Chapter 67: If you don't want people to know, don't do it yourself

Northeast, Cadre Sanatorium—

In a leisure room with a heated kang, a group of old men and women were playing mahjong and leaf cards with high spirits to pass the time.

Just then, Old Master Gu had just finished playing mahjong and lost.

The communicator came over and whispered in his ear. A smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly spat out the radish greens he had been chewing on—

"Not playing anymore, not playing anymore. My Yinyin sent a telegram; I'll play another day."

"Pfft, stinky old man, if you can't afford to lose, don't play. Every single day, you only know how to slip away when you lose."

"Hah, say that again, if you have the guts, let's have a one-on-one~"

"One-on-one it is!"

Two old people with a combined age of over a hundred fighting?

No, their one-on-one was a battle of words.

Relying on his foul mouth, Old Master Gu soon won the victory. Like a rooster that had won a battle, he held his head high and chest out as he left the leisure room.

When he arrived at the communication room, the communicator accompanied him. It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to eavesdrop on the content, but for those in communications, this was an iron order.

It took time to transfer the call, and Old Master Gu pondered why his granddaughter had suddenly contacted him.

After the call was connected, he heard his granddaughter sobbing as she finished telling the ins and outs of what happened, as well as her suspicions. Old Master Gu's breathing became rapid, and he clutched his chest, unable to catch his breath!

"Grandfather?"

"Old Master."

"Quick, quick-acting heart pills!"

After a chaotic scene, Gu Yinyin was spinning around in anxiety, not daring to hang up the phone at all.

After a long time, her grandfather's hoarse voice came from the receiver—

"Yinyin, after your brother gets home, tell him the situation and let him investigate!"

"Our Gu family is not a place where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be your sister-in-law!"

After saying this, there was another chaotic scene on the other end of the receiver, and the sound of *beep-beep-beep* came from the receiver; someone had hung up!

Gu Yinyin was at a loss. Since things had come to this, she had to follow her grandfather's instructions and tell her brother everything when he got home!

She had thought her sister-in-law was a good person for helping her; she had misunderstood her sister-in-law before!

Unexpectedly, it was just that the other party acted more perfectly!

Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly went to her brother's room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets...

In a box in the wardrobe, she found their marriage certificate!

The name on it was clearly—

Lu, Manman!

Shouldn't her sister-in-law's surname be Lu?

Wrong, all wrong. Who is this person!

A dove occupying a magpie's nest; what on earth is going on!

Over in the Capital, the matter of Lu Manman and her mother intentionally snatching the marriage and replacing the bride was about to be exposed. No matter what kind of waves it would cause, it would no longer affect the three generations of the Lu family.

The next day was bright and sunny, with a clear sky for ten thousand miles.

Old Master Lu changed into a lightweight Zhongshan suit, not as thick as the one he wore in the Capital.

"The temperature in the tropical region is still suitable. The Capital is so cold at this time."

"You're right, old sir, but also wrong. The temperature on our Sea Island is quite comfortable at this time, but tropical regions have their own disadvantages.

Although the 'back-to-south' season is short, every year from May to November is typhoon season. Strong typhoons will blow down tree trunks and utility poles, and cause water and power outages; it's very troublesome."

Wang Mingkui chatted casually while handing out sweet potato porridge for breakfast to the guests.

"What should we do when a typhoon comes?"

Old Master Lu asked with interest. In the past, he only heard news about the Sea Island on the radio or TV.

At that time, his heart would be tied in a knot. His grandson was participating in disaster relief, and he couldn't sleep peacefully, always worried.

"What else can we do? Hide, of course. As long as you don't go out and hide in the house, it's not a big problem."

Wang Mingkui laughed out loud. Originally, she had some reservations about this old gentleman yesterday.

But now, seeing that the old man was very approachable, she relaxed.

"Sister Wang, I want a portion of sweet potato porridge too."

Shen Man queued up behind her grandfather, trying her best to ignore the prying eyes around her.

"Comrade Shen, let's go to the seaside to catch seafood later. Do you want to come along?"

The speaker was Ye Qinghong, a round-faced prospective military wife.

Shen Man remembered her; she was the first military wife to take the initiative to greet her.

"Sure, can I bring my grandfather? The old man hasn't caught seafood before and is very interested."

Ye Qinghong nodded and smiled brightly:

"Of course you can. We're just catching some seafood to improve our meals. The old man can just do whatever he likes."

"Great, then let's go together later."

Hearing this, Shen Man smiled.

She gave Ye Qinghong a beauty shock, and her face flushed with a blush.

This Comrade Shen is truly attractive.

Not to mention the male comrades, even she couldn't help but be attracted...

"Hey, come back to your senses."

Zhao Cuicui pushed Ye Qinghong in front and teased:

"If Battalion Commander Liu sees you staring at a female comrade, will he get jealous?"

"You, stop talking nonsense."

Ye Qinghong's face turned even redder, and the other prospective military wives also let out kind laughter.

Only one person, as always, looked at Shen Man with displeasure...

Isn't it just having a face of a vixen, hooking up with people everywhere, not even letting go of female comrades!

*Pfft. *

At this moment, Wang Mingkui, who was serving porridge, noticed Sun Meili's unkind gaze. She immediately tapped the stainless steel bucket, and her voice grew louder, filled with a strong warning that resounded through the small dining room—

"Sun Meili, do you not want your eyeballs anymore? Why are you glaring at Comrade Shen?

I'm warning you, we are all military wives. We must help each other, stabilize the rear, and let our husbands serve the country without worries!

If you target Comrade Shen again and play dirty tricks, I'll have my man, the Political Commissar, directly reject your marriage application with your partner, and you can just roll back to wherever you came from!"

"I—I didn't, I—"

Sun Meili's face turned pale instantly. The eyes looking at her from all directions were filled with scrutiny, disgust, hatred, and contempt, as if looking at something dirty!

"The eyes of the masses are sharp. Don't try to quibble with me. Do you think you're being subtle?

Please, use your brain. If you don't want people to know, don't do it yourself!

To tell you the truth, there are others. My man is the Political Commissar; in terms of military discipline in the troops, my man has the final say.

Don't let me find out who is playing tricks or making small moves. My man is not a pushover!"

Wang Mingkui didn't mind using her husband's power to intimidate. Besides, this intimidation today wouldn't bring trouble to her man, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Wuwuwu."

Sun Meili covered her face and ran away. She didn't even eat breakfast and ran straight back to her room...

"Alright, it's fine now. Everyone, drink your porridge quickly; it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Understood."

The prospective military wives nodded obediently. The Political Commissar was not a small official; they weren't brainless like Sun Meili...

Old Master Lu had been silent the whole time, feeling grateful to the many military wives who spoke up for his granddaughter and protected her.

That's right.

In the family compound, military wives should have such a sense of unity! ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
