In the evening, the Ye Family was having dinner, and the Gu Family brothers had co along with their wives.
"Co in quickly and have a seat, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Honey, go to the kitchen and add so dishes."
Ye Fu saw them arrive and quickly ushered them in, also telling Ye’s mother to grab so bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.
Ye Qian hurriedly moved chairs for them.
Sister-in-law quickly stopped Ye’s mother.
"Auntie, don’t trouble yourselves, we’ve already eaten at ho."
"Then have a bit more, just wait a little while."
Ye’s mother still wanted to prepare so food.
"Auntie, really don’t bother, we ate before coming over, we’re still quite full."
Brother Gu said as he patted his belly.
"Mom and Dad, they’ve already eaten, so let’s not fuss, and quickly have our al. Brother and Sister-in-law, please have so water and sit down to rest."
Gu Yi knew her brother and sister-in-law weren’t eating, so she poured them so water.
"Uncle and Auntie, please continue eating, we’re all family, no need to worry about us."
Brother Gu said while taking a sip of water.
"Alright then, just sit for a bit."
Ye Fu didn’t insist anymore, and sat down to finish his al quickly.
After everyone finished eating, the Gu Family brothers helped carry out Gu Yi’s luggage.
"Uncle and Auntie, it’s already dark, let us take Yiyi. You don’t need to co along."
Brother Gu noticed that Ye Family’s parents wanted to join, and quickly stopped them.
"Dad, Mom, there’s no need for you to go, it’s quite a distance, and it’s inconvenient to co back. Qianqian, you too, you should stay."
Gu Yi said while looking at Ye Qian, who was standing to the side.
"Sister-in-law, I made this specially for you today. Take it to eat on your way."
Ye Qian handed a bag of cakes to Gu Yi.
"Thank you, Qianqian."
Gu Yi smiled as she accepted the cakes.
"No need to thank ."
Ye Qian said, her voice a bit choked up.
"This girl is reluctant to see her sister-in-law leave. It’s getting late, you all should go."
Ye’s mother noticed and quickly changed the subject with a smile.
"Yes, Dad, Mom, take care of yourselves at ho. Qianqian, once I’m settled, I’ll call you, and hopefully, we’ll co back during the New Year."
Gu Yi patted Ye Qian’s back and said with a smile.
"Okay, I’ll et you at the station then."
Ye Qian quickly wiped her tears and smiled at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi noticed she said "you" and not "you all," realizing her place in Ye Qian’s heart was higher than her brother’s.
"Alright, make sure to hurry. If you can bring your brother-in-law along to pick us up, that would be great."
Gu Yi sotis felt worried; in her previous life, Ye Qian married early.
Even though it didn’t end well, she wasn’t sure if it was her presence in this life that caused Ye Qian not to find soone suitable yet.
Gu Yi thought she would visit the army and see if there was a suitable young man to solve Ye Qian’s lifelong concerns.
In future, it would be easier for Ye Qian to move to B City, so they could look after Ye Family’s parents conveniently.
"Yiyi, make sure to call us once you arrive."
Ye’s mother was also reluctant to let her go. Over the past two years, she had witnessed everything Gu Yi did, and rembered it all. She had co to see Gu Yi as her own daughter.
Now she was leaving, and there was an emptiness in her heart.
"Okay, Dad, Mom, Qianqian, I’m off."
Brother Gu and the others had rented a car to co over, and after loading the luggage, the Gu Family boarded the car, waiting.
Gu Yi sat down and waved with a smile at the Ye Family standing at the door.
As the car drove off a bit.
"Your mother-in-law really treats you like her daughter. I just saw her secretly wiping her tears."
Sister-in-law said to Gu Yi softly.
"Yes, my mother-in-law is really nice."
Whether it was in the previous life or this one, Ye’s mother had always been kind to Gu Yi.
"It’s a blessing to have in-laws like this, and we are all lucky to have it."
Sister-in-law laughed as she spoke.
"Yes, we are all very fortunate."
Second Sister-in-law also chid in.
Everyone laughed together.
For a ti, the atmosphere in the car lightened up.
Brother Gu went to buy four platform tickets, and everyone walked onto the platform together.
"Rember to call us if anything cos up and take good care of yourself there."
Sister-in-law held Gu Yi’s hand.
"Once you get there, make sure to give us a heads-up with your new contact number."
Second Sister-in-law stood on Gu Yi’s other side.
"Alright, enough chatting, it’s getting late, Yiyi, quickly find your seat."
Brother Gu saw that the three of them could talk forever, so he interrupted them.
"Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, I’ll head off. Once I arrive, I’ll call you."
Gu Yi realized ti was running out. After saying goodbye to her sisters-in-law, she followed her eldest and second brothers to find her seat on the train.
"Take great care of yourself there. If Ye Hao bullies you, tell and your elder brother, and we’ll stand up for you."
Gu the second brother finally voiced his thoughts after suppressing them the entire way.
In his eyes, Gu Yi had always been exceptionally obedient. When she was young, she was shy around people and always protected by both of them, so she wasn’t bullied. Although she’s grown up now, Gu the second brother still feared she’d be wronged.
"What are you saying, Yiyi? Don’t listen to your second brother. Married life will have its ups and downs, both parties need to give a little. If anything happens, just give your brothers a call."
Towards the end, Brother Gu too began to sound a bit off-beat.
Gu Yi laughed hearing this.
"I’ve taken note of it, Brother, and Second Brother, the train is about to leave, you should head down. I’ll be fine."
The conductor also announced for those seeing off passengers to leave the train.
Once the Gu Family brothers got off, the train slowly started moving.
Gu Yi’s seat was by the window, which allowed her to see her brothers and sisters-in-law on the platform.
She waved to them.
The train gradually picked up speed and moved forward.
Once she exited B City train station, she saw Li Yitian waving at the exit.
Gu Yi suddenly realized how quickly ti had passed.
Every quarter, she would visit B City once due to Ye Hao’s military status, with most tis getting picked up at the station by Li Yitian.
Now, she would be living here permanently. If Ye Hao’s life still followed the sa path as before, she’s likely to establish roots here too.
"Finally, I’ve been waiting for you to settle in B City. Tired? I’ve arranged a hotel for you. Let take you there to rest."
Li Yitian approached to take her suitcase as soon as he saw her.
"Thank you. But what about the matter I asked you to look into?"
Gu Yi was still quite concerned about finding a place quickly, so she could surprise Ye Hao once he graduated.
"Don’t worry, I’ve checked several places. You can rest well at the hotel today and tomorrow I’ll accompany you to check them out one by one, so you can pick your favorite, alright?"
"I’ll follow your plan then."
Having a friend like Li Yitian was also one of the blessings from her rebirth, Gu Yi felt.
"Would you want to grab a bite?"
After taking Gu Yi to her room, Li Yitian asked.
"No, thanks. I’ll rest for now, you go ahead with your work."
"Still so polite. Alright, you take a nice rest then. There are so things at the shop I need to handle, but I’ll co to pick you up in the morning."
With plans to accompany Gu Yi to look at houses tomorrow, Li Yitian needed to get everything in order at his shop today.
