Yao Tongjia knew, of course, that even if they figured out what kind of medicine was inside, the effect would definitely not be as good as adding spiritual spring water, so she didn't care: "Last time I gave you the finished product and the semi-finished product, I used one kilogram of medicine. How much do you want now?"
Huang Shanshan looked at her husband, Chen Zhizhi, who is currently a logistics manager in the military. He was of a relatively high rank when he was injured, and his wife and children were both in the military.
He accepted the army's arrangement and entered the logistics department as a manager. He was sent by his superiors this time, hoping to get his hands on the formula, but judging from the girl's condition, it seemed unlikely.
Chen Zhizhi looked at Yao Tongjia: "Don't you need to call your family to talk to me?"
At this moment, Huang Shanshan also realized: "Yes! Tongjia, you saved our son, and we should thank your family too. Why don't we go to your house?"
Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu both shook their heads: "No need, just talk to us!"
Chen Zhizhi, however, looked at Xiao Gengwu and insisted: "We still need to talk to the adults in your family!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat. Why did this kid's face look so familiar? Whose kid is this?
Xiao Gengwu was somewhat displeased: "If you can, then talk to us; if not, we won't sell!"
Just then, a voice rang out from outside the door: "Grandma Huang, I've come to see the children!"
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia hurriedly went out to greet him: "Master, what brings you here?"
Xiao Yan, carrying two baskets of vegetables, looked at the two children with a big smile on her face.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhizhi called out, "Yanzi, is that you?"
Xiao Yan turned around and saw Chen Zhizhi with some surprise: "Brother Zhizhi, what are you doing here?"
"Do you know anything about my parents?" Xiao Yan asked anxiously, forgetting to take off the baskets she was carrying. Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu each took one off the baskets.
It's worth noting that Chen Zhizhi was not only the son of his parents' colleague, but also had been his parents' bodyguard.
Chen Zhizhi still keeps the confidentiality regulations in mind: "They are safe now!"
"Really? My parents are safe, they weren't sent to the countryside?" Xiao Yan's voice dropped eight octaves as she said the last two words!
"They are still in the research institute, doing research work, so don't worry!" However, what Chen Zhizhi didn't say was that they currently do not have the freedom to send letters out.
"What happened when I received my parents' last letter more than ten years ago, saying that they were expected to be sent to the countryside?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.
Chen Zhizhi shook his head: "There are some things I can't say. Just know that they didn't suffer!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's dejected look, he asked, "What are you doing here? Don't you work at the Beijing Municipal Hospital?"
Just then, Huang Shanshan spoke up: "Yes! Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Turning around and seeing Huang Shanshan, Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. How did Xiao Yan know both of them?
Xiao Yan calmed down and said, "Don't call me sister-in-law. Just call me Xiao Yan or Yanzi. I'm divorced from Zhiyuan!"
"Yanzi, when are you getting married to Zhiyuan? How come I didn't know?" Chen Zhizhi asked incredulously.
Huang Shanshan explained, "You were either on a mission or on your way to one before. I was the one who attended their wedding, so it's normal that you didn't know."
"But when did you get divorced? How did you get divorced?" For the past ten years or so, the situation has been turbulent, and they have been staying in the military camp, not daring to go anywhere.
"We've been divorced for over ten years! With a mother who's such a troublemaker, it would be strange if we hadn't gotten divorced!"
"What kind of trouble is my second aunt causing?"
Xiao Yan was about to speak when she saw Xiao Gengwu's lips move slightly before she stopped.
Xiao Gengwu said, "It's alright. Tell me, I know her better than you do what kind of person she is!"
"This is your son? Your son with Chen Zhiyuan? That bastard doesn't even want his own son anymore?" Chen Zhizhi was furious!
He and Yanzi were quite familiar with each other. Before he joined the army, they lived in the same family quarters. He never expected that Yanzi would be ruined by his cousin.
"Your weird second aunt sends women to her son's bed, afraid that her son will be too ambitious!"
"What?" Chen Zhizhi and Huang Shanshan exclaimed in unison. They had seen mothers who wanted their sons to be ambitious, but they had never seen a mother who held her son back like this.
Why did my second aunt do this?
"It's also because I didn't listen to my dad. After meeting Chen Zhiyuan, my dad said he was a mama's boy and not a good match."
“I insisted on getting married, and my father told me to please my mother-in-law, or I would suffer in the future.”
"I think we should just have the opportunity to become a family, live together peacefully and cultivate our relationship. Why should we have to resort to flattery?"
"But my dad was right about everything. Your second aunt always suppressed me and wanted me to serve her like an ancient maid."
“I have to go to work every day and do housework when I get home. Your second aunt just sits at home doing nothing, not only does she not help, but she also picks on me.”
"I was spoiled growing up too, and I'm not someone who can be bullied. It's inevitable that I'd have a few arguments with her, and that's why she holds a grudge against me!"
"After I gave birth, she took advantage of me and wouldn't let me take care of the child, so I put the child in daycare and took him to work and brought him back home."
"I thought that since Geng'er is her grandson, she would feel sorry for him, but I didn't expect her to hit Geng'er while I wasn't paying attention!"
"Geng'er was beaten so badly that he became withdrawn and only recently recovered. And that's not all, the son born to another woman is the same age as Geng'er."
“Your cousin even disgusted me by saying he wanted to put the child in my name. Screw him. I divorced him as soon as I received the letter from my father asking me to come to the countryside.”
"If Chen Zhiyuan is having an affair at a time like this, he might as well just quit if he doesn't want to work here anymore!"
"He still has connections with your family, so he'll be able to make a living."
Chen Zhizhi was angry: "From now on, the Chen family will not give him any resources. What's your son's name?"
“My name is Xiao Gengwu. The Chen family doesn’t care about my son, but the Xiao family does. If my parents knew, they would be overjoyed.”
“Xiao Gengwu, I am your eldest uncle. If you don’t want to call me eldest uncle, then just call me uncle according to your mother’s side!”
These words made Xiao Yan laugh: "Tongtong, Geng'er should call him Uncle and Aunt!"
Chen Zhizhi whispered a few words to his wife, and Huang Shanshan went back to the room and wrapped two large red envelopes, handing one to Yao Tongjia and one to Xiao Gengwu.
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "It's alright, you can accept it. From now on, just call him Uncle and Aunt!"
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Tongtong is my apprentice and also my daughter-in-law!"
"Daughter-in-law? They're still so young!" Chen Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise, but Huang Shanshan remembered Yao Tongjia's earlier words: "Yanzi, are you alright?"
"Yanzi, what happened to you before?"
