While Yao Tongxu and Ruan Shengpeng were whispering in the kitchen, Xiao Gengwu came over and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Ruan Shengpeng's eyes lit up with surprise: "Little Pudding is here? Come here, I'll go see Little Pudding!"

Seeing Ruan Shengpeng's hurried steps, Yao Tongxu sneered: "Look at those steps, they're practically sparking! You've never been this excited when you saw me and my sister before. It's true what they say, grandparents and grandchildren are so close!"

Xiao Gengwu took over Ruan Shengpeng's job of washing vegetables: "You can also see if you'll become a grandparent who's more affectionate towards their grandchildren in the future!"

"I'm not even planning to have children this soon, and you're already talking about the next generation? Don't be so dramatic."

"You're both this age, it's time to have children!"

Yao Tongxu shook his head: "We're both busy, so let's wait and have a child later. Besides, we haven't had a wedding yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate to have the child attend our wedding later!"

Xiao Gengwu laughed: "That's acceptable, why not?"

The two chatted and laughed as they cooked. Ruan Shengpeng held his beloved little pudding in his arms, and before he could say anything, the little pudding hugged Ruan Shengpeng's neck and asked sweetly, "Grandpa, where have you been lately? Are you very busy?"

Ruan Shengpeng's heart melted: "Yes, there have been some bad people lately, so Grandpa can't take you to the office. I miss my little Pudding!"

Little Pudding pressed his face against the pillow and said, "I miss Grandpa so much, I even eat an extra bowl of rice because I miss him so much!"

Ruan Shengpeng: "..." Shouldn't he be so preoccupied that he can't eat? Why is this little darling thinking about eating an extra bowl of rice?

Ruan Shengpeng posed the question to Xiaobuding, who shook her head: "I miss Grandpa so much that I'm hungry!"

Ruan Shengpeng: "..." This reason is really too good to be true!

The grandfather and granddaughter were snuggling together, chatting away. Li Youyou looked at Little Pudding with longing and said, "Dad, are you done chatting with Little Pudding? Give me a chance to be affectionate with Little Pudding too!"

Ruan Shengpeng wouldn't let it go: "You can come during the day from now on. I haven't been free during the day lately, and when I get back at night, Little Pudding is already asleep. I haven't played with Little Pudding for several days!"

Little Pudding said, "Auntie, I'll talk to you after I get to kiss Grandpa!"

Li Youyou chuckled: "Why are you all lovey-dovey with Grandpa, but when you talk to me you're just talking to him? Aren't I supposed to smell better?"

Little Pudding usually just repeats what others say, but this is the first time she's ever heard someone ask her this question, and she's struggling to figure out how to answer it.

Ruan Shengpeng said with concern, "When you ask questions, you should consider how old Little Pudding is. Don't ask every question you want; it makes Little Pudding feel uncomfortable!"

Li Youyou: "......" Isn't this too much pampering?

Just then, Yao Tongxu brought out the dishes: "Dinner is ready, come and eat!"

Li Youyou wanted to stand up and help, but Yao Tongjia refused: "You should just sit and watch them chat. I'll go!"

Yao Tongjia had heard that Li Youyou had just broken a bowl, and now she was serving the dishes. If Li Youyou spilled the food, there would be no food left!

After the family finished their meal in a happy atmosphere, Yao Tongjia took the initiative to wash the dishes. Ruan Shengpeng felt a little sorry for her and said, "Yan Yan, why don't we hire someone to help us? They don't need to live at home; they can just help with cleaning and cooking two meals!"

Li Youyou immediately agreed: "That's fine. I'll pay for the hiring. I'm really not good at working, but it's uncomfortable for me to just sit there while you guys are doing the work!"

Honestly, if Yao Yanxin were considering her own needs, she wouldn't want to invite anyone. She felt that being able to cook for her family was a blessing.

But Li Youyou doesn't know how to work. She'll be coming over all the time, but she just sits and doesn't do anything. It's not good for anyone. It would be better to hire someone else. It would be more convenient for everyone!

Yao Yanxin nodded: "Then let's hire one. We can cover the cost ourselves, you don't need to pay. I have the money!"

Ruan Shengpeng knew, of course, that his wife's income surpassed that of more than 90% of people in China. He joked with his son, "You and I are both people who live off their wives!"

Xiao Gengwu volunteered to join the camp: "I'm also a gigolo, and my wife is very good at making money!"

This made everyone laugh. Yao Yanxin checked the time and said, "Why don't you go back first? You don't need to wait for your sister. It's not safe to drive late!"

Li Youyou and Yao Tongxu drove themselves here today, without any bodyguards, mainly because it would be difficult for the military region to enter if they brought bodyguards!

Yao Tongxu nodded: "Let's go say goodbye to my sister!"

When the two arrived in the kitchen, they saw Yao Tongjia washing dishes. Li Youyou apologized, "Sister, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"

Yao Tongjia shook her head: "I rarely do work. Are you going back? Then hurry up and leave, it's hard to drive at night!"

After Yao Tongjia finished washing the dishes, Yao Yanxin shared her plan: "We should also hire someone to do housework, otherwise Youyou will feel uncomfortable every time she comes over, and this will inevitably lead to conflict sooner or later!"

At this point, Ruan Shengpeng sighed and told everyone about the dozen or so families involved in wife-swapping: "A family should support each other, but because of the conflicts that accumulate little by little, they all end up becoming executioners!"

"We shouldn't underestimate these small conflicts. If they accumulate little by little every day, they will eventually become a major disaster. We should all be vigilant!"

Yao Tongjia was truly stunned: "This is terrifying!"

Xiao Gengwu hadn't mentioned this to Yao Tongjia before because it involved military matters, so he was quite surprised when Ruan Shengpeng brought it up tonight.

He stated, "Our companies certainly won't have that problem. The first issue for these dozen or so companies is money, and we won't lack that!"

Among these families, Xiao Yan's family is the least financially capable, but with only two people raising one child, they are certainly more than able to manage.

"The second problem is that men don't know how to handle things. When conflicts arise at home, they don't actively try to resolve them; they just expect the problems to disappear on their own. How is that possible?"

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues should be addressed head-on. You can't leave the conflict to time and assume it will resolve itself. How could that be?

"The third problem is that men themselves lack willpower and intelligence!"

After the women were rescued, whenever they showed the men an expression of adoration, the men would lose all reason and become intoxicated by the women's admiring gazes.

He didn't even bother to check what kind of women they were, yet he dared to be with them like that. Lust is truly a double-edged sword!

Ruan Shengpeng strongly agreed with Xiao Gengwu's idea: "It is said that one tree cannot support a whole family. The same is true for a family. It needs two people to support it. Everyone needs to communicate about anything!"

Yao Yanxin recalled Ruan Shengpeng's nervous demeanor earlier: "You ran to the kitchen just now, were you worried that I would have a conflict with Youyou?"

Ruan Shengpeng was dumbfounded. His wife had taken such a long time to react, and he was only just realizing what was going on. How was he supposed to answer?
