Chapter 184 "Remarriage"

The police officers were filled with respect.

He stood with his legs together and saluted the leader.

Then, thinking about the commander's health, he frowned so deeply that he could trap a mosquito in his brow. "But there are so many people in the military region, it doesn't necessarily have to be you who goes."

Commander Ning waved his hand.

"I'm tired of staying in the military region, so I'm going out for a walk to clear my head."

He didn't say what he really felt. In fact, ever since he heard about that place, he had been getting headaches more and more often. Several figures flashed through his mind, and he felt a sense of familiarity. Just seeing them made her feel close to them from the bottom of her heart. There was a sense of guilt and sorrow that she couldn't ignore.

This emotion came suddenly.

Chief Ning believes that no emotion in this world is without cause.

Perhaps this trip will help him regain his memories and find his family.

The police officers gradually figured out the leader's temperament; he was incredibly stubborn and domineering, and once he made a decision, no one could change it.

His dark face showed no surprise; he simply said, "Sun Guoshou said he would follow, all for the safety of the commander."

"You've finally returned from enemy territory; we can't let you perish on our own soil. That would be a loss for the troops and a loss for the people," the police officer said solemnly.

Chief Ning pointed at him casually, "You've even given me some valuable information..."

What could he say after the organization had already said that?
"Okay. As long as you don't stop me, I don't care about anything else."

The guard was delighted. "Yes, I'll go tell Sun Guoshou right away and buy the tickets while I'm at it. Please take good care of yourself, sir."

After saying that, he left with firm footsteps.

Commander Ning composed himself, sat properly at his desk, and continued reading the report.

Keeping busy prevents me from overthinking.
-
It’s noon this day.

Lin Zhao received an expedited letter from the capital.

“A letter from the capital…” She looked at Gu Chenghuai, “It should be from one of your comrades-in-arms. I don’t know anyone in the capital.”

Gu Chenghuai tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter inside with his slender fingers, quickly glanced at it, and a strange expression appeared on his handsome and modest face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao asked in a puzzled voice.

He handed the letter over.

The letter was indeed sent by Yun Jian, and its contents made Gu Chenghuai frown.

After reading it, Lin Zhao took two seconds to react, "...Yuan Qin, remarried?"

She sneered.

"She's lost her son and she still wants to remarry. She's really got a big heart."

Gu Chenghuai said frankly, "It was the Yuan family who forced us to do it."

"She nodded." Lin Zhao's eyes were calm, but her lips were taut.

She looked at the letter and said, “New country, new system, everyone stands tall and proud. She doesn’t want to marry, and no one dares to force her. So she still can’t stand up.”

Comrade Yun Jian is a great storyteller. Reading the letter felt like being there, as if the confrontation between the Yuan family and Yuan Qin was right before my eyes.

Lin Zhao shook her head. "Let her be. Anyway, she and Fourth Brother are divorced. They're not related to each other when it comes to marriage. What she does is none of our business."

"Fortunately, Comrade Yun brought Momo and Xiaobai over, otherwise they would have suffered a lot."

A smile flashed in Gu Chenghuai's dark eyes.

"Yun Jian thanked you in his letter, saying that the meat sauce was delicious and his family liked the dried goods very much."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I saw it. I'll send it to him later."

Knowing that Battalion Commander Gu was jealous, he added, "If I were to send it, I would let you know in advance."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenghuai's knotted heart was untied by a cute little figure using both hands and feet.

"No need to do it specially, just add a couple of sentences when you write to me."

Lin Zhao reached out and pinched the man's mouth, "Let me see how tough Battalion Commander Gu's mouth is."

Battalion Commander Gu simply laughed indulgently when his wife teased him.

"Should we tell Fourth Brother about this?" he asked.

Lin Zhao looked thoughtful, then nodded. "Speak. Since we're breaking up, let's break it off cleanly."

She looked at Gu Chenghuai, whose dark, deep eyes reflected her image, his eyes filled with a captivating smile.

Lin Zhao picked at her fingers. "Do you think the Meng family can take off their hats?"

"It's not a big problem." Gu Chenghuai said calmly. "The Meng family's problem isn't serious. They were just dragged down. Fourth Brother has made a great contribution, enough to clear the name of the entire Meng family."

Lin Zhao smiled, “That’s great. The Meng family raised Fourth Brother and taught him how to make a living. It would be good if they could clear his name.”

It's certain that not everyone in the Meng family is a good person; there are always people with flaws in their character, no matter where you are.

but.

The Meng family did indeed do Meng Jiusi a great favor, saving his life and teaching him.

This kindness is heavier than a mountain.

"Zhao Zhao is truly magnanimous," Gu Chenghuai genuinely praised.

Lin Zhao's lips curled up, and her eyebrows were full of joy.

Yes, she is magnanimous.

“Father said that people should be able to distinguish right from wrong. Things in this world are not simply black and white, and there is no perfect person. Everyone has selfish desires. A saint is someone who has no selfish desires, but such a person simply does not exist. If you really encounter such a person, you should be wary, because the other party must have a big plan.”

Gu Chenghuai smiled, as if it were his father-in-law speaking.

"Been taught a lesson."

...

Lin Zhao planned to sneak away from home to the foot of the mountain and was walking out.

Hengbao, with her sharp eyes, called out to her, "Mommy, where are you going? I want to go too."

It had rained last night, and the ground was wet. The four kids and Tiechui were squatting in the corner playing in the mud, while the Lin sisters watched from the side.

Erzai called out to Lin Zhao, and all the other children, along with the two dogs and the monkey, turned to look at her.

Lin Zhao: "..."

"I'm going to the old house to see your sister Alan."

She walked towards the kitchen, saying, "I forgot to get the roe deer meat if you hadn't called me."

He took the meat and eggs and headed towards the door.

Yu Bao stood up and asked in a questioning tone, "Mom, can I help you get your things?"

"No need, it's such a short distance." Afraid of disturbing Erzai and the twins, Lin Zhao secretly winked at him.

The eldest child truly lives up to his reputation as the most considerate child. He understood his mother's meaning and immediately turned back, saying, "Mom, go ahead. Hengbao and I will take good care of our younger siblings."

Hengbao wanted to go, but after hearing what her brother said, she changed her mind. "Yes."

Gu Chenghuai smiled as he watched his wife manage to persuade the twins to stay with just a few words.

Noticing her husband's gaze, Lin Zhao winked at him and carried her things to the old house.

On the way, you're bound to run into elderly men and women chatting idly.

"Chenghuai's family is going to deliver meat to your parents-in-law again. What a filial son."

"Why haven't I seen the four cubs today?"

……

Lin Zhao smiled and nodded, then answered selectively, "The children are playing at home. I have something to do at the old house, so I'll be going now."

As soon as she left, the conversations of the elderly folks revolved around her and her family.

"What about Cheng Huai's family is like us country folk? They're more like city people than the educated youth."

"She is the only daughter of the Lin family, with three older brothers and a capable maternal uncle who is said to be a high-ranking official in the city. She grew up in her uncle's house and is almost like a city dweller!"

"...How lucky you are."

Su and Guan, the educated youth who were going through the process, looked on with full agreement.

They don't have it this comfortable in the city.

When Wang Chunhua saw Su Yi, she smiled and said, "Su Yi, when are you planning to move?"

The two female educated youths built an adobe house, which wasn't difficult. With a few more people helping, they could finish it in two days.

Because of their promise, the team leader arranged for a few more laborers, and the house was almost finished. After a few days of airing it out, the two of them could move in.

The land was in the village, so it was safe and secure, and Su and Guan, the educated youth, were very satisfied.

Thinking about moving out of the educated youth settlement soon, Su Yi smiled and said, "Soon."

Wang Chunhua said warmly, "Congratulations! Please let me know if you need any help."

"Thank you, Auntie." Guan, the educated youth, thanked her and praised her with gentle eyes, "We educated youth are so lucky to have come to our brigade and received help from such a warm-hearted villager as you."

Everyone loves to hear nice things, and Wang Chunhua couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Lin Zhao arrived at the old house. "Third Aunt!"

The children called out enthusiastically.

"This is roe deer meat, and some red dates and brown sugar. Put them in the kitchen so your grandma can make them this afternoon." Lin Zhao handed the things to Xingye.

The boy grinned.

"This is for my sister to help her recover. Okay, I'll accept it without hesitation."

As he spoke, he carried the things into the kitchen.

Alan smiled shyly and said apologetically, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

She looked up at Lin Zhao and said, "My injury is fine now, Third Aunt, you don't need to worry about me all the time. Leave the meat and red dates for Yu Bao and Heng Bao."

Gu Lan is the eldest child in the Gu family. No one asks her to give way to her younger siblings, but the little girl is very grateful and feels that she is already very lucky to be born into the Gu family. She always thinks of the younger siblings when there is something good.

A tender look flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes as she said softly, "They all have them. But you, having lost so much blood, need to replenish it properly to avoid developing any health problems."

"No," Gu Lan said with a sweet smile. "I have chicken soup to drink every day."

She knew that the chickens were a gift from her third aunt, who asked her grandmother to cook them for her.

"Take good care of him," Lin Zhao said.

"Does your head still hurt?" Her gaze fell on Gu Lan's head.

Gu Lan shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, the wound is almost scabbed over."

I just don't know if it will leave a scar.

A scar is no big deal, she doesn't care. She can just get her bangs fixed. A scar for Qianbao to be perfectly healthy, it's totally worth it.

Lin Zhao couldn't bear to see the lovely girl with a scar on her head, so she said, "Don't worry about the scar. I have scar removal ointment here. Once the wound heals, apply it for a while, and it will be completely restored."

Gu Lan was deeply moved.

Before anyone could answer, Huang Xiulan said happily, "There's even a scar-removing cream? It must be very expensive. Thank you, Third Sister-in-law!"

"No need to thank me, she's my own child. Besides, Alan did it for her younger brother." Lin Zhao didn't care.

After finishing her business, she didn't linger and left the old house, heading straight down the mountain.

She wasn't flustered when she encountered villagers. Everyone knew that Lin Zhao loved to stroll at the foot of the mountain, picking flowers, catching fish, or something like that, depending on her mood.

When Lin Zhao found Meng Jiusi, he was cutting pig feed, and Mo Mo and Guang Bai were helping him.

The two children, one big and one small, weren't working very fast, but you could tell they were very enthusiastic.

The two cubs are a bit darker and taller, and they look healthier than when they first arrived.

"Fourth brother."

Meng Jiusi stopped what she was doing and looked over at the sound. "Zhaozhao, what brings you here now?"

"Something's up," Lin Zhao said.

Upon hearing this, Meng Jiusi shooed his son away and asked, "What is it?"

“Cheng Huai’s comrades in the capital sent a letter…” Lin Zhao paused slightly before continuing, “The letter said that Comrade Yuan has remarried.”

Meng Jiusi remained rooted to the spot.

He didn't expect that.

It wasn't that I didn't expect Yuan Qin to remarry, but rather that I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

How long has it been?
It had been less than six months since his accident.

Less than a month has passed since my son's accident.

so funny.

Meng Jiusi forced a smile upwards, making it look awkward.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

"She was a weak woman and trusted the Yuan family too much, so it was to my surprise that she was manipulated."

Meng Jiusi said in a calm tone, "I'm divorced from her, so we have no relationship to begin with. From now on, besides being the biological mother of Momo and Xiaobai, Comrade Yuan is just a stranger to me who isn't very familiar with me."

Lin Zhao nodded in satisfaction when she saw that her fourth brother was very clear-headed.

Very good, very much like the Lin family.

"What will you do when the news of the Meng family's restoration of glory gets out and she comes knocking on your door?" she asked again.

Meng Jiusi's gaze was cold. "I can look after the child, but I have nothing to say to her."

He pursed his slightly dry lips, looking very serious, clearly having given this matter considerable thought.

"She is a married woman, and I am all alone. I need to be careful to avoid suspicion."

Lin Zhao corrected, "Fourth Brother has family. If you count carefully, there are more than ten blood relatives. How can he be a lone wolf? Don't talk nonsense."

Meng Jiusi laughed, "Yes, I was just talking nonsense."

He wanted to pat his sister's head, but seeing his hands were dirty, he withdrew them and urged, "Let's go back."

"There's something else, my second brother got divorced," Lin Zhao said.

Meng Jiusi was stunned.

After a few seconds of reaction, he exclaimed, "How could this be?"

"Incompatibility in their relationship," Lin Zhao summarized in four words.

"...I understand. I'll be careful when I talk to my second brother." Meng Jiusi felt that his family was indeed too ahead of their time, bringing one shock after another.

"Hmm." Lin Zhao hummed in agreement, walked towards Mo Mo and Xiao Bai, stuffed a bag of meat strips into their mouths as snacks, and then left.

The two children washed their hands before eating.

"Auntie is so nice, I like Auntie." Xiaobai's voice was childish yet sincere.

Mo Mo nodded seriously, "I like it too."

He disliked his uncle's family the most.
-
Before long, it was time for Gu Chenghuai to return to the team.

The four children were very reluctant to see their father go back to his unit.

Yao Bao hugged her father's neck, looking confused, and said in a childish voice, "Don't go, Daddy, don't go."

She stared at her father with her clear, big eyes as she spoke.

Yu Bao grabbed his little sister's hand and earnestly explained to her, "Daddy is a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders..."

Yao Bao shook her head, her little braids swinging, "I won't listen, Bao won't listen."

She buried her face in her father's neck and closed her eyes, as if ignoring it would prevent it from happening.

Lin Zhao hugged Yu Bao and said, "Don't even think about trying to persuade your sister. She's still young and doesn't understand."

When Yao Bao heard this, the little bundle of milk quickly opened her eyes and said repeatedly, "Bao Dong, Bao Dong!"

The cunning little man is unwilling to admit defeat.

"Okay, okay, you understand," Lin Zhao said gently.

She left Gu Chenghuai with the children while she went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Just as he was busy working, Gu's mother came over, bringing with her homemade pickles and insoles and socks she had made for her son.

"Third son's wife, Cheng Huai loves my pickles, so I'm giving him some to take on the road, along with a few pairs of insoles and socks..."

Lin Zhao didn't stand on ceremony, "Alright, he can stay inside with the child. Mother, go and talk to him."

"There's nothing to say, let him spend some time with the child." Gu's mother didn't disturb him.

Seeing his third son's wife kneading dough, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Make some pancakes for Chenghuai to take on the road," Lin Zhao replied.

Mother Gu was delighted, "I'll help."

He quickly washed his hands and went into the kitchen to help.

The old lady shouldn't be too happy that her daughter-in-law treats her son well.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked for more than an hour and made a lot of food that could be stored.

When Gu Chenghuai learned that his wife had prepared food for him, his heart warmed as if he were soaking in warm water, and a smile appeared at the corner of his eye.

This was the first time he had received such treatment; so this is what it felt like.

That night, he devoted all his energy to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao: "..." I don't know whether I lost or gained.

Before falling asleep, she kept her eyelids open, her voice slightly hoarse, "...Don't forget to wake me up tomorrow morning, I want to take you there."

If you don't call me, you're doomed.

Before he could finish his threatening words, he fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at his wife's dazed expression, Gu Chenghuai's handsome face was full of tenderness and satisfaction, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

His wife is really good to him.
