Jiang Jinzhu was taken aback, his expression one of surprise. "What house? This little villa?"

Su Lang nodded, "That's right, the formalities have been completed, and the house is now registered under Cheng Zhou's name."

Jiang Jinzhu opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to find his voice.

"That...that's a good thing too." He looked up and said, "I can't afford a house, but there's no reason for me to complain about having too much money. I'll give all my money to Chengzhou."

"I'll try to find a house... I'm willing to swallow my pride and give up living in the compound. I'll beg the organization to allocate me a small apartment."

If Su Bingcheng and Xu Yueyun, as grandparents, are so generous, then Jiang Jinzhu, who claims to love his grandson dearly, certainly can't be too stingy either.

Bai Mei pinched Jiang Yinzhu.

Jiang Jinzhu is simply senile.

Jiang Chengzhou already has such a big house, and Jiang Jinzhu is still helping him get a house. How can he live in it all by himself?!

Jiang Yinzhu stood up, supporting himself on the chair, and reminded Jiang Jinzhu, "Dad, you should also think about Xiaobao; he's your grandson too."

Jiang Jinzhu waved his hand impatiently, "Your son has no parents? It's none of my business who cares. I can give my money to whomever I want; who are you to tell me?"

Jiang Yinzhu was speechless.

Bai Mei gritted her teeth, wanting to say something, but not daring to.

This is the Su family home; she has no right to speak here.

Besides, Su Lang's gaze always made her feel a little uneasy.

The atmosphere in the living room was tense when footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Lin Zhilan opened the door and walked in, followed by two other people.

One was Qian Changling, and the other was a man in his fifties, wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit, glasses, and a serious expression.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home."

Lin Zhilan glanced around the living room, raising an eyebrow slightly. "This is...?"

Jiang Yinzhu patted his pants and laughed, "You must be Xiao Lang's wife? I'm Chengzhou's father. Thank you for taking care of Chengzhou all these years."

Lin Zhilan immediately realized who was in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly. "Su Lang, why are you letting just anyone in? Aren't you afraid of upsetting Mom?"

Jiang Jinzhu knew this young wife was not someone to be trifled with, so he quickly said, "Comrade Xu asked us to come here today to discuss matters concerning Chengzhou."

"What business does Chengzhou have? What is there to discuss with you?"

Lin Zhilan's face had darkened.

These people are just endless.

Lin Zhilan felt sorry for her child and originally wanted to bring the child back to celebrate the New Year and take a trip to the capital.

Unexpectedly, there are so many monsters and demons in the capital.

No wonder the child doesn't want to come back.

Jiang Jinzhu said, "Xiao Lang, this... could you say something for me?"

"Please don't call me. Comrade Lin makes all the decisions in our family. I do whatever she tells me to do. If you want me to speak on your behalf, you've come to the wrong person."

Jiang Jinzhu smiled wryly, trying to "convince people with reason".

"Xiao Lin, right? I've come here again to bring Cheng Zhou home. You're the child's aunt, and the child has benefited greatly from your care. The Jiang family won't mistreat you."

Taking care of children is not easy; it costs money and takes a lot of effort. I heard you already have a daughter, and you and Xiaolang will definitely have children in the future. Why make trouble for yourself?

Stepmothers don't want to raise children born in the first marriage.

What's more, it's an aunt who has no blood relation to you?

Lin Zhilan scoffed, "Chengzhou is a nuisance in your eyes, but a treasure in mine. I will absolutely not hand him over to you; you can give up on that idea!"

Jiang Jinzhu had not yet spoken.

Bai Mei finally couldn't help but interject, "Miss, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on Chengzhou's house, would you?"

"And who are you?" Lin Zhilan asked, looking at her.

When she looked up, the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, and her pupils were a deep color; they were clearly very beautiful eyes. But when she looked at me, there was not a trace of warmth in them.

It's as if she knows you inside and out, and she can even predict what you're going to say next.

Bai Mei felt a sudden tightness in her back and her heart skipped a beat when she was given that light glance.

"I...I am Jiang Yinzhu's wife."

"Oh..." Lin Zhilan's face revealed a mocking smile, "Raising children is very troublesome. I heard you already have a child. You want to take Chengzhou back. You wouldn't happen to be after Chengzhou's house, would you?"

Lin Zhilan packed up Jiang Jinzhu and Bai Mei's words and sent them back.

One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.

It's been a long time since Jiang Jinzhu wanted to bring Chengzhou back. Jiang Yinzhu and Bai Mei even hid when they met at the bathhouse last time, so how could they possibly genuinely want to bring Chengzhou back?

The only difference between the two is this house.

Bai Mei dug her nails into her palms, trying to keep her voice steady, "No matter what, Yinzhu is the child's father, and it's only right that he takes the child back."

"You're just the child's aunt. Aren't you supporting Jiang Chengzhou only for that little bit of money and the house?"

Qian Changling, who came to visit, got a huge surprise.

At this moment, he couldn't help but speak up: "Madam, do you know who Dr. Lin is?"

"Who is it?" Bai Mei's voice trembled slightly.

Qian Changling chuckled and said, "Dr. Lin is the key figure at the island's pharmaceutical factory, a senior technician, and his monthly salary is 133.5 yuan. By the way, shouldn't Dr. Lin's military doctor title be promoted this year? I reckon it'll be over 100."

Lin Zhilan smiled but remained silent.

Bai Mei's face had turned pale.

One hundred and thirty-three yuan and fifty cents.

There's also the salary for military doctors' professional titles; all added up, it's only a little over two hundred a month.

He subconsciously looked at Jiang Yinzhu.

Jiang Yinzhu was a junior manager in the factory, earning a monthly salary of forty-two yuan. Even with various subsidies, his total monthly salary was only around [amount missing].

Bai Mei's salary was obtained by Jiang Yinzhu paying for it.

My monthly salary is twenty-one yuan.

The two of them together don't exceed eighty.

The woman in front of them earns in a month what the couple earns in three months combined.

Bai Mei could no longer feel the pain from the fingernails digging into her palms.

Not finished yet.

Qian Changling stepped aside, making way for the man in the Zhongshan suit behind him.

"This is Comrade Luo Hua, the deputy director of the Military Control Commission of the Ministry of Health. He is here specifically to discuss matters concerning Dr. Lin and the island pharmaceutical factory."

Luo Hua stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the people in the living room.

He first looked at Xu Yueyun, a smile on his face, "Comrade Xu, it's been a long time."

"Luo Hua?" Xu Yueyun thought for a moment. "You're that Little Luo?"

Luo Hua smiled and nodded. "It's me."

Xu Yueyun was considered Luo Hua's senior.

Before she retired, Luo Hua was just a secretary to her boss.

I never imagined that I would become the deputy director of the Ministry of Health.

Luo Hua then greeted Su Bingcheng and Jiang Jinzhu.

Su Bingcheng was alright, but Jiang Jinzhu's expression was priceless.

He is somewhat chauvinistic and believes in keeping family scandals private.

Today, I've completely lost face.

And then there's Su Lang's wife, who's truly unexpected.

The deputy director of the Military Control Commission of the Ministry of Health was a truly powerful figure.
