He Jinxuan listened as Xinyan closed the door, then returned to Big Brotherâs courtyard, planning to squeeze in with his two nephews for the night.
When he got back, the old couple and Big Brother He Jiefang were still waiting for him.
He entered the room and didnât see He Jian Country: "My second brother went back?"
He Jiefang paused his motion of sealing the furnace for their parents: "Yes, he went back."
The fact that the second brother came today was already beyond his expectations. This past year or so, the second brother has basically not had any dealings with their main family.
Other than Gao Yumei jumping out from time to time, the two families have had no interaction.
If the old couple needed something from the second brother, they would just go over to his courtyard, they wouldnât ask him to come over.
Now, his resentment toward the second brother had faded a lot, but he didnât want to force his wife, so he didnât think about breaking this situation.
The reason he didnât stop the family from going to the Cui Family tomorrow to stand up for their sister was to know that their sisterâs knot couldnât be untied, fearing that she would never be happy for the rest of her life.
Just like his wife, who even now, occasionally dreams and then feels bad for several days afterward, losing a child ultimately hurt the woman the most because she lost the flesh of her own heart.
So he couldnât, and wouldnât, force his wife to forgive them.
Mother He, afraid the eldest would be in a difficult position, interrupted the two and turned to He Jinxuan saying, "Jinxuan, youâve been engaged for almost a year now, why not get married sooner?"
He Jinxuan naturally wanted to get married early too, but some matters he only needed to know for himself. He could strive at his father-in-lawâs place, but for things that werenât settled, he wouldnât reveal them early to his parents to prevent changes and unnecessary troubles for Xinyan.
After all, when they got engaged, his father-in-law had mentioned waiting until Xinyan graduated from college before getting married, and the family had also agreed.
He Jinxuan knew the family meant well: "Mom, Xinyanâs studies are really busy. She now not only has to study English and French but also has to attend classes at the medical school over there, sheâs busy like a spinning top every day."
He Jinxuan had mentioned Xinyanâs matters to the family before, so they werenât surprised when he brought it up again.
He Jiefang sighed: "Some people fear they canât manage just one major, and here she is handling so many at once, and doing so well. Sister-in-law is really amazing, admirable."
Saying this, he even gave a thumbs up.
He paused, thinking of something, and patted He Jinxuanâs shoulder: "No offense, but you really got lucky finding such a good wife.
Whether itâs her family background, education, or looks, theyâre all top-notch. Listen to your brother, you need to be extra kind to her, otherwise, she could find someone else in no time."
He Jinxuan naturally understood what his big brother meant and nodded in agreement: "Yanyan is my fiancĂ©e, if Iâm not good to her, who else would I be good to? Donât worry, Yanyan is a good person."
Yet He Jiefang reminded him again: "Donât just focus on making money, make sure to visit your sister-in-lawâs school occasionally. With how outstanding she is, there are naturally many who admire her, be careful not to let someone steal her away."
He Jinxuan didnât expect his big brother to say such things: "Big Brother, youâre getting on in years, where did you learn all this?"
He Jiefang, seeing his third brother looking at him like that, quickly explained: "Donât overthink it. In the steel factory, which is so big, these things naturally happen. Even though I donât have much education, I understand the ins and outs."
The old couple, hearing the brothersâ conversation, didnât dare to urge marriage any further. Big Brother was right; Third Brother finding someone like Xinyan was truly like burning incense for good luck.
Itâs better to quietly wait for her to graduate; they wouldnât want something like this to affect their relationship and turn out to be not worth the trouble. After all, having such an impressive daughter-in-law was something theyâd bragged about to neighbors more than once.
During the day, there were countless people who came asking about Jinxuanâs and their matters, and those envious expressions certainly didnât escape his notice.
With matters set for tomorrow, they chatted for a while before dispersing.

At the Mechanical Factoryâs residential family compound, Yao Hui was glaring angrily at Lyu Juncheng: "Even if you regret it, it has nothing to do with you. Othersâ glory is completely unrelated to you."
She said these words purposefully to fire him up.
She had learned from her natal family about Xinyanâs return and unexpectedly heard from others that Lyu Juncheng had already seen her before.
No wonder he was giving her a hard time since returning. It turned out he was in a bad mood and using her as a punching bag. Giving in to him all this time, now itâs mutual harm; whoâs afraid of whom.
Lyu Juncheng had had enough of Yao Huiâs tantrums, and he glared back at her: "You donât clean the house or cook the meals and still wonât let me speak. Youâve had your fill of fun outside, now back to cause trouble, youâre something else.
Besides, her coming back has nothing to do with me. Stop dragging her into your points. If you donât want to be together, then leave."
