However, as soon as Ye Shu opened his mouth, Commander Zhao was stunned.

Ye Shu said, "Please ask Commander Zhao to call my father-in-law, Huo Yisheng's father."

Commander Zhao took a while to react before he was sure that he had not heard wrongly.

He was curious and asked, "Why?"

She is a newlywed bride and has never met her father-in-law. What important matter requires her to call him now?

Especially since her father-in-law is not an ordinary person, he is Commander Huo.

Ye Shu did not hide it and said:

"I just came home from the infirmary and saw two people at my door, but I didn't recognize them. They said they were relatives of the Huo family and came to the island to take care of me. However, I didn't get any information before, so I wanted to confirm with Mr. Huo."

When Commander Zhao heard this, he immediately frowned and asked her to wait a moment.

Then he called out to the guard standing outside, "Who's in charge of the ferry today? Bring me the list of people going to the island."

The guard immediately said, "It's here. Commander, you were busy, so I put it on your desk."

Commander Zhao picked up the documents on the table and found that there were indeed two new people on the island today, both women, and they were indeed registered as coming from the capital.

The reason was to visit relatives, and the person to visit was Huo Yisheng.

Commander Zhao frowned slightly. He had indeed told Commander Huo about Ye Shu's pregnancy.

Although Comrade Hu said that nothing could be made public within three months, he, a grown man, did not believe it. Besides, the woman was the daughter-in-law of the Huo family and was pregnant with the Huo family's grandson!

Could it be that these two people were really sent by Commander Huo?

He looked at Ye Shu again. Although the little girl tried to appear calm, he could see that she was obviously frightened and uneasy.

Come to think of it, it's normal for her to be worried and scared when two strangers suddenly came to her house and she didn't know them.

It makes sense to call and confirm.

So Commander Zhao didn't hesitate and called Commander Huo in Beijing.

These days calls need to be transferred and can’t be connected immediately.

While waiting, Ye Shu was also thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

First of all, she had to call the Huo family because she really needed to confirm the identities of these two people.

But even if the two were really sent by the Huo family, she would definitely not accept them.

As for the reason, she had already thought of it along the way.

After the call was connected, Commander Huo said that he had a meeting coming up and didn't have much time, so he asked him to be brief. Therefore, Commander Zhao didn't let Ye Shu answer the phone and directly told him what happened.

On the other end of the phone, Commander Huo was visibly stunned. "Two people went? Who?"

Teacher Zhao looked through the registration list: "Malanhua, Fang Cuicui, mother and daughter."

There was another pause on the other end of the phone, and Commander Zhao thought it was because of a bad phone signal, so he waited patiently. During this time, he glanced at Ye Shu and saw that she was sitting upright, her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart.

In fact, Commander Huo was wondering who these two people were.

Last name Ma?

He took a moment to react and roughly guessed who it was.

Then he said, "Keep an eye on the person first. I'll investigate right away."

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhao knew that Commander Huo had not sent anyone.

Then Commander Huo said, "Is Xiao San's wife frightened? Ask your wife to help comfort her."

"She's young, and she's the first person to think of me when she encounters something. That's great. Your situation is special, and Xiao San is a conspicuous person. It's very likely that an enemy is taking advantage of her absence and her being a new comrade on the island to infiltrate."

"She's young and pregnant. You have strict rules over there. She's just a little girl. I hope she wasn't scared to tears just by making this phone call."

Commander Zhao was speechless. Did he dare to scare her?

That guy named Huo is back, isn't he going to fight him to the death?!

Of course, he also understood Commander Huo's praise for Ye Shu.

To be honest, from the overall perspective, Ye Shu's response this time was indeed very good.

After hanging up the phone, Commander Zhao sent someone to take Ye Shu back and said, "I'll take care of those two people. Don't worry, you can go home first."

Thinking of Commander Huo's words, he added, "From now on, there will be guards patrolling your area. If you have any problems, just go directly to them."

Ye Shu nodded and thanked him, knowing that this was the only way for now.

But at least she knew one thing, that the person was not sent by Commander Huo. This way, it would be easier for her to deal with it later.

Ye Shu was escorted home by guards.

Commander Zhao sent someone to find the two women: "Arrange them in the guesthouse first and keep an eye on them."

As for Malanhua and Fang Cuicui, they walked into the infirmary and happened to hear people gossiping inside:

"Comrade Ye Shu is truly amazing! I just heard Master Huang praising her! She's so smart, no wonder Master Huang was willing to accept her as his disciple! She learns quickly! She's a genius!"

"Have you noticed that she seems to be getting more and more beautiful after marrying Captain Huo?"

"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too! Tell me, hey, hey, isn't it true that Captain Huo is particularly affectionate in bed?"

"So what if he can care for people? He still can't have children. If a man can't have children, it will be a suffering for a woman to follow him. Just think about it, when you are old, you won't even have a filial son. How pitiful and desolate it is."

"Women, you can't be so narrow-minded. You have to think about the future!"

"That's not what I meant. How can I live without a husband who loves me? Do you want someone like Lin Daqiang?"

……

Malanhua and Fang Cuicui, mother and daughter, looked at each other in shock!

Malanhua hurried in, grabbed a woman at the door, and asked, "What did you just say? Who can't have children?"

The man was caught red-handed. He screamed in fear and then asked, "Who are you?"

Malanhua's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said, "I'm a relative of Ye Shu's. I came to see her. Did you just say that the man she married can't have children?"

Ye Shu’s mother had just come to see her before, why was there another one?

Although everyone was confused, they didn't think much about it. Seeing that she was so anxious, they thought she was worried about Ye Shu and was thinking about Ye Shu.

She immediately explained that Huo Yisheng was injured and couldn't have children, and then comforted him: "Don't think too much, this is fate!"

"Yeah, actually it's good not to have children. The house will be quiet and the burden on the two of us will be less."

"Yeah, the child is noisy. How can Ye Shu make progress in his studies with a child?"

Outside, everyone was talking back and forth. Old Huang felt something was amiss and came out to see Malanhua and Fang Cuicui. They looked unfamiliar to him, so he frowned and asked,

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Malanhua then remembered why she was here and said, "I'm looking for Ye Shu. I'm a relative of hers and came to the island to see her. Where is she?"

Huang Lao had sharp eyes and felt that something was wrong with her. He immediately pointed to Nurse Wang at the nurse station and said, "Over there."

Malanhua went over and grabbed Nurse Wang, saying with a smile, "Ye Shu, your relatives are visiting and you don't even know how to go home?"
