First, Zhou Gou is a soldier, so she doesn't need to accompany him. Since they live apart, she doesn't have to worry about Zhou Gou suddenly returning home and catching her meeting with her son's ex-girlfriend.
Secondly, Zhou Gou held a rank in the army. When she married him, he was already a company commander. He had enlisted early and served for a long time, earning a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan. Zhou Gou usually sent the money home to support Wang Zhaodi and their child.
This money was barely enough for two people to spend. In a place like the countryside, you might not even be able to spend your money. Wang Zhaodi was embezzling from Zhou Huai and giving the money to her son. Zhou Gou had no idea.
This means that the person she marries also has to support her son, creating a rip-off.
Third, Wang Zhaodi has her own place to live. As a military wife, she enjoys good treatment and doesn't have to worry about being bullied while alone.
Upon closer examination, it seems that Wang Zhaodi's marriage to Zhou Gou was entirely beneficial. With her husband away from home, as long as she was careful, she could sleep with whomever she wanted, control Zhou Gou's money to subsidize her son and ex-lover, and she wasn't afraid of being discovered.
If Wang Zhaodi intended to marry Zhou Gou, it shows how cunning she was.
No, perhaps her ex-boyfriend was also involved in the planning.
Jiang Ci kept thinking to herself as she pedaled her bicycle quickly, and soon arrived in town.
Yaozu was quite chubby and healthy; besides Wang Zhaodi's subsidies, his ex-boyfriend's family must have also spoiled him a lot.
These days, not many families can afford to eat and drink well.
She looked around and aimed at a few places.
The residential compounds for employees of government agencies, public security bureaus, textile factories, pickled mustard factories, town hospitals, and train stations.
Most of the well-off families in the town live around these few areas, though they might live in other places as well. Jiang Ci decided to first conduct a wide-ranging search, and if they couldn't find it, they would think of other methods.
If all else fails, we can tell Zhou Gou about it when he gets back.
Jiang Ci didn't believe Zhou Gou knew that Wang Zhaodi had another son, so how could he sit still?
Zhou Huai didn't know if Wang Zhaodi had ever been to her ex's house, so he couldn't be sure what the situation was like there.
Jiang Ci felt that Wang Zhaodi's ex-boyfriend running to Zhou Gou's house late at night confirmed her guess that Wang Zhaodi's ex-boyfriend might not have wanted to let Wang Zhaodi into the house.
They must have met outside.
Jiang Ci first went to the residential compound of her textile factory.
I searched all over, but couldn't find anything.
Jiang Ci was not discouraged and went to the staff quarters of the pickled mustard tuber factory.
They circled around the area again but didn't see Wang Zhaodi.
The more Zhou Huai walked, the more uneasy he felt. Jiang Ci, pushing her bicycle, turned her head unintentionally and saw Zhou Huai looking flustered and helpless.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ci stopped and asked her.
Zhou Huai clenched his fists, his voice filled with helplessness and fear, "Aunt Jiang... or... or..."
Maybe... we shouldn't go looking for it...
Jiang Ci understood her subtext.
She didn't move, just watched her quietly.
Those clear eyes seemed to see into Zhou Huai's heart, leaving her weakness and timidity nowhere to hide.
Zhou Huai clenched his fists, lowered his head, and dared not speak any further.
"Xiao Huai, look up at me." Jiang Ci spoke to Zhou Huai in an almost commanding tone.
It was more serious and cold than ever before.
Zhou Huai subconsciously raised his head.
When she met Jiang Ci's eyes, her own eyes welled up with tears again.
"I'm not going to waste time with all that nonsense. I'm just asking you one question now," Jiang Ci said coldly, her usual patience gone. "To look for them or not to look for them?"
Jiang Ci felt that she had already told her a lot, said a lot, and helped her a lot.
Zhou Huai is indeed a girl with good character, and Jiang Ci is sincere and kind towards her, so Jiang Ci is willing to help her.
But the person she dislikes most is someone who suddenly stops halfway through something and gets distracted by other things.
Such people lack firm principles, and there is a risk of betrayal whether they are friends or business partners.
Jiang Ci is now leaving the decision to Zhou Huai, giving her one last chance.
If she backs down, Jiang Ci will never care about her again and will leave her to fend for herself.
Zhou Huai was pushed onto the narrow bridge, with only two paths: back or forward.
Looking into Jiang Ci's calm, even indifferent, eyes, she felt a surge of panic that was stronger than her fear of Wang Zhaodi.
Zhou Huai's mind kept telling her that if she didn't look for Aunt Jiang, she would never be able to look for her again.
Zhou Huai quickly walked to Jiang Ci's side, tears streaming down his face. "Aunt Jiang, don't be angry. I'll look for her, I'll look for her."
Her voice was pleading.
Hearing her words, Jiang Ci felt somewhat disappointed.
Zhou Huai was fully aware that his interests had been greatly damaged, yet he was still relying on other people's emotions to help him make a decision.
Zhou Gou's suggestion was indeed correct.
Zhou Huai really should be thrown into the army to toughen him up.
Jiang Ci didn't say anything more and continued pushing her bicycle forward.
Jiang Ci then asked, "When your father comes back, will you tell him about Wang Zhaodi?"
This time, Zhou Huai did not hesitate. He wiped away his tears again and immediately nodded in reply, "Yes, I will tell my dad everything about her."
Not completely stupid.
Jiang Ci sighed and pushed her bicycle toward the government compound.
Before she even reached the main road of Zhongmo Town, she suddenly stopped and ran off to a corner, pushing her bicycle.
