Chapter 1409: You Aren't Going to Deal with Those People

~4 min read 748 words

After giving a few instructions, he had them take the person away.

Turning to Wang Sangyu, he said, "Sister-in-law, Old Guo will be back before noon tomorrow. I will send someone to investigate what caused this behavior of theirs."

He did not say that the couple should make the decision, fearing someone might use it as ammunition.

Wang Sangyu said gratefully, "Thank you all so much for today. When Old Guo returns, come to our house for a drink."

None of them took this matter seriously; after all, they had always gotten along well with Instructor Guo, let alone having been partners before.

After offering a few words of comfort, they finally left.

Arriving at the house next door, Captain Feng's, they said, "Sister-in-law, we came to..."

Before the words "pick up our wives" were finished, they saw Liu Chuxue and Mo Ruhua already standing up from their stools.

Liu Chuxue said to Tang Xinrui, "Sister-in-law, there are still dishes stewing on the stove at home, so we won't sit long. We'll come bother you again when we have time."

Tang Xinrui laughed, "Look at what my sister-in-law says. What 'bothering'? I'm only too happy you could come; it's just right for you to keep me company and talk."

She laughed all the way, seeing them off to the gate outside.

After walking a distance, Mo Ruhua could no longer hold back: "Aren't you going to deal with those people?"

Shen Kaiyuan looked at his wife with amusement: "You don't understand this. If we go over there to question them now, they won't confess willingly. Where would we find so much time to waste on them?"

Hearing the couple's conversation, Fu Yan Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth: "Wife, are you hungry?"

Liu Chuxue nodded lightly: "I am a little hungry."

Fu Yan Cheng reached out and took hold of her arm: "We can start eating as soon as we get home."

Mo Ruhua added, "I thought it would drag on for a while; I didn't expect it to end so quickly."

Shen Kaiyuan said with a touch of irritation: "What should I say to you?"

Mo Ruhua smiled coquettishly: "Then don't say anything else."

Before even entering the courtyard, a fragrant smell hit their noses, and Liu Chuxue's stomach timely let out a 'gurgle-gurgle'.

Fu Yan Cheng laughed along: "It seems the little ones can't wait."

Liu Chuxue disagreed, saying, "It's not that they can't wait; just look at what time it is now?"

Fu Yan Cheng saw his wife already protecting the child in her belly and felt a bit jealous, but his wife's happiness was most important now: "Right, right, right, I misspoke. You sit first; I'll go serve the dishes immediately."

Just as they were starting to eat, the Cui family diagonally opposite began making a fuss: "This is unbearable! Every family is tight on resources, yet fragrant smells come out every single day. They have no sense of public morality at all; they are deliberately tempting my grandson."

Captain Cui saw his mother had forgotten the pain after the wound healed and was about to cause trouble again: "Mom, what did I tell you before? The wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Fu is carrying triplets. That's one person eating to nourish four. The doctor said she should supplement her nutrition as much as possible. Deputy Regiment Commander Fu is of a high rank, so his salary is naturally high. With no burdens at home, of course he is willing to nourish his wife's body. Just say a few less words."

Liu Chuxue's hearing was so good that she naturally heard the conversation in the courtyard next door clearly. Looking at Fu Yan Cheng and Shen Kaiyuan who had just brought out the dishes, she asked, "School has been open for a month now; why haven't that grandfather and his two grandchildren gone back to their hometown yet?"

Mo Ruhua spoke first: "I'm afraid they won't be leaving. Those two children are now attending the military primary school."

After sitting down, Fu Yan Cheng picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, placed it in Liu Chuxue's bowl, and then said, "Captain Cui's hometown is in a county under Tang City, and that area was also hit by the disaster."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue understood: "So that's how it is."

She said nothing else, but in her heart she thought that there would likely be plenty of excitement ahead.
