"It's so noisy outside, Xiao Shen. You're frowning, is something wrong?"
Xiao Dan has some understanding of the soldiers he promoted.
He led the team that reclaimed the island, and his feelings for this place are like coming home; he won't lose his sense of belonging just because he's been transferred.
Shen Yijin pinched the bridge of his nose, about to explain, when Shishi spoke first.
"Dad, don't worry about it, this is my business. Grandpas aren't allowed to interfere. Eat quickly, we're going to prepare a barbecue later. You can skewer whatever you want."
The three chickens buried their heads and pecked at their food, demonstrating that they were good children who only ate and watched the show without participating.
Ugly Little Master is even more obedient than a chicken, eating a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables, and making no noise at all.
Needless to say, the patriarch was busy removing fish bones from the golden phoenix.
Is there any noise outside?
I didn't hear it.
The two little darlings drinking milk suddenly brightened up and shouted, "Mommy, go for it! Let's get her to eat!"
The five old men were very sensible.
They were just invited to have a barbecue; they weren't the hosts and had no authority.
"Old Xiao, this dish is good, you should try it."
"Old Song, I prefer this dish. It's spicy and flavorful enough. Big Boss, Old Zhou, Old Lu, you guys should try it."
"Ming Hailiang is a good cook; he has potential."
Li Pengfei and Ding Youliang, both married couples, kept their eyes closed and their noses closed, reflecting on their inner thoughts.
If the little ancestor says not to interfere, then don't interfere. Evil people will be dealt with by capable people.
Zhang Tong placed a piece of golden-brown fried ribbonfish on Xiao Dan's plate. "Eat your food. Mind your own business and you'll live a few more years, don't you know that?"
Xiao Dan silently picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the fish, and said, "The fish my wife picked up is really delicious."
The people who were suddenly fed dog food: ...
Zhou Miaoniang rushed in, crying and wailing, and knelt down, though it was unclear whether she was kneeling correctly.
She had only heard that a high-ranking leader had come to the army and was having a meal in the canteen. She was illiterate, had never read a newspaper, and did not have a television at home, so she did not know what the high-ranking leader looked like.
Thinking that becoming a high-ranking leader must be a great blessing, and that all the old men present were plump and healthy, clearly people full of good fortune, I should just kneel down.
Her daughter-in-law and daughter followed behind.
After not seeing each other for a few days, all three of them looked like wilted eggplants.
The seafood didn't sell, the money spent couldn't be recovered, and there would be no way to earn extra income in the future. Zhou Miao might even be kicked out of the family compound. No wonder she's in a bad mental state.
"Leader, please do justice for the people! What are you doing here?" Zhou Miaoniang didn't say a word, and looked at Zhou Shi as if she had seen a ghost.
Wasn't it said that the top leader was having a meal? Why are there other people around?
Even though she, the aggrieved party, had come to plead with them, why did the five old men look at her with such indifference?
You are leaders, not powerless ordinary people. Shouldn't you speak up for the people?
"Boss, I'm here to complain."
Still, no one paid any attention.
They picked up food faster and ate with great relish.
Good food brings good health and long life; why bother with other people's business?
Zhou Miao had a bad feeling. She felt that today's visit would not only fail to help her avoid being kicked out, but might even hasten her departure.
"Zhou Shi, who exactly are you?"
She was clearly the mentally challenged person in the family compound, how did she suddenly become involved with a high-ranking leader?
That's a high-ranking leader, not some common cabbage.
Could it be that they've taken advantage of the Xiao family's influence?
She tried to run away, but Yao Lixiang and Liu Mei blocked her way.
Since you're here, resolve everything. Making a scene like this only makes the family compound look bad.
Shishi picked up the fish bowl with the bones removed, scooped in half a spoonful of rice, added some broth, mixed it, and ate it as she strode over to them.
Xie Lin glanced at the half-bowl of rice and continued to pick out fish bones and peel shrimp shells with another bowl.
After swallowing the fish and rice in her mouth, Shishi slowly opened her mouth.
"Shen Bingshan, didn't Xu Jianghai want a divorce? Why haven't they left yet? Is it because they just had a baby and can't get a divorce?"
Does it matter who she is?
The important thing is to have the ability to handle her.
You dare to block my business? You've got a screw loose.
I haven't even had a chance to deal with you, and you've already walked right into my door. What a perfect opportunity!
Shen Yijin was finally able to speak and explain.
“The day after you went to sea, Xu Jianghai filed for divorce and then took his eldest daughter to pick up his younger daughter.”
"If the couple really can't make ends meet, they should wait for Xu Jianghai to come back before making any plans. Judging from the journey, he should be here soon."
Guagua leaned close to her ear and said, "Master, the Marriage Law didn't stipulate until 2000 that the husband cannot file for divorce within a year of the wife giving birth. Shen Bingshan hasn't approved it yet, probably waiting until the little girl is found before seeing if Xu Jianghai has changed his mind."
These days, there are plenty of people who give away girls to others. Without buying and selling, there is no crime, and therefore no legitimate reason to punish Zhou Miao and her daughter.
Shishi said "Oh," scooped up a mouthful of rice, chewed it vigorously, and sighed inwardly.
It seems that learning about things from later generations in advance can still lead to confusion.
Since there are no rules, she can get started.
"Guagua, is your infertility-inducing medicine ready? She doesn't deserve to be a mother; no matter how many children she has, they'll only bring trouble."
If he really had a son, he might ruin his two daughters now. There are too many stories of spoiled and unruly Yao Zu in the drama.
If you give birth to a daughter, then make sure she can never have a son. Let's see if she regrets it when she's old and destitute.
"It's ready. You wait here. Give it to her tonight. The medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it melts in her mouth so she won't notice. We'll prepare another dose when Xu Jianghai comes back."
Both of you are sexist and prefer sons to daughters. What a perfect match! I don't care if you get divorced or not. Let things stay this way from now on. Having two daughters is a blessing you accumulated in your past lives.
