That night, it was dark and windy. The three brothers Huo Haocheng sneaked into the cowshed quietly. During the day, only the fourth master of the Huo family came here to look after and feed the cows. He would go home before dark. He never married in his life.

It is said that he had a fiancée when he was young, but she was taken away when the Japanese invaded. After hearing this, he chased after her alone, but it was too late. In order to maintain her innocence, the girl hit her head against the wall. Mr. Huo got some medicine from somewhere and put it in their food, then burned all the bodies of the Japanese invaders. He lived alone from then on.

The older generation said that he failed to save the woman out of guilt, while others said that he was terribly in love with his fiancée. There were many different opinions.

After Huo Haocheng and his team entered, they first checked the walls and roof, and then the kang, the kitchen stove, and the chimney.

"Brother, the air outlet of the kang must be blocked. There is a small crack here."

"Brother, the wall in the backyard needs to be reinforced, otherwise it may collapse after the heavy rain."

"The tiles on the roof also need to be picked up, as they may leak when it rains."

"Okay, bring the tools tomorrow."

After returning home and washing up, Huo Haocheng went into Ruan Ruan's room as usual. His own room had now become a decoration.

"Have you finished checking everything?" Ruan Ruan stood up and asked when she saw Huo Haocheng coming in.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you. I don't think grandpa would let my second uncle arrange people here like this. I still think they have a backup plan. Let's get up early tomorrow and borrow the team's phone to call back and ask. Then we will decide whether to go find Fu Mingyi."

With two old people here, it would be impossible to arrange people here so rashly. Ruan Ruan always felt that they had other arrangements.

"Okay," he said, lying down and holding Ruan Ruan in his arms.

"Go to bed early and ask tomorrow."

"Good night"

"Good night"

Before dawn the next day, Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng borrowed Captain Huo's keys and called the Gu family before they even started work.

The Gu family was also in a low mood because of the Sun family's affairs.

"Ding Ding Ding"

"Hello, I'm Gu Wencheng, who are you?" Gu Wencheng had been sitting in the study room all night.

"Uncle, it's me, Ruan Ruan"

"Ruan Ruan, did you receive the letter?" Hearing that it was his niece calling, Gu Wencheng softened his tone.

"Yes, I got it, so I came to ask about the specific arrangements on your side, uncle."

"Ruan Ruan, your uncle has caused you trouble in this matter. Is Huo Haocheng by your side?"

“Yes, I’ll give him the phone number.”

"Hello, Second Uncle, I am Huo Haocheng"

"Haocheng, your uncle is sorry for you and Ruan Ruan this time, because it happened too suddenly, and I didn't have time to explain it to you in detail. But don't worry, we will make sure everything is arranged, and that person will pay the price for what he did. I have also talked to your second uncle, and he also told me about what happened recently on your side. We will take this opportunity to arrange our people to go there. The Sun family will be vindicated soon, but they will not be back for a while, so I will trouble your family while they are there. Please apologize to Uncle Huo for causing him trouble."

"Uncle, don't say that. Grandpa said that we are a family. Moreover, Sun Hongxin and I are comrades who have been through life and death together. I called today just to ask about your arrangements. I'm afraid that by the time we have the same ideas, we will end up having conflicts among ourselves. Since you said you have made arrangements, we will not move on this side for now."

Huo Haocheng told Gu Wencheng what his family had discussed. On the one hand, he wanted to reassure Gu Wencheng, and on the other hand, he also told him that although the Huo family was not very powerful, it was still impossible to touch them without anyone noticing in their small county.

"Okay, thank Uncle Huo for me. When you get married, I will definitely go over and have a drink with him."

"Okay, then you guys stay home and wait for your uncles to come over and have a good drink."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Haocheng sent Ruan Ruan back to catch up on her sleep. He decided to go find Fu Mingyi to get the latest news.

Gu Wencheng was relieved. He had only heard about the Huo family before, but now that he heard Huo Haocheng say it himself, he dared to confirm it. In fact, from the moment he sent the letter, he was waiting for the Huo family's attitude.

"Is it Ruan Ruan and the others who are calling?" The two elders of the Gu family walked into the study room after he hung up the phone. Seeing that Gu Wencheng's expression relaxed, they were relieved.

"Yes, it's Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng."

"How to say?"

.................................

Gu Wencheng told Huo Haocheng everything he had said. Old Master Gu sighed and said, "It seems that Ruan Ruan has found a good in-law family."

At this time, Gu Liyan really wanted to meet the Huo family. He wanted to see why Mingming, an old country man, could stabilize one side at the critical moment even though he had been on the battlefield. Is he really an old country man?

"The Sun family has already set off yesterday, right?"

"Well, I arranged for someone to follow them. I originally wanted them to stay there to protect their safety, but now it seems unnecessary. Let them come back after the teachers are settled."

"Since the Sun family is safe for the time being, that person can be moved now."

"I understand." At this moment, Gu Wencheng hated Wu Yijie, who was once his fellow apprentice.

Wu Yijie, the person who reported the Sun family this time, was once a student of Professor Sun Huaian, just like Gu Wencheng. The difference is that in order to get more help from the Sun family, Wu Yijie disguised himself as a modest gentleman and married Sun Yuling, the youngest daughter of the Sun family. The two have been married for many years and have only a 10-year-old son. Because the Sun family refused to speak well of him in the job competition, he missed the position of director, so he defected to that side and developed a revengeful heart.
