A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

The reason the guard came to find Qin Yuanzheng was because Deng Weijun mentioned Qiao Lanshu's name, saying that they were relatives.

But Deng Weijun didn't dare to mention his sister Deng Xiaozhen and brother-in-law Yang Wenyan's names.

He was afraid that Deng Xiaozhen would break his legs.

Moreover, Yang Wenyan is the factory director, and he usually has a lot of authority. What if he gets angry and fires Deng Weijun on the spot?

Deng Weijun was actually quite afraid of his brother-in-law.

He felt that Qiao Lanshu was gentle and easy to talk to, so he asked Qiao Lanshu to help him get out of the police station. Then he kept the matter quiet and didn't let his sister and brother-in-law know. Wasn't everything alright?

To his utter surprise, someone even more terrifying than his brother-in-law arrived.

Qin Yuanzheng, dressed in a crisp military uniform, stood in front of the detention cell with a cold and stern expression, staring at him through the iron bars.

Judging from his somber expression, he seemed to be carrying a hint of anger.

Deng Weijun: "..."

Deng Weijun was so frightened that his legs went weak. He stammered, "Qin, Qin, Commander Qin..."

Qin Yuanzheng said, "Come out."

The police officer next to him had already opened the door, and Deng Weijun nervously came out of the detention cell.

Qiao Lanshu was sitting on a chair in the lobby. When she saw them come out, she immediately stood up. When she saw Deng Weijun, she asked with concern, "Comrade Deng Weijun, are you alright?"

Deng Weijun smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law, I'm fine."

Li Jianlin, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, was also present. He and Qin Yuanzheng were old acquaintances, so he added, "Deng Weijun, you should stay away from those people in the future. Who knows what you might do wrong? Consider this a lesson learned, understand?"

Deng Weijun nodded with a sullen face: "I understand."

Qin Yuanzheng asked Li Jianlin, "Do we need to pay bail?"

Li Jianlin: "Of course, ten yuan. Sign here and put your fingerprint on it, then you can leave."

Qin Yuanzheng walked over, took out a stack of ten-yuan notes from his pocket, pulled one out and placed it on the table, then signed and sealed it, and led Deng Weijun out of the Public Security Bureau.

Deng Weijun was heartbroken when he heard that the bail was ten yuan.

Ten yuan! That's almost a third of his salary. His monthly salary is only 35 yuan!

He didn't dare speak to Qin Yuanzheng, but only dared to stand close to Qiao Lanshu and whisper to her, "Sister-in-law, thank you for coming to protect me this time. I'll pay you back the ten yuan tomorrow, but please, please don't tell my sister about this. My sister will break my legs, really! She really will break my legs!"

Deng Weijun lived in the staff dormitory. He and Deng Xiaozhen did not work in the same factory, so they did not see each other often.

But he has been afraid of his sister since he was a child. His sister has beaten him a lot since he was a child.

This time, he left his hometown and came to Longcheng City to stay with his sister. His parents told Deng Xiaozhen to keep a close eye on him, and that if he dared to commit a crime, his sister would not let him off the hook.

Seeing Deng Weijun's pitiful state, Qiao Lanshu asked him, "What exactly happened today? The police said that you and your gang went to someone's yard and peeped at them while they were bathing? Is that true?"

Of course, this might not be true, which is why the Public Security Bureau released the person without alerting the Revolutionary Committee.

If it's true, once the other party reports it to the Revolutionary Committee, there's no need to notify the factory. Deng Weijun might already be on the bus to the labor camp right now.

Qiao Lanshu thought Deng Weijun shouldn't be that kind of person, right?

Speaking of this, Deng Weijun felt extremely unlucky.

He whispered, "Sister-in-law, of course it's not true! I went out for a stroll with Zheng Daliu and the others. They said they were going to a friend's house for a few drinks and asked me to check if anyone was home. I hadn't even seen anyone yet when I heard them being kicked out, saying there were girls taking a bath inside and they were peeping! This is really like a mouse drinking cat milk, so exciting!"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Deng Weijun added, "Whether they were peeping or not, I don't know. I certainly wasn't. Am I that kind of person? Anyway, that woman wasn't exactly attractive. She was in her forties or fifties and still claimed to be a young woman. It was the middle of the day, and there was no heating, yet she was taking a shower inside. Who knows what was going on?"

As Qin Yuanzheng watched Deng Weijun and Qiao Lanshu getting closer and closer, he reached out, put his arm around Qiao Lanshu's shoulder, pulled her into his arms, and turned to stare coldly at Deng Weijun, saying, "Don't associate with those people anymore. They have criminal records, don't you know that?"

When Deng Weijun was stared at by his cold gaze, he subconsciously shrank his neck and said, "I, I don't know. They are all employees of our factory. We are all colleagues. We often chat and play cards together."

Qin Yuanzheng said, "They were arrested this time because they're not innocent. You'd better watch yourself in the future. If something like this happens again, I'll have your sister bail you out."

He only helped bail out Deng Weijun today because of his cousin Yang Wenyan; otherwise, he wouldn't bother with such matters.

Deng Weijun was so intimidated by what he said that he didn't dare to utter a sound.

He used to be incredibly noisy around Qiao Lanshu, but now he's like a quail. He quickly nodded and said, "I know, I won't dare to do it again."

This lesson was enough; how could he dare to go out and fool around with those people again?

Qin Yuanzheng got into the car with Qiao Lanshu. It gets dark quickly in winter, and it was already pitch black.

It's windy at night, so I'd better go home early and lie down on the kang (heated brick bed).

Qiao Lanshu said in a low voice, "Did Weijun have someone put him on lookout duty at the door this time?"

Qin Yuanzheng turned to look at her, his face grim. He said, "Weijun? You're that familiar with him?"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu had just said it casually, and she said shyly, "No, but he's a really nice person."

Qin Yuanzheng felt uneasy.

But he's so old, he can't possibly argue with his eighteen-year-old wife over such a small matter.

That would make him seem petty.

He was silent for a while before saying, "Deputy Director Li of the Public Security Bureau just told me that this guy named Zheng Daliu is no good. He used to rob people and beat them up. He was only able to get a job in the factory because of good times, but after all these years, he hasn't changed his nature. I heard he's also a gambler."

Qiao Lanshu didn't know Zheng Daliu. In her previous life, she joined the factory two years later. At that time, not only was Zheng Daliu not there, but even Deng Weijun wasn't in the factory.

She had only been at work for a short time this time and hadn't seen Zheng Daliu.

She said, "Hearing what you're saying, it seems that person really isn't a good person. He might actually have been peeping at women bathing and had Deng Weijun keep watch for him. These people are really wicked."

Qin Yuanzheng drove in silence for a while, and after a few minutes, he couldn't help but ask Qiao Lanshu, "You seem quite concerned about Deng Weijun?"

Qiao Lanshu exclaimed "Ah!" and laughed, "No, not really. But I guess we're friends? He's a really nice guy. Oh, and he gave me a pear at noon, saying it was transported from some county. It was so sweet!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road, leaned in, and looked closely at Qiao Lanshu. Qiao Lanshu, pressed tightly against the car seat, looked at him with a flushed face: "Brother Zheng, what, what's wrong?"

Why does Qin Yuanzheng look so unhappy? What did she say wrong again?

Qin Yuanzheng looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Why are you still eating food given to you by other men? Haven't I fed you properly these past few days?"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."
