Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Sun Yulan's expression changed instantly; she knew this woman's visit was definitely not for good.

Tian Yunzhen nudged her arm, signaling her not to argue with someone like Aunt Ling in front of outsiders, and then gave her daughter-in-law a wink.

A moment later, the daughter-in-law called out from the edge of the yard, "Third Aunt, your chickens have run away and gone into Aunt Zhang's vegetable garden!"

Upon hearing that the chicken had come out, Aunt Ling didn't even bother to talk to Qin's mother and hurriedly ran after it.

Aunt Zhang is not someone to be trifled with. If anyone's chicken pecks at her vegetables, she's capable of poisoning it to death.

The old lady pursed her lips, just about to speak.

Ling Guosheng stuffed a cookie into his mother's hand: "Mom, try this, is it sweet? Chun'er, is the kitchen busy enough? If not, ask your grandma to come and help with the fire!"

Before Ling Chun could speak, Yang Xingzhi called out to the outside, "Dad, I'm very busy here. Chun'er has to take care of Xiao Taozi, so Grandma can come over and help with the fire!"

The old lady definitely didn't want to start a fire: "I..."

Ling Guosheng was already helping her into the kitchen: "I told you young people, you can't get anything done without an elder's help. Mom, could you help watch the fire?"

The old lady was shoved into the kitchen, and she couldn't say anything. She could only sit down and tend the fire with a dark expression.

Just as the dishes were served, Uncle Ling arrived.

"Oh my, I'm so lucky! They say it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I arrived at the perfect time, just in time for dinner!"

Second brother, what are you standing there for? The new son-in-law has arrived, hurry up and pour the wine!

Sun Yulan's face darkened further. There wasn't a single good person in this family. Every time they made something delicious, that dog's nose would come running as soon as it smelled it.

Uncle Ling opened the wine and poured himself a glass first.

"Xiao Qin, what kind of work do you do in the army?"

Qin Shixiao said modestly, "I didn't do much, just ran errands for the leaders, occasionally led the troops, and did some training or something!"

Uncle Ling clicked his tongue twice: "Well, you're not doing so well either. You're almost thirty and still just a gofer. You can't go on like this."

Listen to your third uncle's advice: when young people get things done, they not only need to be quick and efficient, but they also need to be good at reading people's expressions and have a sweet tongue. A sweet word is worth more than years of hard work. Don't you believe me?

Now, not only Sun Yulan, but even Ling Guosheng's expression turned sour.

They already have a very clear understanding of Qin Shixiao's family and work situation.

This young man is not only excellent, but exceptionally excellent. Ling Laosan, who is nothing, is now giving orders to others.

Qin Shixiao nodded good-naturedly, "Third Uncle is right!"

Uncle Ling Guorong, as if he had found a sense of accomplishment, tapped his bowl with his chopsticks and said with a smug look:

"See? It's young Qin who's seen the world and listens to advice. Yang, even though you're the eldest son-in-law, you still need to learn more from your brother-in-law in this regard!"

Yang Xingzhi didn't have Qin Shixiao's good manners:

"Third Uncle, you're such a good educator, why don't you teach your own Jianping? I'm not saying this as a junior, but he's a married man. What kind of behavior is it for him to get involved with an old widow like Cai Yinhua?"

Uncle, you don't feel ashamed, but as your nephew-in-law, I feel so embarrassed!

Aunt Ling couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of her son: "What nonsense are you talking about? My Jianping has never been..."

"Third Aunt, Third Aunt, you have to go see! Your daughter-in-law is fighting with Cai Yinhua, and your Jianping kicked her in the stomach, saying she's losing the baby!"

"What?"

When Aunt Ling heard that her daughter-in-law was going to lose her baby, she didn't even have time to eat and rushed to Cai Yinhua's house.

Ling Guorong, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, still sitting there, craning his neck and urging everyone to drink.

"Come on, let's drink! Women are always so troublesome, even when they're pregnant they can't stay still, always causing trouble everywhere!"

Ling Guotai couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed his arm and dragged him outside:

"Son, daughter-in-law, your grandson is in grave danger, and you're still drinking? Get your ass over here and see what's going on!"

The old lady was immediately displeased when she saw her eldest son scolding her younger son.

"He's a man, he doesn't understand women's affairs. Besides, his wife already moved away, why would he go back? He'd just be wasting time eating!"

Ling Guotai was furious when he heard his mother's words.

Back when the brothers were going through a tough time, their mother abandoned them and left.

The two brothers had finally made it through the tough times and were just starting to have some good days when their mother came back. Not only did she come back on her own, but she also brought her third and fourth sons with her.

That's not all; she also insisted that the third child was her biological son, and that he was raised by someone else because her family couldn't support him back then.

Ling Guotai was already married with children at that time, so what was there for him not to understand when he looked at his third brother, who was three years younger than the second brother?

His biological father was still alive when his mother had a son with another man. Now, taking advantage of his father's death and the lack of evidence, she openly brought back this illegitimate child and forced him to recognize his second son as a brother.

The two brothers, of course, refused to acknowledge it no matter what.

When they refused to acknowledge him, the old lady threw a tantrum, accusing her two sons of being unfilial and disowning their own brother. She relentlessly pestered them, forcing them to accept this brother of unknown origin and even have him take their father's surname, Ling.

Since they've already accepted their younger brother, they naturally won't begrudge having a younger sister for their fourth child.

A few years later, the two brothers learned why their mother had forced them to acknowledge their younger siblings: it was because their biological parents had been traitors to the Han Chinese.

After learning about this, the two brothers felt more disgusted than if they had swallowed flies, but they dared not utter a word, for fear of being implicated by their mother and the third and fourth brothers.

Therefore, the brothers Ling Guotai and Ling Guosheng both felt an inexplicable dislike for Ling Guorong and Ling Xiangyun, whom their mother had brought back.

Ling Guotai gave Tian Yunzhen a wink.

Tian Yunzhen got up unhappily and pulled the old lady away:

"Mom, there's something I have to tell you, it's about Xiangyun. Are you going to say it here, or...?"

Fortunately, the old lady knew what kind of person her own daughter was, and she didn't dare let anyone say it to her face. Looking at the dishes on the table, she swallowed and followed Tian Yunzhen away with some reluctance.

With the annoying people gone, Ling Guosheng and Sun Yulan both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, come on, eat up! My son-in-law's cooking skills are absolutely superb!"

Sun Yulan said to Qin's mother with a hint of apology, "Auntie, I'm so sorry you had to see this!"

Qin's mother said very magnanimously, "It's alright. Every family has a few annoying things around, and mine is no exception!"

Sun Yulan had naturally heard of Qin's second uncle as well. They smiled at each other, both understanding the situation.

After a few rounds of drinks, Qin's mother expressed her thoughts:

"Yulan, I'm several years older than you, so I'll call you 'sister' now. Since we're all sitting here, let's talk about the two children."

My third child is getting on in years. If you have no objections, let him/her file for marriage. What do you and September's dad think?
