Gu Hanting and his group were also notified at the last minute. It was through the cooperation of Monkey and his team that Big Head held off the others while Monkey ran over to deliver the message.

"Quickly, hide everything you can in the house. These people don't seem friendly; they appear to have a purpose. Don't leave anything conspicuous in plain sight. I'm leaving now, you all hurry—"

Although we don't know what these people are up to, the family has never let up on the necessary preparations.

On the surface, we're not afraid of these people coming to investigate, but we just can't eat anything good anymore.

"Hey, you guys cook here first, I'll go stay over at the cowshed."

Ma Liu sighed, "Why are they investigating every other day? What are they trying to do? They've already killed those who deserved to die, and we haven't even raised any more people in our family."

Jian Ling shrugged. "I'm afraid we'll have to ask them about this. Uncle, don't worry, we're not afraid of being investigated. I'll go cook first, you guys tidy up."

Ma Liu never dreamed that the team that came to investigate would be led by Jiang He.

"Hey, Ma Liu, what are you doing here? No wonder I haven't seen you for so long, you've come here to enjoy yourself."

Look at this big house, it's much more impressive than the landlord's house. Oh my, look at my memory, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the landlord's house, right? Ma Liu, you're quite something, living in the landlord's house. Not bad at all.

"Oh, and you even have servants at home. You're living a life of luxury even more than a landlord. Landlords exploit their people."

Jian Ling retorted, "Bullshit! Who are you calling a servant? Apologize to me! How come I, a respectable person, have become a servant in your mouth? You are the one who belittles the working class and looks down on us poor people."

What, I'm wrong for helping take care of a hero? Is it a problem that someone is lending me their house to stay in?

Jiang He, you have quite a few houses, why don't you lend me one to stay in? Come to think of it, you're not much different from a landlord or capitalist."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He knew he wouldn't get the upper hand in a verbal exchange; this woman was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

"Oh dear, Sister Jian, how can you say that? It's true that my sister and I live in three rooms, but we are of different genders. We can't possibly sleep in the same room at this age, can we?"

Besides, the other room is the kitchen. I can't exactly let you live in our kitchen, can I? Let's not argue about this. Later, when a suitable place comes along, I'll definitely help you find one. Sorry, it's just that I have a sharp tongue. Big sister, please don't take it personally with me."

Given the other party's attitude, Jian Ling couldn't say anything more.

"Fine, I can overlook that, but what are you doing here? Seeing me, you should know who lives here, right?"

"Who is Jiang Qiao? I don't need to tell you, do I? Jiang He, you know her current situation. Do you think this is the right time to bother her?"

Jiang He snorted. "Jiang Qiao is Jiang Qiao. She's just a patient who knows nothing. What's the big deal about disturbing her? We're just following orders. What, you have a problem with the policy from above? Search her—"

Some of the people following Jianghe moved, while others did not. However, Shitou wouldn't let them. The little guy was quite sensible; he picked up a fire poker and stood in front of them.

In a childish voice, she waved the stick in her hand at these people, shouting, "You bad people, you're trying to steal my food! I'll fight you to the death!"

Jiang He didn't take this little kid seriously at all. How much strength could a tiny child have?

So, he reached out his big hand, trying to snatch the stick from Shi Tou's hand.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. Stone had been instructed by the people around him. The little guy dodged Jianghe's big claws, and the fire poker turned and hit Jianghe's leg directly. Although he was a child, Stone was stronger than most children.

Jiang He was so angry from the pain that he snatched the stick and tried to hit the stone, but the little guy started crying before he even got hit.

"You bullied my sister before, and now that she's sick, you still want to bully her? You're a big bad guy, I'll fight you to the death!"

Jiang He raised his hand to strike, but Jian Ling grabbed it from the side.

He angrily shouted at Jiang He, "You want to bully a six-year-old child? Are you even human?"

Jiang He is now somewhat embarrassed and angry. Being hit by a stick by a six-year-old child, regardless of whether it hurts or not, is just too embarrassing.

"Let go! You're interfering with our work. Believe me, I'll sue you for counter-revolutionary crimes! And you, Wen Jingwan, you're a capitalist's daughter, and you can't even manage your child? Are you planning a rebellion?"

As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, a voice came from behind: "You're the one with ulterior motives, Jiang He. Back then, when I was twelve, you and your family forced me to marry you. When I refused, you beat me so badly that I was seriously injured. Now that I'm older and have found my family, what do you think? Do you still think I'm easy to bully? Do you still want to use my family's background as a shield?"

You've really gotten some skills. Look up and see what's hanging above your head.

Do you know what "military dependents" means? If you don't understand, go back and ask someone else.

Also, Gu Hanting is my grandfather and Wen Jingwan is my mother. I'm determined to protect them. You dare to lay a finger on them and see if I can let you get away with it.

Without my grandfather, there would be no outstanding sons, my father and my eldest uncle. One of them persisted in his beliefs for the revolutionary cause for many years, and the other guarded the frontier until now. Without my parents, there would be no hero's daughter like me.

It's true that my grandfather came from a humble background, but he wasn't a particularly wicked person; you and I both know that.

Back then, those who deserved to be struggled against were struggled against, and those who deserved to be punished were punished. He has already paid the price. Now he lives an honest and law-abiding life. Apart from his bad background, he has nothing else that people can criticize.

And then there's my mother. Everyone knows about her background, but she joined the revolution at a young age, gave birth to me amidst the flames of war, and because of the revolutionary cause, she simply didn't have time to take care of me. So much so that she lost me on the way back. What right do you have to criticize a comrade like that?

Jiang Qiao's words shocked the onlookers. Although they didn't say anything, they were genuinely impressed. They wouldn't dare say such things, let alone put them into action.

What's even more ridiculous is that those few people who hadn't moved stared wide-eyed in surprise when they saw Jiang Qiao's real face.

Pointing excitedly at Jiang Qiao, she exclaimed, "You, you're Jiang Qiao, the hero from our school back then? Are you really our senior?"
