It can only be said that Li Xiaoyuan is indeed Zheng Lanlan's biological mother. One is thinking about dealing with Yu Rujia after marrying Gao Shujing, and the other is thinking about dealing with Gao Shujing.

I really don't know where they got the confidence to think that Gao Shujing would definitely marry Zheng Lanlan.

The three daughters-in-law who were washing clothes in the yard saw Li Xiaoyuan lurking suspiciously in the corner, but they didn't expose her. They continued washing clothes while listening to the conversation inside.

Captain Huang and Zheng Daxiong couldn't see what was happening outside; the two continued talking.

Captain Huang: "Officer Gao doesn't agree to marry your Lanlan, and your wife has threatened to teach him a lesson. What, is it that the laws of the country can no longer govern your family?"

Zheng Daxiong then learned the reason why Captain Huang had come to his door: his stupid wife had done something foolish, which led Officer Gao to report to Captain Huang.

Zheng Daxiong said with a wry smile, "Captain, my wife is a bit impatient and doesn't know how to speak properly, but I assure you, she has absolutely no bad intentions and won't do anything to Officer Gao. Please forgive Lanlan this time."

"When my wife comes back, I will definitely teach her a lesson and make her go to Director Gao's house to apologize."

Captain Huang: "An apology is necessary, but your Lanlan needs to change her lazy nature. Our Shangfen Brigade can't have a bandit. Like I said, she'll start working this year."

After giving Zheng Daxiong a good scolding, Captain Huang was about to leave when he was startled by a scream: "My Lanlan isn't going to work! She's going to marry into the city, how can she do such rough work in the fields?"

Captain Huang's face darkened: "The new China emphasizes the unity between the military and the people. Do you look down on us country folk? This is a clear act of dragging the country down."

"If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for sending you to town for re-education."

Li Xiaoyuan: "No matter what you say, Lanlan is not going to work."

Captain Huang said angrily, "Let me tell you, if I don't see her when work starts this year, I'll apply to the higher-ups to have your whole family removed from Shangfen Brigade. I can't control your family here, but there are places that can."

Zheng Daxiong hurriedly pleaded, "Captain, don't be angry. Lanlan will definitely be there on the day we start work. I'll talk to them about it."

Li Xiaoyuan wanted to continue making a scene, but Zheng Daxiong pulled her back, and she reluctantly shut her mouth under his stern gaze.

Captain Huang: "I'll give you face. If you can't manage them either, then I'll send them to a place where they can be managed. Dawei's wife used to be such a shrew, but she's calmed down now."

"I refuse to believe that there are people in the Flower Kingdom who don't follow national policies."

Zheng Daxiong nodded and bowed, assuring them, "We can manage it, we can manage it, we will definitely follow the country's policies."

Captain Huang: "I'll be waiting for her to arrive on the sixth day of the new year when work resumes. As for Officer Gao, you don't need to bother him anymore. If anything happens to him in the future, I'll hold your family responsible."

During their conversation, Gao Guojing had already spread the word that Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing were dating through the four children. With the children's help, everyone in Shangfen Brigade would surely hear the news today.

Yu Rujia wasn't expecting this to scare off many people; she was just asserting her authority to make things easier later.

Having completed his mission, Gao Guojing returned home triumphantly with the little ones. His own brother had to ask him, the younger brother, for help with getting married; he could use this to tease his brother for the rest of his life.

Back home, Gao Shujing was cooking, and several dishes he had ordered were still on the table, making Gao Guojing even more satisfied.

Duofu asked Yu Rujia, who was serving the dishes, with a curious look, "Auntie, what does it mean to be in a relationship?"

Yu Rujia put down the dishes in her hand and calmly said, "It means that we can live with your uncle and his family from now on."

Duofu, with a round face, asked in confusion, "Haven't we always lived with Uncle?"

That's true. Ever since Gao Shujing moved here, Yu Rujia hasn't cooked a meal at her place. At most, she just boils water for bathing.

Seeing that Yu Rujia was stumped by the question, Gao Guojing chuckled and said, "Your aunt and uncle are dating, so you'll have a new little brother in the future. Do you like that?"

Duofu's face scrunched up in shock at these words. His current brothers were already difficult enough to take care of; if a new little brother came along, wouldn't he be even more exhausted? The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

Looking at the little guy's droopy face, Yu Rujia asked, "Duofu, what's wrong?"

Duofu stared at his fingers with a pained expression, wanting to ask Yu Rujia if he could not have a younger brother, but worried that she would think he didn't like his brother.

Seeing that the little guy was about to cry, Yu Rujia squatted down and asked, "Duofu, are you feeling unwell?"

After saying that, he touched the boy's head and found that his temperature was normal. He then took the boy's pulse and found that the boy was as strong as an ox.

Could it be that he was bullied outside? Looking at Gao Guojing, who was also squatting down in fear of Duofu, he thought, with Gao Guojing here, it shouldn't be like this.

Yu Rujia still asked, "Did someone bully Duofu?"

Gao Guojing affirmed, "I stayed with them the whole time when they first went out. They had a lot of fun, and no one bullied them."

Seeing that Yu Rujia and Gao Guojing were worried about him, Duofu thought for a moment and then whispered his thoughts: "Auntie, can we not have a new little brother?"

The two people who spoke so softly could barely hear each other.

Yu Rujia glared at the culprit and comforted him, "Don't worry, Duofu, there might not be a little brother. Even if there is, it will be a very long time, long enough for Duofu to go to school."

Duofu was a little happier when he heard that he would have a younger brother after he started school.

Seeing that his little face was no longer scrunched up, Yu Rujia took his little hand and asked, "Why doesn't Duofu like his little brother?"

Duofu glanced at her with his big eyes, and seeing that she didn't look unhappy, he explained the reason: "My little brother is disobedient, naughty, and mischievous."

As one of the younger brothers, Duoshou immediately defended himself, saying, "I listen to my older brother, help him with chores, and I'm not naughty. The ones who are disobedient and cause trouble are Duolu and Duoxi."

With a memory only slightly better than a fish's, and a topic unrelated to food or Duoshou, Duolu had long forgotten about his mischief and naturally wouldn't admit to the crime.

Duolu: "I was good, I didn't cause any trouble, I wasn't naughty, it was Duoxi who was disobedient."

Having been relieved of her burden, Duoxi blinked her big eyes. The little one, who understood a bit about right and wrong, refused to take the blame: "Darling, Auntie, darling."

Seeing Duoxi seeking affirmation, Yu Rujia patted his little body: "Okay, Duoxi, be a good boy and go play with your brothers."
