Seeing Su Yan like this, Lu Ting felt distressed. If this happened again in the future, he would never let her go to the cemetery in the middle of the night.
"Yan Yan, we won't go to the graves at midnight anymore. Have a good rest. I've asked for leave for you."
"Have you asked for leave for me? Thank you, go to work, I'll be fine after taking it easy."
Seeing that Lu Ting had asked for leave for her, Su Yan stopped being pretentious, got up, washed, had breakfast, and then lay back down on the bed.
As soon as she lay back on the bed, she began to dream. In the dream, all kinds of ghosts were chasing her. Su Yan slept from eight in the morning to twelve at noon without waking up.
At half past twelve, Lu Ting brought Lu Yiming home, but Su Yan hadn't gotten up yet. He pushed open the door and saw that Su Yan had her eyes closed and was sweating all over. He was really scared.
"Dad, what happened to Mom?"
As soon as she heard her son's voice, Su Yan woke up immediately and slowly got up from the bed.
"Mom, it's okay. I'll get up and cook for you!"
"Yan Yan, you continue to rest, and leave the cooking to me."
Lu Ting looked at Su Yan with a guilty look on his face. If he had known this would happen, he would not have brought his wife up the mountain yesterday.
After lunch, Lu Ting did not send Lu Yiming to the nursery, but asked him to accompany Su Yan.
Su Yan felt that her illness came strangely. She kept dreaming, whether during the day or at night. She wondered if she had been possessed by evil spirits.
As soon as Lu Ting went to work, she took her son Lu Yiming downstairs to bask in the sun. She didn't believe that those dirty things were not afraid of the sun.
At night, she deliberately did not enter the space to see if she would continue to have nightmares, and sure enough, she felt much better.
Because she was scared, she didn't go into the space to see the treasures for a week. She always felt that the mahogany boxes were tainted with some bad luck.
Another week passed. Su Yan came home from get off work and prepared dinner, but Lu Ting still hadn't come back. She felt like something big had happened.
So she took her son to Lu's house, but found that her father-in-law had not returned either. When she asked her mother-in-law, she learned that her father-in-law's subordinates had been reported.
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If it is not handled properly, it will implicate my father-in-law and everyone in the Lu family. Su Yan understands why Lu Ting did not go home.
She stayed at her husband's house waiting for news. Around nine o'clock, Lu Fengnian came back with Lu Ting, and they talked about something as they walked.
"Yan Yan, why are you here?"
"You haven't come back yet, I came to see you."
"I'm sorry to have worried you. Dad and I are fine. Okay, let's go back first!"
Hua Min asked with concern: "Have you two had dinner?"
Lu Ting bent down, picked up Lu Yiming, turned around and said to Hua Min, "We've eaten, Mom, let's go home. Dad, go to bed early!"
After returning home and coaxing her son to sleep, Su Yan asked Lu Ting, "What happened today?"
"Yan Yan, that bastard Huo Guosheng probably went up the mountain to bury treasures again. When he found that those treasures were missing, he started to act desperately."
"Does he suspect that your father dug those things up?"
"No, he's now suspicious of his son-in-law and the members of the Cutting Tail Society."
"So what does this have to do with your dad's men? Your mom said your dad's men are under investigation."
"Oh, you mean Uncle Zhang? I secretly reported him. I suspected he was in cahoots with the guy named Huo. I overheard them plotting to report my dad in the restroom, so I wrote a letter to report him."
"Report him for what?"
"He wanted to use the three antique rooster bowls to frame my dad, but before he could do anything, I reported him. The people from the house search office found the report and the rooster bowls in his drawer. My dad interrogated him, and he said he took all the responsibility and said it had nothing to do with Yu Huo.
My dad then lied to his superiors, saying that if anyone reported him again, it would definitely be the one surnamed Huo, and now the one surnamed Huo would be investigated.”
"I have a few of my men ambush in the Huo family's backyard at midnight every night. If they see any unusual behavior, they will wake up the neighbors."
"You want to make a big deal out of this?"
"It's already like this. I think this matter has become a big deal. Who will dare to protect him?"
As expected by Lu Ting, his brothers waited for half a month and finally caught Huo Guosheng and his family in the act.
Huo Guosheng's family was arrested and he was interrogated to see if he had any accomplices. As a result, one person accused another and a large number of problematic people were brought out.
Huo Guosheng caused public outrage. The angry young people in the military compound threw rotten vegetables and feces at his home. This incident was a huge uproar, lasting for almost a week. Even if the higher-ups wanted to protect him, they dared not come forward to protect him.
Huo Guosheng's family finally came to an end and the potential danger to the Lu family was gone. Lu Fengnian and Hua Min breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As their mood improved, they began to look for a new partner for Lu Jin.
The person was none other than Chen Yuhe, the second daughter of the new political commissar Chen Jizhong.
Chen Yuhe is getting married for the first time. Why would a newlywed girl fall in love with Lu Jin? Naturally, it is because of the Lu family's conditions and Lu Jin's own conditions.
Chen Yuhe only attended high school and had just been assigned to teach in an elementary school when unrest began. Fortunately, she resigned in time, otherwise she would have been among those put on the list.
Chen Jizhong was very troubled by the thought of his second daughter, who had no job and no partner. He had just moved here and wanted to make friends with Lu Fengnian, so they decided to arrange a marriage between the two families.
Just after dinner that day, Lu Yiming kept complaining about being hot, so Su Yan took out an ice watermelon from the space and cut it. Just after she cut half of the watermelon, Lu Fengnian came over with Hua Min.
Seeing his grandparents coming over, Lu Yiming picked up a piece of watermelon and walked in front of Lu Fengnian, "Grandpa, eat watermelon."
"Eat it yourself, and Grandpa will get it for himself."
Su Yan put down the fruit knife and said, "Dad, Mom, you're here, sit down and have a piece of watermelon!"
"Where's Lu Ting?" Lu Fengnian sat down on the sofa.
"Go down to fetch water."
Hua Min picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. "This watermelon has few seeds and is icy and sweet. Did it stay in the well for a day?"
"No, on the way back, I asked Lu Ting to fetch some well water and soaked the watermelon in it for two hours."
Lu Fengnian casually picked up a piece of watermelon from the table and sighed, "That year, Ting'er led the team to open up the wasteland and planted so many watermelons. The watermelons they grew were big and round. The next year, when someone else took over the management, the quality of the watermelons dropped a lot. The farm hasn't planted watermelons in the past few years."
Lu Ting walked into the house, put down the carrying pole, and saw his parents eating on the sofa. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"We came here to inform you that you should go home for lunch tomorrow?"
"Go back for lunch tomorrow. Whose birthday is it?"
"Political Commissar Chen will bring his family over for dinner tomorrow so you can recognize him."
Lu Ting was a little confused, "Dad, what do you mean?"
"We've found a date for your brother. She's the second daughter of the Chen family. Aside from not having a job, she's pretty good in terms of looks, character, and personality."
"Lu Jin agreed?"
"He didn't say yes or no. Let's let them meet first. If he agrees, we'll let them get married next month."
