Because of the intruder, the farm was in chaos. The Fourth Battalion was in turmoil all night, but no one was injured or killed. When the other battalions heard about what happened to the Fourth Battalion, they all prepared to stay away from the farm in the back mountain.
The members of the Fourth Brigade didn't care. The old people in the back mountain were very kind. When they met in the woods, the old people would occasionally give the children fruit candies.
Under the guidance of adults, the children often collected firewood and brought it to the farm gate, asking the team members to help carry it in.
Liu Yunshan led Su Jin and Yunfeng to discuss holding a meeting with the family members, preparing to inform them of their mistakes.
It turned out that the family member Hu Xiaoniang's parents lived in the village of the Second Battalion, and the enemy had rented a house there for half a year in advance to gather information about the farm in the back mountain.
Hu Xiaoniang's family always thought that their daughter was capable. By marrying a soldier, their family had gained a lot of benefits. Hu Xiaoniang gave her mother 5 yuan every month, and all the villagers in the second brigade envied her.
After much investigation and comparison, the enemy went to the Second Battalion. Under the pressure of money, Hu Xiaoniang's mother told everything she knew. The enemy gave money to Hu Xiaoniang's mother to help inquire about the information.
In just one month, the enemy not only figured out the location of the farm, but also knew the residential distribution of the elderly people.
After a night of interrogation, Hu Xiaoniang could no longer hold back and directly spoke about the questions asked by her parents. Every question was a key point for the elders, even the number of people guarding the farm.
After hearing her mother's inquiry, Hu Xiaoniang came to the farm to take a look and told her family about the situation.
"Aunt, where is Hu Xiaoniang's husband?" Su Jin looked at Liu Yunshan after hearing this. "Did he tell Hu Xiaoniang the news?"
"You and Shi Yi are worried about the same thing. The team member Hu Xiaoniang married has been stationed at the border. He hasn't returned since Hu Xiaoniang entered the farm." Liu Yunshan said helplessly, "After the incident, he has been transferred back and will be able to come to the farm tomorrow morning. We'll make a decision when he arrives."
Hu Xiaoniang's family was brought back, and the Hu family members felt threatened. The money was divided among the Hu family members, and they didn't know the situation was so serious.
Since childhood, the Hu family has favored boys over girls. Hu Xiaoniang was taught that she should help her parents' family even after getting married. Therefore, even after getting married, Hu Xiaoniang still listened to her parents' family.
Su Jin followed Liu Yunshan into the interrogation room. Hu Xiaoniang's eyes were red from crying. After the two sat down, Hu Xiaoniang looked up at them.
"Aunt, Sister-in-law Lu, I..." Hu Xiaoniang called out to several people in a hoarse voice.
"Mrs. Hu, how did your family get in touch with those people?" Liu Yunshan opened the interrogation notebook, and Wu Jun and Lu Shiyi listed the questions they wanted to ask.
Su Jin was holding a work log waiting to be copied, writing down the questions and answers between Liu Yunshan and Hu Xiaoniang.
Liu Yunshan glanced at Su Jin's calligraphy of plum blossom calligraphy and felt secretly happy. Lu Shiyi's vision was indeed good. The talented girl from Jiangsu and Zhejiang was spotted as soon as she arrived.
Hu Xiaoniang looked up at the two of them again: "Aunt, will the affairs of my mother's family affect the head of the family?"
"Yes! You are providing information. We'll see after Dazhuang comes back." Liu Yunshan said truthfully, "The final outcome depends on what you have reported."
"I seldom go home. Every time I ask, I am asked when I am chatting. I think my family is not on guard." Hu Xiaoniang explained tearfully.
Liu Yunshan clenched her right fist. Hu Xiaoniang was plotted against by her family, but she had to bear all the responsibilities she should bear.
"Hu Xiaoniang, when you came to the family compound, the Political Department gave you a confidentiality course, right?" Liu Yunshan looked at Hu Xiaoniang and asked.
Hu Xiaoniang nodded: "I forgot about this when I was at home."
"Your family has plotted against you a lot. Many family members have advised you, but you have never listened." Liu Yunshan remembered the family members in the family compound. They discovered the conspiracy of Hu Xiaoniang's family and advised her not to always listen to her family for the sake of her children.
Hu Xiaoniang lowered her head, feeling very sad. Her two daughters had been criticized since they were young. Apart from the food and clothing for the family, all the clothes and things her husband bought for the children were sent back to her parents' home.
Hu Zi didn't say anything, but gave things to the two children without telling her. Hu Xiaoniang knew that her husband was dissatisfied with his family.
"Aunt, if it doesn't affect Hu Zi, please say a few good words for me. I will definitely not contact my parents' home anymore and will take good care of the two children." Hu Xiaoniang suddenly came to her senses.
Liu Yunshan heard from Wu Jun that if Hu Zi protected Hu Xiaoniang, he would only have to stay in the border for one more year.
She didn't tell Hu Xiaoniang for the time being, just wanting her to think more about Hu Zi and the three children.
"You stay here. Someone will take you to the solitary confinement room. Wait until Hu Zi comes back before going back." Liu Yunshan looked at Su Jin's notes and said to Hu Xiaoniang, "Your two daughters and one son have been sent to the elderly to be taken care of. They won't starve or freeze."
Hu Xiaoniang felt relieved after hearing Liu Yunshan's words and prepared to wait for Hu Zi to come back.
She has decided to change. Hu Xiaoniang is completely disappointed with her natal family. Knowing Hu Zi's identity, she got involved with those people.
Lu Shiyi was waiting at the door of the interrogation room. Su Jin saw him standing in the sunlight and immediately ran over.
Liu Yunshan stood in the corridor and noticed the young couple's actions with a faint smile on her face.
"Shi Yi, take Su Jin back first. Hanhan should be awake by now." Liu Yunshan and Wu Junlan put everything aside and asked Lu Shiyi to take Su Jin home.
"Thank you, auntie!" After Lu Shiyi expressed his gratitude, the couple left the interrogation room.
The two went to Yunfeng's house to pick up their son and found that the little guy was still sleeping in his cradle.
"The little brat is so careless, he's been sleeping the whole time." Su Jin watched Lu Shiyi put Hanhan into the crib, "Let's quickly clean up the kitchen and the house."
When Su Jin stepped into the yard of her home, she found that everything had been turned upside down and the jars and pots in the kitchen had been broken.
"Ayi, we need to replenish a lot of things." Su Jin smiled bitterly, "Even the pickled vegetables were kicked to pieces. How can we hide people in this?"
After the other party entered the room, they started to smash and destroy everything, and every place where people could hide was smashed.
"You have really put a lot of effort into capturing us. However, we have also built a secret room in our house so that you and your son can hide in it if there is any danger." Since the interrogation began and Lu Shiyi heard that the enemy broke into the house but did not see the families of the three main officers, he began to think about renovating the house.
"My aunt also reminded me that the current situation is not very good. If we just rebuild our house, we might be able to avoid the disaster." Su Jin told Lu Shiyi, "There is a secret room in my aunt's house and a kitchen."
Lu Shiyi listened carefully to Su Jin's words, wondering whether he should go to Wu's department to ask someone to find out about the secret room. Lu Shiyi was not very good at these things, but Wu Jun was indeed an expert.
"I'll go talk to Captain Wu. He's the best at this." Lu Shiyi reached out and patted Su Jin's hand and said.
