Nobody's perfect!
Like Chief Lü, he could strike fear into the hearts of the enemy in war, but he couldn't manage a family well.
Perhaps it was guilt that made him want to make amends to the child he had with his ex-wife, but after giving birth to the child and not raising it for so many years, he had already suffered enough. What good would making amends do?
Mu Jingheng sighed. It was only because his maternal grandfather was not around that the Lü family would have been in such a mess.
Grandpa Lü was incredibly stubborn; it seemed that no one but Grandpa Song could control him.
After liberation, Grandpa Lü was basically semi-retired. To put it bluntly, apart from being very good at fighting, he seemed to know nothing else.
No, there's another thing that Grandpa Lü is also famous for: his appetite.
I heard that he was terrified of hunger when he was little, so he would eat as much as he could whenever there was food. He always said that who knows if he would go hungry again at the next meal? If he ate his fill, he would not die of hunger even if he died the next moment.
Once the cycle repeats itself, the habit of overeating becomes impossible to break.
After liberation, life got better and meals became more stable, so Grandpa Lü's weight increased rapidly. Fortunately, he was a man who couldn't sit still and would often go down to the troops to practice with the young soldiers, otherwise his body fat would have been a problem.
Xu Xinning was having a great time watching the drama unfold early in the morning. She hadn't expected there to be so many interesting things happening in the military compound, which seemed to be just as interesting as the brigade.
Strictly speaking, the gossip surrounding military compounds is even more juicy because it's more diverse, and the stories within are likely more exciting than any movie if collected together.
Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng went to work satisfied, looking forward to hearing the rest when they got back from get off work.
The medical exchange group hasn't had much to do lately. Everyone has formed their own teams and is doing their own research. When they encounter problems, they discuss and solve them together.
Perhaps because they were newlyweds, Ye Jiang has been bringing Mu Chenggong meals every day lately.
The older folks might crack a few jokes now and then, but that's their prerogative. After they've said and laughed, they go about their own business.
Mu Chenggong often tries to have meals with Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng under the guise of being a distant relative. Xu Xinning dislikes this and says she doesn't want to disturb their sweet meal. Besides, their dining group is quite large, including Ouyang Changshan and Du Changpu, and now Du Zhong.
Mu Chenggong was obviously aware of Ouyang Changshan and Ye Jiang's affair. He was also a shrewd man and saw that Xu Xinning and the others were hostile towards the couple, so he didn't force his way in. After all, he wanted a long-term relationship, not just short-term gains.
Mu Chenggong was a cunning old fox, and he understood Ye Jiang's intentions, but what could he do? He simply liked her young body.
Ye Jiang thought she had Mu Chenggong under her control, and she was even thinking about when to use Mu Chenggong to embarrass Xu Xinning!
She married Mu Chenggong with ill intentions from the start. She wanted to use Mu Chenggong's position as vice president to improve her own future, and she also wanted to deal with Xu Xinning.
Strangely enough, she and Xu Xinning didn't actually have any conflicts, but she just couldn't stand seeing Xu Xinning doing well.
Ye Jiang thought she had hidden it well, but unfortunately Xu Xinning had already seen through her. However, Xu Xinning didn't take her seriously at all, even though she usually kept a close watch on her and Mu Chenggong.
The biggest beneficiaries of this group exchange were Du Changpu and Ouyang Changshan, so Du Zhong is now cheerful every day. It would be even better if he could have a granddaughter-in-law.
Now, Du Zhong will ask any old man if he has a granddaughter, and any young girl he meets if she has a boyfriend. He's practically obsessed.
As expected, there was more to what happened this morning than expected, based on Xu Xinning's information.
When Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng returned from get off work, the older women in the compound were all chatting in small groups.
Xu Xinning got out of the car at the gate, wanting to hear what the middle-aged women were talking about.
"This granddaughter of the Lü family truly lives up to her reputation as Chief Lü's offspring; she's a real expert at fighting!"
"How can you say she can carry a big sword and take on ten people by herself?"
"I didn't see how he could take on ten people at once, but taking on two is a piece of cake."
"How do you say it? How do you say it?"
The person being questioned looked arrogant, as if she were the most powerful woman in the world.
"Didn't the eldest grandson of the Yu family find a wife?"
"Is this the one that the original Jiang family member introduced?"
"It's her. She came to the compound today and saw the Lu family's girl and the Yu family's stepdaughter fighting. She probably didn't want her own people to get beaten, so she squeezed in to take sides. The Lu family's girl is no pushover, so she used one hand to restrain the Yu family's girl and the other hand to deal with the one taking sides."
Well, now those two annoying people have been brought together.
"So? Did those two win?" the listener asked with curiosity.
"Didn't I say she could easily take on two opponents at once?"
Those listening couldn't help but become even more curious, "You won, right?"
"Of course we won. That's Chief Lü's son, how could he not be amazing?"
Li Youxuan didn't go home during her vacation. She hadn't been back since she started school. Last time her parents came, they brought her brother, who refused to leave and even tried to take advantage of Jiang Jueyi, which resulted in her being sent to prison.
Li's mother pressured her to pull strings and get her younger brother released.
Li Youxuan is no fool; she knows her own brother's character very well. Putting him in jail this time is actually a good thing for Li Youxuan.
At least no one is holding her back anymore.
Li Youxuan thought it had been a long time since she had visited Grandpa Yu in the compound, and wanted to come and reconnect with him. However, she didn't expect to see Yu Mei fighting with someone as soon as she arrived at the compound.
The Lu family's granddaughter was too strong; Yu Mei was completely overwhelmed.
Li Youxuan was shocked when she saw this.
The Yu family may look down on Yu Mei, but to outsiders, Yu Mei is a member of the Yu family. Hitting Yu Mei is disrespecting the Yu family, so she stepped in to take sides without saying a word.
Li Youxuan was used to playing the innocent, pure girl, and her acting skills were already superb. But who was the girl from the Lü family? She was a well-known expert in throwing tantrums in the village.
Back then, her grandmother raised several children all by herself. The hardships she endured are unimaginable. If it weren't for her strong character, would anyone in the family have survived the three years of natural disasters?
Because the old lady was so capable, she managed to raise all her children to adulthood, and not one of them was missing, not even her grandchildren who were so young.
Having grown up surrounded by such influences, how could the Lu family girl be someone who would be bullied by everyone?
Li Youxuan's innocent and naive behavior had long been seen through by the Lü family girl, so she was beaten by the Lü family girl as soon as she made a move.
Li Youxuan was quite confused at first, wondering why this was different from usual.
But the pain brought her back to her senses, and she stopped pretending. She thought she could gain the upper hand by attacking from both sides, but she didn't expect that she would be overwhelmed by the Lu family girl before she could even make a single move.
