Zhou Gou looked at Zhou Mingli with a complicated expression, "Second brother, you've really changed a lot."
“You used to just follow your older brother around aimlessly, but now that you’ve gotten married, you’ve finally learned to use your brain.”
Jiang Ci: "..."
Jiang Ci: Pfft.
Unable to hold back, she turned her head and laughed.
Zhou Mingli: “…”
He glanced at Jiang Ci, forcing himself to remain expressionless, "I have to take care of my wife, no matter what."
Hearing this, Zhou Mingli's gaze softened considerably as he looked at Jiang Ci. He no longer blamed her for laughing at him. "I'm her only family here."
If he doesn't treat her well, who will?
Jiang Ci's smile faltered slightly, and she sat up straight as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Gou looked on with a look of satisfaction, as if to say, "You've grown up!"
He quickly got down to business, "Since you've asked, and your wife has had contact with that old man in the cowshed, let me ask you this: is the old man in the cowshed named Cheng Yehan?"
Zhou Gou stared at Jiang Ci, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Ci nodded slightly.
"He introduced himself to me."
A surge of joy welled up in Zhou Gou's heart. He stood up and paced back and forth in her yard.
"That's right! Then it's absolutely right!"
Zhou Gou quickly walked towards Jiang Ci and reached out to grab her hand.
Zhou Mingli promptly extended his hand.
Zhou Gou glanced at Zhou Mingli with disdain, released him, but didn't grab Jiang Ci again. He only asked urgently, "Sister-in-law! How is he now? How is he doing?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "He is doing very well and is in good spirits. I deliver his three meals a day to him. He has paper and pen and writes something every day. It looks like physics formulas. I only went to high school, so I don't understand it very well."
Hearing Jiang Ci's words, Zhou Gou breathed a long sigh of relief!
"Sister-in-law, thank you for telling me all this!" Zhou Gou said to her very seriously.
Once he knows that the person living in the cowshed here is Cheng Yehan, he can find out the rest himself.
Hearing Jiang Ci say that the old gentleman was in good spirits not only put Zhou Gou's mind at ease, but also Cheng Huasheng's.
"I've remembered everything that happened today about my daughter and Mr. Cheng Yehan. Thank you so much!"
Zhou Gou gave Jiang Ci a deep look; his words of gratitude were definitely not just empty words.
Jiang Ci smiled and waved her hand, "I just told you what I knew, it's nothing."
"I will definitely find out exactly how Wang Zhaodi got along with my daughter. Sister-in-law, second brother, we probably won't stay in Shanding Brigade for long. After I finish my leave, I will take Xiaohuai with me to join the army."
As for Wang Zhaodi, whether he will take her or not depends on finding out exactly who Wang Zhaodi is.
Zhou Gou thanked them repeatedly before leaving their home.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli saw the people off and were finally able to lie in bed.
"It would be good if Xiao Huai, this girl who has been manipulated by Wang Zhaodi for so many years, could be sent to the army by her father to train for a few years." Jiang Ci lay wearily on the bed and muttered to herself, "Putting everything else aside, the army can indeed temper a person's willpower."
"It's also thanks to Zhou Gou's meticulous observation that he was able to spot something amiss." Zhou Mingli was also sleepy and lay down next to Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci glanced at Zhou Mingli, seemingly lost in thought, and said calmly, "Are you implying that I wasn't observant enough, which is why I was deceived for so long?"
"What?" Zhou Mingli didn't hear clearly and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ci turned over, her back to Zhou Mingli, and said in an even more indifferent voice, "It's nothing."
Zhou Mingli didn't notice anything amiss in Jiang Ci's words. He was too tired, so he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Jiang Ci opened her eyes and looked at the two children sitting at the table, still playing with sheep's knuckles.
When she went to see Zhou Mingli that day, she heard the woman say, "Mingli... you've been in a marriage of convenience with her for six or seven years, when are you planning to divorce Jiang Ci?" Jiang Ci was just very unhappy, but it hadn't gotten to the point where she had to get a divorce.
She and Zhou Mingli have been married for six years, and she has watched him go from having nothing to becoming a sought-after young talent. If Zhou Mingli hadn't had the willpower to resist temptation, he wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli still had a basic level of trust.
Jiang Ci only told Zhou Mingli to quickly clear up those rumors and gossip, and not to let them reach his parents' ears and cause them more worry.
But Zhou Mingli made a terrible mistake by bringing a woman home.
In the villa where she and Zhou Mingli often stayed, Jiang Ci found a necklace that didn't belong to her in a box that she rarely opened next to the bathtub in her room.
