C28 Military sister-in-law (2/2)

Tang Wulin's wife was the one in charge of cooking in the yard. She had a piece of emerald green kelp skin in her hand and was currently washing it. When she saw Tang Xiu come out, she hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron, feeling a bit helpless.

”Greetings Madam Chief.”

Ye Guan was surprised, ”You must have recognized the wrong person, I am...”

”I'm not mistaken. Those brats have already told me to cook well, and they've said quite a bit. How come they haven't eaten anymore so quickly? Are their meals not good for their appetites?”

Tang Sister-in-Law was so passionate that Ye Guan felt a bit uncomfortable. She pretended that auntie had admitted her wrongs when she was old. Besides, there were quite a few head ladies living in this courtyard. She was afraid that Sister-in-law would call everyone else that.

”No, your cooking skills are very good, but my appetite is only this big.”

He touched his belly and smiled brilliantly. Coming here really felt peaceful.

No wonder, in her previous life, whenever she and Lu Jin Ting quarreled, he would always return to the army and in one go, he would be gone for half a month.

Sis Tang thoughtfully nodded her head, blinking her eyes as she continued to brush the kelp in her heart.

There were many ropes under the huge banyan tree, some to dry clothes, some to dry the sheets. The sun was at the west now, and there were only a few pieces of kelp that Tang Sister-in-Law had just washed.

Looking at Tang Xiu's chapped fingers, the autumn wind was so cold that Ye Guan had to tighten his clothes tightly. She felt a bit of heartache.

”Which family are you from?”

Sister-in-law Tang's hand that was washing the kelp stopped, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled.

”My wife has been dead for a long time. Fortunately, the army didn't abandon me, so they were able to live here with their children.”

Saying that, a girl ran out from the other side of the room. She was slightly bigger than a small group of people. She looked to be about five or six years old.

”This girl wants to grow up and join the army. She's really pissing me off.”

Sister-in-Law Tang smiled as she complained to Supervisor Ye.

He slowly squatted down and asked her, ”Little friend, joining the army is very dangerous, but you're a girl …”

”So what if you're a girl? Girls can still beat up bad guys!”

The girl's face was full of stubbornness. Her expression seemed to be filled with determination, like she was extremely stubborn.

Sister-in-Law Tang hastily scolded, ”Your father has already left. Who do you want to hit?” ”You're still not going to go back to your room and do your homework!”

The little girl put her hands on her waist angrily, ”I will hit whoever killed my father! ”Humph!”

With her frail body and stubbornness that made her look like she couldn't be persuaded, wasn't this the same as him?

Steward Ye kept following the child into the house until the orange light in front of the window lit up. Only then did she look away.

Tang Xiu let out a sigh. ”We only have one son, and he talked about his wife with so much difficulty. In the end, both father and son died on the battlefield, and his wife ran away, leaving only the two of us. This little girl still wants to join the army. Pfft, don't even think about leaving my wife by herself!”

It was no wonder that she was so angry when she heard the little girl talk about it. Ye Guan looked away and sighed.

He said, ”Take care of yourself,” and went back into the house.

The sky gradually turned dark, and the cold autumn wind blew on his body, forming a smooth layer of cold air.

Ye Guan sat down beside Lu Jin Ting, gently pulling on his sleeve, causing him to turn around.

”Uncle, you're drunk.”
