Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

So that's what they were planning.

In her past life, Song Lingge was muddle-headed and ignorant of human relationships, neglecting many things and unintentionally hurting many people who loved her.

Among them were her beloved maternal grandparents.

When she was little, Song Lingge actually grew up with her maternal grandparents, and her name was given to her by her maternal grandfather, Zhao Zhangguo.

"A song of water chestnuts is worth a thousand pieces of gold," my grandfather said. In his heart, this song of water chestnuts was worth a thousand pieces of gold.

The name of her mother, Zhao Jueyu, was also given by her maternal grandfather, taken from the phrase "the years pass, the songs are sung, and the rain is felt."

Zhao Zhangguo was a very talented man and a highly respected figure in Nanzhou.

I was very opposed to Zhao Jueyu marrying Song Jianping. In today's terms, Song Jianping was a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success).

However, Zhao Jueyu, an only child, is obsessed with romance.

Zhao Zhangguo is a very principled person. When Zhao Jueyu insisted on marrying him, he refused to give her a single penny as dowry.

After Zhao Jueyu got married, he didn't allow Song Jianping to visit his home until Song Lingge was born, at which point things improved.

In order to spare his granddaughter from hardship, he suggested that Song Lingge stay at their home, to which Song Jianping readily agreed without complaint.

Zhao Zhangguo then treated him kindly and even arranged a job for him, teaching at Nanzhou Middle School. A few years later, he became the principal of Nanzhou Middle School.

The Zhao couple took even better care of Song Lingge, but little did they know that their family's "love-obsessed" genes were too strong, and Song Lingge was no exception.

Song Lingge's marriage to Fang Guanghua dealt a devastating blow to Zhao Zhangguo.

There's no need to dwell on the past life; in this life, Song Lingge will never again cause her grandparents heartache.

"What? My dad arranged for your brother, wasn't that enough? He wants to arrange for your son too?" Zhao Jueyu's tone was very unpleasant.

Upon hearing this, Song Jianmei immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Sister-in-law, how can you talk like that? My son may not be very capable, but my brother is a genuine top student. How can you say he relies on his father-in-law?"

While it is true that the Zhao family supported Song Jianping, there are always some people who, when life is peaceful, always feel that they are capable.

Zhao Jueyu's words made Song Jianping very uncomfortable, and his heart involuntarily leaned towards Song Jianmei. In fact, he had always favored his sister, but he just didn't realize it.

Not wanting Zhao Jueyu to suffer a loss, Song Lingge quickly opened the door and came out.

She stretched and said, "Mom, aren't you going to cook? I'm starving."

Zhao Jueyu then took back what she had said. Since she didn't want to deal with the two siblings anyway, she might as well go out and cook, out of sight, out of mind.

Song Lingge sat down next to Song Jianmei: "Aunt, I overheard what you were talking about. Don't blame my mother, she didn't mean it that way."

"What does she mean by that? How could she talk about my brother like that? And isn't my son her nephew, your cousin?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Song Lingge chimed in, and Song Jianmei's tone softened. Looking at her with a smile, she said, "Lingge has really grown up. I like her more and more the more I look at her. If..."

Knowing he was up to no good, Song Lingge quickly interrupted, "Aunt, why don't you let Cousin Feng join the army?"

"Join the army?"

“That’s right. The country is strongly encouraging people to join the army right now. Haven’t you put up any slogans in your village? Like, ‘Our predecessors fought for the country and their achievements will be recorded in history; the people of today will defend the motherland and carry on the legacy,’ ‘Strengthen national defense education and enhance national defense awareness,’ and ‘Strengthening the construction of the People’s Army is the common responsibility of the whole Party and the whole people.’ Listen to how inspiring they are. One person joining the army brings honor to the whole family.”

"Really?" Song Jianmei was a little incredulous and glanced at Song Jianping.

Actually, as soon as Song Lingge said it, he wanted to say it was a good idea.

Chen Bingfeng, that good-for-nothing, is driving him crazy. Since his family can't teach him properly, he might as well hand him over to the state and let the state teach him how to be a person.

“Yes, the country is indeed encouraging young people to join the army now.” Song Jianping agreed.

"Auntie, auntie, and let me tell you, don't always say that Cousin Feng is useless and doesn't live up to expectations. We're all grown up now, and we care about our reputation, especially boys. Go home and talk to him nicely, and let him join the army. We'll all be proud of him then!"

Song Lingge's words were actually meant to urge Song Jianmei to go back quickly and persuade Chen Bingfeng. However, Song Jianmei misunderstood them.

However, the most important thing now is her son's enlistment in the army. Song Jianmei couldn't sit still any longer and immediately decided to return to the village.

Of course, even in her haste, she didn't forget to grab a piece of pork belly, several dozen kilograms of rice, and a bucket of oil.

Song Jianmei had originally planned to make braised pork for dinner, but Zhao Jueyu didn't mind anymore.

If they can get rid of this plague god, then, if all goes well, that little plague god won't be able to bother them for several years.

Zhao Jueyu was really happy, but Song Lingge was even more gratified. She hadn't expected Song Lingge to solve this problem with just a few words.

In the evening, Zhao Jueyu cooked a large table of dishes.

Sweet and sour crucian carp, Sichuan-style chicken, cold shredded lettuce, pickled potato slices, and fish-flavored eggplant.

"Wow, Mom is so kind, she made all my favorite foods." Song Lingge, her mouth watering, reached out and grabbed a piece of Sichuan-style chicken to eat.

Zhao Jueyu smiled and slapped her hand: "Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner will be served soon."

I was very satisfied with the meal.

Zhao Jueyu placed a piece of sweet and sour crucian carp on her plate, removed the bones, and then handed it to her.

How did you come up with this idea?

Zhao Jueyu was referring to the matter of getting Chen Bingfeng to join the army. Song Lingge secretly glanced at Song Jianping's expression.

Sure enough, Zhao Jueyu's words provoked him.

Song Lingge quickly replied, "Our school has put up a lot of slogans, and some boys are even planning to join the army. I was thinking, although Cousin Feng was a bit wrong before, joining the army is an honor, and maybe he'll change his ways once he gets there. There's an old saying, 'A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold,' so letting Cousin Feng go out and gain some experience is definitely better than being a gatekeeper."

Song Lingge said this both to save face for Song Jianping and as a reminder that her solution was better than his, so she shouldn't argue with Zhao Jueyu anymore.

After experiencing so much, Song Lingge suddenly realized that when she set aside her identity as a daughter and looked at Song Jianping from an outsider's perspective, he was truly worthless.

He's incompetent yet has a terrible temper. He relies on his father-in-law but won't admit it, and he likes to put on a show in front of his family back home.

I was completely blinded by the concept of family ties before, so I never paid attention to these things.

Thinking of what Fang Guanghua said in her previous life, and the girl she met when she registered as a freshman, Song Lingge decided to go home every week from now on.

Although he is her biological father, she can no longer trust him unconditionally.

Zhao Jueyu is a hopeless romantic, and it's uncertain whether what she did will hurt her.

Song Lingge decided to spend more time with Zhao Jueyu and pay close attention to her mother's true thoughts.

"Lingge, go out with Mom after dinner."
