"Ma Sanniu, do you even know what that woman's husband does? He's the youngest regimental commander in the military region; he could crush you with a flick of his finger!"

Liu Chunhua gave her a disdainful glance and continued, "Do you know what crime it is to disrupt a military marriage? If you dare to harass a military family member, believe me, the army will execute you!"

"What are you saying, sister-in-law? How could I possibly do such a thing?" Ma Sanniu said awkwardly, his face pale.

"Mother, didn't you say you had something to say to your sister-in-law?" Ma Sanniu reminded his mother.

Grandma Ma realized what was happening, sat up from her chair, and said without any politeness, "Chunhua, take San Niu to your factory tomorrow and transfer his job to him."

"What did you say?" Liu Chunhua looked at her incredulously.

Grandma Ma clicked her tongue impatiently. "You're a woman, and it's not like the eldest son can't support you. Give the job to your third brother, and you won't have to go to work anymore."

"Impossible!" Liu Chunhua threw the pliers aside. "Anyone who wants to take my job can stab me to death right now!"

Old Mrs. Ma put her hands on her hips and said, "Pah! Do you think I'm easily intimidated? If you don't agree, I'll have my son divorce you!"

"Fine." Liu Chunhua's eyes were indifferent. "I'll wait for Ma Daniu to come back and divorce me."

Anyway, she was fed up and didn't want to serve this family anymore.

Although she got the job at the factory because of her status as a military dependent, she is doing well now, and the factory has no reason to fire her.

She can support herself, so let's get a divorce!

Grandma Ma was also surprised to see that she wasn't afraid. She then said, "Don't disbelieve me. My son is a regimental commander. Even if he divorces you, he can still marry someone younger."

"oh."

Liu Chunhua lifted the lid of the pot and tested the water temperature with her hand. Seeing that the water was hot, she walked past the two people to call her three sons to take a bath.

Old Mrs. Ma was so angry she jumped up and down, "This is outrageous! Just because Da Niu isn't here, you dare treat me like this! If you don't get a divorce, I'll take your surname!"

Liu Chunhua turned a deaf ear and asked, "Should I take her surname?"

She was also afraid that Old Lady Ma would benefit too much!

Lin Zhilan took the children to the playground to run, and the three boys from the Ma family followed along.

Lin Zhilan took out some fruit candies from her pocket and gave them to them.

Ma Xiaonan reached out, but Ma Xiaodong slapped her hand.

"Dr. Lin, my mother won't let us ask you for food."

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "I gave it to you voluntarily, it's alright."

Ma Xiaodong shook his head and pulled his two younger brothers back, refusing to accept the money.

Linlin tiptoed and took the candy from her mother's hand, giving each of them two pieces. Like a little adult, she instructed, "Only two pieces, no more, or your teeth will get worms."

Ma Xiaonan immediately unwrapped the candy and stuffed it into her mouth, her words barely audible, "I'm not afraid of bugs."

Linlin looked at him with envy.

Ma Xiaodong held the candy wrapper and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lin."

Ma Xiaonan and Ma Xiaoxi: "Thank you, Dr. Lin."

"You're welcome," Lin Zhilan said with a smile when she saw Ma Xiaodong holding the candy but not eating it. "If you're worried about Grandma and Uncle finding out, you can finish it before you go back. Besides, it's not a big deal if they find out, I'm not afraid of them."

"Okay." Ma Xiaodong nodded emphatically. "Dr. Lin, let's go find Jiang Chengzhou to play."

"Go."

As Lin Zhilan watched the three children chase after Jiang Chengzhou, she suddenly felt her trouser leg being tugged.

She looked down and met her daughter's bright, big eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Mommy, I want candy."

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "But the baby has already eaten a piece of candy today, so he can only eat it tomorrow. Eating too much candy will cause cavities in his teeth."

Linlin blinked her eyes, "Baby isn't afraid of bugs."

Lin Zhilan: "..."

It takes three years to learn good things, but only three days to learn bad things.

Lin Zhilan patiently explained that the insects would slowly eat away at the teeth, causing toothache and making it impossible to eat delicious food in the future. Only then did Linlin give up the idea of ​​eating candy.

Jiang Chengzhou insisted on running ten laps before stopping.

Ma Xiaodong immediately ran over, "Jiang Chengzhou, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

Lin Zhilan saw four boys gathered together and assumed they hadn't seen each other for a week and were just good friends having a lot to talk about, so she didn't disturb them and slowly walked over with her daughter.

As they approached, they heard Jiang Chengzhou say, "I'll give you the things after school tomorrow."

Ma Xiaodong happily replied, "Great!"

Upon seeing Lin Zhilan, Ma Xiaodong's eyes darted away. "My mom should be looking for us soon. I'll come find you again tomorrow."

Seeing the three brothers hurriedly run off into the distance, Lin Zhilan asked suspiciously, "Jiang Chengzhou, are you up to something bad?"

Jiang Chengzhou whispered, "Auntie, if I tell you this, can you keep it a secret?"

"Can."

Jiang Chengzhou whispered, "Ma Xiaodong asked me for the firecrackers we didn't finish setting off during the New Year, so he can blow up the toilet while his third uncle is taking a dump."

"..."

“…………”

「… … … … … … … 」

Lin Zhilan was shocked for more than ten minutes before she came to her senses and said, "Who came up with this idea? Aren't you disgusted?"

"It was Ma Xiaodong's own idea. He said he used to fry cow dung when he was a child in his hometown."

Jiang Chengzhou asked curiously, "Auntie, have you ever fried cow dung? Was it fun?"

Lin Zhilan patted her chest, suppressing the nausea rising within her. "Jiang Chengzhou, can you please stop saying the word 'shit'?"

My aunt is very clean and has a rule that everyone in the family must wash their hands before meals and after using the toilet. She definitely didn't like hearing this, so Jiang Chengzhou immediately shut up.

Back home, Lin Zhilan felt she still needed to have a good talk with her child.

"Jiang Chengzhou, can you persuade Ma Xiaodong to abandon this plan?"

"Why?" Jiang Chengzhou asked, puzzled. "Uncle Ma Xiaodong is so annoying. Ma Xiaodong wants revenge for his mother. Besides, Aunt, don't you dislike him either?"

Lin Zhilan patiently said, "But you can't... use this method. It's not just him who's smelling bad. The house belongs to Aunt Liu. If he makes it dirty, won't Aunt Liu have to clean it up?"

"It seems so," Jiang Chengzhou thought, resting his chin on his hand.

"Then I'll tell them tomorrow that I won't give them the cannons."

Lin Zhilan patted his head with relief, "Tell Ma Xiaodong that this is an adult matter and the adults will handle it."

They're still too young. Right now, the most important thing is for them to eat well and study hard. When they grow up, they'll be able to support their mother, understand?

"it is good."

The Ma family.

After giving her youngest son a bath, Liu Chunhua carried him into the room.

Ma Xiaodong and Ma Xiaonan snuggled under the covers, watching their mother dress their younger brother.

Outside, there could still be the sounds of Old Mrs. Ma smashing things in the kitchen, cursing Liu Chunhua for using up all the water and not boiling water for her and Ma Sanniu.

Ma Xiaodong: "Mom, when are Grandma and Uncle going back?"

Liu Chunhua lowered her eyes. "It'll be over soon. Just bear with it for a few more days."

She doesn't have much food left at home, so she won't buy any more.

There's no land or soil here, so we have to buy everything.

Ma Daniu won't be back anytime soon, and the current letters of introduction have an expiration date, so Grandma Ma won't benefit from them and won't be able to hold out for long.

She told the children to lie down and cover themselves with their blankets, "Go to bed early, so you won't be late for school tomorrow."
