Lu Xingye led him over and took the luggage from Meng Fuyan's hands.
"Yan Yan!"
"Brother, it's been a long time!"
Lu Xingye smiled and said, "It has indeed been a long time. It's good that you're back safely. Judging from your appearance, you didn't suffer much in the countryside, did you? When I heard the news, I was almost furious. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the countryside. Fortunately, you're back."
"Spend the New Year at home. Now that the Wu and Zhang families are both in trouble, no one will bother you. Just stay in the city for a while and go back to work in the factory when it's time to go to the countryside."
There is a minimum time limit for their rural assignments. Even if their families have connections to find them work, they can only officially return after at least six months.
Meng Fuyan had only been in the countryside for less than four months, and it was not yet time for her to return.
However, the winter in Northeast China is too long, and there is no farm work at this time. There is enough time to go back to the hometown to visit relatives. After two months, Meng Fuyan will find a job and can stay there.
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Yes, there's not much work to do in the Northeast right now, so I'll stay home for a while longer this time."
The three walked back while talking, and Lu Xingye told her about the recent situation in Changning City.
"The Yuan family's situation has escalated significantly and they're completely finished. By the way, have you seen Yuan Yi? He's probably been sent to an even tougher farm."
Meng Fuyan shook her head. "I didn't see him. I passed by Banqiao Brigade, packed my luggage at home, and then caught the train. The educated youth settlement in Banqiao Brigade was quite chaotic, and I didn't have much contact with those people. I didn't see Yuan Yi."
Lu Xingye laughed and said, "It doesn't matter whether you see it or not. This person probably won't be coming back, so there's no need to pay attention to him."
"As for the Wu and Zhang families, they've all suffered too. Wu Guozhu and Wu Guodong have both been investigated. In fact, everyone from both families has been investigated, but Wu Guozhu and Wu Guodong's situation is more serious, since they hold the highest positions."
"Both of these businesses are not clean. The investigation is not over yet. They have all been locked up. Those with problems will be dealt with according to the law, and the rest will most likely be sent to farms for reform."
Gu Tingzhi acted incredibly fast. She set off from his place four days ago, spent a day getting to the Banqiao Brigade, and then three days returning to Changning City. In that short time, both the Wu and Zhang families were dealt with.
He had taken care of everything in Changning City before she even got off the train. Now that he's back, those people won't even have a chance to get close to her.
"Will their younger relatives who have just come of age also be taken away?" Meng Fuyan asked.
Lu Xingye knew what she meant and nodded, saying, "Enemy agents and embezzlers are things that can't be easily shaken off. Fortunately, you are the victim this time. Moreover, Wu Guozhu was probably plotting against your family back then. He was targeting your family. I don't know the specifics of the matter, but Dad probably knows more than I do. You can go and ask him."
"In short, apart from you and Yunji, the rest will be implicated. Those who are seriously involved will be executed, and the rest, even if they don't go to jail, will be sent away for reform."
"What about Zhang Guifang's triplets?" Judging from Lu Xingye's tone, Meng Fuyan knew that Wu Guozhu and Wu Guodong's crimes had probably been uncovered. Once those crimes were discovered, they would basically be dead.
What about Zhang Guifang's triplets? That's more important.
"I haven't heard of that. If she's going to the farm, of course it's her responsibility as a mother. Besides, she has so many relatives. The other children in the Wu family won't die. They should go with her. With so many people, surely they can support a few children?"
Meng Fuyan understood. "That's good. Big brother, please help me find someone to keep an eye on Zhang Guifang. Make sure she doesn't have a chance to run away alone, especially those three children. I'm worried that Zhang Guifang might do something desperate and try to leave the three children with me before she leaves. I'm still their older sister in name. If Zhang Guifang leaves but abandons the three children, I'll be disgusted to death."
“Those who supported Wu Guozhu before should all be in trouble, but not all of them should be driven away. This matter started because of me, and it’s hard to guarantee that those people won’t deliberately help Zhang Guifang keep those three children to annoy me because they resent me.”
Lu Xingye felt disgusted just thinking about it. "They wouldn't dare. If they dared to do something like that, my dad would definitely kill them."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll definitely have someone keep an eye on them, so it won't affect you."
"Yes, thank you, brother!"
Why are you being so polite with me?
As she returned home, seeing the familiar house from her memories, Meng Fuyan felt somewhat dazed.
This is where she grew up. After her mother passed away, the place was occupied by others, and she and her brother lived a very restricted life.
Having been reborn for only a few months, although he still went to the countryside once, he completely resolved the issues between the Wu and Zhang families.
Well, the efficiency is pretty good.
The front door opened, and the house was very clean, obviously having been cleaned before, with all the belongings moved out. The large house felt somewhat empty.
Lu Xingye put down his luggage and said to Meng Fuyan, "My dad made all the people who used to live here move out. Before they left, they cleaned the house, so it's quite clean now, but it feels a bit empty."
"Your rooms upstairs haven't been touched. Is the furniture still there? Should we go and get some new furniture?"
Meng Fuyan shook her head. "I can handle these things myself. Now that I'm finally free, all those people who were an eyesore in the family are gone. I want to arrange things myself. From now on, this will be my and Yunji's home."
Lu Xingye didn't catch the ambiguity in her words and nodded, "Okay, if you need any help, just call me."
