Accidentally entered a high gate

Zhou Jianhui and Xu Zean: "..." This kid has a really sharp tongue.

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Ruotong was amused by the three of them. "So you guys are this gossipy too?"

Zhou Jianhui and Xu Zean: "We're not gossiping. We're asking for advice."

Jiang Ruotong: "It's clearly just gossip."

Qi Chengyao: "Exactly."

Zhou Jianhui and Xu Zean: "It was clearly a request for advice."

……

Over here, Zhou Jianhui and Xu Ze'an saw that Qi Chengyao was unwilling to talk, and after arguing for a while, they went back to work.

Meanwhile, Wanwan went home after parting ways with Qi Chengyao.

After Wanwan got home, she chatted with Su Jingyu for a while before Ma Lifeng returned. Yan Bang, Yan Min, and Yan Chuan went to buy New Year's goods with Zheng Chunfang.

When Wanwan saw Ma Lifeng return, she stood up from the sofa. "Dad, are you done with your meeting?"

"Hmm." Ma Lifeng said, taking off his coat. "The others went to climb the Great Wall. I came back because I was cold. Did you go to find Cheng Yao?"

"Yes. I also ran into Brother Limin and Brother Jiping."

Did you run into Limin and Jiping? "Did you go to their workplace to assert your sovereignty?"

"Yeah. He's quite popular in his workplace."

"Is someone giving you trouble?"

"No. They only dare to glare at me secretly at most."

"They're smart." Ma Lifeng sat down next to Su Jingyu, put his arm around her shoulder, and looked at her with a smile, "Mother, did you miss me?"

"I've thought about it. Are you tired from meetings?"

"Not tired. What about your precious daughter-in-law and your precious fifth, sixth, and seventh grandsons?" Yan Bang, Yan Min, and Yan Chuan are the fifth, sixth, and seventh among the boys of their generation.

Su Jingyu looked at her youngest son and smiled, "My precious daughter-in-law and my precious fifth, sixth, and seventh grandsons have gone to buy New Year's goods."

It was almost dark when Zheng Chunfang returned with Yan Bang, Yan Min, and Yan Chuan. Zheng Chunfang was carrying a leather bag, while Yan Bang, Yan Min, and Yan Chuan were carrying a bunch of things.

When the people in the compound saw Zheng Chunfang leisurely walking past them with her three eldest sons, they all thought that Zheng Chunfang was exceptionally lucky.

When Zheng Chunfang returned, she was about to greet Su Jingyu when she saw Ma Lifeng.

Zheng Chunfang smiled instantly. "You're done with your meeting? Mom, we're back."

Ma Lifeng: "It's over. Ma Yanmin, did your future in-laws give you any trouble?"

"No." Yan Min put the things he was holding on the coffee table, looked at Ma Lifeng and smiled, "I told Uncle Jing and Aunt Ji that you're getting busier and busier, and that you might not have time to visit them, and they were very happy."

"Hahahaha..." Ma Lifeng laughed as soon as he heard that. "If your Grandpa Jing knew, he would scold them again. Dad insisted on going last time to show that we value this matter. Ma Yanbang, you should find a father-in-law and mother-in-law like that in the future."

Yan Bang: "..." The reason Uncle Jing and Aunt Ji are so timid is because they understand his father. His future in-laws may not understand his father. "I'll try my best."

Yan Min: "Father, I knew you would be happy."

Ma Lifeng: "Hahahaha..."

Su Jingyu: "Yan Bang, don't listen to your father."

As soon as Su Jingyu finished speaking, Ma Lifeng looked at her with a wronged expression. "Mom, you don't love me anymore. I'm sad."

Su Jingyu: "..." He's almost a grandfather and he's still acting like a child with her. "Mom was wrong. Yanbang, you should find a father-in-law and mother-in-law just like your Uncle Jing and your Aunt Ji."

Yan Bang: "Okay."

Ma Lifeng was satisfied.

Yan Chuan moved closer to Ma Lifeng and asked, "Dad, why don't you let me find a father-in-law and mother-in-law like my second brother? I'm your son too."

Ma Lifeng looked at Yan Chuan with a serious expression and said, "Because your father wants to marry you off."

Yan Chuan: "..." His dad was being mischievous again. "Dad, do you think that if you can sit in a conference room with the ministers of all the departments, my grandpa won't beat you anymore?"

As soon as Ma Jingshan returned, he heard his youngest son say that he wanted to marry off his grandson.

Ma Jingshan turned around and called his guards in.

Ma Lifeng: "..." Was his dad planning to punish him by making him run laps? "Dad, I was just teasing Yan Chuan. Yan Chuan is my precious youngest son, how could I possibly marry him off?"

"Hmph! Make him run twenty laps around the track."

Ma Jingshan's guards: "..." When the previous batch of guards handed over their duties to Chief Ma, they were told that Chief Ma liked to punish his youngest son by making him run. But they thought that was just a legend.

Ma Jingshan glared at them when they didn't move. "What are you standing there for?"

The guard, seeing that he was serious, immediately walked over to Ma Lifeng.

Ma Lifeng: "..." He's almost a grandfather, and his dad still makes him run laps. Wow... "Stop right there! I'll go myself."

The guard stopped when he heard him say that.

Ma Lifeng stood up from the sofa, glanced at Yan Bang and Yan Min, and then left.

Yan Bang and Yan Min exchanged a glance, went upstairs to get a blanket, and followed him out.

Yan Chuan: "..." He was just saying.

Ma Jingshan walked over to him and ruffled his hair. "Your dad was just teasing you, but Grandpa will punish him too."

Su Jingyu: "Yes. You can't tease a child like that."

Zheng Chunfang: "Your dad should exercise more. He's got a little belly."

Wanwan: "You're Grandpa and Grandma's darling. Even if you lose a single hair, they'll be heartbroken for ages. If Dad says he's going to marry you off, wouldn't Grandpa punish him?"

Zheng Chunfang: "Exactly. Your dad really does have a little belly."

Over here, Ma Jingshan and the others explained it to Yan Chuan one by one.

On the other side, the people in the compound laughed when they saw Ma Jingshan's guards following Ma Lifeng toward the playground. They all started teasing Ma Lifeng.

The man older than Ma Lifeng said, "Hey, mistress, what have you done to anger your father again? Why don't you ever learn?"

Someone around Ma Lifeng's age said, "Ma Xiaosan, you're something else! You've already messed with your dad as soon as you got back."

The boy, about the size of a bowl, said, "Uncle Ma, are you trying to reminisce about the past?"

"Yeah." Ma Lifeng thought as he walked towards the playground: Was his father simply angry? Or was he afraid that his son would get arrogant after achieving some success?
