Wu Dingguo's mind was buzzing. His eldest grandson was very well-behaved in front of him, but he never expected him to be like this outside.

He said his daughter-in-law wasn't the type to let things go after being bullied, so why did she come back so angry? It turns out it was because of this.

Wu Dingguo dared not let An Ning continue speaking. First it was his eldest grandson, then his daughter-in-law. He didn't know what An Ning would say next.

But reality often brings exactly what you fear most.

After the children finished their performance, An Ning had somehow appeared beside Wu Dingguo and said softly, "Grandpa, which do you think is more like a capitalist: your grandson's behavior or my making toys for my daughter by hand?"

Wu Dingguo was immediately jolted awake: "What capitalist behavior? Jianhua is just spoiled by his elders."

"So, I guess it's me, a working-class person who relies entirely on my own labor, who's the capitalist."

"No, why are you picking on capitalists? None of us are capitalists, so you can't just say things like that!"

However, An Ning's eyes held a hint of mockery: "This isn't what I said, it's what your daughter-in-law said. She said I have a capitalist's mentality and shouldn't make such nice toys for the children!"

Wu Dingguo: ...These are indeed the words his daughter-in-law would say, and there's absolutely no way to refute them.

It turned out that there was no attempt to smooth things over; instead, his words were met with a rebuttal, and he just happened to stumble upon it.

Even if Wu Dingguo usually gets along well with his daughter-in-law, he can't help but feel some resentment at times like this.

If she had told him the truth about what happened, he wouldn't have made this trip, right?

Not only did he sprain his ankle, but he also lost all face.

Wu Dingguo said with a bitter face, "Well, Comrade Anning, this is indeed my grandson's fault. My daughter-in-law is just too doting on the child. She was thirty-five when she gave birth to this precious baby, so it's inevitable that she spoils him a bit. What kind of compensation do you need? I'll try my best to meet your needs, okay?"

Since Wu Dingguo apologized so readily, An Ning felt embarrassed to pursue the matter any further.

After all, since we met, this old man has never had any bad intentions and is wholeheartedly devoted to the country. We can't just pin the things his grandson and daughter-in-law did on him.

"No need for that. Your daughter-in-law has already given me the compensation. All you need to do is acknowledge that this was a problem between your grandson and daughter-in-law."

"I admit it, I admit it!"

How could I possibly deny it!

They were practically being yelled at to their faces!

Fortunately, he had already arrived at the military base, and Wu Dingguo left dejectedly after admitting his mistake.

However, it wasn't just about the children fighting; the other party had also helped him treat his foot earlier, something Wu Dingguo would never forget.

However, he no longer wanted to stay here. As for repaying the debt, he would think about it later!

Since he was already there, he decided to talk to his old buddies first to find out what was going on.

Where did this young comrade named Shen Anning come from?

Are those guys blind?

Let her run around outside by herself.

If you can even manufacture drones, why don't you hurry up and recruit yourself into the organization to contribute to it?

The island has been anything but peaceful these past few years. It's been infiltrated by spies from various countries. What if someone finds out and kidnaps us?

After Wu Dingguo left, Shen Changle and Xu Pengfei stopped playing with their friends.

One of the children was precocious, and the other was both intelligent and adept at handling situations. They quickly began to guess Wu Dingguo's identity.

Later, after listening to their conversations, I confirmed this.

However, the children did not understand many of Anning's actions. The fact that the old man who was obviously there to cause trouble left so dejectedly shocked them even more.

In fact, the school is a small society. They had heard about Wu Jianhua's identity when they were in school, but they were still young and didn't understand these things. Even if they knew that Wu Jianhua's grandfather was very powerful, they didn't know how powerful he was.

Regardless, the fact that Mom (Aunt Anning) was able to talk such a formidable old man away shows that she is even more formidable.

"Mommy, Mommy, is that old man here to cause you trouble?"

Watching Wu Dingguo flee in panic, Shen Changle hugged her mother's leg.

Xu Pengfei also grabbed An Ning's hand, his eyes sparkling: "Auntie, you're amazing! Many of them are afraid of Wu Jianhua's grandfather, but you were the only one who chased him away with just a few words!"

"cough!"

An Ning coughed lightly. Although that was the case, she couldn't say it out loud.

The other party's identity was, after all, extraordinary. The reason he left was because he was still bound by morality.

If he were shameless enough, he wouldn't care about the facts at all. He could use his connections to make it impossible for An Ning to stay in the army, and it might even affect Song Wenyuan who is on a mission abroad.

“It’s not that Auntie is so great, it’s that Auntie was in the right and that grandpa wasn’t, that’s why he left, understand?” Anning used this opportunity to teach the two children, “You should be like this in the future, never go out of your way to cause trouble. As long as you are in the right, we adults will stand firmly on your side. If you go out of your way to bully other children like Wu Jianhua and get beaten up, we can’t help you get revenge.”

The two children nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Especially you, don't resort to violence so easily in the future."

An Ning gave Xu Pengfei a special mention. This kid was stubborn and would rush in to fight at the drop of a hat, and several times he had beaten people up on behalf of his parents.

Even if Chang Le wasn't involved, if Xu Pengfei got hurt because of Chang Le, she and Chang Le wouldn't feel good about it, so they had to remind him repeatedly.

However, this child has a rather unique way of thinking, so perhaps she could try other methods.

"You dare to hit someone so much older than you? What if he ignores everyone else and just beats you up? You're shorter than him, your legs are shorter, and you can't run as fast as him. If he keeps his eyes on you, you'll be just as badly injured as him."

Xu Pengfei lowered his head.

His mother didn't criticize him this time, and he even thought he did the right thing. The other children also thought he was amazing, which made him feel a little smug.

But after An Ning said that, Xu Pengfei felt a wave of fear wash over him.

He had been beaten by Wu Jianhua when he helped the chubby boy, but the chubby boy was beaten more severely.

If Wu Jianhua were to target him alone, he dared not imagine what would become of him.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Anning, I won't do it again next time."

"You should apologize to your mother, not me. She was so worried when she found out you were in the hospital that she grabbed me and rushed there immediately."

Xu Pengfei's eyes reddened, and he buried his face in Zhao Xuemei's arms, his voice choked with sobs: "I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong."

Zhao Xuemei watched in amazement. She usually couldn't reason with this boy no matter how much she scolded him, but after An Ning said a few words, he took the initiative to admit his mistake.

However, she still comforted her, saying, "It's good that you know you were wrong. The important thing is whether there will be a next time."

Seeing that he had realized his mistake, An Ning guided him, "The enemy is strong and you are weak. You don't like him, but there are many ways to deal with him. There's no need to confront him head-on. Doesn't Wu Jianhua have friends? Don't they all want to fly airplanes? If you let his friends fly and don't let him, they will naturally turn against each other. You don't even need to lift a finger; they might start fighting on their own. Don't you think so?"

"I know I know!"

Xu Pengfei climbed out of his mother's arms, wiped his snot and tears, his little face flushed, and blurted out, "I heard Uncle Liu say that this is a divisive tactic!"

“That’s right.” Anning gave him an encouraging look. “Don’t you guys often hear stories about Sun Tzu’s Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Why don’t you use them in other areas? When you’re still weak, your brain is often more useful than your fists.”
