It was already the end of 1975, and many things were being rectified, but the darkness before dawn was also the most terrifying.
A slight misstep could lead to disaster.
The Li family has simply walked right into the line of fire.
If he can't get rid of so many crimes, then he's not Gu Tingzhi; even Xu Honghua's entire lineage will be finished.
Recently, things have gotten a bit out of hand. After making a scene, Meng Fuyan has kept a low profile, staying at home every day and not going anywhere. She hasn't shown her face in public at all.
Gu Tingzhi has been very busy lately and hasn't been back for several days.
That day, Meng Fuyan was taking a nap at home when she suddenly heard some noise downstairs, which grew louder and louder, mixed with some crying and shouting. She was woken up and frowned impatiently.
Has another fight broken out?
Military personnel have high salaries, and most of the wives in the family compound don't work. When these people gather together and are idle, conflicts easily arise, and arguments and fights frequently occur.
She lives in a villa area, which is much less crowded. If it were an apartment building, the population density would be much higher, and there would be more conflicts.
She turned over and went back to sleep, but the crying outside grew louder and louder. She took a deep breath, got up, and went to check what was going on.
Standing on the second-floor balcony, he raised an eyebrow.
A large crowd had gathered in front of the door, including adults and children, creating a chaotic scene.
Over there, the Li family is moving. The women and children in the house are crying and shouting, refusing to leave. The old lady of the Li family is sitting on the ground, crying and cursing, pounding the ground as she does so, her cries heart-wrenching.
The open space to the side was filled with things that had been moved out of the Li family's house. They weren't moved by the Li family members; the soldiers came to clear them out.
Clothes, shoes, pots and pans, and some small pieces of furniture, such as stools and tables, were all brought out, creating a messy scene.
When Meng Fuyan saw this, she knew that this was not a move, but that they had been evicted by the army. The Li family members did not want to leave, and the army must have come to forcibly clear the house.
The houses in this area were all of similar size and had similar original furnishings. Meng Fuyan could tell that none of the original furniture had been moved out; what had been moved out were all the personal belongings of the Li family members.
They got kicked out!
It seems that Brigade Commander Li's matter has been settled.
People downstairs were talking amongst themselves, some glancing at Meng Fuyan as they spoke. Meng Fuyan hadn't opened the window and was standing behind the curtains. The sunlight was perfect, and the glass was reflecting light. Because she was far enough away, the people downstairs couldn't see her.
Every now and then, people would glance at her, then at the Li family, pointing and whispering.
Sister-in-law Li and her mother-in-law started crying and shouting, pointing in the direction of her house and cursing. Meng Fuyan snorted coldly, not caring at all. She washed her face to clear her mind and went to the living room to watch TV.
With the Li family's situation resolved, Gu Tingzhi's case should be settled, and the matter with Xu Honghua and the others should also be over.
The noise outside lasted for more than an hour before gradually quieting down. The onlookers dispersed, and the area returned to its former tranquility.
Meng Fuyan watched TV for a while, then got bored. She went back to her room and got some fabric to make some clothes for Gu Tingzhi.
Most of their clothes are from when they were abroad; they don't have many clothes in the domestic style, and some of them are several years old and have been sitting in their online spaces.
Now that people are back, they should gradually add some things.
Suddenly, she realized that she hadn't made any clothes for her father yet. On a whim, she went straight to her parents' house, where there was a telephone, and called her mother's office directly.
"mom!"
Meng Suqin, who was at work, was somewhat surprised to receive a call from her daughter. "Why are you calling me at this hour? What's up?"
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "Hehe, it's nothing. I was organizing fabrics at home when I suddenly remembered that I haven't made any clothes for my dad yet, so I thought I'd make him a shirt. Anyway, I'm just sitting at home doing nothing. It's getting cold, so he should wear more clothes. Tell me Dad's size!"
Meng Suqin's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Oh, you're going to make clothes for your dad by hand! He'll be overjoyed if he knew!"
Meng Fuyan said shyly, "Oh dear, it was my fault before. I remembered to buy gifts, but I forgot to make something by hand. I'll make up for it now, so Dad won't be angry with me."
"He wouldn't be angry with you. Go home. Your dad's measurements are in a notebook in my study. It's in the left drawer of my desk. There's a gray notebook there, and it's on the first page."
Meng Fuyan raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on her face. "Mom, don't you remember Dad's size? Have you forgotten, or have you never made clothes for Dad before?"
Meng Suqin: "..."
Touching her nose, Meng Suqin said a little embarrassedly, "We did it when we got married, does that count?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
She burst out laughing; her mother was indeed different.
"Poor Dad! I remember someone telling me they wanted to make sure the house was filled with traces of you?"
Meng Suqin laughed and scolded, "I told you, haven't I done it all these years? I buy all your dad's clothes, what's the problem?"
Meng Fuyan laughed heartily, "No problem, no problem. Dad is so lucky to have such a virtuous wife like Mom who buys him new clothes and is so good at making money. Everyone must be so envious of Dad."
"that is!"
Meng Suqin's voice came through the phone, a mixture of sullenness and smugness on her face.
Meng Fuyan said, "Then let's stop talking. I'm going to your study."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Fuyan went to Meng Suqin's study and found the small notebook with Lu Guozhong's measurements on it.
