A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 100 Stop arguing! Stop arguing! That auntie is bleeding!

"Yes."

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao described everything he had seen.

"That's quite rare, to be able to command orcas," Commander Song said with a smile, stroking his chin.

"I'd really like to see."

"But there are many strange things in this world. Some people are born with a great affinity for animals. It's a gift from God. Okay, I understand. How are those children doing? Have you found their families?"

Before Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao could speak, someone outside shouted "Report!"

"Enter."

"Commander Song, one of the children rescued yesterday specifically asked to see you."

"see me?"

"Yes, he also said your name."

Commander Song's expression changed. Damn it, could there be any of his relatives' children among these kids?

"Take me to see it quickly!"

When Commander Song saw the child's appearance, he gasped in shock.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing here?!"

They were even captured by human traffickers!
Fu Mingyu pursed her lips and called out, "Uncle Song."

"Could you please notify my grandfather? Don't notify my father."

Commander Song realized what was happening and nodded: "Xiao Yu, how are you? If something happens to you, Commander Fu will tear the whole house down."

Fu Mingyu lowered his head and said, "I'm fine."

"Commander, this child has a high fever, and the doctor said he has a lung infection."

"Make sure he is cured, and also, have someone prepare food for him."

"Yes!"

After making arrangements for Fu Mingyu, Commander Song hurriedly left to make a phone call.

…………

We were going to my maternal grandmother's house, so naturally we started preparing early in the morning.

The seafood would probably die before it even reached the halfway point if carried that far, so it had to be prepared in advance.

They are either dried fish, or they are pickled or cooked.

The little green dragon ultimately chose to be raw and marinated because Yun Jiao liked it.

Cut the meat into evenly sized pieces and put them in the marinade. In addition to this small lobster, other things are also put in a piece for raw marinating, such as mantis shrimp, crabs, etc., all put in one jar.

By the time they were brought to my grandmother's house, they were already well-marinated.

To avoid the sweltering heat, they left before dawn.

When they arrived at Shenjia Village, the sun had only just risen.

When they arrived at the Shen family home, Grandma Shen and her family were already busy picking corn early in the morning.

During the busy farming season, everyone in the village works from dawn till dusk to ensure their family's food supply for the year.

Shen Yunlian said to Yun Linhai, "You take the eldest brother and the others to help husk corn. Jiaojiao, Xiao Jiu, and I will cook at home."

"You know all about the land at home, right?"

There were no more bamboo baskets at home. Yun Linhai nodded, "I know."

He took a few children and went up the mountain empty-handed.

Shen Yunlian found the key hidden in the house, opened the door, and started bustling around.

Yun Jiao and Yun Xiao Jiu went to the yard to pick vegetables together.

Before long, smoke rose from the Shen family's chimney.

Yun Jiao picked a cucumber, broke it in two, and handed the other section to Ninth Brother.

Two children sat on small stools, munching on melon seeds and breaking off bean twigs.

"Jiaojiao, can you teach me the song you sang last time?"

Yun Jiao ate some melon and spoke much more slowly: "It's the song that's being sung along with that loudspeaker."

"But why do I always sing it wrong, and I think you sing it better?"

Yun Jiao said with a hint of pride, "That's right, my voice is beautiful."

They were discussing singing techniques when suddenly a commotion came from next door. Yun Jiao: Let me see, let me see what's going on.

She grabbed a small stool, ran to the wall, placed it down, and then climbed up to pull herself up – all in one smooth motion.

Yun Jiao carefully peeked out only the part of her head above her eyes.

Yun Xiaojiu had also become a bit gossipy because of Yun Jiao, and she moved her little stool over there as well.

The two boys stood on tiptoe on the stool, peeking around furtively.

“Mom, I know you usually favor the third son. He is the younger brother and I am the eldest brother in the family. I can tolerate that, but what about now? There are two pregnant women in the family. The third son's wife is only three months pregnant, and my wife is about to give birth.”

You've made my wife wash all the clothes for everyone in the house, but at least give her something to eat. She's heavily pregnant and busy doing chores, and she hasn't even had a sip of water yet.

The third son's wife was sleeping and resting inside, and you even cooked eggs for her but didn't give my wife a single bite! Do you even consider me your son?!

"What are you saying?"

In the courtyard, the old woman, the man's mother, was glaring at him.

"How could I not give her any food? Besides, the third son's wife has a stomachache. She's only just settled into her pregnancy, so we can't neglect her. Your wife's pregnancy is already stable."

Besides, she's already had two girls, so I bet this one will be another girl too. Why bother raising her so delicately? And how tiring could washing clothes be? What family's wife is so precious?

When I was pregnant with you, I still went to work in the fields. Now, for your wife's sake, you're blaming me, your mother. Was it your wife who instigated this?!

"Okay, the third brother's wife has a stomachache. What about the third brother? He only carried a few baskets before coming back to lie down."

"He has a headache."

This is clearly biased.

Yun Jiao pursed her lips, then suddenly noticed that the heavily pregnant woman's face was deathly pale, and blood was flowing from between her legs.

But everyone was arguing and didn't notice anything unusual about her.

Yun Jiao: "Stop arguing! Stop arguing! That auntie is bleeding!"

Yun Jiao suddenly spoke up, her small voice surprisingly loud, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

The man quickly picked up his wife when he saw her condition.

"Second brother, go quickly and fetch a midwife!"

"Da Ya, go and fetch the barefoot doctor to take a look at your mother."

The neighborhood immediately erupted into chaos.

Seeing this, Yun Jiao stopped watching the show, turned around and jumped off the stool.

Then she discovered that her mother was standing behind her with a spatula.

"What are you two doing?"

Yun Jiao chattered on and on about what was happening next door.

Shen Yunlian sighed.

"That old woman always favored the younger one. The eldest son's wife had two daughters in a row, so the old lady disliked the eldest son's wife even more."

Yun Jiao didn't understand: "Why do they all prefer boys, but it's different in our family?"

Everyone in their family loves her.

Shen Yunlian patted her little head.

"Because everyone says that raising a son is for old age security, and only a son can carry on the family line."

Yun Jiao didn't understand: "Isn't it women who give birth? Then it's women who carry on the family line."

"You're too early to know these things. In our family, we treat boys and girls the same, and we love them both."

This is true.

Although there were many children in the family, Shen Yunlian and the others did not show particular favoritism towards any of them.

Everyone has been favored when they were young, like Yun Xiaojiu now.

When he gets older, he will receive the same treatment as his older brothers.

As for Yun Jiao, as the only girl in the family and the youngest, although the elders favored her, they did not mistreat the other children.

Her brothers, feeling that they were the older brothers, showed her more favoritism.

Gradually, she received more and more favoritism.

This isn't one person showing favoritism; everyone is showing favoritism towards her, so there's no issue of unfair treatment.
