Zhao Qinglan probably overslept because she had been drinking.
Fortunately, before Li Huai left, she had already told the children not to disturb her.
For breakfast, the three children made do with some canned snacks that were stored at home.
There weren't many delicious options available, so Zhao Qinglan tried to buy as much as she could whenever she had extra money.
They have plenty of things like cookies, snacks, canned goods, and malted milk powder.
With so many snacks at home, the kids aren't so greedy anymore.
Wu Mei and Wei Hong are in much better condition than her.
As soon as she woke up, Zhao Qinglan remembered some of the things she had said last night and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
She just hopes that Wei Hong and the others won't take it too seriously.
However, she would be quite happy if Wei Hongzhen studied hard because of her encouragement.
She has no grand ambitions to change the world; she only hopes that her family and friends can live better lives.
Next door, Battalion Commander Qu got a divorce yesterday, and his mother and Zheng Xiufen, a guest at his home, were all very happy.
Grandma Qu even told her son to take Zheng Xiufen to get their marriage certificate immediately, so that her tactless ex-daughter-in-law would be properly appraised.
Fortunately, Battalion Commander Qu hadn't lost his mind. He felt that if he got married to Zheng Xiufen right after his divorce, the people in the troupe would have a bad impression of him.
After all, Zheng Xiufen had just been brought here by his mother, and he and Wei Hong left so quickly; anyone would have thought too much about that.
It was clearly Wei Hong who wanted a divorce first, but he didn't expect that in the end, everyone would blame him. His situation in the troupe was already a bit difficult.
Not long after Li Huai arrived at his office, he received a call from his friend Zhang Yu.
"Li Huai, there's been progress!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huai perked up.
Zhang Yu still had work to do, and he couldn't let too many people know about his secret investigation of Yu Huimin. So the investigation took several days.
Yu Huimin was first discovered by her husband to have some of her little tricks, and then "threatened" by Li Huai, which made her behave herself for quite some time.
Daring not to make any further moves towards Li Huai, she, who couldn't stay still, intensified her former "madam" behavior after a period of quiet.
It was her husband's scolding that made her feel insecure. She felt that she needed to save more money on her own to feel more secure.
This conveniently provided Zhang Yu with an opportunity for investigation.
Zhang Yu is a native of the Jingcheng compound.
In addition, he had a good personality and knew how to get along with people, so he knew a number of people from all walks of life in the capital.
Actually, Li Huairen knew some people when he was still in the capital, but he had been away for quite a while, so his friend Zhang Yu had to help with the investigation.
Fortunately, the two had a strong relationship and didn't care about such things.
Zhang Yu didn't go into too much detail over the phone, but Li Huai smiled after listening.
Greed is a dangerous thing. In fact, if Yu Huimin had just been content with being Mrs. Li, she would have lived a more comfortable life than countless other women. Unfortunately, she was never satisfied.
But was Li Zhenhua really completely unaware of what Yu Huimin did?
Li Huai guessed correctly; Li Zhenhua was not completely unaware.
After all, he would occasionally find his wife doing favors for others.
However, Yu Huimin always brushed it off lightly, so Li Zhenhua didn't take it seriously.
In reality, he didn't take his wife seriously, thinking that she was just a woman and couldn't possibly accomplish anything significant.
Little do people know that many promising individuals have had their lives ruined by unreliable partners.
Since he had already made up his mind, Li Huai had no regrets once he found out the truth.
All he's thinking about now is how to expose this matter while minimizing the impact on himself.
It's easy to talk about putting righteousness before family, but if you actually do it and do it the wrong way, it will still draw criticism from many people.
After all, if you can treat your own family like this, aren't other people afraid of you?
Over the phone, Li Huai also made an appointment with Zhang Yu to meet him in Beijing some time later.
Some things still need to be discussed face-to-face.
At noon, Zhao Qinglan made a big pot of shredded radish and sour soup, which also contained a lot of dough pieces. It was both refreshing and warming.
During dinner, she brought it up, saying that once they had a break this week, the whole family would go to the city together.
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, she wanted to buy some things for her family, including clothes and shoes for the children.
They also provided everything they needed.
The three children were excited when they heard that they were going to buy new clothes for the New Year.
However, Li Huai did not speak immediately after hearing this.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Qinglan, I might have to go to the capital. Why don't we go together as a family? You can buy whatever you need there; the capital has everything."
"Go to the capital? Why?" Zhao Qinglan asked, puzzled.
Didn't they already refuse their father-in-law's invitation? Besides, after all that commotion, how could they possibly go back?
"We'll talk about it in detail later." In front of the children, Li Huai couldn't directly say that he wanted to go back and put aside his own family for the greater good.
His sudden decision to go to the capital must have some reason, but seeing that he wasn't going to press him for details, Zhao Qinglan didn't ask.
After they finished eating and cleaned up, the two of them went inside and began to continue discussing the matter.
Knowing that his wife did not object to his retaliatory actions, Li Huai stopped hiding his intentions and revealed his purpose directly.
"Won't doing this be bad for you?" she asked worriedly after hearing that.
Even if she was very knowledgeable in her past life, she had never experienced anything like this before.
Li Huai smiled. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I definitely won't hurt myself, and it won't have any impact on our family."
He wouldn't do something so foolish as to kill a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.
Hearing him say that, Zhao Qinglan felt relieved.
Once she felt relieved, she began to think about going to the capital.
She had naturally been to the capital in her previous life, but to be able to go now in this life is quite a bit ahead of schedule.
The thought of her whole family coming to Beijing filled her with excitement, and she immediately began thinking about what she needed to buy.
After all, that's the capital city!
Considering that she bought her Shanghai-brand watch after going through several twists and turns in Shanghai, you can see how many advantages big cities have.
The three children didn't care about the details; all they knew was that they might be going to the capital.
Most children in the capital know about it and long to visit it.
In the eyes of children, the capital is a magical place.
Xiao Duo asked Da Wa directly, "Brother, can we see Tiananmen Square when we go to the capital?"
"Of course!" Da Wa was overjoyed.
"Brother, then there must be lots of delicious food too," Erwa asked honestly.
"Of course there is. It's the capital city, so there's all kinds of delicious food there."
"Wow, the capital is really great!" Erwa exclaimed sincerely.
Da Wa and Xiao Duo nodded in agreement.
The capital is so wonderful, I really want to go there soon.
If it weren't for Zhu Yuqin's lesson before, and Zhao Qinglan's repeated instructions to the children not to easily talk about family matters with outsiders, Da Wa and Er Wa would have already gone out to show off to other children.
