Chapter 974: Chapter 978

After the police reacted, some stayed to take care of the injured, while others quickly pursued.

But with Yunyi’s eyesight, she could easily tell that the man was specially trained, and the police might not be able to catch him.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help; it’s just more effective to let the police play the long game.

After all, she hadn’t seen the content of the note that Yu Liqin looked at before, and it wouldn’t be right to expose Yu Liqin without evidence.

Yu Liqin’s mouth injury hadn’t been properly treated and she looked even more disheveled now.

After the police left with the injured Yu Liqin, Yunyi confirmed there was no one outside, climbed over the wall to the alley behind the yard, and quickly headed out.

She was afraid that Sister-in-law Lü, Wan Ruhua, would come back and not find her.

Fortunately, as soon as she came out of the alley, she saw Sister-in-law Lü, Wan Ruhua, and the other military wives approaching together.

Seeing Sister-in-law Lü looking towards the place where she usually rested, she quickly called out, "Sister-in-law, I’m here."

At this time, she was holding a small cloth bag she had just taken out from her storage space, walking toward the women with a cheerful smile.

Upon seeing her, Wan Ruhua’s initial shock quickly turned into joy, "Not seeing anyone under the tree startled me."

Yunyi raised the small bag in her hand, "I saw someone trading jujubes, so I exchanged some with them."

A military wife chimed in, "Oh dear, Huo Deputy’s family, you really have good luck. I was just eyeing the stalls hoping to find some red dates or walnuts, but didn’t have any luck."

Yunyi noticed the military wife’s clear eyes, indicating she wasn’t the type to take advantage, "Sister-in-law, if you’re in urgent need, I can share some with you."

The sister-in-law quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No need, no need, I still have some at home, enough for my daughter for a few days. I’ll look again at the next market."

Seeing the confusion on Yunyi’s face, Wan Ruhua explained, "That’s Wang Haihua, Commander Xue’s wife from your husband’s regiment. Their daughter was born premature and isn’t in good health, so they often need nutritious things like these."

As she had a date tree in her storage space and plenty of both fresh and dried dates, upon hearing that a family member of Huo Jingrui’s regiment was in need, she offered eagerly, "Sister-in-law, I have more than three pounds of red dates here, and I can’t use them all at once, sharing some with you is no problem."

Wan Ruhua saw that Yunyi didn’t seem to be just making a polite offer, "Haihua, Huo Deputy’s family is genuinely offering you this, your daughter can’t do without these things, just take them."

It was the first time Wang Haihua had encountered such generosity, and her face was full of gratitude, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much."

Yunyi was puzzled to hear her called sister-in-law.

Wang Haihua seemed to be older than her, yet she had addressed her as sister-in-law earlier, why was she now calling Yunyi the same?

Seeing Yunyi’s puzzled look, Wan Ruhua laughed, "Haihua’s husband just got transferred from another military region where the spouses are addressed according to their husband’s rank. She probably didn’t hear you call her sister-in-law earlier."

Upon hearing Wan Ruhua’s words, Wang Haihua looked embarrassed, "I’m sorry, I was really distracted just now."

Wan Ruhua laughed and said, "They say ’When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’ Here, we address spouses based on our husband’s age. Haihua, you should get used to it."
