Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

"It's Qiao Lingyue and Tao Yingzhen!"

As expected, Qiao Runming was not Old Lady Qiao's biological son.

Qiao Manman thought about having the system help record the audio signal.

"Who is Qiao Lingyue? Who is Tao Yingzhen? Why are you raising Qiao Runming?"

"Qiao Lingyue... is Professor Qiao from the university? Tao Yingzhen is Miss Tao."

They were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.

"What about you?"

"I am a second-class maid in the young lady's courtyard. I like Brother Qiao, but the young lady has betrothed me to the Qiao family's stableman."

Later, Brother Qiao went to study in the United States, and Miss gave birth to her son seven months after he left.

The young master is fair-skinned and adorable, but his life isn't very fortunate.

The baby was born just as the Japanese devils entered the city, burning, killing, and looting everywhere.

At the time, Master Tao was doing business in another city, and his steward led the way by absconding with the money.

The young lady is in poor health and asked me to take the young master with her first.

I hate her. She could have been my concubine, but she disregarded my wishes and married me off to a good-for-nothing stable boy.

So, I hid her son. I hid him for more than half a year.

Until the Tao family sent someone to find me, I decided to use a substitute son, my third son, to impersonate the young master.

"Didn't the Tao family have any suspicions?"

"Hahaha, how could they possibly suspect anything!"

The two children were born one after the other, and their body shapes were not much different.

In addition, the groom was a distant relative of the head of the Qiao family, and the two looked three or four parts alike.

This baby, only six months old, is easy to fool.

"So, the money in your house..."

"It was exchanged for gold given by the Tao family!"

They actually treated me like a savior, thanking me for saving their young master!

"What about the locking plate?"

"The lock plates were made by Brother Qiao himself, and every young master of the Qiao family has one."

I originally intended to return it, but I couldn't bear to part with it. So I kept it as a memento.

At first, he treated the child with all his heart, but the more he grew up, the more he resembled that bitch Tao Yingzhen.

I hate it! Why? Why was she able to escape danger and stay with Brother Qiao?

I was widowed at a young age, and burdened for most of my life by the stable boy's child!

"So, Qiao Zhenbang wasn't the groom's son?"

"Hahaha, he doesn't deserve it! My first time should of course be given to the master."

Qiao Zhenbang is the child of me and my cousin, the young master of the Tao family.

Qiao Manman: "..." This is truly a tangled mess!

"So, you're in contact with the fake young master, and they know about the situation here?"

Grandma Qiao hesitated for a moment: "Yes, I wrote to him before the New Year, hoping to see him."

He was afraid his family would discover his identity, so he asked me to help him find the locket and send it back.

Qiao Manman took a deep breath, thinking that she was getting close to the truth.

Where does Qiao Lingyue live?

No. 286, Paiyun Street, Gusu District!

That matches up! She's truly a ruthless person. Just like Old Lady Qiao.

Qiao Manman then inquired about the two's communication history. After getting a clear understanding, she had Grandma Qiao write down the crime on a piece of paper, sign it, and put her fingerprint on it.

Qiao Manman covered Qiao Laotai's mouth and forcefully broke her ankle.

A muffled groan came from inside the house; Old Mrs. Qiao had fainted from the pain.

The system scraped off a bit of the Forget-Me-Not Pill and fed it to Old Lady Qiao. After it took effect, Qiao Manman climbed over the wall and escaped.

He jogged away from the production team, took out his electric scooter, and headed straight for the commune.

By comparing the audio signals of the surrounding houses, they quickly located Qin Youbin's house.

It was the middle of the night, and Qiao Zhenzhen was still awake, being tossed and turned by Qin Youbin.

Thinking of the cauliflower on Qin Youbin's body, Qiao Manman shuddered. Even through the wall, it looked disgusting.

After eavesdropping for a while, I left and headed straight for the sugar factory.

A huge poster was pasted on the wall, depicting a man with an exaggeratedly wide-open mouth.

Next to the large mouth were several eye-catching cauliflowers, with the words "Qin Youbin, Cauliflower Man" written below!

Qiao Manman enjoyed the view for a while, then rode her bike home to sleep.

In her dream, she transformed into a goddess of justice, smashing all the scumbags in the world.

In the early morning, the warm sunlight shone on the earth. Qiao Manman stretched and got out of bed, and smelled the delicious aroma of fried eggs.

The system recorded Grandma Qiao's audio signal onto a tape. Qiao Manman went out in her pajamas, looked at her parents, and pressed the play button on the tape recorder without saying a word.

"Qiao Lingyue is..." Old Mrs. Qiao's voice came, and Qiao Runming and He Nian were both stunned.

After hearing the other party's confession, the two were very unsettled.

"Dad, what's your opinion?"

Qiao Manman sat down opposite Qiao Runming and said bluntly, "My grandparents' identities are questionable. You'd better play along and protect yourself."

Qiao Runming smiled wryly: "Your grandparents are so powerful, they probably wouldn't want a son like me who's not presentable!"

Qiao Manman pouted: "If you know you can't do it, then work hard. Why wallow in self-pity? You're only in your thirties, the perfect age to strive!"

Qiao Runming felt extremely ashamed by what his daughter said and nodded: "Manman is right, I have to be more ambitious."

"I'll go and acknowledge my relatives after I've achieved some success, or after things have calmed down."

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, then carried the tape recorder back to the next room and put it into her storage space.

She went out to the yard to do some stretching exercises, and fed the big yellow dog and the little hen some food before going back inside to look through the gifts the Lu family had sent her.

There are three sets of summer clothes, one for her and one for her parents.

The three packets of milk powder were probably for Qiao Runming to supplement his calcium intake.

What else? Face cream, silk scarves, milk candy, chocolate, red hair ties...

It's all things girls like.

Qiao Manman picked out some edible and usable items and gave them to Qiao Runming and He Nian.

"It was sent by Lu Yuan's relatives!"

The couple were overjoyed and pulled Qiao Manman aside to ask about Lu Yuan's condition.

Qiao Manman is suffering; she knows nothing.

That scoundrel of a man clearly said he would write to her and send her his salary, but he's been gone for a month and hasn't heard from her at all.

If I hadn't received the package, I would have assumed the other person had broken up with me unilaterally.

After chatting for a while, Qiao Manman left.

He ordered a pair of crutches from a carpenter and also asked him to make a wheelchair.

"Uncle, look, add wheels to both sides of the chair, and a handle at the back..."

The carpenter thought about it and agreed that he could do it, so he accepted the order. Qiao Manman then bought several more wooden flower troughs from the same supplier.

"Um, just give me a penny or two."

They're all made of nailed wooden boards, they're worthless.

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and took several flower beds from the yard home.

One went to the foot of Daqing Mountain to dig up some soil to store in their spatial storage, while the other dug up some soil from their spatial storage and put it outside.

Ten wheat grains were sown at the same time in two separate places, and their growth was observed.

By the way, we also cleared out a vegetable patch in the yard to plant as a control group.

"Mom, please keep an eye on things for me, and make sure the little hen doesn't come over here to eat grass!"

He Nian didn't know what she was up to, but she had complete respect for her daughter.

He nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

They even helped to fence off the experimental field with tree branches.

Qiao Manman watered the seeds and went back inside to rest. Completely unaware, the commune had exploded!

Early in the morning, the retired cadres got up to exercise and immediately noticed the poster at the entrance of the sugar factory.

I thought it was some comrades stirring up trouble, but when I got closer, I was stunned.
