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

As soon as Ruan Tinghe lifted the curtain and went to the other side, Da Bao immediately leaned close to Er Bao's ear with a sly grin and asked curiously.

"Little brother, is it fun in the pond?"

Da Bao also wanted to go down and play, but he was still haggling with the lotus root seller when he turned around and the two little ones ran into the pond.

After he bought the lotus roots, he was afraid that someone would steal them after he put them in the pond, so he could only watch them longingly from the shore.

The pond had been drained clean, leaving only a thick layer of silt.

Many adults and children were inside, catching snails, fishing, and shrimp.

Erbao and Xiaobao are short and not very strong, so they fell down after only a few steps.

After being discovered by the adults, he was immediately taken to the table.

They were afraid the two of them would be buried in the mud.

Erbao exclaimed happily, "It's so much fun! I also..."

He stopped abruptly, then mischievously craned his neck to hear the sound of running water from a shower on the other side of the curtain before pulling his older brother closer.

He lowered his voice and said, "I also caught something fun."

As he spoke, he pulled a watch from his muddy pocket.

After rinsing the watch with water, I discovered that it was completely tattered, with the movement of the watch exposed.

Da Bao was a little disappointed: "It's broken."

"Even if it's broken, it's still useful. I've never painted a watch before."

Da Bao: Oh no! I forgot my little brother is a drawing fanatic.

Seeing that her older brother was not interested, Erbao remembered something else.

"When we came back, I heard someone say that a poisonous snake had been found in the pond! Uncle Section Chief Li hasn't returned yet, so no one dares to go down and catch it!"

Da Bao's eyes lit up!

"Will they give you money after you catch them?"

Erbao thought for a moment, then nodded and shook his head: "I don't know."

Da Bao, however, made up his mind.

He needs to make money too!

"What are you two whispering about?!"

Ruan Tinghe heard that there was no sound of water coming from this side, and fearing that they would not take a bath obediently, she quickly came over to take a look.

The two little ones were so frightened that they quickly grabbed towels and tried to soak themselves in the water.

Ruan Tinghe felt more and more that not having a showerhead was so inconvenient. Why not find an opportunity to have a craftsman make one?

"Be a good girl and take a bath. If there's any stain that won't come off, call for Mommy, okay?"

"Okay, Mom!"

The two little ones stuck out their tongues and started poking each other in the blanket.

Ruan Tinghe returned to the other side, only to see Xiao Bao squatting in front of the dirty clothes, his little hands, which she had washed clean, now covered in mud again.

Her little face was covered in mud again.

"Xiao Bao!"

Ruan Tinghe put her hands on her hips and stared helplessly at Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao chuckled and pulled a round, large stone from his pocket.

"You've been picking up stones again?"

Xiao Bao shook his head and rinsed the mud off the "stone" with water, revealing a smooth and round pearl!

"This is a pearl?" Ruan Tinghe asked in disbelief, taking it and examining it in her hands. "It really is a pearl, and it's a uniform purple color. Where did it come from?"

Xiao Bao tried to pull her away, but Ruan Tinghe quickly pulled her back.

"Let's talk after I shower!"

"Mmm!" Xiao Bao nodded, like a rag doll, letting Ruan Tinghe do as she pleased.

Once your hair is clean, the rest of your hair is easy to wash.

Ruan Tinghe dried her off, "Can you get dressed by yourself?"

Xiao Bao nodded and gave himself a thumbs up.

"Great job!" Ruan Tinghe praised, gave Xiao Bao a kiss, and Xiao Bao happily went to get dressed.

On the other side, Da Bao washed himself clean, while Er Bao still had some mud on him, especially on his hair.

"Can Dabao dress himself?"

Da Bao wrung out the towel forcefully, "Mom, I can do it!"

"Go ahead, Mom needs to wash your brother's hair."

Da Bao was quick; he got dressed and came out with Xiao Bao, only to see Qiao Xiaqing staring blankly at the lotus roots in their bamboo basket.

Da Bao immediately ran over, "What are you doing! Want to buy lotus roots? They're three cents a pound!"

Xiao Bao's eyes widened in surprise. His older brother was such a shrewd businessman!

They bought ten pounds of lotus root for five cents!

The eldest brother sells it for three cents a pound!

Do you think people are stupid?

"Okay!" Da Bao spoke to Qiao Xiaqing first, and Qiao Xiaqing was overjoyed. "I want them all!"

She immediately took money out of her wallet.

Little Bao's mouth opened wide.

Is he really an idiot?

Da Bao looked at the lotus root, then at the money she handed him, and shook his head: "No, I need to discuss it with my mom and younger siblings first."

"Sure, I want lotus root anytime!"

Da Bao waved his hand and said domineeringly, "Then you can go home and wait for our news."

Qiao Xiaqing was reluctant to leave. She hadn't had a proper look at Xiaobao and Erbao, nor had she spoken to them.

"Oh! Who do we have here? It's Ruan Jiaojiao's mother, who has harmed our Hehe time and time again!"

Old Mrs. Qin's sarcastic voice came from the doorway.

She walked in with Yin Ze, carrying a basket.

A pair of cloudy yet sharp eyes stared at Qiao Xiaqing with disdain.

Qiao Xiaqing blushed with embarrassment. "Grandma, I came here to..."

"I don't care what you're here for, humph, do you really think our Hehe has no one to back her up?"

"I'm not, I..."

"Get out of here! If it weren't for your husband and in-laws, I would have already had Aze throw you out!"

"You're the most educated person in our compound, but you haven't developed a single brain!"

They treat every cat and dog like a precious treasure!

"They even released them to harm people!"

Grandma Qin didn't hold back, "He almost got our Aze into trouble! Wasn't Aze miserable enough? You even spared him!"

"That damned thing!"

Grandma Qin kept firing off questions, and Qiao Xiaqing's face grew increasingly red with embarrassment.

She bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Ruan Jiaojiao. I was wrong! I will change! Please give me another chance, Grandma?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Even with her thick skin, Qiao Xiaqing couldn't stay any longer after being bluntly kicked out.

He couldn't help but feel resentment towards Ruan Jiaojiao, but when he thought that she had saved his life, he didn't want to hate her.

Qiao Xiaqing felt that the old lady was right to scold her. She had read the most books, so why didn't she use her brain?

How can we properly handle the relationship between Ruan Jiaojiao and Ruan Tinghe?

On one side is her savior, and on the other is her future daughter-in-law who gave birth to three wonderful grandchildren!

and many more!

Da Bao and the others are definitely their son's biological children.

That son definitely didn't lie to her.

So... is Shen Yaozu really a bastard?

Qiao Xiaqing was so troubled that she had a headache. It seemed she needed to have a serious talk with Ruan Jiaojiao.

After Ruan Tinghe finished bathing Erbao, she came out and found that Qiao Xiaqing was no longer there, but Grandma Qin and Aze had returned.

"How about visiting relatives?"

"Oh well, what else can we do! We went at the wrong time!" Grandma Qin sighed as she sat down and poured herself and Aze a bowl of tea.

Ruan Tinghe asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Aze's uncle's neighbor suddenly died of an illness. Sigh, let's not talk about it. How come there's a whole basket of lotus roots? Are we going to finish eating all of this?"

Ruan Tinghe was also helpless: "The children brought them back, I don't know what they need so many for."

Da Bao: "We bought them, for fifty cents! We bought ten pounds!"

Grandma Qin exclaimed in surprise, "So cheap? Do we need a ticket?"

Erbao: "No tickets needed! It's from that pond over there, everyone can buy some!"

Grandma Qin understood and took the initiative to explain to Ruan Tinghe: "There is a large pond in our residential compound where lotus roots are always grown. The rule is to harvest the late-season lotus roots."
