Chapter 722: Showing Attention for No Reason



"Political Commissar Wang's wife is there too?" Jian Shu sat up straight with a mixture of surprise and joy.

Wu Xiufang was delighted when she thought of this. "That's right! If Political Commissar Wang's wife hadn't been here today, it wouldn't have been so easy to resolve. Back in the hospital, so many people couldn't hold that old woman down, but today, when she saw someone, she just stood there quietly, not daring to say a word."

The old woman in that house was always a hot-tempered one, often getting into conflicts with others. She was also very sharp-tongued, and few could out-speak her. In the past, when someone had tried to dissuade her, she had always lashed out with a barrage of insults. Over time, others had stayed away from her, too lazy to meddle in her affairs, lest they get into trouble.

And Political Commissar Wang’s wife was one of the few people that the old woman was afraid of.

Firstly, the other party's husband is her son's immediate superior, and secondly, Political Commissar Wang's wife herself is not someone to be trifled with, and she has suffered many losses in front of the other party.

She had been taught a lesson by the other party before for mistreating her granddaughter, and her son was also criticized by his superiors because of this. He scolded her at home after returning home.

After learning her lesson, she would stay away from people whenever she saw them. But she didn't expect that she would fall into the hands of the other party again today and be caught red-handed.

Jian Shu finally felt relieved. "That's good. Political Commissar Wang's wife has come across this matter. She will definitely not ignore it. I think this time, the old woman will not get away with it. This way, the child's life will be much better."

The old woman already had a criminal record, and this incident had definitely made her impression in the eyes of her superiors even worse. Putting aside any potential punishment, under these circumstances, the family would definitely not dare to commit another crime and would have to be extremely careful with their newborn baby girl.

After all, no one can guarantee that the leader will not ask about this child again on a whim. If something happens, haha... then the future will be over.

"This can be considered a blessing in disguise." Wu Xiufang sighed.

If this hadn't happened, even if the child hadn't been harmed, her future would definitely not have been easy, as her two older sisters knew. Her life would have even been worse because of the conflict at birth.

Jianshu pursed his lips. What kind of blessing is this? Who would want this kind of blessing? He almost lost half his life in exchange for a better life in the future. It's ridiculous.

However, she also understood that this was self-consolation out of helplessness. Things had already happened. What else could she do except think in a positive way?

Jianshu stroked her belly gently, saying nothing.

***

While Jianshu was waiting for the follow-up of this matter, Meng Ying, who was far away in Beijing, received a letter.

After working overtime for more than a month, Meng Ying, who went out early and came back late every day, dragged her tired body into the house.

Not long after entering the door, Zhao Tianrui heard the noise and ran over, "Mom, you've worked hard, let me give you a back massage."

After saying this, without waiting for Meng Ying's response, he took off his shoes, climbed onto the sofa, and diligently massaged her shoulders and back.

Meng Ying raised an eyebrow. There was something fishy about this kid. He was being so attentive for no reason; he was either a traitor or a thief.

"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. What toys have you set your eyes on? Or are you out of pocket money again?"

"Hehe!" Zhao Tianrui twisted his head and whispered, "Neither."

"Hmm? What's that?" Meng Ying finally became interested. Has he changed his personality? She wanted to see what this kid was up to next.

"I, I also want to go see Sister Shushu!" Zhao Tianrui said quickly with his neck stiff.

"What? Say it again? What do you want to do?" Meng Ying lowered her voice and asked back.

Zhao Tianrui took two steps back and leaned tightly against the back of the sofa, his eyes fixed on Meng Ying's reaction, as if he was ready to run away immediately if he saw something wrong.

"I said I want to go see Sister Shushu too!"

"No!" Meng Ying refused decisively.

"Why? I don't care. If my sister can go, I want to go too!" Zhao Tianrui didn't care about Meng Ying's expression at this moment, feeling full of grievances.

"Your sister doesn't have to go to school, Zhao Tianrui, you're still a student, do you really want to skip classes?"

Zhao Tianrui pursed his lips, wanting to say he didn't want to go to school anymore, but was afraid of getting beaten if he said it out loud. In the end, he could only close his eyes and howl, "It's all your fault for giving birth to me so small. If I were the same age as my sister, I wouldn't have to go to school! Ah——I want to go too——"

Meng Ying's anger was immediately extinguished by his words. She felt both angry and amused. This brat was full of twisted ideas!

"You can cry all you want, but I won't take you with me. Just stay at home and study hard." After saying that, he walked into the house.

When Zhao Mingze and Zhao Yueling returned home, they saw their son/brother lying on the sofa and crying loudly.

"What happened? Did you lose the fight?" Zhao Mingze was holding a letter in his hand, a little curious.

It's rare, his family's troublemaker would have such a moment? Doesn't he usually beat others to tears?

Zhao Yueling walked over, dug the man up, and examined him carefully. She found no injuries and restored him to his previous position. "He's fine. He probably didn't get into a fight."

"Oh, so you're arguing with your mom again." Zhao Mingze saw his wife's shoes and understood instantly. "I'll leave this to you. I'll go find your mom."

"What do you want from me?" Meng Ying came out to drink some water and heard the question.

"Mom, what's wrong with Ruirui?" Zhao Yueling tried to coax him a few times but it didn't work, so she didn't bother to care anymore. However, she was still very curious about the reason.

Meng Ying poured a glass of water and glanced at her youngest son on the sofa. "He's mad at me. Leave him alone. He'll just keep crying if he can."

Zhao Tianrui paused crying after hearing this, and two seconds later, he cried even harder. However, his family was so hard-hearted that no one paid any attention to him, leaving him to perform a one-man show alone.

"What are you holding?" Meng Ying walked over with a cup in hand.

Zhao Mingze raised the thing in his hand, "A letter from Mingjing."

"Letter? Let me see!" Meng Ying quickly put down the cup, took the letter from him and opened it.

Since Jianshu became pregnant, the frequency of communication between the two sides has increased a lot. Basically, there is a letter every week. Sometimes, if there is a delay on the road, the two letters will arrive together.

Basically, I write about daily things, such as how my appetite has been recently, what dishes I like to eat, my belly is getting bigger, how I feel, etc.

Meng Ying read with great interest and didn't feel bored at all. From these few words, she could feel how Jianshu was doing.

But today is a little different from usual.

The smile on Meng Ying's face gradually faded, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong? What's written in the letter? Did something happen to Shushu?" Realizing something was wrong, Zhao Mingze took the letter from her hand and started reading.

Zhao Yueling also hurried to her father's side to watch together.
