Chapter 1332: Meritorious Service
“Ding Xiaomei is just one of them. There are still many women and children suffering, so we have to eradicate and eliminate those human trafficking activities. Ding Xiaomei is special because she is Brother Ding’s daughter.” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head.
“If Ding Xiaomei knows the truth, do you think she will be willing to help us?” Jiang Yao asked.
“I don’t know.”
Lu Xingzhi shook his head. “Those things are arranged by the army. You were able to find Ding Xiaomei and gain her trust. It’s already great merit for her to be able to follow our comrades into the army.”
Lu Xingzhi sounded proud because his wife had made that happen! He was honored.
Ding Xiaomei could rely on the army.
Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi still needed to go to Shu City, so they did not stay in the hospital for long. The two of them caught the train back to Shu City.
The one who came to the train station to pick them up was Ah Zhu. He asked about Gu Junhui’s mother’s condition. After hearing that she was out of danger, Ah Zhu was relieved.
“Why didn’t you stay for a few more days? Sister, it’s rare for you to be able to accompany your mother. You should stay for a few more days,” Ah Zhu asked.
Jiang Yao lowered her eyes and looked very pitiful. “My grandmother came, and we almost ran into her. Then my mother and uncle asked for Brother Changshu and me to leave first. ”
Ah Zhu sighed, “I see. Then I really have no choice. It’s a pity. It took so long for you to go back, and it’s so far away. The train tickets are also expensive, let alone the plane tickets. Oh, by the way, do you still have the ticket stubs for the train tickets? Give them to me. Brother Ding said to reimburse you.”
“How can we do that?”
Jiang Yao shook her head. “Brother Ding and Brother Ah Zhu, you have already lent us enough money for when we go back. We don’t even know when we will return them. How can we ask Brother Ding to reimburse us for the train tickets?”
“Ah, it’s okay. Give them to me. Brother Ding has money. He doesn’t need that small amount of money. This is also a small gift from Brother Ding.” Ah Zhu looked at Gu Changshu, who held the train ticket and was too embarra.s.sed to give it to him. Then, he reached out and s.n.a.t.c.hed it. He glanced at it and smiled. “No need to go back and forth. It’s expensive and tiring. In the future, when you guys earn a lot of money, you can go and take a plane. Oh, right! How do you feel about taking a plane?”
Along the way, only Jiang Yao talked about flying for the first time and Lu Xingzhi’s occasional m.u.f.fle in response. Then, the car was filled with laughter as they returned to the house.
As soon as Lu Xingzhi arrived, Ah Zhu brought him to see Brother Ding. Apparently, Brother Ding had special instructions for him. When Jiang Yao got out of the car and saw Wen Yunfang, she walked toward the other woman with a face full of joy. “Is your face better? That’s great! I was still worried when I went back to my hometown. I asked the old people there. I’m relieved to see that you’re better.”
Jiang Yao smiled innocently, looking as if she was only bringing up Wen Yunfang’s happiness. Then, she asked curiously, “How did you get cured? That doctor must be excellent.”
Jiang Yao had asked innocently, but Wen Yunfang’s face darkened. Wen Yunfang would never tell Gu Junhui that she had to put sheep dung and cow dung on her face for several days to get cured.
“You still don’t know, do you? You and your brother Changshu are going to be separated soon.” Wen Yunfang could not bear to see Gu Junhui’s smiling face, so she insisted on giving Gu Junhui some news that would make her unable to smile.
