"Is it only through comparison that there is harm? Give me a chance, and I'll let him know that where I am, he can only be second," A Lei said arrogantly.

"My Zhou Yue has really become a princess." Zhou Xing's mother complained to Commander Zhou when she heard that Zhou Yue had to be taken upstairs for meals.

"There's nothing wrong with that. We've raised our daughter with such care and love, shouldn't we be happy that someone is spoiling her?" Commander Zhou was very open-minded. His words made Zhou Xing's mother laugh.

Worried that Qin Xiaoye was being mistreated at home, Qin Xiaoyu rushed to the workshop the next day and found her calmly operating the sewing machine.

"Were you alright last night?" Qin Xiaoyu asked apologetically.

"What could possibly happen? I just ran away from home, and I don't want to go back anyway," Qin Xiaoye said expressionlessly.

"That's true, I was wondering how he could be my father."

"You're so lucky, you know? I've been jealous of you since I was little," Qin Xiaoye suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked.

"Jealous of me? Why?" This surprised Qin Xiaoyu greatly.

"Do you know what they say about me, about my mother? My mother is a slut, someone who breaks up other people's families, and I am the daughter of a slut. You are his daughter, but at least you have a clean mother. I have nothing!" Tears streamed down Qin Xiaoye's face.

"So, that's what you've always thought." Qin Xiaoyu felt so sorry for her that she wanted to hug her right away.

This is the pain of one's family of origin, something one can never escape in their lifetime.

This was in the workshop, with people coming and going, making it very inconvenient. Some people had already noticed their unusual behavior.

"Director Qin, I will do my job well, thank you!" Qin Xiaoye suddenly said loudly.

Qin Xiaoyu knew that this meant she didn't want to acknowledge her, so she could only smile and turn away.

Although the incident has been perfectly resolved, Qin Xiaoyu has become more vigilant, especially with the children, who must always be accompanied by an adult when playing outside.

As soon as her car turned the corner, she heard a commotion in the yard, with shouts filling the air. She saw Commander Zhou and Hanhan's grandfather standing to one side, cheering them on, while A Lei was playing rugby with several children.

Ge Lao Sao's two children have become familiar with Hanhan and the others. Ge Xiao Er is receiving treatment and cannot come out, while Ge Da has long been integrated into the group.

The children didn't have protective suits, so they were all dressed extra thickly, especially the little girl, who was wrapped up from head to toe like a ball.

Hanhan grabbed the ball and turned to run towards the opponent's goal, with three children chasing closely behind. The younger sister came from the side, but Xiaojin was faster. She slid across the snow with a sliding tackle and knocked Hanhan flying.

When Hanhan fell, she landed right on top of her younger sister.

Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly went over to check. Her younger sister and Hanhan had already gotten up and were brushing the snow off each other. A Lei also ran over with a ball in his arms.

"Rugby is too barbaric," Qin Xiaoyu protested, after all, she was her own mother.

“Savagery can also make people tough. Children need some backbone too. Look at you, you’ve raised them like delicate flowers in a greenhouse. Can you protect them from the wind and rain for the rest of their lives?” A Lei said bluntly, leaving Qin Xiaoyu speechless.

Commander Zhou was clearly on A Lei's side, and blew the whistle to start again.

Fearing that the little tigers might bump into her, Qin Xiaoyu quickly ran out of the area and stood next to Commander Zhou.

“We’ll get a lawn ready in the spring and make a sports field for the children. A Lei did the right thing.” Commander Zhou gave A Lei a shout-out.

"Big Brother, when did you become his woman?" Qin Xiaoyu was a little jealous. From my daughter being the perfect match to A Lei being the perfect match, it seems like it was just one step.

“Daughter, we have to side with the right person, right? What he did was right. A lot of his methods for educating children are Western, and I think we can use them too, a combination of Chinese and Western approaches.” I didn’t expect Commander Zhou to be so receptive to new ideas.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Qin Xiaoyu said, pouting.

"We'll do whatever you say. When are you getting married?" Commander Zhou, under the influence of A Lei's spell, was urging him to get married.

Qin Xiaoyu fled in panic.

She first went to Building No. 4 to check in, and saw Sister-in-law Ge and Xiao Er sitting by the window watching the battle.

Ge Xiao'er was still a child, and seeing other children playing outside made his eyes water with envy. Ge's sister-in-law, who couldn't stay still, was knitting a sweater with the cotton thread that Zhou Xing's mother had put down.

"Xiao Er, don't rush, you can play with them once your foot is healed," Qin Xiaoyu comforted him.

"Sister-in-law, put it down quickly, let me do it, let me do it!" Zhou Xing's mother came over with a fruit plate and, seeing this, quickly snatched the needle and thread from Ge Da's sister-in-law's hand.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?" Qin Xiaoyu winked at Zhou Xing's mother and called her to the side of the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xing's mother was quite clever.

"Mom, don't stop Sister-in-law Ge from doing any work. If you want her to stay longer and feel at ease, don't treat her like a guest." Qin Xiaoyu pointed it out, and Zhou Xing's mother understood immediately.

The phone suddenly rang, and Qin Xiaoyu ran over to answer it.

"Huh? It's working now? It's been taking up half the line." Zhou Xing's mother muttered.

"Little Fish, come to my room for a bit, and bring Songzi with you." It was Zhou Yue.

"Old Ding is dead." Zhou Yue had a quick temper and would always say something shocking whenever she saw Qin Xiaoyu.

"Old Ding? Dead?" Qin Xiaoyu paused for a moment before realizing what she meant.

The gang leader who led the disturbance that day is dead.

Not only did he die, but he also died unjustly.

He brought this upon himself.

That day, he was shot in the knee by A Lei, arrested, and detained overnight. When he was released on bail, he had been in pain all night, which was something he could still endure.

He was taken to the hospital by his men, where doctors rushed to perform surgery to remove the bullet. Up to this point, everything seemed normal, but after the surgery, while he was receiving an IV drip, the situation took a dramatic turn.

He vaguely heard his subordinates arguing with the nurses, saying they wouldn't give him any good medicine.

Old Ding had been bullied all night and was on the verge of going crazy. Now that he heard even a young nurse was bullying him, he couldn't stand it anymore.

His eyes widened, and he roared, "If you don't give her the right medicine, kill her!"

The young nurse, who had been sticking to her principles, burst into tears upon seeing this.

"If the doctor won't give you a prescription, what am I supposed to give you to use?"

Within five minutes, the female doctor, trembling like a leaf, was dragged to the bedside and, shaking, prescribed the best medicine: penicillin.

Just half an hour ago, she confidently declared, "Allergic reaction! I can't order it!"

Now she's so scared she's forgotten everything.

The medicine was administered, and within five minutes, Old Ding was in critical condition. His men initially urged him to continue the rescue, but once they realized he was truly dying, they scattered and fled.

When the hospital tried to find someone to collect the body, they discovered that no one was willing to come to the side.

He was a complete scumbag with no family, and he brought this upon himself. In the end, he died a truly foolish death.

"One less potential problem." Qin Xiaoyu had sensed something was amiss in A Lei's words last time and was worried that he would cause trouble, but now the trouble was gone.

"I didn't realize your son, Lei, was so capable," Zhou Yue remarked.
