Whenever Jiang Sen returned home in broad daylight, someone would always see him.
There are no secrets in the family compound, and Jiang Sen is not the only one who went to repair the dam. There was a man who had been working on the embankment for dozens of days without going home. When he heard that Jiang Sen had returned, he went to Jiang's house to inquire.
Only then did Wu Meili realize that her husband had returned home, but had not entered the house.
"This is strange. How did you guess that Captain Jiang went to her place?"
Zhang Cuilian, Qiao Baozhu and Ji Hehua all came to help Wu Meili solve the problem. Although Wu Meili was angry that they knew about the incident but did not report it, she could also understand them in her heart.
"I know you kept it a secret from me, it must be for the good of our family. After all, our whole family depends on that ungrateful Jiang Sen for support."
"I'm not smart enough to understand the twists and turns at work. I don't understand work, but I'm no worse than you at the ways of life."
Wu Meili mentioned that Jiang Sen often brought back some finished cloth shoe soles, saying that they were made by other family members in the compound. He asked her to take it to Qiao Baozhu to exchange for money, and also told her that if Qiao Baozhu asked, she should say that Wu Meili did it herself.
"I didn't think much of it until Baozhu asked me that time. After I got home, I felt very nervous and I always felt that something was wrong."
Ever since Jiang Sen went to repair the dam, none of his former "family members" have come to give him shoe soles. Wu Meili thought that everyone knew that the mutual aid society was collecting shoe soles and gave them directly to Qiao Baozhu.
Wu Meili had already put her doubts aside, but Aunt Bai bumped into her.
"Bai Hongmei's mother always asks me when Jiang Sen will be home every time she sees me in the courtyard. Once or twice is a coincidence, but five, seven, or eight times can it still be a coincidence?"
Wu Meili was indignant and looked at Qiao Baozhu with sarcasm on her face.
"I just figured it out. The family member Lao Jiang was talking about is Bai Hongmei. Bai Hongmei was lying at home to protect the fetus, but she didn't stop. She asked her mother to go out and collect the soles and sell them to you."
"They were afraid you wouldn't accept it, so they asked my old bitch to be the good guy. This shameless old thing, bah, I shudder when I hear her scolding."
"Sister Baozhu, have you telegraphed Captain Shen about this? I don't mind how the organization handles me. Just talk to Captain Shen and tell him not to affect my children. I'm willing to be shot."
When Qiao Baozhu saw Wu Meili mention Shen Xiao, she shook her head weakly.
"The training in the capital is closed. I don't know where he is or how to contact him. If I want to contact him, I guess only Instructor Duan can help."
After the spy was caught, no one except the Corps made any statement, while Qiao Baozhu, Qiao Changhai and others all benefited from it.
Originally, Qiao Baozhu was still brooding over the fact that Shen Xiao had not been able to make any contribution, but unexpectedly, a transfer order came down from above, saying that a training class in the capital had taken a fancy to Shen Xiao and transferred him there for training.
The transfer order came down very urgently, and Shen Xiao left within a few hours of receiving the notice.
What is the significance of being able to go to the capital for training? Only those who understand will understand.
Qiao Baozhu heard that the regiment was in chaos right after Shen Xiao left. Several battalion commanders, instructors, company commanders, and political commissars all ran to the regiment headquarters to inquire about the news.
There were those with bad tempers who shouted at Shen Xiao to take the back door on the spot.
"Shen Xiao is going to training, and Deputy Battalion Commander Guan is now the acting battalion commander. He will be in charge of Captain Jiang's affairs, and the several cadres who used to work with Captain Jiang cannot participate in this case."
When Wu Meili heard that Shen Xiao couldn't take care of her affairs, she immediately panicked.
Although Shen Xiao is young, in Wu Meili's eyes, he is no different from his elders. The leader is the parent. When something happens to the child, he will definitely look for the parents.
"Sister Zhang, please ask Instructor Duan to contact Captain Shen. If Captain Shen knew that something happened to my old Jiang, he would definitely not ignore it."
Zhang Cuilian looked at Qiao Baozhu, hesitant and undecided about what to say.
"Sister Zhang, we are so close, just tell me what you want to say. I can handle it. Some things have already happened, so it's better to know them earlier so that we can prepare earlier."
Qiao Baozhu looked at Zhang Cuilian who wanted to say something but didn't dare to, and she felt anxious and uneasy.
"Baozhu, have you heard about it at the site too? Who was so careless that the news got out so quickly?"
Zhang Cuilian heard something behind Qiao Baozhu's words and thought she had heard the news. She felt annoyed when she thought about her husband telling her that this was a secret and not to be told to anyone else. The news came out from the Corps, and no one knew what it would become. When Old Duan finds out, he will blame her for not keeping her mouth shut.
"What's going on? What are you guys talking about?"
Wu Meili was confused by what she heard, and Ji Hehua was also anxious, urging the two to explain themselves quickly.
"I don't know what to say."
Zhang Cuilian didn't dare look at Qiao Baozhu, she lowered her head and said sullenly: "Old Duan said that Captain Shen went to the capital for training, and he will be promoted after he comes back."
"Someone in the Corps was jealous of Captain Shen and wrote a letter of denunciation. He said that Captain Shen and Sister Baozhu were living together illegally."
Qiao Baozhu thought she had heard wrongly.
"What happened between me and Shen Xiao?"
Zhang Cuilian sighed, "They said that you two were living together illegally, and that Captain Shen violated the rules by marrying you."
