The couple brought some things, and Shen Jichuan chatted with them for a while before solemnly instructing Zhou Xingchao and Li Meilan to take the things away.
"Our relationship has always been pure, and even now, it cannot be mixed with anything else."
"Old Zhou, if you bring anything, don't say you know me, Shen Jichuan."
Zhou Xingchao was speechless after those two sentences.
I had no choice but to take my things home.
After closing the door, Li Meilan looked at Zhou Xingchao.
"It seems I was overthinking it. I always felt that if someone helped us, we should always give them something in return. I didn't expect that Shen Jichuan doesn't like that at all."
Zhou Xingchao glanced at his wife.
"I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right?"
"If you're giving a gift to someone else, you can give it away, but if you're giving it to Shen Jichuan, he will absolutely not accept it."
"I was just thinking that it would be very impolite and unethical to not speak or express anything."
"Old Zhou, to be honest, I'm really reluctant to leave here. Although going to Tianjin would be nice, as it's not far from the northern part of the city, I've lived in this family compound for almost twenty years, and I'm still quite reluctant to leave."
"I have to leave, even if I don't want to."
"Pack your things these next few days. I'll be there early next Saturday. You take the kids and pack up your things, then we'll find someone to come and haul them away. Also, let our relatives and friends know we're moving."
Li Meilan responded.
Her job can be arranged by the military, and it will be the same when she retires, so Li Meilan is not worried at all.
Before leaving, Zhou Xingchao invited Shen Jichuan, Zhao Minghan, and several other comrades to a gathering at Zhou's house.
Two days after the dinner, Zhou Xingchao went to work at the Tianjin Military Region.
The day Zhou Xingchao went to Tianjin happened to be the day of the funeral of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
Shen Xiao is back.
They came back for the funeral.
It's unclear what Shen Xiao heard from his father, but he came straight to Shen Jichuan's house.
It happened to be a Saturday, and both Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan were at home.
Wen Qiao planned to accompany her mother to the labor market to find workers to do some simple renovations to the canteen they had contracted.
Before I even left the house, I saw Shen Xiao knocking on the door.
"Where is my uncle?" Shen Xiao asked, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Wen Qiao. His voice was hoarse and his face was haggard. He was clearly in his twenties, but he looked much more haggard and aged than a man in his forties.
Wen Qiao asked calmly, "What do you want with him? Does your family still have any connection with him?"
"Wen Qiao, I'm not here to argue with you. I just want to find Shen Jichuan and get to the bottom of this: did he cause my grandmother's death?"
Shen Xiao received a call from his father saying that his grandmother had passed away, and he immediately submitted a report to ask for leave and went home.
As soon as he got home, he heard his father say that his grandmother had been angered to death by his uncle, Shen Jichuan, and he immediately wanted to go find Shen Jichuan.
But her mother stopped her.
My mother asked, "Do you still want your job?"
If you offend Shen Jichuan, he'll make things difficult for you, and your life will be over.
Su Yugui felt sorry for her son's hardships over the years.
As an outstanding graduate of military academy, he should have had a bright future ahead of him, but unexpectedly, he was transferred to a remote area...
Shen Xiao harbored prejudice and hatred towards Shen Jichuan.
In addition, Zhang Yourong's death further aggravated Shen Xiao.
With the mindset of quitting the army if possible, he was determined to find Shen Jichuan and get to the bottom of things.
