"Come in quickly, what are you standing there like an idiot at the door for?" Marshal Li wondered why the two children hadn't returned yet.

He had just arrived at the door when he saw the two kids standing there, looking at each other and laughing stupidly. He shook his head with amusement.

It's so good to be young!

"How was work today?" As soon as the two sat down, Marshal Li and Qi Feng looked over.

“I’m doing fine over there. Everyone saw me getting into the car this morning, and they’re all guessing what my family does.”

"I've already spoken with the minister and we don't want to reveal our identities for now. We've just said that my father works for the Ministry of National Defense, and we'll let them guess the rest."

“Those people in the Reform Department all come from families with some status, and they’re all shrewd and capable. Even if they have some bad qualities, they wouldn’t dare to do it openly for the sake of their reputation. Grandpa, Dad, don’t worry, I can handle it.”

Suti knew what they were worried about, explained his situation, and then they all looked at Wei Baichuan.

"I'm doing alright there too. The Ministry of Transport is probably a hot commodity, and since Director Chen personally took me in, everyone guesses I'm a relative of Director Chen."

“Even if they have some ideas in their minds, they wouldn’t dare to offend me, so don’t worry.” Wei Baichuan saw that everyone was looking at him, and although he wasn’t good with words, he thought for a moment and still said a few words.

There are many things he wants to say to his wife alone.

"That's good. I knew you two would be fine." Marshal Li was relieved and calmly drank from the teacup on the table.

Qi Feng glanced at his father, wondering who had called him in the middle of the day, asking him to inquire about the situation.

I asked him to pick him up early in the afternoon. When we got home, I paced back and forth waiting, worried that the two of them, being new to Beijing, might be taken advantage of and not understand anything.

Qi Feng wasn't worried at all. As long as Director Chen of the Transportation Department wasn't stupid, he wouldn't make things difficult for Bai Chuan.

He could tolerate even Qi Bowen, the minister of the Reform Department, so he would only be happy if Su Yatou didn't cause any trouble.

Not to mention he wouldn't let her suffer any injustice; he's very shrewd.

"The food is ready, time to eat." Marshal Li wanted to say something more to the two of them, but Grandma Kang from the kitchen brought out the dishes and called out to them.

"Let's go eat first." Marshal Li thought that the food in the canteen was definitely not as good as home-cooked meals, and the two children must be hungry by now.

Grandma Kang glanced at the two people sitting there waiting for her to serve them rice, clenched her fists so tightly that half of her nails broke off before she calmed down.

She remembered what her granddaughter had said: to be tolerant, because the more she yielded, the more justified the granddaughter would be if she made a scene later.

No matter what, she is an elder, and everyone will see everything she does. In time, everyone will know how they have been suppressing her.

The old marshal will see how hard she has worked, and then it will be her time to take charge.

They've just recognized it, so it's a rare and precious time for them.

Given enough time, she was convinced that people wouldn't see through the true nature of these two people.

If she said a few nice things then, would she be afraid of losing control of them? Even though she thought about it again and again, she still felt aggrieved seeing their matter-of-fact attitude.

Did they really treat her like a nanny? She glanced at the old marshal, but he acted as if he didn't see her at all, his eyes and heart completely focused on the two men.

They kept asking if they were hungry or if they had suffered any grievances at work.

"These dishes are all Su's favorites today. You're pregnant, so you should eat more."

Eat as much as you want, preferably get fat, so that you won't be able to give birth in the end, resulting in the death of both mother and child, so that her granddaughter can have a place to live.

Grandma Kang had been a nurse for so many years. She might not know much about medical skills for saving lives, but she was very good at things like recuperating.

She knew perfectly well what kind of people couldn't eat and what kind of people could eat.

The table was full of meat dishes, as well as many sweet ones, and the soups and broths were all highly nutritious.

"Grandma Kang, you've worked hard." Su Ti raised her eyebrows. She had almost forgotten about Grandma Kang, who had been like an invisible person for the past few days.

After the last incident, the old marshal sent her to her son's house to recuperate. When she returned, she was like a mute.

Looking at the person who suddenly smiled kindly at her, she felt incredibly awkward.

"It's no trouble at all, it's only right that I serve you." Although Old Madam Kang said this to Su Ti, her gaze was fixed on the old marshal.

She used the word "serve" to let the old marshal know her grievances, and sure enough, the old marshal frowned after she finished speaking.

"Don't say such unpleasant things like 'serving' or 'taking care of.' Don't say such things again. There are people to do the housework. If you're not happy here, you can go back to your son's house."

Marshal Li thought back to when Qi Bowen was around, she couldn't wait to feed him, so why is she now finding fault with both of the children?

If things really don't work out, he thinks he should just get a divorce. He's almost a great-grandson, and it's really uncomfortable to have outsiders in the house.

Marshal Li's words stunned Grandma Kang. She sat there, feeling as if her buttocks were nailed to the ground.

"I'll go get the rice." She was really afraid that the old marshal would send her back again, since there wasn't even a separate room in her son's family compound.

When she got back, she set up a bed in the living room. After sleeping on it for a few days, she felt like her back was about to break. Everything in the family compound was shared.

They could fight even when they went to the toilet in the morning; she couldn't get used to staying there for a whole day.

"Why are these dishes so sweet? They're cloyingly sweet." Qi Feng frowned after taking a bite.

Although he was from Jiangxi Province, the places where he served in the army were mostly northern men. He was used to eating salty and spicy food, but he couldn't stand sweet food.

"What's going on with today's dishes?" Marshal Li looked at Grandma Kang, who was bringing out the food. She was the one who prepared all the meals at home.

"I was just thinking that young people tend to prefer sweet flavors, and since Su is pregnant, I noticed she hasn't been eating much the past few days, so I was thinking of changing things up. Maybe I should cook them separately from now on?"

Grandma Kang pretended to be very timid, but if she were younger, she would have been quite pretty, and her act could have aroused other people's protective instincts.

But she's so old, and the way she looked gave me goosebumps.

"I don't like sweets, and I should be even more careful about my diet while I'm pregnant. I should eat smaller, more frequent meals, and I should definitely limit my intake of sweets."

"Eating too much sweet food makes you gain weight easily, and if the fetus grows too big, it will be difficult to give birth. I heard that Grandma Kang used to be a nurse, so she should know this, right?"

Although Suti is from Shanghai, where the food is sweeter, she really can't stand sweet things.

Moreover, she always felt that this old hag had ill intentions. Considering that she was the one who arranged all the meals at home, if she wanted to do something to harm her, it would be impossible to guard against.

"I...I didn't think that much about it. Besides, you should eat less in the later stages of pregnancy, and you should be nourishing yourself right now."

Grandma Kang was startled by Su Ti's words and quickly explained.
