When Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu returned home, they were warmly welcomed by Yao Tongxu. After he helped put the things in the kitchen, he carefully peeled off the wrappers of the milk candies.
The candy was wrapped in glutinous rice paper. Yao Tongxu stuck out his tongue and licked the glutinous rice paper, accidentally licking the candy. He was instantly captivated by the milk candy!
He exclaimed happily, "Sis, sis, the candy is so delicious!"
Yao Tongjia was quite surprised to see Yao Tongxu so happy after eating a little candy. She herself didn't like candy, and Xiao Gengwu was also a quiet person who wouldn't ask for candy.
The two adults were restricted from having sugar coupons, so they had never bought milk candy before. It seems they can buy candy more often in the future, as it only costs one yuan per pound!
The family enjoyed another meal of rice and braised pork, and they all burped contentedly. This is the ultimate happiness in life!
While they were overflowing with happiness, Ruan Shengpeng was furious, having spent several months recovering from his injuries in the hospital.
When he returned to his own courtyard, he discovered that the person living there was his younger sister, Ruan Shengzhi.
Ruan Shengzhi moved in, and she even threw away all the previous furnishings and replaced them with new ones.
Ruan Shengpeng walked around the house and discovered that everything he and his wife had bought together was gone!
Ruan Shengpeng's finger trembled as he pointed at his rebellious younger sister: "Why do you live in my house? Why did you throw away all my furniture?"
Ruan Shengpeng felt a sharp pain in his chest. His injury had not yet healed, and the hospital wanted him to remain hospitalized.
However, Ruan Shengpeng insisted on being discharged from the hospital. He wanted to return to his home, to the home where Yao Yanxin's presence was.
But if everything in the house is gone, how can there still be any trace of life?
Ruan Shengpeng was so angry that his eyes turned red, while Ruan Shengzhi coldly looked at her brother and gave her son, Fang Chuancheng, a wink.
Fang Chuancheng knew what was going on and turned to call for help.
Ruan Shengzhi leisurely poured herself a glass of water and slowly drank it: "This house was given to me by my mother. If you have any questions, go and argue with my mother. All the furniture in here was replaced with money from my mother."
"These are all part of my dowry, of course I want to replace them! I don't care about anything that country bumpkin used!"
“That’s my wife, your sister-in-law. You call her a country bumpkin? Who do you think you are? Go back to your ancestors, who didn’t come from the countryside? If you didn’t come from the countryside, you were all sent down to the countryside!”
These words made Ruan Shengzhi lose her composure: "I was just saying, so what if she's a country bumpkin? You brought her back here to enjoy yourself, while I, a young lady from the capital, have to go to the countryside. What kind of justice is this?"
"What does it have to do with my Yan Yan whether you go to the countryside or not? It's not because of her that you're going to the countryside. Why are you taking your anger out on her? It's just because she doesn't have a family to rely on."
"Why don't you take it out on your older sisters-in-law? You only know how to pick on the weak. You think you're so great?"
Ruan Shengzhi's thoughts were exposed, and her composure crumbled: "So what if I want to bully her? She's an orphan with no parents, no power or influence, why should she have a job? Why doesn't she give me her job?"
"She got the job through her own abilities, why should she give it to you? Besides, she's a designer, can you design clothes?"
Ruan Shengpeng had no idea that his sister was coveting his wife's job!
"Who can't design clothes? Even if she doesn't give them to me, I'll still get the job, won't I? Humph!"
"What did you say? You took Yan Yan's job? How could you? How dare you?"
"What's there to be afraid of? What's there to be unable to do? This is your sister, your sister who is connected to you by blood. Now you're going to criticize your sister for the sake of an outsider? Where is your conscience?"
Ruan's mother's voice came from behind, and Ruan Shengpeng's chest ached even more: "Mom, you promised me you would help me take care of Yan Yan, and this is how you take care of her?"
"I took care of her until she lost her house, her job, and even herself. What about my two children?"
Ruan's mother didn't care: "If you lose your wife, you can just marry another one. Besides, wasn't your wife there to take care of you? How is she gone?"
"Are you sure that person is my wife? It's not just someone wearing the same skin, but even if they look the same, the skin is different. That's not my wife!"
"Mom, tell me, what happened? I came back from a mission and my son was gone, my daughter was missing, and my wife had been replaced."
"Who said your daughter is missing? Your daughter is right here, Ruan Tian, call for her dad!"
Ruan Shengpeng saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old walking towards him. She had a head of jet-black hair that was loose over her shoulders, with only her long bangs held in place by a bow.
At that moment, she sweetly called out, "Daddy!"
But for some reason, Ruan Shengpeng felt nauseous. This was definitely not his daughter, even though she was only two or three years old when he went on his mission.
But my daughter's eyes weren't like that, and when she called me "Dad" and rushed towards me, my heart was filled with joy.
Without feeling such disgust, Ruan Shengpeng closed his eyes and said, "Mom, why did you do this? This person is definitely not my daughter. Where have you thrown my daughter, my son, my wife?"
When Ruan's mother saw Ruan Tian being told by Ruan Shengpeng that she wasn't his daughter, her eyes immediately filled with tears, which seemed ready to fall at any moment.
Ruan's mother immediately hugged her daughter tightly, her heart aching for her: "How could you treat your daughter like this? I already told you, your son is dead, and your wife was taking care of you before, wasn't she?"
Just then, a woman walked in and called out softly, "Brother Peng!"
The person who walked in was none other than "Yao Yanxin"!
Mother Ruan pointed at "Yao Yanxin" with disgust: "Isn't that your wife? What are you being so dramatic about?"
That lingering "Brother Peng" sent shivers down Ruan Shengpeng's spine.
His mother's words gave him only one reaction at that moment: he wanted to throw everyone here out.
But as a soldier, he couldn't do that. All he could do was roar, "Shut up! I don't know you. Don't call me that!"
He didn't want to waste any more words: "Ruan Shengzhi, I order you to move out of here immediately, and bring back all my old furniture, or I'll throw all your things out!"
"Ruan Shengpeng, how dare you? This is my dowry for your sister, what right do you have to kick her out?"
"Why should I? Because this is my home, and the property deed here is in my name!"
Ruan Shengzhi laughed: "Unfortunately, you'll be disappointed. The property deed has already been changed to my name!"
"What did you say?" Ruan Shengpeng asked in disbelief. "Who switched it? Who switched it? Yan Yan would never have transferred it to you! Show it to me!"
