After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 108, Episode 0112: There's nothing to hide.
Not only did Leng Xingchen not understand, but none of the adults present could understand it either.

However, it must be said that adults sometimes think in the same way. They all think that the child has suffered too much over the years and was touched by Leng Xingchen's words, so he suddenly vented his emotions.

None of the four adults tried to persuade him, each arrogantly believing that the child should vent his pent-up frustrations. It wasn't until about two minutes later that Lin Yuexi and Xu Shan finally moved. Lin Yuexi hugged Er Mao, and Xu Shan pulled Da Mao to his side and gave him a loose hug.

Fang Jianshu was so ashamed that his eyes were red and he was constantly on the verge of tears.

Even Leng Xingchen, who doesn't have social anxiety, understood the predicament of those with social anxiety in this situation; she truly didn't know how to start the conversation.

The only sound in the ward was Lin Yuexi's voice comforting Er Mao, still cold but incredibly reassuring, "Don't cry. When Daddy comes back, Daddy will protect you. If Daddy isn't here, and you encounter difficulties, you can ask Grandpa Zheng in the logistics department. If you can't find Grandpa Zheng, you can ask Grandma Hao [Minister Zheng's wife]. If you can't find Grandma Hao either, you can ask Grandma Wang [Chief Ning's wife]."

These are all influential people in the family compound, and they are all upright individuals. If the children really encounter difficulties, they should not hesitate to help.

In the past, well, the children were too young to distinguish right from wrong. They were intimidated by Zhang Xiaomang's status as their mother, which gave them the biggest advantage. Not only did the two children not think that they could find someone to help them in the army, but they also avoided the people who could help them, thinking that they were not causing trouble for their father.

Let alone the two children, even Fang Jianshu, an adult, almost spoke up to refute Lin Yuexi's words for a moment. He instinctively felt that he shouldn't bother the leaders with his own family's trivial matters.

But when he saw the two children's eyes gradually brighten, Fang Jianshu shut his mouth against his will for the first time, and became increasingly dejected.

He's such a failure; he can't even give his own child basic trust.

The two children have already returned to school since Fang Jianshu came back this time. Today is Tuesday, not a holiday, and the two children are just here to deliver lunch.

Soon after, Xu Shan took him to school.

The child is quiet, and the adults don't feel comfortable talking much because of their presence. The ward wasn't very lively when they were there.

After they left, Leng Xingchen couldn't help but ask Fang Jianshu, "What's going on with your wife? Could it be that the two children aren't hers?"

It's really hard to understand how a mother can treat her own son badly while doting on her own family's children.

Oh, no, not just the children from her maternal family, Zhang Xiaomang treats any child better than her two biological children.

It's hard not to wonder if there's something wrong with her, or if she's simply dissatisfied with the father of her two children.

Lin Yuexi didn't doubt the second point. She knew that Zhang Xiaomang was just mentally ill. Everyone in the family compound knew that Zhang Xiaomang cared a lot about Fang Jianshu and thought he was very good to her. At least, that's what she thought.

Although Fang Jianshu and Leng Xingchen were not familiar with each other before, he had heard a lot about Leng Xingchen's deeds. After living together for two days, he had come to understand Leng Xingchen's character and had come to regard Leng Xingchen as a friend.

Anyway, things have come to this point, and I believe that not many people don't know about their family situation now, so there's nothing to hide, especially from friends who care about them. He replied with a wry smile, "Zhang Xiaomang and I met through a blind date. My parents thought I was getting old and should get married, and they thought Zhang Xiaomang was kind and filial. Since our families lived close by, we arranged to meet when I went home to visit my family."

At the time, he didn't feel like marrying Zhang Xiaomang. He neither liked nor disliked her. It was just the feeling of meeting a stranger for the first time. Although it was his first blind date and he was a little embarrassed, he forgot about it after returning to the team.

To his surprise, the parents of both sides arranged the marriage without his consent. They all felt that since they had gone on a blind date and neither side expressed dissatisfaction, it meant that they liked each other. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that he had gone on a blind date and hurriedly returned to his unit after returning home.

Leng Xingchen and Lin Yuexi both looked at Fang Jianshu with a mixture of sympathy and disappointment, yet also...

Well, in many rural areas nowadays, relationships between men and women are indeed very strict, especially for women. A bad reputation in this area can affect not only her own life but also the lives of her family.

To give an example, even if a lesbian is a street urchin, she can still get married. But if she has a reputation for prostitution, it will be very difficult for her to get married, unless she goes to a more remote and impoverished place where even lesbians can't find wives.

If a woman can't get married, it affects her entire family and even her entire clan. She will be looked down upon by everyone in the village, and no good things will come her way. She will be pointed at and gossiped about whenever she goes out. It will also make it difficult for other young people in the clan to find a wife or get married.

Therefore, as long as a gay man still has some conscience, once rumors spread that he has affairs with some women, he will not want to damage the women's reputation. In addition, at this time, most marriages are still arranged by strangers, and in the city, most people meet and feel that they are compatible enough to get married and live together. So most of them will choose to "let it be".

Leng Xingchen and Lin Yuexi had seen far too many marriages like this. Not to mention Fang Jianshu's, there were many marriages in their compound where the parents arranged the marriages directly, and the two young people had never even met before getting married.

Although things are much more open now, and young people believe in getting to know each other before talking about marriage, there's still that saying: dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around.

Fang Jianshu was unaware that the siblings' thoughts had wandered off to who-knows-where, and was still slowly talking about his own affairs.

Just as the siblings had guessed, Fang Jianshu compromised without much resistance because their parents had arranged the marriage. He accepted the marriage and hurriedly returned home to get married during his next leave to visit his family. He then brought Zhang Xiaomang with him to the military base.

Fang Jianshu didn't have a privileged family background to help him, so he had to work hard to get ahead. Therefore, he was very busy and didn't have much time to spend with his wife.

Zhang Xiaomang is a virtuous wife in front of Fang Jianshu. Her words and actions always show that she cares about Fang Jianshu and keeps him in her heart.

Every time Fang Jianshu returned from a mission, Zhang Xiaomang would feel sorry for his hard work and then do her best to nourish him with various soups.

Honestly, very few men can resist falling into this situation, especially soldiers like Fang Jianshu who are often on missions. We're all human, and who wouldn't want a warm-hearted person by their side when they're tired?
They don't ask for much, just a wife, kids, and a warm bed!

We've digressed, let's get back to the point.

Because of Zhang Xiaomang's thoughtfulness towards Fang Jianshu, Fang Jianshu was extremely generous to her, giving her everything he could, handing over his family assets, and letting her manage all his allowances.

He never doubted that someone like her would treat the child badly, nor did he ever think that Zhang Xiaomang would abuse his child. He also never questioned why the child was either at his mother-in-law's or grandparents' house every time he came back.
