Chapter 8: Reported (2/2)



When Lu Zhoushan saw this, he thought there was no room for refusal, so he simply shut up and said nothing more.

The Lu family was discussing Lu Zhoushan's marriage enthusiastically, and the Jiang family was also busy.

The family moved all their belongings into the space, simplified their home and decorated it a bit.

All valuable and eye-catching things were put into the space.

Mother Jiang also put away the things that were a bit ostentatious.

An enameled pot with the words "Labor is the Most Glorious" was placed on a conspicuous table, and a patched coarse cloth quilt was spread on the bed, making it look very simple.

It took two full days to clean up and arrange everything.

The Jiang family stayed at home for the past two days and just made some noodles for their meals.

Afterwards, the family of three sat together to discuss the next strategy.

Jiang Xiaoci said, "Mom and Dad, we should be frugal with our living expenses during this period and not be too ostentatious and cause gossip."

Jiang's father and mother all nodded. Father Jiang also had some concerns, so he said, "There's always a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there's always a thief who can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. To be on the safe side, we still have to make some preparations."

Jiang Xiaoci was puzzled: "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Ci, if your dream is true, then according to the instructions given in the dream, someone will spread the word to us. Our family will know the news in advance and arrange a marriage for you. Instead of waiting passively, why not arrange a blind date for you now?"

Mother Jiang also said, "Xiao Ci, your father is right. Even if we make some preparations in advance, we should always be prepared for the worst. We should find a family for you as soon as possible. If we really have to be sent down, it will be your father and I who will go, and you can still stay."

Father Jiang added, "That's right, Xiaoci. Men and women should get married when they're old enough. You'll have to get married sooner or later anyway, so it's better to arrange it as soon as possible. But you can't marry that Lu Yaozu. Even if the love in your dream isn't real, this guy is fickle and isn't someone you can trust with!"

Having said that, Jiang Xiaoci had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Besides, as long as she didn't marry Lu Yaozu, she wouldn't repeat the fate of her previous husband.

This time, she will open her eyes and find a good man to marry.

At least it wouldn't be like in her previous life, when something unexpected happened in her family and she was caught off guard, so she chose the wrong person and married the villain Lu Yaozu.

In this life, she and her father will never make the same mistake again.

After all, most of the things in the house are now in my mother's space bracelet.

If my parents were really sent down to the countryside, life wouldn't be too bad. However, I still need to plan ahead and make more thorough arrangements for everything.

After all, her parents are already a few years older, so she is still a little worried.

Jiang Xiaoci thought for a moment and suggested, "Dad, Mom, no matter how we get married, we have to think carefully about what to do if we're laid off. Our living conditions will definitely be very difficult. We'd better buy some medicine in case of emergency."

Father Jiang immediately praised: "This is a good idea. Your mother and I are older now. If we have a headache, fever, or injury, it will be much more convenient to have medicine with us."

Mother Jiang also said, "Yes, our daughter is more thoughtful. This medicine is different from other medicines. If we keep it at home, it won't go bad for a while. Even if we don't go to the countryside, it's good to have some at home."

Finally, Father Jiang made the decision: "Okay, let's make this a deal. It's getting late, so let's all go out tomorrow and buy medicine separately. Be careful to keep a low profile and don't let anyone see that we're not doing anything wrong."

Jiang Xiaoci and his mother looked at each other and smiled, "Dad, don't worry, we know what's going on."

The next day, the family of three went to buy medicine separately.

Mother Jiang came to Ren Tang and hurried into the store.

The pharmacist raised his head and looked at her with suspicion.

Mother Jiang said calmly, "Master, I have a patient at home who has rheumatic back and leg pain and can't come out. Could you please prescribe some medicine for him?"

The pharmacist carefully asked about the symptoms and prescribed medicine.

The dosage was very small, but it was rare to get medicine. Mother Jiang was very happy to take the medicine.

Father Jiang went to the Chuntang and used the same excuse, but he said it was not a serious illness and prescribed medicine for the family.

Jiang Xiaoci went to a small medicine shop at the corner of the alley. He also said that there was a patient at home and it was inconvenient for him to come out. He just told the symptoms and bought some medicine.

After the family of three returned home, they planned to go to different pharmacies to buy medicine every few days.

In this way, small amounts will add up to a lot, and you can feel at ease by having more in reserve.

After Lu Yaozu wrote a letter of complaint and submitted it to the organization, due to the sensitive content of the letter, which involved the most severe crackdown on capitalist socialist style issues at the moment, the organization decided to immediately start an investigation into Jiang Decai's family.

Fortunately, there was someone in the organization who had a good relationship with Jiang's father, and he was shocked when he heard the news.

The man's name was Zhao Yong. He was an old acquaintance of Jiang's father and knew very well that the Jiang family was kind and honest. It was impossible for them to be like what was said in the report.

But since the investigation team had spoken, it was not easy for him to say anything at such a sensitive time, so Zhao Yong planned to notify Jiang Decai in advance.

Jiang Xiaoci and her father were completely unaware of all this. Although she had known that this would happen sooner or later, she had not expected Lu Yaozu to act so quickly.

Early that morning, Zhao Yong went to Jiang's house privately, intending to talk about this matter with Jiang's father.

Father Jiang was still puzzled. After welcoming the man into the house, he asked, "Old Zhao, what's the urgent matter that brings you here so early in the morning?"

Zhao Yong was anxious and got straight to the point: "Old Jiang, someone has reported your family. Someone will be here to investigate soon. You better be prepared."

When Mr. Jiang heard the news, his heart sank.

The truth turned out to be just as my daughter said, just like in the dream!
