At first, he treated his older sisters the same as before, but with Aunt Ma gone, who in the family paid him any attention...

So, Ma Weiguo's defenses were breached.

After breaking down, she started punching and kicking her older sisters, but before she could even throw a punch, she was beaten up by her four older sisters.

He behaved himself after that.

At the same time, I understood something.

Without his mother, he felt like he meant nothing.

Moreover, it seems that as long as he doesn't do anything excessive, his older sisters will play with him, teach him to do his homework, and cook delicious food for him.

Even the villagers' attitude towards him improved.

In a daze, Ma Weiguo was gradually transformed from a number one dangerous individual spoiled by his aunt into a little boy who would do whatever his older sister asked him to do.

He himself didn't know when it started, but he became completely obedient to each of his older sisters.

Perhaps it's because if he misbehaves, he'll get a spanking from the old man next door!

After being detained for a period of time and then released, Aunt Ma discovered that her entire family seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

She served food to Ma Weiguo, who obediently said, "Mom, let the older sisters eat first. They are studying and working, and they need to nourish their bodies more than I do."

After not seeing him for a while, Ma Weiguo, who used to be overweight and chubby, has lost weight. His once-crowded features have become more delicate and handsome. Perhaps because he has lost some of his fierceness, he appears quite well-behaved.

Aunt Ma was taken aback at first, then immediately suspected that these wretches had abused Ma Weiguo, and wanted to angrily teach the girls a lesson, but who knew...

Just like Ma Weiguo at the beginning, as soon as he reached out his hand, he was pushed to the ground by the four sisters.

"You've gone too far!"

Aunt Ma was furious.

She got up from the ground, but it seemed she had been starving for too many days, and once she fell down, she couldn't stand up on her own!

She quickly called out to Ma Weiguo, "Child, Weiguo, come help your mother."

Ma Weiguo stood behind his older sisters, staring intently at his aunt: "Mother, just get up yourself. I... I can't help you. I'll listen to my sisters."

Aunt Ma almost fainted from anger.

She felt her whole body trembling when her son, whom she had doted on since childhood, didn't stand by her side!

The three children, Xiao Er, Xiao San, and Xiao Si, didn't care at all and showed no intention of helping Aunt Ma as they carried their rice bowls into the house.

Throughout the entire process, Ma Weiguo followed behind his older sisters, never even glancing at his aunt.

A large crowd gathered around.

Not a single person helped Grandma Ma up from the ground.

There was nothing she could do; it was all because Aunt Ma had such a bad reputation in the village over the years!

They are notorious for their preference for sons over daughters!

Being blunt with one's words has offended many people.

Everyone came to watch the spectacle, and some even thought that Aunt Ma deserved it.

They don't love the girls, but love the boys. Now they've offended both sides and ended up with nothing!

Aunt Ma now hates Ma Yingchun to the core. It's all the eldest daughter's fault for using a fake bankbook, which not only caused her to be arrested for nothing, but also left her isolated and abandoned by everyone!

She collapsed to the ground and cursed Ma Yingchun ten thousand times.

Thinking about that letter I sent made me feel a little better.

I wonder if her eldest daughter will be able to send over the real bankbook.

Did you abort the child?

If she doesn't abort, she can use the child to threaten her eldest son-in-law!

Everyone knows these two have a great relationship.

She lay on the ground, exposed to the cold wind all night. The three sisters and Ma Weiguo seemed to have truly forgotten about her, leaving her to freeze outside.

In fact, Ma Weiguo wanted to go out and see the world, but as soon as he thought that if he did that, his sister would no longer teach him, feed him, or teach him how to be a person, he gave up the impulse.

Grandma Ma fell ill and never recovered.

Ma Yingchun, who was in the Xinjiang Military Region, was unaware of these things. Under Wei Deyao's persuasion, she gradually began to hesitate.

After all, this is Wei Deyao's money.

Yes, what will happen to her child if she takes this money?

Will they starve to death?

Perhaps because she was several months pregnant and had developed feelings for the child, Ma Yingchun began to make plans for the baby.

Wei Deyao also brainwashed her every day, and eventually Ma Yingchun stopped mentioning the matter.

I can rest and recuperate at home.

Su Miaoyan went to the backyard and picked some of the fruits and vegetables cultivated with the spiritual spring water, giving them to Ma Yingchun to take.

Ma Yingchun was amazed to see so many fresh fruits and vegetables.

"Su, Su sister, you, you're giving all of this to me?"

Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "Yes, I can't finish it all by myself anyway. Sister-in-law, you're pregnant, so you need to nourish your body. These are good for you. Don't be shy with me. We've known each other for a while now, so please accept them."

Ma Yingchun tried to refuse, but Su Miaoyan simply left it at her doorstep. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ma Yingchun finally accepted it.

"Well, thank you so much, girl."

"Don't be so polite with me, we're like family."

Ma Yingchun herself never expected things to turn from initial disdain to current closeness.

She smiled and said, "Sister, when my baby is born and turns one month old, I'll invite you first!"

"By the way, I heard from my Deyao that Commander Lu is about to be promoted and go to Yanjing, which is the capital city. Congratulations, girl!"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened again: "It's just that we can't see each other often anymore. If I could, I really want to be your neighbor for the rest of my life!"

Su Miaoyan was slightly taken aback: "Sister-in-law, how come I didn't know about this news?"

Ma Yingchun was stunned: "Girl, you don't know?"

Su Miaoyan nodded: "Hmm, I don't know."

Ma Yingchun realized she had let something slip, but since it concerned Lu Ting, she simply stopped hiding it and blurted out everything she had heard.

"Here's the thing, I heard from Deyao that Commander Lu made a great contribution during a mission and the higher-ups want to promote him, but it hasn't been decided yet who he'll be transferred to. I thought about it, and Commander Lu didn't tell you, maybe because it's still uncertain and he wants to tell you when it's confirmed."

Su Miaoyan understood.

If it were true to Lu Ting's personality, he would definitely wait until things were completely confirmed before telling her.

Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand."

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Ma Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't misunderstand. Commander Lu definitely wouldn't hide it from you; it's just that the time wasn't right yet, so he didn't tell you."

Su Miaoyan teased Ma Yingchun, "Sister-in-law, you know Lu Ting so well."

Ma Yingchun was taken aback, and her eyes reddened slightly. With her pregnant belly protruding, she walked up to Su Miaoyan.

He gently hugged her: "Little sister, I'm really going to miss you. I really hope you can come back to the military region for your one-month celebration. If that's not possible, I'll send you your things!"
