Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 380 Extra Chapter 41: What Happened Back Then
Jiang Moli arranged for Ruan Rou to be born into the Ye family.

After the family acquaintance, the Jiang and Ye families sat down to discuss the division of the inheritance.

Ruan Rou's biological father, Ye Shaoting, left a will before his death, leaving half of his property to his four siblings and the other half to his wife, Bai Haitang, and daughter, Ye Yilan.

Ye Yilan is Ruan Rou's real name.

Now that both mother and daughter are no longer alive, according to the current law that "spouse, children, and parents are the first-order heirs," their estate rightfully belongs to Jiang Dahai, Jiang Moli, and Jiang Peng.

The division of the inheritance went smoothly, and from then on, Jiang Peng's maternal family was no longer the Ruan family, but the Ye family.

The Ye family were wealthy merchants in the past. During the war, two of the brothers followed Ye Shaoting to Taiwan to develop their businesses. Now they each have their own businesses in Taiwan. The remaining two siblings stayed in the mainland and are now retired. Their children are also successful, some as formal employees and others as government officials.

In short, the prosperous Ye family was far superior to the selfish and cunning Ruan family.

This was also the last arrangement Jiang Moli made for the father and son.

But she still underestimated the shamelessness of the Ruan family.

Upon learning that the Jiang family had inherited a large fortune, Ruan Fuguo led his entire family to their door, claiming to be Ruan Rou's family members and demanding a share of the money.

“If it weren’t for my parents’ kindness in taking Xiao Rou home as an infant, she would have been eaten by wild dogs long ago! The kindness of raising her is greater than heaven, and the money Xiao Rou left behind should be given to my parents as a token of filial piety.”

Nguyen Phu Quoc was quite shrewd; he asked for money in the names of Nguyen Tu Son and Tran Quy Phung.

Chinese people value filial piety. Given the life-saving grace and the kindness of raising children, Jiang Dahai's refusal to give the two elderly people a single penny will not only be criticized as ungrateful, but the Ruan family will also not let it go, inevitably causing a great commotion.

Jiang Dahai had no choice but to call Jiang Moli for advice.

Jiang Moli didn't rush out after finishing the phone call.

She first called Lin Jianfeng, asking him to help contact TV stations, radio stations, and newspaper reporters. Then she called Lu Dezhao, asking if he had any connections in the government.

After doing all this, she called on An Hui and Ma Hongmei to accompany her to the Agricultural Bureau.

The Ruan family, with their wolfish ambitions, went directly to Jiang Dahai's workplace to cause trouble, completely disregarding the possibility that it would cause Jiang Dahai to lose his secure job. This reveals the selfish and vicious nature of the entire family.

……

Just as I stepped out of the military compound, I ran into Lu Tingting, who was returning from outside.

Upon learning that Jiang Moli was going to deal with the Ruan family, he eagerly followed along to watch the show.

……

When Jiang Moli arrived at the Agriculture Bureau, reporters from the TV station, radio station, and newspaper were already there.

Seeing this display, Lu Tingting's eyes were filled with excitement.

This is going to be interesting!
In order not to disrupt normal work, the leaders of the Agriculture Bureau specially lent a meeting room to Jiang Moli.

However, the leaders' efforts were in vain; with such a commotion, who could concentrate on work? The entrance, the stairwell, and the windows were all packed with employees of the Agricultural Bureau.

Ruan Fuguo said domineeringly, "Jasmine, it's no use calling so many people! Back then, your maternal grandmother died on the barren slope, and your mother was starving and almost eaten by wild dogs. It was your parents who kindly took your mother in and raised her as their daughter. That's how your mother married your father and gave birth to you and Xiaopeng. Now that you've become successful, you can't forget your roots!"

"The money your mother left behind should at least be split in half between your parents!"

Faced with the Ruan family's aggressive tactics, Jiang Moli remained calm. "No rush. I've also invited government leaders here. Let's get everything cleared up today. By the way..."

Jiang Moli then introduced the reporters who had come with her to the Ruan family.

Ruan Fuqu sneered: "Well, you've even brought reporters here. If you're ungrateful and unfilial to your elders, then let the reporters report it and let the whole world condemn you for being unfilial and disrespectful!"

Jiang Moli was too lazy to waste words with the Ruan family.

It must have been exhausting to make this trip with such a big belly; all she wanted was to get things sorted out and go home to lie down.

Lu Dezhao's connections were quite useful; the person from the government side was the deputy director of the municipal office.

Once everyone was present, Jiang Moli began her performance: "When my maternal grandmother passed away, besides taking my mother with her, she also took half of my maternal grandfather's fortune with her, including a bag of gold and silver jewelry, two 100-gram gold bars, and one hundred silver dollars. Where did all these things go?"

Upon hearing about the treasure, the crowd of onlookers became excited.

In times of war, this would be a huge fortune.

The three Ruan brothers looked blankly at Ruan Zishan and Chen Guifen, clearly unaware of what was going on.

Ruan Zishan also glared at his wife.

She brought the child home; besides the baby's clothes, underwear, and swaddle blanket, all she had was a pair of silver bracelets.

Chen Guifen hurriedly denied it, "No, when I saw them on the barren slope, Xiao Rou's mother was already dead, and only Xiao Rou was still breathing. There was nothing else."

Jiang Moli spoke in a generous tone: "The reason I'm bringing this up isn't to get these things back. My mother's life was saved by your Ruan family, so consider these valuables a token of our gratitude to your Ruan family."

The Ruan family naturally objected.

They hadn't even seen a trace of these things, how could that possibly repay Ruan Rou's life-saving grace?

Nguyen Phu Quoc: "My mother said that none of these things you mentioned exist."

Nguyen Phu Quyen: "You think you can accuse us of taking things based on just a few words? That's ridiculous!"

Jiang Moli asked Ruan Zishan and Chen Guifen directly, "In those days, every family was struggling to get enough to eat, and my mother was a girl. How could you possibly think of raising someone else's child?"

Everyone, including the three Nguyen brothers, looked at the elderly couple with suspicion.

In those days, it was not uncommon for people to strangle their own daughters in order to save food rations in rural areas. It was indeed against common sense that Ruan Zishan and Chen Guifen took in Ruan Rou, a complete stranger.

Unable to reconcile her own explanation, Chen Guifen had no choice but to tell the truth.
