"So, if the other party wants to find a solution, it's only from two aspects. My wife is a woman, and the most important things are her own family, her husband's family, and her own little family."
My wife's family has no weaknesses for the time being. The remaining two courtyards are inanimate objects and have been rented out, so they are not much of a bargaining chip.
Now that she's married, her status as a sent-down youth is no longer a constraint. The only one she could possibly be interested in is the Qin family, specifically my second brother.
Qin Qinghuai's eyes darkened, then he paused, suddenly remembering something.
"Not necessarily. There's another thing that my wife will definitely care about, which is something that's really disgusting."
The group looked at each other.
"Stop selling megapixels, just say it!"
Qin Qinghuai found it simple, but felt a pang of pity. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke with difficulty.
"Yes, it's the graves of my maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather."
Simple frowned deeply.
"Surely not? If that person is likely a high-ranking officer in the military, and he's not even worried about the child's grandfather, surely he can't be completely lacking in manners? How could he do something so despicable?"
With Old Master Qin absent, Qin Qinghuai is still the one who knows the Beijing Military Region best.
"They all come from humble backgrounds and have fought their way to the top on the battlefield. Some people think they have changed completely and that they can fight side by side on the battlefield. But those who have been praised here for the past ten years have long been corrupted by this high-ranking official. Money and power are what they are pursuing now."
Besides, they've seen too many deaths on the battlefield. They'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and they don't care if it's despicable or disgusting. Even if the treasure is hidden in a pigsty, they can still laugh and say that the pigsty smells good.
Some people have become accustomed to being fawned over, praised, and flattered. They've also become accustomed to having whatever they want delivered to them simply by asking. As for the process, they really don't care.
To put it bluntly, some people don't even value human life that much. Their own life is precious, but other people's lives are no different from weeds; they might even think other people's lives are less useful than weeds.
This statement is actually quite ironic, but it must be said that it does exist in reality.
Simple frowned, a hint of fierceness flashing in her eyes.
"So, does that mean we have no choice but to go back?"
"They can covet the things, but if they dare touch the grave and disturb their peace, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll turn their world upside down."
Although she had never met them herself, based on the original owner's memories, Jian Dan genuinely respected these two old men. She absolutely would not allow their peace to be disturbed because of some people's unfounded speculations.
"Then I'll go back. As for the excuse,"
A simple sneer.
"Aren't they just waiting for me to come back and show up? Isn't that the perfect excuse?"
In a daze, Qin Qinghuai felt as if he had seen the heroine from that day again, with the same awe-inspiring presence. He was a beat slower, and spoke in unison with Jian Liye.
"What excuse?"
"Take the child to see his great-grandfather!"
At first, it was a few grown men who were anxious about this.
As she spoke, her tone shifted to simple urgency—or rather, anger. She hadn't intended to cause trouble, but now she couldn't hold back any longer.
"You guys discuss what I should and shouldn't do when I get back, otherwise I might just do whatever I want, and don't let that really mess up your plans."
Hearing this, Qin Qinghuai and Cheng Chao were the least surprised. After all, Qin Qinghuai had witnessed what happened to the Peng family, and based on his understanding, he was 100% sure that his wife wanted to do the same thing.
Cheng Jin pointed at her, not knowing what to say, but the most surprised was Jian Liye, her biological father.
Since returning, nothing has happened, and he hasn't had a chance to simply make a move. He genuinely couldn't imagine how much his once soft and sweet daughter could have changed. Hearing this, he even asked a question.
“Daughter, don’t do anything reckless! Since those people dare to do such things, they are obviously not good people. They must have people protecting them at home and around them. Otherwise, they would be ruthless. Don’t make any rash moves.”
The others twitched at the corners of their mouths and looked at Jian Liye with a wry smile, thinking to themselves, "You really don't know your daughter's abilities!"
"It's alright. I'm not a good person either. Since they dare to do such a thing, they must be quite capable. I'd like to go and have a go at them."
Jian Liye's eyelids twitched, his heart pounded, and his hands trembled.
"My daughter..."
The group exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of helplessness, relief, and heartache.
Although we only just learned about this here, no one knows what the situation is in the capital, what the people behind it are planning, or what they will do next. To avoid any unforeseen complications, after some discussion, we decided to set off in two days.
Simply holding the child, Qin Qinghuai knew this space would be used frequently, so he naturally followed along because he was worried.
Qin Qinghuai's martial arts skills were only average, so no one trusted him. Therefore, without a doubt, Cheng Chao also accompanied him.
Another one is Jian Liye. No matter how much he refused, it was no use. He kept insisting that he had to go back and see who was bullying his daughter. He looked like he was ready to fight.
Cheng Jin repeatedly told Cheng Chao to keep a close eye on him. He was quite shrewd, but when faced with simple matters, he would get anxious and easily lose his composure.
In situations like this, where the whole family is going out, and there's a child under one year old, you absolutely have to tell your in-laws.
Fortunately, the Qin couple were not ordinary people. Having been in high positions for a long time, some sensitivity had become instinctive, especially regarding matters in the military. They didn't know what to say about these things. Some of their old comrades-in-arms had undergone significant changes in recent years. They were aware of this, but they simply assumed it was due to changes in status, the addition of power and money, and the resulting desire for enjoyment.
This is understandable; they've spent half their lives fighting, and it's already a miracle they survived. They didn't want to say anything.
However, I never expected that someone would have such thoughts.
Having the intention is fine and normal; if it's done through legitimate channels, there's absolutely no problem.
But by sheer chance, they chose the most shady route.
"Sigh! Go on, go on. The things aren't important. Just take care of yourselves and the children."
The connections I'm giving you are the ones you can trust. Remember them, third brother; you can go to them if you need anything.
The old lady also sighed.
"Humans are never satisfied. They want more once they have one. They're never content. When will this ever end?"
After they all left, the old man sighed again.
“Old woman, now I feel that we retired too late. If we had come earlier, do you think we could have avoided all that anger and trouble? Thinking about it now, our eldest son makes me feel so sad.”
