The Qin family's house in the military compound wasn't small; it was a small two-story building. It would stand out among a row of single-story houses, but it wasn't anything special compared to the other two-story buildings in the compound.
As they walked towards the door, Qin Qinghuai introduced the situation in a low voice.
"Usually only the elderly live at home. The logistics department provides a caregiver and two guards. My eldest brother's work unit allocated him a house, and my second brother and sister-in-law also live in their own courtyard. Sometimes the children come over for a meal on weekends."
There were guards at the entrance of the compound. They stared at Qin Qinghuai for a while before saluting and greeting him.
"Officer Qin, you're back?"
Yes, Qin Qinghuai's previous position in this unit was staff officer.
Qin Qinghuai responded calmly.
"Hello, this is my wife. Please register her so she can freely enter and leave the compound from now on."
"You, wife, wife?"
The two guards stood there, stunned.
Everyone in the compound knows that the third young master of the Qin family has been frail and sickly since childhood, and he avoids women like the plague. When he left last year, there was no sign of him having a wife. How come he suddenly has one?
Uh, it's quite pretty.
"What, is there a problem?"
"Ah, no, no, this way, register here, sign here."
"Alright, that's enough, Staff Officer Qin. You two can go in now."
"OK, thanks."
In the living room on the first floor of the Qin family home, the old lady was talking to the housekeeper.
"Don't bring them food tonight. They'll come over in a bit, we'll explain what happened, then they can go home."
"Aren't you going to invite them to stay for dinner? That child?"
"Why,"
The old lady sighed. No matter how inconsiderate her son and daughter-in-law were, she still loved her child, and couldn't help but grumble a little.
"Tell me, what's the point of pulling up and hitting this child?"
"We've gotten a wife, had a child, and now look at us, it's all our fault! They've come knocking on our door. This isn't a child anymore, they've become our enemies."
Aunt Xu had worked for the Qin family for many years and was quite familiar with the old lady. Upon hearing this, she smiled and offered some advice.
“It’s normal for kids to have their own ideas as they grow up. They’re all adults, and they can’t possibly be unaware of these things. They’re all good kids in our family, but they come into contact with a lot of different people every day, so they might be influenced by others.”
The old lady knew perfectly well that the nanny was only choosing the best ones; even she herself felt ashamed of such a thing.
"Ah, if only the third brother were here. He doesn't talk much, but he's the most considerate. Everyone is afraid of the eldest and second brothers' families."
I don't even expect them to be filial to us two old folks. As long as they can live their lives peacefully and quietly without causing trouble, I'll be grateful.
"Pooh!"
He slapped himself as soon as he finished speaking; he really had no restraint when it came to his words.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a voice came from the doorway.
I had no idea you thought that way about me.
