Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Only Breakthrough Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Only Breakthrough Captain Zhao let out a long sigh, “She should be heading back to the city.” There weren’t many Educated Youth left in the team’s Educated Youth Institution. Some had returned to the city after their first attempt at the college entrance exam, and a few more followed after this second instance. “She mentioned it.” As for Laowu’s case, Captain Zhao added another sentence, “We can only accuse Laowu of coming to our house to steal, what do you think?” If it weren’t for Laosan teaching his wife a few tricks, Captain Zhao dared not think of the consequences. The reputation of this era is very important, and Xiaoxiao was aware of that. “Dad, Laowu just came to steal.” She wasn’t resentful or felt that her father-in-law hadn’t stood up for her, thus harboring any bitterness. Captain Zhao still insisted on having Mrs. Zhao come over and live with them for a few days. “Then let Mom come over and eat here.” “No need, you’re not working, and the food distributed by the team is just enough for your family,” he said. Today, his daughter-in-law willingly cooked all the meat for them to eat as much as they wanted, and as parents-in-law, they weren’t the type to take advantage of their daughter-in-law. After Mrs. Zhao tidied up the kitchen, Captain Zhao finally took her back to the old house. “Did you talk to Laosan’s wife?” “I did, and she agreed. She also asked you to come over for dinner tonight.” Mrs. Zhao outright refused, “We have food at home, so I won’t go over for dinner.” She then muttered, “I don’t know when Laosan will be back; it’s been half a month since he left.” Captain Zhao was aware of the matter; as long as Laosan returned, Laowu’s family wouldn’t dare to come over. “It’s not just Laosan who went out; Dali and the others went as well. I’ve heard that other cities have opened up.” It was for this reason that Captain Zhao had let them leave. It was also to let them find out what the situation was really like outside. Nowadays, no one manages chicken farming. The militia has been disbanded, and several Educated Youth have returned to the city. He heard that some people had contracted land, but he wasn’t sure whether it was true. The aforementioned Tianlei was still on the train. “Third Brother, it’s time to eat.” Tianlei had no appetite; he just wanted to see his wife now. “You guys eat, I...” “Third Brother, you not only need to eat, but you also need to eat more. Everyone has lost weight on this trip, and you are the one who has lost the most,” he said. It was not unusual for Fang Chaoyang to say this, but now, it was Dali who spoke. Till now, Dali felt especially guilty. If Third Brother hadn’t saved him, nothing would have gone wrong. Facing a few pairs of eyes, Tianlei finally picked up his chopsticks. Seeing Third Brother start eating, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, over at the Wang Family’s place. “Old man, are you really going to just watch Laowu go to jail?” Mrs. Wang lay in bed with a look of dissatisfaction. How could they possibly let Laowu actually go to jail? The only breakthrough was to get Educated Youth Yun to change his statement. But after his wife went to make a scene today, they didn’t budge at all on the other side. And the team leader. Seeing Mr. Wang silent for a long time, Mrs. Wang directly scolded, “If you don’t come up with a solution, I am not done with you. Laowu is our son, he’s so obedient, how could he possibly go to steal?” Mr. Wang was a man of few words. With such a domineering wife, Mr. Wang usually had a very low presence at home. You would think that Mrs. Wang calls the shots at the Wang Family, but that’s not true. It’s Mr. Wang who makes the decisions, and Mrs. Wang just leads the charge. “Did Laowu actually go to steal, or did he intend to do something indecent to Educated Youth Yun? We both know the truth,” he said.
