Although there was someone to take care of them, after all, people had jobs to attend to, especially during such times, bustling here and there. The two did not trouble others unless necessary and tried to solve things by themselves.

The family that used to live there was indeed a bit domineering, but as Ge Lao and Fu Granny had said, the environment was tough, but their hearts weren’t bad. It was just a place to sleep, and having a place to sleep was enough, so naturally, they didn’t fuss over it.

Later, when Su Shu brought Xiao’ai and the Luo family to move in, there were even more children in the tent.

Ge Lao and his partner didn’t have children, and at such an old age, they naturally loved kids.

The children from the previous family were too mischievous, running east and west making a racket, and all day you could hear their mother either shouting or scolding.

Still, the old couple thoroughly enjoyed watching the younger generation slipping and sliding around, playfully fighting—it also put them in a good mood.

The two boys from the Luo family were lively, active, and polite. Every time they came and went, they would eagerly shout, “Grandpa, Grandma,” warming the old couple’s hearts.

Xiao’ai didn’t talk much, but the child always seemed to wander over to their side unintentionally. Sometimes, she would touch Fu Granny’s reading glasses, other times, she would look at the book in Ge Lao’s hands, not even sure if she could understand, her bright eyes just staring.

Truth be told, it didn’t matter where Ge Lao and his partner lived.

They had experienced much in life, lived through long years, including times of famine when they were young, so they were calmer than others.

Before the old couple had the idea to live with these two families, there was a small incident that had a big impact.

Su Shu, living opposite, was recently tangled in rampant rumors with the group captain of the stationed soldiers.

Su Shu definitely hadn’t crossed any lines, but every now and then the old couple would hear some nasty gossip which was hard to listen to, saying all kinds of things.

Some said Su Shu was shameless, using her good looks to seduce the military leader in such circumstances, others said, seeing how well she and her child were eating and dressed, surely everything was given by the leader from the relief supplies, and so on and so forth.

Word spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred; that’s how rumors work, they mutate when passed around enough.

So, during that time, the couple personally witnessed crowds coming to “greet” Su Shu.

Admiring this and that about her possessions, sitting down, and not leaving, praising her left and right; their intentions were written all over their faces—they wouldn’t leave without getting something.

The couple watched as Su Shu helplessly and enduringly gave away her own things to others, until there was hardly anything left to give.

Initially, Fu Granny was a bit worried, and said to her partner, “She’s given everything away, what about herself, and what about the child?”

Ge Lao patted his partner’s hand, “If she really had a thing with the group captain, he wouldn’t let her come to harm. Just wait and see, this kid isn’t having it easy.”

The old couple originally thought that Su Shu would continue being “soft-hearted,” but later, when someone started eyeing Xiao’ai’s few bags of milk powder as their ration, the child exploded.

Scathingly mocking without using a single curse word, she spoke to those who couldn’t refute and left dejectedly.

A look of admiration flashed in Ge Lao’s aged eyes as he said to his partner, “See, I told you this kid looks soft but has her own mind.”

Fu Granny glared at her partner, scolding, “Afterthought, when did you ever say that?”

“Hey, you old woman, one does not expose another’s faults.”
