At midnight, there was a knock on Lu Shiyi's door, and he woke up Su Jin when he got up.
"Ayi..." Su Jin opened her eyes dazedly and looked at him, seeing him wearing a military uniform.
"Liu Chuchang brought Hu Zhuang and Ning Shu here, and Ning Shu just confessed everything." Lu Shiyi prepared to go to the interrogation room. "We'll talk about it tonight."
Su Jin nodded, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Lu Shiyi walked out of the house and saw Lin Zitao standing in front of him.
"Ning Shu cooperated very well and informed Liu Chuchang about the matter with the Xin family. Hu Zhuang played a significant role in it." After Lin Zitao got the news, he called Lu Shiyi overnight.
The two of them walked towards the office in a disjointed manner, and ordered the patrol team members to strengthen patrols and guard several entrances strictly.
Early in the morning, the bell for work rang. Su Jin and Yun Feng walked to the fields together and found that the families were very silent today.
"Xiao Jin, Ning Shu and Hu Zhuang have been brought here. The Ning family's children have been sent to the Third Brigade as soon as possible." Yun Feng looked at Su Jin and whispered, "I heard from Lao Lin that the logistics staff went there personally and built a yard and house for the children. They come to check on them every few months."
Su Jin didn't say anything, and Yun Feng would probably help.
Ning Xiaojiao is a teenager. The people in the third team protect her and outsiders cannot interfere. There are also greedy people in the fourth team who want to take over the house.
"We have to go every month, and we have to send different people." Su Jin reminded Yun Feng that if they only went there to inspect, it would be bad if they were bribed.
"Xiao Jin is right," Liu Yunshan nodded in agreement. Old Wu made all the arrangements. "Every time, I go over from the logistics department to check on people."
The family members were working with farm tools and no one had time to talk.
"Aunt, Xiaojin, start working first." Yunfeng saw that Old Wei was called out by Liu Chuchang and realized that the situation had changed.
Several people started working, and the family members glanced over here, wondering what was going on with the Ning and Hu families.
The two couples met in the interrogation room. Ning Shu looked at his wife's haggard look, and Lu Shiyi handed the interrogation room over to the two couples.
Ning Shu stared at Sister Ning and said, "Wife, I have settled Xiao Jiao's siblings in the third brigade."
Mrs. Ning smiled bitterly: "Xiao Jiao can't cook yet, what should they do?"
"It'll be okay. Lao Lin and Lao Lu will make arrangements." Ning Shu patted her hand. "Let's go to the northwest for a few years. I believe they will grow up."
"What about the Hu family's situation? I obeyed Sister Hu's arrangements, which is why my family is in such a predicament." Sister Ning looked at him apologetically, "I dragged you into this."
Ning Shu comforted her, "Wife, I've asked Xiao Jiao to take care of my younger siblings. I've given her all the money and tickets from home. Old Wu has also agreed to send some food over. Together, the children should be able to hold on for at least half a year."
Lu Shiyi leaned against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth.
Lin Zitao reached out and patted his shoulder. The two of them had not slept all night and had heard a lot of information from Ning Shu. Liu Chuchang had already sent people to verify it.
"My wife and sister-in-law will help me soon." Lin Zitao took a cigarette and started smoking. When the two of them were feeling down, they would use cigarettes to numb themselves. "Liu Chuchang doesn't have any female soldiers around him, so it would be better for the two family members to be female. It would be easier to talk to them."
"I'll talk to Xiao Jin after work." Lu Shiyi agreed with Lin Zitao. "The two family members should have something else to say. Ask Sister Ning first. Sister Hu should have a closer relationship with the Xin family."
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the bell for the end of work rang, and the family members flocked to the edge of the field.
"Aunt Liu, Teacher Yun, Teacher Su, I heard that Sister Ning and Sister Hu are in the interrogation room?" The family members were very nervous. They had been around the two sisters-in-law a lot when they were in the family compound. "Are they okay?"
"The two sisters-in-law were just being used by someone with ulterior motives." Yunfeng helped them explain. Ning Xiaojiao and the others lived in the Third Brigade. It would be good for the two children if Sister-in-law Ning had a good reputation. "You all need to be vigilant and prevent someone from taking advantage of you."
The family members were stunned: "Being exploited has implicated the head of the family, and even the children can only become educated youth."
"Teacher Su, you're an educated youth. Hu Xiaojiao and her siblings are all going to the countryside. Although it's not far from us, we can't take care of them like we do in the family compound. Please make a list and ask the logistics staff to help prepare it." The family members looked at Su Jin, hoping she could help. "As educated youth, there's probably a lot we don't know."
Su Jin looked at several family members and found that some of them had calculating looks in their eyes, and they hoped that Su Jin would be involved.
"The educated youth were arranged by the Educated Youth Office." Su Jin looked at the family members and said, "What the family prepared was just clothes and bedding. In the first year, the brigade headquarters could lend them food, and the logistics department would secretly deliver food. They are all under 18 years old. Even if the people in the Third Brigade protect them, there is no guarantee that people from other villages will not get the news."
Su Jin reminded the family members that the logistics director also appeared outside the crowd.
"Teacher Su, how much food can the brigade borrow?" The logistics director wanted to send food openly to support the children, but "the brigade members will be even more taboo if we send food openly."
"Ning Xiaojiao will be 16 by the end of this year, which is engagement age in the village. There's no guarantee that people from other villages won't target her and her siblings." Su Jin spread his hands. "If the logistics team members send more food over, they'll become an even bigger thorn in their side."
When the family members heard Su Jin's reminder, they all sighed. Before Ning Shu left, could he arrange a marriage for Ning Xiaojiao?
"Xiao Jiao grew up under our care. We can't let her suffer any injustice. Ning Shu and his wife did something wrong. We can let Xiao Jiao reform on the farm." Two family members who had a good relationship with Mrs. Ning spoke up for Ning Xiao Jiao.
After listening to the family members' opinions, the logistics director also thought this was a good idea.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please have lunch first. I will discuss with Wu Bu, Lu Bu, and Political Commissar Lin. If possible, let the three Ning children stay on the farm." The logistics director promised. "The Hu couple didn't communicate. They didn't say anything."
He explained in public that he would leave the Ning children behind, but asked Hu Yuan to take the three siblings to a distant village.
"The eldest girl in the Hu family is very scheming. My daughter has been schemed against by her several times." Several sisters-in-law complained.
"Wife, please help me and Sister Yunfeng. I asked Zong Li to go home and take care of Hanhan." Lu Shiyi appeared in front of everyone, "Sister-in-law, please come over too."
He took Su Jin's hand and walked forward, and Yunfeng handed the farm tools to Liu Yunshan.
"Auntie, please help me return the farm tools." Yunfeng handed the farm tools to Liu Yunshan.
The three of them walked side by side. After leaving the crowd, Lu Shiyi told Yunfeng and Su Jinning about his sister-in-law's situation.
