I Will Never Go Back on My Word!

Just now, he walked back and forth in front of the small courtyard. He realized that Chen Ji had changed a lot and couldn't help but call out to him. He wanted to see if Chen Ji's temper was still so bad. He didn't expect Chen Ji to greet him.

On the other side of the courtyard, Third Aunt Liu, who was munching on melon seeds, couldn't help but say, "Chen Ji, I heard that you came back this time to bring Chu Wei to the big city to enjoy life?"

"Yes, I did." Chen Ji nodded and replied. His tone was gentle and his expression was calm.

Third Aunt Liu was stunned. The melon seeds in her hand fell to the ground. Not only did Chen Ji's appearance change, but his personality also seemed to have changed. In the past, her family raised two horse dogs. One of them pounced on Chen Ji and bit him. In retaliation, Chen Ji pressed it to the ground and smashed its head with a brick.

Horses and dogs were very expensive. The Chen family didn't have any money to compensate them. They could only compensate them with food and eggs. From then on, every time Chen Ji saw her, he would show a fierce expression as if he wanted to eat her.

It had only been a few years since they last met, but he had changed so much. Just what in the world had he encountered on the battlefield that even his personality had changed? It was simply inconceivable.

"Haha, let's not talk about this for now. Hurry up and go into the house to eat. In order to welcome you back, that girl Chu Wei has been preparing food since this morning." She smiled and said. Third Aunt Liu turned around and went home.

Seeing that Chu Wei was busy heating up the dishes, Chen Ji took the initiative to set up the cutlery.Then, he helped to serve the dishes. The two of them cooperated very well.

The sky had just turned dark and everything was ready. After six years, the couple finally sat together for dinner.

Under the peach tree, the night breeze blew gently and brought along the fragrance of the dishes, whetting one's appetite. Chu Wei's culinary skills were not very good, but every dish was definitely made with her heart.

He picked up a piece of pork rib with the chopsticks and placed it in Chu Wei's bowl. Chen Ji said gently, "Eat more. I have been away for too long this time. You must be tired at home."

Chu Wei said gently, "I can understand. A war between two countries is not a street fight. You said in your letter that only by protecting everyone can we protect our small family."

Chen Ji was slightly touched. He said, "Don't worry. The war is over. From now on, I won't go back on my word!"

Six years ago, on the second day of their wedding night, he knelt in front of Chu Wei and promised her that he would return home in at most three years. In the end, he left for six years.

When he returned to Peach Blossom Town this time, he had already made up his mind to bring Chu Wei and his two daughters to the capital as compensation for what he had failed to do.

"Little brother, our mom can't see anymore. Let's talk about this first," Chu Wei said as she picked up a piece of meat for Chen Ji.

In her dream, she went through her future life in advance and learned a lot. She even learned that Chen Ji never loved her and only treated her as his younger sister.

Although it was a dream, she could not ignore it for now. She could not change her heart just because of a dream. Following him to the army was a huge matter, and throwing her mother-in-law behind like this was something she could not overcome.

Hence, she seized this opportunity to have a talk with Chen Ji. No matter how bad his temper was, there had to be a discussion.

Chen Ji picked up a piece of beef brisket and ate a mouthful of rice with it. His actions were not considered elegant, but it gave people a civilized and polite feeling. It was completely different from when he ate like a hungry ghost before he became a soldier.

"Previously, Big brother brought Mom to many places to treat her eyes. The doctor in the capital recommended taking some scans. But Big brother did not let Mom take them," Chu Wei said as she ate.

Chen Ji paused for a moment. He and Chen Hu were of the same mother. He knew his brother and sister-in-law very well.

In comparison, what surprised him was Mother Chen's sudden loss of sight. Mother Chen had always been in good health. She didn't even take medicine when she had a cold and fever. So how could she lose her sight?

Seeing that he did not speak, Chu Wei said again, "How many days can you stay for when you're back this time? If you can, stay for a few more days and bring Mom to the city for that scan to see what illness she has."

Chen Ji nodded. "Alright, I'll bring Mom tomorrow!"

He was filial to begin with, and what Chu Wei said made sense, so there was naturally no reason for him to not agree. However, no matter how much they thought about it, it was useless. Whether they were going to treat her or not depended on whether Mother Chen agreed.

Mother Chen did not want to implicate Chen Ji's family. When they mentioned the doctor, she chased them out without a word.

In her dream, for various reasons, she chose to stay behind to take care of her mother-in-law. Due to the idea of favoring boys over girls, she felt that there was really no need for her two daughters to send them to the capital to study. No matter how good their studies were, it was better to marry them off. Besides, a woman's virtue was to be without talent. However, her mother-in-law felt that she was a burden to them. When Chu Wei went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, Mrs. Chen knocked her head against the wall and ended her life.

Although she did not have much experience and was not cultured, she was not a fool. She could tell that her mother-in-law was in good health and did not have any major illnesses. She was just blind.
