The poor husband I picked up turned out to be from a wealthy family

Chapter 1059 Dad is missing?

An hour later, Yang Juan returned carrying two large, heavy bags of groceries. Fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, but her face still wore that cheerful expression.

"Look at you, buying so much, you must be tired." Yan Jiangshan quickly stepped forward and took the bags.

"Not tired at all," Yang Juan said while changing her shoes. "Look what I bought: braised pork belly, which Qingqing loves, I picked out a piece with three layers of fat and lean meat; Xiao Bei likes things lighter, so I bought a sea bass, best steamed; Xiao Peng loves spicy food, so these fresh chilies and Sichuan peppercorns are for him, I'll make boiled pork slices for dinner; Wenwen loves shrimp, these prawns are lively and jumping; and the children, An'an and Kang Kang love cola chicken wings, Yang Yang likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and I also bought some strawberries and blueberries for them as dessert..."

She took the ingredients out of the bag one by one, sorted them out, and recited them as if they were her own treasures. She remembered clearly which child liked sweet food, which liked salty food, which liked soft and sticky food, and which preferred crispy food, as if those preferences had been engraved in her heart.

She did a perfect job as both a mother-in-law and a grandmother.

Yan Jiangshan listened quietly to her, watching her focused and joyful expression, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew that Yang Juan's meticulousness and dedication were not just to please him, but because she truly treated this family and his children as her own.

This affection was so profound that it made him feel that his later years were made exceptionally secure and warm because of Yang Juan.

"Alright, you take a break, I'll clean up," Yan Jiangshan said, taking her hand. "There will be a lot of people tonight, let me lend a hand."

Yang Juan smiled and patted the back of his hand: "I'm not tired, I'm happy to. It's lively with the children here!"

A moment later, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the kitchen window, illuminating Yang Juan's busy figure and highlighting the fine lines around her eyes that appeared with joy. Everything seemed so warm and beautiful.

……

night.

The Yan family and the Liu Xiaopeng family both arrived.

Yang Juan and Yan Jiangshan were beaming with joy.

The children were very happy. After greeting their grandparents, they ran to a corner of the living room to play.

Shen Qing and Zhang Wenwen walked towards the kitchen.

"Aunt Yang, let us help you," Shen Qing said.

"No need, I've already finished cooking. It's all your favorite dishes," Yang Juan said. She had been busy for a long time and was very tired, but she was also very happy.

The family chatted during the meal.

The children and adults alike enjoyed the meal very much.

The main reason was that the dish was just so delicious.

Shen Qing said, "Aunt Yang, thank you so much for today. You made all our favorite dishes."

"Then I'm happy if you enjoy your meal. That's all I can do for you, these are the simple things. I can't help with anything big. I feel a great sense of accomplishment just knowing you can eat the food you like."

Yan Jiangshan, who was standing to the side, said, "Your Aunt Yang went to the supermarket after lunch to buy the ingredients that each of you likes, and then she worked hard all afternoon to cook. I saw it all. Now that your aunt is my wife, you can no longer call her 'Auntie'. She treats you like her own children, so you should try to change how you address her from now on. She is your mother!"

Shen Qing and Zhang Wenwen were the first to speak, "Mom!"

Yang Juan smiled and agreed, "Okay!"

Then Yan Bei and Liu Xiaopeng also called out, "Mom!"

"Okay! In my heart, you are all my children. As long as our family is harmonious, that's more important than anything else."

"..."

After a meal.

Some people were watching TV, some were eating fruit, and some were chatting.

The atmosphere at home is wonderful. It's both warm and joyful.

Shen Qing suddenly thought of something and walked over to Yang Juan's side.

"Mom, there's something I want to ask you."

"Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Mom, have your brother and sister-in-law come to see you?"

"Mmm." Yang Juan nodded.

"They didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"

"No, it's all thanks to your dad today."

"why would you say so."

“Ever since my brother ran into us that day, he’s been trying every means to find me. I know what they’re thinking. They think I’m doing well, so they want to get involved. But your dad told them today that the house is rented, the villa is rented, and nothing is his own. As soon as they heard that, they got up and left.” Yang Juan finished speaking and smiled. “If it weren’t for that, I would definitely still be bothered by them.”

Shen Qing also said with a smile, "It seems that my dad was right to do it this way. It's fine if they come to see you, we should definitely give them a warm welcome, but it would be so meaningless if they came with other motives."

"Who says otherwise? I know my brother and sister-in-law well. If they were good people, would I still refuse to see them?"

"Alright, I guess after hearing what my dad said, they won't come looking for you anymore."

“Yes! It’s best not to come looking for me,” Yang Juan said.

"..."

after awhile.

Just as Shen Qing and the others were about to go back.

Shen Qing's phone suddenly rang.

It was Wang Yaju who called.

"Hey, Mom. What's wrong?"

"Qingqing, when are you coming back?"

"Is something wrong, Mom?" Shen Qing also sensed something was amiss for a moment.

"After dinner, your dad went out for a walk. It's been two hours and he still hasn't come back. I called him and his phone was suddenly switched off."

"What? We're going back right now?"

"Uh-huh."

Shen Qing told Yan Bei about this, and then hurriedly took the child to the Yan family villa.

On the way, Shen Qinglai said, "Honey, drive slowly. Let me check carefully to see if my dad is on the side of the road."

"it is good!"

Yan Bei slowed down the car.

Shen Qing rolled down the car window and looked carefully outside.

Then I called my mother again.

"Mom, has Dad come home yet?"

"Not yet. We don't know where he went, or if he's in danger."

"Mom, don't worry. I'll be home soon. I'll check if Dad is on the roadside in the direction I'm heading home."

"Uh-huh."

Yan Bei noticed Shen Qing's anxiety and comforted her while driving, "Honey, don't worry. Maybe Dad's phone is dead. He's heading home. Or maybe he's lost because the villa area is so big."

"Yeah, my dad's a grown man, he should be fine."

Despite trying to reassure herself, Shen Qing was still very worried about her father. She prayed that he was alright and had just gotten lost.

At this moment, Yan Bei suddenly spoke up, "Wife, I'm sending people over to look for it now. Don't worry, we'll definitely find it."

"Uh-huh."
