Mi Xaing 'er asked leisurely, "Yun Jingting, you already knew about my mother's situation. Why was she in the shelter in Guangdong? Tell me more about it."
"Ah." Yun Laohu sighed. She did not feel good talking about this. "I heard that one night, the police intercepted a boat that was trying to smuggle people across the sea. Your mother was also on the beach at that time."
Then …
She was trying to smuggle people across the sea?
Mi Xaing 'er frowned. "Where was she planning to go?"
"Let me finish. When your mother was found, she was already mentally unstable. The police investigated for a period of time, but they still couldn't close the case. No one could tell if she was trying to smuggle people across the sea or commit suicide. There was no way to convict her, so she could only be placed in the local shelter."
Oh …
I see.
Mi Xaing 'er was speechless.
She knew very well that when the Tang Xiling left home, her mental state was completely normal.
How did she end up at the beach in Guangdong?
Smuggled people across the sea?
Committed suicide?
Or was she mentally ill?
No matter what happened, there must be something hidden in the middle. Outsiders really had no way of knowing the cause and process of the incident.
Mi Xaing 'er lowered her head and quickly calculated in her mind. Based on the speed of transportation in that era, it would take more than a week for the Tang Xiling to return from Guangdong to the county. In other words, Yun Laohu already knew about this situation before registering with her.
She was a little moved. "Yun Jingting, not only is my mother mentally ill, but she is also suspected of being a stowaway. If it is confirmed that she was really a stowaway, this will be a big deal. My whole family will be implicated. I have such a family background, and you're still willing to register with me. Are you stupid?"
Yun Laohu bared his big white teeth and laughed lightly. His voice was soft like a low cello. "I'm stupid. No matter what happened to your mother, she is her, and you are you. Anyway, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. No matter if you're good, bad, poor, or rich, it's all for the rest of my life."
Mi Xaing did not say anything.
She had nothing to say.
A man like this should be considered rare and precious, right?
The next morning.
The day is just dawning.
Mi Xaing 'er heard the courtyard door open. She did not sleep well that night. After all, she had a "patient" sleeping beside her, so she had to be alert.
As soon as he heard the noise, he quickly sat up.
He turned his head and looked to his side.
The Tang Xiling was still sleeping soundly. It was probably because she was finally home and could be with her family. Her body and mind were completely relaxed.
With the help of the rising sun, Mi Er-xiang looked at her carefully. She had delicate eyebrows and fair skin. Although she was over 40 years old and had suffered some hardships, it was still difficult to hide the "exquisiteness" of a lady from a respectable family. At this moment, she was quiet and did not speak. She did not have the strangeness and hostility from last night. She lay on her side and curled up like a harmless kitten.
Just as she was looking carefully, someone was whispering in the courtyard. The voice was getting softer and softer, as if the person was running towards the backyard.
Mi Xaing 'er looked through the window and saw Yun Jingting's broad back disappear in a flash.
She was a little curious. Who was it that came so early in the morning?
She quickly got up, tidied her hair in front of the mirror, and quickly followed out.
As soon as she turned the corner, Mi Xaing 'er almost burst out laughing.
She saw Fu Bowen's small body crouching as he hid between two dense Chinese roses. She didn't know where he had learned to do this, but he had specially broken off two branches. One of the branches formed a circle, like a guerrilla in a movie, and placed it on his head. The other branch was held in his hand, half covering his head and face. From the looks of it, he was trying to "hide".
This child was really "sneaky".
Mi Xaing 'er tiptoed over and quietly kicked him from behind.
Fu Bowen shuddered in fright.
He immediately turned his head.
She raised her chin and mouthed silently, "What are you doing?"
Fu Bowen giggled. There was a hint of shamelessness in his smile. Coupled with the mischievous and quick-witted look in his eyes, he looked a little like Yun Laohu's "charm" when she was acting coquettishly.
He mimicked her and mouthed silently, "Sis, why are you here?"
Mi Xaing 'er ignored him and looked through the gaps in the dense leaves. She saw Yun Jingting standing in the courtyard and talking to Wu Zhiwen.
It turned out that this kid wanted to eavesdrop.
She reached out and pulled his ear. "Scram!"
Fu Bowen hugged his two small shoulders, shrunk his thin neck, and immediately ran along the wall.
When he was about to turn the corner, he turned back and bared his teeth at Mi Xaing 'er and stuck out his tongue to make a funny face.
She bent down to pick up a small stone and pretended to throw it. Fu Bowen dodged it like a rabbit and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Seeing that he had left, Mi Xaing 'er was a little curious. What was this child eavesdropping on?
She couldn't help but bend down and stand under the Chinese rose tree.
She heard Wu Zhifei's anxious voice. "Tiger, are you trying to make me anxious?"
Yun Jingting laughed involuntarily. "Why are you so anxious?"
"There's no hurry." Wu Zhifei stomped his feet. "Regarding the issue of you getting married without permission, although it has already been investigated by the Party Committee, the official punishment from the organization has not been passed down yet. The Division Head is whispering to you not to meet Mi Xaing 'er and Mi Xaing' er. He even called me and personally instructed me to keep an eye on you. How dare you cause trouble?"
"Cause trouble? What trouble did I cause?"
Tiger Yun wasn't happy and raised his voice. "After I registered with Mi Xiang 'er, I didn't even say goodbye to her before I disappeared. It's been almost ten days and the organization still hasn't given me any news. If they don't give me any news, I'm not going to see my wife for the rest of my life. Isn't this bullshit? I don't care. I've already done so many tests and I've already waited. It's about time."
He was a little unconvinced. "Besides, I've basically finished all the work on hand, and there's nothing urgent today. Didn't I leave a note for you on my desk to take the day off? Why are you still following me?"
Wu Zhifei was also anxious. "Why are you following me? I followed you because I'm doing this for your own good. What leave? You're just trying to protect your wife. Are you joking with your own future?"
He placed one hand on his waist and took a deep breath. "To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to turn a blind eye and pretend that I didn't know that you left the team, but I heard …"
He couldn't help but lower his voice and move closer to Yun Jingting. "But I just heard that Mi Xaing 'er's mother has returned. She was detained because she was suspected of being an illegal immigrant. Although she has been repatriated, the nature of the incident has not been determined. Some people even suspect that she is a spy. In such a situation, how can you, a cadre in the army, get involved in such a family?"
Mi Xaing 'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Only then did she have a preliminary understanding of Yun Jingting's current situation. This man, for the sake of getting married, not only did he have a public medical examination, but he also secretly ran away for the sake of his family while waiting for official punishment. This was undoubtedly an "additional crime".
When Yun Laohu heard Wu Zhifei's words, she snorted coldly. "Lao Wu, I don't want to listen to what you have to say. I know better than you what kind of family Mi Xaing is in and what kind of situation she is in. That's right, her family is in trouble right now. It's precisely because of this that I had to rush over immediately."
“”
"Mi Xaing 'er's mother has been repatriated. For such a big matter, she needs a man to take charge by her side. No matter how capable Mi Xaing' er is, she is only 18 years old. There will always be areas where she is powerless. I am a man, and I am her husband. Oh, when something happened at home, I hid and pretended that I didn't know anything.
Even though Wu Zhifei was touched by these words, he still didn't give up. "Lao Wu, I know that you are a man who dares to take responsibility for your actions. But why don't you think about it carefully now? The military hasn't agreed to your public marriage yet. If you continue to stay here and accompany her, if things really get out, the punishment will be even greater in the future."
Yun Jingting waved her hand. "I don't have time to think so much now. I have to make arrangements for Mi Xaing 'er first. We can talk about the rest later."
As she spoke, she gently nudged Wu Zhifei. Her tone was relaxed as if nothing big had happened at all. "You can go back. Just take care of the regimental headquarters. Oh right, my wife and mother-in-law's situation isn't very convenient. I won't let you two meet until next time, okay?"
Wu Zhifei complained softly. "Lao Wu, you are good in every way, but you are so stubborn. Sigh, I really don't know what to do with you."
"Don't say anymore."
The two of them turned around and walked towards the bushes together.
