"I still feel that it's a bit of a coincidence. One or two things seem unrelated, but they are all somewhat related to us."
Your brothers are with your second brother and sister-in-law.
This is your good brother.
Chen Hongjun's side has something to do with me.
There's also a courtyard.
Something feels off to me.
Qin Qinghuai rubbed his fingers together, his eyes gleaming.
"Yes, they're all involving us. Add to that the people they've arrested over there, and every phone call my uncle received—they all give us the same message,"
“Let us come back,”
"Leave us in the capital?"
"But why? For those fictitious assets? Surely they can't be trying to use those things in the yard to implicate us? Or are they trying to bring Mom and Dad down?"
"No, it doesn't seem like that. My parents are already retired. Even if their stance is wrong, they don't pose much of a threat. Besides, they've retired completely now and hardly contact us anymore."
Simple frowned.
"Why is that? What do we have that would make them scheme against us? We're already hiding in those remote mountain valleys, and they're still not keeping quiet."
Qin Qinghuai's gaze sharpened.
"What did you say?"
In a flash, Qin Qinghuai suddenly grasped a lingering suspicion.
"You mean the mountain valleys,"
"Yeah, if we can't afford to mess with them, can't we at least avoid them? Even after we've run away, we're still getting so much trouble..."
She was a few beats slower to react.
"No way? They're eyeing that side?"
Yang He was extremely anxious, listening to the couple's cryptic exchange.
"No, what do you mean by 'this side' and 'that side'? Have you guys come up with any clues yet?"
Qin Qinghuai tapped his fingers lightly, deep in thought.
"Fourth Brother, Grandpa Yang, have anything strange happened lately? Or have you met anyone strange?"
Yang He was completely baffled.
"No, right? I haven't gone out for a long time. I've been keeping watch the whole time, and nothing strange has happened."
The couple exchanged a glance, becoming even more certain of their earlier guess. Even Jian Dan couldn't help but clench his fists. What kind of people were these? If forcibly taking things wasn't enough, they had to resort to ruthless extermination?
"No, I have to do something, I have such a bad temper,"
Qin Qinghuai was also feeling bad. He had been in the army in the capital for a long time, but he had never felt a sense of belonging like he had in the past two years on the border. Especially when he personally turned the wasteland into farmland little by little and watched his brothers' lives get better and better, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction was something he had never experienced in the previous thirty years.
He and his wife were prepared to spend their remaining years there, but then another unexpected thing happened.
"They don't care about the local area; all they care about are those little things,"
That little thing, it sounds easy, is nothing more than the gold mine of a couple of years ago and the coal mine of today.
It sounds easy, but the saying "money moves people's hearts" is not without merit. Most people live their lives for these material possessions, which is the most realistic statement.
"Ha, yes, some people have the thickest skin. They didn't succeed then, so now they're going to be even more aggressive in forcing you to give in."
"So, Political Commissar, do you have any countermeasures?"
Yang He also came over.
"Yes, yes, what's the solution?"
Faced with the two inquisitive faces above him, and Old Master Yang behind them, Qin Qinghuai shrugged.
"No, but there's a tug-of-war going on right now. We won't make a move before we leave."
Moreover, it's uncertain whether they'll even be in the mood for it tomorrow.
"Don't rush, I'll make a call first. My uncle's still there. They couldn't get their hands on that huge piece of meat before, so it won't be so easy this time either. Don't worry."
Jianyi understood what he said, but Yang He and the old man only half understood it. They didn't quite understand what kind of meat it was, but they roughly understood the meaning. Seeing that he had a plan, they were half relieved. After all, Qin Qinghuai had always been the smartest one since he was a child. If he could come up with a solution, then there was definitely no problem.
On this point, even Grandpa Yang shares the same inexplicable self-confidence.
Now I can finally relax and let them carve the duck, and I also have the leisure to play with the children.
"Wait a minute, the ducks are all ready for you, they'll be here soon."
The little rascal was a bit of a foodie, but easily satisfied. He ate a few pieces of duck with the adults to whet his appetite, and that was enough. In the end, he was wrapped up tightly by Qin Qinghuai before leaving the house, leaving the old man still worried.
"Check if you're sweating. Make sure you don't stand in the wind!"
"The children are all asleep. Why don't you leave them here? I can watch the children."
After much persuasion, Yang He finally managed to convince them to go back.
It was still light out, so the couple didn't hide anything and just got on the bus openly. They got off at the military compound, swaggered past the gate, and went straight home.
After settling the child in, he quickly started moving his arms and legs, his expression somewhat strained and resentful.
"Have they come back? Besides my yard, where else can they stay? Their house will do too. I won't be able to sleep until I get my revenge tonight."
Qin Qinghuai flipped through the route maps that Jian Liye had scouted out over the past two days.
"Wife, will you take me with you?"
He was momentarily stunned.
Aren't you coming with me?
Qin Qinghuai smiled.
"Alright, then follow my route tonight, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Really? You can't be soft-hearted? Wait, no, this isn't right, is it? If this comes up, you're a political commissar, where are your principles? Isn't this making a mistake? No, no, no, I can't drag you into this."
It's impossible for Qin Qinghuai not to be angry, but after living with Jian Da for a long time, he realized that the old rules that were completely confined to the framework weren't good at all. It was really not as comfortable as his wife's way. Although she was sometimes a bit immoral and incompatible with the rules of the army, it has to be said that none of the people she harmed were innocent.
"It wasn't me who did it, honey. You've forgotten, you have no sense of direction. I don't know what you're trying to do. I was just giving you directions, that's all."
"You, you, you,"
Simple stared wide-eyed at him, thinking, "What a convenient wayfinding tool!"
"You're really something!"
But this is good too. If any unexpected events happen, I can go back to the space and discuss it with him.
The two rested for a while, and as it got dark, they changed into simple and neat clothes and planned to climb out of the back window.
However, by sheer coincidence, as soon as Qin Qinghuai opened the window, he came face to face with two people dressed in black. Both of them were stunned.
After a two-second silence, Qin Qinghuai spoke first.
"Dad, Brother Chao."
Two steps behind, Jian Dan reacted quickly and moved the little cub out of the space.
Cheng Chao understood, while Jian Liye looked puzzled. He glanced at his son-in-law, then at his daughter, and finally at his sleeping granddaughter, feeling a bit of a toothache.
"What are you going to do? Take the child to do something bad?"
