"Comrade Qi Gang, Comrade Chen Ju and Comrade Ye are not available. The deputy commander and staff officer of the military region do not have accompanying family members, just like Commander Chen, they live in dormitories. Let’s go to your house first, then we will go to Commander Ye’s house, and also visit the homes of other accompanying families." Marshal Lu said to Qi Gang.
Qi Gang was taken aback when he heard it, "My house?"
Isn’t it for the investigation of Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s corruption, bribery, and waste that was reported in the letter? Is this what they call investigation? Why are they coming to his house?
Cui Shaoyuan smiled slightly, "Our main purpose of coming down here is to inspect the living conditions of the border defense troops."
He never mentioned anything about the accusation letter.
Qi Gang had no way of declining, so he had to take them to his home.
Chen Ju was eager to see the Lu family being embarrassed, but she couldn’t reveal her thoughts. She gathered with a group of accompanying family members in the residential compound, watching the Lu family and waiting for something to happen. Just then, she noticed that the leaders from the Capital had left the Lu family’s house and were heading towards her house, and she couldn’t help but frown.
"The leaders from the Capital have arrived at your house, yet you’re still here. You should go home and welcome them." Lu Zhaodi nudged Chen Ju.
Chen Ju came to her senses and hurried home with her son, failing to notice the faint smile playing at the corners of Cao Hongzhu’s mouth, an excitement similar to when she heard that the leaders from the Capital were going directly to the Lu family’s house.
As a socialist fighter, she would not turn a blind eye to the corruption, extravagance, and waste that occurred within the army.
Anything she knew, she would report and expose their crimes so that they would receive their deserved punishments!
When Chen Ju returned home, Qi Gang was pouring water for the guests with an enamel jar and bowls. However, there wasn’t enough water at home which made for a very awkward situation.
Marshal Lu patted his own belly and laughed, "We already drank butter tea at Comrade Qingxue’s house, and it filled our stomachs. We just came here to sit and see, you don’t need to pour us water."
Compared to the Lu family, this place was nothing more than a doghouse!
The quilts on the kang must have been folded and then torn apart by the children. Unwashed clothes were piled up on one side, and ten or so toys such as wooden guns, wave drums, cloth tigers, and slingshots were scattered everywhere. Unwashed bowls and chopsticks were placed on the stove. The bowls still had dried-up milk powder at the bottom and around twenty pairs of shoes, mostly women’s leather shoes both new and worn, all made by Blue Begonia.
The total pairs of leather shoes owned by Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were four or five, but here, just the women’s leather shoes amounted to eight to nine pairs.
Looking at Chen Ju, who followed them in later, she was very fashionable. She had gel in her hair, wore a high-necked red woolen sweater, a dark blue woolen coat, and purple-red corduroy trousers. At first glance, they looked ninety percent new having not been worn more than a few times. On her feet were shiny Blue Begonia leather shoes, and she wore a Rolex watch on her left hand.
Another female comrade, Hu Zehong, followed suit and asked Chen Ju to lend her some clothes.
Chen Ju was not as smart as Feng Qingxue, but after opening the box, she realized it. She was about to close the box, but Hu Zehong quickly propped it open, holding the lid with one hand and rummaging through the bottom with the other.
Actually, she didn’t have to rummage through it to know that the contents of the accusation letter regarding Qi Gang’s family were true.
Apart from the clothes worn and torn by the children playing in the box, the rest were mostly new clothes. Underneath, there were stacks of new fabrics. She also found several watch boxes. There was one Omega watch, one Dita Von Teese watch, one Plum watch, one IWC watch along with one Shanghai brand and one Tianjin brand watch. Coupled with the Rolex on Chen Ju’s hand, she had a total of seven watches.
... She overestimated her own speed. She will continue to write after eating and will certainly vent her feelings today.
