Managing children is more tiring than fighting a war. He hasn't disciplined his three daughters much over the years, and who knew they would develop such personalities.
They are my own children after all; I can't really just ignore them.
So he softened his tone and said, "Your cousin is so good to you, why did she do this? Can you tell Dad why?"
Perhaps it was their father's tolerant attitude that touched the three girls, and tears instantly streamed down their faces.
She choked up, wanting to say something to her father, but was interrupted by Qu Yu.
"Uncle, please don't pressure them."
Qu Yu walked over and said, "They probably got it accidentally while they were playing."
"It's not a big deal, I just lost control of my emotions, but I'm much better now."
"Look at you, you've made them cry."
"You're such a sweet little girl." Qu Yu took her third cousin's hand and said to her other two cousins, "Come on, your older cousin will cook you something delicious."
Her interruption shattered the gradually warm atmosphere.
Commander Wu didn't press the matter further and went to look for his son in the yard.
Leaving aside how Qu Yu and her three cousins from the Wu family across the street were "loving each other," Lin Xiaoxiao on the other side began to review the matter of Zhao Qingqing and Zhao Mei.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed something.
I racked my brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
After taking a shower, her mind suddenly became clear, and she finally realized what it meant.
Aside from Zhao Qingqing, she completely ignored the woman wearing a face mask throughout the entire process.
Is its presence really that weak?
As she dried her hair, she tried to recall what the woman looked like.
All we know is that she had two braids and her eyelids were drooping. The two of them never made eye contact, so they couldn't see what her eyes looked like.
The eyes are the windows to a person's soul. If you want to understand someone, you can make eye contact with them often.
You can often find a lot of information there.
For some reason, Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to understand that woman.
She has always been very efficient. After getting off work the next day, she didn't rush back home, but went directly to the government compound.
I thought I would have to ask the tree spirit where the Zhu family was located.
As soon as they crept inside, they saw a chubby figure who looked about 70% like Commander Zhao and was practically a carbon copy of Zhao Mei.
Zhao Dong?
What a coincidence!
Lin Xiaoxiao followed him and arrived at a two-story building near the high wall of the compound.
Unsurprisingly, this is the Zhu family, where Zhao Dong's father-in-law lives.
They quietly slipped inside and eavesdropped.
“I asked everyone, and it was indeed my stepmother’s son’s wife who did it. She’s said to be very strong and can easily break a person’s bones.”
"Father, should we report it to the police?"
Zhao Dong poured tea for his father-in-law as he spoke.
Zhu Youwei calmly took a sip of tea. "So what if you reported it? Do you have any evidence? A group of people tried to take down a woman, and they ended up like this. They deserve it."
"Father!" Zhao Dong didn't like hearing such demeaning words from someone who belittled him. "Xiao Mei has been bullied like this, and we're just going to put up with it?"
"And Qingqing, she's so scared she's gotten sick. Anyway, I'm going to kill that woman."
"That wolf cub Qin Yushen dares to look down on Xiaomei. I've wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time."
Zhu Youwei casually asked, "I heard your stepmother's son got promoted to deputy regimental commander? He's quite promising."
Zhao Dong couldn't understand why his father-in-law's focus was so peculiar.
Shouldn't the most important thing right now be to avenge Xiaomei and Qingqing?
Why are you even talking about his stepmother's son?
However, he still mentioned Qin Yushen, "That kid is ruthless and cunning. I called my dad this morning, and he's away on a mission, not in the army."
"Now is the best opportunity. Once he comes back, it won't be easy for us to deal with his wife."
Before this, he wouldn't have taken a small battalion commander seriously.
But Qin Yushen is already a regimental-level cadre. If he makes a move on his wife and gets caught, it will be difficult to handle the consequences.
His father is sometimes fair and impartial, and doesn't side with his relatives when it comes to certain matters.
That's why he wanted to seek his father-in-law's help.
"A mission?" Zhu Youwei was taken aback. "Do you know how long it will last? Where are we going?"
Zhao Dong was puzzled. "Father seems to be paying a lot of attention to him. Why?"
Zhu Youwei put down his teacup. "We need to know how long he'll be gone before we can make our move, right?"
Zhao Dong understood.
If Qin Yushen comes back in a couple of days and deals with his wife right under his nose, they'll either die or get a piece of their flesh bitten off.
"I don't know what the mission is, but I can try to find out."
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was eavesdropping outside, couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
Could Commander Zhao's seed quality really be that bad?
There was Zhao Mei, then Zhao Yu, and now Zhao Dong.
They don't look like smart people at all.
Damn it, is it something you can just ask about when you're in the military?
Moreover, Zhu Youwei kept steering the conversation toward the mission, trying to find out the location and time of Qin Yushen's mission. Anyone with a normal sense could tell that something was amiss.
Lin Xiaoxiao searched the Zhu family's courtyard but did not find the tree spirit.
There was only one ordinary pine tree that was not very old.
"Squeak~"
Hearing the animal's call, Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at the tree and saw a large squirrel holding a pine cone, standing on a branch.
Lin Xiaoxiao beckoned to it.
The squirrel leaped between the branches and arrived in front of Lin Xiaoxiao in no time.
He handed the pine cone to Lin Xiaoxiao in a flattering manner.
"I don't want it, you eat it yourself," Lin Xiaoxiao politely declined. "Tell me about this family."
The squirrel shook its head, "Phuket~ Phuket~"
