Accidentally entered a high gate

Upon hearing this, Ma Lifeng immediately replied, "I won't return it now. What I found is mine."

"Fine, fine, I won't return it now." His youngest son was just saying it. If the Chu family came to claim it, his youngest son would return it to them.

Ma Jingshan poured two cups of tea for his youngest son and daughter-in-law. "Have you gone to see the little girl Chu Shiqin picked up?"

Zheng Chunfang: "I've gone. That girl is still a bit thin, but she's much better than when she first came back."

After Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian were exonerated, they tried to transfer from Shanghai to Beijing. Ma Jingshan knew about their arrival as soon as they arrived.

Yan Min was their biological son, so Ma Jingshan would naturally pay attention to them. Therefore, as soon as Xu Jingxian appeared in front of Ma Lifeng and Zheng Chunfang, they knew who she was.

Ma Lifeng was pleased when his father said "okay" and "we won't return it now." "That child is more cheerful than when he first came back. The Chu family seems to be treating him well."

Ma Jingshan asked a few more questions and then changed the subject.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Chu returned from outside and asked his granddaughter what she had learned at the Children's Palace that morning. He then called Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian into his room. "Did you see Xiao Si this morning?"

Xu Jingxian: "I saw him. Xiao Si is tall, strong, and lively."

Chu Shiqin: "They raised Xiao Si like their own son. Xiao Si also has a very good relationship with their two biological sons."

Xu Jingxian: "The fourth child seems even more lively than their eldest son."

Chu Shiqin: "Xiao Si is doing very well in the Ma family."

Hearing this, Old Master Chu knew that he probably didn't intend to acknowledge Xiao Si anymore. "Have you spoken to Xiao Si's adoptive parents yet?"

Hsu Ching-Hsien: "They got together, and the two of them are very amicable."

Chu Shiqin: "Father, how about we just stop acknowledging Xiao Si? Xiao Si has a better future with someone else than with us. Even if we recover to our peak, we'll just be businessmen."

As expected. "Have you thought it through?"

Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian: "We've made up our minds."

Grandpa Chu looked at them and said, "Once you've made up your mind, you can't go back on it. Raising a mistress also involves taking a risk."

Xu Jingxian: "I don't regret it." Her youngest son is better off with other people than with them, and they treat her youngest son like their own son.

Chu Shiqin: "Dad, what do you mean by saying that raising a fourth mistress is also taking risks?"

"You don't think people don't know that Xiao Si is our child, do you?"

Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian: "..."

"He's a high-ranking official. And he's in the military."

Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian: "..."

"If people don't know Xiao Si's background, they certainly won't keep him at home, much less raise him as their own son."

Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian: "..."

"Don't even mention other people; even our family would never leave a child of unknown origin in our home. What if it's the child of an enemy?"

Chu Shiqin and Xu Jingxian: "..."

"Are you trying to say that since I guessed the Ma family knew Xiao Si's background, why didn't I have you directly tell Xiao Si's adoptive parents that Xiao Si is your child, instead of having you try to get in touch with Xiao Si's adoptive parents?"

The couple nodded.

"I had you talk to Xiao Si's adoptive parents so that we would let them know that we know they have been kind to our family."

The couple: "..." What does that mean? "Dad, you don't actually intend to acknowledge the fourth child at all, do you?"

"After I found out what Xiao Si's adoptive father's name was and what he looked like, I had no intention of acknowledging Xiao Si. Xiao Si has such an opportunity, why would I drag him down? I am Xiao Si's biological grandfather."

The couple: "..."

"However, you cannot pretend you don't have Xiao Si as your son. You cannot leave Xiao Si out when you divide the inheritance. But you should give it to Xiao Si when you die."

Xu Jingxian: "Don't worry, we won't forget Xiao Si. We already felt very sorry for him when we put him in the basin to float away."

Chu Shiqin: "Then what about my uncle and aunt's husband telling us to sell our property and move the whole family to the United States...?"

"People are cheap when they leave their homeland. Besides, the government has allowed the Ma family to support a fourth child, which shows that the government remembers that our family has contributed something to the motherland. Let's stay in our own country. As for the hardships we've endured these past few years? Which large family hasn't weathered storms?"

The couple were not surprised this time.

Chu Shiqin: "I see there are more and more stalls being set up outside now."

"Hmm. I'll try to get you two transferred to Beijing. First, Xiao Si is here. Second, it's our capital. I visited some old friends these past few days, and they said the country is preparing to vigorously develop the economy."

Chu Shiqin's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When we first founded our country, the great powers either wanted to destroy us or control us, so we had to establish ourselves first. Now that we're established, of course we need to develop our economy. Who wants to stay poor forever?"

Indeed. "Dad, aren't you afraid the Ma family will treat Xiao Si badly?"

"Have you gone stupid from spending so many years in the countryside?"

Chu Shiqin: "..." He had indeed asked a stupid question. He knew that since he had taken An'an in, he had to raise her as his own daughter. How could the Ma family not know that? If the Ma family were even less capable than him, how could they have their current status? "Father, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm planning to try my luck in the south. I heard the government is planning to set up a pilot program there first." Some people get scared after a setback and run away. But Chu Jingyuan isn't that kind of person.

"I'll go with you."

"Alright. It's time for you to pick up your old skills again."

……

Meanwhile, Wanwan and the others had been busy all morning.

Other people who take photos for others are working alone. They are working in a team.

Others wait for customers to come and ask, but they take the initiative.

Others don't have a specific target; they mainly target parents with children.

Others only have one brand and one camera. They have more than just cameras. They also have military uniforms for children, and submachine guns for children to play with. They even do makeup for children.

In addition, they are very attractive in themselves.

So their business was alright in the morning.

Of course, some people think that they are too old to take good photos.

After the park became less crowded, they went to find a place to eat.

They didn't go to a restaurant; instead, they found a place in the park where they could sit down and eat. They had brought their own dry food and water bottles.

"Phew..." Kangmei plopped down on the ground. "Doing business is really tiring."

Her grandmother handed her some dry food while laughing, "Don't do it if you're tired. Your grandfather is worried you'll run into some thugs."

"I'm not afraid. I have Wanwan." Kangmei took the dry rations with one hand and put his arm around Wanwan's shoulder with the other.

Wanwan looked at her and smiled, "If you say that, Limin and the others will be sad."

Upon hearing this, Feng Limin immediately said, "No, no, no, we are not sad at all. Wanwan, you can't just protect Kangmei and the others, you have to protect us too."

The other boys joined in the laughter:

"Yes, you have to protect us too."

"We are also vulnerable."

"Yes, yes, we are also very fragile."

Qi Xiaoyang, who was having a picnic nearby: "..." You guys are weak? You just beat up the kids in our compound a few days ago and left them with black and blue faces!
