Chen Yun, who was said to be getting more and more stupid, looked happy instead. Liu Qiao helped to carry all their luggage, and Chen Yun was just responsible for walking in front.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Cai Qijun and her daughter Cai Ping, who seemed to be in a confrontation. Fortunately, Cai Qijun saw Chen Yun and her expression softened a little. She even called Chen Yun, "Sister Yun, are you back from home?"

Chen Yun smiled and replied, "Yeah, what's the matter with you two?" She pretended not to notice the tension between the mother and daughter and tried to ease the atmosphere.

Cai Qijun did not treat Chen Yun as an outsider, and she spoke to Chen Yun in a rush: "You said this child is really disobedient, how much money did I waste. She said she wanted to take some photo albums, and I gave her money, but she left me halfway. That's fine, but she said a few words to her and even quarreled with me, you said this..."

"It's not a big deal. You and your daughter should just talk it out." Chen Yun stood there and advised.

Cai Qijun waved her hand, and Chen Yun went in with her husband and son.

After closing the door, Zi Rui whispered to Chen Yun: "Mom, it seems that Cai Ping and Brother Yang Yang are in love?"?

Chen Yun was puzzled. She couldn't help but ask her son, "How did you know that?"

Zi Rui pouted: "How could I not know? I saw them holding hands, Zhen Zhen told me that they were in love."

Liu Qiao rolled his eyes at his son and said, "Don't talk nonsense about love."

"I know. Didn't I just tell you two about it? I didn't tell anyone else." Zi Rui said dissatisfiedly.

Chen Yun and Liu Qiao smiled at each other, and then Liu Qiao said seriously: "Don't fall in love. If your father hadn't fallen in love, his current achievements would definitely be more than this."

Zi Rui made a face: "Then you can't touch my mother either."

"Silly child, no matter what the relationship between your mother and me is, I will marry your mother no matter how hard I try." Liu Qiao smiled at his son. He and Chen Yun had known each other since childhood, so there was no need for an introduction like other people.

After a few words of laughter, Feng Yu came over and invited them to the table for dinner. The house was now full, although not as big as other people's houses, but they were very satisfied.

On the table were stir-fried Yunnan small melons, preserved eggs with tofu, and egg skin fried with minced meat. These were all light side dishes. Chen Yun said to Feng Yu with a satisfied look on her face, "I still like the dishes my mother makes. They all look delicious."

Feng Yu was very happy to hear this. Her daughter-in-law was not like other daughters-in-law who always thought that it was their parents-in-law's duty to do things for them. Every time they did housework, the daughter-in-law would praise them and speak well of herself and her husband to outsiders.

She actually ate two bowls of rice, and she still felt unsatisfied. At home, wedding banquets are all about fish and meat, so it would be really nice to have some light porridge and side dishes.

While eating, she told Feng Yu about Liu Lu's recent situation: "Sister is doing well now. Brother-in-law really listens to sister in everything. I think they are getting more and more loving now."

Feng Yu liked what she heard. She smiled and said, "Your sister has figured it out now. In fact, men after the age of 40 basically return to their families."

Chen Yun did not comment on what her mother-in-law said, but she could understand it because that was how people of Feng Yu's age were, so she would not say much.

Cai Qijun wanted to roll her eyes, but luckily her son Ruan Yaoyu was sensible and obedient. She opened the door and went in, and said to Cai Ping, "Do you know that Zhong Yang was just teasing you? You're not good-looking, so I think you should win a prize. You little girl, you haven't even grown up yet, but you do that kind of thing."

Cai Ping bit her lips tightly, not daring to vent her resentment. She wanted to ask, is this really her biological mother? She would beat and scold her at every turn, or send her far away, fearing that she would be infected with something from her.

If she hadn't seen how much her mother Cai Qijun cared about her younger brother, she would have really thought that all mothers in the world were like this. Zhong Yang was nice to her, but in fact he was just pitying her and sympathizing with her. It couldn't even be said that they were in love.

He was just an older brother who was very kind to her. When she first came to the family building, she played best with Liu Zirui, but Liu Zirui had no sympathy. When he saw her crying, he would at most ask a question, and then when he heard someone at home calling him to eat, he would go back immediately and never care about anyone else.

But Zhong Yang was very warm, just as his name suggested, and he was very kind to her.

Cai Qijun saw that she was silent again. She wondered why she gave birth to a mute child. Zhong Yang was going to take the college entrance examination soon. He had been admitted to a key university, but he did not get into the school of his choice, so he had to repeat a year. Xu Lijie had high hopes for this son. How could she let a little girl like Cai Ping mess things up at this time?

While not many people knew about this, she scolded Cai Ping first. Otherwise, if outsiders started scolding him, what would happen to their old Ruan?

It was obvious that this little bastard had caused the trouble himself, but he wanted her and Lao Ruan to clean up the mess. She was really wishful thinking.

Chen Yun was horrified to hear that the child was beaten in the middle of the night. Liu Qiao held her back and said, "This is not something we can control. Besides, she might be doing this for Xu Lijie to see."

Chen Yun figured it out immediately. If Zi Rui was telling the truth, then Xu Lijie might blame Cai Ping for her son's failure in the college entrance examination.

She fell asleep: "There will be some quarrels in the family building again."

The sun rose as usual. Hu Qiang rode out on his bicycle and greeted Chen Yun who was going to work. He wore black-framed glasses and his face showed a lonely and pitiful look.

Before Chen Yun could comfort him, Liu Qiao stuffed her into the car and handed her an egg pancake. Liu Qiao was going to take her to work today. There were not many people on the road. Liu Qiao said on the way: "I may have to go to Beijing for a business trip for a while. During this time, you will have to take the car by yourself. You must pay attention to traffic safety."

"Well, didn't I know this?" Chen Yun said that she knew it.

Later, Liu Qiao went on a business trip, and Chen Yun got used to her husband's occasional training and business trips, and actually felt okay. Married women's lives are mostly occupied by family and work, and Chen Yun is no exception. After work, she has to take care of her child's studies, fearing that he will not learn well, and even has to do listening exercises with him.

It was the same today. Zirui was doing his listening test and Chen Yun was helping him tune the tape. Unexpectedly, a noise started outside.

Feng Yu came in and called Chen Yun out: "Go and see what's going on."

The noisy military wives surrounded Cai Qijun's home. Chen Yun had never seen so many military wives before. Xu Lijie held a letter in her hand. She almost shouted at Cai Qijun: "She is so young, but she has learned to seduce people. Our Yangyang is such an honest child. I tell you that with Yangyang's grades, it is not a problem for him to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University, but you see he is a few points short. If it weren't for you, his grades would not have dropped at all."

"It's all over. Look at what you've written now."

With a sarcastic look on her face, she conveyed her extreme hostility to the thin little girl, Chapin.

Chen Yun looked at the little girl, then at Cai Qijun, and sure enough, she was shaking. Xu Lijie saw Chen Yun, and after all, she was very familiar with Chen Yun, so she kindly reminded her: "Chen Yun, I have to remind you, your Zi Rui is the same age as this girl, if you want to get better grades, don't let your Zi Rui get along with her."

Fortunately, Xu Lijie had some sense and did not say anything to Cai Qijun. She knew that Cai Qijun's family conditions were average. Although what she wore and used were the best in the area, in terms of family background, Cai Qijun relied on her husband. And Cai Ping was not the biological daughter of Captain Ruan. Since she was not a biological daughter, Xu Lijie would not be polite. If it was Xiao Lan, she would have to think about it, but Cai Ping was not Xiao Lan.

Besides, she was also annoyed when she saw Chen Yun. She didn't expect that Liu Zirui, who looked like that, was actually an honest man. Even a jerk like Hu Qiang, who was not good-looking, fell in love early, which made Chen Dafen die. But Liu Zirui was tall and handsome, as honest as a rabbit, and spent his days studying and exercising.

Chen Yun thought it was ridiculous: "Sister Xu, what does this have to do with us? Don't talk nonsense."

She was not afraid of Xu Lijie either. She knew that Xu Lijie was angry with her since she refused her from getting too close to her. She was not like Zhang Han, who would pretend not to find fault with someone even if she disliked him/her very much. As Liu Qiao often said, the higher you climb, the lonelier you will be.

Rejecting Xu Lijie was equivalent to rejecting those who wanted to give gifts to build relationships. Liu Qiao was engaged in a sacred profession and he was loyal to the country, so there was no need for him to build such relationships.

Such small favors will only make others think that you are greedy for small gains and not someone who can really accomplish big things.

Seeing Chen Yun's half-smile, Xu Lijie knew that she was out of control for a moment, so she focused her fire on Cai Ping. But she was just a little girl after all, and her words were too harsh. What if something happened?

Some older military wives started to smooth things over because Cai Qijun, as a mother, just looked at her daughter coldly without saying a word to defend her. They all had children, so soft-hearted people would inevitably offer some words of advice.

"Li Jie, please stop talking. The little girl is young and doesn't understand things. The adults can just educate her. Why do you have to do this? If something happens to her, you won't be able to bear the consequences..."

"Yes, her parents are like you, and you see them all the time. It will be hard for you to get along with each other in the future..."

"Forget it. You Yangyang will take the college entrance examination next year. Isn't it okay for you to just keep a close eye on him this year?"

…

Everyone was trying to get Xu Lijie to let Cai Ping go, but unexpectedly, the child's biological mother, Cai Qijun, pushed Cai Ping forward and said to Xu Lijie, "This child is yours. You can discipline him however you want. I won't look for you even if you beat him to death."
