Wenrou was happy for Tan Lin and her second brother when she learned that they were finally together.

This was the first time she had ever seen Tan Lin, who was usually so carefree, act so feminine.

Whenever her second brother is mentioned, you can see the obvious shyness in Tan Lin's eyes.

She used to not pay much attention to her appearance, and she always wore the same few outfits whenever I saw her.

Now that they're in a relationship, they've all started to consciously dress themselves up.

Since Wenrou had already discovered it, Tan Lin decided not to try to hide it anymore.

So she took Wenrou to the clothing store, and didn't forget to tell Huo Yanchuan to take good care of the two children.

"Xiaorou, what style of clothes does your second brother like? I'll wear them to show him next time." When they arrived at the clothing store, Tan Lin asked Wenrou while picking out clothes.

She smiled gently and said, "He likes you as a person. He'll definitely like any clothes you like."

Although Wenrou said that, Tan Lin still wanted to dress herself up nicely so that Wen Jinian could see her looking beautiful.

"Xiaorou, pick out a few clothes for me, I'll give them to you," Tan Lin said to Wenrou.

Wenrou knew Tan Lin meant well, and seeing how enthusiastic she was, she had no choice but to choose a dress.

"Then I thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I hope to drink your wedding wine soon," Wenrou said with a smile, holding the clothes.

Her calling her "Second Sister-in-law" made Tan Lin blush.

She said, looking embarrassed, "You...you shouldn't talk nonsense. We're not that close yet."

Wenrou understands her second brother's character well. Once he sets his mind on someone or something, he will never change his mind. However, he is easily deceived, just like in the previous incident.

"Don't worry, my second brother is probably eager to marry you too."

Hearing this, Tan Lin's lips curled slightly, and she became even more embarrassed.

"Are your parents easy to get along with?" Tan Lin asked as she walked out of the clothing store with Wenrou after paying the bill.

"My mom has some old-fashioned ideas and used to favor boys over girls, but she's changed a lot now and is much easier to get along with. My dad is even easier to get along with. Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee they'll both accept you quickly."

Wenrou never expected that Tan Lin wasn't so timid and hesitant when she was fighting against Fang Yuru and the others.

However, the reason for this was simply that she cared too much about her second brother.

Otherwise, given her personality and circumstances, she wouldn't need to please anyone at all.

After leaving the department store, Wenrou and Tanlin chatted and laughed all the way, while Huo Yanchuan followed behind with the two children.

Of course, Tan Lin didn't forget the two little girls either, and bought them a lot of toys and snacks.

She already liked the two children, but now, because of Wen Jinian, she likes them even more.

If she marries Wen Jinian in the future, Wenrou will be her sister-in-law, and the two children will have to call her aunt. They will all be family, so it's only right that she buys things for the two children.

After returning to the military compound, Huo Yanchuan had to go to his unit for some urgent business, while Wenrou and Tan Lin returned with their two children.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, they ran into Fang Yuru's younger sister, Fang Ting.

Fang Ting must have been spoiled by her family. When she first moved in, she was very arrogant in the compound because of Fang Yuru's relationship with her, and she did a lot of things to provoke Wenrou.

But now that Tan Lin has exposed Fang Yuru's shameful deeds, although she has left, Fang Ting is still living here.

Because of Fang Yuru's situation, she is now very afraid to go out.

Whenever she goes out, she always feels like someone is watching her and talking about her behind her back.

Upon seeing Wenrou and Tan Lin, Fang Ting's expression immediately changed.

She glared at them with eyes full of hatred.

She's in this state because of them.

If it weren't for them, my sister would still be living in the military compound and would never have gone to that godforsaken place, the Gobi Desert.

So now she hates Wenrou and Tanlin the most, because they ruined her good life.

She glanced gently in Fang Ting's direction, then looked away, ignoring her completely.

Tan Lin then looked at Fang Ting. The fact that Fang Ting and her husband were able to live in the military compound was entirely due to Fang Yuru's connections.

Of course, Lao Tan's influence played a part in this; without him, how could Huang Xiaojun have been transferred here?

She wasn't gentle; she always said what she meant.

She knew that neither of the Fang sisters were easy to deal with, and even though Fang Yuru was gone, she was still here.

It's impossible to make her behave herself.

So Tan Lin looked at her and warned directly, "You should know how Huang Xiaojun was transferred here. If you can live a peaceful life and not cause trouble, I'll pretend I didn't see you here. But if you want to court death, then there's nothing I can do."

Fang Ting was still thinking about how to drive Wenrou's family out of the military compound. In her opinion, Huo Yanchuan's current position should have been her husband's.

The house where Wenrou's family lives should also belong to them.

But at that moment, Tan Lin seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

Upon hearing her warnings, Fang Ting's expression visibly stiffened.

"Tan Lin, what do you mean by this? Don't think that just because you broke up my sister's family, you can do whatever you want. This is a military compound, not your home."

Fang Ting was furious with Tan Lin, her hands clenched into fists as she glared at her fiercely.

Tan Lin snorted coldly, "Stop pretending. You and your sister are the same. What do you mean I broke up Fang Yuru's family? I have no objection to her marrying Lao Tan, but who told her to have affairs with other men after marriage, cheating on Lao Tan and making him raise someone else's daughter for nothing all these years?"

Tan Lin's voice was not quiet. Originally, this matter had been over for so long that people in the compound no longer discussed it much.

Because of Fang Ting, she has now been brought up again by Tan Lin.

At this moment, the others who heard the noise also peeked out and looked in their direction.

Fang Ting's face grew even uglier. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, she knew she was in the wrong and could only slink home.

After watching her leave, Tan Lin withdrew her gaze and then gently warned Wenrou, "You must be careful of Fang Ting, that scoundrel. She's even more vicious than her sister. Back then, in her fight for Huang Xiaojun, she caused her then-fiancée to be unable to conceive for the rest of her life."

Although Tan Lin was not in Beijing, she knew about what was happening here.

She nodded gently. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Speaking of this, Tan Lin continued, "I don't know if it's karma, but Fang Ting has been married to Huang Xiaojun for so many years and still hasn't gotten pregnant. She's seen many doctors over the years."

Wenrou didn't comment on the matter, treating it as just gossip.

Tan Lin didn't stay at Wenrou's house for long; she went home after dinner.

It would take another six months or so for the transport team to finish trimming it, so Wen Jinian would visit Tan Lin whenever he had time.

Every time he went over, all he could do was cook for Tan Lin, help her clean her house, or buy her any nice clothes he saw and bring them over as gifts.

Of course, he could never stay long before he had to leave again, because Wen Jinian always felt indebted to Tan Lin for this matter.

"I'm sorry, Linlin. Once I'm done with this, I'll take you to meet my family. I'll make sure you live a good life."

Wen Jinian was also clumsy with words and couldn't say anything sweet.

However, Tan Lin liked his down-to-earth nature.

She nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

When Wen Jinian left, Tan Lin hugged him tightly, feeling extremely reluctant to part with him.

Wen Jinian had no choice but to hug and kiss her to calm her down before turning and leaving.

Whenever Wenrou had time, she would go to the transport team to check on the progress.

She also felt sorry for her second brother. She had to take care of two children and sometimes she really couldn't leave, so she could only trouble Wen Jinian.

Because of this, we can only ask Tan Lin to make the sacrifice.

They had finally gotten together and were deeply in love, so Wenrou always felt guilty about breaking them up.

Besides this, there was another good thing: with Peng Shao's help, Hao Gang's prosthetic leg was installed very successfully.

After several months of practice, he is now gradually able to walk like a normal person.

Peng Xiaowan is going to university, and Hao Gang is also helping Wenrou with the transportation team's affairs.

Peng Shao simply hired a nanny to take care of the child and Professor Peng.

Peng Xiaowan usually lives at school and only has time to go back to see her child on weekends.

Although it was a bit tiring for her to run between the two places, she felt happier than ever before.

Now, not only has her wish come true, but she also has a happy and fulfilling family with her family members by her side. She feels that she is the happiest person now.

She had just arrived home and was about to go inside to check on her child when she saw a figure come out from inside.

"Oh, Xiao Wan is back."

Peng Xiaowan was taken aback when she saw who it was, then her expression changed slightly and she called out, "Mom."

The person who came was Ma Qiuying, Hao Gang's mother.

Because of what happened before, Peng Xiaowan and she had a significant conflict.

Peng Xiaowan hadn't seen her since she left the family compound last time, and she never expected to see her here at this time.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she entered the house.

Hao Gang was still busy with the transportation team during this time, and Peng Xiaowan didn't want him to travel back and forth, so she let him stay there.

He only recently got his prosthetic leg installed. If he comes too often, it will cause him to run around and put a lot of wear and tear on his residual limb.

"I found out from someone else. Gangzi didn't want to tell me where you and the child lived, so I had to find out myself."

With a smile on her face, Ma Qiuying went into the house and brought the child out.

"Why did you pay for a nanny? I can do all the work she does. I'll stay here to take care of you and the child and I won't go back."

Ma Qiuying continued talking to herself without consulting Peng Xiaowan at all.

The nanny standing to the side looked rather grim. She glanced at Peng Xiaowan, then at Ma Qiuying.

She was doing her job well when suddenly someone came along saying they wanted to replace her and that they wanted to fire her.

Ever since Ma Qiuying came in, she's been constantly harassing her, which would make anyone unhappy.

Peng Xiaowan naturally noticed this as well, and she said to the nanny, "Aunt Wang, you go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of things here."

After spending so much time together, she knows the nanny, Aunt Wang, well, so she trusts her completely now.

Besides, Aunt Wang was found by her brother. She is reliable and meticulous, and takes good care of the children and the elderly. She is very satisfied and of course can't bear to fire her.

Professor Peng has been experiencing some minor health issues these past few days and needs to be hospitalized, so he is not currently at home.

After Peng Xiaowan finished speaking, Aunt Wang went to do her own work, leaving only her and Ma Qiuying behind.

She changed her shoes, walked over, and took the child from Ma Qiuying's arms.

Then he looked at her and said, "Mom, we don't need you here. Aunt Wang is enough."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went into her room.

Since there were no more rooms available in the house, Ma Qiuying was thinking of kicking the nanny out so she could live in the nanny's room.

Upon hearing Peng Xiaowan's words, Ma Qiuying naturally refused.

"What are you saying? How can you say you don't need me? You're my daughter-in-law, and the child you're holding in your arms is my precious grandson. We're family. With me taking care of you, what need do we have for a nanny?"

Still somewhat unwilling to give up, she thought that Peng Xiaowan might still be angry with her because of what had happened before, so she apologized: "Xiaowan, Mom made mistakes before, and I'm sorry, but I've changed now. I promise to take good care of you and the child from now on, and I won't be like before."

Ever since Ma Qiuying learned that her son and daughter-in-law had come to Beijing, she had been determined to come as well.

However, Hao Gang refused to tell her the address, and she finally found out where Peng Xiaowan lived after making many inquiries.

Peng Xiaowan was the top student in the city, which brought honor to her family.

Now, when people in the village talk about this, everyone says that Gangzi married a good wife.

"I'll say it again, we don't need you here. Here's fifty yuan, enough for you to stay at the guesthouse and have fun in Beijing for a few days. Once you've had your fun, go back."

Peng Xiaowan's complexion wasn't very good either; she was no longer the Peng Xiaowan who could be bullied by everyone.

Ma Qiuying's attempt to manipulate her is futile.

"You..." Ma Qiuying's expression changed instantly when she heard Peng Xiaowan's words and saw the money in her hand.

Before she could say anything more, she saw the door open.

When Peng Shao returned, he also saw Ma Qiuying.

"Who are you?"

Ma Qiuying didn't know much about Peng Xiaowan's family situation. She only knew that Peng Xiaowan had lost her parents and thought she was easy to manipulate. However, she didn't know that Peng Xiaowan had Peng Shao, a future business tycoon, backing her up.

Peng Shao glanced at Ma Qiuying, then heard Peng Xiaowan introduce her, "This is Hao Gang's mother."

Then, with a cold expression, she introduced him to Ma Qiuying: "He is my brother, and the house I'm living in now belongs to my uncle, so I can't let you stay here."

After hearing Peng Xiaowan's introduction, Peng Shao's expression immediately turned cold.

He stared at Ma Qiuying, his eyes filled with coldness. "Was it you who bullied our Xiaowan before?"
