"Sister Zeng, it's okay, don't worry." Zeng Xue, who was so fierce just now, became a frightened bird afterwards and exposed her vulnerability in front of Zhan Aiping.
Zhan Aiping took her into the small room and comforted her softly.
Zeng Xue was about to cry: "You won't cause me any trouble, will you?"
Not only did she offend an old man, but now she has another one. This one is more handsome and gentle than the previous one, but he doesn't look easy to deal with. He is sinister and scheming.
The older officer who pursued her before was rather rude, and she didn't like him very much. Zeng Xue liked men who were more refined, but... when she saw that man just now, Zeng Xue knew for the first time what it meant to be scheming. She always felt that he was planning something bad.
Neither of them is a good thing.
She wasn't that worried when she met someone who was straightforward.
Zhan Aiping said: "It's okay, it's okay, he will leave soon, go far away, and won't cause you any trouble."
Zeng Xue patted her chest and said, "I feel relieved now... Sister Zhan, I need your help with something."
Zeng Xue told Zhan Aiping about the harassment she had suffered. Zhan Aiping nodded and said, "I'll ask someone I know to speak to you. Don't worry. Just pretend nothing happened."
Zhan Aiping planned to be a good person and help her settle the matter. Seeing Gu Yao's frustrated look today, she felt so happy.
"Good sister, why don't you eat something at my house."
Zeng Xue said: "Drink something?"
Zhan Aiping said: "My children are still young, I don't drink."
Zeng Xue said: "Then I won't drink it either."
Zhan Aiping took Zeng Xue's hand, comforted her for a long time, and had a good chat with her over milk tea. Later, she asked Zhan Mingzhao and Gu Xiangyi to send her back.
Zeng Xue was a carefree and optimistic person. On the way back, she thought it through and said to Zhan Mingzhao with a smile, "Call me next time if you have something good like this!"
Zhan Aiping's comfort was very effective. Zeng Xue savored it and thought that it felt really good to scold someone, as if she had spit out all the foul air and bad luck in her heart, and her whole mood became more cheerful.
Zhan Aiping also promised to help her solve the problem... Life is so beautiful, everything is so sunny.
Zeng Xue is now as normal as ever.
She said a few words to Zhan Mingzhao, then looked at Gu Xiangyi: "This is your boyfriend. He looks familiar. I don't know where I've seen him before, haha—"
Gu Xiangyi said: "The one you scolded before was my brother."
"Uh—" Zeng Xue stopped smiling, "Yes, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, good scolding." Gu Xiangyi covered his mouth and smiled.
Zeng Xue: “…”
This old man seems to be unpopular.
Zhan Aiping was dealing with Zeng Xue's affairs, while Gu Sheng was comforting Gu Yao. Gu Sheng was holding little Mianhua in his arms, trying to hold back his laughter so hard that Gu Yao wanted to beat him up, but he couldn't.
With Gu Sheng's strong upper arms and thriving chest muscles, it would only take a few minutes to knock him down.
Oh, he is just protecting his wife.
Gu Sheng said: "Brother, look, my daughter is smiling too."
Gu Yao: “…”
Gu Yao looked at the smile on the baby's face and suddenly remembered the joyful look of a person.
It was the first time in his life that he was scolded by a woman.
Gu Yao frowned and said, "What's that woman's name? She's so brave."
Gu Sheng coaxed his daughter skillfully, "How should I know? Little Cotton, come and see Daddy—"
Gu Yao frowned so hard that he could kill a mosquito: "You two are singing the same tune, how could you not know?"
"I really don't know. You'll have to ask my wife Pingping."
Gu Yao: “…”
Gu Yao had no choice but to go find Zhan Aiping. Not only did he not want to talk to Zhan Aiping, Zhan Aiping also didn't want to talk to him.
"Give me the woman's workplace and address."
Zhan Aiping's inner alarm sounded: "No, big brother, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, she is just a young girl, please don't retaliate against her."
"Brother, you are too narrow-minded. You are already so old."
"Just treat her as a daughter who made a mistake."
Gu Yao frowned: "I can't give birth to such a big daughter."
Zhan Aiping: "Anyway, I can't tell you, brother, let's just let it go, and it's time for you to leave."
Although he failed to get the contact information from Zhan Aiping, Gu Yao had his own way. As long as this person existed, he would definitely be able to find it.
Half a month after Brother Gu left, Zeng Xue called Zhan Aiping for help: "Sister Zhan, please, don't let him bother me anymore."
Zhan Aiping: "He is too petty!"
Zeng Xue: "He asked me to go to a local art school over there. He said I was uneducated and vulgar..."
Oh my god, she hated reading the most in her life.
Zhan Aiping: “…” What a fussy guy.
Headache.
Zhan Aiping rubbed her brows and said, "Well, you just scold him. You must reject all unreasonable requests. He is just a paper tiger! Just scold him! Sister, you must be more powerful than him."
Zeng Xue: “Is that so?”
"Yes." Zhan Aiping nodded several times.
Not long after, Gu Yao called Gu Sheng specifically to warn his brother: "Keep a good eye on your wife and stop giving her bad advice every day."
Gu Sheng suppressed his laughter: "I can't control her."
"Brother, three women make a show, and this is just the beginning."
Gu Yao: “…”
Seeing that Gu Yao and Zeng Xue were getting closer and closer, Zhan Aiping felt mixed emotions. She called Gu Ze'an and asked, "Dad, are you anxious?"
"Why am I in such a hurry?" Gu Ze'an was dying of laughter during this period. His eldest son was humiliated, and he and his wife wanted to celebrate by setting off fireworks for 30 days. "Pingping, you are a young person. Tell Xiao Zeng to open his eyes and never date him. It's shameful for an old cow to eat young grass!"
If he can't get what he wants, he'd be mad to death.
Zhan Aiping: “…”

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again, a time when personnel changes were most frequent. People in the family compound moved here and there, but Zhan Aiping's family remained unchanged, and a new family moved in next door to Zhang Lirong.
That was the new Political Commissar Niu. His family was very lively, including his wife Niu Sao, his sister Niu Chunyan, and the five children of the Niu family, five boys in total. The youngest one was one and a half years old and had just been weaned.
Since his family moved in, Zhang Lirong was going crazy because there were five naughty boys next door. Not counting the two younger ones, the three older ones even disliked the dog and were always looking for trouble.
Fortunately, the yards of the two families were quite big... Zhang Lirong was thinking about building another fence and separating herself from the family next door.
Those five noisy children made her scalp tingle.
As soon as Niu Chunyan arrived at the place, she started to inquire about the children of each family. Her sister-in-law gave birth to five boys in a row, which was very famous. Her belly was full of babies, and she always made the men around her envious.
Niu Chunyan inquired and found out that the family in this compound was not very fertile, and the family with the most boys was Director Li's family with four.
As for the family next door to the Niu family, it is even worse. There is only one child in the family, and the two brothers cannot be found.
Niu Chunyan was very proud and ran to Zhang Lirong and said casually, "You only have one child?"
Zhang Lirong said: "One is enough for my family."
Niu Chunyan muttered: "How can one be enough? Of course, we should give birth to more boys."
Zhang Lirong said: "That's not necessarily true."
"I am the only child in my family. His father is so nervous. Our treasure is so precious."
Zhang Lirong said proudly, "If you have too many children, your life will be worthless."
This is the truth that Zhang Lirong had realized a long time ago... But that's not the case. Captain Luo has only this one son now, and he keeps him in his heart all the time, as he is his only child.
If there are two, three, four... so many children, can Captain Luo still care about Jinbao
Zhang Lirong: "Don't envy the treatment my children receive in the future."
They only have one child in their family, and they have everything they need to eat and drink well, unlike the five naughty kids next door.
Zhang Lirong shook her butt proudly and went home happily.
Niu Chunyan was stunned. When she was living in the countryside, if you were the only child in your family, you would be bullied. If you didn't have a brother to help you, anyone in the village could bully you. You couldn't even get water. Every family would wish to have more children.
"I am so lucky to have my only child in my arms."
But her only child is dressed neatly and is plump and fair. Well, both husband and wife get a salary, and they only have one child. How can the family not be well-off
Niu Chunyan returned empty-handed with Zhang Lirong, and went to visit the Luo family next door. This family was surnamed Gu, and it was said that they had given birth to a boy and two girls. What a disappointment!
Niu Chunyan said to Zhan Aiping: "You only have one son, why don't you have more? If your daughter is bullied in the future, she won't have many brothers to support her. I tell you, one is not enough."
Zhan Aiping: “Hey—”
Zhan Aiping looked at the unfamiliar face and it took her a moment to realize her identity.
"You must be the new wife, Niu. I... my older daughter, who is not very sensible, made your two sons cry. I apologize first."
"It's just children's nonsense."
Little Tangyuan made the third and fourth children of the Niu family cry, so they went to look for their brother crying. When the brother saw that Little Tangyuan was such a small kid, he didn't know what to do. He wanted to scare Little Tangyuan a few times, but was frightened by the fierce little Tangyuan.
Zhan Aiping didn’t know the specific situation, so she told the Niu family when she met them.
Niu Chunyan: “…”
Niu Chunyan had to go back quickly to see her nephews.
Zhan Aiping went home and called the sweet and sour pork brother and sister over. Sweet and sour pork stood up straight, and little Tangyuan looked up at his mother carelessly, "Mom, they are stealing their brother's toys."
"That's too much!" Little Tangyuan stomped his feet twice in a coquettish manner.
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Guo Bao Rou said angrily, "They didn't take my toys away. They took them! They took them!"
Little Tangyuan said: "I got my brother's toy back."
Zhan Aiping said: "Yuanyuan is great, you must protect your brother in the future."
Guo Bao Rou said first: "I will protect my sister!"
Little Tangyuan pulled at the corner of his clothes and said happily: "Brother, you have to protect me!"
"Don't worry!" Guo Bao Rou gave his sister a reassuring look.
Zhan Aiping pinched her son's face and looked at the face that was quite similar to her own... but he was a little whiter and thinner than when she was a child. Why was it that others always snatched his toys away from him
