My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

She took Ruan Tinghe's hand and patted it gently.

"Xiao He, it's not safe for you to stay out with the child. Why don't you come stay at my house? I have plenty of rooms."

Ruan Tinghe declined, embarrassed, "That's too much trouble, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Qin interrupted her sternly, "What trouble is there? You're Aze's savior! And the moment I saw you, I felt an instant connection with you. If it weren't for the fact that we only have boys in our family, I'd almost suspect you're our lost granddaughter!"

"It's settled then! Besides, my eldest grandson is a department head at the hospital, so it'll be convenient for you to take your child to see the doctor!"

"This..." Ruan Tinghe looked at the three little ones. She originally just wanted Yin Quan to remember her favor so that she could ask for a favor if they met at the hospital another day.

I didn't expect Grandma Qin to be so enthusiastic.

Seeing her hesitation, Grandma Qin continued to tempt her, "We live in a residential compound with security guards patrolling every day. It's very safe there. You and your child will be safe living in the compound!"

"Besides, there's a school in the compound. I see your child is about three or four years old, right? It will be very convenient for him to go to school and make friends in the future."

"The compound isn't far from the hospital; it only takes half an hour to get there by bicycle."

Aze also moved closer and said softly, "Sister, stay here."

Ruan Tinghe recalled the knowledge she had learned in her previous life: the college entrance examination would be reinstated in 1977, which would be the following year, and the education order would be rebuilt and take off rapidly.

The children definitely need to go to school, and Grandma Qin is right, the family compound is much safer than outside. With the children in the compound, she can go out to earn money with more peace of mind.

"Okay, but I won't stay for free; I can pay rent."

"Why bother with rent? The house is just sitting empty anyway."

"Rent is a must, otherwise I'll just stay outside."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Seeing Ruan Tinghe's determination, Grandma Qin finally agreed to charge the rent at the lowest market price.

Yin Quan remained silent throughout, because he knew that nothing he said would matter in front of his grandmother.

However, his gaze toward Ruan Tinghe became even more indifferent. Although he was a doctor, his father held an important position in the military region, and several of his uncles were also soldiers, so it was inevitable that they would be targeted by enemy agents.

She'd better not be an enemy agent!

Once in the car, Yin Ze sat in the passenger seat, while Grandma Qin and Ruan Tinghe sat in the back with the child.

This wasn't Ruan Tinghe's first time riding in a car in the 1970s, but it was the first time she had ever ridden in such a clean car.

There was no unpleasant smell inside the car, and the seats and windows were all wiped clean.

The car is very well maintained; judging by the model, it must have been expensive.

She used to think that Grandma Qin and Yin Ze were poor and pitiful people, but now it seems that she and the children are the most pitiful!

The Yin family lives in a residential compound; they own a car, a house, and even have a hospital director…

I've just arrived in Shanghai and I've already struck it lucky, running into a wealthy and powerful family! Everything is going in a good direction! Xiao Bao's treatment will also go smoothly.

Ruan Tinghe was full of hope for the future, and before she knew it, the car had entered the family compound.

Grandma Qin led Ruan Tinghe and the child to a room on the second floor. The wooden door creaked open, and a cloud of dust billowed out.

Ruan Tinghe quickly covered her mouth and nose and closed her eyes. The three little ones followed suit, covering their mouths and noses and looking curiously into the room.

The room is about 30 square meters in size and is fully furnished with a bed, a double-door wardrobe, a square table, several stools, and two kettles in the corner.

"Xiao He, why don't you stay in this room with the child, is that alright?"

Ruan Tinghe was very satisfied; the house had exceeded her expectations.

"Of course, thank you Grandma Qin."

"I'm glad you don't mind. Please put your luggage down first, and I'll show you the other rooms..."

Next, Grandma Qin took Ruan Tinghe to the kitchen, living room, bathroom...

"The room on the left on the first floor is where A-Quan lives. His grandfather and I live in the room on the right, and A-Ze lives next to us. The other three rooms on the second floor are usually unoccupied, except when the children's uncles and aunts come to visit and stay for a few days."

"By the way, Xiaohe, are you brave?"

Grandma Qin suddenly grabbed Ruan Tinghe's hand and asked with some concern.

Ruan Tinghe was stunned for a moment. "What's wrong?"

She thought to herself, surely the family compound can't be haunted, right?

"Hey, Ah Quan brought back a lot of skeletons and bone clubs from the hospital. The books he often reads are also quite scary. I'm just afraid you might get scared if you accidentally see them."

"Our family and his maternal grandparents' family all served in the military, but he likes to be a doctor and studies those bone skeletons. He brings them home every day, and we don't know if they're real or fake. They're scary to look at."

Ruan Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was real or fake, she wasn't afraid. Otherwise, how could she draw a portrait of a dead person?

However, she guessed that the skulls and bones Yin Quan brought back were probably medical textbooks and were most likely not real.

"I'm not afraid. Actually, when I was in my hometown, I often drew portraits of the dead."

Ruan Tinghe had no intention of hiding her ability to make money; she might need it in the future. Rather than being discovered later, she decided to confess now.

If Grandma Qin and the Yin family mind, she can still find another place to stay.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Qin was only surprised for a moment, and then looked at Ruan Tinghe with even more pity.

She hugged Ruan Tinghe and gently patted her back, her voice filled with heartache.

"Good girl, you must have had a very difficult time before. It's alright, from now on in this compound, Grandma Qin will look after you!"

Ruan Tinghe's eyes welled up with tears, and her nose stung with emotion. This was the first time she had felt such a warm embrace since she transmigrated.

Old Chen was good to her, but there's a difference between men and women. It's completely different from being held and comforted in someone's arms now.

Ruan Tinghe raised her hand to hug Grandma Qin back, her throat tight and unable to speak.

"Cough!" Yin Quan's cold cough interrupted their embrace.

Grandma Qin glared at him: "What are you coughing for? Are you envious? Grandma will give you a hug too!"

"I checked Aze's throat, and it's not injured."

He then said to Ruan Tinghe, "Give me your identity information; I need to take it to the administrative office for registration."

Ruan Tinghe hurriedly took out her household registration book and the letter of introduction that Lao Chen had helped her obtain from her bag.

Yin Quan took it and glanced at it, then frowned. "Why are there only your name and the three children's names? Where are the others?"

Ruan Tinghe shrugged: "They're all dead."

After hearing this, Grandma Qin looked at Ruan Tinghe with even more heartache.

Yin Quan's suspicions about Ruan Tinghe intensified, and he had to find out the woman's background.

He took his things and went out.

Grandma Qin sighed helplessly, "This child has such a cold personality, how will he find a wife? He grew up with the Shen family boy, who's never home, yet he managed to get married and have a healthy baby boy. Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to hold my great-grandson!"

The Shen family?

Are there any people with the surname Shen in this residential compound? It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?

The thought had barely formed when Ruan Tinghe quickly shook her head. She was truly bewitched; even with the same surname, she could still think of someone she shouldn't be thinking about!

"Hehe, you stay home and tidy up your room first. I'm taking Aze to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Is there anything you want to buy?"

Ruan Tinghe shook her head, "No, I'll see what I need after I finish packing, and I'll buy it myself then."

"Okay, then if there's anything you need, just tell Grandma."

Grandma Qin gave a few instructions, called Yin Ze, and went out with her basket.
