Seeing Chen Men''s constant smile, Zhou''s Mother thought to herself that no wonder Xueqin called her foolish, but with exceptionally good luck.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
It was true, Chen Men looked genuinely friendly, with a natural smile on her face.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother first sighed, then pped her thigh, and seeing Little Wang at the door, she pointed and said, "My Xueqin has had such a hard life, giving birth to these two children without dying from the stress they''ve caused her."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Take your time, Auntie," Chen Men said, but didn''t offer her a seat.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She saw the grief and indignation on Little Wang''s face and suddenly understood.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This was why the child watched his mothering and going with Lu Jingyu every day, yet remained so calm, not even crying anymore.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The child''s heart had long since grown cold.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Little Wang is only in first grade, but he''s never properly attended a single day of school. He can''t even read the basic phonics. As for Little Lang, I''m afraid there''s something wrong with his brain. He''s so stupid, always biting people and causing trouble in the vige." Fearing Chen Men wouldn''t believe her, Zhou''s Mother added, "Your elder sister-inw must have told you about this."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother was also Chen Degong''s mother-inw.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
However, the elder brother was upright and although he had married the elder sister-inw, he always thought his mother-inw was not a good person and rarely interacted with her family.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The elder sister-inw feared her husband and followed his words. Living far away in the countryside, she was considered a distant rtive and didn''t meddle in this family''s affairs due to the distance.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But the elder sister-inw had indeed mentioned that Little Wang and Little Lang were good-for-nothing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The children were powerless, and with adults speaking of them this way, what could they do?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Chen Men made noment, gesturing for Little Wang toe in, telling him to go inside first.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But Little Wang, like his father, was a child who noticed things that needed to be done. Seeing two new schoolbags soaking in a basin, he went to wash them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Though she was his grandmother, Chen Men could still be polite to Zhou''s Mother, but Little Wang wasn''t polite at all. As he lifted the washing basin, he tried to avoid his grandmother. Being small, he couldn''t carry it steadily, and identally spilled a bit of water on his grandmother''s foot.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Despite Zhou''s Mother smiling so brightly at Chen Men, the moment a drop of water identally sshed on her foot, she exploded. She reached out to grab Little Wang''s ear: "You useless thing, you can''t do anything right. Let your grandmother ask you, do you listen to your new mother at home?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Zhou''s Mother immediately grabbed Chen Men''s hand in return, her eyes darting around: "I heard you got a construction project?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Chen Men instantly understood the old woman''s intentions.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Her elder brother was currently managing the construction project for her.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But the elder brother didn''t even call the second brother, he just hired people to build the building himself, so he definitely wouldn''t have told his brother-inw and mother-inw about this matter. Besides, he had only been to Yanguan Vige once and had been living at the construction site ever since, so Zhou''s Mother hadn''t seen him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother must have heard about her construction project from the elder sister-inw.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She wanted toe and get a piece of the pie, no wonder she smiled like a flower as soon as she entered the door, and was desperate to bad-mouth Little Wang and Little Lang.

Sure enough, Zhou''s Mother opened her mouth and went straight to the project: "Construction projects aren''t easy to manage. Even a small construction site costs money. The cook''s job, whether to use more or less oil, it''s all a skill. Managing people is also a skill. If you don''t have a tough foreman, all the workers will ck off on you."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"What do you mean, Auntie?" Chen Men wasughing coldly inside, but still asked.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother moved even closer: "My son used to be a supervisor on other construction sites. He dared to whip the workers. He''s better at managing people than your elder brother. My daughter-inw is an excellent cook. Men, I''m only saying this because we''re family. Let your elder brother go back home to farm, and hand over your construction site to my son and daughter-inw."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This old woman was ruthless enough. Just to get some benefits, she was even willing to tarnish Chen Degong''s reputation. That was her son-inw, after all. If her son-inw earned money, wouldn''t her daughter spend it too?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Alright, why don''t you have your son start working now? And your daughter-inw, when can she start?" Chen Men said calmly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother didn''t expect Chen Men to be so agreeable. She was ted: "Today is fine. My son happens to be free recently and is looking for work."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The lonely child sat on a small stool, originally with his back to Chen Men, washing the schoolbags.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

This child was confused by everything that had happened today. He hadn''t expected his grandmother toe to the door with a smile.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

In that moment, the child felt he didn''t know Chen Men anymore. He even felt that, from the bottom of her heart, she had never wanted him from the first day.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
His father was the same, just as Zhou Xueqin had said: "You think your father is any better? If he''s so good, why didn''t hee home for so many years? Why didn''t he be a contractor and get rich?

Little Wang had always known that no one loved him and Little Lang. They were just unwanted burdens.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But just then, Chen Men added: "Auntie, you don''t have a job either, right? I heard your family owes quite a bit of debt and needs money. There''s a really good job at my construction site that needs you to do."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Little Wang shed two tears, but Zhou''s Mother was overjoyed, almost jumping up: "What job? Tell me."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"No one''s cleaning the toilets. You can help me clean them," Chen Men said calmly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother, who had been happily jumping up, nearly tripped in anger: "You actually want me to clean toilets?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"We''re all family. If I use you, I won''t have to pay wages, and you''ll definitely help me do the job well, right?" Chen Men said matter-of-factly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhou''s Mother felt something was off. What did she mean by not paying wages?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

"You just said Little Wang was useless and Little Lang had brain problems. But Yan Zhao told me that his two sons are both excellent, each more promising than the other," Chen Men immediately countered.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"That''s because they''re Yan Zhao''s own children, of course he dotes on them." The old woman was confused by Chen Men''s words, but then realized something was wrong: "My grandsons are just two plump boys, I love them very much in my heart. Otherwise, why would I let my son help you look after the construction site?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But she was anxious, while Chen Men wasn''t. She immediately said: "Right, so for the sake of raising your two big grandsons, hurry up and go to the construction site to work for me. Bring your own food, I don''t provide meals."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Don''t get too cocky, Chen Men. Little Lang and Little Wang are Xueqin''s children. If you keep this up, we''ll go to court. You can keep Little Wang with Yan Zhao, but we must take Little Lang.

She had finally shown her true colors.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Just then, Zhaodi and Little Lang came over for water. Zhou''s Mother smiled and went to greet them: "Little Lang, it''s grandma."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

But Little Lang looked at Zhou''s Mother, paused for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Wolf grandma, rat poison!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
And as soon as Zhou''s Mother reached out her hand, Little Lang bit it, mping down and not letting go.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Ugh, this little wolf cub, why does he still love to bite people?" Zhou''s Mother panicked and shook her hand, nearly flinging Little Lang off.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Little Lang had a mouthful of saliva, hanging from his grandmother''s hand. Chen Men had to pull him back.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
As she wiped the child''s mouth, Chen Men calmly said: "Auntie, raising children isn''t a one-person job. Yan Zhao works hard every day, leaving early and returningte to earn money to support our big family. What''s it all for? It''s so that I can take good care of his two sons. But his sry isn''t enough, so your family must provide monthly living expenses for the children.

As soon as she said this, Little Wang''s face turned pale.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
However, Chen Men immediately winked at him, indicating that she was just trying to scare Zhou''s Mother.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Little Wang, however, crouched back down on the ground and began rubbing the two new schoolbags.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
After rubbing for a while, he looked up at Chen Men, smiled, then lowered his head again.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Just like his father, this little rascal was particrly good at household chores. When washing schoolbags and shoes, the biggest fear is not cleaning them thoroughly and leaving water marks.

On the two schoolbags, Little Wang deliberately pinched and pulled here and there on Yuanyuan''s She-Ra while it was still wet, shaping it nice and square.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Just now his grandmother said this kid likes to skip school, but Chen Men didn''t quite believe it. She decided to use this as a starting point to have a good chat with him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Your grandmother was just making things up, right? Our Little Wang doesn''t skip school, does he?" Chen Men said.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The result was a big surprise, as Little Wang seriously replied: "Actually, I don''t want to go to school at all.

In her previous life, although Little Lang was always sickly, he was said to be a bit more promising in his studies than Little Wang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Although in Zhou Xueqin''s eyes he would eventually be an ungrateful wretch, he was after all younger than Little Wang, and his personality wasn''t fully formed yet. If the child grew up to be good-looking, Zhou Xueqin would definitely be tempted to take him back.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
No matter what Zhou Xueqin was like now, the fact remained that she had given birth to two sons during Yan Zhao''s military service, and it was also a fact that she had only seen her husband three or four times in a full eight years.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
If one day she really came to take Little Lang back, using the hardship of living as a grass widow for seven or eight years to pressure them, what would Yan Zhao do?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Would he relent and send Little Lang back?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Meanwhile, at Chen Men''s small construction site, in order to ensure good quality, they used the highest grade of cement. Working diligently, she built the small canteen to be as sturdy as a bunker.

She was determined that there was absolutely no way she would send Little Lang back. In a while, she needed to have a good talk with Yan Zhao about this matter.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

A st of water from the hose to his head, ather of soap, another rinse with the tap water, and a shake of his head - Yan Zhao was refreshed and clean.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
However, upon hearing that his former mother-inw had visited, Yan Zhao immediately turned off the faucet, his brows furrowing: "Yan Wangqi, are you a man or not? Why didn''t you call me right away?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Although Yan Zhao had made Little Wang memorize his office phone number the first time his mother-inw came, and had repeatedly instructed Little Wang to call him immediately if his grandmother or uncle''s bunch dared to approach him privately, the child had never relied on his father before.

Moreover, his grandmother hadn''te secretly; she had arrived openly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Yan Zhao turned to look at Chen Men through the kitchen window. Hearing the father and son argue, she was actually smiling, her cheeks pink, shaking her head as she smiled.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The most important point was that for remarried couples, the biggest fear is the ex showing up to cause trouble, endlessly nagging and fussing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
