Lin Zhilan's parents had a bad relationship and often argued before they divorced.

The one that left the deepest impression on her was her tenth birthday.

Her parents promised to take her to the zoo, but they started arguing fiercely the day before over a small matter.

They didn't make up the next day, as expected.

The trip to the zoo was, of course, cancelled.

As Lin Zhilan grew up, she could no longer feel the fear when her parents argued, but the regret of not being able to go to the zoo remained buried in her heart.

Even if she goes to the zoo many times after she becomes an adult, it can't make up for it.

Since she promised to take Jiang Chengzhou to Guangzhou for his birthday, and there are no real difficulties, why not?

With the parents' strong insistence, the teacher had no choice but to approve their leave request.

Jiang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief, his smile almost reaching his ears.

The teacher shook his head helplessly. Although Jiang Chengzhou was lively and active and not easy to manage, he had been much more well-behaved lately. He just hoped that Jiang Chengzhou wouldn't lose his focus again.

Wang Rou's home.

The family ate dinner quietly that evening when Li Xuan suddenly said, "Aunt Lin has asked Jiang Chengzhou for a week off. It's Jiang Chengzhou's birthday, and she's taking him and Linlin to Guangzhou."

Chen Hehua said, "Dr. Lin really spoils the child."

She has been in the military region for several years now, and according to her observation, even the children of the division commander and political commissar do not live as comfortably as Jiang Chengzhou and Linlin.

There are also old ladies in the family compound who dote on their grandchildren, wishing they could chew their food and feed it to them. Chen Hehua noticed that the child was not living a very happy life, having to be led and controlled by the old lady even when walking.

Chen Hehua didn't know how to put it, but Dr. Lin's "habit" was not that kind of habit; it was very different.

If Lin Zhilan knew her doubts, she would definitely tell her:

This isn't spoiling the child; it's respecting the child.

Li Jiang served food to Wang Rou, glanced at his son who was engrossed in eating, and asked, "Li Xuan, do you also want to go to Guangzhou?"

Li Xuan paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still, and lowered his head without saying a word.

Chen Hehua said, "It's alright. If Xiao Xuan wants to go play, we can go during summer vacation."

"Mmm," Li Xuan responded softly, shoveling a large mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Li Jiang frowned and said sternly, "Stand up!"

Li Xuan trembled and immediately stood up in fright.

Chen Hehua said anxiously, "Why are you scolding the child? Isn't he obedient enough?"

Before Su Lang left, he asked him to take good care of the neighbors next door.

Li Jiang, of course, couldn't focus his attention on Doctor Lin, but instead quietly observed Jiang Chengzhou and Xiao Linlin more closely.

Needless to say, Li Jiang sometimes wished he could take a sack and steal the child.

However, when comparing Jiang Chengzhou's son, who was the same age as Li Xuan, Li Jiang discovered a major problem.

Li Xuan's personality is too awkward.

Jiang Chengzhou speaks his mind, while Li Xuan keeps everything bottled up inside, waiting for others to guess.

You wouldn't guess he'd just have a cold face and wouldn't talk to anyone.

It's just that Xiaolinlin has a good personality; every time she makes him angry, she can coax him back in a couple of words.

Besides, other children don't really want to play with him, and even Jiang Chengzhou sometimes gets annoyed with him.

At the dinner table, Li Jiang could tell that he envied Jiang Chengzhou for being able to go to the sheep farm.

But he just wouldn't say anything, his hand gripping the chopsticks clenched until it turned white.

It's as if he's waiting for someone to coax him and beg him to tell him what's on his mind.

Li Jiang immediately got angry, which is why his tone became more aggressive.

Wang Rou, not understanding what was going on, also glared at Li Jiang.

Li Jiang sighed, "Mom, don't worry about it for now, I'll talk to him."

He grabbed Li Xuan's arm and led him into the room.

Wang Rou grabbed his sleeve, "Don't hit the child."

"I know." Li Jiang squeezed her hand and gently took his wife's hand away.

Chen Hehua breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jiang might not listen to what she says, but what his daughter-in-law says is like a royal decree to her son.

The father and son stayed in the room for nearly half an hour, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, neither of them having any appetite.

As soon as the room door opened, they looked over almost simultaneously.

Li Xuan walked out with a flushed face, his eyes showing signs of crying.

Before he could even ask, he walked over to Wang Rou and whispered, "Mom, $^R&%**#$#%."

Wang Rou: "?"

"Speak louder!" Li Jiang said.

Li Xuan's face flushed red. He closed his eyes, made up his mind, and shouted, "I want to go to Guangzhou with Jiang Chengzhou!"

Wang Rou was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll ask for leave for you tomorrow."

Li Xuan's mouth gaped open, surprised that his mother would agree so easily.

Li Jiang seemed to have read his thoughts and laughed, "Your father was right, wasn't he? If you want something, you have to go for it yourself, otherwise you'll just miss out."

Wang Rou glared at him, "Don't swear in front of the children!"

Are the two characters "Laozi" dirty?

Okay, if my wife says it's dirty, then it's dirty!

Li Jiang invited everyone to eat.

Li Xuan hesitated and looked at his grandmother. His grandmother was actually the person he was closest to, but this time he did not listen to her.

Chen Hehua didn't say anything, and casually put some food on his plate. "I heard that the soaps in Guangzhou smell good. Remember to remind your mother to bring me back two bars of soap."

Li Xuan's expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Grandma, I'll remember."

Wang Rou said, "Mom, do you want to come with me?"

Wang Rou and Chen Hehua didn't have any major conflicts, and Chen Hehua deserves a large part of the credit for this.

Although there were many things about Wang Rou that Chen Hehua disapproved of, she never tried to sow discord between the couple in front of her son.

She was a wise old lady; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise a son who became a regimental commander.

Li Jiang is the regimental commander; if he fights hard at the front, the rear will be stable.

Moreover, Li Jiang's tuition was sponsored by Wang Rou's father; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a smooth journey.

Out of gratitude and for her son's future, Chen Hehua could tolerate Wang Rou as long as he didn't make any fundamental mistakes.

Wang Rou is now much more open-minded, and what she sees and feels is clearer.

She knew she was very lucky to have met a mother-in-law like Chen Hehua.

If this happened in someone else's home, her previous actions would definitely be intolerable.

Therefore, Wang Rou was very grateful to Chen Hehua, and her invitation to go to Guangzhou with her was sincere.

Li Jiang laughed and said, "Yes, Mom, you should come too. Your son earns money so you can spend it."

Wang Rou added, "I'm earning money now. A few days ago, my sister gave me five yuan, which was my fee for drawing."

Seemingly realizing that five yuan was too little, Wang Rou paused, then continued, "My sister said this is just the beginning, and there will be more in the future."

Chen Hehua firmly stated, "I'm not going! If I'm going, I'll go with the old ladies."

Judging from Dr. Lin's spending habits, Wang Rou would probably have to do the same.

Chen Hehua's heart was pounding as she watched. If she were to go along, she would definitely be unable to resist trying to dissuade her.

She knew young people definitely wouldn't like to hear this, so she decided to simply ignore it and not go.

She was adamant, and that was the end of it.

Wang Rou even remarked to her sister how lucky she was to have met such a wonderful mother-in-law.

Lin Zhilan thought of Wang Guifen and then of Xu Yueyun, and felt very lucky.

But...

The wicked mother-in-law who will broaden their horizons is coming...
