Chapter 239 Uncle Xu's Purpose
239
Tang Yue just felt that Xu Zhiwei was a bit annoying. She didn't want to have any unpleasantness when meeting Mr. Xu, so she stretched out her little hand and directly untied Xu Zhiwei's acupoint.
"Hey? I, I can speak now."
Xu Zhiwei excitedly pounced on Tang Yue, "Wow, ugly, no, Yueyue, when did you become so powerful?"
Master Xu stared at Tang Yue in shock, not wanting to move his eyes away for even a second. Tang Yue didn't want to argue with Xu Zhiwei, so Master Xu moved over and asked, "Xiao Yueyue, how did you do this? How did you become so powerful?"
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Grandpa Xu, I learned this from others."
Before Master Xu could ask more, the car stopped. Chang Yin jumped out first and said, "This guesthouse is not far from the army. The army can't get in, so let's put them here first."
Tang Shengkai was very grateful to Chang Yin, "Thank you, Captain Chang, for your trouble."
Chang Yin said nothing and took them to the guesthouse.
Mr. Xu held Tang Shengkai, "Shengkai, if the army can't let us stay here, we should just go to the train station. There are chairs over there, we can just make do with them.
Why spend that much money? "
Tang Shengkai held Uncle Xu's hand and said, "Uncle, I can't let you do that. Just stay here without worry. I have an allowance now, so don't worry."
Chang Yin wanted to help pay, but Tang Yue disagreed and just paid for the guesthouse.
"Battalion Commander, can we take a leave today? We can't go back to the army. We can have a good chat with our fellow villagers."
Chang Yin didn't know if those people would come to the army today. "You and your father stay here and don't run around. If anything happens, I'll ask Wang Ming or Sun Jinan to come find you."
"OK."
After Chang Yin left, Tang Shengkai led a few people to the room. The room was very tidy. As soon as Xu Zhiwei entered the room, he couldn't control his mouth again, "Wow, Grandpa, this house is so nice. It's much better than ours.
Oh, I don’t even want to leave.”
As he spoke, he lay down on a bed. Qian Xing shyly placed his luggage in the corner by the window and stood aside without sitting down.
Tang Shengkai moved a chair for him and said, "Xingzi, sit down."
Qian Xing sat down. Tang Yue had already poured water for everyone. Xu Zhiwei and Tang Yue served it to them together.
"Second uncle, thank you for your hard work along the way."
Uncle Xu waved his hand. "Shengkai, you've been gone for over half a year. You haven't called the village once, or written a single letter. How are you doing?"
Second Uncle Xu really cared about them. He could understand why they didn't report back, given the spies were watching. It was right for them to try not to reveal their secrets.
But he was still uneasy. Now that he saw that Tang Lao San and the little girl were both fine, and their complexions showed that they had enough food and drink, he felt relieved.
Tang Shengkai felt a little guilty. "Uncle, thank you for your concern. You know my family situation. I really don't dare to contact them."
"Hey, I understand all of this. Shengkai, actually, I came to see you this time for something else."
Tang Shengkai was a little confused. He didn't say anything and just kept looking at Second Uncle Xu. Second Uncle Xu looked at Tang Yue, and Tang Shengkai explained, "Second Uncle, it's okay. Yueyue is no different from the pillar of the family now.
We don’t hide anything from her in our family.”
Second Uncle Xu didn't hide it anymore. He pointed at Qian Xing and said, "It's your Uncle Qian's family. I don't know if you know, but it's been half a year since you left. Your mother, well, she's not from that family either. Li Guiqin's whole family has been arrested."
I heard it was because they were colluding with the secret agents. They were supposed to eat peanuts. But they pleaded guilty, so I heard they were sent to the Northwest for reform.
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. But it was clear that Second Uncle Xu hadn't finished speaking yet.
He continued. Second Uncle Xu lowered his head, seemingly unable to understand. "I don't know when Li Guiqin and the others told the spies, but not long after they were arrested, spies came to our house and your Uncle Qian's house. They came to us and forced us to tell them your addresses.
We all said we didn't know. They didn't believe us, saying that our two families had the best relationship with yours, so we must know. Zhiwei's parents weren't home, so he really didn't know anything.
Zhiwei didn't know about your departure, so our family didn't find out anything from us.
But your uncle Qian's family is different. He has many people in his family. If the spies took out guns to threaten your uncle Qian, if your uncle Qian was alone, he would definitely never tell a word even if he died. But, alas.
There are more than ten people in the family, and he couldn't bear it. So, he told them you went to South Island.
Tang Yue's eyes were cold, not because Grandpa Qian failed to resist the interrogation of the secret agents, but because she hated those devils for daring to harass other villagers in Qiligou. It was really too much.
Very good, the Hatoyama family has one more crime to be charged with.
Seeing that Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue didn't say anything, Second Uncle Xu sighed and continued, "After the spies left, your Uncle Qian fell seriously ill. He regretted it and blamed himself for being weak."
Tang Shengkai shook his head.
"If your Aunt Qian hadn't been watching him all the time, he would have found the dagger."
Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue were both a little shocked. Uncle Qian (Grandpa) was truly so kind-hearted. He was such a genuine person.
"He's always been worried about you, afraid that what he said would bring disaster to your family. He's afraid that your family will be destroyed because of his words. Now that he's recovered a little, he came to find me.
He knelt down and begged me to take Qian Xing to South Island to find you. He must tell you all this. He also knew that it might be too late, after all, the spies are more capable than us, but he just couldn't feel at ease.
Tang Shengkai had no idea so many things were happening at home. With a thump, Qian Xing knelt down in front of Tang Shengkai.
Tang Yue was so shocked just now that she didn't really pay attention to Qian Xing.
Tang Shengkai stood up in a flash, stepped forward and picked up Qian Xing, "Xingzi, what are you doing?"
Qian Xing choked up, "Third brother, it's our family that's wronged you. My father said that our family owes you. I must kowtow to you and admit my fault and make amends."
"Not really, not even a needle!"
Tang Shengkai patted Qian Xing's shoulder and said, "To be honest, it's me who has caused trouble for your family and Uncle Xu's family. I made you worry and frightened. It's all my fault."
Uncle Xu and Qian Xing both shook their heads silently.
Tang Shengkai cheered up, "Second Uncle, Xingzi, is everyone at home okay?"
Uncle Xu rushed to answer, "It's okay. The secret agents came once and must have found out your whereabouts. They haven't been to Qiligou since then. By the way, did the secret agents look for you?"
Tang Shengkai nodded. There was no need to hide this. He told them that he had enlisted in the army and that Tang Yue and her family had been trapped by spies on a hilltop in a village on South Island. Uncle Xu and Qian Xing were so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears.
Oh my goodness, this is horrifying! These spies are truly rampant. Fortunately, the military came over to help eliminate them.
"So, Third Brother, is your family safe now?"
Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue exchanged a glance. "Uncle, the spies haven't given up yet, but we're living inside the military base now, so it's safe. Normally, the spies can't get to us."
"That's good, that's good."
Then Uncle Xu sighed, "Oh, when will this end? You say these spies, why are they so unreasonable? They have killed so many of our Chinese people. If they are seeking revenge like this, when will it end?"
Tang Yue thought to herself that soon, within three months at most, she would make sure the Hatoyama family disappeared from this world.
Tang Shengkai looked at Qian Xing, "Xingzi came here just for this."
Qian Xing nodded, then shook his head. He was a very talkative boy, but because his family felt they owed Tang Shengkai's family something, he felt a little embarrassed in front of them.
Tang Shengkai was helpless. He patted Qian Xing's shoulder. "Xingzi, don't overthink it. Actually, if I have to say anything, I'm the one who's sorry. If it weren't for our family, you wouldn't be targeted by the spies."
But, Xingzi, what else do you want to do?"
Qian Xing: How did I perform? Hey guys, give me some praise! I'll do better!
