After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 454, Episode 0499: Like father, like son.

"It's hard for us to understand, but if we put ourselves in their shoes and think about it from their perspective, it's not so hard to understand."

"That place is remote, and not just remote, but so remote that there isn't even a road that a car can pass through now. Before literacy became widespread, there were fewer than ten literate people in the whole village, and each of them was a highly respected figure in the village."

"There was one who could only roughly read newspapers, but at that time he was already the most educated person in the village, and all the girls in the village wanted to marry him."

"They don't have as many of the moral and ethical concepts we uphold; instead, they follow what they believe to be right."

It's tragic, but that's the truth. All they really care about is just two words—survival.

To live, and then to pass on one's lineage.

Don't ask about the succession to the throne, because they have no other expectations and don't know what else they can hope for.

They take the question of whether or not they have offspring very seriously, even more so than life itself for some.

Therefore, the inability to have children is considered by some to be the most unacceptable and shameful thing.

And to preserve one's dignity... a green hat is actually quite warm.

As for having sex with uncles or fathers-in-law, it's not a difficult thing to accept in their area, especially if the husband is infertile.

Since we're all from the same family and share the same bloodline, it's much better than borrowing from Old Wang next door.

It's tragic, but that's the reality, and it's still happening in many remote places that they can't see.

It was also their job that they didn't do a good job.

Lin Yuexi sighed silently in her heart. She understood her mother's feelings, but education was not something that could be achieved overnight, nor could it be changed by an individual at will.

Let's not even talk about the illiterate villagers in remote areas; even the soldiers, who are already quite knowledgeable, are an exception.

The old notion that M was superior to us in every technological aspect has influenced us for decades or even centuries. This has subtly led to the fact that even though we have surpassed M in some aspects of weaponry, there are still soldiers who lack confidence when facing M with the most advanced equipment.

This kind of understanding, which has been subtly ingrained in someone's soul over many years or even a lifetime, can be easily removed from their soul by a few books, a few classes, or a few speeches.
Nothing in this world is that easy.

Why did Lin Yuexi continue her research even while heavily pregnant?

Why did I develop stomach problems at only twenty-something years old?
What she wanted was to gradually dismantle the soldiers' perception that M was stronger than them through repeated comparisons.

What she wants is for our soldiers to have the confidence that the world is at their feet as long as they pick up their own equipment!

This is not something she could do alone, but she is willing to work hard for it and be a pioneer.

She doesn't know when it started, but she went from being a spectator to becoming so famous, and it feels pretty good.

Zhang Hongying was unaware of the turmoil in her daughter's heart. When the topic turned to her worries, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"To be honest, I was really scared by Sun Sanni at the time. She was really willing to go all out and give up anything."

He patted his chest with lingering fear. "He pretended to be pitiful and coaxed the nanny from Yuan's hometown into the compound. Then he recognized Yuan. Yuan was also a bit crazy. He was heartless to his son and daughter back then, but now that he's old, he feels guilty. When he heard that Sun Sanni was his granddaughter, he didn't investigate further and just arranged for her to live in the compound."

"If you really feel guilty, Yuan Honggang and Yuan Hongping are both alive and well. Shouldn't you make compensation to them?"

“That girl Sun Sanni went to look for your grandfather, but luckily he's always been here at the base. She couldn't find him, so she came to us.” Otherwise, the old man would have to lose face in front of his old friends because of his unfilial granddaughter.

Not all compounds are the same. If you had to rank places that can be called compounds, Nanhai is the top of the pyramid, the old man's place is the second level below the top, while the compound where she and Lao Leng are can only be considered to have barely squeezed into the third level. They are not at all in the same league.

Therefore, it would be much easier for Sun Sanni, who could go in and out of the old man's compound more than ten times, to enter the compound where Leng Zhi and the others lived.

The inspection process is reduced by several steps, and it would be even easier if someone who already lives in the compound accompanied them.

As for Sun Sanni, with Old Yuan as her guarantor and Old Yuan's granddaughter's friend leading the way, isn't that how she managed to cause trouble right at her doorstep?!
"It's also because your brother is useless; he's blinded by his own ignorance. If he were upright, no matter what others do, they can't harm him."

It's not that their family has no political enemies; on the contrary, they have many. Every word and action is being watched by countless eyes. If they haven't encountered any trouble, it's alright, but once they do... hehe.

Because of this, the Leng and Yuan families have now openly become enemies and have completely broken off relations.

Although the old man's compound is ostensibly filled with retired men and women, every single one of them either holds a crucial but unspoken position, possesses secrets that can influence the overall situation, or is a treasure trove of knowledge and experience.

What place is that?
It's no exaggeration to call it our national treasure.

Defense is naturally strict.

"The former security chief of the military nursing home used to be a soldier under the old man. The old man had helped him get promoted. His second wife was, by some accounts, a distant cousin of the old man, though the two families weren't connected during the census."

"It was through his connections that Old Yuan brought Sun Sanni to the military nursing home eleven times."

Zhang Hongying said seriously, "Because of you, the higher-ups are paying great attention to the security of the military nursing home, even though you haven't lived there for a long time."

"Well, Zhang Chunrong, what a pity."

Of course, he can't blame anyone else; it's his own fault for not upholding his principles.

Prior to this incident, Zhang Chunrong had passed countless tests and was a good comrade who had earned the trust and attention of his superiors.

The future looks bright!

Unfortunately, he was too arrogant, and a few words from others ruined his future.

“The Yuan family was affected even more. Your dad said that every single member of the Yuan family was counted down to the last hair on their head.”

It may be true that "if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too." When the old man abandoned his wife and children, the son he raised and valued the most did the same thing, and then his most beloved grandson also carried the same gene.

The old man's situation back then can be covered up by the problems of the times. He remarried after his wife passed away. At least from a legal point of view, he did not do anything wrong.

But his grandson became arrogant, because in addition to having a wife and children at home, he also had several other families outside.

“Yuan Hengyuan is quite capable at work. He is a police officer, and... he is only two years older than your older brother. He has already made several merits, including two second-class merits.”

Lin Yuexi instantly understood the ambiguous meaning in her mother's words, and felt a deep sense of respect in her heart!

Thinking of Yuan Hengyuan, Zhang Hongying felt both sigh and heartache, but even more so regret and disappointment.

What an excellent child! How could he make such a big mistake so quietly?
