When Lu Yuan returned to the Changhe Brigade, it was already evening. Lu Xiaoqin came to his house to help with cooking as usual.
With many children in the family and Wen Moxue busy with herbal medicine every day, Lu Xiaoqin has always helped with cooking.
"When the brigade builds new houses later, we can build them next to each other, which will be more convenient."
"Brother Dongzi has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
The two women chatted and laughed, and Lu Xiaoqin's expression showed no difference from usual.
Lu Yuan had just returned when Lu Xiaojun came back from the construction site, looking perfectly normal.
But Lu Yuan knew that the siblings were hiding another side of their emotions.
The news that Lu Guoqing was taken to the police station as soon as he showed up at the village entrance yesterday has been widely circulated in the village, and the siblings must have heard about it as well.
Lu Yuan was satisfied that the two of them could act so nonchalantly, regardless of whether their feelings were genuine or not.
At least the two of them made it clear that they would not interfere in his and Lu Guoqing's affairs.
Lu Yuan went to the kitchen, where Lu Xiaoqin was preparing the last dish. Lu Xiaojun was fetching water to wash his hands and face.
Lu Yuan also scooped up a ladle of water and rinsed his hands.
He said, "The police station has sent him to the farm below."
He still informed the siblings about the situation.
Both of them were taken aback. Then, Lu Xiaoqin quickly took the vegetables out of the pot and poured in a ladle of water.
"I should have gone long ago," she said calmly.
Lu Xiaojun poured out the water from the basin and said, "Serves him right."
Lu Xiaoqin brought all the dishes to the table, packed the portion she wanted to take home in a basket, and then smiled as she took off her apron.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I'll head back now."
Wen Moxue pointed to a basket placed in a corner of the main room.
"Your older brother picked these pears this morning; they're really sweet. Take some home with you."
Lu Xiaoqin peeked over and saw that there were quite a few. She smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Then I won't be polite. These pears are sweet; even Grandma likes to eat them."
As she spoke, she found another basket and started filling it with pears. Besides her grandmother, the men and children in the family also loved to eat them.
Lu Xiaoqin picked up about ten before stopping.
"Let's go, elder brother and sister-in-law."
"Slower."
Seeing that she was not being formal, Wen Moxue and Lu Yuan exchanged a smile.
That evening, Lu Yuan and his wife did some pre-sleep exercise. They were both sweating profusely, so they went into the space to wash up before returning to the kang (heated brick bed) to lie down in each other's arms.
"Brother Yuan, how long can Lu Guoqing stay on the farm?"
Lu Yuan held her close, his chin brushing against her forehead.
"They won't be able to stay for more than a few days, maybe ten days at most, before they'll be sent back."
“He got off too easy,” Wen Muxue said.
Lu Yuan said, "I've come up with a new way to deal with him. The outcome will only be worse then."
"Is it related to that medicine you asked Dad and me to research these past few days?"
Lu Yuan pinched her pretty cheek. "My wife is so smart."
Wen Moxue slapped his hand away. "It's not that I'm smart, but you're so eager for us to get results as soon as possible. I've never seen you care about the drugs we're researching before, but this time you brought it up on your own initiative and seemed very anxious, which is why I made this guess."
"What exactly are you planning to do?" she asked curiously.
Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't hide anything from his wife.
"Back then, when he stole me back, it only harmed our family's interests. Given his current status as a Hong Kong businessman, there was nothing we could do about it. We had to compromise when it came to the collective interest. But what if this time he harms the collective interest?"
"you mean?"
Lu Yuan kept this question a secret, saying, "I'll tell you when your experiment is about to succeed."
Wen Moxue gave a soft snort, clearly dissatisfied with his answer, but she didn't press him further.
A moment later, she propped herself up and looked at Lu Yuan.
“Honey, you want to get back at Lu Guoqing and send him away, not just to make him pay the price for what happened back then, right?”
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
Wen Moxue smiled slightly. "I think you're still considering Xiaoqin and Xiaojun."
Why do you say that?
"Don't I know you? If you really want revenge, you'll cripple him and leave him half-dead, but you won't send him away. You'll make him watch us live a good life every day and regret it and suffer torment every day."
"But you want to get rid of him, and he'll never see you again in this lifetime. Are you afraid that he will be a burden to Xiaoqin and Xiaojun in the future?"
Lu Yuan pulled her into his arms again, saying, "Nothing can be hidden from your wife."
He explained, "You know what Lu Guoqing is like. Although he seems to be doing well now, he is a dishonest and extremely selfish person."
"I can't say what Xiaoqin will become in the future, but if Dongzi follows me, he will definitely become a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions."
"And Xiaojun, whether he goes into politics, business, or something else in the future, his future is limitless."
"With Lu Guoqing around, given his nature of sacrificing his children for his own benefit, they can forget about having a good life in the future."
Wen Moxue nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes a lot of sense. You know, Lu Guoqing is capable of anything. If he were around, he would definitely be a hidden danger."
The couple chatted for a while longer before falling asleep in each other's arms.
Five days later, Qian Weixin finally verified Lu Guoqing's identity.
In the past few days, Guo Conglin, along with Lu Guoqing's mistress and two henchmen, have been running around trying to persuade Qian Weixin, He Shenghua, and Lin Pengfei to change their minds.
Unfortunately, some of them were either completely unresponsive or exceptionally adept at shifting blame.
Guo Conglin is also trying to contact the farm.
But for some reason, I couldn't get through on the other end of the phone.
After Qian Weixin verified the situation, the farm's phone was finally connected.
Guo Conglin immediately perked up and asked what was going on with the recent phone calls.
The person on the other end of the phone replied, "The phone was broken recently and was only fixed today."
They would never say that they unplugged the phone line and only plugged it back in today.
Guo Conglin, without suspecting anything, quickly got down to business.
But the farm said, "Please bring written proof to pick up the person."
The implication was that they couldn't simply send the person back with a phone call.
“If we release people with just one phone call, then everyone on our farm will be released.”
You're saying that instructions from above are just instructions from above? What if someone impersonates a leader and makes a phone call?
"We still need to strictly follow the procedures."
Guo Conglin is a scoundrel. It seems that it's impossible to get the farm to release the people ahead of schedule. We can only follow the procedures.
He hurriedly arranged for a car, and personally went to the farm with the supporting documents, the woman, and two henchmen to pick them up.
However, when they finally managed to pick up the person, they were all dumbfounded.
Even the woman's hurried steps stopped.
"Brother Lu, what happened to you?"
