Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2449: Chapter 2385: Taking a Clear Stand

Meng Xinian shook his head.

”If he had really killed someone, how could we still see him now? He hadn’t had the chance to act yet, he only spread the word, and that man, out of fear and anxiety, tried to flee overnight, only to fall to his death in a canal midway. Funnily enough, the place wasn’t far from where Zhu Shun’s wife was violated.”

Maybe it was heaven giving Zhu Shun a hand.

It didn’t want to see him end up so tragically.

The three listening all let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Yin sighed: ”This sounds a bit unbelievable, but it’s clear that heaven has eyes, after all.”

Meng Xinian said: ”The people of their village say that Zhu Shun’s wife wanted to avenge herself, not wanting Zhu Shun to sacrifice his life too. Zhu Shun also seemed to believe this, later he wrote to me, saying that his life belonged to his wife and parents now, and if they wanted to protect him, he would live well.”

So Zhu Shun did not return to the army, and lived freely like this.

And he has been alone all along, hasn’t he?

”It’s really unexpected, Brother Shun always laughing and joking around, seeming carefree and happy, had such a past.” Wang Yi was moved to tears, ”So, he never remarried?”

”Probably not,” Chiang Xiao said: ”If he had remarried, how could he be living like this?”

After finishing the discussion about Zhu Shun, they ate their noodle soup and parted ways to head home.

When Chiang Xiao got home and finished freshening up, sitting in front of the dressing table and applying the nutrient water made with spring water and medicine powder, she recalled a scene from her past life.

So, that person had such a tragic life experience as well.

”What’s wrong?” Meng Xinian came out after his shower, walked up behind her, and embraced her, looking with her at the couple in the mirror.

He sensed she was a bit preoccupied today.

Chiang Xiao shook her head, saying: ”It’s nothing, I just thought of Zhu Shun.”

”Alright, don’t think about him anymore.”

Meng Xinian mentioned Zhu Shun with a sigh, too, but what’s done is done, those are matters from years ago now, if Zhu Shun himself has found a way to move on, it’s best for them not to bring it up or disturb him.

Chiang Xiao responded with a hum.

”Brother Xinian, do you think there’s any result from the troop deployment discussion? And, has Little Cai been looking for you?”

”There’s no result yet, but troop deployment is certain, the authorities are still discussing how to proceed.” Meng Xinian felt a thump in his heart when she mentioned Little Cai.

He was really worried about her getting mad.

If nothing else, just the thought of her ignoring him, not letting him near, was already torture.

He immediately said: ”I don’t know if she’s looking for me. Anyway, I’ve been in the Enclosed Camp these days, haven’t seen her once, and haven’t heard any news about her. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about her!”

Chiang Xiao gave him a sidelong glance, ”Brother Xinian, why are you so nervous?”

”Not nervous, just making my stance clear.” Meng Xinian immediately replied.

”Pfft.”

What a clear stance.

”Doesn’t anyone on your side keep an eye on the Gao Family, Lu Family, and the Long Family to see what they’re up to?”

”I’m not currently monitoring these issues, that’s something my superiors are supposed to handle.”

Meng Xinian pulled her up, embraced her and fell onto the bed, tugged up the blanket, sighed, and said: ”In the future, I’ll also be entangled in these affairs, so let’s avoid them as long as we can for now.”
