"That's true!"

"Take a good look, isn't this your little sister? Okay, now that you've seen her, I need to take the baby back inside."

"But I still want to see my sister."

"Wait a bit, Doubao, we need to go inside and take a look later."

"good"

"You guys are all big brothers now, so you have to protect your little sister, okay? You can't let anyone bully her."

"Don't worry, Dad! If anyone dares to bully my sister, I'll beat them up."

"Beat him up"

"Beat him up!"

"Alright, go play somewhere else."

"No, we're waiting here to see our little sister!"

"Then stay put."

"oh"

"Oh, daughters are the best!"

"You've already started showing favoritism since this baby was born."

"That matter"

"Go tell our parents later."

"no problem"

They had hoped that their youngest daughter, Jiaozi, would be born, bringing a girl into the family. Not only would she be their only daughter, but she would also be the only daughter in the entire Shen family.

My sister-in-law hasn't had any more children in the past few years due to health reasons.

As for the second sister, Shen Nan, due to some issues with her husband's family, the baby was born prematurely, which also damaged her health, making it impossible for her to have any more children.

As for Fourth Brother Shen Bei, he has only been married for half a year, but as mentioned in his last letter, he is about to become a father.

"Mianmian, I received a call from my second sister today. It seems she wants to bring her child over."

"What's wrong? Third Brother, is Second Sister's in-laws causing trouble again?"

"I don't know, my second sister didn't have much, but her voice still sounds a bit off."

"Can she take a day off?"

"It shouldn't be difficult, after all, she hasn't taken a family visit leave in all these years."

"But I'm still worried. Why don't you call Uncle Han and ask him?"

In any case, they are all in the Southeast Military Region, and my second sister's husband's family is also there, not far away, so they should know something."

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow. You just gave birth a few days ago, don't rush it."

"How can I not be anxious? I've never even met my second brother-in-law! Just what I've heard from Uncle Han is enough to make me furious. The Zhao family is truly despicable!"

"Don't worry! Once the time is right, watch how I deal with the Zhao family."

Over the years, I've also used some connections to find things that are detrimental to the Zhao family, especially my second sister's current mother-in-law. She's incredibly greedy; I dare say that by then, we won't even need to lift a finger—someone else will likely take action before we do.

"You mean to say that Second Sister's stepmother-in-law isn't doing her job well?"

"More or less! But so far, she hasn't had any blood on her hands."

"That's nothing. I'll write to my mother's former students later and ask them to keep an eye on things."

So many years of exchanging gifts must have served some purpose!

"It's alright. I think Uncle Han should know about this too, otherwise Second Sister wouldn't have such a leisurely life."

That's right.

"Zhao Donglai, if you don't let Shen Nan and the two children go, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Commander Han, this is a family matter, it has nothing to do with you!"

"How can it not be related? Shen Nan's father was my comrade-in-arms, and she is my own child!"

"Zhao Donglai, if you don't let them go, don't blame me for being impolite. Liu Qing, do you think that what you've done is unknown to others? And are you afraid that if they know, I have enough evidence in my hands to get you executed!"

"Commander Han, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? What do you think?"

"Someone come here!"

"What are you doing? Is there no law anymore? This is a government compound, how dare you!"

"Liu Qing, let me tell you the truth! I originally wanted you to live a couple more years, but since you've acted this way, then you can only blame me for being impolite."

"I dare you to do this! I am the mayor's wife!"

Even if you were the King of Heaven, it would be too late.

"Hey Han, do you think I, Zhao Donglai, am really afraid of you?"

"Zhao Donglai, you've abandoned even the most basic principles for the sake of a woman. It's truly disappointing."

"Guards, take him away!"

"Don't arrest me! What right do you have to arrest me! Old Zhao, Old Zhao, please beg me! Old Zhao!"

"Zhao Donglai, I don't believe it. You have no idea what crimes your husband has committed or what he has done all these years!"

You just feel bad that Liu Qing is bearing your children!

But why don't you mention that Comrade Zhao Ning is also your son? And his mother sacrificed her life saving others on the battlefield! You are utterly ungrateful, you son of a bitch!

Let's go.

"That's how it is..."

"Did Uncle Han say why this man surnamed Liu is holding two children hostage?"

"Isn't it because she thinks her second brother-in-law's official position is better than the sons she raised? Plus, her second sister not only has a good job but also a high position. In short, she is better than her own sons and daughters-in-law in every way."

Most importantly, my second sister gave birth to two sons for the Zhao family. I heard Commander Han say that so far, only my second sister has given birth to two boys in the Zhao family; the rest are all daughters.

Liu Qing was afraid that when Zhao Dong came, he would give all the family property and connections to the son he had with his ex-wife, leaving her without a son.

I've heard that none of Liu Qing's children are successful, but her brother-in-law, whom she never cared about, is doing the best!

"Look at Liu Qing, she's really good at being a stepmother. She keeps Zhao Donglai under her thumb and doesn't even have time to educate her own child!"

"Anyway, the most capable of her kids is some kind of director, not worth mentioning. Otherwise, why would they act like this when her brother-in-law was promoted to deputy regimental commander?"

"I'm afraid this was all done by her sons and daughters-in-law!"

"Definitely a must."

"Alright, that's enough. Go and tidy up the room next door again."

"Okay, do you think there's enough room?"

"It's alright. The inner room will be for the children, and the outer room will be enough for Second Sister and her children."

"good"

"Second sister?"

"Third brother, quick, Mingming, Jiajia, call him uncle!"

"Uncle, these must be my two eldest nephews!"

"Yes, my brother-in-law didn't come?"

"What are you busy with without him?"

"Alright, let's go back first! It's good that you brought the child with you at this time; if you had come later, it would have been cold."

"That's true. If it weren't for the warm weather now, I wouldn't have brought the kids here."

"Second sister, where's the car?"

"Third brother, how have our parents been all these years?"

"It's alright. Although we've been living in the cowshed, we haven't gone hungry. Every year on the winter solstice, Mianmian will change our cotton or something!"

"What if someone finds out?"

"I think the people in the cowshed didn't say it out loud, but they probably all knew something."
