What answered the sisters-in-law's questions was not Jiang Nian's voice, but the loud slogans coming from the yard.
"Line up - stand at attention - at ease - stand at attention - salute!"
Xiao He led a squad of young soldiers and lined up in the small yard to salute.
Each of them stood straight and looked familiar.
The loud slogans frightened the sisters-in-law so much that they forgot about the gifts in the house and turned their eyes outside.
As the team leader, Xiao He stood at the front and strove after a round of salutes.
"I am guard He Jun, on behalf of the Southwest Military Region, thank the kind-hearted person Gu Xianhe for donating the supplies. The collection process has now begun."
Jiang Nian turned sideways and took a step back.
Not only did she retreat herself, she also pulled her stunned sisters-in-law to retreat with her.
"Sisters-in-law, please stop blocking the road and step back."
The sisters-in-law didn't even realize what was being posted. What kind of people were they? What about donating supplies? It was all so confusing.
Before I could figure it out, Xiao He had already brought his people into the house.
The light soldiers lined up and entered the house one after another.
Every soldier who came in took one or two gifts from the pile.
One or two... one or two... one or two...
Just like that, the gifts that were originally piled up like a mountain were gone in a short while.
The sisters-in-law were all dumbfounded. How come everything was taken away in the blink of an eye, just when it was delivered to Jiang Nian's room in the morning?
"Gone? Gone now? Are you sure it's all gone?" Jiang Nian showed a puzzled look, looking around, and said to his sister-in-law who was standing at the innermost, "Sister-in-law, help me take a look inside, in the room and in the kitchen, to see if there is anything left."
My sister-in-law acted in a daze. According to Jiang Nian's instructions, she looked around the room, the kitchen, and even the bathroom.
They saw clearly in the morning the gifts that Gu Jingmo sent, they were all packed in red gift boxes.
It’s not easy to hide such a conspicuous color and such a large box.
So if you take a quick look and see if there is anything, then it really is not there.
After looking around, the sister-in-law said to Jiang Nian, "Sister Nian, there is no other place."
Jiang Nian asked again uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, are you sure you saw it clearly? Is there really nothing in my house?"
My sister-in-law said, "I'm sure I saw it all clearly."
When Jiang Nian heard this answer, the corners of his mouth raised high and his smile became brighter.
"That's good, as long as nothing is left behind. These are the supplies that Mr. Gu donated to the military camp. He gave them to me first and asked me to pass them on. If there are a few items missing from my house, I can't explain it. Sisters-in-law, you have all seen clearly that I gave all these things to Xiao He. There is absolutely no one left in my house!"
When he said the last sentence, the smile on Jiang Nian's face disappeared, replaced by a deep and sharp voice.
After what happened the other day, everyone in the room was a witness to Jiang Nian. If the sisters-in-law still dared to gossip about her behind her back, saying that she had income from an elusive source, then they would drag everyone into the water.
When the sisters-in-law heard this, they finally understood.
They were used by Jiang Nianzhen!
It's too late to wake up.
They were already standing here, and Xiao He and the soldiers were blocking the exit, so they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
After Xiao He counted and accepted all the supplies, he saluted Jiang Nian again.
"Sister-in-law, this is a thank-you letter written by General He himself. Thank you Mr. Gu and Gu's Pharmacy for your continued support of the Southwest Military Region. Please pass it on to Mr. Gu."
"Okay, I will definitely deliver it to Gu Xianbei personally."
