Huo Yanping was speechless upon hearing this.
He frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
He said in a deep voice, "What do you mean we can't get together? I just received a call from my daughter yesterday, saying that she and her son-in-law will be taking a vacation and coming back to visit me in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Old Cai grinned mischievously.
"Hehe, what a coincidence!"
He raised an eyebrow at Huo Yanping and said, "I also received a call today."
Huo Yanping: "!!!"
His brows were furrowed tightly.
"What does it matter whether you answer the phone or not, or whether my daughter and son-in-law come home or not?"
He said with a look of disgust, "Old Cai, stop trying to make conversation. I think you're just envious that I have such a good godson and godson!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cai exclaimed, "!!!"
His face twitched.
It's better to say something than to say it.
He was genuinely envious!
However, there are some things he can only envy, after all...
He doesn't have the thick skin of someone from a military background; he wouldn't do something like snatching someone's son and daughter-in-law!
"snort!"
Old Cai snorted coldly and said, "The call I received was from my brother-in-law, Lao Ji. He said he called you because your communications officer said you went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things and were coming to the base. He asked me to tell you that you don't need to wait for your daughter and son-in-law to come back!"
"Your daughter and son-in-law are not coming back!"
These words were spoken.
Huo Yanping: "!!!"
The tiger's body immediately trembled.
"...can't they come back?"
He looked at Old Cai with disbelief and said, "You mean my daughter and son-in-law...they're not coming back?"
His daughter and son-in-law are both military men!
To avoid suspicion, he worked under Lao Ji in the south, and now...
Old Ji asked Old Cai to tell him that his daughter and son-in-law would not be coming back...
Soldiers are already constantly exposed to gunfire and bullets; if they don't come back, there's only one possibility, and that is...
His daughter and son-in-law are honored!
Thinking of this, Huo Yanping burst into tears.
Upon seeing this, Qin Weiguo and Xue Ru were also startled and quickly stepped forward to comfort them.
On the contrary, it was Old Cai, who came to deliver a message and, incidentally, to ridicule Huo Yanping, who simply asked, "???"
Seeing Huo Yanping wailing in pain, I was completely stunned.
"No, is it really that serious?"
He circled around Huo Yanping, who was wailing uncontrollably, looking utterly helpless. "Isn't it just that your daughter and son-in-law can't come back? We know you only have one daughter, Huo Yun, and you cherish her like the apple of your eye, but..."
"Military orders are absolute! Since she chose you to join the army, you must obey her commands!"
As he spoke, Old Cai leaned forward and patted Huo Yanping on the shoulder, saying with a reassuring expression, "Well, I know that Old Gu's handling of transferring your daughter and son-in-law was a bit underhanded, but..."
"You also stole his son and daughter-in-law, didn't you?"
"Put yourself in their shoes. If you traded pairs, you wouldn't lose out!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yanping exclaimed, "Ugh... hiccup?"
He looked up at Old Cai with a surprised and uncertain expression and said, "Old man, what did you say? You said that Old Gu transferred my daughter and son-in-law away?"
Old Cai blinked blankly, "That's right!"
Huo Yanping wiped away the tears on his face and said with a burning gaze, "So, what you mean by 'can't come back' is this inability to come back?"
Mr. Cai: "Otherwise what?"
Huo Yanping: "!!!"
He glared at Old Cai with gritted teeth.
"Otherwise? You still have the nerve to say 'otherwise'!"
As he rolled up his sleeves, he approached Old Cai and said, "You old bastard, how dare you scare me? I'll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, Huo Yanping lunged at Cai Lao.
