"Father, Mother, your son has returned..." Before he arrived, Ye Gaoyun’s voice had already passed through the door.
Ye Gaoyun had married into the Yan Family for quite so years now and had even fathered a son and a daughter. However, both children carried the Yan surna, which was the greatest awkwardness for a man who had married into another family.
Because, in this era, continuing the family line was of utmost importance. With his children bearing soone else’s surna, it was as if Ye Gaoyun had no roots of his own.
Ye Gaoyun rarely ca ho, but Ye Jiu still had a good impression of this third brother.
Nobody knew what was on Mrs. He’s mind. Although her actions seed very cheerful, that was only for an instant. Then she continued to sit properly on the kang bed, indifferent and unapproachable.
To everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t just Ye Gaoyun who ca back this ti. His wife, Mrs. Yan, and both of their children followed behind him.
Ye Gaoyun’s eldest daughter was already seven years old, yet Mrs. Yan’s visits to the Ye Family could be counted on one hand, and the Ye children hardly had any impression of this third aunt.
Ye Jiu vaguely rembered that Mrs. Yan seed to have a rather aloof temperant, but she wasn’t the type to bully soone for no reason.
No one was more qualified to say this than Ye Jiu because she herself had been nearly crippled once.
Mrs. Yan had also had her chances to be alone with her, but at most Mrs. Yan would stay silent, never exhibiting any actions of bullying her in secret.
Ye Gaoyun ca in carrying things, with Mrs. Yan following behind him. Upon seeing the elders, they both paid their respects, as did Ye Gaoyun’s eldest daughter, Yan Caicai, and his younger son, Yan Jun. Both children were taught very well-mannered, at such a young age they were composed and behaved nothing like the wild kids running around in the countryside.
Old Man Ye was very pleased with this and greeted Ye Gaoyun and his wife, "It’s good that you’ve co back. It’s cold, so third daughter-in-law, quickly take the children to the kang bed to sit with your mother-in-law to warm up."
Ye Gaoyun placed the gifts he had brought on the table, then exchanged a few words with Mrs. He before he went to the outer room.
Mrs. Yan did not sit on the kang bed either, but took a stool to sit aside. Her speech was extrely polite, but her face always carried a faint expression, even causing her two children to seem a bit too stern.
Not to ntion Ye Jiu, even Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao did not interact much with Mrs. Yan and were even less familiar with her.
Mrs. Yan was cold by nature, and Mrs. He was not the type to seek out others’ company. If Mrs. Yan didn’t feel like talking, Mrs. He would not bother to initiate conversation, so Mrs. Yan seed to be ostracized.
However, as Ye Gaoyun was a son who had married out, Mrs. Yan was different from the other daughters-in-law, and Mrs. He was even less likely to keep finding issues with her.
Fortunately, even so, Mrs. Yan did not feel awkward and could still hold her own.
But Ye Jiu could not bear to see such an awkward scene and asked, "It’s still snowing heavily outside. Why did third brother and sister-in-law co over today?"
The corners of Mrs. Yan’s mouth lifted into a slight smile, and she replied, "Your third brother said that today your eldest and second brothers would also co to send New Year’s gifts to Father and Mother. He also wished to reunite with the family. With and the children having nothing to attend to at ho, we followed him here."
Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "Nice words, but why didn’t I see him coming back to reunite with the family in the past years!" It’s only because the family is doing well these days that he rushes back.
