Chapter 26: He becomes so venomous that he doesn't even spare himself

A sharp whistle was heard not far away. It was Comrade Yang calling them to gather over.

Yuan Xiaojie took the opportunity to say goodbye and hurried away with her luggage.

After sitting on the train for six days and five nights, everyone became dusty and had lost the glory they had when they first got on the train. For Shanghai people who attach the most importance to their attire when going out, this is worse than being beheaded.

"Boss, can we go to the guesthouse to take a shower? I'm almost covered in maggots!"

Huang Jinxiang pleaded loudly, he was almost suffocated by the stench on his body.

"Shall we also open champagne and grill steaks for you?"

Comrade Yang asked sarcastically.

"That's not necessary. Just have a bowl of noodles." Huang Jinxiang said embarrassedly.

Comrade Yang's face darkened as he sternly reprimanded them, "Don't forget you're here for labor reform, not to enjoy yourself. Line up!"

No one dared to complain anymore and lined up obediently.

Luo Xinxin planned to have a good chat with Comrade Yang later and try to go to the guesthouse to take a shower as her body was smelly.

Li Rong walked over. The morning sun shone on him, and his whole body glowed. He was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

"Comrade, what's the matter?"

Comrade Yang asked with a smile, his waist unconsciously bent down.

"Luo Xinxin's family has made great contributions. Deputy Commander Cui wants to meet them."

Li Rong's voice was not loud and his tone was calm, but it carried an aura that could not be refused.

Comrade Yang and Comrade Guo were both dumbfounded. How come they didn't know when the Luo family had accomplished such a merit?

Huang Jinxiang became excited. He knew very well that he almost died that night.

So, he has made some contributions, right?

If he hadn't held off the enemy for a few minutes, they would have surely escaped.

Huang Jinxiang opened his mouth wide, wanting to tell about his contribution, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back and slapped himself hard in the face.

He was regretting it so much. If he had just gone to the toilet that night, why didn't he take care of his lower body?

Now, the credit has gone, and the ugly guy has extorted a hundred dollars from him. Oh... I feel so sorry for him!

Luo Weian and his wife were so excited that they felt as if they had flown back to the clouds from the mud. An officer as high as the deputy commander was meeting them. Was he going to take off their hats?

If I take off my hat, can I go back to Shanghai and no longer have to go to the farm to pick up manure?

The old couple had never been so in sync with each other before. They looked at Li Rong eagerly, hoping that he could give them some hints.

Li Rong didn't look at them and told Yang and Guo that he wanted to take the Luo family away.

"Comrade, they are going to the farm for reformation. The list is registered. If they don't show up, we will be criticized."

Comrade Yang was so jealous that he almost died. He didn't want Luo Xinxin to be able to make a comeback at all. This ugly freak had the upper hand over him. The more successful Luo Xinxin became, the more dangerous he would be.

He said this to remind Li Rong that Luo Xinxin's family was a bunch of show-offs and not worthy of being received by Deputy Commander Cui.

"I will personally send them to the farm when the time comes." Li Rong said coldly.

"But……"

Before Comrade Yang could finish, Li Rong's face darkened and he asked sternly, "Do you want Deputy Commander Cui to come and talk to you in person?"

"No, no, I'm just worried something might happen."

Comrade Yang was so frightened that he kept smiling apologetically.

"What could possibly happen if I met our Deputy Commander Cui? Do you suspect that Deputy Commander Cui is a cannibal?"

After Li Rong finished his taunting, he didn't even glance at Comrade Yang, whose face was pale, and said to Luo Xinxin's family, "Follow me!"

“Here I come!”

Luo Xinxin responded cheerfully and trotted after him. When she passed Comrade Yang, she paused and silently said to him, "Zhang Lihong!"

Comrade Yang's face turned even paler and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Huang Jinxiang watched the three members of the Luo family leave with jealousy, feeling torn with regret.

Everyone else also had mixed feelings, except for Jiang Yan and the upright Tu Zhigang. Although they were envious, they didn't have any other thoughts.

Li Rong took them to the base guesthouse and said that Deputy Commander Cui would meet them after lunch.

After he left, Mrs. Luo could no longer control her excitement and asked excitedly, "Xinxin, are you going to take off our hats?"

Luo Weian frowned slightly and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, no matter what happened, his wife would ask him for his opinion first, and said that he was the pillar of the family and her sky.

Although he also wanted to ask his granddaughter, Old Mrs. Luo's behavior still made Luo Weian feel lost. He seemed to feel that he was no longer his wife's sky, nor the pillar of the family.

"Don't get carried away. You still have to pick up manure."

Luo Xinxin felt that Deputy Commander Cui’s meeting with them might not be that simple.

Maybe he suspected that she had a relationship with the enemy spies and wanted to test their family.

Old Mrs. Luo's face fell and she said unhappily, "Then you still want us to die? You are too cruel!"

"Yin Zhang, as long as we can protect scientists, it doesn't matter if we can't take off our hats!"

Luo Weian was speaking the truth. Although he felt disappointed that he couldn't take off the hat, if he had the chance to do it all over again, he would still choose to be a scapegoat.

During the war, both the rich and the common people had a hard time. It was because China was too poor that it was bullied. Scientists can make the country prosperous, so nothing must happen to them.

Old Mrs. Luo was still unhappy. She felt that her life was very important. The most important thing was that she had been made a scapegoat and had not gained any benefit at all. It was a huge loss.

The system has released another task.

"Why are you unhappy? You're living well now. I even let you sleep in a soft sleeper for two nights, but I didn't even sleep!"

Luo Xinxin retorted.

"I was almost scared to death. That dead man was face to face with me, covered in blood. How scary!"

Old Mrs. Luo yelled unconvincedly, saying that she was the most frightened, and that the silly girl and the old man were both talking without any concern.

"Is it your soul that's jumping around now?"

Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes, full of energy and more energetic than any young person.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Do you still have any respect for your elders? If you're like this, which man would dare to marry you in the future?"

"Even an eighty-year-old, almost dead old man wouldn't dare marry me, even with my walking hat and this ugly face. Don't worry about me, and don't argue with me. Save some energy for carrying manure on the farm!"

Luo Xinxin sneered, took out some clothes from her luggage bag, and prepared to take a shower.

"Xinxin, your face will be better in half a year." Luo Weian reminded.

"In just one month, not half a year, all the males around me will be scared away. I won't even be able to keep a male dog. Alright, stop rambling. When you see Deputy Commander Cui later, tell him what I tell you. If you fail me, you'll be picking up manure here for the rest of your lives!"

Luo Xinxin became so sharp-tongued that she didn't even spare herself.

"Don't worry, we all remember it and will definitely not let you down!" Luo Weian nodded vigorously.

He knew what to say without his granddaughter's instructions.

They didn't know that there were several people in military uniforms sitting in the next room. One of them was a tall man in his fifties with a dignified face and a strong aura. He was Deputy Commander Cui Zhiguo.

The Luo family's conversations were all transmitted to them through the eavesdropping device, without a single word being missed.

"This Luo Xinxin is quite interesting. Why does she always speak so harshly?"

Cui Zhiguo looked at Li Rong and asked with a smile.

Li Rong reported all the actions to capture enemy spies to his superiors. Cui Zhiguo also immediately sent people to investigate the situation of the Luo family in Shanghai. In order to be more secure, he asked Li Rong to bring the Luo family to the guesthouse for easy monitoring.

"Yes, not only is she sharp-tongued, she's also very brave and strong. She even captured the female enemy spy with her bare hands."

Li Rong answered truthfully.

Happy New Year to everyone on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Snake.
