Chapter 366 Guiding Zhao Yalan
Zhao Yalan lived in a small fenced courtyard with four main rooms and a kitchen.

When Su Nuannuan arrived, she saw Zhao's parents, dressed simply, teaching their child to read in the yard.

The child was Duan Zhao's sickly son, Duan Zhanji.

When Duan Zhanji was born, he was very sickly, so Duan Zhao asked a fortune teller to give him this name.

The child had delicate features, but his skin was paler than that of normal children, and he exuded an air of illness.

Su Nuannuan could tell from the other person's face that they were destined to die young.

Seeing Su Nuannuan's gaze fall on the three people in the courtyard, Zhao Yalan smiled.

“Zhan Jiren is a good person, my parents like him very much. He is also a pitiful person.”

From Zhao Yalan's words, Su Nuannuan knew that she truly liked Duan Zhanji.

This put Su Nuannuan at ease.

Not seeing Duan Huaying, Su Nuannuan asked.

"Sister Yalan, why don't I see Huaying?"

Zhao Yalan pointed outside and said.

"Hua Ying guessed that he was playing outside with some of Duan Zhao's comrades' children."

At this moment, Zhao's parents also saw Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan at the door.

Su Nuannuan was Zhao Yalan's former sister-in-law, so Zhao's parents naturally knew her. In particular, Zhao's father hadn't met Su Nuannuan, this remarkable student, back in school.

Both of them were very happy to see Su Nuannuan.

Duan Zhanji cowered behind Zhao's father, somewhat timidly. Realizing that Su Nuannuan knew Zhao's father and the other two, he secretly peeked out to look at Su Nuannuan.

When Su Nuannuan met the soft eyes of a child, her heart softened.

She stepped forward, knelt down, gently stroked the other person's soft hair, and said tenderly.

"Hello, Xiao Zhanji. I'm Huaying's aunt. You can also call me Auntie."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan took out two fruit lollipops and placed them in Duan Zhanji's palm.

The child was shy and didn't know Su Nuannuan well. After accepting the candy, he hid behind Zhao's father again.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yalan smiled and said.

"Nuan Nuan, Zhan Ji likes you very much."

After bringing the person into the house, Zhao Yalan spoke to her mother.

"Mom, call Huaying back and let Nuannuan meet him."

Knowing that Su Nuannuan was currently training barefoot doctors at the county hospital and had work to do the next day, Zhao Yalan wanted Duan Huaying to come back and meet with Su Nuannuan.

Along the way, Su Nuannuan had already learned why Zhao Yalan was not contacting them.

Su Nuannuan was actually quite troubled.

Zhao Yalan's current condition is actually very bad; she's like she's holding in a lot of anger. If this continues for too long, it will be very bad for her health.

Su Nuannuan wanted to have a good talk with Zhao Yalan.

"Sister Yalan, I'd like to talk to you alone."

Upon hearing this, Zhao's father said...

"You guys chat, I'll continue my studies with Zhanji."

Zhao's father also noticed that Zhao Yalan had been acting strangely lately. However, there was nothing he could do about it.

He also wanted Su Nuannuan to persuade Zhao Yalan not to be so stubborn.

Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan entered the bedroom together. Su Nuannuan clearly noticed that the bedroom only contained Zhao Yalan's personal belongings; there was no trace of Duan Zhao. Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan frowned.

She looked at Zhao Yalan and asked.

"Duan Zhao doesn't sleep with you?"

Su Nuannuan's blunt words made Zhao Yalan blush.

Hearing the anger in Su Nuannuan's words, Zhao Yalan quickly waved her hand and said.

"No, it's because I'm not used to it, so I let Duan Zhao sleep next door."

Hearing Zhao Yalan's words, Su Nuannuan felt somewhat helpless.

She didn't know what to say. Even if you don't like it, you can't sleep in separate beds. This is very detrimental to your relationship in the long run.

Although Zhao Yalan remarried, hoping to find someone to protect her, this doesn't mean they didn't want their relationship to be unhappy.

Otherwise, Grandpa Ji wouldn't have taken Zhao Yalan on countless blind dates back then.

Su Nuannuan understood immediately from Zhao Yalan's expression that she couldn't get over her inner hurdle.

No wonder Yalan hasn't been in a good mood lately. Without a man to date, of course she'll have time to overthink things.

Su Nuannuan was confident that if Zhao Yalan and Duan Zhao really got along well, Zhao Yalan would have no time to worry or be sad.

Su Nuannuan pulled Zhao Yalan down to sit and began to persuade her.

“Sister Yalan, you can’t do this. You and Duan Zhao are already married. How can you sleep separately after marriage? Even if you don’t have feelings for each other now, who can be sure about the future? Duan Zhao was carefully chosen by Grandpa Ji, so he shouldn’t have any character issues. We all hope that you can have a good life in the future. Even if you remarry, we hope that you can find happiness.”

Zhao Yalan was initially a little shy. However, after hearing the rest, she fell silent and lowered her head.

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Zhao Yalan raised her head, her eyes red and her voice choked with emotion.

“I don’t know what to do either. I also want to live a good life with Duan Zhao, but... I just feel a little sorry for Hua Ying’s father.”

Su Nuannuan never expected that Zhao Yalan, who had received higher education, would be so feudal.

She shook her head in disapproval and said.

“You can’t think like that. Actually, you haven’t wronged your older brother. On the contrary, he owes you a lot. You took care of your in-laws and raised Huaying so well. Even now, you haven’t abandoned Huaying. Your older brother is the one who has failed you. Mom and Dad want you to be well, and Mingzhou and I want you to be well too. Let bygones be bygones. Duan Zhao is your future.”

If Zhao Yalan were more ruthless, she could have simply abandoned Hua Ying. However, she still kept him by her side. Zhao Yalan has already sacrificed so much for the Chu family.

Even if Chu Minghe comes to criticize her tomorrow, Su Nuannuan believes that Chu Wenzhu will definitely not stand idly by.

Su Nuannuan's words touched Zhao Yalan's heart.

The tall man's figure in my memory has become very blurry.

Nuannuan is right. Now that she's divorced, she should have a new life.

Seeing the renewed sparkle in Zhao Yalan's eyes, Su Nuannuan seized the opportunity to speak.

"Sister Yalan, you not only need to get along well with Duan Zhao, but you also need to integrate into local life. I heard from the other women that the military district primary school is recruiting teachers recently, you could give it a try!"

Zhao Yalan's educational level far surpasses everyone else here. Giving her a chance to compete for a primary school teacher position would be a piece of cake.

Zhao Yalan had also heard about this.

However, she had reservations and dared not sign up.

Seeing Zhao Yalan's hesitation, Su Nuannuan knew she was bothered by her status. So, Su Nuannuan quickly spoke up.

"Sister Yalan, don't worry. You can discuss this with Duan Zhao tonight."

Su Nuannuan said this because Zhao Yalan would be living with Duan Zhao in the future, and Zhao Yalan's affairs were not only her own but also Duan Zhao's. She wanted to inform Duan Zhao beforehand to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Moreover, Su Nuannuan felt that this opportunity could help strengthen their relationship.
