On the fifth day after Huo Donglin left, Lao Jiang's family belatedly noticed something unusual.
After lunch, the second aunt asked in confusion: "Ningning, where is Donglin? I haven't seen him for several days."
When asked this question, the others all turned their heads to look at him.
Except for Old Man Jiang and Uncle Jiang Er.
The two honest faces wished they could bury their heads in the big bowl and eat their rice. For fear that his wife/mother might be unhappy, he also gave them some medicine.
Cai Jinhua rolled her eyes, looking down on the cowardly look of the father and son, and scolded her daughter-in-law: "Eating can't stop your chattering. If you want to eat, eat. If not, go back to your room and sleep."
"I'm just concerned about Ningning." Second aunt pouted in grievance.
"After all, Huo Donglin has the blood of that couple in his veins. As the old saying goes, even if the bones of a family are broken, the tendons are still connected."
"My parents were sent to prison the day before, and they disappeared inexplicably the next two days."
"Did he regret it and had a big fight with Ning Ning somewhere we didn't know about? Are they getting a divorce?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, with inquiring, scrutinizing, or sympathetic eyes instantly falling on the mother and her two children.
Jiang Ningning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was about to speak.
Bang!
Cai Jinhua sneered and suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table.
All the people jumped heavily.
The second son's wife is a very straightforward person with a head stuffed with straw, so how could she have thought of these words?
This idiot must have been used as a gun.
Without giving it any thought, Cai Jinhua could guess who the troublemaker was, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.
"Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. You're just worried that Ningning will divorce Donglin one day and lose a relative who is the head of the group."
She scanned the faces of all the people in the room one by one, and finally stopped at the face of her second grandson's wife, and her voice suddenly turned stern -
"I'm going to make this clear today. Huo Donglin is the head of the group and has nothing to do with our family. If anyone dares to use his name to cause trouble in front of me, don't blame me for punishing him according to my family rules."
Bang!
The second grandson's wife was so frightened by Cai Jinhua's sharp eyes that she couldn't hold the bowl anymore, and it fell on the table, spilling the cauliflower soup everywhere.
Cai Jinhua pursed her lips. A prosperous family is sometimes not a good thing. Too much means too much, and you will always be calculating for your own little thoughts.
This patriarch is a terrible person.
But, what’s worse is——
In the silence, only her stupid wife's voice sounded faintly: "So, mother, did Donglin divorce Ningning?"
“…”
"Ha!" Cai Jinhua was so angry that she laughed, "Since your tongue is no good, why not keep it?"
The whole family felt that Cai Jinhua was speaking in anger, except for Old Man Jiang and his son, who looked expressionless and had silent roars erupting from their hearts.
——Others would cut the chicken twice to kill it, but she would just chop off the chicken's neck!
Under the table, two pairs of muddy calves were trembling, and they felt that their tongues were about to be lost.
"My father went to visit his old comrades." Manman said suddenly.
This is what their mother told them, but Manman didn't believe it. He thought his father must be on a secret mission.
Since it is a secret mission, it must not be known by others, otherwise it will definitely bring danger to Heidan's father.
Thinking of this, the little dumpling suddenly sighed heavily, and his eyebrows drooped.
His extremely sad and worried look made the simple-minded Jiang family members feel anxious.
Manman was born adorable and sweet-mouthed. No one in the family could escape the flattery from little Tuanzi, including the second aunt.
She immediately asked nervously: "Manman, why are you sighing?"
Manman cried out loudly, tears streaming down her face in an instant: "Too pitiful..."
The second aunt was a little confused: "Who pity me?"
"I heard from my father that the comrade-in-arms died a lot. His hometown is in the deep mountains far away. It takes several days to walk to get there."
"All three of my brothers died for the country, leaving only an old mother who cried herself blind."
"The old mother is in her seventies or eighties, her legs and feet are not good, she walks with a limp, and she only eats some wild vegetables and grass roots every day to fill her stomach..."
The children of Old Jiang's family were stunned when they heard this.
I don't think a four-year-old child would lie, especially when Manman was crying and the picture was so vivid.
There is no alarm clock at home, not even a rooster, but the old mother still gets up at 5:30 every day? Oh, it turns out he was woken up by the cold.
You can't even get a handful of brown rice to eat in a day, and you ask about the pension at home? All of them were cheated away by the wicked relatives, not even the broken bench with a broken leg was left.
Originally, the old mother had a daughter. In order to pay for her mother's medical treatment, the daughter voluntarily married a domestic violence widower and was nearly beaten to death several times.
What is Huo Donglin going to do?
Naturally, it was to drive away the evil relatives for the poor old mother, to take back the property, and not let the martyr's mother suffer.
"Hmm..." The sentimental second aunt immediately grabbed little Jijuan and blew her nose, "That family is so ruthless, it's simply not a good thing."
"Yes, that mother and daughter are so pitiful. Would you like to bring them to live with the Sixth Brigade? The people in our brigade are simple and honest, and they will definitely take good care of them."
"Captain Huo must arrest the bad guys and send them to the farm. They must be reformed."
Just as the Jiang family was sympathizing with the poor mother and daughter, two or three indignant voices suddenly came from the yard.
Jiang Ningning pursed her lips and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Captain Luo, Bai Man and others coming in at some point, all of them filled with indignation.
She lowered her head speechlessly, then...
Who told her?
Why even the cuddly little daughter beside her had red eyes from crying?
“…”
Xia Xia threw herself into her mother's arms, her little baby voice was so angry: "Brother is bad!"
I knew my brother was talking nonsense, but the story was so touching that I couldn't help crying for the piece of paper.
Jiang Ningning didn't say anything. Didn't Mr. Meng give Manman a negotiation lesson before he left? Why is my son going further and further on the road to winning the Oscar for Best Actor?
She turned her head to look at her son again. She thought he would wink at her proudly and say silently: Haha, mom, I’m so awesome. Everyone has been fooled.
The reality is——
Little Dumpling was so moved by the story he made up that he was crying with his second aunt in his arms. He was crying until he was hiccuping and his eyes and nose were red.
The best scam is to fool yourself first!
"Ningning, I just picked up two telegrams for you in the county. One of them is from Captain Huo." Captain Luo wiped his tears and handed over the envelope in his arms.
"See if you have any results in rescuing the mother and daughter? If they have no place to stay, just come to our Sixth Brigade. I will apply for a homestead for them!"
In an instant, scorching gazes swept over from all directions.
Jiang Ningning shuddered.
...How will this end?
