A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 756 The situation is serious

Gui'er stopped thinking about Jinbao and asked quickly, "What's going on? I haven't heard anything from Sha Yanyao."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wenjie came back from outside and Miss Shen hurried to greet him.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

Guier was also very concerned.

"Wenjie is back. My mother-in-law and I went to see a doctor today." Mrs. Xu came out of the living room and grabbed Xu Wenjie.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell? Did you get any medicine? Are you feeling better now?" Xu Wenjie asked with concern.

"Oh, it wasn't me, it was you two. You two have been married for a while now, but Fengshu's belly is still not moving. So my in-laws and I went to see a doctor who is said to be a gynecologist. He prescribed some pregnancy-maintaining medicine for Fengshu, and the doctor who treated you also said that it would only be effective if both of you treat it together."

"Mother, what are you doing? We told you to just let it go." Xu Wenjie said awkwardly.

"Just let nature take its course, but you still have to put in some effort. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare it. I'll ask you to come down and drink it when the time comes. You must drink it. I know you young people are busy with your careers, but having children shouldn't be delayed either. Go and take care of yourselves first."

Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie went upstairs awkwardly. Gui'er was so embarrassed that she could probably figure out the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with her toes, but she was eager to know about her comrade's situation, so she followed them into the study.

When Xu Wenjie saw her enter the study, he said to Miss Shen, "Why are you saying these things to a child like her? She'll be frightened again later."

Gui'er said, "Brother Xu, please don't blame Sister Feng Shu. She told me what she should have done. What if there's something I can do? After all, I'm Sha Yanyao's nominal sister. I can come and go in the Sha Mansion. Maybe I can find out something from him?"

"Don't do that," Xu Wenjie said seriously. "This time, they're arresting people differently than before. They don't ask for evidence, they're just making secret arrests. The comrade we had contact with before has actually gone silent. We only meet up once in a while, but this time he didn't show up for the meeting. I went to look for him and found spies lying in ambush around his residence. He's probably been secretly arrested."

"What should we do? Does he know the location of our school? Do we need to move?" Guier asked anxiously.

Xu Wenjie shook his head and said, "I don't know. We all went to the agreed location to meet. If we couldn't wait at the agreed location, there was a backup agreed location. The reason I know where he lives is because when we met, we sometimes chatted and he said he lived in that area. But as soon as I walked into that area, I saw people from the Military Commission, so I quickly retreated."

Miss Shen asked: "Does he know about the school and our home?"

Xu Wenjie tried to recall and said, "I don't think he knows. I don't recall ever mentioning this to him."

Miss Shen and Gui'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But he recognized me. Sometimes I would go to the cells under the Military Commission to register personnel..." Xu Wenjie said hesitantly.

"Then Brother Xu, please take some leave." Gui'er said, "Aunt Xu just told you to have a child. You can use this as an excuse and say you need to go home to recuperate."

Miss Shen said with a hint of embarrassment: "How can this be an acceptable reason? It's too embarrassing, isn't it?"

"Life is more important right now," Gui'er said, frowning. "Why would the Military Commission suddenly go crazy and bite like crazy?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, you must be extra careful and protect yourself during this period."

"Is there any way to save the arrested comrade?" asked Miss Shen.

"No, I can't access such confidential information as I am a marginal person."

The three of them had said everything they needed to say, but they still hadn't come to a conclusion and were all feeling a little uneasy.

Until the next day when she went to school, Gui'er was still a little sad. Ah Cheng saw this and asked, "Are you still sad about what happened at Jinbao's place yesterday?"

Gui'er was not in a position to tell him about her comrades, so she could only smile and nod.

Ah Cheng smiled and said, "You have so many things to worry about at such a young age. But don't worry about Jinbao's affairs. Your big brother won't sit idly by. I guess he will take action soon."

Gui'er thought she could get some information, so she found a day and went to Sha's house under the pretext of paying her respects.

The lady was still the same, but Miss Tian was indifferent. Sha Yanyao was very happy to see her. He took her hand and asked Guier to chat with him.

"Is Gui'er used to living there? If not, then move back."

"Ms. Shen's family is very nice to me. However, Xu Wenjie's mother always goes to temples to burn incense and pray to the Goddess of Childbirth, hoping that they will have a son or daughter."

"Oh, your ex-wife has been separated from you for so long. You still don't have any children. You have already married three and become a father. It seems that you are much more fortunate than her." Miss Tian said sarcastically.

"Miss Shen is busy with work, there's nothing we can do about it." Guier quickly defended Miss Shen.

"By the way, Gui'er, why did Xu Wenjie suddenly ask for a long vacation?" Sha Yanyao asked suddenly.

"Oh, well, it's because they've been married for so long and still don't have children, so the mothers of both families prescribed some fertility medication. But it seems that it takes both of them taking care of it at the same time. Maybe that's why you need to take some time off to rest."

After hearing this, Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "So that's how it is. I hope she can achieve her wish after treatment." Then he stopped caring about it.

Gui'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she chatted there for a long time and the topic could never get to the recent arrest operation. Finally, she gave up and prepared to leave.

After saying goodbye to my wife and the others, I walked out.

"I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." Sha Yanyao said as he followed Gui'er out.

As soon as Gui'er walked out the door, she said to Sha Yanyao, "Brother, I'm going back first."

Sha Yanyao had a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it. He said, "Let me take you there."

Having said that, he walked out of the gate of Sha Mansion with Gui'er.

At this time, he suddenly said: "Xu Wenjie, it's better to take a leave now. Let him and Fengshu have a child and live a good life. The Military Commission has been very busy recently and has arrested many suspected communists."

"Suspected of being a communist? You mean there's no evidence? Can you arrest someone for that?"

"The Communist Party is a traitor. When the state apparatus deals with traitors, does it need evidence?"
