Zheng Weiguo was speechless when questioned by Lu Yao.
He promised Dong Jiefang not to tell Yaoyao. This was what Dong Na had specifically confessed before her death. She did not want Yaoyao to feel resentful.
But Yaoyao was right.
As a child, if your parents are wronged but can't vent your anger for them, then you are in vain.
After much thought, Zheng Weiguo finally told the truth.
Back then, the eldest brother took advantage of his departure to frame Dong Na for seducing a man, and even found a man to catch him in bed. Fortunately, the second brother and sister-in-law found out early and subdued the man before a big mistake was made. .
Because of this, the second brother and the second sister-in-law are still resented by the eldest brother and the others.
"Your second uncle was worried that they would attack your mother again and couldn't protect her, so he asked your mother to go home."
For the sake of family harmony, the second brother and second sister-in-law never told him. It was not until he decided to go to Chen City to find Dong Na that they told him what happened that year.
At that time, he really wanted to kill Zheng Baoguo and his wife.
Lu Yao clenched her fists and stood up suddenly, "I'm going to kill them!"
Zheng Weiguo stretched out his hand to hold her, "Yao Yao, listen to me, leave this matter to me. Your mother is my woman. If you want revenge, I will take revenge!"
Lu Yao shook his hand away hard, her chest filled with anger.
She thought her mother was just kicked out by the Zheng family, but she didn't expect to encounter this.
Fortunately, she didn't succeed. She couldn't imagine how devastated her mother would be if she was defiled.
She will never let them go easily!
"You said you wanted revenge, but after so many years, what have you done?"
Lu Yao snorted, "He is your brother, will you kill him?"
Zheng Weiguo sighed, "Yao Yao, you must think that I started to take revenge on them because I found you, but I have been preparing since your second uncle told me. I know that no matter how much I say, you will think that I You are making excuses, but I will never allow you to take action."
Yaoyao has never done anything bad and can easily be caught by Zheng Baoguo. When Zheng Baoguo rebels against his army, all his plans will be disrupted.
"Yao Yao, I know you feel uncomfortable. I will tell you when it's time for you to take action."
Lu Yao stared into his eyes and said, "Give me a deadline."
Zheng Weiguo: "Two months, two months at the latest."
Lu Yao nodded, "Okay, this is what you said. If the result is not satisfactory to me, I will go directly to your house."
Zheng Weiguo promised: "I will do a good job."
Lu Yao turned away, "I want to go to the hospital to see your mother."
Zheng Weiguo didn't answer.
Lu Yao smiled sarcastically, "What, are you afraid that I will piss her off?"
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Lu Yao: "No need, I'll go by myself."
Old Mrs. Zheng was related to Zheng Weiguo and stayed in the military hospital.
When Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie came over, Mrs. Zheng hadn't woken up yet.
Looking at Old Mrs. Zheng through the window, who was covered in tubes, Lu Yao sneered. It seemed that she was indeed very angry.
Lu Yao really wanted to go over and pull out her needle and let her go.
But thinking about it, it was too cheap for her.
She was waiting for the day when Mrs. Zheng and the others would kneel in front of their mother’s memorial tablet and repent!
After coming out of the hospital, Duan Mingjie saw two jeeps stopping at the door at the same time, and seven or eight soldiers in military uniforms got out of the vehicles.
Two middle-aged soldiers who looked to be in their forties were walking in front, taking three steps at a time. As they walked, they said, "Is Lao Duan really awake?"
"Nonsense, the hospital can still trick us?"
Soon the soldiers disappeared from the sight of Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao.
Lu Yao blinked and turned around to see Duan Mingjie's dazed eyes.
Lu Yao scratched his palm, "What are you thinking about?"
Duan Mingjie suddenly came to his senses, "Nothing, let's go."
Lu Yao hummed, held his arm and said, "I feel that the feelings between comrades are really something we can't understand. Look at how anxious and happy the uncles were when they heard that their comrades had woken up. I really envy this feeling.”
Even better than relatives.
After speaking, Lu Yao didn't wait for a response and turned around to see Duan Mingjie thinking deeply.
Lu Yao stopped, Duan Mingjie was still walking forward, and their hands were still holding. Duan Mingjie felt the pulling movement and stopped quickly.
He looked at Lu Yao in confusion, "Daughter-in-law, why don't you leave?"
Lu Yao walked over and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded? You didn't hear what I was talking to you."
Duan Mingjie frowned, quickly regained his composure, and smiled at her, "I was thinking about something just now. What did you say to me?"
Lu Yao looked at him, but he didn't look like he was okay.
"what's on your mind?"
Duan Mingjie smiled bitterly, "I'm thinking of some unrealistic ideas."
He thought too well.
My eldest brother has been sacrificed for so many years, how could he still be alive?
If the eldest brother was still alive, the army would not hide it from them.
There are so many people with the surname Duan across the country, he is really crazy to think so.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Lu Yao didn't force him.
This is like an invisible consensus reached between the couple. They allow each other to have their own little secrets. As long as their feelings and principles are not touched, they will never force the other party to keep anything secret.
Lu Yao asked in a soft voice, "Are you feeling better now?"
"It's okay, let's go."
When the two returned home, there were several people waiting for them at the door. There were two briquette stoves on the ground and a pile of briquettes next to them.
Zheng Weiguo moved very quickly and found someone to deliver it so quickly.
Duan Mingjie opened the door and let people in. One was placed in the kitchen and the other was placed in the living room.
Several people helped raise the stove, told Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie how to use it, and also gave instructions on the precautions for using the briquette stove, especially when it was placed in the living room.
"Never put a briquette stove in the bathroom to keep warm when taking a shower."
Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao responded one by one.
Duan Mingjie gave them money, and the leader said that Chief Zheng had given it to them.
Duan Mingjie thanked them and sent them out.
When Duan Mingjie came back, Lu Yao was warming up in the room.
Duan Mingjie sat down next to her, "I won't have to go out to collect firewood from now on."
Lu Yao stretched out her hand and hummed, "It's quite warm."
Looking at his wife's white and thin hands, Duan Mingjie couldn't help but hold her in his arms like a child.
Lu Yao also liked being held by him, burying her cheek in his chest and absorbing his breath.
"Duan Mingjie, when are we going back to Duanjia Village?"
Duan Mingjie gently rubbed her little hand and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her on the mouth, "When do you want to go back?"
"I'll listen to you."
Duan Mingjie rubbed her face, "Want to celebrate the New Year in the capital?"
"I think so, but we don't have any relatives here. Grandma Yue also told me that after the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Director Zhao will pick her up and send her over after the Lantern Festival. Just the two of us will celebrate the New Year here. How boring."
Lu Yao hugged Duan Mingjie's waist and said in a soft voice, "I think clearly, as well as Yanyan and Zhiwei, the two children must have been looking forward to our return for a long time. If we don't go back, the children will be very sad."
