Accidentally entered a high gate

"That's right!" Ma Lifeng released Xiao Wanwan's little cheek and tapped her forehead. "My daughter is so smart. When we get along with others, besides figuring out their background, we also need to understand their character. We need to understand close relatives like your uncle even more."

"The best way to understand a person's character is to see how they handle situations, especially those that harm their interests."

"Also, while we want to get along well with all our family members and relatives, we should distance ourselves from some family members and relatives when necessary, and let go of others when necessary. Understand?"

"I've got it."

"sleep."

"Okay!" Little Bowl asked mischievously as she burrowed into bed, "If my mom asks me what I learned on this trip when I get back, can I tell her?"

Ma Lifeng pinched the little flesh on her arm, as if to twist it. "You little ingrate, do you not want to see me and your mother get along well? Do you want to live under your stepmother's thumb? I'll show you what it's like to live under a stepmother's thumb right now!"

"No, no! Hehe... I was just kidding, just kidding."

Ma Lifeng only let go of her after she gave in. "Go to sleep."

"Okay!" Little Wanwan snuggled into his arms, looked at him, and asked, "Besides wanting to know their attitude as soon as possible, is there another reason why you're waiting here for the Wen family?"

"Yes. After I married your mother, I became like a son to your maternal grandparents. Since I knew they would be coming, I had to greet them on their behalf. Of course, I couldn't keep waiting for them."

Why didn't you tell my grandparents?

"Because your maternal grandparents and your eldest uncle should be able to withstand the test. Because the Wen family probably doesn't want us to tell your maternal grandparents and your eldest uncle in advance. Because your dad wants to see the show."

Xiaowanwan felt that for her father, the last reason was the main reason.

The father and daughter chatted for a while longer before going to sleep.

The next day, Ma Lifeng arrived early, carrying Xiaowanwan, and waited with Zhao Yonghong at the exit.

Wen Nianjun saw them as soon as he came out. "Are you guys here?"

"Hmm." Seeing what they were carrying, Ma Lifeng knew his brother-in-law's marriage was settled. "I've booked two rooms at the guesthouse; why don't you go and rest?"

What do you mean? "Are you here to pick us up?"

"Hmm." Ma Lifeng looked at Wen Nianjun and Ji Xiaoya and smiled, "Isn't there an old saying that a son-in-law is like half a son? Since I knew you were coming, of course I have to greet you on behalf of my father-in-law. Let's go."

Wen Nianjun: "Thank you."

"Of course, let's go."

"it is good."

Zhao Yonghong: "Let me help you carry it."

"Thank you for your help." Wen Nianjun gave Zhao Yonghong a bag, and then took the things from Ji Xiaoya's hands.

"It's no trouble at all."

Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Wen Nianjun was surprised to see Ma Lifeng's luggage on the table. "You didn't go to your father-in-law's house last night?"

Ma Lifeng looked at him and smiled, "If I had gone to my father-in-law's house last night, it would have been my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law who came to pick you up today. My name is Ma Lifeng, my daughter's full name is Ma Yanlin, and her nickname is Wanwan. My brother's name is Zhao Yonghong."

Wen Nianjun didn't think much of Ma Lifeng's name. There are so many people in China, many have the surname Ma and the character "Li". "My name is Wen Nianjun, and my wife's name is Ji Xiaoya."

"Hello, Brother Wen! Hello, Sister Ji! Brother Wen, Sister Ji, please go next door and call us when you've finished resting."

Wen Nianjun: "Okay."

After Ma Lifeng and the others left, Wen Nianjun and Ji Xiaoya began to wash up. After washing up, they changed into clean clothes.

Ma Lifeng and the others were also washing up.

After changing his clothes, Wen Nianjun went to call Ma Lifeng and the others.

When Ma Lifeng heard that he had rested well, he picked up Xiao Wanwan and brought Zhao Yonghong out.

Wen Nianjun was stunned when he saw Ma Lifeng. "You... what did you just say your name was?"

"Ma Lifeng".

Wen Nianjun: "..." His younger sister's wish to be able to do whatever she wanted in her husband's family was dashed! There are many people with the surname Ma (马) containing the radical "砺" (lì). But to have the same surname as Chief Ma (马首长) leaves only one possibility. "You... hello!"

Ma Lifeng, holding a small bowl, leaned close to him and whispered, "Brother Wen, don't expose my secrets. If they come out, my in-laws will definitely give me a good beating and treat me like royalty."

"it is good."

Thanks.

"No...you're welcome. I...I'll go back to my room to get my luggage."

"Okay." Ma Lifeng had already taken Zhao Yonghong and his daughter's luggage to their room when he went there earlier.

Ji Xiaoya saw Wen Nianjun return and was about to say, "Can we go now?" when she noticed his expression was off. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Wen Nianjun rubbed his face. "I'm tired from the train ride. Let's go."

"Okay." She was quite tired too. But Wen Nianjun's vacation was limited.

Ji Xiaoya followed Wen Nianjun out of the house and immediately saw Xiao Wanwan. "My goodness! Whose child is this?!"

Ma Lifeng: "It's from my family."

"Who are you?"

"Sister Ji, you didn't forget the three of us after resting for a while, did you?"

Ji Xiaoya: "..." Oh my god! "Can I hug Wanwan? Wen Nianjun, did you look like you'd been struck by lightning just now because you've never seen a child as beautiful as Wanwan?"

Wen Nianjun: "..." He was so focused on the fact that Ma Lifeng was actually Chief Ma's son that he didn't even notice that Ma Lifeng was holding a child.

Ma Lifeng: "..." Have you forgotten that your husband is a military officer? If your husband can be startled by a child, then his rank is definitely questionable. "Yes."

When Ji Xiaoya heard Ma Lifeng say "yes," she wanted to take Wanwan away, but was afraid of scaring her. "Wanwan, can Auntie hug you?"

"Yes." Wanwan smiled at her first, then raised her two chubby little hands and stretched them out to her.

Ji Xiaoya was overjoyed. "Xiao Ma, now that my sister-in-law is marrying your brother-in-law, we'll be related by marriage. Can I take Wanwan to live with me for a year?"

Wen Nianjun: "..." You really dare to think that way! Do you know who her grandfather is? Do you know who her eldest uncle is? Do you know who her second uncle is?
