Mother Lu handed the basin in her hand to Li Guilian, telling her not to dislike it.

"Look at what you said, Auntie. How could I reject such a good thing?" Li Guilian didn't bother to be polite with Lu's mother. She took the basin and asked Lu's mother to come in and chat with her.

"No, I'm not going in. I'm cooking bone soup at home. I have to go back to watch the fire. Just empty the basin for me." Mother Lu wanted to go back to watch the fire, so she refused to go in. After asking Li Guilian to return the basin to her, she turned around and went home.

When I got home, I sat in the kitchen, watching the fire, and said to my daughter who was basking in the sun in the yard: "Xiaoyan, when Xiaoli and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat today, we met an old lady who came out to buy meat without any money or tickets."

"And then? Did you lend it to her?" Lu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and asked her mother.

"How could I possibly lend her money? I don't even know her. How could I possibly lend her money?" Mother Lu curled her lips when she heard her daughter's words and said, "Xiao Li and I both bought some big bones and were going to make soup, but the old lady asked Xiao Li to borrow money, but Xiao Li said that he had run out of money and didn't have any extra."

"But who knew that the old lady would directly grab the big bone in Xiao Li's hand and say that she wanted to return it and give her some meat instead."

"How can you still do this? Then what? Isn't Sister Li angry?" Lu Qingyan was stunned by the old lady's actions. The other person didn't lend her money, but she dared to rob him?

"Xiao Li snatched the big bone back and said he would not lend it to her, so he ignored her." After saying this, Mother Lu shook her head helplessly and said, "But the old lady saw that I bought a lot of meat and asked me to lend it to her. I refused to lend it to her, and she even used her son to pressure me. How can there be such a person in this army?"

"Mom, you said that the old lady used her son to pressure you just to get you to lend her money?" Lu Qingyan felt something was wrong when she heard this and asked with a frown.

"What do you mean by borrow? That's clear. Her son is the deputy head of the group. She can ask me for some money and tickets because she thinks highly of me." After saying this, Mother Lu looked at her frowning daughter and said:

"This was said in front of Xiao Li and me. This person obviously didn't take us seriously. Also, she must be used to doing this kind of thing. I wonder if she has used her status to bully other people."

"We need to take this matter seriously. When Mingze comes back from get off work, tell him again that we can't just ignore the fact that the wives of soldiers are being bullied." Lu Qingyan felt that this kind of thing would affect the army if it went on for a long time. Besides, no one's money comes from the wind, so why should they give it to others for nothing?

This matter needs to be discussed with Gu Mingze, and he should be asked to investigate it thoroughly.

Look at this old lady bullying people and asking for money and tickets from others. Is it her own idea or is it her son, the deputy head of the group, who is instigating her from behind?

"That's what I meant. I was thinking of talking to Mingze when he comes back. However, I just told Xiao Li to talk to her husband about this matter, and Xiao Li agreed." When Lu's mother talked to her daughter about this matter, she also wanted her daughter to talk to her son-in-law. Now that her daughter asked her to talk to her son-in-law, she should just talk about it herself.

"That's fine. Sister Li's husband is a political commissar, and he does this kind of work. If her husband can investigate, it's fine." Lu Qingyan said so, but she still felt that it was too much to let her own man investigate.

If the investigation really reveals any problems, her man can officially establish his authority in the military region and prevent others from looking down on him.

"But when Mingze comes back, I still have to tell him that whoever they want can handle this matter. Anyway, it's all right as long as we get the message across." Mother Lu didn't think too much about it. She thought that after she had finished talking to her son-in-law, whoever they wanted could handle it. It had nothing to do with her anyway.

After Lu's mother finished speaking, she felt that the time was about right, so she opened the lid of the pot, scooped out two scoops of bone soup, and added a scoop of water to the pot.

I just went to stretch the noodles, and when Gu Mingze came back, I started cooking them directly.

If you don’t have green onions, just cut some chopped green onions, sprinkle them into the pot, and you can eat.

"Mingze, go wash your hands and come over to eat the noodles. If they get clumpy, they won't taste good." Mother Lu brought the bowl of noodles to the living room and urged her son-in-law to wash his hands and come over to eat.

"Sons, let's go wash our hands and eat. The bone soup noodles your grandma made are so delicious." When Lu Qingyan heard that it was time to eat, she got up from the stool and called her two sons who were playing next to her to wash their hands and eat.

"You are greedy. Fortunately, your two children are not like you. Otherwise, if they were as greedy as you, they would be laughed at when they grow up." Mother Lu went into the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks. When she heard what her daughter said, she was annoyed and glanced at her daughter and said

"I'm greedy because the food you cook is delicious. If it was someone else cooking, when would I have been so greedy?" Lu Qingyan was not happy to hear what her mother said. She just stood there with her hands on her waist and said

"Oh? So you mean that you don't want to eat the food I cook?" Gu Mingze hadn't intended to interrupt, but after hearing what his wife said, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and asked behind her.

"Haha, no, I also like the food you cook. What I mean is that I like the food our family cooks, but I don't like the food other people cook." When Lu Qingyan heard her husband's tone, she hurried forward and said flatteringly.

"Okay, stop teasing us and come over to eat. The noodles are clumping together." Mother Lu disliked her daughter's attentiveness the most. She just couldn't bear to watch and urged them to come over to eat and not waste time there.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to the house and sat down obediently, not saying anything that might cause misunderstanding.

After feeding the two children noodles, Mother Lu looked at her son-in-law who came into the room and said, "Mingze, when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat this morning, I ran into the mother of the deputy regiment commander of the army. I think her surname is Qin. She relied on her son being the deputy regiment commander to ask me for money and tickets. You have to investigate this matter carefully."

"I understand. I will investigate when I go to work. Our army does not allow such people." After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Gu Mingze nodded and agreed.

After dinner, I didn't stay at home for a while as usual, but got up and went out directly.

When he just went out, he met He Dajun who was also about to go out. The two of them didn't need to talk, just a glance and they understood each other's meaning.

"Let's investigate separately. If it's true, we'll report it to the higher-ups and see how they handle it." He Dajun followed Gu Mingze and said as he walked.

"Let's do it this way." After Gu Mingze finished speaking, he returned to the office and started to act separately with Political Commissar He.

The army is so small that we can find all the evidence with just a casual investigation.

"Bang... This kind of scum must not be allowed to stay in the army, report it immediately."
