When Lan Yao, the true daughter who grew up in the countryside, was humiliated by the younger generation of the Lan and Xu families, she suddenly awakened the memories of her past life and realized...
A few hours ago, the Lan family lost some items, but their kind neighbors informed them of the loss.
After the police arrived and conducted a thorough search, they found no clues.
Lan Baogui still held a sliver of hope: "Officer Lin, about this matter..."
Lan Baogui, who was called Officer Lin, patted him on the shoulder: "No traces were found. This is not a good case."
Liu Lanxiang, who was next to Lan Baogui, swayed and was caught by Lan Baogui.
Liu Lanxiang gripped her husband's arm tightly, crying as she asked, "Honey, what are we going to do? Everything in our house has been stolen. How are we going to survive this winter?"
In the north, there is no central heating at this time of year, and people can only survive by burning firewood and coal.
If a house has nothing, most people can hardly survive the long winter months.
After all, in the north, besides the frequent snowfall, the temperature can drop to as low as 40 degrees Celsius in winter.
That can really kill people.
Lan Baogui patted his wife's hand and whispered to comfort her, "Let's talk about it after the officers leave."
Liu Lanxiang finally nodded helplessly.
Officer Lin and his team didn't find any clues, so they left quickly.
Before leaving, all he could do was helplessly tell the Lan family that they would do their best to investigate.
So, after they left, Liu Lanxiang couldn't wait to ask her husband.
"Honey, what are we going to do now?"
Lan Baogui thought for a moment and said, "Let's split up. You go to Baozhu's place, and I'll go to Zhenzhu's place."
Pearl's husband works for the Red Cross; maybe he can help her out.
Liu Lanxiang thought for a moment, then hesitated: "Won't this cause trouble for Baozhu? Her husband is different from Zhenzhu's husband. He seems to be fair and impartial."
Although this is not a good idea.
But she's absolutely wonderful when it comes to her daughter.
She really loves her daughter.
Her daughter was already spoiled by them, and after marrying Wang Lei, she became even more spoiled and picky.
Especially since she became pregnant, she has been vomiting frequently and can't eat. She will make a fuss about wanting to eat what she likes, and if she can't get it, she will throw a tantrum.
Wang Lei also indulged her, and within his power, he would do his best to find things for her.
Even if he couldn't find it, Wang Lei would still coax her, and her daughter was very susceptible to Wang Lei's coaxing tactics.
So even if she throws a tantrum, she will eventually be coaxed into smiling again by Wang Lei.
Sometimes, Liu Lanxiang also envies her daughter's life.
Although Lan Baogui treated her well, she was still far inferior to his own daughter, Lan Yuzhu.
People! They're most afraid of comparisons!
Once you compare yourself to others, even if you're living a good life, you'll feel like you're not living well.
Lan Baogui had also thought of this, and he hesitated for a moment: "Have Yuzhu ask her first. If it works, we'll have her help. If not, then forget it."
Liu Lanxiang nodded and went out.
After his wife left, Lan Baogui followed her out, and they went in different directions.
His second daughter lived closer to their house. As soon as he got near her house, he saw her carrying her youngest son, her hair disheveled, heading towards him.
Upon seeing this, Lan Baogui quickly stepped forward, took the little grandson from his second daughter's arms, and asked, "What do you look like with your hair all disheveled?"
When Lan Zhenzhu saw that it was her father, she burst into tears. Lan Baogui quickly comforted her, saying, "You're such a grown-up, why are you crying? Tell your father what's wrong first, and maybe I can help you think of a solution."
Lan Zhenzhu cried and said to her father, "Father, our house has been robbed, and everything is gone."
After she finished speaking, she looked around again and, finding that no one was paying attention to her, whispered in her father's ear, "I heard that many of the things that Father-in-law hid outside are gone too."
Lan Baogui: ...
Lan Baogui: !!!
Lan Baogui's eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked around before grabbing her second daughter's arm and asking, "Are you telling the truth?"
His voice trembled.
Lan Zhenzhu nodded: "That's why I brought the child here, Father, hoping you could think of a solution. But Father, why are you here? Has something happened at home too?"
Lan Baogui sighed: "Our house was robbed too, just like your in-laws' house."
"What?" Lan Zhenzhu couldn't help but scream.
Lan Baogui was startled and quickly looked around. Finding that no one was paying attention to them, he angrily shouted, "Why are you shouting so loudly? As if you're afraid others won't know our house has been robbed?"
Lan Zhenzhu asked, distraught, "Father, what should we do now?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Lan Baogui tucked her grandson back into her second daughter's arms. "I'm leaving."
"Father, you're leaving already? Then, what am I going to do?" Lan Zhenzhu looked at Lan Baogui, hesitant and stammering.
In her eyes, her father was a very capable and powerful person.
Lan Baogui chuckled and said irritably, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Besides, compared to your father-in-law, your father is nothing special. Go back and cry to your man."
He turned and left after saying that, leaving Lan Zhenzhu somewhat at a loss.
Meanwhile, Liu Lanxiang took a bus, which swayed and bumped along the way, to the military compound in the suburbs.
Even though she came here often, Liu Lanxiang still felt a longing every time she came.
After registering outside the door, she went to her youngest daughter's place.
At this time, Lan Yuzhu had not yet gotten up. The baby in her belly had been making a lot of noise last night, and even after drinking the spiritual spring water, she could not suppress it.
She's been so annoyed lately. If she had known the baby in her belly would cause so much trouble, she would have definitely tried to get rid of it.
But now it's too late even if she wanted to get rid of it. That idiot Wang Lei really loves children, and he treats her exceptionally well because of them.
For the sake of her current life, Lan Yuzhu had no choice but to swallow her anger.
However, once this bastard child is born, she must get rid of it; she can't let it get in her way.
So when Liu Lanxiang walked in with the key, Lan Yuzhu was still asleep.
Hearing a noise out of the blue, she opened her eyes and saw her own mother. Her morning grumpiness flared up, and she said unhappily, "Mom, why are you here again? And you're disturbing my sleep."
Hearing her daughter's words, Liu Lanxiang became furious: "You're getting angry with me now? Who was it that insisted I come and take care of you yesterday?"
Lan Yuzhu yawned, closed her eyes again, and said impatiently, "If you don't want to come, you don't have to. I didn't ask you to."
Liu Lanxiang, remembering that she still had something to ask her youngest daughter, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I came here of my own accord. Get up quickly, something has happened at home."
Lan Yuzhu said indifferently, "What could possibly happen at home? Even if something did happen, what's the use of telling me? I don't care."
