These two came to express their condolences, and they brought a lot of gossip with them.
Mrs. Hua, the political commissar's family member, asked, "What exactly does your guy do? I heard he hasn't been to the office once since he arrived. The office space reserved for him in the camp is now covered in dust."
This question stumped Lin Zhengran, as she had just arrived.
On the other side, Mrs. Gao, a family member of Director Yang of Logistics, approached. "Sister-in-law, is it true that your guy who left the island for six months just went home to get married? People outside were saying he was transferred, but I went back and asked him, and he said he didn't leave. Old Yang won't let me ask any more."

Lin Zhengran was used to being cautious, but since these two seemed difficult to deal with without saying something, she said:

Lin Zhengran asked, "Did you guys know that he's back in the dormitory?"

"Everyone outside has been talking about your family's affairs these days!"
In the past two days, Lin Zhengran has not had any contact with anyone on the island except Aunt Su next door, so he really doesn't know about these things.
"What's there to tell about my family?" Lin Zhengran didn't understand. "We've only been on the island for a few days."
