"They only have those low-level tricks left. They're probably desperate because they know about our relationship with the Li family."

"Now they're even using people like Su Lao Er, they're really desperate."

"I don't know what to say about that family. Don't they think about what would happen to them if something really happened to your father?"

"You know, for a family like that, it's incredible that your father is such a wonderful son. Heaven must be blind to have bestowed such a blessing upon them."

Guo Xuqing has looked down on the Su family for years; the older generation is unfair, and the younger ones only know how to rely on her man.

They even put on an ugly act of being good brothers who should help each other; the next generation is even worse.

Even though Su Nianyou has gotten her comeuppance for scheming against her, she will never forgive her.

It's because her daughter is clever; if her daughter were honest, who knows what she would have schemed against her.

If something happens to her daughter, it will be her whole family who suffers. To pity them is to be cruel to yourself.

Not to mention Su Xiaobao, who was pampered by the Su family and raised with utmost care, she considered him a waste.

She just couldn't understand it. Her husband resembled someone else, and there wasn't a single person in that family who was presentable.

"Of course, people like my dad are rare. It's a blessing for them to be born into their family, but they clearly don't cherish it."

Suti also agreed with her mother's words as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which made Suti's father, who was originally in a complicated mood, both laugh and cry.

Looking at his wife and daughter, he could no longer care about being sad; those people were not worth his pain.

In life, you have to give up something to gain something. He didn't have good parents, but he had his wife's family and the two good children she gave him.

Grandma Guo, watching Su's father beam with joy, secretly shook her head.

She's now realized who her daughter took after; the two are exactly alike. When protecting their men, they shower each other with sweet, irresistible words, all while maintaining a completely sincere expression.

Li Baichuan only came downstairs with his two children in his arms after seeing the laughter and chatter returning downstairs.

Seeing that he was carrying one child on each side, Grandma Guo quickly went over and took one of them off.

Seeing Chaochao and Hehe, the family's worries vanished, and only laughter filled the dinner table.

Plus, the border town was always having a good time, so everyone was reluctant to go to work after breakfast.

After everyone in the family had left, Suti told her grandmother that she wanted to go for a walk.

Grandma Guo thought they were going for a stroll, so she took the children and said, "Go play, I'll watch the two of them. I'll take them to chat with some of my old friends later."

"Don't worry, play a little longer. I'll bring the housekeeper with me." Grandma Guo was worried they would come back too early.

Suti knew her grandmother was going out to show off, so she played along by saying she would be back late.

Li Baichuan didn't ask what happened; his wife would tell him when no one was around.

The people in the border town had excellent memories; even if they just peeked out, they could see the people downstairs.

He recalled that those people had caused trouble when his brother Chuan came to pick up the bride, and he had even hired someone to beat them up back then.

Could it be that they discovered what they did, knew they were here, and came looking for trouble?

However, seeing that his sister-in-law and Brother Chuan didn't seem to care, he kept quiet and didn't ask any questions.

Thinking that I'll find a reliable person to beat them up again, they still dare to complain, they're really something.

"Brother Chuan, Sister-in-law, where are we going?" After walking for a while, Biancheng finally remembered to ask.

"Let's go somewhere you don't know about." Suti looked at the two of them with a mysterious expression.

Li Baichuan followed along indifferently, and Biancheng had no objections either; wherever Brother Chuan went, he would go too.

Suti took them to the racecourse in Shanghai.

The name "racecourse" was given by the old Shanghainese. Although it's called "racecourse," there are no horses here; it's just a place where all sorts of people gather.

When she was a child, she often went there with her brother. It should be said that no one in Shanghai doesn't know this place.

Go there to inquire about information; there's nothing about Shanghai that you won't know there.

"It's good." Su mentioned that the relaxed atmosphere here was different from that of Li Baichuan and the others; one could tell the difference just by speaking.

It's not just the accent, but also the unique flavor of Shanghai.

"Who is the little girl looking for?" A number of people were gathered at the door, but they only glanced at them without showing any curiosity.

"I'll find Brother Lou." Suti thought of a few people, but felt it would be more appropriate to find someone her brother knew.

None of the people she used to know seem reliable now; they were just playing with her.

"Go in." The man glanced at her, probably finding her a stranger, but he only asked the question out of curiosity, since no one was in charge here.

Li Baichuan and Biancheng followed behind Su Ti, looking around with great curiosity.

The people gathered here are really quite unique. There are those who look quite old, sitting there holding newspapers and drinking tea.

Several children were playing with something that looked like a spinning top, and some young people were arm wrestling.

There's nothing you can't imagine that's not here. It's free and unrestrained, much like the People's Park in Beijing.

Li Baichuan and Biancheng initially thought they were going to the black market, so they carefully observed the surroundings along the way.

There were indeed many people here, but it wasn't secluded at all, and you couldn't see any transactions taking place.

Even if they carried a basket on their backs, the women would take things out from it from time to time to sew shoe soles.

More often, they carried a delicate little basket filled with snacks like melon seeds and peanuts.

Li Baichuan and Biancheng exchanged a glance, tacitly refraining from asking any questions, and watched as Su Ti led them through a maze of twists and turns.

"Let's go in." Suti looked at the place in front of her, a place that reminded her of her memories, and felt a deep sense of nostalgia.

She pushed open the half-closed door, revealing another world inside, where the laughing and joking people all looked over.

"Little Suti? Am I right? What brings you here?" A bald man inside stood up and circled around Suti.

She asked in surprise, her voice filled with disbelief.

“Brother Trumpet.” Suti recognized him at a glance. Looking at the people following behind him, she realized that before her brother joined the army, these people had always followed him around.

"Why are you here? Aren't you in Beijing?" The man called "Bell Brother" welcomed them in, pulled over a bench, wiped it, and offered it to them.

Suti looked at them and realized they were still the same as when they were children; whenever she was around, they were all very careful around her.

"Hey, you sit down too. I'm all grown up now. Do you still think of me as that crying little kid?"

Suti thought of her childhood, when no matter what they played, they had to make sure she was taken care of first. Whenever she threw a tantrum, they would all rack their brains to coax her.
