Su He frowned upon hearing this, realizing that the matter was going to be difficult. After all, speculation and profiteering were major taboos in this era, and he was still using a government vehicle.

If it's not discovered, it's fine, but once it is discovered, it's all over!

But seeing how upset Second Sister-in-law was, Su He didn't say anything directly. Instead, she comforted her, "Second Sister-in-law, don't worry. What's done is done. Let's figure out a solution. Don't panic. By the way, where's Huo Huo? Didn't you bring him?"

My second sister-in-law shook her head. Seeing how calm she was, I calmed down a bit and explained, "I didn't bring him with me. I was in a hurry to leave and was afraid he would get cold, so I gave him to the neighbors and asked them to look after him for a while."

Su He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, exchanged a glance with Lin Jingyan, and Lin Jingyan nodded, "I'll go out and ask around to see what's going on."

Su He didn't refuse. "Okay, then be careful. It's best to find out how serious the situation is. If you don't know where to go, you can go to Aunt Xu's house. Brother Xu should know something."

"Okay, I understand."

After Lin Jingyan left, the family members lost their appetite and became anxious.

Grandma Su was even more restless. "How could they have been arrested? Didn't everyone say they did it this way and nothing ever happened? How come Lanzi suddenly got into trouble?"

Su He couldn't understand it either. Logically speaking, the reason why the transportation station job was so popular was because it had hidden benefits. The drivers could resell some things and earn more than others.

My second cousin has indeed earned quite a bit in the past year or two since he started driving after completing his apprenticeship. He has paid off almost all the money his family owed for buying him a job.

Even so, Su He had told him not to go too far.

My second cousin agreed. As a newcomer, he didn't dare to earn too much each time, only doing small-scale business. He didn't sell the items on the black market; he just helped out by bringing back whatever his neighbors and friends needed.

Compared to others, what he did was nothing; even if someone outside disapproved and wanted to report him, they wouldn't dare report a nobody like him.

So after thinking it through, Su He asked her second cousin's wife, "Did Second Brother offend someone? Otherwise, why is it that everyone else is fine, but only he was reported?"

Second Sister-in-law nodded, "That should be it. That's what the colleague who came to inform him said too, but we don't know who he offended."

Su He comforted him, "Don't worry, let's wait for Yuan Yuan's dad to come back before we talk about it."

They waited until after nine o'clock before Lin Jingyan finally returned, bringing with him the cold wind.

It was late at night, and Su He felt sorry for him when she saw his face was pale from the cold, so she quickly told him to lean against the stove to warm himself up.

Lin Jingyan didn't waste any time. After warming up a bit and his mouth stopped trembling, he said, "I found out that the Revolutionary Committee received the report and took people to arrest my second brother as soon as he returned to his unit."

The good news is that my second brother didn't bring much this time, only ten pounds of milk sticks and three wool blankets. As long as he admits they were for his own use, there won't be any problems.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, including Su He, who hadn't expected her second brother to bring so little this time.

"Have you heard who reported it?"

Lin Jingyan nodded. "I went to Aunt Xu's house to ask. Brother Xu guessed it was a colleague of his from his workplace surnamed Jin. Apparently, this person and Second Brother didn't get along well before, and today after Second Brother was arrested, he seemed to be gloating."

"It was him?" The second sister-in-law gritted her teeth upon hearing this.
