Gu Huaiming also knew the importance of this matter. If the issue of Lin Han's falsified identity in her file was not handled properly, the Gu family would not be able to protect her.
The first step in deceiving and faking a military marriage is to force Lin Han and Gu Qizheng to divorce. Once Lin Han loses the protection of her status as a military family member, she will not have a good life even if she goes to prison.
"Dad, don't worry. I'm going to Shanghai. You don't need to worry too much. I'll call back to report any news."
Grandpa Gu nodded. The connections in Shanghai had been taken care of. Arranging for Gu Huaiming to go there was to have one of his own people there, to see if things could take a turn for the better.
If this matter is exploited by someone with ulterior motives, they might use it to make a big fuss about the Gu family.
He's retired now, so he's not afraid, but Gu Huaiming and Gu Qizheng are still in office. Especially Gu Qizheng, who became the regimental commander at such a young age, has attracted a lot of envy.
Although we no longer have to carry guns and fight the Japanese every now and then, the enemies hiding in the shadows are the most terrifying.
They might suddenly shoot you in the dark.
According to the Gu family tradition, the men are the ones who handle any major issues, so even if the sky falls, the women of the Gu family can rest easy.
Therefore, from Grandma Jiang to Qin Shuman, all they could think about was how to divert Lin Han's attention so that she wouldn't be too worried. They never worried about whether the matter could be resolved.
"Hanhan, if your hands can't keep up, you can slow down your feet. The stitches need to be about the same density to look good."
"Don't worry, you're just starting out. With a few more practices, you'll be able to do it very well."
Qin Shuman uses an encouraging teaching method. Lin Han hasn't made any substantial progress yet, but Qin Shuman has already praised her to the skies, making Lin Han a little embarrassed.
"Mom, I think you'll definitely get along well with other kids in the future. You're so patient and you're really good at giving compliments."
Qin Shuman smiled and said, "After your baby is born, Mom will help you take care of him. Your grandma is also very good at taking care of children. Gu Qizheng was taken care of by your grandma until he was one year old. Gu Xia, the eldest daughter of the family, was also taken care of by the old lady when she was a child."
When Gu Xia was mentioned, neither of them continued the conversation.
After Gu Jingming and Yang Feng's accident, Old Madam Jiang mentioned to Gu Xia that she should stay in the family compound.
However, Gu Xia did not agree. The trauma she suffered from Yang Feng during her childhood was too severe, to the point that even the familiar environment of the family compound made her feel suffocated.
Now that she was finally free from Yang Feng and the Yang family's control, she felt more relaxed than ever before.
She was alone, in her early thirties and still unmarried, always living like an oddball.
Although Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Gu did not interfere too much with her marriage, she was wary of all her elders because she had been interrogated and controlled by Yang Feng and the Yang family so much before.
Living alone in her workplace dormitory, leaving early and returning late, and avoiding overly close relationships with anyone is her safest and most comfortable state.
Although Lin Han didn't think there was anything wrong with a woman who wasn't married by thirty, in an era where women generally got married at seventeen or eighteen, Gu Xia's unmarried status was the original sin of everything.
Lin Han actually admired her courage to defy societal norms.
However, on the other hand, it was fortunate that they dealt with Gu Jingming and Yang Feng before returning to Kyoto, otherwise having such an uncle and aunt causing trouble at home every day would have been a nightmare.
Qin Shuman taught Lin Han two more stitches, patiently watching her practice until she was proficient. Lin Han glanced up at the wall clock.
"Hanhan, let's continue tomorrow. It's getting late. You should wash up and go to bed early. You've had a long and tiring day in the city. Go back and get some rest."
Lin Han hadn't felt sleepy until Qin Shuman said anything, but when she looked up and saw how late it was, she suddenly realized it was time to go to sleep.
She yawned and stood up.
