Chapter 269 Returning to the Family Compound



"There's nothing delicious at home, but we do have some winter vegetables. You can eat whatever my wife cooks!" Lu Shiyi has to be more cautious this year.

"This village woman might have committed suicide due to domestic violence!" Liu Chuchang had an idea in his mind. There weren't many people in the village who committed suicide for food.

When visiting the villagers and looking at the people from the police station, some honest ones said that women who commit suicide are always beaten. Many young wives who have just married into the village said that if they encounter such a situation, they will definitely not survive.

"If he committed suicide due to domestic violence and they want to frame us, we have to investigate whether there is someone instigating it behind the scenes." Lu Shiyi sighed.

"With the people above watching over them, you've taken good care of the old men. You've received even more praise from the higher-ups." Liu Chuchang informed Lu Shiyi, "Even after Wu Bu retires, he should be able to move up a position."

The next morning, the news that Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao had returned to live here spread, and many family members took advantage of working hours to visit Sister Yunfeng at the Lin family's house.

Su Jin was strolling in her yard holding Hanhan. She heard the noise from the yard next door and tilted her head to look into the distance.

Five boys around ten years old gathered around Lin Lei and Lin Yan. Lin Yan was young and had long been impatient with these former friends.

"Aunt Jin, is Hanhan awake?" Seeing Su Jin showing up, Lin Yan immediately found an excuse to come to the Lu family.

Su Jin raised the corners of her mouth slightly and led Lin Yan into the living room.

"Why are you impatient? Don't you always want to come back to see your friends?" Su Jin noticed that Lin Yan was in a bad mood and asked immediately.

Lin Yan had been longing to return to the farm to see his friends, but when he came back today, he felt even more unhappy.

"Aunt Jin, Uncle Lu told us yesterday that our little friend might have changed. My brother and I didn't believe it. When we came back today, they didn't say they wanted to play with us, but just asked why we came back." Lin Yan looked at Su Jin dejectedly.

All the family members in the courtyard went to Yunfeng's courtyard. Su Jin didn't stay in the courtyard for long, and everyone was not close to Su Jin.

Yunfeng only said that she came back this time to be questioned, and did not say a word more.

Seeing that they could not get any information from the children, the family members just let them stay in the Lin family.

Lin Lei had long been impatient with his former friend, but he didn't show it on his face and just dealt with him.

At the Lu family's house, Lin Yan was helping Su Jin pick vegetables, muttering about his friends on the farm. They were all children of the Excalibur team members who followed the army. In front of these children, Lin Lei and Lin Yan were just playmates.

"Xiao Yan, today is the first day I'm back, and you're not happy about it. What are you going to do for the next two days?" Su Jin remembered that Lu Shiyi mentioned coming back for three days. "You can't hide in my house every day. Those people won't get any information from my sister-in-law, so they will definitely come to my place tomorrow."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "Aunt Jin, isn't it better to be like the aunt on the farm? Why do you have to ask such questions?"

Su Jin couldn't explain too much to Lin Yan. Many of the military wives in the family compound were gathering information for their husbands, and then using this information to gain support from their superiors.

Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao returned to the family compound, and within two hours, the Yan family in the capital received a call.

Near noon, Sister Yunfeng called Lin Yan to go home with a tired look on her face.

"Sister-in-law, I've prepared the food. Come to my house for lunch?" Su Jin looked at Yun Feng and said, "My house will probably be bustling this afternoon."

Yun Feng immediately refused and said, "I'll do as Lao Lin said. I'll take Lin Lei and Lin Yan to the cafeteria for lunch. There will be fewer people following them, and Hanhan still needs a nap."

When Su Jin heard Yun Feng mention that it was Lin Zitao who gave the order, she had no choice but to let Lin Yan go home first and agreed to come over for snacks in the afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, just give me boiled water this afternoon. Those people have been gossiping about you a lot." Yun Feng didn't want to talk to the family members anymore. These people were too talkative.

Su Jin nodded, went home to prepare lunch, and waited for Lu Shiyi to come back for lunch.

When Yunfeng, her mother and son entered the cafeteria, many familiar family members came up to greet them and praised Yunfeng for her good complexion.

"Sister Yunfeng, I heard that Sister Lu is back too. Why didn't she come?" The young military wife took advantage of her familiarity to gossip about Su Jin.

"Whose child is under one year old and the mother comes out to eat?" Yun Feng was puzzled. "It's a custom that all the mothers here know."

"Sister-in-law, please don't blame Guiying. She's been with the army for three years, and there's still no news." A sister-in-law who was about the same age as Yunfeng replied, "The wives of the Lu army don't come to the family compound very often. We're not familiar with her, so no one would bother her rashly."

Everyone knows that Lu Shiyi is the most protective of his wife. If anyone dares to disrespect Su Jin, Lu Shiyi will be angry.

"Hanhan needs a nap. If you want to visit him, please go after 3pm!" Yunfeng reminded them. "Also, don't keep asking about the farm when you go there. It's strictly forbidden there."

When the sisters-in-law heard what Sister Yunfeng said, they felt a pang in their hearts, fearing that they would be targeted by Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao.

Yunfeng brought the two brothers to the food window, and the chef greeted the mother and her two children happily.

Guiying was embarrassed. She and Su Jin had been in the army for almost the same period of time. Su Jin still had to go to work on weekdays. Now they had a son, and her husband often compared the two of them.

Su Jin is a junior high school teacher, but Guiying is a woman who has not even graduated from elementary school. Guiying can only take care of the family. The head team member's family has a heavy burden, and the family's life is tight.

"Guiying, why don't you find a job outside? You've only graduated from the third grade of elementary school, so you should be able to find a job at the supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound." Yunfeng saw that Guiying looked unhappy, "I remember when you first came to join the army, you looked much better. Now that the situation outside is difficult, if you have a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, your life will be more comfortable."
