Seeing this, Lin Jianguo reached out and patted Dong Xiulan's chest, then said with a smile, "Alright, Xiulan, don't be angry anymore. It's all over now, isn't it? Look, the children are fine, and they're doing quite well now."
Upon hearing his father speak, Lin Yunfeng nodded vigorously, rubbing his ears as he said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I had no choice back then. I just wanted to earn more money so that the family could have a better life. Besides, my brother-in-law was the owner of the black market back then, so nothing bad could have happened."
When Dong Xiulan heard Lin Yunfeng mention Gu Nanxun, her grip loosened slightly, and she turned to look at Gu Nanxun in surprise.
Seeing that Lin Yunfeng had implicated him, Gu Nanxun touched his nose sheepishly and explained, "Mom, actually, the black market can't be entirely mine. Back when one of my men left the army, I lent him some money. I didn't expect him to use that money to start a black market. I just had a larger share; he was the one who mainly managed it. Plus, he had strong connections. Later, my dad was worried about us getting into trouble, so he sent people over. I only let my third brother make some money because I was sure there wouldn't be any problems."
Upon hearing this, Dong Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Nanxun, Yunfeng, it's not that Mom wants to interfere with you, it's just that Mom is afraid... Although Mom doesn't understand these things and can't help you much, Mom hopes you understand that if we don't have money, we can spend less, but Mom hopes you can be safe and sound."
Seeing this, Lin Qing reached out and hugged Dong Xiulan. "Mom, don't worry. We're not short of money. We won't take any risks. We chose to do it because we can guarantee that everything will go smoothly. If there were any risks, we wouldn't have done it."
Seeing that his mother's attitude had softened, Lin Yunfeng quickly said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never take such risks again. Don't worry, once the policies improve, we can do business openly and honestly."
Lin Qing quickly chimed in, "Mom, Third Brother is right. Once we can do business openly and honestly, our family will only get better and better."
"You're not allowed to do anything reckless! Who told you that you can do business now? Although things have been relaxed a bit, the government hasn't said that you can do business!"
After hearing Lin Qing and Lin Yunfeng's words, Dong Xiulan said anxiously, fearing that the two children did not know the seriousness of the matter.
Seeing Dong Xiulan's anxious expression, Lin Qing patted her arm and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry! We definitely won't do anything reckless before the policy is officially released. But look, there are already people secretly doing business on the streets, and the government hasn't intervened. This shows that the government is definitely planning to loosen restrictions, and maybe the policy will be relaxed soon."
Lin Qing comforted Dong Xiulan with the same words, just as she had said to Lin Yunfeng and the others before. Lin Yunfeng thought it made perfect sense, and he firmly believed that the country would definitely loosen the policy, just like the recent relaxation of housing sales. He himself had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Seeing this, Lin Aiguo also tried to smooth things over: "Alright, Xiulan, the children aren't completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. Don't worry, with Nanxun here, nothing will happen. We're old and don't understand anything, so let's not cause trouble for the children."
In fact, Lin Aiguo had vaguely learned something over the years and had even secretly talked to Gu Nanxun about it. The reason he didn't tell Dong Xiulan was because he was afraid she would worry.
After all, it's understandable that the eldest and second sons send money to the elderly couple because they receive a lot of salary, but it's not normal for the third son, who works in the countryside, to send them so much money every month. However, after talking to his son-in-law, he wasn't so worried anymore.
After all, his son-in-law's abilities speak for themselves! He still trusts his son-in-law quite a bit.
However, it's impossible not to worry at all. But troubled times produce heroes, and in life, there are always opportunities to seize. Fortunately, things are better now, and everything is in the past. Thinking of this, Lin Aiguo couldn't help but smile.
Dong Xiulan sighed, "Old man, I know you're right, I just can't help worrying."
"Okay, Mom, it's all over now. From now on, things will never be like they were before. Our country will get better and better."
Lin Qing hugged Dong Xiulan's arm and shook it, acting coquettishly.
Gu Nanxun also changed the subject at the right time, saying, "Qingqing is right, Mom and Dad. Things will only get better and better for us in the future. Qingqing told me before that she wanted my eldest brother and second brother to come back. I have been working on it recently. I guess my eldest brother can't come back yet, but my second brother will be back soon. I estimate that he can be transferred back in about two months at most."
Dong Xiulan's attention was indeed diverted by Gu Nanxun's words. She looked at Gu Nanxun happily and asked, "Nanxun, are you telling the truth? Is your second brother really coming back?"
As for Dong Xiulan, she is quite satisfied with everything now. Her only regret is that her eldest and second sons are not by her side. If, as Gu Nanxun said, her eldest and second sons could come back, then she would really have no regrets.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianguo looked at Gu Nanxun with anticipation, his eyes filled with excitement.
Gu Nanxun smiled and nodded, "That's right, the transfer order is currently going through the process, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back soon."
"Okay...okay...okay...this is wonderful..."
Dong Xiulan choked up as she spoke. For so many years, she had worried about her eldest and second sons every day. Now, upon hearing this news, she could no longer hold back her tears, which fell in large drops.
"Mom, look at you, how can you cry when it's such a happy occasion?"
Lin Qing reached out and hugged Dong Xiulan, patted her shoulder, and comforted her with a smile.
