125: His Letter (2/2)



Wen Qiao had no idea what the emperor was.

But she knew that her mother's mother was not from an ordinary family.

She was too young to understand why her mother married her father.

Why is it that other people all have maternal grandmothers and go back to their maternal grandparents' home during holidays?

But she never visited any of her relatives.

She had never been to her grandparents' house.

Later, when his father passed away, he left without saying a word to his mother before he passed away.

Your mother said that your father was an intellectual and your grandfather was also a scholar.

Her mother didn't know what her true identity was, and Wen Qiao knew nothing about it either.

Years later, after Lü Yazhi remarried, Wen Qiao asked her mother about her grievances time and time again.

Why don't we go find our relatives? Let's go and stay with them.

Lu Yazhi told her to treat her father and mother as orphans with no relatives.

It's not that I don't have relatives, it's that I simply can't find them.

In chaotic times, how much fate must one have to meet someone who has been separated from their loved ones?

Wen Qiao suddenly thought of her mother. She had called her mother a few days ago, but no one answered. She decided to try calling again later.

Composing herself, Wen Qiao hurriedly walked outside. Seeing her anxious expression, Su Mei came forward.

"Tell me what you need and I'll do it."

Wen Qiao then said, "Well then, Sister Su, come out with me for a bit. I'd like to find someone to get some meat."

Wen Qiao had originally planned to send Su Mei, but Su Mei had just arrived at the family compound, and she was afraid that if she were asked to go find Squad Leader Sun, she wouldn't be able to.

Su Mei didn't ask any more questions, but simply turned around and locked the door to her daughter's room.

Then he followed Wen Qiao out the door.

Li Qin was sweeping the dust in her own yard.

Seeing Wen Qiao walk ahead and Su Mei follow behind, they went straight out of the family compound gate.

What are they doing?

Just as I was heading to the nearby camp, I ran into Wang Gang, who was returning from his unit.

“Sister-in-law, where are you going? If you need anything, just come to my house and let me know. There’s no need for you to run back and forth.”

Seeing Wen Qiao's undeniably large belly, Wang Gang became worried.

Wen Qiao said, "I'm going to the front camp to find Squad Leader Sun. I'd like to get some mutton or beef."

Pork was rationed and could only be purchased per person, so Wen Qiao couldn't buy much. But beef and mutton could be bought as long as you had the money.

"What kind of meat do you want? Just tell me and I'll have someone get it for you."

“Zhang Wenshu has been quite busy these past few days, so I asked him to do some clerk work for Deputy Division Commander Shen. He was originally supposed to go on duty with Deputy Division Commander Shen, but Deputy Division Commander Shen said that the clerk didn’t need to go and could just stay at the division headquarters.”

"I'll have him follow you now. If you need anything, just talk to him directly..."

Wen Qiao thought, "That works too."

Anyway, she just wanted someone to get her some meat.

Wang Gang then called Wen Qiao and Su Mei to go home.

Li Qin had just finished sweeping the yard and was about to prepare dinner when she saw her husband return.

Wen Qiao and Su Mei also returned.

She walked quickly toward the front door.

"Wen Qiao, where did you two go? Why did you come back with Lao Wang?"

Wen Qiao said, "I was originally going to the camp to find Squad Leader Sun, but I ran into Brother Wang. Brother Wang took care of it, so I came back."

Without saying much, Wen Qiao and Su Mei headed home.

Li Qin chased after Wang Gang, but he ignored her.

Li Qin said sourly:

"Look at you, no matter how many children Wen Qiao is carrying, they're not yours, they belong to Deputy Division Commander Shen. You're like a badger in a melon patch, always chasing after him, while you don't seem to care about your wife and children at all."

Wang Gang muttered a curse.

"You don't know anything. We only need to care about Wen Qiao because Deputy Division Commander Shen isn't here. If he were here, why would we care?"

"If you dare say such brainless things in front of Wen Qiao, I'll beat you up."
