Chapter 74

The white jade has indeed changed a lot.

Her transformation happened in full view of everyone, so even if she was taken away and interrogated harshly, she was still Bai Yu, and Bai Yu was her.

Unlike Qiao Yu, who experienced life and death and whose temperament changed drastically, these were all triggers for a drastic change in a person’s character.

Mother Lu came face to face with the captured Bai Yu, carrying a lot of bags.

She was just about to ask the person leading the way, who was caught?

The guide shouted with an attitude of watching a show: “Aunt! What a coincidence! The person who was just arrested was your daughter-in-law Bai Yu! What crime did she commit?”

Mother Lu’s smile faded.

She had come with great joy when she learned that she was going to have a grandson, but as soon as she arrived, her daughter-in-law was arrested? ! !

After several rounds of rigorous questioning, Bai Yu finally confessed that there were some foreign books in the high school library, and she had read some of them, so she was corrupted by foreign ideas…

It was not yet a turbulent era, so the seizure of foreign books was not so strict, and she had seen them in the library, so the situation was not serious.

After interrogation, there was no major problem, so she was released.

Lu Hongjun waited outside the interrogation room until Bai Yu came out, then he took her home with a stern face.

When he got home and saw the bags on the floor and Lu’s mother sitting in the living room, Lu Hongjun suddenly felt overwhelmed.

“Mom, why… did you come so soon?”

Mother Lu pointed at Bai Yu behind him, “What’s wrong with her?!”

Bai Yu was stunned.

The old lady was from the countryside, and had lived through a famine. Not only was she skin and bones from hunger, but she also had high cheekbones, which made her face look much more mean. The black chicken claw was pointing directly at herself.

Bai Yu subconsciously hid behind Lu Hongjun.

“What, what do you mean…”

“I saw everything when I came! She was arrested! Did she do something bad? Son, she won’t affect you, right?”

Lu Hongjun glanced at his wife behind him and poured water for Lu’s mother: “Mom, it’s okay, the army just took her away for questioning.”

“What did she do!”

…

The next day, everyone in the military compound knew about it.

Bai Yu submitted an article to a newspaper, but the newspaper reported that she had problems with her ideological awareness. In addition, she married a military officer, so she was taken for interrogation and questioning.

“She deserves it! I see she’s always looking down on everyone. It turns out she’s drunk too much Western ink and is different from us, the native Chinese!”

“The newspaper’s ideological awareness is high and they caught this bad guy in no time.”

“Hey, do you think Captain Lu will be affected?”

“Of course he will. The rear isn’t ready. Will his superiors allow him to charge? Two people can’t sleep in one bed. What if he betrays us in battle…”

“Stop talking!” Mrs. Zhou interrupted, seeing that the matter was getting more and more outrageous and even escalating to the team.

Seeing this, I didn’t continue the topic.

They asked Mrs. Zhou about Qiao Yu’s situation.

“The New Year is almost here. Xiaoyu hasn’t gone out for how many days? What is she doing? Why doesn’t she come to see such a big event? If Dayu was my enemy, I would have given him a standing ovation.”

Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes. “Do you think everyone is the same as you? Qiao Mei is not that kind of person. She is busy at home. She has to take care of Zhou Tuan and study to get her high school diploma next year and take the college entrance examination…” “

Don’t be too confident. It will be embarrassing if you don’t get your diploma.” said Shi Mu.

They were the family who abandoned their granddaughter at the gate of Zhoutuanyuan and were rejected by Qiao Yu.

Mrs. Zhou was confident in Qiao Yu, but she didn’t say too much. She just said, “We’ll see when the time comes.”

After chatting, they went home to cook.

When Mrs. Zhou and Wang Zhaodi came to Qiao Yu’s house to sew clothes, they brought up this matter.

Qiao Yu suddenly realized: “Oh, that’s right, why didn’t I think of writing some articles and publishing them in newspapers?”

After all, there is no such thing as too much money.

“…Do you have enough money on hand? Do you still need to write articles and send them to newspapers?”

She is already a millionaire.

While Lao Zhou was recuperating at home, she received another 1,200 yuan as a commendation from the army before she left last time, plus the commendation for attending this important mission…

She took good care of Lao Zhou and was not stingy in giving money to Zhou Jun, including to her subordinates, and gave money as a reward according to the amount of work they did.

Zhou Jun got five dollars, and his four younger brothers got some dimes, some one or two dollars.

Qiao Yu chuckled and said, “There’s no conflict between not being short of money and not complaining about having too little money, right?”

Well, who complains about having too little money?

If Qiao Yu’s manuscript is approved, there will be more excitement in the staff quarters.

One of them failed in his submission and was taken away for interrogation by the army, while the other one succeeded in his submission and received royalties…

If it happened to two people who had no connection at all, it wouldn’t be much to watch.

This is the famous Da Yu and Xiao Yu in the family compound!

It’s very interesting.

Qiao Yu said to the two of them, “I want to submit an article. This is first-hand information. You must keep it confidential. Let’s wait until I get the royalties before we do anything else. Otherwise, I will be the one to be embarrassed.”

“Of course, of course.”

Wang Zhaodi and Zhou Saozi responded.

Qiao Yu did not do much polishing on the manuscript he submitted. As soon as he thought about it, he thought of his life in the countryside half a year ago.

There would be another year of famine in 1961, and the whole country would only be able to breathe a sigh of relief the next year.

She took the famine as the theme, with the original owner as the protagonist, and mentioned what she saw and heard in the production team.

Everyone lives for himself, and even if life is painful, he shoulders the responsibility and moves forward with the burden.

Fortunately, the original owner had a guiding light on the road. The original owner was reborn from the ashes (after she traveled through time), changed her temperament, went crazy, recovered the money for her deceased husband, and with the help of a group of good members, she found her life again.

During the famine, everyone had a hard time, but she was lucky enough to meet a good person…

She wrote a long and eloquent article praising the members who followed the Party’s footsteps and were like human beings, rather than the cannibalistic local tycoons of the old era. Only then could a country person like her find a bright way out!

It took three days to write.

After finishing the paper, she corrected a few typos, smoothed her pen, re-copied it, and then submitted it to a city-level newspaper.

She lived a carefree life.

The children took care of the housework, and Zhou Jun helped with the cooking. She only had to change Old Zhou’s medicine, turn him over and scratch his back. Although she shared a bed with a strange man at night, she just thought of it as an extra large rag doll. She slept soundly and no one could disturb her.

Bai Yu was suffering terribly.

She didn’t expect that the sensible old lady in her memory would be so difficult to get along with now!

How could the old lady come to take care of her?

She was clearly here to order her around!

The old lady: “You don’t have a job now, and you have caused so much trouble for my son, and you still want to lie down and let me serve you? I am not here to work for you, I am here to urge you to work!

I won’t be here for long, I have to go back to the fields to earn work points in the spring of next year! You better be honest and learn how to take care of the family and make the Red Army worry-free in the rear! Otherwise, what’s the point of him marrying you?”

Why is it useless? !

So what if your son is an officer! Don’t you still have to face career change? How could he do that without the help of his virtuous wife?

She knows more about the national trends in the next few decades than he does!

Of course, these things can only be thought about in the mind and cannot be said out loud.

She still has some sense of propriety in this regard.
