The couple ate a meal that was neither too early nor too late. Yao Yanxin was about to clear the dishes when Ruan Shengpeng insisted on doing it for her, saying, "From now on, when I'm home, you won't have to do any chores!"

If her husband is willing to help with chores, Yao Yanxin won't be foolish enough to refuse. Her father used to eagerly help her mother with chores in the past, and her mother had told her about it back then.

“In the future, when your husband helps you with chores, you can’t be silly and say you don’t need it, but you also can’t just sit there without a care in the world. You can stay by his side, talk to him, and hand him things!”

Yao Yanxin was standing next to Ruan Shengpeng, talking to him: "Don't you have to go to work today?"

“I’m taking a day off today to spend with you!” Ruan Shengpeng deliberately drew out the word “spend with you,” instantly creating an ambiguous atmosphere. Yao Yanxin glared at him.

"Tongtong gave me some medicine, the hemostatic agent. Shall we start now?"

"Put your things here first. The person who was in charge of this area before got involved and is no longer in their position. I'll talk to them in a meeting, and you can take over from now on, okay?"

This land was originally given to this military region by Chen Zhizhi so that military wives could have jobs. His own place was too far away, and it wouldn't be cost-effective to transport the raw materials there.

However, the military region's high-ranking officials, in pursuit of profits, did not disclose this information to the military region. This is why when Yao Tongjia came to him to fulfill the contract, no one responded.

These high-ranking officials really didn't care about the soldiers. Apart from giving a portion of the products to Chen Zhizhi's army according to the contract, they sold the rest to others at high prices.

Ruan Shengpeng only learned about this when a small amount of the medicine leaked out, but the military region's high command was incredibly audacious, daring to sell the medicine abroad.

This is why the higher-ups took down this high-ranking officer in the military region. What good are high-ranking officers who don't even cherish their own soldiers? They're all parasites!

After washing the dishes, Ruan Shengpeng said, "Let's go out for a walk. I'll tell you about the military region. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be living here until I retire!"

As soon as the two walked out of the courtyard, Xue Jing, who had been watching them, knew what was going on. She cursed inwardly: "You vixen, you actually tied a man to your waist. Don't men need to work?"

Ruan Shengpeng opened the door, and then Yao Yanxin came out. Ruan Shengpeng turned around and closed the door. Yao Yanxin just stood there gracefully, smiling slightly at Ruan Shengpeng.

This made Xue Jing so jealous she almost vomited blood. She had been married to Tang Chong for so many years, and Tang Chong never helped her open or close doors. Even when she was about to give birth, she had to reach out and open or close the doors for him.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy. If Ruan Shengpeng were my son-in-law, my daughter would be the one who would be happy. It's all that vixen's fault!

Xue Jing gritted her teeth, just as her daughter walked over: "Mom, what are you looking at?"

Tangyuan also came over and looked outside. She happened to see the tenderness on Ruan Shengpeng's face. Her heart skipped a beat, as if this tenderness was meant for her.

She blushed immediately: "Mom, look, he knows I'm here watching him, and he's smiling at me so gently!"

Xue Jing's face stiffened. She really wanted to tell her daughter: Daughter, he was smiling at his own daughter-in-law!

But for the past twenty years, she has always indulged her daughter's every whim, and she really can't bear to contradict her.

You could only nod: "Yes! He was smiling at you!"

Tangyuan immediately opened the door: "Mom, I'm going to find him and tell him to come and propose marriage as soon as possible!"

After Tangyuan finished speaking, she ran out quickly without waiting for her mother's reaction. Xue Jing was stunned for a moment before she remembered to stop her daughter. But how come her daughter, who usually walks so slowly, suddenly ran so far away?

Xue Jing hurriedly chased after them, just as Ruan Shengpeng led Yao Yanxin to the family compound and was introducing her to others: "This is my wife. She just arrived and isn't familiar with this place yet. Please take good care of her, ladies!"

The military spouses quickly responded, "Don't worry, Commander, we will definitely take care of you. You can go to work without worry!"

This made everyone laugh. Everyone knew that Ruan Shengpeng had brought people over yesterday, and now it's almost noon, and Ruan Shengpeng is still here.

Everyone was an adult and knew why, so they started making tactful jokes. Just then, a voice rang out: "Commander, when are you coming to my house to propose marriage?"

These words immediately silenced the surroundings. Was this person out of their mind? He had already brought his wife over, and they were enjoying a sweet moment together. What was she doing here causing trouble?

Xue Jing arrived breathless and overheard her daughter's words. She immediately felt a chill run down her spine and rushed forward to pull Tangyuan away, saying, "Let's go home! Let's go home!"

Tangyuan had always lived a carefree life, but her mother's sudden change of heart made her angry: "You're the one who took me to see him, saying that as long as I was satisfied with my teacher, he would come to propose marriage. Why are you trying to drag me away now?"

Seeing so many people around, Xue Jing felt embarrassed: "Let's talk about it when we get home, let's talk about it when we get home!"

But Tangyuan wasn't about to be fooled by her mother: "No, no! You're the one who took me to see him. Now that I've taken a liking to him, you have to let him go and propose, or I'll never forgive you!"

Upon hearing what the mother and daughter said, Ruan Shengpeng immediately waved his hand at Yao Yanxin, saying, "I've been dealing with military affairs all along, and I had no idea she existed!"

"Yan Yan, you have to believe me!" Ruan Shengpeng's desperate attempt to survive immediately made the surrounding military wives laugh. One of the older military wives testified:

"My husband, Lao Xu, can testify to this. He came back and said that the division commander was exploiting them every day, saying that he would take care of things and then come to pick up your child!"

"By the way, where's the child?"

Yao Yanxin patted Ruan Shengpeng on the shoulder and replied to the military wife, "Sister Xu, right? My two children will graduate from high school in two months, and they said they would come after they graduated!"

Mrs. Xu exclaimed in surprise, "You look so young! Both your children graduated from high school? Two of them! How old were you when you had them?"

Many people looked at Ruan Shengpeng with their faces practically screaming, "You're an old cow eating young grass!"

Yao Yanxin was overjoyed: "Sheng Peng and I aren't that far apart in age; I'm almost forty this year!"

"What? You're almost forty? You look like you're in your twenties! How do you maintain your youthful appearance? You have to tell us!"

The military wives all gathered around, wanting to learn from Yao Yanxin's experience. No one paid any attention to Xue Jing and Tang Yuan, which was actually giving them a way out.

After all, Tang Chong is the deputy division commander, and we can't let him hold a grudge!

However, Tangyuan herself was looking for trouble. When she heard Yao Yanxin say that she was almost forty years old, she immediately felt superior because of her age: "You old woman, how dare you stay by the teacher's side? You should step down and make way for the elder!"

As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell into dead silence. This person was truly beyond saving!
