A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

Zhao Xuemei had been too far away to hear An Ning and Wu Dingguo's conversation. She jogged over and, seeing the silent old man beside her, asked, "And who is this?"

“Cao Huiyun’s family members came to cause us trouble,” An Ning said.

"what?"

Zhao Xuemei was completely bewildered. She had thought this person was having a good chat, but it turned out he was here to cause trouble.

This infuriated Wu Dingguo, who slammed his cane heavily on the ground: "How dare you speak like that, young comrade? Can't we continue our conversation?"

"So what should I say? Should I say that you're coming to visit relatives at the military base for the New Year, and that you're just looking for trouble?"

"When did I say I was coming to cause trouble for you?" Wu Dingguo was speechless.

"What's your last name?" Anning asked him.

"Wu, the 'wu' in martial arts. What's wrong?"

An Ning nodded and looked at Zhao Xuemei: "Wu Jianhua's grandfather."

Wu Dingguo felt his face burning, but he hadn't done anything yet, which was a bit embarrassing.

"First, I didn't say I was here to cause trouble for you; second, my grandson was beaten, so it's not unreasonable for me to come and ask about the situation, is it?"

At this moment, Zhao Xuemei seemed to remember something, and quietly tugged at An Ning, then smiled and spoke to Wu Dingguo, "It's not excessive, not excessive at all. If that's the case, you don't need to go to the army. We're both involved, so you can just ask us any questions you have. The toy your grandson smashed was made by An Ning for her daughter. My son started it, and there were too many other children involved. Even if you wanted to know the details, you couldn't just call them all in and ask them, could you?"

"What? There are other children?"

Wu Dingguo's eyes widened. His daughter-in-law hadn't mentioned that!

"It seems you don't understand many things. Why would you come here to cause trouble?" An Ning ignored Zhao Xuemei's reminder and said coolly from the side.

Wu Dingguo certainly couldn't say that his daughter-in-law forbade him to come, and that he had come secretly on his own.

He quickly found one point that was hard to refute: "Even if I don't know many things, it's true that my daughter-in-law compensated you two hundred yuan, right? What kind of toy is so expensive? Two hundred yuan is enough for me to buy a bicycle."

"Airplane," An Ning said succinctly.

Zhao Xuemei kindly added from the side: "The kind of remote-controlled airplane that can fly up, down, left, and right."

"An airplane?!" Wu Dingguo's eyes widened even more. "You can fly an airplane?"

After all, he was a retired soldier, so his focus was different from others.

Others might immediately notice that the child's toy can fly, but he accurately grasped the key words "the toy Anning made for her daughter".

Although Wu Dingguo was troubled by the fact that his benefactor had suddenly become the “enemy” he was looking for, he had not forgotten that An Ning had told him before that she was the one who improved the entrenching tool.

He can improve entrenching tools and build airplanes; he's definitely a talented individual!

“It’s not the kind of airplane you’re thinking of; it’s a small, radio-controlled toy airplane,” Anning emphasized.

"What toy airplane? Don't think I'm too old to know anything just because I'm retired. During the war in the south, the old country of the Light developed a large number of drones. We managed to shoot down a few and sent them to the capital. Although we don't know how they are controlled, as long as they can fly, they can achieve the same effect."

"That's not important..."

“If even this isn’t important, what is?” Wu Dingguo interrupted her.

An Ning said leisurely, "You're here to settle scores for your grandson, aren't you? You've come all this way just for this, don't put the cart before the horse."

Wu Dingguo was speechless again, choked by An Ning's words: "You little comrade, can't you speak properly! Always so sarcastic. I only yelled at you twice at the beginning, didn't I? I didn't say I came to cause trouble, I came to understand the situation! Understand the situation, understand?"

"I understand. We'll find out the situation first, and then we'll find a place to defend ourselves."

Wu Dingguo: ...

Although that's what he really thought, there was no need to say it so directly.

Instantly, his imposing manner diminished.

He muttered, "Well... you didn't have to beat my grandson like that, did you? He's covered in so much skin, and his face is all swollen."

Why don't you ask what your grandson did?

"What did he do? He just wanted to borrow your daughter's toys to play with, right? If he didn't want to, fine, but why did he have to hit her!"

"Oh? That's what Cao Huiyun told you?"

Wu Dingguo, enraged and embarrassed, retorted: "Otherwise what? She can't possibly lie to me, can she?"

An Ning thought for a moment and said, "I didn't lie to you, but I omitted some steps, such as the attitude of your grandson when he borrowed the money from my daughter, and why he was beaten."

Just as Wu Dingguo was about to ask what was going on, a group of children suddenly ran out of the military gate in the distance, led by a little boy and a little girl.

"mom!"

"mom!"

Running up to An Ning and Zhao Xuemei, Xu Pengfei looked at Shen Changle triumphantly: "See, I told you that's Mom!"

"How did you all get out? Didn't I tell you you could only play inside and not come out?"

Zhao Xuemei wiped the sweat from her son's face, while Anning pinched her daughter's soft little cheek.

“We didn’t run around. We only came out because we saw you,” the little girl said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

The other children looked at Anning with sparkling eyes, and one of them boldly asked, "Aunt Anning, I heard you made some delicious eel strips for Shen Changle. Can we try some?"

It seems these two kids aren't just playing; they're also promoting what she made.

The bowl of eel strips was almost empty, with hardly any left. She simply handed the bowl over, saying, "Eat up, eat up, and remember to bring the bowl back to me when you're done."

"Great!"

The children, having received the eel strips, immediately gathered around.

Shen Changle and Xu Pengfei had already eaten their fill the previous two days, so they weren't as hungry.

The main reason I told my friends was to show off.

This sudden turn of events interrupted what Wu Dingguo was about to say.

He glanced at the tiny Shen Changle, then at Xu Pengfei who only reached his mother's waist, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two children, unable to accept reality.

"Is this your daughter, and is this her son?"

"Otherwise what?" An Ning glanced at him sideways.

Seeing this group of children, is it even necessary to ask who the other children who beat his grandson are?

Wu Dingguo felt even more ashamed.

His grandson is almost as tall as his mother, and he was beaten up like that by a group of kids so much younger than him.

During the War of Resistance against Japan, many children his grandson's age had already gone to the battlefield to fight the Japanese, but what about his grandson?

Regardless of who is right or wrong, the result is already there, and it's incredibly embarrassing!

How could Wu Dingguo have raised such a grandson!
