Chapter 102 If you can't change your wife's mind, then listen to her arrangements.

Xie Zhiyan paused for a moment. Actually, this road was very safe, with guards on duty 24 hours a day. But he knew he couldn't change Shu Ying's mind, so he simply listened to her.
Xie Zhiyan turned to look at Shu Ying. Although he was now awake, he still felt very tired.
He tried to lift his arm, and although he could manage it with difficulty, he felt weak in his limbs.
Now that he has finally met Shuying and her child again, the family reunion is hard-won, and he only wants to protect Shuying.
Xie Zhiyan's fingers twitched slightly, and he was even a little worried that Shu Ying would be bullied in the family compound.
Although the possibility is extremely slim, Shu Ying's identity is indeed different from that of ordinary people.
Most of the women in the family compound came from the countryside and were very simple-minded, but due to the influence of the general environment, they inevitably harbored some hostility towards people from the city.
Shu Ying wasn't very good at interpersonal communication, and since they would be living together from now on, they would inevitably run into each other. He didn't want Shu Ying to suffer any injustice.
Thinking of all this, Xie Zhiyan's voice became somewhat strained.
"Are you adjusting well to your new place at the military base? If there's anything that makes you uncomfortable, you can tell me and I'll try my best to help."
The arrival itself was rather sudden. Although he had been applying for Shuying's military dependent status since he returned, he did not expect Shuying to come with the child ahead of time.
Shu Ying leaned back in her chair: "It's alright. Although this place feels unfamiliar, everyone is very welcoming to us. Xiao Wang had a hard day today, helping to take care of the children at home and bringing food to Qingqing and me at the hospital. Without their help, I probably wouldn't have been able to manage so many things on my own."
Duan Huaichuan was still in the hospital, Li Qingqing was already preoccupied, and their two children were crying for food at home.
Although Song Zhaodi could help, she was new to the place and didn't know anything. If there wasn't someone familiar with the environment, the house would probably be in complete chaos.
Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes slightly: "I'm sorry, everything just happened at the same time. It was too rushed. I didn't have time to buy anything at home, and the house wasn't even cleaned. I guess it's uninhabitable right now."
These tasks will all fall on Shu Ying's shoulders again. His condition has improved a bit, but he doesn't know how long it will take to go back and clean.
If he lived alone, it would be alright, but now it's a whole family, and we can't let the children live in a dirty environment forever.
Shu Ying smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Although we came in a hurry, the comrades who received us have already cleaned the house spotless. Wang Zhande and Li Dongfang invited a lot of people over, as well as Qi Zecheng. Although he has a rather sour face, he is quite nice to the children."
The people here are actually quite strange. They seem to dislike them at first, but then they keep trying to help them.
"Oh right, and Ye Zhanying, she came to see you at the hospital today, but you weren't awake yet. She usually seems quite fierce, but today she brought a big bucket of food for the children, and the family didn't finish it all."
Even Xie Zhiyan was somewhat surprised when Ye Zhanying's name was mentioned.
"Ye Zhanying? She can still go and help?"
Shu Ying nodded, intrigued: "You didn't expect that either, did you? She used to look at me so fiercely, I always thought she hated me. I didn't expect her to be such a kind girl. It seems I was prejudiced against her before."
Xie Zhiyan lowered his head and remained silent.
Actually, it wasn't that Shu Ying was biased; Ye Zhanying had indeed been targeting Shu Ying from the beginning.
After he discovered this, he gave her many serious warnings, but Ye Zhanying wouldn't listen. Fortunately, she eventually started working and distanced herself from Shu Ying. The two of them didn't have much contact after that, and the past issues were left unresolved.
"I thought she would make things too difficult for you. She's always been this unruly since she was little. Uncle Ye thinks she's the only girl in the family, so he usually spoils her. When we got married, she—"
Xie Zhiyan's gaze towards Shu Ying abruptly ended. He gently waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it. But there must be something about you that makes her feel inferior. She admires the strong very much."
Shu Ying twirled her hair with one hand, thinking for a while: "Then I don't know. Maybe it's because your sister is here. The two of us are in stark contrast. Even if she hates me, seeing someone she hates even more makes me seem normal."
Speaking of which, I have to thank Ye Zhanying today, otherwise Xie Wanying probably wouldn't have left so quickly.
Xie Zhiyan chuckled: "If you were Ye Zhanying's boss, she wouldn't have remained stagnant for so many years. If she were really angry, she wouldn't care who came; she would curse her boss along with them."
Shu Ying originally thought Ye Zhanying only disliked her, but she didn't expect that Ye Zhanying disliked the whole world equally, which made her feel much better instantly.
"I've always been quite tolerant of girls."
Her eyes flickered, and she said somewhat reluctantly, "Apart from Xie Wanying."
Shu Ying's expression darkened when this person was suddenly mentioned.
She's usually quite perceptive, and today at the hospital, she sensed that this person's condition was a bit off.
