Of course Chu Tian knew that Old Lady Chu was not joking. He just couldn't imagine that so many things could happen when he was not around. He wiped his face with his hand, stood up after a while, paced back and forth, and thought for a while.
"Grandma, it's okay. It's not a big deal. I'll go ask Captain Sun first."
Old Mrs. Chu hurriedly pulled him back and said, "My dear grandson, don't you want to take a break?"
Chu Tian shook his head. "My second brother basically drove the car today, so I wasn't very tired."
Old Mrs. Chu nodded, "That's good..."
Mrs. Chu quickly added, "Then you should go see Xiujuan first. Xiujuan is very angry today. I saw that she was not feeling well. I suggested going to the Tuanchang Hospital, but she was unwilling to go."
Chu Tian's expression changed when he heard this, "Xiujuan she..."
Mrs. Chu waved her hand and said, "Okay, go and take a look."
Here, Chu Tian returned to their room and saw Yao Xiujuan sleeping on the kang. He quickly lowered his footsteps and walked carefully to the edge of the kang. When he got closer, he found that although Yao Xiujuan's eyes were closed, her brows were tightly furrowed. She looked very uncomfortable. He felt very heartbroken.
Perhaps it was a telepathy, Yao Xiujuan suddenly opened her eyes and saw Chu Tian looking at her with a distressed expression. Without waiting for Chu Tian's reaction, she sat up and hugged Chu Tian, who had not yet reacted, and sobbed.
"Brother Tian, you are finally back..."
Chu Tian patted her back gently, "I'm back, I'm back, I'm sorry, I'm back late..."
"Xiujuan, you and Xiuli have been wronged. Don't worry, I will help you vent your anger..."
Yao Xiujuan felt extremely at ease in Chu Tian's arms, "Brother Tian, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have felt pity for them at that time. I will never be so kind again..."
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You can't say that. Not everyone is heartless. Some people are still worth helping..."
Yao Xiujuan raised her head from Chu Tian's arms with red eyes, "Brother Tian, don't you blame me?"
Chu Tian shook his head slightly, reached out and tucked the hair off Yao Xiujuan's face behind her ears, and said gently, "Don't blame me. This is not your fault at all. You didn't know he was stabbing you in the back at the time."
Yao Xiujuan sniffed and her eyes turned red again when she heard this. "Brother Tian, thank you..."
Chu Tian patted her back gently and said, "We are family, don't say thank you or no thank you."
Yao Xiujuan nodded, "Well, but Xiuli..."
"You're still pregnant, don't think too much. I'm back, and I'll take care of things. I won't be driving long distances for now, and even if I do, it'll only be to the few regiments around Urumqi."
Chu Tian gently laid Yao Xiujuan down and said, "Rest well. I'll go talk to Captain Sun."
"Um···"
Yao Xiujuan trusted Chu Tian immensely, so when she heard him say that, she nodded obediently and closed her eyes to rest.
Chu Tian thought about it, then bent down again, kissed Yao Xiujuan on the forehead, then turned and walked out.
"Brother-in-law..."
Chu Tian had just closed the door to the main room when he heard Yao Xiuli's voice coming from the side. He turned around and saw that Yao Xiuli had red and swollen eyes like her elder sister, so he frowned.
"Xiu Li, what's wrong with you?"
Yao Xiuli lowered her head, full of apology, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble..."
Chu Tianxin thought that she was still a young girl who had just reached adulthood. If this happened a few decades later, she would be at the age of a college entrance examination candidate. It was normal for her to be afraid when encountering things. After thinking about it, he lowered his voice and comforted her.
"Xiu Li, don't think too much. This is not your fault. Your brother-in-law will never let you suffer any injustice."
Chu Tian raised his wrist and saw that it was almost time for work in the afternoon, so he said, "Xiu Li, my brother-in-law has something else to do. If you don't want to sleep now, why don't you wash your face and help him pack up the things he brought back from the main room?"
Yao Xiuli touched the corner of her eyes and nodded slightly, "Brother-in-law, you are busy, I will go clean up."
Chu Tian nodded, "Well, I brought back a few lavender pillow cores, one of which is for you. After you pack your things, take it back to your room..."
After saying that, Chu Tian pushed his bicycle in the yard and drove towards the brigade headquarters.
"Captain..."
Before Chu Tian finished speaking, Captain Sun waved his hand and motioned Chu Tian to sit down first.
"Chu Tian, you're back."
Chu Tian nodded, "Well, Captain, I..."
Captain Sun interrupted Chu Tian again, "Chu Tian, I know why you came here!"
"Go back and tell Xiujuan and her sister, don't worry, it's nothing serious!"
Chu Tian nodded, "I know it's nothing serious. I just want to ask, what will happen to Chen Jiefang?"
"Captain, forgive me for being blunt. If he openly quarrels with others, or even fights, I wouldn't mind. But if he stabs someone in the back, we can't let him stay in our team!"
"You know, our brigade treated him well. Every time we distributed meat, the educated youth were given half a pound of meat each. Even when they were short of food, our brigade would lend them some in advance. This was a privilege that the educated youth in other brigades had never received..."
"But how will they repay us? Now they can spread lies and frame others behind our backs just because they are jealous of Li Zhiqing, a fellow educated youth, and because they want to return to the city. But what about the future?"
"Will he plot against our entire team in the future just for his own selfish desires?"
Captain Sun's face was as gloomy as the sea. After a while, he knocked on the table and said, "Chu Tian, I understand what you said, so I have already reported to the company commander and moved Chen Jiefang out of the brigade."
Chu Tian frowned, "What do you mean? You mean just drive him away? No punishment?"
Captain Sun waved his hand and said, "There is a punishment, but this punishment is not something our brigade can decide. Now that the matter has reached the regimental headquarters, we must wait until the regimental headquarters holds a meeting to decide."
After a pause, he continued, "However, I don't think the punishment will be too severe. After all, he was just telling lies and didn't cause any actual harm..."
Chu Tian's eyes flickered slightly, "Really? I don't think so..."
Captain Sun was stunned for a moment, "Chu Tian, what do you mean?"
Chu Tian curled his lips and smiled, "It's okay."
"By the way, Captain, what do you think of the side job I suggested to you before I left?"
Captain Sun saw that Chu Tian didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, but answered his questions accordingly.
"I've discussed this with the company commander, and he said our brigade can raise them. However, he plans to use the money in the company account to buy a tractor for the company before the autumn harvest, so if our brigade wants to build a farm, he probably won't contribute..."
