Xu Wanning hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, I'll come back early today."

She also told the four children: "Be good and obedient at home."

"I know, mom. We will definitely be obedient!"

Xu Wanning first went to the military compound to reunite with the Xu family, and then went to find her aunt's family, preparing to go to the Yuan family together.

"After all, this is our first visit, so we can't go empty-handed. What gift should we give?"

"I asked Yang Kai to deliver some old hens and some fresh vegetables grown in the greenhouse to the second store. Let's take an old hen and some vegetables to each family. In addition, let's prepare a scarf for each female elder in the family. As for the male elders, give each one a pack of cigarettes."

There is nothing wrong with what Xu Wanning arranged.

"There is still an hour left before the agreed time, so we have plenty of time. So, Yaozong and I will go to the boutique to get the scarf, and the brothers will arrange for someone to go to store number two to get something and buy cigarettes. We will meet at the door in half an hour."

After saying that, Xu Wanning patted Lin Yaozong on the back and said, "Hurry up and push the cart. The boutique is far away. If you don't hurry up, half an hour will definitely not be enough!"

Hearing this, Lin Yaozong shuddered and hurriedly pushed the bicycle out. After Xu Wanning sat on the back seat, he pedaled frantically and rushed out like a gust of wind.

Xu Huajing looked at Lin Yaozong's back and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why do I feel that Yaozong's reaction is a little abnormal? I feel that he and Aning are hiding something from me."

"Of course! I am obviously my sister's younger brother, but now, Yaozong has ranked ahead of me!" Xu Maoning curled his lips, dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Wanning and Lin Yaozong were so close.

Yuan Xin poked Xu Maoning and said jokingly, "Are you still jealous? Are you childish?"

Xu Maoning snorted coldly: "My only sister was taken away by someone, shouldn't I be jealous?"

Lin Wansheng stretched out her long arms and put them on Xu Maoning's shoulders. "It's okay. I'm your sister too. I'm also Lin Yaozong's biological sister. They are close, and I'm closer to you!"

"Okay, Sister Wansheng, what I told you last time..."

Lin Wansheng turned her head and glared at Xu Maoning, gritting her teeth and saying, "Don't even think about it!"

Yuan Xin poked Xu Maoning: "What secret is there between you and Sister Wansheng? Mi actually hid it from me and didn't even tell me!"

Xu Maoning lowered his voice and said, "This matter must be kept secret for the time being. I will tell you as soon as it is done."

Yuan Xin curled her lips but didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, Xu Wanning, under the guidance of Lin Yaozong, arrived at the boutique in just over ten minutes.

"The boutique is not locked? Is Tang Ting inside?" Lin Yaozong was surprised to see that the door of the boutique was not locked. He walked forward and pushed the door, but it did not move.

"What's going on? Why is the door still locked?"

"Obviously, Tang Ting locked it from the inside."

Xu Wanning quietly transferred the key from the space to her coat pocket, then took out the key from her pocket. With a click, the door lock opened.

Xu Wanning pushed open the door, but found the first floor was quiet and empty.

"Where's Tang Ting? Isn't she in the boutique?"

"I guess he's still sleeping in the bedroom on the third floor. Sit here and rest for a while. I'll go upstairs and take a look."

Xu Wanning went up to the third floor with ease, found Tang Ting's bedroom, raised her hand and knocked gently on the door, "Tingting, are you there?"

Soon, the door was opened from the inside, revealing Tang Ting's delicate but slightly tired face. She was a little surprised to see Xu Wanning, "Wanning, why did you come here suddenly?"

"We are going to visit a relative today. I planned to bring some scarves as gifts. When I got here, I found that the door was locked from the inside. I thought you might be resting here, so I came up to find you."

Xu Wanning hasn't seen Tang Ting for several days. It must be said that her current condition is completely different from the last time they met before going to Heilongjiang Province.

Although Xu Wanning had heard from Chen Qiaoqiao about what happened to Tang Ting, she was still a little worried when she saw her like this.

"Tingting, I see you're not in good condition, are you okay?"

Tang Ting shook her head: "It's nothing serious, I just feel like life has lost all its meaning."

"What's going on?" Xu Wanning pushed Tang Ting into the house and asked, "What happened to you these days?"

Tang Ting narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Wanning: "Do you know what happened to me before?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "I just came back from Heilongjiang Province, and I heard Yaozong tell me that he hasn't contacted you for a few days. We are worried that something happened to you, but I thought your parents might have a prejudice against me, so I found Qiaoqiao and asked her to help check it out."

"Then that day, she was at your doorstep and heard you arguing with your family, so we deduced what happened."

"Your second brother and his wife are getting divorced, but it seems like you are the one who is having a hard time? What happened in the meantime? Do you mind telling me about it?"

Tang Ting wailed and fell on the bed, "My life is completely hopeless!"

"I'm afraid my second brother and Wang Jianqin won't be able to get divorced!"

"Why?" Xu Wanning was a little surprised: "Wang Jianqin did something like this. Given how much your parents love you, they definitely wouldn't indulge her. How come you can't get a divorce?"

Tang Ting subconsciously touched her belly, "Because Wang Jianqin is pregnant."

"She has been married to my second brother for several years. My eldest sister-in-law has given birth to two children, but she has not been pregnant. My parents were not anxious before, but they thought that they already have grandchildren. In addition, my second brother really likes Wang Jianqin and does not want to put pressure on her. So my parents have never forced them. They think it is better to let nature take its course."

"Originally, their divorce should have been finalized during the New Year holidays, but when my second brother went to the Wang family to talk about it, he unexpectedly found out that Wang Jianqin was pregnant!"

"My second brother liked Wang Jianqin to begin with, and he risked his life to marry her. What's more, Wang Jianqin's actions only hurt me, not him. He couldn't put himself in my shoes, so he just gave me some advice. Wang Jianqin also repeatedly assured me that she would not make such a mistake again, so we just let the divorce go."

"Then your parents..."

Tang Ting's eyes instantly turned red. After hesitating for a long time, she said quietly, "My parents probably think that grandchildren are more important than daughters."
