Lin Rou temporarily settled Zhou Xiaoshu in Xixi's house. She had to rent a better house for them in the town. Shops were difficult to rent, but houses were.
Xu Yang and his wife were going back to wait for their sister on the big ship.
After the two of them got on the boat, he sailed back to the village.
After buying a lot of things, Lin Rou and her friend took their bikes back home. When they got home, they sorted out their things and boiled water for a bath.
It was 11 o'clock when they lay down in bed. Gu Cangnan turned off the lights and hugged his wife to sleep. When Lin Rou was about to fall asleep, she saw Song Yingxia's husband came home, and she immediately became energetic.
Song Yingxia sat up from the bed and asked dissatisfiedly, "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
Gao Huaijun laughed and said, "What's wrong with you? Why is your face bruised? Is there anyone in the village bullying you?"
She usually wouldn't question herself like this. She would only lose her temper when something happened. Gao Huaijun knew her too well.
Song Yingxia lowered her voice and said, "It's weird, you know? Xu Ying, who we sold that day, came back. As soon as she saw me, she said I stole her. How could she, a little kid, know that?"
Gao Huaijun's face darkened: "She guessed it, didn't she? You've been mean to her family, so she guessed it, right?"
"Maybe she guessed. How else would she know? She's doing so well now. She even married a regiment leader, goes fishing, bought a car, and built a house for Xu Zhen and his friends. She seems so powerful. She even stole my money and got Xu Zhen and his friends to beat me up."
Gao Huaijun's eyes darkened: "You hide from them. I've been in some trouble recently and can't help you for the time being. Let's keep a low profile."
"Is it nothing serious?" Song Yingxia became nervous.
"It's no big deal, just don't provoke them."
"All right."
Song Yingxia lay down again. She was used to listening to men, but she felt indignant in her heart.
"You go to sleep first. I'm going to the study. I have some things to take care of."
"good."
Song Yingxia was lost in her own thoughts and didn't care what the man was doing.
Lin Rou immediately asked Huang Weasel to go out and follow the man. Fortunately, Gao Huaijun went out and turned off the lights, so Huang Weasel was not seen by Song Yingxia when he went out again.
Gao Huaijun poured a glass of water in the hall, which gave the weasel time to follow him.
He opened a door and before anyone could enter, the weasel scurried in. The man didn't even turn on the lights in the hall, but drank the water by groping around like a night ranger.
He entered the study without turning on the lights. Suddenly, there was a sound of something opening and closing, and then a light came on somewhere. Lin Rou saw that it was a passage. The weasel followed the person in and rushed to the top of the passage.
Gao Huaijun didn't hear any sound, nor did he see the weasel. He closed the door of the dark room, then went down the stairs and came to a basement that was neither big nor small.
There are a lot of wooden boxes inside, a bookshelf with a lot of books on it, and a desk...
etc…
There is a telegraph machine on the desk...?
Oh my god! Could this be a spy? Lin Rou's heart tightened as she watched the man take out a piece of paper and start operating the telegraph machine.
Spy, spy! This discovery made Lin Rou tremble with fear. Didn't they say that all the spies in Ningcheng had been caught? How could there be another one?
