Chapter 1411: Chapter 1411: Enemies on a Narrow Road 3

Cao Hongzhu was hanging clothes in the courtyard when she turned around and saw Lu Jiang and three children, also looking surprised.

"Commander Lu? How do you have time to come to Baozhou?" Her tongue had been injured, although treated by Feng Qingxue and others, she didn’t follow up with treatment and now her speech was somewhat unclear.

Lu Jiang nodded slightly to her, "I was transferred here last year, and I have been to the city during that time, yet I never saw you all."

The fish-selling lady was very enthusiastic towards Li Shuitian, suggesting that Li Shuitian’s job was not simple.

Now, Cao Hongzhu looked calm and gentle, a complete contrast to when she reported the Lu Family and the Qi Family, smilingly responding to Lu Jiang: "It’s a vast sea of people, how could we possibly meet by chance? We’ve only been here for less than a year. You are a commander, generally, your transfers are either lateral or promotions, there’s Viva Army which moved here last year, could it be you were transferred to Viva Army? Perhaps also as a commander?"

Lu Jiang neither confirmed nor denied but couldn’t resist when Ping Zhengkai, who followed him, said, "Yes, sister-in-law, the leader is now in charge of the Viva Army. Did sister-in-law and Comrade Shuitian also come from the border defense forces?"

"Yes!"

Only then did Cao Hongzhu notice Ping Zhengkai and what he was carrying, hurriedly inviting them into the house for tea while taking the items from him.

Li Shuitian poured water and took out some cakes and preserved fruits from the house for Fubao and Dundun Zhuangzhuang, then noticed that Xibao and Zhuangzhuang were missing, "How come those two little treasures didn’t come out to play?"

"Xibao went to the Capital with his grandfather to attend his eldest cousin’s wedding, Zhuangzhuang just recovered from illness, and as spring is still chilly, I didn’t dare bring him out. Shuitian, Comrade Cao Hongzhu, stop taking out treats, the kids can’t eat that much." Seeing Lu Erxiong with his cheeks puffed and hands full, Lu Jiang couldn’t help feeling embarrassed, it was too disgraceful.

Cao Hongzhu laughed, "We don’t have much delicacies at home, just those two types, let the children choose what they like."

Erxiong swallowed the food in his mouth, "Thank you, aunty!"

He looked very similar to Dundun, Cao Hongzhu couldn’t tell which triplet he was, "You’re welcome, eat up. Can you tell me your name?"

"I am Lu Erxiong!"

Cao Hongzhu nodded understandingly, poured him water, and also poured for Fubao and Dundun, then couldn’t help but praise: "Fubao is growing more handsome by the day, just like he was cast from the same mold as your mother."

"Thank you, aunty!" Fubao loved hearing that.

Ping Zhengkai went out to buy things as instructed by Lu Jiang, while Li Shuitian asked, "Comrade Lu Jiang, do you know the reason Jiu Hong left the military?"

"I was about to ask you." said Lu Jiang, "When I left the military, Jiu Hong was still his Political Director, right, he replaced you, and he was the one who reported you in the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Cao Hongzhu’s eyes reddened, "I knew it was him, Shuitian always said not to accuse people without evidence!"

Li Shuitian had anticipated this, unlike his wife’s grinding teeth, "It’s not surprising, I left the military, naturally others replaced me. However, Lu Zhaodi has always publicly claimed that Jiu Hong transferred back to his hometown, I don’t believe that for a second, if he transferred, how could Jiu Hong possibly take a position lower than mine? His rank in the military was so high."

"Exactly, I don’t believe it either!" Cao Hongzhu’s eyes carried a hint of mockery, "Even though Lu Zhaodi tirelessly claims Jiu Hong transferred wanting not to burden the nation, thus willingly being an ordinary public security officer, he might deceive others but not us."
