"Speaking of my elders, you should first introduce who you are. I have never seen you before, and you come up and talk loudly!" Su Jin said truthfully.
The quarrel among several people quickly attracted many military wives. When they heard the sharp voices of the four old ladies, they all stood up to speak for Su Jin.
"Teacher Su is right. Hanhan is so young. His ears are very sensitive to the outside world. You are going too far!" Several young wives joined in. They were of the same age as Su Jin and had young children at home.
"Judging from your age, you should have grandchildren at home. Why are you yelling like this in front of them?" The family members in the crowd complained.
Every time they came to find Du Ruo, they would run rampant in the yard. Du Ruo had told them several times, but they still did as they pleased. Since their children lived in the east district, Du Ruo could not stop them from entering the family compound.
"Going to the Lu family again? You made Hanhan cry, and you still want to go? How can Grandma Lu not cause trouble for you?" Sister Wang said cheerfully, "The last time you came here, you knocked my Lele down and injured him. My mother-in-law wanted you to apologize, but you said the Wang family was deliberately causing trouble."
Mrs. Wang felt so distressed when she thought about how her son was frightened after the injury and had a fever for several days.
The four of them always said that they had a good relationship with Du Ruo. Du Ruo rejected them several times in public, but the four of them seemed to not understand what they were saying and would always come to her house once in a while.
"Teacher Su, please take Hanhan back quickly. It's a bit cold today. Don't let the child get sick." After scolding her husband, Mrs. Wang turned around and said with a gentle expression, "We will help you prove it. Go back and call the duty room and tell them who is here."
"The South District is basically where the leaders live, and there are special people to handle disputes." The family members were happy to introduce the situation in the hospital to Su Jin. "As long as there is someone testifying, the duty room will handle it."
When Du Ruo heard someone coming to her house to call her and saying that four people were making things difficult for Su Jin and Hanhan, she immediately came out of the house.
She walked in from outside the crowd and saw the four people confronting Su Jin. Her face immediately darkened.
"Grandma, why are you here?" Su Jin saw Du Ruo appear and immediately called her.
"Is Hanhan okay?" Du Ruo glanced at Hanhan who was still sleeping soundly, and her heart was relieved.
Su Jin stood beside Du Ruo, waiting for Du Ruo to attack him.
"Why are you blocking Xiaojin and Hanhan at home? I've already told you not to come anymore. There are no boys of the right age at home to go on blind dates with the girls from your families." Du Ruo looked down on the girls from these families.
The four of them have been talking about blind dates since Lu Shiyi was 22 years old. Du Ruo refused several times, but they seemed to be deaf.
"Old Du, we five have been friends for many years, please don't say anything nonsense." The old woman in the lead looked at Du Ruo and questioned, "There are unmarried girls in the family, and now they also want to see people. You are slandering the reputation of girls."
"That's right. If the child can't get married, I will definitely ask you for help." said the woman on the left.
"Cao Xiu, you guys don't understand. Your eldest son is the political commissar, and he must have investigated Xiao Jin's family affairs in private. If there was even the slightest flaw in Xiao Jin's family, I believe your son wouldn't have just let Xiao Jin go."
After Du Ruo finished speaking, many people looked at Cao Xiu warily. Cao Xiu's eldest son, Cao Jiang, was the deputy director of the political department of the compound. The investigation of the family members had gone through his hands. After hearing what Du Ruo said, they all became scared, feeling that he knew the situation of each family clearly.
"Cao Xiu, Cao Jiang wouldn't really do that, would he?" The old ladies in the courtyard were all shocked. There were good and bad daughters-in-law in the family, and for the sake of face, no one told anyone.
If Cao Jiang investigates thoroughly, it will be difficult to resolve the situation in the future.
"No!" Cao Xiu immediately spoke up for her son. "Don't listen to Du Ruo's nonsense. My son is investigating according to the company's regulations. He would never say such things at home. Don't talk nonsense."
"Who knows if what you said is true? You four are the ones who talk about the most gossips in the courtyard, and what you say is always true." The neighbors of the Cao family did not believe what Cao Xiu said. They all knew that the gossip Cao Xiu said was true.
If Cao Jiang hadn't been nagging at home, how would Cao Xiu have known about it?
"According to what you said, Lu Shiyi is also a suspect. He is in charge of the farm, and all people entering the farm must be investigated thoroughly." Cao Xiu wanted to drag the Lu family into the water.
"Haha, don't tell me, the Lu family wouldn't do such a thing. Old Du isn't a gossipmonger. A lot of her news came from me and Sister Liu." Sister Wang's mother-in-law retorted, "Our three families are the closest to each other, how could we not know each other's situation?"
Old Lady Wang's endorsement made the family members completely relieved. No one could guarantee that their family would not be plotted against. If they could get along well with Lu Shiyi, they would leave a way out for their family.
"Xiao Jin, take Hanhan back to sleep first. The weather outside is too cold." Du Ruo looked down at the stroller and asked the mother and son to go home.
Mrs. Wang came to Su Jin's side and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lu. I will go back with Teacher Su. The children at home are about to finish school, and I have to hurry back to help them with their homework."
Several sisters-in-law left the crowd and went home to look after their children.
Mrs. Wang and Su Jin walked at the back. Su Jin found that Mrs. Wang lived in the residential building two rows in front of their house.
"Teacher Su, you should go back soon. If you meet an unreasonable old lady in the yard, just confront her directly." The family members in the south district stayed away and no one dared to mess with them.
Many old ladies who came with them to the compound not only took care of their own wives, but also wanted to take charge of other people's affairs.
