In the past, she and Si Nian were clearly like enemies meeting, seeing red with fury.
Now that Si Nian was in trouble, her own birth parents hadn't given her a thought, yet she was the one worrying about them.
Thinking of Si Nian, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but think of her own son's rocky road in love.
She couldn't help but let out another heavy sigh.
If she had known Lin Sisi was like this, she shouldn't have urged her son to get the marriage certificate first just because he was getting older.
Now the entire military compound knew that she, the mother, had been blind.
She had introduced a thief to her own outstanding child.
Although not many people knew about the marriage certificate being issued.
But after all, Fu Yang had been pestered into submitting the marriage report.
The higher-ups knew about it.
Coupled with her son being at a critical juncture in his career.
He couldn't just get a divorce as he pleased.
Mrs. Zheng was so worried her hair was turning white.
Just as she was sighing, someone suddenly came looking for them at the door.
"Hello, is Regimental Commander Fu at home?"
Mrs. Zheng quickly stood up and went outside, seeing Li Xiuhua with several people in military uniform.
Her expression immediately tightened: "He's home, he's upstairs talking with his father right now. And this is...?"
Her gaze instantly fell on the woman standing in the middle.
She looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a cool, elegant, and aloof beauty, but that wasn't what surprised Mrs. Zheng.
What surprised Mrs. Zheng were the two bars and three stars on the other woman's shoulder.
She was actually the same rank as her own son.
She was slightly taken aback but quickly composed herself, her eyes bright as she looked at the woman and hurriedly led them inside.
Just then, Fu Yang came downstairs.
Seeing the visitors, he paused slightly: "Regimental Commander Yang?"
Yang Yujie gave a slight nod, "Regimental Commander Fu."
Fu Qianqian, who was packing up to go out, unexpectedly saw a woman coming to visit her brother and couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Noticing her mother smiling like a blooming flower beside them.
She reached a conclusion.
Wasn't this just the kind of strong, independent woman her brother said he liked?
Omg, so her brother liked older sisters?
She gave her own dear brother an ambiguous smile.
Fu Yang frowned.
Fu Qianqian stuck out her tongue: "Well, I'm off then~"
Fu Yang's gaze noticed what she was carrying in her hand and looked at the box on the floor.
If he remembered correctly, Fu Qianqian was going to see Si Nian.
Fu Yang clenched his fist.
After a moment, he finally looked at Yang Yujie: "What brings you here, Regimental Commander Yang?"
...
"Qianqian, come back early."
Mrs. Zheng saw her daughter off without a backward glance and sighed.
If it weren't for the fact that everything she bought was for women's use, she would have thought her daughter was secretly going on a date.
After calling out that reminder, she noticed Liu Dongdong standing at the gate.
She was taken aback, "Dongdong, here to deliver food again?"
Liu Dongdong nodded, somewhat shyly: "Yes, Auntie Fu. I heard Comrade Fu was back, so...."
Mrs. Zheng actually didn't want too much contact with the Si family.
Because she could no longer accept her son being with a thief like Lin Sisi.
Once the situation stabilized, this marriage had to be dissolved.
Naturally, she also didn't want Liu Dongdong coming over repeatedly.
She had hinted before, both directly and indirectly, that Liu Dongdong should stop delivering things.
But Liu Dongdong would put on an expression that if she didn't deliver it, she couldn't go back and would be driven out, leaving Mrs. Zheng speechless.
After all, this was a matter between their two families, and she didn't want to harm this girl because of herself.
According to her, she was from the countryside and had finally found this job.
She was also a pitiful person.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't say much either and just let it be.
But now, seeing an outstanding woman close to her son's age, she felt she couldn't ruin her son's future happiness just because of momentary embarrassment.
So her expression became a bit more serious: "Sorry, Dongdong. My Fu Yang has official business to discuss now. You'd better go back."
Liu Dongdong's expression faltered, turning somewhat ugly.
She hadn't seen Fu Yang for almost a month.
However, Mrs. Zheng paid her no further mind and turned to go back inside.
Liu Dongdong returned empty-handed, dejectedly going back to the Si house.
Si's Father had just returned. Seeing her, he immediately told her some news.
Her older sister had come looking for her.
Hearing this, Liu Dongdong's face instantly turned pale.
...
School was about to start, and Si Nian had been stealing moments of leisure these past few days.
Right now, she was comfortably soaking in a bath, applying the high-end luxury skincare products Fu Qianqian had sent over.
With Fu Qianqian around, she really never lacked these body care items.
A few days ago, Fu Qianqian had suddenly run over, dropped off a pile of gifts, said something about her brother finding his true love and not bothering her anymore, then happily left hugging a small jar of pickled radishes and a small packet of pastries Si Nian had made.
Si Nian thought this kid was really silly, trading so many nice things for just a jar of pickled radishes and a small packet of pastries.
Thinking that the other person had given her so many things—though it might partly be because she sold her job to her—she still felt a bit bad.
Since the other party liked these little pickles and pastries, she decided to make some more these past few days to send over as a thank-you gift.
They happened to be out of mung beans at home, so after applying her lotion, she picked up a basket, took Yaoyao's hand, and went out to buy groceries.
The old couple from the Jiang family seemed to like them too.
Si Nian thought she'd buy some more.
Just as she was carrying the things back, she ran into Grandma Jiang.
She was holding her grandson's hand and carrying a small bag of fruit.
Little Jiang Jiu immediately let go and ran over when he saw them, familiarly grabbing Yaoyao's other hand and shaking it a couple of times: "Yaoyao little sister, Second Brother's Mom, where are you going?"
Yaoyao blinked her big, grape-like eyes at him.
Suddenly, in a milky voice, she called out: "Brother Stone."
Little Jiang Jiu didn't understand and even introduced himself: "Little sister, my name isn't Stone. I'm Jiang Jiu, also known as: Little Third. You can call me Third Brother."
Yaoyao fell silent.
Little Jiang Jiu didn't mind and continued holding Yaoyao's little hand, chattering away, his eyes sparkling brightly.
At Second Brother's house, his favorite was little sister Yaoyao.
So pretty and adorable.
Second Brother said she looked like Auntie Nian.
Wouldn't that mean when little sister grew up, she'd be like Auntie Nian, looking like a fairy?
At that moment, a few thought bubbles popped up above little Jiang Jiu's head, ending with an image of Yaoyao grown up. He couldn't help but reveal a little perverted smile.
However, the two adults beside them didn't notice.
Grandma Jiang immediately grabbed a few pieces of fruit from her bag and handed them to Si Nian: "Nian girl, I bought some fruit. Take these back to eat."
Si Nian was familiar with her by now and originally wouldn't stand on ceremony.
But when she saw the somewhat shriveled apples in her hand, she was still taken aback.
It wasn't that she disliked the apples being poor quality, but because the person in front of her didn't seem like someone who would begrudge spending money on such subpar fruit.
Grandma Jiang seemed to understand her look and explained: "I just bought these from an old lady over there. She said this was all she had left and sold them cheap to me. I saw she was so old, pitiful, so I bought them."
Si Nian was stunned for a moment, her first reaction immediately knowing that Grandma Jiang had been scammed.
Isn't that the kind of thing only a naive, gullible college student like Wei Lai, with that look of pure foolishness in their eyes, would fall for?
I never thought Aunt Jiang, who always seemed so sharp, could actually be scammed.
Si Nian didn't want to expose it and embarrass her.
Just as she was about to place the apple back in the basket, she suddenly noticed a layer of dust on her hand. Rubbing it between her fingers, a faint smell wafted into her nostrils, and Si Nian's expression instantly changed.....
