Shen Wanniang was still in the courtyard wondering what was going on with Pei Xiuhe's visit, but she didn't expect Huo Junan to bring in two unfamiliar faces.

But if you say she's a stranger, that's not entirely true. The old woman in front of her looks about 40-50% similar to Old Man Huo.

"This is..." Shen Wanniang asked hurriedly.

"This is Aunt Dongmei." Huo Junan said.

"Auntie, please sit inside quickly."

I had known that Old Huo had a sister, but life was difficult for everyone in the past, especially when Old Huo married the Wang family, so he lost contact with the Huo family for a long time.

I didn't expect to come back this time.

Even though it was our first meeting, Shen Wanniang, who is my father-in-law’s biological sister, certainly welcomed me warmly.

"This is..." Huo Dongmei was stunned, "Jun An, is this your wife?"

"Yeah!" Huo Junan laughed from the bottom of his heart, "This is Wan Niang. We have been married for several years, and Wan Niang is a very nice person."

Huo Dongmei was happy, "Oh, what a beautiful daughter-in-law. I didn't expect Jun An to be so lucky."

"Come on, Ersu, call me cousin."

"Cousin." Ersu was a little timid.

"Hey." Shen Wanniang agreed enthusiastically, looking at the swarthy girl in front of her who looked about twenty years old. Although her skin was darker, she still had big eyes and double eyelids, and she still looked delicate. "Come, follow me. Come inside."

At this time, Old Man Huo also came out.

When the brother and sister met, they hugged each other happily.

"Brother."

"Sister Dongmei."

"We haven't seen each other for many years."

"Yes, brother, my sister has been thinking about you."

As they talked, both of them shed tears.

Shen Wanniang sent them into the house, poured hot tea and got snacks.

"Sister Dongmei, what's going on with you? In the blink of an eye, you haven't been back for many years. In fact, I was thinking about you too. If I hadn't been busy at home, I would have wanted to see you."

Huo Dongmei shook his head, "Oh, don't mention it, our family's life was not as good as every year."

As she said that, she looked around the whole house and then at the yard outside, "Hey, brother, isn't this the old house left by our parents when they were here? Did you renovate it?"

"It was pushed down and rebuilt." Mr. Huo was very proud. "It didn't take any effort on my part. It was all built by my son and daughter-in-law."

"Also, brother, your waist and legs are also healed?"

"Okay, my daughter-in-law is a doctor and showed it to me."

"Ah, I never thought that my nephew-in-law has such ability."

"She has become very capable. She treats patients, runs a workshop, and now she has opened a shop in the town. She is making a lot of money." Old Man Huo couldn't stop praising his daughter-in-law.

Huo Dongmei looked at Shen Wanniang, and she felt very fond of her nephew-in-law, but when she looked at her daughter again, she felt a little bit dissatisfied.

"Stop talking about us, how are you? What happened?" Old Man Huo was very concerned about his sister.

Huo Dongmei sighed, "It's not just that the parents are short-lived, Lao Xue is also in poor health and can't do the work for others. In the past few years, it has been hard to marry off Da Su and give Tu Ren a wife. No, I also told Er Su last year. It’s a matter of marriage.”

Huo Dongmei glanced at Ersu, who quickly lowered his head.

"Oh, this child's life is in danger. On the night of her wedding this year, her man was so drunk that he hit a stone pillar and killed himself."

"ah?"

Shen Wanniang was also shocked, thinking that such a thing could happen.

Then this Ersu should be less looked down upon by others. This country in the countryside is very feudal in ideology.

Huo Dongmei started to cry, "We didn't ask that man to drink, and it had nothing to do with us. But as soon as this happened, her husband's family cursed and insisted that Ersu was a concubine, and even asked us to cancel the marriage. gift money.”

Old Man Huo was also furious when he heard this, "What's going on?"

"I had no choice but to refund the gift money to them. But even if we refunded it, the family would come to us from time to time and ask us to compensate."

"Never mind them, it's enough if the gift money is refunded." Mr. Huo stood firmly on his sister's side, "I won't compensate them. This Ersu didn't even get into the bridal chamber and became a widow. Who do we depend on?"

"Who says it's not the case? Our family is dying of worry now, so we just want to find another in-law's family for Er Su."

"Did you say it?" Shen Wanniang asked.

Ersu lowered his head, "The matchmaker did have something to say, but the person he mentioned was too bad. He was either an old widower or someone with a physical condition."

"Yes, Ersu and I were at our wits end, so we thought of my eldest brother coming here, wondering if there was anything we could do if we came back."

Old Man Huo nodded, "You're right to come back. Now our family is no better than before, and our life is better. Now that you're back, you take Ersu to live at home first, and you can plan the rest later."

"Hey, Ersu, let's follow your uncle's arrangements."

Shen Wanniang was originally a kind-hearted person, and she was a relative of the Huo family.

She then said: "Then there is still a house over there in the old courtyard, so let Auntie and Ersu live there first."

"Yeah, daughter-in-law, you make the arrangements."

"Then Jun An will take my aunt and the others to clean up. Just in time, I'll make some food and we'll have a good time."

"Let's go." Huo Junan politely took Huo Dongmei and Xue Ersu to the old home.

Laoyuan has been empty since the Wang family was captured. Except for storing some grain in the warehouse, there is no one living here.

"You can live in two rooms here, you can see which one you live in."

"Just stay in this room, this room is particularly nice." The room where Xue Ersu was standing was the house where Song Youzhi and Sun Qingmei used to live. There was also a dressing box left by Sun Qingmei.

Xue Ersu liked it when he saw it.

"Come here, give me your baggage, and I will put it on a high place for you."

It was quite a big baggage, so Huo Junan put it on the top of the cabinet with one hand.

He is tall and strong, with strong bones. He rarely wears summer clothes to reveal his strong arms and waist.

What woman wouldn't want to marry this man with his physique?

Xue Ersu smiled and said: "Thank you, cousin. My cousin is still as good-looking and kind as before."

"Do you remember what happened when you were a child?" Huo Junan actually didn't have a deep impression of this cousin. His mother was ill when he was young. Later, when Wang came in, he went out to hunt alone to earn a living...

"Of course I remember. My cousin took me to catch fish before."

"Haha, I almost forgot. However, if you like to eat fish, you can ask your cousin to cook it. The pickled fish made by your cousin is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten in my life."
