The two children looked at the crowds of people at the train station and couldn't help but hold their mother's hands tightly in fear. After hearing what their mother said, they all nodded in agreement.
Even though Lu Qingyan was anxious to go back, she did not lose her vigilance. She held her two sons with both hands and looked around. If she felt anything was wrong, she would run away immediately.
At this time, two tall and mighty men came over and whispered to Lu Qingyan: "Comrade Lu, we were sent by the higher-ups to protect you. This is my work permit."
After the man said this, he handed over his work ID.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyan frowned, took the work permit with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, took a closer look, and then asked in a low voice, "When did the higher-ups send someone here? How come I don't know about it?"
"When you came to Kyoto, the higher-ups had already sent us here to secretly protect you. But I was the only one who didn't show up because I was afraid your family would worry." After the protection officer finished speaking, he continued, "Comrade Lu, we have arranged a soft sleeper for you. Please follow us and get on the train first."
"Okay." Seeing that the man in front of her didn't look like he was lying, Lu Qingyan nodded and agreed, then asked her parents to carry their things and go with her.
"Xiaoyan, who are they? Can they be trusted? Don't go with random people." When Mother Lu saw her daughter asking them to follow the two men in front, she whispered to her daughter worriedly.
"Mom, this is someone sent by the higher-ups to protect us. Let's just follow him without any worries." Lu Qingyan didn't explain why the higher-ups sent someone to protect them. Anyway, she just said that they were reliable people and they just had to trust them.
"Okay then." Seeing her daughter said so, Mother Lu reluctantly believed it.
Father Lu looked at his daughter thoughtfully, but did not ask any questions. He just followed behind silently carrying the things.
"Comrade Lu, this is it. The two of us will be guarding you. If you have any questions, just shout." The security personnel led the few people into the car and sent them to a soft sleeper room. They let them make their own arrangements and the two went to the next room.
"There are such nice carriages on this train?" After getting on the train, Mother Lu no longer had the same guarded attitude towards others as before. Instead, she looked around the soft sleeper curiously.
"Ordinary people can't buy tickets for this soft sleeper, unless they are senior officials, they can't buy this ticket." Although Lu Qingyan did arrange soft sleepers for them, she felt relieved.
She was also afraid, afraid that they were enemies, but after seeing their work badges, she felt that they were not bad people. Only after getting on the train did she feel completely relieved.
"Xiaoyan, tell me the truth. We have sent people to protect you. Is it dangerous for you to go out?" After putting away all the things, Mother Lu sat next to her daughter and asked seriously.
"Mom, you think too much. Your daughter is just an ordinary person. How can she be in danger when she goes out? You think too much." Lu Qingyan would never tell the two elders that she was in danger. She just laughed and said that she was not in danger.
"Don't lie to us. Just like that day, you had nothing to do at home, but Mingze said you were busy and didn't have time to go out."
Seeing that his daughter was still lying to them, Father Lu told them what he had discovered:
"Also, this time, we were just going back to our hometown for a normal trip, and someone came to protect you. If you say there is no danger, I won't believe it even if you kill me."
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about these. I will take care of my own safety. We can just go on as usual." Seeing that the two elders knew everything, Lu Qingyan whispered: "It's just that it's inconvenient for me to go out now. It will be fine after a while."
"Is it related to your business trip?" Mother Lu asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"Mom, don't ask anymore. We are just going back to our hometown for a normal trip. You and my dad should just put your mind at ease." Lu Qingyan shook her head and did not answer her mother's question.
"Don't ask. If we ask too much in the car, my daughter won't be able to answer. Let's not think too much about it. Just take good care of the two children. Let the couple figure out the rest."
It was at this moment that Father Lu realized that his daughter was also someone who could do great things.
Then they won't ask anything. They just need to take good care of the two children and not let their daughter and son-in-law worry about them. The rest is up to them to do as they please. They can't interfere too much.
"Oh, I finally have a soft bed. I must have a good sleep." Seeing that the old man said so, Mother Lu stopped asking questions and stretched herself and lay down on the bed, ready to go to sleep.
"Xiaoyan, do you think something will happen to your father-in-law? I'm so worried." Father Lu was not as calm as his wife. He was panicking and felt like something was going to happen.
"I can't say for sure. My second sister-in-law sent me a telegram saying that my father-in-law is dying, and she didn't say anything else." Lu Qingyan's biggest hope now is that her husband finishes the exam quickly so that she can return home.
Otherwise, if his father-in-law really died, Gu Mingze would regret it to death.
"I hope nothing happens. Otherwise, if we go back too late, I'm afraid people will gossip about us." Father Lu was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Old Man Gu would suddenly pass away. Without his son-in-law, people would gossip about him and affect his status.
"I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that my father-in-law will suddenly pass away, and Mingze will not be able to bear it when he finds out."
But no matter how worried Lu Qingyan was, the Gu family was in complete chaos over at the Ma family brigade.
After Old Man Gu passed away, Lin Dacui had no intention of living anymore.
When one of her sons and daughter-in-law was out busy with chores, she slowly moved to the cupboard, took out the rat poison that she had prepared long ago, and swallowed it all in one breath.
When Gu Mingtao and others found out, Lin Dacui had already died with a dark face.
This is not the worst. The worst thing is that the debt collectors also came to the door at this time.
He said that if Gu Minghe didn’t pay back the money today, no one in the Gu family would be allowed to go out.
Gu Mingtao and his men had no choice but to call the team leader to negotiate peace.
At first, the debt collectors were willing to talk nicely for the sake of the team leader, but when they heard that they had no money to pay back the debts, they started to make trouble again.
In order not to delay the burial of the two elders, Gu Minghai had to go to the commune to find people from the police station, and even Gu Minghe was arrested.
When the people in the team saw the miserable state of the Gu family, they all started talking about it.
It is said that on the day when the two elders of the Gu family were buried, the third son squatted under the fence, and the eldest son became a high-ranking official and no longer acknowledged the poor relatives of the Gu family.
Anyway, people said all kinds of things, but no one said anything good about Gu Mingze and his family in the fourth room. They all said that he became a high-ranking official and even didn't want to go back to the team.
Even though he has the ability, his relatives don't help him, but only help his wife's side. This is obviously a case of marrying into the family.
When Gu Mingtao and Gu Minghai heard this, they tried to explain, but no one believed them, so they could only remain silent.
This silence made the people in the team believe that what they said was right, which made the rumors become more and more outrageous.
When Lu Qingyan brought the child back to the team and heard these words, she was so angry that her face turned blue.
