"He had something he had to do, so he left."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi pondered for a moment and then revealed to Xie's mother the news that Xie Zhenting was a soldier.

Xie Ruhua stayed in the town hospital for one night and checked out all the guards in Mr. Tan’s hospital!

Although the guards of the Tan family are guards, most of them are from the military.

Rather than waiting for Xie Ruhua to tell the two elders about the matter and cause them to have wild thoughts, it would be better for her to speak out. Not to mention, Tan Jincheng will have to pretend to be Xie Zhenting and live in the Xie family. Danger could come at any time...

"Soldier? You said the boss joined the army? He is a soldier, not a bad guy who committed a crime?"

When Xie's mother heard her son's identity, her eyes immediately turned red. She squatted in front of the stove and wiped her tears. "I knew it. I knew that boy was not a bad person. He has been very upright since he was a child and loves to defend the weak. How could he be a bad person?"

"It's good to join the army! Join the army to contribute to the country! That guy is still hiding it from us, is he afraid that we will worry? If I had known that his injuries were caused by defending the country, I wouldn't have scared him with the soles of my shoes, woo woo..."

Gu Nanzhi looked at Mother Xie crying and laughing, and changed the subject to divert her attention, "Thanks to my mother's shoe soles, my life was saved. Otherwise, when Xu Xiangling chopped me with a kitchen knife, he would not have known what to use to help me!"

"puff!"

Hearing this, Xie's mother couldn't help but laugh, "You're the only one who can say that, that shoe sole is your lifesaver?"

"How could that be possible! My mother is my savior!"

“You!”

Mother Xie poked Gu Nanzhi's forehead lovingly. She really liked her daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. But soon, the smile on her face faded. She looked at Gu Nanzhi inquiringly and said, "Old man, tell me the truth. The eldest brother left in such a hurry. Did something happen? Is he... in danger?"

Mother Xie knew exactly how her son came back!

He came back half-dead with three bullet holes in his body. It was Huo Mingda who sent him back, but Huo Mingda didn't even send them a message!

There must be something fishy here...

Gu Nanzhi heard: "..."

He looked at Xie's mother with a complicated expression.

Isn’t it said that genetics are very important?

Look at how sharp Mother Xie is. She is just an ordinary country woman, but she can think of this as soon as she knows her son's identity...

"Something happened, so there is danger!"

Gu Nanzhi didn't think her acting skills were that good, so she said half-truthfully, "But how can a job like his not be dangerous? Don't worry, mom, he's very capable, there won't be any real danger. Besides, he has his comrades to help him, so he'll be fine!"

"Really?"

A mother worries about her son even when he is far away, and Xie's mother is still very worried.

"Of course it's true. Tan Jincheng is his former comrade-in-arms, as is Huo Mingda, who was one of his former comrades!"

"Really? So the boss is really awesome?"

"How could that be false? Mother, please believe me..."

“…”

Gu Nanzhi comforted Xie's mother, and couldn't help laughing when she saw her mother excitedly going to Xie's father to share the secret.

After a while, the chicken in the pot was cooked through.

Xie Ruyun ran over with a happy look on her face to serve the rice.

"Sister-in-law, you hid it so well. If mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it!"

Xie Ruyun glanced at Gu Nanzhi in reproach and said, "You said such an important matter, why did my elder brother only tell sister-in-law? He even hid it from us, his blood relatives. Sister-in-law, you and my elder brother... are you... hehe!"

Xie Ruyun smiled meaningfully at the end of her speech.

Gu Nanzhi was frightened by her smile.

"What are you thinking about? You're laughing like an old witch!"

Gu Nanzhi pushed Xie Ruyun.

"hey-hey!"

Xie Ruyun smiled even more arrogantly, carrying the dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms and heading towards the backyard.

Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi couldn't hide his confusion and asked, "Where are you taking the chicken?"

"Take it to the backyard!"

Xie Ruyun turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, you were not at home yesterday, I don't know..."

Xie Ruyun hurriedly told him about the changes in her family.

It turned out that after she and the old village chief took Xu Xiangling to the Public Security Bureau yesterday, Xie Zhenting called the two elders to his room and asked them to take the opportunity to clear the backyard.

The two elders became angry when they thought of Xu Xiangling using a knife to chop their daughter-in-law. They ran to the backyard and threw Xu Xiangling's things out. When they wanted to drive Wang Wanning and Zhao Jie away as well, something unexpected happened.

Wang Wanning, Zhao Jie and Jiang Ling don’t want to move away!

The youth education center in the village had large dormitories, with seven or eight people living in one room. The three of them didn't want to move back to the youth education center and live in a crowded place.

Even though the two elders moved out the mountains of medicinal herbs in their home and wanted to set up a house to dry the herbs, the three of them would rather squeeze into one room and refused to move out.

The two elders had no choice, and with Xie Jianbang's support, they could only let Wang Wanning and Zhao Jie stay and only drive Xu Xiangling out.

"They lived in the room that Zhiqing Wang had lived in before, which was far from the front yard. My eldest brother thought it was okay and asked us to remind them to stay out less at night, and then let them stay."

After Xie Ruyun learned that her eldest brother was a soldier, she straightened her back a lot and said with a proud look on her face, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, we all moved to the backyard last night, and my eldest brother arranged a lot of things in the front yard by himself. Have you ever seen bed sheets hanging out at night? The scene of the bed sheets flying around in our front yard at night almost scared me to death. That's not all, my eldest brother also pulled a lot of steel wires in the yard..."

Xie Ruyun had previously wondered why her eldest brother had asked his entire family to move to the backyard. Now that she knew her eldest brother's identity, she suddenly understood!

Maybe someone wants to harm her elder brother, so her elder brother is on guard!

Let the family move to the backyard and set up defenses in the front yard. The eldest brother is doing this to protect the family!

"It's good for you to know these things, but don't tell anyone else!"

Gu Nanzhi whispered to Xie Ruyun, "From now on, at night, all those things will be set up. Remember to take good care of the children at night and try not to go out!"

Xie Ruyun nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes! That's what my parents just told us! Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will definitely not cause any more trouble!"

"Um!"

“…”

The two of them walked towards the backyard, chatting and laughing. When they approached the alley door leading to the backyard, the topic of their conversation turned to family matters.

What Gu Nanzhi didn't expect was that as soon as they entered the backyard, Zhao Jie and Jiang Ling came to greet them with a smile.

"I told you I smelled meat! It's actually stewed chicken!"

Zhao Jie enthusiastically took the large bowl from Xie Ruyun and said with a smile, "We are in for a treat today, Sister Ruyun, we'll pay more later! Hehe..."

Watching Zhao Jie and Jiang Ling holding the bowls and entering the hall in the backyard, Gu Nanzhi looked at Xie Ruyun with a puzzled look...
