After a while, the phone line was connected. Lu Wu’s voice came from the receiver: “Second Brother, what do you want to talk to me about again?”
“…Fifth Uncle, it’s me.” Lu Zhou said.
“Oh, my little nephew!” Lu Wu said with a smile, and then he lowered his voice, “Your father is not with you now, right?”
“He’s not here.” Lu Zhou said.
“That’s good, that’s good!” Lu Wu said, “Don’t worry, nephew. We won’t listen to your father. We should do what we should do and follow what we said before!”
“Okay, thank you, Fifth Uncle.” Lu Zhou thanked him.
“Why are you being so polite to Fifth Uncle!” Lu Wu said generously.

Zhao Suisui and Lu Zhou both finished the call with ‘ulterior motives’.
Lu Rong knew nothing about the call between the two children, and Ma Wei knew nothing about it either.
Ma Wei didn’t know that his performance today had attracted Zhao Suisui’s attention.
Ma Wei was of course very wary of the Feng family, otherwise, he wouldn’t even know the name of Feng He, a married daughter.
But according to his observation, Feng He should not know him, so Ma Wei secretly made up his mind to stay away from the Zhao family.
It was just a pity that Lu Rong couldn’t help him.
Ma Wei was filled with regret, but at the same time, his mind became clearer.
He was so crazy before because he couldn’t accept the gap. But now that he unexpectedly ran into the Feng family, Ma Wei realized that he had almost forgotten something more dangerous…
Ma Wei no longer felt disgusted and decided to stay peacefully in his current unit for a few years. He would look for other opportunities after the limelight had passed.
But things obviously did not go as he wished.
A few days later, Ma Wei received a transfer order, asking him to leave his current job and work in another remote county.
The person who reacted most to this matter was not Ma Wei, but Ma Hongwen.
Ma Hongwen had not been to school for many days. After such a thing happened, she did not want to see other classmates in school at all.
However, after staying at home for a long time, Ma Hongwen became more and more extreme. She was throwing tantrums every day and wanted to go back to Beijing.
As a result, she did not go back to Beijing, but she got the news that their family was going to move to a more remote county. Therefore, Ma Hongwen immediately exploded.
“I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to this crappy county town. I want to go back to Beijing!” Ma Hongwen threw a tantrum at home.
As a stepmother, Xu Man couldn’t say much. She had been tortured by Ma Hongwen for a long time and was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she didn’t say anything at this moment.
Ma Wei was in a very bad mood when he received this notice. Although the work in Songnan City was very bad in his eyes, compared with the county town, the county town was incomparable in any way…
Now that Ma Hongwen was crying again, Ma Wei was extremely annoyed and couldn’t help but slap Ma Hongwen in the face: “If you make trouble again, don’t go anywhere. Stay here alone!”
“You actually hit me!” Ma Hongwen covered her face in disbelief and said, “I’ll go alone. I want to go back to Beijing to find my grandparents!”
After that, Ma Hongwen ran to the door and prepared to rush out.
However, when her hand just touched the door handle, there was a knock on the door. Ma Hongwen opened the door and two men in uniform stood at the door.
“Ma Wei, you are suspected of sabotaging the revolution. Please come with us.” The man outside the door held up the letter of certification in his hand and said expressionlessly.
