"Chen Ke told me that!"
Old Meng, Meng Zhigang's father, said it in a very straightforward manner.
There's nothing wrong with saying this.
This old family has really had a run of bad luck.
What a troublemaker!
"I've told you everything. Oh, by the way, Lao Meng, I heard you found your second son?"
These people all came from that chaotic era.
Back then, many women couldn't bring their children with them after giving birth.
If we were to go to war, it would be a matter of life and death.
For the child's safety, we had no choice but to place him in the care of a fellow villager.
In those chaotic times, many people perished, and many others moved away with their families.
Many children are now missing.
Such things happen quite often in their compound.
Two things have been causing quite a stir lately.
The fifth family's twins, this is the main character.
One of them is Lao Meng's second son, who has been found.
However, this commotion was so small that not many people knew about it.
Old Meng rubbed his injured leg and smiled to himself.
"That's right, our son is back, and he's even married! My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I'll be a grandfather soon!"
Of their generation, only he and Fifth Prince are left without grandchildren.
He was the eldest son, a good-for-nothing; he got married but had no children.
The check-up revealed that neither of them had any problems.
But they just don't have children.
The doctor examined them and said that this situation was normal, except that the two of them couldn't have children.
If the two separate and find other partners, they might be able to have children.
Sure enough, the eldest daughter-in-law remarried not long after her divorce.
In less than a year, she gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy.
Therefore, many people say that their eldest child should not have another child!
Sigh, you can't explain this kind of thing to everyone.
That's like stomping his son's face on the ground.
We can only hope that the eldest son finds someone soon and has a child, then this rumor will be dispelled.
Now, the second son's wife is also pregnant, and the Meng family has an heir.
Don't say the child doesn't have the surname Meng.
That doesn't matter, as long as he's his grandson, it doesn't matter what.
The old buddies were happy for Lao Meng when they heard what he said.
"Really, oh my, Lao Meng, you're going to have a lucky year ahead of you!"
As she spoke, she slapped him on the shoulder.
The people living here are either veterans who have been to the battlefield, family members, or caregivers and orderly soldiers.
The old man who slapped Lao Meng was also a retired veteran.
That slap almost killed Old Meng.
"Hey, Lao Zuo, are you trying to send me away or what? You're incredibly strong!"
Old Zuo laughed sheepishly, "Alright, Old Meng, everyone knows you. Back in the day, you were the best around here!"
As the group talked, they began to reminisce about their glorious past.
They completely ignored Fifth Lin and Zhao Yulan, those two muddle-headed fools who couldn't tell the difference between inside and outside.
Most of them had some kind of injury or illness.
They've mostly retired.
When I have nothing to do, I like to wander around.
I got some exercise, got some sunshine, and listened to all sorts of gossip.
Life is getting better and better.
They all wanted to live for several more decades.
Experience the beauty of our motherland.
They're in a good mood.
Things are not going well for Zhao Yulan and Wu Lin.
Both of them were only mid-level managers at their workplace.
After being kicked out, Wu Lin managed to get a small two-room apartment approved by someone.
Although, these two houses are already quite good for the couple.
However, it also depends on where the people moved from.
They originally lived in the fifth family's detached villa, where they had a nanny and a driver.
Although these were all provided for Chen Ke, sometimes they could also benefit from them.
Of course, you still have to pay for the gas yourself.
Now, there are only two rooms.
The kitchen and toilet are shared.
Zhao Yulan was originally a very strong-willed person.
She felt that she could live a good life without her mother-in-law.
However, she was defeated by reality after only one day.
She couldn't stand it.
The two knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
They could only slink back to the family compound.
People greeted them warmly on the street, but the two ignored them.
"Pah, who do they think they are? If it weren't for having a good mother, they wouldn't be living such a comfortable life!"
Only after Fifth Lin had walked far away did this man dare to curse out loud in a low voice.
"Alright, let's go. You said it yourself, she has a good mother, what can we ordinary folks do?"
Haven't you heard? The thing their son did, anyone else would have been in deep trouble by now. But they're still doing fine, which shows how capable they are.
Okay, okay, let's go!
Fifth Lin and Zhao Yulan did not hear any complaints from others about them.
They didn't think they had done anything wrong.
Qiangzi is just a child, still young. He can correct his mistakes!
It's not a big deal.
However, the harsh environment made Fifth Forest waver.
"Yulan, how about we agree to Mom's conditions first? Mom said those kids are coming to our house in a couple of days. Let's go back and acknowledge them as our parents first."
Yulan, I know you're troubled by Qiangzi's situation, but things really can't be changed!
Also, can we just abandon the Zhao family?
However, he dared not say it, fearing that his delicate magnolia could not bear it.
Sure enough, Zhao Yulan's eyes reddened again the next second.
