"The division commander must have been aware of the situation, forcing them to land in the Jinshi Military Region. They found the bomb but didn't have time to defuse it, so they just threw it out and it exploded! Everyone is definitely alright, otherwise the higher-ups would have already reported it!"

Xiao Gengwu calmed down and quickly picked up the newspaper to read it twice. Sure enough, it only said it was a military exercise and there were no casualties! That's great! Xiao Gengwu thought to himself!

Ever since that dream, Yao Tongjia has been plagued by nightmares. She doesn't want to tell anyone, and she quickly became haggard.

Ruan Shengpeng thought it was because she was not used to the local environment: "Should we find a doctor and get some medicine for her?"

Yao Tongjia shook her head: "I'm fine. I can make my own medicine. Have you forgotten?"

Speaking of making medicine, Ruan Shengpeng thought of his grandfather: "I went to see him yesterday. He misses you all and wants you to visit him. Is that alright?"

"You agreed?"

"No, no, it definitely needs your permission first!"

Hearing this, Yao Tongjia was finally satisfied: "Go ask your mother. We were too young before and have no memory of it. Your mother was there, so she will care more!"

Just then, Yao Yanxin came in from outside: "What do you want to ask me?"

Ruan Shengpeng asked in a somewhat ingratiating tone, "Why don't you go to Sister Xiang's house next door?"

Yao Yanxin smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that Sister Xiang was also a sample garment maker in a textile factory. The styles of clothes now are different from before!"

As she spoke, Yao Yanxin became somewhat disappointed. She genuinely loved designing clothes, which is why she went to work in the textile factory, but she had been away from that industry for over a decade.

Even if she were given a job now, she probably wouldn't be able to do it well, right? Times are changing, but she's been abandoned by them!

Seeing the disappointment in Yao Yanxin's eyes, Ruan Shengpeng felt a little guilty: "Do you like working in the textile factory?"

Yao Yanxin shook her head: "I liked it in the past, but not anymore. I've designed some clothes for you guys. Could you go and bring me the sewing machine?"

"I've already spoken to Sister Xiang, she can lend me her things for a few days!"

Ruan Shengpeng hesitated for a moment: "I'll ask the old man to help me put away our sewing machine, or should we go and move the sewing machine over here?"

Yao Yanxin was surprised: "Your sister is useless?"

Everything in the house must have been used up, so why would that person leave it unused?

"When I left Beijing, I kicked them out of our courtyard, and she didn't take anything that belonged to us!"

"Shouldn't we go back? It's just a few clothes; there's no need to make such a fuss!"

"My dad... said he wants to see you? Can I go?" Ruan Shengpeng asked hesitantly.

Yao Yanxin's heart clenched as she recalled the day she went to the old man's courtyard for help but was arrested: "Where's your mother?"

“My mother was sent to our old home in the suburbs. This time, only my grandfather and Uncle Hai were there!”

Yao Yanxin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go!" She couldn't keep avoiding seeing those people; this time, with someone accompanying her, she would face them!

When Ruan Shengpeng saw Yao Yanxin agree, his wrinkles deepened with joy: "That's great! Thank you, Yanyan!"

The next morning, after the family finished breakfast, they borrowed a jeep and drove directly to the nursing home. Ever since his fourth son came to visit him, Grandpa Ruan had been living there.

My mood has improved a lot, and I feel more energetic. That's why I was strolling around the door early this morning, hoping to see Si'er's family come over!

When he looked up this time, who did he see? He saw his wife and Ruan Shengzhi's whole family. Old Master Ruan's face darkened: "Ahai, go and ask them. Didn't we say not to let them in? How come they're all here?"

Ah Hai was there yesterday and knew that Ruan Shengpeng might bring his wife and children today. What is this family doing here?

If Ruan Shengpeng thought the old man did it on purpose, that would be troublesome. He quickly ran over to stop them: "The old man said he doesn't want to see you, you should leave now!"

"He is my husband, why can't I see him? Why can't I retire here? Is he keeping a vixen?"

Old Mrs. Ruan used to be such a proud person, but now she actually threw a tantrum on the spot, leaving Ah Hai dumbfounded and not knowing what to do.

The people arrived in front of the old man, who was afraid that Si'er would bring his men over, so he waved his hands repeatedly: "Go away, go away quickly!"

Old Mrs. Ruan had no intention of leaving once she arrived. She plopped down and said, "That matter happened so long ago, why are you still holding a grudge? If you continue like this, I'll sue you!"

"You're suing me?" Old Master Ruan asked incredulously. "You're the one who drugged me, and I haven't even sued you yet. You're suing me?"

"Who said I drugged you? Do you have any proof? I don't admit it!!" After her daughter's analysis, Old Mrs. Ruan knew that Old Mr. Ruan dared not let outsiders know.

If the mother commits a crime, it will affect all her children. He can't bear to see his children make a mistake, so why would he need to suffer in the countryside?

Seeing the old man's surprised expression, she suddenly felt much less upset. Sure enough, her daughter cared for her more than her sons, none of whom ever came to visit her!

Ruan Shengzhi sat down with her two children behind her, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating. Since her fourth brother stopped giving her subsidies, she had lost her former carefree attitude.

There are absolutely no snacks or fruits available, and she hasn't bought a single new set of clothes. Every day, she does all the housework for the whole family and still gets complained about. It's so tough for her!

Just then, Grandpa Ruan heard the sound of the car engine turning off. His heart skipped a beat, and he rushed to the door, where he was greeted by Ruan Shengpeng's smiling face. The old man hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Fourth Brother, how can you still be with someone who's cheating on you? You'd even take a piece of trash like her? You have no taste at all! I'll introduce you to someone better!"

Hearing Ruan Shengzhi's voice, Ruan Shengpeng's face darkened. Then, Old Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Tian appeared. Haha, now they're all here!

Ruan Shengpeng looked at his father with a hurt expression: "Dad, why did you bring them here?"

"Fourth Brother, I didn't bring them here. I don't know why they came. I was just about to send them away when you arrived!"

"Fourth son! You unfilial son, do you even need to greet your mother? What are you doing shouting here? And what are you doing bringing this vixen and bastard here?"

When Old Lady Ruan saw Yao Yanxin, she felt vicious. This vixen, so many years have passed, her own daughter has grown old, but she has not changed her appearance at all. What else could she be but a demon?

Ruan Shengpeng turned around and slapped Ruan Shengzhi three or four times: "Try calling me a vixen again? Try calling me a bastard again. I can't hit you, but can't I hit your daughter?"

"I'd like to see if your hand is harder, or if your daughter has a thicker face."
