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

After returning to the family compound, as soon as I arrived at the Yin family's door, I saw a pile of things outside the door.

Eggs, green vegetables, pork, sausage...

It's all food.

"Why are there so many things at the door? Who put them there?" Grandma Qin looked at Ruan Tinghe with suspicion.

Ruan Tinghe shook her head. "It wasn't there when I left."

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from this direction. Looking up, one could see a woman in her thirties or forties dragging a boy of about seven or eight years old as she hurried toward them.

"Old Mrs. Yin!" The woman approached, a kind smile tinged with embarrassment on her face.

Ruan Tinghe didn't recognize her, but the child she was holding was one of the bullies who had harassed the three little ones yesterday.

Liang Yali shoved her son forward and scolded him sternly, "What are you standing there for? Apologize!"

The boy clutched his clothes in front of him with both hands, timidly looked up at Ruan Tinghe, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ruan Tinghe was just looking at him calmly and did not seem to be about to hit him.

He bowed to Yin Ze and the three little ones, bowing his head and apologizing, "I'm sorry."

Before Ruan Tinghe and the others could react, Liang Yali got angry and slapped the little boy on the bottom.

She snapped angrily, "Sorry what? Explain yourself! Your father is a hero who fought bad guys on the battlefield, how come you can't even apologize properly!"

The boy flinched as he was hit, tears falling onto his toes.

Then I heard him shout loudly, "I'm sorry! I did something wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have bullied Brother Ze, and I shouldn't have bullied Da Bao, Er Bao, and Xiao Bao!"

Taking the opportunity, Liang Yali handed over a gift: a heavy pig's trotter and a package wrapped in oil paper. Although she couldn't see what was inside, she could smell the aroma of sesame seed cakes.

Liang Yali said with remorse, "Hello, comrade, my name is Liang Yali, and this is my son, Zhang Xiaolong."

"I only found out about the fight yesterday after I got home from work. This kid is spoiled by his grandma and can't tell right from wrong; he's being used as a pawn!"

"But a mistake is a mistake! You can discipline the child as you see fit, whether you want to hit or scold him! Just leave him alive!"

Ruan Tinghe raised her hand and slapped the little boy hard. Liang Yali's pupils contracted in fright, and she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, but she did not stop her.

She was clearly sincere in apologizing and determined to hand Xiaolong over to Ruan Tinghe for a lesson.

Just as the slap was about to land on the child's head, Ruan Tinghe withdrew her hand.

"Grandma Qin, what do you think we should do about this?"

With elders present, Ruan Tinghe naturally had no intention of making the decision; she had only wanted to test Liang Yali's sincerity.

Grandma Qin looked at the gauze on Yin Ze's forehead with heartache. Although A Ze was seriously injured, he had bumped into something after being locked up, and it was difficult to find out which child had locked him up.

Zhang Xiaolong in front of us is at most an accomplice.

So he asked Yin Ze, "Ze, you were bullied yesterday, do you want to fight back?"

Yin Ze simply shook his head, "No, it will hurt."

Grandma Qin sighed. Aze was just too soft-hearted and kind, which made him all the more pitiful.

"Then are you willing to forgive Xiaolong?" Grandma Qin asked again.

Yin Ze looked at the three little ones with a blank expression, seemingly not understanding what forgiveness meant.

The three children looked at Ruan Tinghe with confusion, seemingly waiting for her to make a decision for them.

Ruan Tinghe said to the three children, "You can decide your own affairs."

The three children looked at Zhang Xiaolong, who was much older than them but trembling with fear, and finally nodded.

"We forgive you, but you are not allowed to bully other children again."

Zhang Xiaolong raised his tear-streaked face and said, "I will never dare to do it again."

Yin Ze copied him, grinning, and said, "We forgive you, but you're not allowed to bully other children in the future!"

"Mmm!" Zhang Xiaolong nodded, choking back tears, and cautiously looked at his mother.

Liang Yali breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for not blaming Xiaolong. I'll definitely punish him properly when I get back! I won't let him eat!"

"Children still need to eat," Ruan Tinghe disagreed.

"Yes, yes, then I'll punish him..." Liang Yali hesitated, not knowing what to punish him with. Usually, when her child did something wrong, she would either hit him, scold him, or not allow him to eat.

Besides these, what else can be punished?

Da Bao's eyes lit up: "Make him do his homework as punishment!"

Liang Yali asked in confusion, "Homework?"

Erbao replied, "It's about practicing calligraphy and learning pinyin, it's really difficult."

"What?" Liang Yali exclaimed in surprise, "Such a young child is already learning to read?"

Her son, let alone being able to read, hasn't even attended school for more than a few days.

Da Bao proudly raised his chin, "Of course! I already know three hundred characters! Er Bao is a little behind, only knowing a little over a hundred. Xiao Bao is the best, over five hundred!"

Xiao Bao can't speak, but she can write, and she's really good at it.

This shocked not only Liang Yali, but also Grandma Qin.

This little toddler, who is just over three years old, actually knows so many words!

Liang Yali immediately made a decision: "Grandma, ladies, you see, I'm usually busy with work, and my child's grandmother doesn't know how to raise him. Xiaolong's personality is almost out of control. Do you think I could let Xiaolong come and play with your child?"

This is the Yin family's residence, and Ruan Tinghe has no say in the matter, so she looks to Grandma Qin.

Grandma Qin wanted the children to have more friends, so she naturally agreed: "Sure, but let me make this clear beforehand: if your Xiaolong continues to behave like those bullies, I'll kick him out."

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't let him go astray again!"

Liang Yali was overjoyed. The school in the family compound had not yet reopened. Other families had adults teaching their children to read and write, but her husband had died young, and her husband was on the front lines. Neither she nor her mother-in-law could read.

So her child is so old and still can't read. She's afraid that her child won't even be able to write their own name in the future, and won't be able to join the army if they want to!

Now everything is alright, the heavy burden on my mind has been put to rest.

"Okay, I'll have Xiaolong clean your house for three months! Consider it an apology! Don't refuse! Children need to be punished for their mistakes, otherwise they'll make the same mistake again!"

"Also, Xiaolong's tuition fees can't be reduced! We can't let the children be taught for nothing."

Liang Yali took out a stack of large denomination bills, which looked to be forty or fifty yuan.

He shoved it all at Ruan Tinghe: "Comrade Ruan, you have to accept this! Otherwise, I'll climb over the wall in the middle of the night and put it by your bedside!"

Ruan Tinghe's lips twitched. Did it have to be this scary?

"Then I'll accept it." Ruan Tinghe accepted the money and then divided it among the three children. This was the tuition fee the children had earned, and it was only right that it belonged to the children.

Liang Yali then took out a box of face cream from her pocket.

"And this too, the Shen family delivered this yesterday, and my mother-in-law accepted it. Now I'm giving it back to you! From now on, our family will be sworn enemies with the Shen family!"

Grandma Qin said with a stern face, "No need. From now on, we'll get along as we always have. Our Yin family and the Shen family have been friends for generations. We won't sever ties over such a small matter."

"As for Hehe..." Grandma Qin looked at Ruan Tinghe meaningfully. She had heard from Yin Quan about Shen Yan's special feelings for Ruan Tinghe and wondered who might be Shen Yan's wife in the future.

That Ruan Jiaojiao is obviously no good. Shen Yan isn't blind!

Grandma Qin didn't mind, so how could Ruan Tinghe, an outsider staying temporarily, possibly ruin the relationship between the Yin and Shen families?

As for the conflict between her and Ruan Jiaojiao and her son, that was a personal grudge.

She settles scores with other unruly kids on the spot, and she's always ready to fight any other parents who want to cause trouble.

Ruan Tinghe was very accommodating and said, "Let bygones be bygones. I only hope that the children can get along peacefully in the future."

"Peaceful coexistence is good, peaceful coexistence is good!" Liang Yali was the one who most wanted peaceful coexistence, and immediately appreciated Ruan Tinghe's magnanimity and understanding.

"After my son goes home for dinner, he'll come and play with your child."

Liang Yali stuffed the pig's trotters and sesame cakes into Ruan Tinghe's hands, then turned and left.
