Chapter 1936: The President Passed Away Due to Complications During Childbirth

~8 min read 1,549 words

The President of L Country has passed away due to complications during childbirth.

This news is more explosive than any other; L Country has once again been pushed to the forefront of public attention, becoming the top trending topic.

But now, people are not just watching the spectacle; there are those who want to seize power and profit, looking to gain advantages here.

Everywhere is surging with activity, a posture of "the mountain wind is blowing, signaling a storm to come."

At this moment, the common people finally realize what they have lost!

If the position of President were to be contested, it would mean they might very well re-enter a state of war, and the society that the country had finally managed to stabilize would once again fall into chaos and unrest.

At this time, people are raising their voices, demanding that Zirui become the President of their country!

Moreover, this clamor is growing louder and louder, eventually becoming the mainstream voice.

Letting a foreigner become the president of one's own country is something unheard of.

But the clamor of the people of L Country is growing ever louder, and Zirui has no choice but to step forward.

He gives a live speech on television, first thanking the people for their enthusiasm and deep affection, then declining this suggestion, stating that he will absolutely not give up his own nationality.

But because his beloved died due to complications during childbirth, he feels indebted to the people of L Country, and he is willing to use his own strength to help L Country safely pass through this period until a true president appears!

Qi Shishi's funeral is very grand.

People only remember the good of the past after they have lost it; the people of L Country are in this state now.

They remember that it was only after President Qi Shishi took office that they had a good life with enough to eat and wear, with days getting better and better, to the point where they could even leave their doors unlocked at night and not pick up things left on the road.

This was something unimaginable before; even when Old President Qi and President Qi Heng were in power, this was not achieved.

The entire country has turned out in full force; the streets are empty as everyone attends the funeral. Qi Shishi's funeral is very grand, the whole nation is in mourning, and the sound of weeping shakes the sky!

After the funeral ended, the things the people feared did not happen; there were no riots in L Country, no power struggles.

Those who were originally restless have, for some reason, all quieted down.

Some foreign forces with ill intentions wanted to take advantage of the chaos to support their own people to ascend the presidential throne, but unfortunately, they could not find a suitable puppet!

On the surface, L Country is leaderless, but in reality, it is like a solid block of iron; no malicious motives can be inserted.

It is as if an invisible hand is controlling all of this from behind the scenes.

And this hand does not belong to any one person, but to a team—a group with super-high intelligence, emotional quotient, and vision.

After the President's funeral, Qi Sheng was elected as President, and Zirui became the new President's most trusted Regent; after reporting to Jiangzhou, he will remain in L Country for a few years until the President comes of age and takes power.

——————————————————————————————

Jiangzhou.

The Jian Family.

Wan'er looks at her three daughters in front of her, and no matter how she looks at them, she finds them displeasing.

Finally, she cannot stand it anymore and asks, "Hey, you are all married women; is it appropriate to stay at your maiden home every day instead of staying in your own homes?"

Youyou: "Mom, are you finding us annoying?"

Taotao: "We were just afraid that you and Dad would be lonely at home, so we specifically came back to keep you company."

Mengmeng gives a concluding remark: "Filial children."

"Pah!"

Wan'er can no longer hold back and finally explodes: "Don't you dare gild your own faces; 'filial children,' indeed! Which family's filial children return to their maiden home every day to eat and live for free?"

"And I have to wait on you. I don't want to; you should go home."

The triplets are already married, and their husbands are all Yulong's colleagues, also criminal police officers.

Police work is very hard; leaving early and returning late is considered good, and being unable to return for a month or two due to missions is the norm.

Originally, Wan'er felt sorry for her daughters and thought, let them come back if they want to; she cooked delicious food for them herself, but soon she discovered something was wrong.

What is the difference between this and not being married?

Before they were married, they ate her food and drank her drinks, making her wait on them; after they were married, it is still the same. This won't do.

They have in-laws now and should return to their in-laws' homes to help with things; it is not right to act as if they are still unmarried.

Wan'er herself is a virtuous wife and good mother, so she requires her daughters to be the same as her; even if they cannot be exactly the same, they should be close, right?

Moreover, as fellow police wives, Meiyin does very well; she takes care of both sides' elderly parents whenever they have a headache or fever, and Yulong only needs to work hard, without the slightest worry at home.

But her proposal is rejected by her daughters.

The triplets shake their heads like rattle-drums.

Youyou: "That won't work. My mother-in-law is not like Aunt Nianyin. Aunt Nianyin treats Meiyin like her own daughter; the affection between them is even better than the affection between Yulong and his own mother."

Taotao continues: "My eldest sister's mother-in-law picks bones out of an egg all day long; if they were together, they would fight. You should spare her mother-in-law."

Wan'er asks again: "Then what about you two? Your mothers-in-law don't have so many issues; why don't you go back?"

Taotao: "My mother-in-law doesn't pick bones out of an egg, but she is too honest. When I go back, I always feel like I'm bullying her. You always teach us to be kind, so I'll be kinder and not go back to plague the old lady, so I came back here."

She says it in a high-sounding way, but in reality, it is not like that at all.

Youyou's mother-in-law is overbearing, and the two are like needles against wheat awns; as long as they are together, even silence is full of the smell of gunpowder.

Taotao's mother-in-law is soft and weak on the surface, but she specializes in playing dirty tricks behind people's backs. Taotao didn't know at first and thought her mother-in-law was genuinely good to her, but within a few days of marriage, the entire residential compound was bad-mouthing Taotao.

And these words were all spread by her mother-in-law!

Taotao is very smart; after she started to suspect, it didn't take her many days to figure out what was going on.

Playing dirty tricks under her nose?

This is the right person to deal with.

It didn't take half a month for Taotao to make her mother-in-law cry with frustration.

But this matter is not over; rather, it is the beginning of the real confrontation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

When Taotao's husband returned home from a mission, his mother complained to her son with snot and tears, recounting her grievances.

As a son, he is naturally biased toward his mother, but he also knows what kind of character his mother has.

She couldn't say anything, and could only coax both sides; the next day, because her energy was scattered while on a mission, she nearly lost her life.

Taotao broke out in a cold sweat, and only after that did she give up the intention of continuing to struggle against her mother-in-law.

If I can't afford to provoke them, I can at least hide from them, right?

She moved out of her in-laws' house and moved into the dowry house from her maiden family; from then on, the two sides never met, and they were finally at peace.

Among the triplets, only Mengmeng ended up with a very good mother-in-law who treated her truly like a daughter, being very caring and considerate, but why did Mengmeng also, like the other two, always run back to her maiden family?

Before her mother could ask, Mengmeng took the initiative to say: "I get along very well with my mother-in-law, but I'm afraid the two of them will be lonely, so I came back to keep them company."

The triplets had been together since they were small and had never been separated; if one person was missing, they would feel uncomfortable all over.

However, Youyou and Taotao's mothers-in-law were not good, and Wan'er did not know the whole story; reporting only the good news and not the bad was a trait of the triplets.

But since they didn't say anything, Wan'er assumed it was her own daughters' problem.
