  Da Bao took care of himself after taking care of the three small ones. He covered himself with the blanket and soon fell asleep.

  It was the first time the triplets had encountered something like that. Not only were the four children frightened, but they were also tired. They had previously insisted that they didn’t want to sleep. However, after they lay on the bed, they fell asleep and even snored within three seconds. Zhai Hua opened the door to take a look. After confirming that the three children were sleeping well, she slowly closed the door again.

  The four children had fallen asleep. However, the situation downstairs in the Zhai family wasn’t good. If not for the soldiers standing guard in the military and political compounds, the people at the door would have long rushed in, squeezed into the Zhai family’s house, and smashed Elder Lin’s urns.

  On what basis should the urns of someone from the Lin family be placed in the Zhai family? It wasn’t as if everyone from the Lin family had died. One should know that there were plenty of people in the Lin family. Elder Lin’s funeral should be managed by them, his relatives. Who was that daughter-in-law from the Zhai family? She actually dared to manage Elder Lin’s funeral on behalf of them.

  Everyone understood in their hearts what Qiao Nan was up to. Wasn’t she going after the things in Elder Lin’s hands?

  How shameless!

  Elder Lin had passed away. Everything he owned should become the property of the Lin family. What business was it of that person surnamed Qiao? Even if she was going crazy from being poor, she shouldn’t have reached out and snatched the money away from someone else’s pocket. If Qiao Nan really dared to do that, the people surnamed Lin would definitely not let this matter past. They would pursue it to the end and make sure that Qiao Nan spat out whatever she had eaten!

  \r \r \r

  It was a pity that the people from the Lin family had small hearts and were firm enough. The problem was that the people from the Lin family were not Elder Lin, and Elder Lin wasn’t a soldier, yet he was able to stay in this quad. If the other people in the Lin family had the same ability as Elder Lin, how would they have eyed Elder Lin’s things? Or, before Elder Lin passed away, after knowing that Elder Lin was seriously ill, they should have used all means to let Elder Lin recuperate by their sides, prevented Elder Lin to make any contact with the lawyer, or used some methods to force Elder Lin to leave all the inheritance to them in the will.

  As such, the people from the Lin family were barking like dogs in the courtyard. They were kicking up such a big fuss that people thought that they had rabies and were afraid.

  Coincidentally, the lawyer who had brought over Elder Lin’s will and announced it to Qiao Nan hadn’t left yet. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to leave. It was that the people from the Lin family came at such a right timing that she was trapped in the courtyard and couldn’t head out.

  Upon hearing the clamor of the Lin family, the lawyer found it funny. Perhaps Elder Lin had deliberately made a trip to their law firm a year ago and had cleverly brought along a doctor who could prove that he was sober because Elder Lin had expected that after his passing, the people from the Lin family would display such disappointing behavior.

  The superficiality of human relationships. The people from the Lin family were really good-for-nothings.

  No wonder Elder Lin would rather leave behind everything to his disciple than to leave a penny to anyone surnamed Lin. With Elder Lin’s will around, no matter how these people kicked up a fuss, they would just be disgracing themselves and wouldn’t be getting any benefits at all.

  The lawyer couldn’t be bothered to say anything. They were just clowns. If they could come up with any tricks in the quad, she would write her name upside down.

  Upon seeing this situation, the lawyer had no other choice but to ask others if there was another way out of the quad. The front entrance was blocking everyone’s way. It was difficult for anyone to enter, let alone leave.

  After knowing that the lawyer was put in a difficult spot, someone from the Zhai family sent someone out to lead the way for her. The lawyer successfully left and returned to work in her law firm.

  Of course, the people from the Lin family wouldn’t give up so easily. However, since they couldn’t enter by the main gate, they had no choice but to crowd around the gate and lash out. This caused the others in the quad to be somewhat disturbed.

  After hearing about the situation, Peng Yu smiled. “Should we take action since it’s rare to encounter such an opportunity? So many people want to tap on Elder Lin, but nobody could be compared to the Zhai family, who has enjoyed exceptional advantages. After Elder Lin’s passing, seeing all the benefits that the Zhai family will gain, I think a number of people will be green with envy.”

  There were a few people who had the same mindset as those from the Lin family. They couldn’t bear for Elder Lin to leave those things behind. Who asked Elder Lin not to have any children? What was different was that the people from the Lin family were surnamed Lin and shared the same ancestor as Elder Lin. Regardless of how shallow their blood relationship was, it was a good reason for them to wage a war.

  If it were others, even if they didn’t share the same ancestor but had a good enough relationship with Elder Lin, they wouldn’t be able to be greedy for his things.

  If these two groups of people teamed up to deal with the Zhai family, Peng Yu could imagine that that scene would be delightful.

  “How do you want to take action?” His son had always been suppressed by Zhai Sheng for seven to eight years now. Perhaps he hadn’t given up yet, but as the father, his wild ambition wasn’t as vigorous as before. Father Peng said, “Peng Yu, when are you getting married? Can some things be decided already? She can’t possibly keep wasting time on you.”

  Upon mentioning his son’s marriage, Father Peng had a headache. Two years ago, Deng Wenchang wasn’t married yet either. Both families had a single, older male left. Father Peng didn’t feel as complicated back then. After all, his son wasn’t the only one. The problem was that this year, the Deng family’s son seemed to be preparing to get married. When Father Peng looked at his son again, he started to feel complicated in his heart.

  At the mention of marriage, Peng Yu frowned in irritation. “What’s the rush for? Men can get married at a later time. They have the ability to impregnate a woman even at the age of fifty. It isn’t convenient for a woman to conceive after the age of forty. You have a son. What are you worried about?”

  Peng Yu rejected marriage so much because of a previous joke.

  Peng Yu really had the desire to compete with Zhai Sheng. The Qiao Nan Zhai Sheng married gave birth to three children: two sons and a daughter. This made many people with military and political backgrounds envious. Everyone was complaining that they gave birth to too few children as they could only give birth to one.

  Who weren’t lacking sons and daughters? However, the country had made such a regulation. Nobody could work against the country.

  Giving birth to so many children in one go like Qiao Nan solved the problem of the number of children one could have and wouldn’t affect someone’s status in the military and political realm.

  As such, the triplets Qiao Nan gave birth to were still being talked about by the people in this circle as they were envious.
