The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Ye Zhao pulled the person aside.

"Sister Ren, Yuanchao isn't home, so we can't give you any definite news."

Ren Jing wasn't annoyed.

Everyone says she's the loudspeaker of the compound, but she never spreads rumors; she's just a naturally kind-hearted person.

They want to get involved in everything.

"With Dr. Chang's excellent qualities, he certainly doesn't lack suitable partners."

"She's never been married, but she doesn't mind that Yuan Chao has a child."

"Not only is she a burden to the family, but she can also be a help to Yuanchao. Isn't a wife like that hard to find even with a lantern?"

They were speaking from the bottom of their hearts, and Ye Zhao appreciated it.

"Sister Ren, I've already spoken to Yuanchao on the phone. He said he'd consider it, but he needs to focus on his studies for the next two years and is really worried about holding back his girlfriend."

Ren Jing patted Ye Zhao's arm.

"It's not like we're going to get them married right now. Let them exchange letters first and see how things go. Besides, they've met before; they're not strangers."

The doctor Ren Jing mentioned, Ye Zhao had met before; he was Chang Yuan, Li Yuanchao's personal physician.

Having put it that way, Ye Zhao had no choice but to accept.

Otherwise, who would introduce potential partners to her son?

"Alright, then I'll accept on behalf of Yuan Chao."

Ren Jing grinned, even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seemed to be smiling.

"That's more like it. Normally, young people's affairs should be left to their own devices. But the Chang family's daughter isn't young anymore, and her family is anxious, so they asked me to mediate."

"It's because Yuan Chao is of good character and your family has a good tradition that I'm willing to take charge."

Ren Jing lowered her voice.

"But I definitely won't interfere in that Zhu family boy's marriage."

Ye Zhao smiled and thanked her.

Li Tian and her friends had seen what happened to Zhu Nan's father; other people in the compound had probably seen it too.

Everyone knows this, but to maintain appearances, no one points it out.

Ren Jing couldn't help but add, "Tell Yuan Chao to take the initiative and write more letters to Dr. Chang. The two of them are a perfect match, and I think they're a good match."

Ye Zhao agreed without hesitation.

She had inquired about the Chang family from Zheng Yu's mother.

They have a good family tradition and good character.

The person who helped Li Tian yesterday should be Chang Yuan's older brother.

"Li Tian's maternal grandparents' family doesn't object to Yuan Chao's remarriage, right?"

Ye Zhao shook his head, indicating that some things needed to be said to make his stance clear.

"My in-laws are reasonable people. They don't object to Yuanchao's remarriage and told the Chang family not to have any concerns. As long as my wife and I are still able to move around, we will take care of our granddaughter ourselves."

"We raised Tian Tian ourselves. We don't expect others to treat her well; we just hope they don't dislike or target her."

Ren Jing smiled; this was also why she was willing to act as matchmaker.

It's better to argue with a smart person than to talk to a fool.

Whether it will work out or not is still unknown, and how they get along in the future is not her business.

Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, let alone in a remarried family like this.

It's complicated.

It's not that they can't get along, but it requires effort from many sides.

"Dr. Chang has a good upbringing and a good temperament; he's not the domineering or difficult type."

Ren Jing couldn't bring herself to say that she would treat other people's children as her own.

She herself couldn't do it.

But she believed that Chang Yuan was not the kind of person who was easily swayed.

The old acquaintances chatted for a while before parting ways.

In summary, of all the men introduced to her by outsiders, Ye Zhao preferred Chang Yuan.

Kong Man is good, but she also has shortcomings. At least she can't share the burden of social interactions and has difficulty integrating into the circle.

But Li Tian liked Kong Man, and Ye Zhao doted on her granddaughter, so she didn't object to it.

She had hinted at it to Kongman, but received no response.

Clearly, Kongman was unwilling.

If you're unwilling, then let's each go our own way.

Li Tian likes to be close to her, and that's Li Tian's choice; she supports it.

When I told Li Shengli when I got home, he had no objections whatsoever.

As long as the son is happy and the daughter-in-law is satisfied, that's all that matters.

As for social status, he didn't really care much about it.

What is his family background?

If he hadn't gone out to fight, he would have been just an old farmer.

"My dear wife, you need to be careful in choosing someone; make sure they don't have a kind face but a black heart. I'm nearing seventy, and I don't want your future to be too difficult..."

Li Shengli was unable to continue speaking.

But, everyone has that day.

Those who leave early have it easy, while those who leave later have it hard, facing a whole host of problems.

Ye Zhao felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, but she still glared at him.

"Don't give me that discouraging talk. You have to wait a few more years. If you dare to quit early, believe me, I'll find those three a stepfather!"

"You dare!"

Lee Seungri glared back, his eyes red.

He knew Ye Zhao was deliberately provoking him. He had never thought about such things when he was young, so how could he be thinking such things now that he was old?

After a short pause, Li Shengli said, "We'll set off after Tian Tian's performance."

Ye Zhao glanced at Li Shengli and knew that he was determined to go back this time.

That's understandable.

For various reasons, Li Shengli hasn't been back to his hometown for many years.

Sometimes when he really misses his family, he invites his still-living brothers and sisters to stay with him for a while.

Seeing relatives can help ease homesickness.

Besides seeing his relatives, Li Shengli also wanted to see the place where he grew up.

Eat a bite of hometown food, drink a sip of hometown water.

"My dear wife, while I can still walk, I want to go back one more time. I'm just afraid that if I delay for a few years, I won't be able to go back anymore."

Li Shengli was a kind and righteous man who did not want to cause trouble for the organization or anyone else.

If he really can't walk anymore, he'd be even less willing to go out.

Ye Zhao understood.

Although I'm too lazy to bother with it, I still support it.

"Okay, I'll pack my things. You take care of the rest."

Lee Seungri smiled like a child.

"Okay, okay, let's split up and you don't need to worry about things outside."

Li Shengli has a lot to do before leaving Beijing; he needs to report to higher authorities and formulate security measures...

He himself doesn't care, but he has to consider the impact.

We must not cause trouble for the country.

"What should we do with Chu Xun? Should we bring him along?"

Li Shengli shook his head.

There's been no movement from over there, and the organization wouldn't really use his safety as bait.

"Since we can't catch any big fish, I'm going to transfer people back to the front-line troops. Keeping them here is just hindering their progress."

Neither side can be reused, which naturally affects the outcome.

"If you've thought it through, that's fine."

"I've always thought Chu Xun and Xiao Zhong look alike, and they're about the same age, but there's no evidence to link them together. What a pity..."

Lee Seungri shared the same sentiment.

Zhong Ershun was once a soldier in Li Shengli's guard platoon. He did not stay in a foreign land, but fell to the guns of secret agents.

It is Lee Seung-ri's regret.

After Zhong Ershun died, his girlfriend also disappeared without a trace.

It's as if this person never existed.

Whether that person was pregnant or not, nobody knows.

But one thing is certain: Zhong Ershun's sacrifice was not an accident, but rather a premeditated act by the enemy.

The target was definitely not a lowly guard, but Lee Seung-ri.

Chu Xun was deceived, and the target was Li Shengli.

If the two have any connection, it's quite a long time ago.

Li Shengli has already informed the Beijing Guoan authorities of this situation, and I believe they will follow up.

The elderly couple discussed it and then got busy with their own tasks.
