Chapter 145: City Inspection, People Being Taken Away

Xu Dajun hesitated. He only had this one son. He would feel bad if he followed his mother back to his hometown. He didn't want to let his son go back and suffer like this.

"Mom, Jindan is used to living here, and he may not be willing." Xu Dajun hesitated and wanted to refuse his mother.

Mother Xu snorted coldly, "You wouldn't let me take the concubine away, and you wouldn't let me take the golden egg away. Dajun, you are really a good son to your mother."

Xu Dajun was in a dilemma because the head of the group had intervened and the daughter definitely could not go back with him. His son Jindan was still young and he was afraid that the child would not be able to adapt to life in his hometown.

There was dust everywhere and endless fields. There were no snacks, and the only things we could do when we went out were to collect firewood and cut grass for pigs.

No one knows a child better than his mother. Xu's mother advised earnestly: "Jindan is already quite old. The number of times he has been home can be counted on one hand. I am Jindan's grandmother. How can I let him starve?"

I don’t know how Xu’s mother coaxed him, but at noon, Xu Jindan really cried and made a fuss about wanting to go home.

"Dad, I want to go back to my hometown with grandma. I want to go back."

Xu Dajun touched his son's head and said, "Jindan, think about it. You won't be able to come back for a long time after you go back."

It is unknown when they will meet again. As his only son, Xu Dajun hopes that his son will stay with him.

Xu Jindan paused, thinking of what his grandmother said today. As long as he went back, he could eat eggs every day, catch grasshoppers, fish, and sparrows. Anyway, there would be lots of delicious food and drinks.

"Dad, I want to go back. I want to go back with grandma."

Xu Dajun winked at his wife, signaling her to go forward and persuade them, but Dajun's wife protected her daughter without saying a word.

Since her mother-in-law came, her relationship with her son has gradually become distant. Under the instigation of her mother-in-law, Jindan has always believed that she likes the young lady more than him, so she is unwilling to approach him.

It was useless for her to speak up. The golden egg was the offspring of the Xu family, and Xu's mother would not do anything to him. On the contrary, if she went back, she would probably be sold to a widow by her mother-in-law the next day.

A military wife can still distinguish between what is more important and what is less important. Since the child wants to leave, let him go.

None of the five members of the family agreed with him. Xu Dajun was furious but there was nothing he could do. He had to let Xu's mother take the golden egg back home.

As soon as the person left, Xu Dajun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After sending his youngest son away, Xu Dajun stretched out his hand, looked at his daughter kindly, and clapped his hands twice, "Daughter, come here, daddy will hug you."

The little girl hid timidly behind Dajun's wife, staring at Xu Dajun's face without taking a step forward.

"Why is this child still not close to his father?" Xu Dajun was humiliated by the young lady. He frowned and smiled with dissatisfaction.

The little girl was very attentive and could understand the meaning behind Xu Dajun's words. She just lowered her head and said nothing.

The military wife protected her daughter and said lightly, "Because you never held her in your arms since she was a child."

Children are close to whoever takes care of them. Jindan is willing to go with his grandmother, but the girl only wants to stick to me. How can I not understand this?

Xu Dajun smiled bitterly, his eyes lingered on his wife for a moment, and he muttered unhappily: "What else can I do? Our family depends on me to work and eat. If I take her with me, how can you and your mother eat well?"

The military wife didn't say anything. She curled her lips and didn't want to say more to the man.

The Xu family sent away a time bomb, and the time that the Bai family's father and daughter spent in the army was decreasing. The competition was coming to an end, and Captain Bai's face was rubbed on the ground by Qiao Xiangye and Jiang Xingyan.

On the training ground, their team was about to win the final victory in the team competition, but unexpectedly, the dark horse Jiang Xingyan broke through the siege and they had no chance of winning the first place.

Captain Bai's face was as black as coal. He squinted his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his lips. He said with a pretentious compliment: "Old Qiao, it is true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. We may have to retire soon."

Qiao Xiangye held a cup of hot water in his hand, took a sip and looked relaxed, "Hahaha, Lao Bai, young people are full of energy. We win again this time."

Captain Bai did not regain his face in the army, and when he returned home, he sat on the sofa in anger, looking at his daughter with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "You still haven't talked to Jiang Xingyan recently?"

Bai Xiangsu had given up completely. She thought back to the evening a few days ago when she stopped Jiang Xingyan on his way home and asked him carefully, "Jiang Xingyan, are you free? I want to talk to you."

"What?"

Bai Xiangsu thought she had a chance, and hurriedly said, "My father is also the head of the group, and my grandfather is also from Beijing. Chu Sangning is just the niece of Headmaster Qiao, but I am the head's biological daughter."

Just as she said this, she heard Jiang Xingyan's sneer. She raised her eyes and saw the contempt and disdain in his eyes, as well as the last words he left, "You make me feel disgusted."

With just these words, Bai Xiangsu no longer dared to move forward. She knew vaguely in her heart that if she dared to take another step forward, Jiang Xingyan would ruthlessly let this matter reach the ears of other people.

Bai Xiangsu knew that she would not be able to bear the consequences if her father knew that her reputation was ruined.

For the sake of her own reputation, Bai Xiangsu stayed at home peacefully for the next few days, and also heard through the crack in the door how Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning interacted with each other on a daily basis.

Now that her father mentioned this, the smile on Bai Xiangsu's face paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal, still using the same excuse: "Dad, I didn't find the opportunity. You know, the recent competition..."

As the time left for leaving was getting longer, Captain Bai was still thinking of a countermeasure, but it turned out that the people from Jing City arrived before the countermeasure.

Two men in Zhongshan suits knocked on the door of the Bai family. Captain Bai opened the door with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Who are you?"

"Municipal Inspector, someone reported that you accepted bribes. Come with us." The man took out a photo and compared it with the one behind him, and said seriously. He gave a look to the person next to him, and instantly Captain Bai was carried away.

Captain Bai was taken away by a military vehicle overnight. Bai Xiangsu, a young girl, also hurried back to ask her grandfather for help. The farce in the Bai family soon calmed down.

Chu Sangning once asked, "Dad, you did it, didn't you?"

Zhou Yongzhuo smiled but said nothing. He was able to reach this position, so he naturally knew some of the little tricks of his subordinates. Who wouldn't be corrupt and accept bribes? This was a good reason.

The noisy troops soon quieted down, and as time passed, Chu Sangning welcomed her happiest day - buying New Year's goods.

Early in the morning, He Shulan pulled the little girl out of bed and coaxed her to go out with her. Chu Sangning thought it was just an ordinary purchase, but who would have thought that she would see the scene before her.
