At the end of March, Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao led their team members to patrol various places in the courtyard and sealed up many cellars. The children were also confined at home by their parents.
In addition to attending classes two days a week, Su Jin tutors Lin Lei and Lin Yan at home, or makes clothes and diapers for the baby in her belly.
Sun Shun went to the school to handle the leave of absence procedures for Maotou and Maosun. Maosun would also have to stay in the hospital for a few months and would not be able to attend classes normally.
"Aunt Jin, when will Mao Sun be back?" Lin Yan had done his homework and asked Su Jin curiously, "My classmates are all asking about his condition. There has been no news since he went to the hospital last time."
Lin Lei glared at his brother. Maotou and Maosun had been in the hospital for half a month. Even their families had complaints about the nearby villages. Some people would rather walk several miles to other villages than exchange food in their village.
"They are recovering from their injuries. You are not allowed to go out with outsiders when you return home from school, even if I ask you to." Su Jin looked at the two children and said, "Your parents must have sent you here, or your parents agree that you can go out with outsiders."
Lin Lei and Lin Yan nodded in agreement: "Mom and Dad also said that Mom personally sent us here today."
The children in the family compound were re-educated at home. After interrogation, Captain One confessed to the crime and wanted to teach Wu Yinghua a lesson. Maotou protected his younger brother and let Maosun escape for help. Captain One and Captain Four saw Maosun escape, so Captain One immediately chased him out and beat him up when he was caught.
In the past two days, the entrance of the family compound has been very busy. Villagers from the two brigades came to apologize, and some even came with things to exchange items with the family members.
The family members also became tough. They were not attracted by the villagers' concessions.
Su Jin heard the shouts of the little soldier outside, and stood up to leave the house. When he reached the door, he turned and looked at the two brothers.
"I have to go out for something. You two should stay home and do your homework. Don't run around." Su Jin instructed Lin Lei and Lin Yan. "Also, after Xiaolei finishes his homework, listen to Xiaoyan recite the text."
Su Jin specifically went to see teacher Lin Yan to ask about his learning situation. Lin Yan didn't like to memorize the text, and he stuttered every time he recited during the spot check.
As soon as the sentry finished his guard duty, he was sent by the squad leader to invite Su Jin. More and more villagers from the two brigades blocked the entrance to the family compound. The patrol team drove away the villagers, and they just waited not far away. They only needed the team members to leave, and then they would come carrying things.
"Sister-in-law, this really delays things. As soon as you leave the family compound, those people start shouting loudly." The sentry has been on guard since 8 o'clock, with a shift of 3 hours. He is so irritated that he is restless.
"Apart from the two teams, are there any other people involved?" Su Jin asked curiously.
"Sister-in-law, there shouldn't be any in other villages. I saw people from the two teams greeting each other." The sentry told Su Jin.
The sentry slowed down his pace and asked Su Jin to follow him to the door. Su Jin looked at his sisters-in-law who were blocked in the yard and unable to get out, and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Xiao Jin, why are you here?" Several sisters-in-law looked at Su Jin. They were just out shopping. "Don't come over to join in the fun. The two captains were arrested, and the team members were left unchecked. They came here to cause trouble and harassed many sentries."
Su Jin stood at the door of the armed forces department, looking at the stalls on both sides of the road. When the team members near the door saw her, they began to shout loudly about the things they were exchanging at their stalls.
"Our eggs are all fresh, there won't be any bad ones!" The fellow villager who was near the left side of the door saw Su Jin and immediately shouted.
Su Jin looked into the distance and found that many people had even blocked the stalls in the middle of the road. The military wives wanted to go out at around 8 o'clock this morning, but they were blocked by the stalls outside and had to come back.
"Xiao Jin, those two teams are hurting Maotou and Maosun. We can just walk a little further to buy them." Several sisters-in-law said, "We decided this together."
Su Jin turned and went to the message room. The squad leader was on duty, standing in front of the glass looking at the stall, thinking about how to solve the problem.
"Sergeant, call the police and the Pigeon Committee. We have to resolve this matter." Su Jin gave instructions while standing at the door. The military wives stood at the foot of the stone steps and agreed with Su Jin's words.
"I thought the team didn't call the committee, so I wanted to ask someone to file a complaint." Several sisters-in-law said helplessly.
"Sisters-in-law, I'm going to make a phone call now. You all go outside and don't get implicated." The squad leader didn't want the sisters to suffer any injustice.
After Su Jin left, several sisters-in-law gathered around her.
"Xiao Jin, you can't sympathize with these people. They came to set up stalls early in the morning and cursed Maotou and Maosun together, thinking that they had always been bad and that was why the families had to go far away.
Su Jin curled his lips into a sneer. In the face of interests, these honest farmers also began to open their eyes and speak threatening words.
"Both children are seriously injured. Doctor Yang mentioned that Maotou has woken up, and a full-body examination is needed." Su Jin looked at the others and said, "Maosun's internal organs are bleeding. He needs to be taken good care of for the next two years. Otherwise, such a young child will be injured."
The sisters-in-law grew even angrier after hearing this: "Looks like we need to help Yinghua get more things, at least so that the hairy bamboo shoots can have a better meal first."
Before the accident, Maotou and Maosun were in very good health. Many people said that the two brothers were born to be soldiers.
While Su Jin was chatting with her sisters-in-law, she was observing the situation outside. She heard voices begging for mercy from afar on the street and knew that the people from the Pigeon Committee had arrived.
Zeng Chan led the team over and couldn't help getting angry when he saw the scene of the stalls in front of him.
"Confiscate all the things and have everyone report to the Pigeon Committee." Zeng Chan rarely led people back, and the more than 20 people in front of him were a bit too much.
The stall owners were packing up their things and preparing to leave. The Pigeon Committee and the police station worked together to arrest people and had already blocked all the entrances.
"Please spare us!" Seeing they couldn't escape, the villagers immediately sat on the ground, saying, "We had no choice but to come here."
The villagers used this trick to deal with the soldiers and often acted like a spoiled child at the door. In order to avoid making the situation worse, the team members had to let it go.
The people from the Pigeon Committee and the police station didn't care about this. The team members took out ropes, tied their hands one by one, and led them back.
Su Jin looked at the actions of the Pigeon Committee and felt helpless. The villagers disrupted the order and the team members suffered a lot.
"They all deserve it. If we let them go this time, they will become even more violent in the future." The family members heard the news from the family compound and expressed their agreement with this solution.
"My sister-in-law is awesome!" Several family members looked at the sisters-in-law in front of them and cheered happily, "I've been home twice, and these troublesome people have finally left."
"Pack up your things and let's go out quickly. We still have a lot to buy." The leading sisters-in-law shouted.
