Cheng Xiao Kui looked at her younger brother speechlessly. Although she knew that her brother was just concerned about her, his commotion might disrupt their plans.
She said, "Dongkui, it's not appropriate for us to make a scene at the military headquarters! Think about it, your second sister is doing well at the military headquarters, and now a spy has been caught, which at least proves that your second sister is not a spy."
"We just need to wait for the military investigation. What you're doing is actually bad for your second sister."
Cheng Dongkui looked Cheng Chunhui up and down and said, "No, you didn't say that before. You used to be more anxious than anyone else to save Second Sister."
Why aren't you in a hurry now? You wouldn't happen to want to take over this courtyard if Second Sister doesn't come back, would you?!
Cheng Xiao Kui's face twitched violently, and the dough balls stuck to her face almost fell off.
She said, "What did your mother teach you? You haven't learned anything good, and you only think the worst of people!"
I have absolutely no interest in this courtyard, and besides, I have hands and feet; I can earn my own living.
I just feel that the military has been using all its resources to investigate the spy matter, even though it's obvious to everyone that your second sister is not a spy.
However, there might be fewer procedural issues or witnesses. We've already tracked down Wu Jianguo, and if we continue investigating along his trail, we'll definitely be able to catch everyone.
Then it will be completely proven that your second sister isn't a spy! If you go to the military now, aren't you just causing trouble for the old leaders?!
Cheng Dongkui said, "Anyway, I don't feel at ease until my second sister comes back! And lately I've been feeling uneasy, like something terrible is going to happen at home."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Don't worry. When we see Dr. Song again, we'll ask him for his opinion and hear what he has to say. You and your third sister can go to her house together later."
Just as she was talking to her brother, she unexpectedly saw Lin Qiuru leading two children into the yard.
She quickly stood up and went to greet her, "Mom... um... who are you looking for?"
She made several inconsistencies in her words, almost causing her to slip up.
Cheng Qiuqiu followed and said, "Eldest sister, this is second sister's mother-in-law!"
Lin Qiuru said, "You are Xiaokui's mother-in-law!"
He said to the steamed bun, "That's me!"
"I'm a xiaolongbao! We've come to find our mom!"
Looking at the two children, Cheng Xiao Kui wished she could quickly hug them.
But she's Cheng Chun Kui now, she can't do that.
She smiled and said, "So it's my mother-in-law! Mother-in-law, please have a seat!"
"You're xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), yes, I've heard my sister mention you. She said you're so well-behaved, her precious darlings! Want some something delicious? Auntie will get you some!"
She swayed Lin Qiuru and the two children to sit down, then went to get several plates of delicious grilled skewers, braised dishes, and fried chicken frames.
However, the two children didn't even look at these things, since they had more than enough to eat at home every day.
Cheng Xiao Kui pulled out a handful of candy from her pocket, and sure enough, no child could resist the temptation of candy.
The two children each shared a piece of candy.
Little Dumpling tilted her head and asked, "Auntie, where's my mom?"
She also asked, "Auntie, where's my mom?"
Lin Qiuru looked at Cheng Chunqiu and Cheng Qiuqiu without speaking, and said, "You don't need to hide it from me anymore, I've heard everything from the neighbors. Is my son dead? Has my daughter-in-law been arrested?"
She couldn't control her emotions at the end and burst into tears.
Cheng Xiao Kui gently patted Lin Qiu Ru's back and said, "Mother-in-law, who told you that? This gossip deserves to have his tongue cut out."
Your son didn't die; he's perfectly fine at military headquarters! He was just wounded and is hospitalized in a military hospital.
Lin Qiuru looked up at Cheng Chunqiu with disbelief and said, "Auntie, you can't lie! You can't lie to children and the elderly!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "I'm not lying to you! Si Muyang really is in the military hospital. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dr. Song when he comes!"
Si Muyang didn't die; he was just critically ill a few days ago, and everyone thought he wouldn't make it. But he's in good health, and although he was critically ill several times and received a critical condition notice, he always made it through. Now he's getting better every day, and I heard he'll be fully recovered in a few more days.
Lin Qiuru held Cheng Xiaokui's hand and said, "Really? My son will be fully recovered in a few days?"
Cheng Xiao Kui nodded, "Yes. He'll recover in a few days."
Lin Qiuru continued, "What about my daughter-in-law? Was she arrested?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Yes, she was falsely accused of being a spy, so she was arrested by the military. But now the real spy has been arrested, so the suspicion against her has been cleared."
"I estimate that the case will be closed in a few days, and she'll be able to come back. Don't worry, neither your son nor your daughter-in-law will be alright!"
Lin Qiuru then looked at Cheng Qiukui.
Cheng Qiuqiu nodded and said, "Mother-in-law, my sister wasn't lying, everything she said is true!"
She raised three fingers and swore an oath to heaven.
Lin Qiuru took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and spat twice on the ground. "Those gossipy people, they deserve to die a horrible death! They actually said my son had sacrificed himself! My heart almost broke! He's my only son!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Others gossip and spread rumors, making the story more and more outrageous! But a lie is a lie. If you don't believe me, go see Dr. Song and ask him!"
Lin Qiuru nodded and said, "I believe you! To be honest, my heart was aching terribly just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
Cheng Xiaokui said with a smile, "Don't worry! You'll see your son and daughter-in-law come back together in a few days!"
As she spoke, she looked out into the courtyard, wondering if Song Jingchuan would come today. And what about the spy chief she was trying to hookâwould he come looking for her?
Xiaolongbao said, "My grandma kept crying at home, she stopped doing her business, closed the door, and brought us here to find you."
Grandma, I told you, my parents would be alright! They're good people. Grandma Wang said good people are always protected by heaven!
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Xiao Long Bao can even say idioms now! That's great! Yes! Good people are always blessed!"
Cheng Qiu Kui said, "Mother-in-law, since you're not doing business today, why don't you stay here for the night and have a get-together with us? I haven't seen you for a while and I miss you quite a bit."
Lin Qiuru said, "I think the reason you didn't tell me when my son was hospitalized a few days ago was because you were afraid I would worry."
Actually, you should have told me. If I had known the truth, I wouldn't have believed what others were saying!
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "You're right. We'll let you know no matter what happens in the future!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Cheng Xiaokui suddenly saw a figure flash by. This figure was extremely familiar to her, so familiar that she was somewhat puzzled.
Isn't Si Muyang still in the hospital?
Who was that person who flashed by just now? ...
