Listening to the continuous sounds of "ho ho ha ha" coming from the Zhao Family and Gong Family’s good sons, Gong Ruini buried her head under the blanket.
She thought that after Cai Ming left, the house would beco much quieter, but unexpectedly Zhao Guangran and Gong Ruwen were so excited, practicing martial arts every morning and night.
Gong Ruini really didn’t understand why they had so much energy.
Practicing martial arts is indeed a good thing, it saves them from causing trouble outside, but there’s no need to be so excited and disrupt her sleep, right?
If they really had that much energy, why not go up the mountain to check if any new prey had fallen into their traps?
At the very least, they could dig through the snow to see if they could find so grass.
Just don’t disrupt or disturb her sleep.
Although Cai ina wanted her brother to stay here, she knew that the current situation wasn’t suitable for any small actions, especially since they knew where Cai Ming was, and they could et in the future.
"After the winter break, let him co over. There’s food and drink here, and if he’s got a good character, he can go out and stroll with him to earn so extra money."
Gong Tao knew this brother-in-law of his was a good person, but in these tis, you really can’t judge a book by its cover, so he and Zhao Gang had to be cautious and even more cautious.
"And he knows a bit of boxing, as long as there aren’t any tough characters over there, Cai Ming won’t be bullied."
Cai ina knew her brother wasn’t easy to bully, but she still worried.
"Quick, quick, let’s move the chickens and quails to another location." Zhao Gang rushed into the house, shouting to Gong Tao inside.
Move to another location? Gong Tao listened to the fuss, weren’t the chickens and quails in their house doing just fine? Why move them?
Could it be a spot check from above? Although many in the village secretly raised more poultry than allowed, it wasn’t often checked, but once soone ca down, the whole village would be in chaos dealing with poultry.
But in this cold winter, with snow not yet lted, those officials had to be quite diligent starting inspections already.
But where could they move them to, the underground hole maybe?
That would be a good place, Gong Tao quickly dressed to get to work swiftly.
"Also, let your wife tidy up the house, put away and hide so things."
"And remind the kids." Zhao Gang, busy packing the chickens into a basket, didn’t forget to remind Gong Tao.
What’s going on, why should everything in the house be hidden, could it be they’re not checking for illegal poultry but coming to search the house?
That thought scared Gong Tao pale, "What’s happening, did soone report us?"
Due to being too agitated, Gong Tao raised his voice quite a bit.
With Zhao Gang’s considerable movents, even Gong Ruini, still in bed, got up and caught just in ti what Gong Tao said about a house search.
That imdiately scared Gong Ruini pretty badly, what’s happening, why would there be a house search?
They hadn’t done anything big lately; they’d been quite well-behaved this winter at ho.
Could it be soone exposed their winter vegetable selling activities?
If that’s really the case, then it’s a big problem.
If that’s true, those people could have evidence and might even bring witnesses, they wouldn’t be able to deny it.
Cai ina ca out, her face showing quite a serious expression.
Even though Cai ina stood tall, internally she was quite surprised. She didn’t expect that just when they started living a stable life, they’d face such a major change, what to do now.
Cai ina racked her brain on how to get these two kids out of here.
Cai ina knew that as adults, they couldn’t avoid it, but Gong Ruwen and Ni Zi were still young, and shouldn’t follow them into an uncertain future.
Search the house? What’s going on, how co he didn’t know, looking at their pale little faces, he knew they misunderstood, "Search the house? Who’s coming to search the house out of the blue?"
But thinking of those two people, wasn’t it almost like a house search, "It might as well be considered the sa as a house search."
Just as he was about to relax, Zhao Gang’s next sentence made his heart race again, "What’s really going on?"
"Hurry and get to work, I talked to Aunt Wang, our chickens and quails can be temporarily placed at her house."
"Quick, get to work, and ina, put so eye-catching things in our room, your parents are coming soon."
Zhao Gang was very relieved, luckily he went to the commune today and overheard that old couple asking around, initially wanting to give them a ride when he heard they were heading to the Red Flag Brigade.
He hadn’t approached them yet, but hearing they were looking for Gong Tao, he beca cautious, then realized it was Gong Dajiang and his wife, which scared Zhao Gang.
As soon as he finished what he was doing, he rushed ho on the ox cart to quickly move things out.
"These things are indeed mine, but what if they leak it out," Zhao Gang didn’t trust the old Gong couple at all.
So things are too risky to gamble on, the consequences aren’t sothing they can afford to risk.
What, dad and mom are coming? The in-laws are coming? The grandparents are coming? That biased, impossible to be more biased couple is coming?
That’s what all four mbers of the Gong family were thinking, but they all realized they were up to no good coming here.
"Hmph, didn’t notify us in advance, planning to catch us off guard." Gong Tao’s first thought was, did they miss the telegram or letter about their arrival?
But thinking further, why did they co so quietly, isn’t the reason clear? For their precious eldest son, they’d co regardless of the effort.
Poor those old folks, despite their age, setting off to the Northeast even before the Lantern Festival was over, but surely they ca willingly.
Regardless of Gong Dajiang’s intentions, Gong Tao quickly joined the team moving the chickens and quails.
Zhao Xuran and his brother, although not capable of much, could at least catch quails.
Cai ina knew it wasn’t the ti for her anger or reluctance, she had to get to work.
"Go tidy up the house, what if they et soone and bring them back." Zhao Gang knew this old couple wasn’t easy to deal with.
"Oh right, also pack up the books in the house."
"Put everything in the cellar."
"Yes, ina, also put our money there, and the blankets too." Hmph, they didn’t bring anything good when they ca.
If they saw new fabrics and blankets, their first thought would be to give them to their precious son and grandson.
Yes, those things are important too, Cai ina rushed into Gong Ruini’s room and took away the new blankets.
But after taking these blankets away, what about Ni Zi and the others sleeping at night? Although there’s a heated kang, it won’t be cold, is it okay to sleep without blankets in the middle of winter?
"Mom, we can squeeze in with you, then give grandma and grandpa one blanket, and I can cover with a coat." The happy days were over.
Gong Ruini really felt like drawing a circle to curse Gong Dajiang and his wife, coming for a surprise inspection; if it weren’t for Zhao Gang being out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
