Ma Xiaonan sighed deeply: "I don't like my grandma. Li Xuan's grandma is good to him and never argues with his mother. I want to switch grandmas with him."

Liu Chunhua pinched his cheek. "You think Grandma will let you choose?"

"I want to choose Dr. Lin as my grandma," Ma Xiaoxi suddenly said, smacking his lips as if he could still taste the sweetness of fruit candy.

His words made his mother and two older brothers laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Old Lady Ma, who was boiling water outside, started making veiled insults again.

The smiles on Liu Chunhua's and her sons' faces faded again.

"It's okay, just pretend she's talking nonsense!"

Ma Xiaodong pursed his lips and whispered, "Mom, give me your ear, I want to whisper something to you."

Liu Chunhua has always been a tiger mom and doesn't have much affectionate interaction with her sons. When she heard Ma Xiaodong say this, she was surprised for a moment, and then leaned closer to listen.

Ma Xiaodong quickly stuffed the freshly peeled fruit candy into her mouth, then whispered, "Dr. Lin gave it to me; I saved one for you."

Liu Chunhua felt a sudden pang of sadness when her son suddenly pulled this stunt.

It was only because of these three children that Liu Chunhua truly didn't want to continue living with Ma Daniu.

……

After a trip to Guangzhou, Jiang Chengzhou and Li Xuan returned to school.

It's not easy to go out these days; most kids have never been out to play. Jiang Chengzhou and Li Xuan instantly became celebrities in their class.

Li Xuan was not talkative, but Jiang Chengzhou was a loudmouth, and soon a group of people surrounded his desk.

Yan Yuan, who was his deskmate, emerged from the crowd and sat down at the empty table next to Li Xuan.

"These are the class assignments the teacher gave us recently." Yan Yuan pushed a notebook over.

Li Xuan frowned: "I don't need it, you can give it to Jiang Chengzhou."

There was a subtle hostility between them when school started, and they were also the two students most often praised by the teacher in the class. Unconsciously, they developed a competitive relationship.

Yan Yuan said calmly, "Jiang Chengzhou can use mine. I'm just worried that you won't be able to keep up."

He stood up. "I'll be number one in the class. Good luck, and remember to give me a new notebook back."

Li Xuan gritted his teeth and took the notebook.

He would never let Yan Yuan surpass him.

Yan Yuan caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

He started selling fish with his grandfather when he was young, and he was more mature than his peers. Children like Li Xuan are most susceptible to being provoked.

Of course, Yan Yuan himself only accepts a fair victory.

After school, Jiang Chengzhou and the two boys from the Ma family went home together.

"My aunt said that blowing up the toilet is disgusting and will only make your house dirty. I think it's better to forget about it."

Ma Xiaodong thought about it and agreed, but he was unwilling to give up. He had finally come up with a way to prank his third uncle, but now his business had collapsed halfway through.

"Jiang Chengzhou, do you have any way to get my grandma and my third uncle back sooner?"

Jiang Chengzhou shook his head and asked them, "What did your mother say?"

Ma Xiaodong said, "She said that once the food at home is finished, my grandma and my third uncle will have to leave."

"Isn't that simple?" Jiang Chengzhou said. "Just secretly take the grain from your house, find a place to hide it, and they'll leave sooner, right?"

Ma Xiaodong's eyes lit up. "You're so smart. I'll go steal it today."

That night, after his younger brothers had fallen asleep, Ma Xiaodong secretly slipped out of the room.

There are many clouds tonight, and not even moonlight.

Ma Xiaodong headed towards the kitchen based on his familiarity with the area. As soon as he reached the living room, he saw a figure standing in front of his mother's room.

He was immediately startled and accidentally bumped into a chair, making a sound.

Ma San Niu immediately turned around and looked over.

He doesn't have a job and doesn't work much; he sometimes engages in petty theft.

This time when he came to the military base, he relapsed into his old habits.

He dared not steal from others, only from his sister-in-law.

But Liu Chunhua had long been wary of the mother and son, keeping the drawers tightly locked and carrying the key with her every day.

Ma San Niu didn't dare to pick the lock. He originally planned to steal the key today, but unexpectedly, he was caught by Ma Xiao Dong, who was hiding grain.

"Help! Thief!"

Ma Xiaodong realized what was happening and immediately rushed into the yard shouting.

In a panic, Ma Sanniu tried to cover his mouth, but he tripped over the chair and stumbled forward.

With a muffled thud, Ma Sanniu cried out in pain.

His forehead hit the edge of the dining table right in front of him. He wiped his forehead, his hand was warm, and he collapsed, feeling dizzy.

Before the others could react, Li Jiang quickly dressed and ran over when he heard Ma Xiaodong's shout.

"Where is the thief?"

Ma Xiaodong pointed to the person lying on the ground, "Right there!"

Li Jiang told him to stand at the door and not to come closer, then took a flashlight and walked over.

At this moment, Liu Chunhua also came out of the house with a flashlight. Li Jiang immediately said, "Sister-in-law, don't move yet, let me check."

"Okay, I won't move," Liu Chunhua said anxiously. "Commander Li, is my Xiaodong alright?"

"fine."

Ma Sanniu was lying face down. Li Jiang turned him over. His face was covered in blood, and his features were almost unrecognizable.

Li Jiang, with a somber expression, checked his breath.

Thankfully, he didn't die.

"Sister-in-law, come and take a look. Is he Commander Ma's brother?"

"good……"

Before Liu Chunhua could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Ma, who had been listening in the room for a long time, rushed out.

Seeing her beloved youngest son lying on the ground covered in blood, she immediately screamed, "My son! What kind of heartless beast beat you like this?!"

She glared fiercely at Li Jiang. "Did you do it?"

Ma Xiaodong ran over and shouted, "No, he fell down and hit the table by himself. He was like this before Uncle Li came."

Liu Chunhua pulled her son to her side, saying, "I can also testify that he fell down first, and then Commander Li came over."

As more and more people gathered around, Old Lady Ma felt annoyed and muttered under her breath, "What a bunch of idiots who're siding with outsiders!"

Now that there are no outsiders around, they can extort money from Li Jiang for medical expenses.

More and more people arrived, not knowing exactly what had happened, and everyone was asking where the thief was.

Ma Xiaodong is now uncertain as well.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "I saw my third uncle opening the door to my parents' room, and I thought it was a thief, so I shouted."

Before anyone could even process what was happening, Liu Chunhua rushed to Li Jiang's side with lightning speed and kicked him several times.

Ma San Niu was only dizzy for a moment, and then he pretended to be dizzy because he saw that things were getting out of hand.

Liu Chunhua kicked him so hard that he almost cried out in pain.

Grandma Ma quickly stopped him, saying, "Xiao Dong must have seen wrong. Why would the third son go to open your door? Don't you know how old you are?"

"Pah!" Liu Chunhua cursed, "That beast will never do anything good anyway!"

Lin Zhilan stood far away, wearing a coat, watching Ma Sanniu being swayed back and forth by his mother, bleeding more and more. She watched coldly without making a sound.
