Grandpa Shen would compromise on anything in order to have a grandson.
Looking back now, he realizes that what Suqin said was unpleasant.
"Father!" Shen Lao Er's wife was anxious. Was he really going to take his anger out on her daughter?
Grandpa, I'm leaving now!
"Uncle Zeng is so generous, I'll go find something for my sister-in-law too," Shen Ruomei said.
"Father! What should we do about Suqin?" Shen Lao Er didn't dare to forcefully stop Shen Ruomei.
In this family, the old man rarely scolded Shen Ruomei, which made Shen Suqin particularly jealous of her.
Grandpa Shen didn't hear about this at all. "Ruomei, what can you possibly get in return?"
Come with me!
Mr. and Mrs. Shen watched helplessly as Shen Ruomei followed the old man into the house. Their hearts were breaking!
Not long after, Shen Ruomei left with a small wooden box.
When Shen Ruomei got home, she called her father.
“…You child! Don’t go there next time, stay away from them.”
Shen Ruomei: "Dad, what should we do with Shen Suqin?" If Shen Suqin hadn't gotten involved, Song Yan's child would have been born calling her aunt.
"I have a plan for this."
"I'll have Zhou Gang pick up what you took tomorrow. Don't do it again!" Shen Changchuan's words were somewhat stern.
"knew!"…
After the courtyard house was tidied up, Song Yan paid the right amount of money and the work was done well.
Everything inside and out has been cleaned thoroughly.
Song Yan put the things into his spatial storage, and the two of them went home early in the morning.
When Lao Liao and Xia Juntao arrived, Wei Aiguo had already put away his everyday belongings.
The new house is missing many things. Song Yan is calculating how much fabric he needs to make curtains.
Just then, Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived. She was worried about Song Yan's safety returning to the brigade with her large belly, and planned to take Song Yan back before going home herself. Unexpectedly, Wei Aiguo returned!
Shen Ruomei arrived late at this time.
Xia Juntao: "What time is it? Is there still time for you to get back to work?"
Shen Ruomei: "I did something you wouldn't believe." The things Shen Ruomei brought were outside the door! They were Song Yan's things from school. "I brought the things you packed."
Xia Juntao reached out to help, "It's alright, it looks pretty good."
"Better than you!"
Song Yan's gaze lingered on them. He had witnessed their intimate interaction yesterday.
Shen Ruomei: "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Song Yan did not answer.
…
This house only needs simple furnishing; we can discuss any additional items when our family arrives.
The kitchen also has basic pots and pans, as well as grains, vegetables, and meat.
No one expected that so much food was available. Everyone, except Song Yan, cooked the meal together.
Tomorrow, Wei Aiguo will go to the military base and have Shen Changchuan approve his leave request. He plans to leave the day after tomorrow!
There was one thing that Wei Aiguo had been pondering.
Su Zhaohai burned down the courtyard where Su Rui went to retrieve the gold bars.
The time between the discovery of the gold bars on Su Rui's person and Su Zhaohai burning down the house was really short.
If there were anything in that room, unless it was just one or two items, he would have had almost no chance of taking anything else. Did he really burn it all down?
But things like porcelain and gold bars can't be burned by a large fire. This means the contents inside might burn completely. That doesn't make sense!
The owner of that courtyard died long ago, and the courtyard has been taken over by the public.
Based on the obvious clues, Su Zhaohai cannot be found in that courtyard.
Why did Su Zhaohai insist on burning down the house? What was he trying to destroy, or what was he trying to cover up?
After Wei Aiguo, he kept thinking about this matter.
The secret passage used to apprehend antique dealers sparked an idea in Wei Aiguo's mind.
If Su Zhaohai burning down the courtyard was just a cover-up!
Just like when Song Yan took Ms. He to the basement, there was a big lock on the outside, plus clues left intentionally.
It was a very successful sleight of hand.
…
People who are eager to go home are particularly anxious, and Song Yan's heart was at ease only after he boarded the train.
Shen Changchuan helped buy the sleeper ticket, a lower berth. Wei Aiguo didn't refuse. When Wei Aiguo gave Shen Changchuan the money for the ticket, he didn't refuse either.
Once the train started moving, Song Yan was settled in.
Wei Aiguo stared blankly out the window.
Song Yan: What are you thinking about?
"I was thinking about Commander Shen. He was so thoughtful and never forced me to do anything."
His methods are even more ruthless than using force against me.
When fighting an enemy, the best strategy is to win their hearts and minds, subduing them without a fight.
The middle strategy is that in a battle between two armies, the stronger one will prevail.
"The worst option..."
"What's the worst option?" Song Yan asked.
"Knowing full well that they could not win, they still stubbornly resisted."
General Shen used the best strategy.
I'm not heartless. If he's so meticulous and silent about everything he does, without expecting anything in return, I'll eventually run out of steam.
I'm using a less desirable strategy.
Song Yan couldn't help but laugh. "You're quite smart to realize that you've made a bad choice."
Song Yan sat down next to Wei Aiguo and whispered, "Have you confirmed your true identity?"
Wei Aiguo: "When I was face to face with him, the feeling was very different."
We talked for a longer time today, and that feeling... that feeling, perhaps it's the feeling of being connected by blood.
Wei Aiguo closed his eyes slightly, recalling their conversation...
"...You were still in the warehouse, and you dared to detonate the explosives? Did you even consider your own safety?"
"I know the explosive strength of the homemade explosives I make based on the amount of explosives," Wei Aiguo said.
