Ren Rongzheng examined the small, tattered box closely. What was it? It was hidden under a pile of his clothes, completely covered by them.

Ren Rongzheng took it out and examined it closely. It looked quite mysterious. Was it Pandora's box? Just as Ren Rongzheng was about to open it out of curiosity, a reprimand rang out behind him.

"Who gave you permission to hide here and touch my things?"

Ren Rongzheng was completely absorbed in the box when he suddenly shouted at her from behind. Startled, she flinched, and the box slipped from her grasp. And then…

Although the man was in a wheelchair, he was very agile and caught it very quickly.

"When did you get here? You suddenly yelled at me from behind, it startled me."

"You think you're in the right to peek at my things?"

"Your stuff? I'm peeking? We're husband and wife, and it's just a broken box. Don't I even have the right to open it and take a look?"

In the 21st century, cell phones are a taboo for men. No woman can walk away from a man's cell phone with a smile. She has been reborn into the 1980s, where men didn't have cell phones anymore, they had broken boxes instead.

“Everyone has their own secrets, and couples are no exception.” After Zhan Beiqin finished speaking, he saw Ren Rongzheng’s angry eyes. Afraid that she would snatch it away to see it, he made up another sentence on the spot.

"These are the belongings of my ex-fiancée, Yan Qing. They've always been kept in this box. I'd like to keep them for a while. Is that alright?"

Hehe, she really laughed when asked that question.

"It's really touching. After so long of marriage, there's not a trace of your white moonlight in our family. We thought she had left his heart, but we didn't expect that you secretly kept her in your heart. Her belongings are still in your box."

Zhan Beiqin, if you weren't among the top ten most devoted men in Country A, I would feel indignant on your behalf. But since you are so devoted to your white moonlight, even if you don't go with her, wouldn't it be better to remain chaste for her for the rest of your life?

Other men, to continue their family line, are forced to marry and have children even if they don't love them. Your lover's heart has died with her, and you don't want the children. So why did you send a matchmaker to my house to propose marriage in the first place? Did you think I couldn't get married and wanted to marry me to be your maid, or were you just playing with me?

"..."

After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, Zhan Beiqin was speechless for a moment. He did not expect that the reason he made up casually would cause her to react so strongly.

"That's not what I meant." Zhan Beiqin's explanation was weak, and that was the end of it.

Then Zhan Nanjin ran in and called out, "Brother, sister-in-law, is there anything else we need to move?"

"I can never figure out what you mean, so there's no need for you to explain, and I don't want to know."

Ren Rongzheng said something to Zhan Beiqin, then went out and said to Zhan Nanjin who ran in, "You've worked hard, Nanjin. There are only a few small items left. I'll go pack them up."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll help you."

Afterwards, Zhan Nanjin started helping Ren Rongzheng pack up. Once everything was packed, he helped her move. They moved from one home in the military compound to another, which was naturally seen by many people.

Now that Zhan Beiqin is a brigade commander, he often helps out the families of soldiers he sees. When he passed by Zhang Laifu's yard, Jiang Shufen was washing clothes in the yard. She saw Ren Rongzheng and called out to him.

"Is the Ren family's daughter moving? Do you need any help?"

"No need, Sister Jiang."

The fact that Jiang Shufen is still taking the initiative to talk to her means that she already knows about the theft at her construction site and is just there to see her make a fool of herself.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, I've moved. Although we're still in the military family compound, it's farther apart now. If you want to eavesdrop or laugh at me, you'll have to walk a little further."

Although Zhan Nanjin didn't know any of these people and had no understanding of them, she quickly chimed in after hearing Ren Rongzheng say so.

“My sister-in-law has moved to a bigger house. If she wants to visit, she’ll have to walk a bit further. But she’s busy with her career, so please make sure to check before you go, so you don’t end up going all that way only to find it empty.”

Zhan Nanjin's words made Jiang Shufen's face stiffen. Seeing her like this, Ren Rongzheng and Zhan Nanjin couldn't help but smile at each other.

After walking a little further away, Zhan Nanjin asked, "Sister-in-law, are these military wives really that difficult to get along with?"

"No, most of them are very simple and easy to get along with. There are very few exceptions. She must have heard that my factory was robbed and asked me this question out of schadenfreude."

"Your sister-in-law's factory was robbed; you must have lost a lot of money, right?"

"Of course, but it's better to lose money than to suffer a greater disaster. It's alright, I'll earn back all the money I lost in the future."

"Yes, I believe you, sister-in-law!"

Ren Rongzheng and Zhan Nanjin moved their belongings to the new house. When they arrived, Ren Rongzheng was surprised to find that it was not as messy as he had imagined, but rather neat and tidy.

The large items that were moved over have all been placed in their respective locations, and the items that needed to be installed have also been installed.

Before she could even sigh, Lin Musen came out, looking travel-worn, and took the things from Ren Rongzheng and Zhan Nanjin.

"Sister-in-law, where should we put these?"

Ren Rongzheng pointed, and Lin Musen immediately went to tidy it up, his movements were particularly swift.

"Sister-in-law, I watched all the big items being moved here, but some things might not be in the right place. Take a look and see if there's anything wrong so I can rearrange them."

Ren Rongzheng looked around and, without any falsehood, said that she was very satisfied.

"There's nothing that needs adjusting, everything is perfect."

"That's good. I'll go back and see if there's anything else that needs to be moved." Lin Musen wiped his sweat and immediately went out again, showing he really had inexhaustible energy.

"Lin Musen is great, very professional."

"That's right. Brother Musen came to repair our classrooms and roads before. He also went when we moved the classrooms. He's a very capable worker."

"I see it."

Lin Musen and Zhan Nanjin did most of the work; Zhan Tianzhu and Zhang Shuqin didn't do much. When they saw Ren Rongzheng arrive, Zhang Shuqin started urging him on relentlessly again.

Before they came, they had already discussed that if no one arranged a good job for Lin Musen, they would have to stay here for a while now that they had moved into the big house.

"Daughter-in-law, I just heard it from the people in this compound. They said the factory you're building was stolen?"

"Yes, my father-in-law knows. The speed at which this bad news spread was truly beyond my expectations."

"It's a bad thing, but not that bad, daughter-in-law, don't worry." Zhan Tianzhu paused here, glanced at Zhang Shuqin, and then said:

“Daughter-in-law, we must learn from this experience. We can’t keep an eye on things by hiring older people to guard the gate. When a thief comes, they run away faster than the thief. In the end, the best gatekeeper is still our own people.”

Look at Mu Sen, he's strong and healthy. He could easily beat ten thieves. As for wages, just give him something, enough to give him a foothold in this big city and make a living.

"We already discussed finding a job for Lin Musen at the dinner table. We can't help you with that, so let's not bring it up again."

Before Ren Rongzheng could respond after Zhan Tianzhu finished speaking, Zhan Beiqin, who was pushing a wheelchair over, spoke first.

He never backs down when it comes to Lin Musen's work.

“I think Father-in-law is absolutely right. The gatekeeper should be one of our own. Lin Musen is strong and capable. I think it’s a waste of his talents to just have him guard the gate.”

I plan to train him to be a skilled worker, an engineer. Have you heard of that? In the future, he'll always be carrying a briefcase under his arm, with slicked-back hair, a fitted suit, black leather shoes, and a mobile phone in his hand.

Just imagine her! Think of her like a superstar! You're so lucky to have raised such an outstanding daughter—a graduate of a prestigious university! How amazing! Even if your own son can't be relied upon, you still have such a dependable stepson. You'll enjoy endless blessings in your later years.

Ren Rongzheng immediately undermined Zhan Beiqin. Even if he hadn't said that, she would have had to think it over. Since he had made the decision for her, she would tell him who the real owner of the factory was.
