Tian Mi turned an inquiring look to her mother-in-law, not understanding what was going on with Aunt Gu just now.
Zhong Yuxiu asked everyone to sit down and take a rest: "Do you know about Fan Juan's incident?"
"I know." Tian Mi picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The nanny in their family is actually Fan Juan's biological sister. In the past, she and Xiao Gu had a very good relationship."
After hearing this, Tian Mi understood what was going on with Aunt Gu's strange expression just now: "Aunt Gu was tricked by someone?"
Zhong Yuxiu was peeling grapes for her granddaughter: "There is no important news. At most, she mentioned the time of her return home a few times, and the last time we went out to swim in Kunming Lake. In fact, these are not something that cannot be said. They are not secrets."
"But the other party used the information obtained from Aunt Gu and did something bad, so Aunt Gu feels guilty?" Tian Mi continued what her mother-in-law had not said.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded: "Yes, since Fan Juan and her sister were arrested by the security department yesterday, Xiao Gu has been like this. What do you think?"
Tian Mi thought for a few seconds before saying, "How can I view this? Although I was very angry that Huihui and the children were in danger, my aunt did not say anything. It was the Fan sisters who were paranoid. No wonder even others... Hmm. Has the person been arrested? So soon?"
"He was arrested yesterday, Lao Chen." Thinking of the incredible look on Lao Chen's face when the security department came to arrest him yesterday, Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help shaking her head again: "Lao Chen was also taken away, but your father said that he was mostly not involved. Although this man has flaws in his character in marriage, he dare not make big mistakes in his career, so he will be released soon. Of course, early retirement is the best outcome. It is not impossible to be fired forever. It all depends on how the higher-ups decide."
"If you ask me, he deserves it." Tian Mi has no sympathy for such a person. He can even be said to be gloating over his misfortune. It is all retribution.
Although Zhong Yuxiu felt that it was retribution, after all, they had been neighbors for so many years that she couldn't speak so recklessly to her daughter-in-law, so she swallowed back the complaint that was about to come out of her mouth.
Just then, Aunt Gu came over with a big bowl of sweet soup. After putting it on the table, she raised her hand to wipe it on her apron, looked at Lou Luhui several times, and didn't know what to say in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Tian Mi winked at her husband.
Lou Luhui understood and stood up, and greeted the reserved boy beside him, and said to Aunt Gu: "Aunt, this is Tiantian's nephew. He will go to the island with us in a few days. Please prepare a room for him."
Seeing that Lu Hui's attitude was the same as usual, Aunt Gu thought he didn't know what had happened yet and subconsciously looked at Yuxiu.
Ms. Zhong smiled and said, "The children all know it. I told you, don't take it personally. The children won't blame you. Tiantian also said just now that it's not your fault. It's the Fan sisters who have bad hearts. You just like to imagine things. Let's prepare a room for the child first. Oh, and bring him some more food. Look how thin the child is."
The main problem was Xiaojun, the kid, who didn’t even touch the bowl just now, probably because he felt embarrassed.
"Hey! Hey! I'll go right away. Xiaojun, right? Come with me." After getting the promise, Aunt Gu smiled immediately. Her heart, which had been anxious since yesterday, finally calmed down. She originally thought that she was going to be chased away. Thinking of this, she raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Gu has been working at home for more than ten years. She has always been an honest person. Seeing her like this, Zhong Yuxiu felt uncomfortable. She sighed secretly and said in dissatisfaction: "How can you call me aunt? You and I are the same age, but Xiao Jun calls me grandma, but calling you aunt makes me look so old! No, no, you have to be grandma too, Grandma Gu."
"Okay, okay, Xiaojun, call me grandma too."
When Lou Zhan came back in the evening, it was already very late.
The food was being warmed in the kitchen. Commander Lou, who only had two bites of dinner, did not rush upstairs. He was worried about disturbing the children, so he sat in the kitchen with the guards to have dinner.
Halfway through the meal, he saw his son coming over, and he wasn't surprised: "Would you like some too?"
Lou Luhui leaned against the door frame and shook his head: "It's too late, you didn't have dinner again?"
"I ate it." Lou Zhan opened his mouth and spoke.
Lou Zhan laughed and scolded: "Stop complaining, you little brat. Am I the kind of person who is afraid of my son?"
Lou Luhui also smiled: "You are not afraid of me, so I decided to wait and tell Mom."
Lou Zhan choked: "Ahem, Qian Shun has been found out."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui stopped joking and asked, "Who is he?"
When they set out, Qian Shun was also taken back by the security department of the local army. Now, more than two days have passed, and it is time for the results to be investigated.
"His name is not Qian Shun, his real name is Zhou Dahai."
Zhou? Lou Luhui frowned, his mind racing: "With the Zhou Peng from three years ago?"
Lou Zhan nodded: "It's father and son. We checked Zhou Peng's family background back then, but it was obviously not thorough enough. The people who raised Zhou Peng were not his biological parents. This matter was kept secret, and none of the relatives and neighbors knew about it."
Lou Luhui still didn't understand: "What hatred do they have with our family? Is there any other grudge?"
"No. Seriously speaking, it's probably just a struggle between an infatuated man and a resentful woman. Zhou Peng is the child born to Fan Juan and Zhou Dahai when she was 16 years old."
"How is that possible? Then how did she become a soldier?" Nowadays, soldiers have to undergo various physical examinations, but as soon as he said this, Lou Luhui came back to his senses from his astonishment.
Yes, there were no art troupes twenty years ago, and liberation had not yet taken place, so things were indeed not that strict. Coupled with management issues, it was easy to get away with it.
Lou Zhan drank the last mouthful of soup, put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile: "Have you figured it out?"
Lou Luhui pinched his brows and said, "What a mess. Does Deputy Commander Chen know about this?"
"Hmph! You know? Of course I don't know. If it weren't for Deputy Commander Chen's indulgence, which has spoiled Fan Juan to the point of being ignorant of the heavens and the earth, would she dare to attack my son?" Lou Zhan sneered repeatedly, and at the end, he slammed the table hard.
"Commander, your wife should be asleep." Xiao Zhang, who got up to pick up the leftovers, reminded at the right time.
Lou Zhan: "Okay, the follow-up matters cannot be resolved for the time being. I will tell you when they are resolved. When are you leaving? Let Xiao Zhang buy the tickets."
Lou Lu replied: "The day after tomorrow, buy one more. Tiantian brought a nephew to the island to serve in the army."
Lou Zhan knew that his daughter-in-law had a quota for military service, so he didn't find it strange. He nodded, but when he walked up the stairs, he asked curiously, "Didn't you say it was reserved for the fourth child in the family?"
Speaking of the eccentric fourth sister, Lou Lu smiled and said, "That girl has other plans."
"Oh? What are you planning?"
