Chapter 174: The Plan is Going Smoothly

Jiang Cheng's deep brows furrowed slightly, "Nainai, what did you just say?"

Old Madam Jiang repeated it once more, adding with disdain, "Are you even more hard of hearing than your Nainai?"

"The sentence before that."

"Does Rongrong have time after she finishes having children?" Old Madam Jiang repeated it again.

"No," Jiang Cheng said decisively this time.

Old Madam Jiang:...

"So, Nainai, have you never heard of family planning?" Jiang Yu asked, speechless.

"Chicken... what planning?" Old Madam Jiang had indeed never heard of it.

"It's a national policy that stipulates each family can only have one child, otherwise we'll be fired and have to pack our bags and get out!"

"Nainai, you want my older brother and sister-in-law to have children, and then us two, are you trying to ruin my older brother first, then ruin me?"

"Confess honestly, Nainai, are you an undercover agent sent by my eldest uncle's or second uncle's family? Can't stand to see us doing well?"

Old Madam Jiang:...

"What kind of lousy policy is that? If we don't have children, what will happen when humanity on Earth goes extinct?"

Everyone:...

"Nainai, I really couldn't tell, you actually have quite the big-picture perspective, worrying about Earth and humanity, but I think at your age you should..."

The scene that followed was Old Madam Jiang chasing Jiang Yu to hit him. Jiang Cheng recalled how every time he was chased and hit before, his younger brother would add fuel to the fire, though he didn't have as many devious tricks in his belly as Jiang Yu.

Unable to think of anything, he glanced at the girl in his arms and had a sudden inspiration, "Nainai! You have to run faster! Your great-granddaughter thinks you run too slowly!"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang indeed quickened her pace, and Jiang Yu was beaten until he fled with his head in his hands.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Sinian suddenly let out a giggle.

It immediately made the whole family burst into laughter.

"This one will also be a troublemaker in the future!"

Mother Jiang pinched her grandson's cheek and sighed. Seeing her youngest son trying to escape back upstairs, she hurriedly said, "Play a while longer, your nephew loves watching!"

Especially watching Old Madam Jiang hit Jiang Yu with her cane.

Jiang Yu:...

Human hearts are so cold, he doesn't dare touch them.

After playing happily, the family of four, Jiang Cheng's family, returned to the Junshuyuan in the evening.

From afar, Si Rong saw Li Xuan chatting with the Military Spouses under the willow tree.

This Big Willow Tree in the Junshuyuan was considered the temporary intelligence center of the Junshuyuan.

Passing through here required strong psychological fortitude.

Everyone who passed by here would be judged.

"Oh! Is Mrs. Jiang returning to her maiden home?" Shen Qingyu was the first to greet her, though her tone was neither warm nor cold, "Look! What good fortune, Deputy Army Commander Jiang really knows how to pamper his wife, carrying everything in his own hands for fear of tiring his wife out!"

Everyone agreed one after another, while Li Xuan's expression carried a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Si Rong wasn't embarrassed either, directly linking her arm with Jiang Cheng's, "Our Old Jiang only has this one good point, he's terrified I'll get tired! He's a bit better than your Political Commissar Tao, huh."

Seeing Shen Qingyu deflated, she smiled even more pleasantly and looked toward Li Xuan, "Does your Old Commander Kong go out and help you carry things? Oh my, look at my memory, Old Commander Kong even needs you to push his wheelchair when he goes out."

Li Xuan:...

She hadn't even said anything! Why attack her?

"It's dark, you all have fun," Si Rong said goodbye to them, "I heard human traffickers are very rampant now, don't get abducted!"

After saying all that, Si Rong went home feeling physically and mentally refreshed.

At the intelligence station under the Big Willow Tree, a few women made a scene.

"She's a second wife, how would she know the hardships of a first marriage? Once you've lived through the daily grind of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, and tea for a long time, you'll know that men are all the same; how could they possibly pamper their wives for a lifetime?"

"Right now, Deputy Army Commander Jiang is still in the heat of the moment with her. When she gets old and isn't pretty anymore, let's see who carries the things then."

Hearing these disparaging remarks about Si Rong, Li Xuan felt somewhat happy inside.

That's right, Si Rong showing off her affection now will definitely lead to a big disaster later.

She even dared to mock her for marrying an old man in a wheelchair? Heh, when her two children are gone, let's see if she can still laugh.

Li Xuan suddenly thought of Si Rong's words just now about human traffickers being too rampant.

She felt her son didn't do this part right; if Si Rong remained this guarded against them, how would they be able to make a move?

Just say he's young and lacks experience in doing things.

Li Xuan felt it was time for her to act.

After dinner, she walked with Kong Yue, and Kong Lingdong saw them out, smiling softly as he urged, "Little Mother, go early and return early."

"Okay."

Li Xuan felt that she had a relatively good impression of Kong Lingdong.

If only the man she married were Kong Lingdong instead of this old geezer Kong Yue.

Unfortunately, Kong Lingdong was already married and even had children, but his wife and children were all abroad and rarely came back.

Using Kong Yue's name as a pretext, Li Xuan paid a visit to Si Rong this time.

As she expected, out of respect for Old Commander Kong, Si Rong didn't dare to sweep her out the door at all.

Looking around Si Rong's small courtyard, Li Xuan still felt some jealousy.

Although they were all the same small courtyards, the flower trellis in Si Rong's courtyard was like the finishing touch; she decided to have the nanny set up a flower trellis in her own courtyard after she got home.

Now she was the mistress of the Kong Family.

Jiang Cheng was chatting with Old Commander Kong, and Li Xuan stood to the side feeling somewhat awkward. Was Si Rong really so lacking in manners that she wouldn't even let the nanny bring her a stool to sit on?

Looking at the nanny again, Wang Ma was glaring at her intensely.

It was as if she were some kind of heinous villain.

Li Xuan shivered and took the initiative to state her purpose.

"Actually, I think the rumors about human traffickers in Huaiyang are a bit exaggerated; where could there be so many traffickers?"

Her subtext was to make Si Rong lower her guard and go out when she should, so that her son could find an opportunity.

Si Rong found it amusing, "What? Do you know some inside information?"

Li Xuan was startled and hurriedly waved her hands, "I just saw that you were scared stiff and came to comfort you out of kindness, don't talk nonsense!"

She pointed at the baby in the cradle, "Such a small child still needs to go out and get some sun, right?"

Si Rong nodded, "You're right."

As if she had taken Li Xuan's words to heart, the next day Si Rong began to take the two children out for walks with the nanny.

Li Xuan became smug once again.

Her son must not know that she had helped him with such a big favor.

Every day, Si Rong would hold the two children and bask in the warmth on the large expanse of grassland outside the Junshuyuan, and Shen Chi realized that the opportunity had finally arrived.

This morning, while Si Rong and Wu Ma were holding the two children and basking in the warmth, several motorcycles roared toward them, and as they passed by, the people on the back seats of the motorcycles snatched the children right out of their arms.

"My children!" In order to hold onto the small blankets, Si Rong even fell on the grass.

Shen Chi, hidden in the shadows, curled his lips; the plan was going extremely smoothly.

Moreover, it had nothing to do with him; there were people meeting them at the train station, and once the children were on the train, it would be no different from a needle falling into the sea.
