Chapter 572 Editor: Yan Shaoyang
It was already afternoon when Gu Yuehuai got off the train.
She bought a copy of the latest newspaper at the train station, and pursed her lips as she read the explosive news published on it.
Jiang Bingrong was involved in multiple crimes including bribery, murder, and frame-up. The investigation has been concluded by the National Supervisory Commission and the military court has reviewed and prosecuted. Recently, Jiang Bingrong and other persons involved in the case have been arrested.
The downfall of the Jiang faction seemed to be a foregone conclusion. To the common people, it was just an untouchable big shot who was brought down for committing a crime and it did not affect their daily lives. But to many parties in the capital, it was a major earthquake.
Compared to the content of the newspaper, she is actually more concerned about the signature at the bottom of the press release.
This newspaper comes from the "Pioneer Daily", a newly emerging newspaper with a young chief editor: Yan Shaoyang.
Gu Yuehuai curled the corners of his lips, silently put away the newspaper, and went home.

When Gu Yuehuai arrived at the Dalaozi Production Brigade, the villagers of the brigade were enthusiastically queuing up at the breeding area to receive grain.
As soon as the villagers saw her, they all greeted her happily: "Xiao Gu?! Xiao Gu is back?"
"Hey, you're back." Gu Yuehuai walked into the breeding area with a smile. Wang Peisheng was calculating the amount of grain with the brigade accountant, while the branch secretary Wang Fu was distributing grain to everyone. When they saw her, they greeted her warmly.
Huang Fengying was originally helping out, and when she looked up, she said happily, "Oh, Xiao Gu is having good news! Did the army give him a leave? Hurry up, you've just got back and you've got good news. Your dad isn't here, so you can just get some food back."
She took a quick glance at the food and knew where it came from.
Huang Fengying smiled and explained, "Song Jinan, Song Zhiqing, remember? You said he left without informing everyone, and suddenly sent someone back to deliver food. The young man is really generous."
Gu Yuehuai didn't respond, but chuckled and said, "I won't take it, I'll give more to everyone."
She turned and left the breeding area, the smile on her face fading.
Song Jinan is indeed a good person. If he could avoid being implicated, he would definitely be a good official serving the people.
When she arrived outside the Gu family's yard, she saw Yan Shaoli feeding the pigs. She was now very skilled at it, and the two pigs in the pen had grown a lot bigger. The sound of "la la" echoed, and Bai Mei's voice of calling for food was heard in the house.
Gu Yuehuai chuckled. He hadn’t seen the hustle and bustle of home for a long time and he missed it very much.
Hearing the noise, Yan Shaoli was stunned for a moment. She scratched her ears and asked, "Did I hear it wrong?"
Gu Yuehuai laughed and knocked on the wooden fence: "Shao Li."
Yan Shaoli turned around suddenly, and when she saw Gu Yuehuai, tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She hurried over to open the door, and when she opened it, she noticed the unusualness of her body, and her eyes widened: "This, sister-in-law, I..."
She stammered and couldn't utter a coherent sentence for a while, and then she burst into tears.
Yan Shaoli had never suffered any hardship since childhood. After she went to the countryside, she was taken care of by her brother and sister-in-law. But suddenly everyone left. She felt uneasy, but she also understood that she needed to be strong and take good care of Yan Shaotang. Although she was nervous during this period, she never told anyone about it. Now Gu Yuehuai suddenly came back and brought back such an exciting surprise, she really couldn't hold it back.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Shaoli?" Hearing Yan Shaoli's crying, everyone in the room ran out.
Gu Yuehuai looked up and saw Gu Zhifeng, Gu Tinghuai, Bai Mei, and Shao Tang were all there. Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I haven't been back for a few months, and you don't even recognize me?"
Gu Zhifeng was excited and said hurriedly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! Come in! Come in!"
Gu Yuehuai returned to the house surrounded by people. The room was filled with the rich aroma of food. When she stood firm, several people could see the bulging belly of Gu Yuehuai, who had been held by Yan Shaoli and treated like a rare animal. For a moment, they were filled with great joy.
"Why don't you come back earlier? The army is full of grown men, who can take good care of you?" Bai Mei said angrily, and hurriedly pulled her to sit on the kang. Gu Tinghuai also poured her a cup of hot water: "Are you feeling well?"
Gu Yuehuai took the water cup with a smile: "No, I'm fine."
Gu Zhifeng rubbed his eyes, looked at her belly in disbelief, and then looked at Bai Mei's belly.
He frowned, as if he was about to say something but stopped himself: "Nannan, you, your stomach is..."
Gu Yuehuai was a little amused and helpless. Indeed, although she was only four months pregnant, her belly was surprisingly big. It was even bigger than Bai Mei's belly who was pregnant earlier. Most people would really question it if they saw it.
She noticed Gu Zhifeng's gnashing of teeth and blinked, "It seems like there's more than one baby in my belly."
Another big news. Yan Shaoli jumped three feet high with joy: "So I will have two little nephews? I will be an aunt! An aunt to two little kids! No, no, I have to learn the craft from Sister Bai Mei and make clothes!"
Gu Zhifeng's eyebrows and eyes also relaxed, and she was overjoyed: "Twins? This is rare! Great!"
However, he thought of Yan Shaoyu and frowned again: "Huaihai City is so far away from our home, and Shaoyu let you come back alone? There are so many people on the way, and the train is not safe, can he let you go without worry?"
At this time, Gu Yuehuai of course had to speak well of her man, and said with a smile: "Dad, Shao Yu is on a mission in the capital. Didn't you read the 'Pioneer Daily' a few days ago?"
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng's expression softened, and thinking of Yan Shaoyu, he nodded: "Shaoyu is capable and works for the welfare of the people. He is a good person. Many people came to our house to ask about it a few days ago."
After that, he coughed twice and muttered in dissatisfaction: "You just don't know how to love your wife."
Gu Yuehuai didn't interrupt him, and said with a smile: "Then wait until he comes back and have a good chat with him."
Gu Tinghuai saw Gu Yuehuai coming back, and added another plate of stir-fried meat. After it was served, he said, "Dad, Nannan, let's talk while we eat, otherwise the food will get cold and Nannan will be hungry."
The family sat around the table eating and telling each other what had happened during this period.
Things in the capital cannot be talked about, and things in the military district go on day after day, so there is nothing to elaborate on. Most of the time, it was Gu Yuehuai who listened while Gu Zhifeng and the others talked. Even though they were just some gossips about family matters, Gu Yuehuai listened with great interest.
However, Yan Shaoli, who was standing aside, became silent after hearing that Yan Shaoyu was going to the capital to carry out a mission.
She was born in the capital, so her political sensitivity is naturally stronger than that of everyone in the Gu family.
Although she couldn't tell the difference between the Jiang and Qin factions, she knew the situation in the capital was serious. Thinking of her second brother, who was the editor-in-chief of the Pioneer Daily, she couldn't help but feel excited, nervous and frustrated. Various emotions intertwined together, forming a complex situation.
Gu Yuehuai saw that Yan Shaoli had a lot of things to ask, so after leaving the table, he took her back to the room.
She did not hide anything and told Yan Shaoli everything about the capital and even the Yan family. After hearing this, the latter lowered his head with red eyes and choked up: "Sister-in-law, can we finally go home?"
Gu Yuehuai's eyes were also a little sour, and she said softly: "Yes, I can go home and see my parents and relatives."
Yan Shaoli couldn't stop shaking all over. The next moment, she hugged Gu Yuehuai, buried her head in her shoulders, and sobbed softly: "I always thought I could never go back. Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you for telling me this."
Gu Yuehuai noticed her wet shoulder and patted her back gently: "What are you thanking me for? We are a family."
Yan Shaoli sobbed and nodded heavily.
