In fact, Juye knew a lot more about Lao Zhuo, but she was smart and wouldn't reveal everything at once. That was why Yihe was interrogating her today, just like a friend, chatting with her. Both sides knew that Juye was relying on these things to save her life.
His men had Lao Zhuo under close scrutiny. Even with his slow reaction, he knew he was being watched. He pretended nothing had happened and returned to his real home. Lao Zhuo had married his original wife when he was in the countryside. She was three years older than him and was now 62 years old.
There was a saying in that era: A woman who is three years older than a man will bring him wealth.
Lao Zhuo's wife is just an ordinary rural girl with no education. When he was young, Lao Zhuo was handsome and a very idealistic and motivated young man. When they were dating, standing together, people felt that they were not very compatible. However, Lao Zhuo's family was poor, and he had many brothers. His parents raised them and could not afford to marry them off after they grew up, so Lao Zhuo could only marry into the family.
My wife's family had relatives working in the commune, and my father-in-law had promised before the marriage that if Lao Zhuo could marry into the family, he would get him a job in the commune. Later, Lao Zhuo really did marry into the family, and for Lao Zhuo's parents, it didn't matter that they still had 6 sons without him.
A little over six months after their marriage, Lao Zhuo Zhen went to work in the commune. Because of his quick mind and good looks, he gradually climbed the career ladder. He once considered abandoning his wife, but it was just a thought. In his hometown, the values of clan and the original wife were strong, and since he was a son-in-law, if Lao Zhuo dared to abandon his wife, the clan would not forgive him.
Lao Zhuo's wife knew she couldn't control him since they got married, so she just stayed at home and raised the children all these years. She didn't care how many mistresses he had outside, as long as Lao Zhuo could get the money back.
Now the eldest of the four children she and Lao Zhuo had is in his thirties, and the younger ones have started their own families and careers, so she is not afraid even if Lao Zhuo doesn't want her now.
When this real couple met at home, they were like wearing two hypocritical masks, pretending to be nice. The woman from the countryside was better, not like Lao Zhuo, who was a master of acting in front of the children.
He's been feeling restless lately, unable to stay home at night. He'd be gone after dinner, barely sitting for a moment. Dong Guanliang's team is moving in a week, and I don't know how things are going back home in Juye. Because there's no cell phone signal in the mountains, it's not like in the city where you can get in touch anytime.
After dinner, Lao Zhuo asked the driver to take him directly to the Siheyuan. The people who were following him breathed a sigh of relief. If it were an unfamiliar place, they would have to go through a lot of trouble to sneak in and install cameras, but in the Siheyuan, it was easy, as they had already installed invisible cameras in many places.
Just as Lao Zhuo was lying down with his eyes closed, the phone rang. No one knew that Lao Zhuo's courtyard house belonged to him, and the house was not in his name. Therefore, only a few people knew the house's phone number.
The housekeeper picked up the phone and asked halfheartedly. When he heard it was Liu Jiajia, he looked at Lao Zhuo while answering. Lao Zhuo frowned and didn't want to answer the phone, but then he thought of something and stood up to answer the phone.
Liu Jiajia is quite smart, but she's too greedy. She only wants to be his real wife. Isn't this a joke? Can someone in her position just change wives? It's simply a pipe dream.
Everyone knows that going out is just for fun and not for real, but this silly girl thought that he really liked her and wanted to marry her. It's no wonder that Lao Zhuo hated virgins the most. Innocent girls are troublesome.
After waiting for a while, Liu Jiajia came. She ran into the house and threw herself into Lao Zhuo's arms as soon as she saw him. She didn't notice that Lao Zhuo was frowning as he took several steps back due to the impact of her running.
