Chapter 154 Received a Letter

After staying at Zeng Yike's house for a few days, Zeng Wenjuan and her family of three finally decided to go home. The family of three walked hand in hand on the road, waiting to pass the sentry post of the family building.

"Captain Zhao, here is a package from your family and a letter. You see, we are delivering it for you." The sentry said after saluting Zhao Jianguo.

"Then please help us take it home. It's not convenient for us now. Give me the letter!" Zhao Jianguo's leg injury had not healed completely, and he couldn't lift heavy objects. He had to ask Shao Bing for help. He stretched out his hand to the other party and took the letter.

After reading the content, Zhao Jianguo realized that this was a letter sent by Zhao Zhaocai. It told everything about the family and asked Zeng Wenjuan to go home to take care of Ms. Deng.

Zhao Jianguo sneered disdainfully: "This family is really greedy. We gave them so much money when we divided the family property. Now they have the nerve to ask us to give it back. Not to mention the money I have sent back over the years."

Zeng Wenjuan looked at Zhao Jianguo with an angry look, and then she took the letter from him and read it. When Zeng Wenjuan finished reading the envelope number, there were only four words in her mind: He deserved it.

"Then what should we do now? No matter what, filial piety is overwhelming. We were raised by them. We can't just stand by and watch them have no way out of their lives." Zeng Wenjuan asked, feeling a little undecided.

"Let's go home and talk. This is not a good place to talk." Zhao Jianguo looked at the sentry who was walking not far away from him and said softly.

"Captain Zhao, sister-in-law, I'll leave this thing here for you. The guard has something to do, so I'll leave first." The sentry put down the things, said this and ran away quickly.

That was the captain's family affair. If he, who could do everything, was worried about it, he would be in a state of panic every day. If the news leaked out one day, he would be the first person to be suspected.

After watching the sentry leave, Zeng Wenjuan closed the door and said to Goudan, "Goudan, go to the study and practice calligraphy. Mommy has something to talk to Daddy about."

Although Goudan had no idea what the adults were talking about, he nodded obediently and ran to the study. He stood on a chair that was half a person's height, holding a brush, and wrote something on the paper stroke by stroke.

Zeng Wenjuan returned to the room and took out 3,000 yuan from a small box. She walked to the living room and gave the money to Zhao Jianguo, saying, "They really don't have that much money anymore. I have 3,000 yuan. It was stolen by Haozi before. Then Haozi gave me all the money to repay me by giving me food."

Zhao Jianguo was a little surprised to see Zeng Wenjuan take out 3,000 yuan at once, and even more surprised after hearing what Zeng Wenjuan said. He said in shock: "This mouse has such a great ability. No wonder I haven't exterminated it for so long. It is quite useful."

"Hey, I'm telling you something serious, don't be so frivolous. Although we have fulfilled our obligations, what should we do if they come here to look for us and use filial piety to pressure us?" Zeng Wenjuan was mainly afraid that they would cause trouble for Zhao Jianguo.

Zhao Jianguo patted Zeng Wenjuan's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I have a way. This money is useless to us. There is a donation activity during the Chinese New Year, let's donate all the money!"

"Donate it?" Zeng Wenjuan said uncertainly and surprised, then regained her composure. She leaned close to Zhao Jianguo's ear and said, "If I donate this money, it won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

"Of course not. This is our family's money, not stolen or robbed. If they want to cause trouble, they have to produce evidence, right? Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'm here for you!" Zhao Jianguo said as he started to move his hands. He put his hands on Zeng Wenjuan's head and rubbed her hair.

Zeng Wenjuan slapped Zhao Jianguo's hand away and gave him a reproachful look, but she couldn't help but smile. She knew Zhao Jianguo must have thought of a solution, and if there was no solution, he wouldn't tease her like this.

Just like when they were little, the two of them secretly ran away to the mountains to eat. He was afraid that he would be punished if his father and mother found out, so Zhao Jianguo teased her in the same way, making her burst into laughter.

"Well, since you said so, I will believe you. Donating this money can be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds." Zeng Wenjuan said, and he put the money away again. As he walked forward, he said: "Just consider it as accumulating virtue for our Goudan, and blessing him with a safe life."

Zeng Wenjuan put the money away but still felt a little worried. She said to Zhao Jianguo, "Why don't we write a letter to the village chief and ask for his opinion?"

"Okay, you can write if you want. And your good friend has sent you something, why don't you go and take a look." Zhao Jianguo pointed at the sack on the ground and said to Zeng Wenjuan.

Zeng Wenjuan immediately walked towards the sack after hearing this. After opening the sack, she saw many things inside. She took them out one by one. She said happily: "This sweet potato really understands me. It knows what I like to eat during the Chinese New Year and sends it to me. Oh, and this big pumpkin is pretty good. I will cook pumpkin porridge for you tomorrow morning." Zeng Wenjuan happily picked up a big pumpkin and showed it to Zhao Jianguo.

After seeing this, Zhao Jianguo smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat pumpkin directly tomorrow. Save the pumpkin seeds and dry them in the sun. We can also fry them and eat them. It can also be regarded as a snack during the New Year."

"I'll listen to you. If you want to eat pumpkin, then let's eat pumpkin. This kind of pumpkin is delicious. I'll make some pumpkin pie after breakfast. Goudan will definitely like it." Zeng Wenjuan looked at the pumpkin, as if she could already see it being made into delicious dishes.

Goudan heard his parents' noise outside the study, so he put down his brush and ran out. Seeing so many food on the ground, he ran over happily: "Wow! Mom, there are so many delicious food. Are they all sent to us by Aunt Hongtiao? She is so kind."

"Yes, they were all sent to us by your Aunt Hongtiao. When we see him someday, we must be nice to him and thank him, okay?" Zeng Wenjuan said while pinching Goudan's face.

Goudan was pinched on the face by Zeng Wenjuan, and pouted his lips in displeasure, but he did not wave away Zeng Wenjuan's hand. He just puffed his lips and said, "Then when Aunt Hongtiao and the others come to our house, I will give them my toys to play with, and I will ride my toy car to take them around the military area."
