Wu Dewang and the others sat by the stove and tended the fire.
They deliberately left space for the mother and son to talk. At this moment, Chen Ruijun, his parents, and Old Mrs. Ouyang were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the inner room talking.
Although Grandma Ouyang didn't know why her son knew she was there, she knew something must have happened.
Chen Ruijun told his mother that his father, his eldest brother, his second brother, and Chen Ruixue were now working at the chicken farm affiliated with the military hospital.
Upon hearing this, Chen's parents were at a loss for words.
By doing this, Ouyang Zhenyu has clearly demonstrated his relationship with the Chen family.
Chen's mother shed tears of shame and said...
“Go back and tell Zhenyu.”
He and Ruixue are not a good match; in this day and age, our family matters cannot affect him any further.
He absolutely mustn't do anything reckless.
Grandma Ouyang patted Chen's mother on the shoulder; she understood a mother's feelings.
Although Chen's mother looked down on her son at first, she also disdained Chen's mother and was full of anger.
However, in this situation, there is no need to deliberately kick someone when they're down.
The Chen family has already suffered enough; their current predicament inevitably evokes a sense of shared sorrow among everyone.
Who knows which family might one day fall into the same predicament? It's fortunate that their family has a clean record and can withstand the investigation.
This generation will not only refrain from kicking someone when they're down, but they will even repay evil with kindness.
Don't talk nonsense. Zhenyu is a man of his own mind. He must be able to protect them, which is why he brought them under his command.
At this point, what's the point of saying anything more?
You know your father's health. Old Chen's body can't withstand this kind of strain.
Chen Zhiyuan almost knelt down before Old Madam Ouyang.
"Thank you, old lady, thank you for your kindness."
"Don't thank me, my husband and I couldn't help with this either."
You know that even if our arms are long, we can't reach this far right now.
Zhenyu did all of this by himself.
To be precise, that child is completely devoted to your Ruixue.
Chen Zhiyuan also felt ashamed beyond words; the things he and his wife had done back then were now something they couldn't even mention.
This son-in-law was someone they absolutely disapproved of, yet it was precisely this son-in-law who protected their family at the crucial moment.
Chen Ruijun could naturally see his parents' predicament, and quickly said,
"Don't overthink it, and don't thank me. Zhenyu asked me to pass on a message to you: he knows your current situation, but you have to be patient for two years."
No matter how hard or tiring it is, you must persevere. He will find a way to improve the current situation for you.
But it will take time, as you know our county is quite far from here.
"It's okay, we're fine. Tell Zhenyu not to worry about us, we don't need him to take care of us."
Your uncle's family is a little better off than ours; they can even help us out.
No matter how many production team leaders there are, they won't do anything to the two of us.
"Tell Zhenyu not to worry about our affairs, so as not to attract attention from others. These days, people are afraid of being deliberately sabotaged."
The Chen family has already fallen; we absolutely cannot let the Ouyang family be implicated.
“Dad, don’t worry about it. Zhenyu has a way. He’s at the peak of his career right now. You don’t know how many people are begging him for help.”
Chen Ruijun was well aware of Ouyang Zhenyu's reputation; the line of people waiting to register and seek treatment at the military hospital could stretch for miles every day.
Even if it means waiting two years for a number, these people are happy to do it.
Not to mention that when the military region's leaders need medical treatment, they now come directly to the military region hospital, whereas before they would go to the provincial or municipal hospitals.
The connections Ouyang Zhenyu had made were far beyond what the Chen family could possibly access.
They're cooking outside. Then I heard a sound coming from the doorway.
What are you doing?
Wu Dewang was peeling scallions with his sleeves rolled up. He put the scallions aside, lifted the curtain, and went out. He saw a group of people standing at the door, led by a man.
Judging from the appearance, he was carrying a gun on his back.
Wu Dewang's eyes immediately sharpened; these days, ordinary people can't be robbed so easily.
In the 1960s, militia units were still armed.
Who are you?
Captain Wu was startled when he saw the soldiers at the door; he had been searching outside for a day and a night.
All the clues combined prove that the old woman has not gone far, meaning she must be hiding nearby.
The only people they suspected were the couple who went up the mountain to gather pig feed yesterday.
In addition, the skinny monkey recounted what had happened to him in the cave yesterday, proving that the fifth team leader was quite shrewd.
The problem was immediately apparent. Although the skinny monkey could see the entire room clearly at a glance, this was the easiest place for someone to hide if the woman had deliberately concealed someone under the covers.
Since they hadn't found anyone nearby, they decided to search again no matter what.
When they arrived here with a group of men in a very aggressive manner, they were stopped by two soldiers at the gate. They were stunned when they saw the two People's Liberation Army soldiers.
“Comrade PLA soldier, I am the militia captain from a nearby village. Here’s the thing, we’re arresting enemy agents, and we suspect they might be hiding in this cave.”
Wu Dewang sharply scrutinized the Fifth Captain in front of him, who felt a little uneasy under his gaze and involuntarily lowered his head.
"Arrest enemy agents! We're right here in this room. Are we the enemy agents you're talking about?"
