Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1085

Chapter 1085: Chapter 958: Lend a Helping Hand

It was dinner time, and the Dai Family was on the way to the big dining hall. The crowd outside grew larger and larger, each person looking tense as they stared at the door, waiting for those who had gone in to come back and report, regardless of whether their intentions were malicious or kind.

Gradually, time slowly passed. After waiting for over an hour, finally, in their anxious anticipation, the people inside came out one by one.

Everybody’s eyes were focused on a few individuals, noticing their empty hands and the dejected expressions of the Red Guards, which couldn’t stop everyone from starting to gossip.

Zhang Guoqing reacted quickly, immediately nudging Zhang Hongwei who was about to inquire, and the two walked to Old Man Dai. "Sir, sorry to have caused you this trouble; Hongwei and the others were just doing their duty, please don’t take offense."

"It’s good that the matter has been clarified. Sir, is there something you’re doing that makes the children feel you’re biased? You should have a good talk with them later."

As he spoke, he motioned to Zhang Hongwei with a glance. "Hongwei, you don’t know what it’s like for us soldiers; when we’re busy, we don’t even have time to eat, let alone communicate with the juniors..."

Over there, the young girl from the Dai family was staring in disbelief at the hands of those who came out. After a moment, she snapped out of it and yelled uncontrollably, "Impossible! How can it be? I saw it with my own eyes, it was in the study today, did you not search thoroughly? Did you search the old man’s bedroom?"

Upon hearing this, one Red Guard immediately leaned in to whisper in Zhang Hongwei’s ear, "Boss, we even searched the bathroom, and indeed found nothing suspicious like banned books. But there were plenty of newspapers and military magazines. We also found lots of medals..."

Zhang Guoqing’s mouth twitched at this interruption.

Zhang Hongwei was quite capable; without waiting for his subordinate to finish speaking, he immediately pushed him aside and smiled at Old Man Dai, "Sir, sorry for the inconvenience. As my Brother Wu said, we were just doing our duty, please don’t take offense."

What else could Old Man Dai say? He waved his hand, looking downcast, "Ah, don’t blame yourselves; it’s all the family misfortune, making everyone laugh today."

Zhang Guoqing gave Zhang Hongwei a blank stare.

This kid was getting brazen with age; luckily, he spoke softly, otherwise Zhang Guoqing would have been seen as their accomplice in this reckless behavior.

"Right, the bedroom, it must be in the bedroom. I’ll help you search."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the out-of-control girl and looked at his wife, the "do-gooder," who followed the girl inside, feeling frustrated by the mess.

"Brother Wu, I’ll take my leave now."

"Okay, let me see you off."

"No need, no need."

Zhang Guoqing whispered, "Quickly go, before the patrol team arrives."

Zhang Hongwei gave him a grateful look and promptly left with his subordinates. If they had found that the person was guilty, it would have been easier to explain. But now, things were misunderstood, and if Old Man Dai held onto them, although he could eventually extricate himself, who knows if they’d retaliate privately?

Ah, thankfully, he had Zhang Guoqing as a loyal friend; otherwise, this courtyard was not easy to get into. If it hadn’t been for that dead girl of this dead old man leading them in, he wouldn’t have been able to approach the front door.

"Thanks, Xiao Wu."

Hearing Old Man Dai’s gratitude, Zhang Guoqing quickly denied it softly, considering there was still a lunatic in the Dai family, "No, sir, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t do anything.

I just ran into an acquaintance for a chat. You know me, I like joining in on the fun, but you were wronged, and if it were true, I wouldn’t have been able to help."

Whether it was true or not, Old Man Dai knew. Although he didn’t understand why some things disappeared, it was inseparable from the subtle assistance of Zhang Guoqing and his wife.

The old man smiled at him, "Alright, the old man knows what’s going on."

Zhang Guoqing smiled, walked away from him, and went to find his wife.

What gratitude was there?
