When Zhang Dakai received the news that Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru had left Beijing, he was immediately furious.
He smashed the thermos and cups in the guesthouse onto the ground, roaring furiously, "Guan Wanxin, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless!"
After Zhang Dakai finished venting, Zhang Jiajun spoke up again, "Dad, the most urgent thing is to acquire some assets. We must get the money for the charter flight as soon as possible, otherwise it will really be too late."
"You think I don't know?" Zhang Dakai glared at him. "All you ever do is nag, nag, nag. Do I owe you anything?"
Zhang Jiajun lowered his head slightly, not daring to utter a sound.
Zhang Dakai was just having a fit of temper and needed to vent it.
After he finished venting, he was finally able to speak properly. "What are your thoughts now? Guan Wanxin is determined to get rid of me. They have already voluntarily gone to the countryside, and Guan Hongqi has also joined the army. No matter how much we make a fuss, it will probably be in vain. We'll have to find another way to pay for the charter flight."
Zhang Jiajun frowned. "Dad, over the years, many people have only associated with us because of the Guan family. Now that the Guan family has abandoned us, we definitely won't be able to borrow money from others."
Zhang Dakai knew this too; he clenched his fists so tightly his back teeth were about to break.
The father and son remained silent for a long time.
Zhang Dakai suddenly stood up. “Since they’re gone, let’s go into those two courtyard houses and take a look. If I’m not mistaken, the Guan family must have a secret room. Back when there was war, Guan Wanxin was able to move box after box of gold out of her house to exchange for money and supplies. It must be related to that secret room. Let’s go find it.”
Zhang Jiajun had been waiting for these words, and he immediately replied, "Okay, that's the only way."
This time, they invited both Zhang Aili and Zhang Zhibo.
The family didn't have keys to both courtyard houses, so they had to wait until night to climb over the wall and get in.
In the dead of night, they climbed over the wall and entered the Guan family's courtyard house, just like last time.
They searched the place thoroughly, inside and out, with flashlights in their hands, but the result left them dumbfounded!
The Guan family's house is deserted; even rats probably wouldn't bother with it!
Even the coffee table, bed, and other furniture in the house are gone!
After searching around and around, Zhang Dakai and the others couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing loudly.
Coincidentally, their cursing attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
One of the neighbors also has the key to this courtyard house.
After she and the others rushed in, they quickly took control of the Zhang family.
Zhang Dakai and the others were still shouting, claiming that they were the owners of this courtyard house.
But the neighbor had already received instructions from Guan Wanxin, and now he was determined to transfer the Zhang family to the police station no matter what.
...
No one cares what the Zhang family did or what their fate was.
Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru rested well at the guesthouse for two days. After their bodies had fully recovered from their fatigue, the grandmother and granddaughter went out, found a secluded place, and took out all the necessary daily necessities from their spatial storage.
After moving the items out, Guan Wanxin went to a post office and called He Yanzhi's unit, asking him to send a large truck to pick them up.
Because Guan Wanxin had said she would rest for two days, and today is the third day, He Yanzhi guessed that they would come today, so he found a military truck early this morning.
As soon as he received the call, he sent a car to pick up the person and the items.
He has an important meeting to attend today and can't get away.
Fortunately, he guessed that Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru would have a lot of things, so he also sent two of his soldiers to help carry things.
After a whole morning of running around, Guan Wenru and the others finally arrived at the family compound close to noon.
This is a large family compound of a division headquarters, with many military dependents living there.
Perhaps because newcomers don't often come to the family compound, as soon as Guan Wenru and her group arrived, many military families gathered around to greet them.
As the military truck stopped, several soldiers unloaded their belongings and placed them in front of the last two houses on the right side of Courtyard No. 1. One of the soldiers' family members couldn't wait to ask Guan Wenru, "Sister, are you from Regiment Commander He's family or Battalion Commander Han's family?"
Guan Wenru: "..."
What a coincidence!
She almost became the wife of Battalion Commander Han, but in the end she became the wife of Regiment Commander He.
She remained calm and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. I am He Yanzhi's wife. My name is Guan Wenru. You can call me Xiao Guan from now on."
"Oh my, Commander He's wife is really beautiful! No wonder Commander He is in such a hurry to get married. He must be afraid that if he is too late, you will run away with someone else."
Amid the banter, the woman extended her hand, saying, "Little Guan, welcome to our big family. My surname is Zeng, and I also live in this courtyard. My house is right across from yours. If you ever need any help, just let me know."
Guan Wenru extended her hand and gently shook hers. "Thank you so much, sister-in-law. I'm new here and there are bound to be many things I don't understand. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future!"
In fact, she was very familiar with the people in this family compound.
After all, in her previous life, after marrying Han Haoxian, she also brought her two children here to accompany the army and lived here for a long time.
So she knew that the woman in front of her, Sister Zeng, was the wife of the political commissar of the division. She was very warm and welcoming, but she came from the countryside and was a typical rural woman who was not very particular about personal hygiene.
Besides Sister Zeng, many other military dependents also came to say hello.
Guan Wenru responded to each of them, and also introduced her grandmother to them.
Before long, the soldiers responsible for unloading the items from the general's truck had also finished unloading them.
They quickly moved into the last house in the row of houses on the right.
