Xu Laosan's eyes were practically sparkling when he looked at Chen Laotai, and he was jumping around excitedly, but Xu Xinning was holding him back.

Since my great-uncle's family is still relatives, I can't be too obvious in gloating.

In fact, Xu Xinning was also very excited, feeling that she inexplicably saw the shadow of her mother from her previous life in this old lady Chen.

The Empress Dowager said that if we can fight, we must fight, and we must do so by surprise. If we find that we are outnumbered and outmatched, we must retreat quickly and not give the enemy a chance to counterattack.

As Grandma Chen retreated to the courtyard gate, she called out to Xu Xinning, "Nannan, let's go."

Xu Xinning didn't hesitate and immediately followed.

Xu Laosan quickly followed, with Mu Jingheng following behind.

Chen Jianguo had his eyes opened today. He had always thought that his grandmother was a nagging, troublesome old lady who was also weak and helpless. If you asked him why he thought that way, he would say that his perceptions were influenced by his own experiences as well as by what Wang Ying and his grandfather Yao Dahai had instilled in him.

Every time Old Lady Chen leaned over the wall to interfere in the Xu family's affairs, Wang Ying would always mutter softly, "She's up to her old tricks again."

As for Yao Dahai saying that Old Mrs. Chen was weak and helpless, it was because he felt that she had been pampered since childhood. Therefore, he tried his best to continue to pamper Old Mrs. Chen after marriage, otherwise he would feel guilty towards his parents-in-law who gave him a home.

Chen Jianguo suddenly felt that his grandmother was quite nice. He had heard what she said that night, and he had a feeling that his grandmother had suddenly turned into one of those students who gave speeches in a movie.

His grandmother was also a woman who was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and Chen Jianguo was very proud of her at this moment.

Seeing that Chen Jianguo was still standing there dumbfounded, Xu Laosan went back, pulled him up, and ran.

By the time the onlookers realized what was happening, Grandma Chen and her four companions had already run far away.

Mu Jingheng never expected that an old woman from the countryside would be so capable; she could fight like she was on the battlefield.

It was so exciting, but my luggage was a bit heavy.

Not long after the five people ran away, they heard the young grandmother's wailing and cursing from afar.

Xu Xinning guessed that Xu Mingyang was going to get into trouble again tonight.

Oh! Poor man, he's suffered so much. Maybe I should go and help him later.

After everyone had caught their breath, Xu Laosan gave Chen Laotai a thumbs up and said, "Auntie, you are really amazing. If you were on the battlefield, the enemy would definitely not be a match for you."

Wow! You've even used it. It seems that Old Mrs. Chen has really beaten Old Mr. Xu into submission tonight.

Old Master Chen waved his hand magnanimously and replied, "What's the big deal? Back when your grandfather and I were young, we were the bullies of this village. No one could beat us if we joined forces."

Xu Laosan: "Why haven't I heard my grandfather mention this? So, wouldn't you two be considered a pair of male and female demons?"

Grandma Chen's eyes widened. "What is this? It sounds awful! Have you ever heard of 'brothers united can move mountains'? Your great-uncle has always been a good-for-nothing. If we can't count on him, then we can count on me, right?"

So they were brothers? No wonder the annulment of the engagement didn't cause a ripple at all.

Xu Laosan: "My great-uncle is such a coward now, he actually talked about my mother. Just wait until tomorrow I don't need a slingshot to smash all their windows."

Chen Jianguo: "Boss, don't forget me too. They bullied my grandma today as well."

Grandma Chen slapped Chen Jianguo hard across the face and said, "Is your grandma someone who gets bullied?"

Chen Jianguo rubbed his head, which was still sore from the beating, and replied with a silly smile, "No, absolutely not, my grandma is really fierce."

Xu Xinning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Mu Jingheng was covered in sweat from exhaustion. How come these people didn't notice that he was carrying luggage in both hands?

And Xu Laosan was carrying a net bag in his hand, which contained toiletries and a thermos. He kept swinging it back and forth like that, wasn't he afraid of falling out?

Kids are just so unreliable.

She used to idolize him, but then she turned around and became a completely different person.

When they got home, Grandpa Xu and the others were still drinking and chatting. Wang Ying and Yang Chunqin were also sitting on the side chatting. It was quite cozy under the dim light.

Old Mrs. Chen didn't go into the Xu family's house; she went straight back to her own home, saying that only her husband was home and she didn't know if he had washed his feet before going to bed, so she had to go and supervise him.

As soon as Xu Laosan entered the house, he ran to the main room, shouting as he ran, "Grandpa, Grandpa, your brother's family is really out of line."

Grandpa Xu was stunned for a moment, and Yang Chunqin's slap was already aimed at Xu Laosan: "You have no manners, you're never upright, do you want to be beaten?"

Xu Laosan dodged left and right: "Mom, Mom, you're being so unreasonable! You hit me without even asking what happened, and I even defended you."

Hsu Yao-tsu: "Speak properly."

Xu Laosan immediately stood up straight, gave a proper salute, and loudly replied, "Yes, sir!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xu Laosan then vividly recounted what had happened at his great-uncle's house.

When Grandma Xu saw Mu Jingheng carrying luggage, she pulled Xu Xinning to help him, and then they went to Xu Zexi's room together.

Although Xu Zexi wasn't home, the room was cleaned every day, and clean bedding had been put on it. It seemed that when Xu Xinning and the others went out, Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin had already cleaned it again.

In addition to the bed and desk, Xu Zexi's room also has a wardrobe and a bookcase. The bookcase has a movable glass door, and inside are many military books that Xu Zexi likes, as well as a tank made from a bullet that he cherishes. The most conspicuous place on the wall is a portrait of a great man.

Grandma Xu: "Xiao Heng! Are you tired? If you are, go wash up and rest early. There is hot water on the stove. You can use that to wash up. The hot water for drinking is in the kettle. They will drink for a while. Don't worry about them."

Mu Jingheng: "Okay, Grandma, it is quite tiring. I've been on the train for several days and then on a long-distance bus for several hours. If I weren't in good health, I would have fallen apart long ago."

Grandma Xu: "That's right, going out is exhausting. Go wash up and soak your feet before going to sleep. You don't have to work tomorrow, so don't rush to get up. You have to go to work the day after tomorrow. You've never done farm work before, so you're going to be very tired."

Mu Jingheng: "Grandma, I understand. Don't worry, I won't skimp on myself. I knew farm work would be tiring when I came here, so I was prepared."

Grandma Xu smiled and said, "He's a sensible child. It's okay if he can't do it. Your aunt will arrange an easier job for him. We don't rely on work points for food. Just do what you can."

Mu Jingheng: "Grandma, how can you be so kind? You are my own grandma, no wonder I feel so close to you the moment I see you."

Xu Xinning rolled her eyes as she listened, and goosebumps rose on her skin again. This person could only be normal for a short while. She didn't know why her grandmother insisted on dragging her in with her.

Just as Xu Xinning was rubbing her arms, which were covered in goosebumps, she heard Mu Jingheng ask her, "Qingning, are you going to the commune with me tomorrow?"
