Chapter 1391: Chapter 1391: Brothers Return Home 1

After sending items to Hong Zhanjun and Lun Bing, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had wanted to investigate the person who reported them, but later gave up.

The letter was anonymous, and had been destroyed by people like Cui Shaoyuan. Some complaints that didn’t require investigation were handled like this; after all, the other party had no evidence but a letter, whereas the state was very familiar with the situation of the Lu Family. So, it was difficult for Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue to find the writer just through the handwriting, especially since numerous people sent out letters from the army every day. Looking for this person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

They were busy, busy with work, busy taking care of their family, and had no time for such trivial matters.

"It’s just someone jealous of our family’s good life, making this accusation against us, they must have visited our home," Feng Qingxue’s eyes flashed with disgust. Warm to your face, but stabbing you in the back, they are simply not human.

Lu Jiang added, "Not necessarily, we give food to our neighbors and elderlies. It might have caught the attention of people with ulterior motives."

But Feng Qingxue felt it was unlikely, because aside from using dishes and bowls to deliver food to neighbors, when sending food to the old veterans, it was usually wrapped in insulated containers with small quilts, how could outsiders see? Unless the concerned individuals were to spread the word, yet those old soldiers were not such people, because if they did, others would find it unfair.

"Sister Jiang and Shuixian, Panpan often make delicious food and bring us some. When we fried meatballs or wrapped dumplings, we shared some with them. It’s a two-way street, normal human interactions. The few old veterans who stayed in the army are alone, old, and plagued by illnesses. Bringing them something should, by all means, be only beneficial and not detrimental to us. The items aren’t pricey, they are just food, no one can use this to prove that we live lavishly. How come there was still someone who reported us? Our New Year’s Eve dinner had plenty of fish and meat, but no outsider saw it. The children were all around me and never mentioned what we had at home."

After listening to his wife, Lu Jiang spread his hands, "Who knows what the reporter was thinking? Like you said, some people are just sick in the head, unwilling to admit their jealousy. Knowing well that we currently possess an unshakeable position, yet they want to smash themselves against us like an egg against a rock. Isn’t that a clear sign of a sick mind?"

A reasonably normal person wouldn’t do such a thing. Lu Jiang was highly trusted by the old leader and had many connections. His work and lifestyle were impeccable, trying to report him for living lavishly was merely a laughing matter for everyone.

"There’s a hole in their brains!" Feng Qingxue said indignantly.

"Alright, don’t be angry, it’s not worth getting upset over this." Lu Jiang consoled her, "If we are upright, we fear not the crooked shadow. What is there for us to fear? Besides, the most chaotic times have passed, and the power struggles above don’t involve us. You should think this way; only mediocrity escapes jealousy. The better our days, the more people will be green with envy, not less. What we need to face in the future isn’t this kind of petty trouble. This incident is a reminder for us to be prepared."

Feng Qingxue understood Lu Jiang’s meaning. Although they had been staying away from the vortex of strife, the future wouldn’t be so simple, there would undoubtedly be many challenges in the times of change.

The most comforting thing was that they both clearly understood the direction of history.

In such a case, taking the wrong path again would indeed make them the world’s biggest fools.
