Zhang Cui's quiet words warmed Su Tang's heart.
The group went to Zhang Cui's home, where she immediately started boiling dumplings.
Aunt Wang and Sister Li sat to one side, talking with Su Tang.
"Now that something's happened to Hu Lili, there's no one to look after the children in our family compound."
As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, Sister Li chimed in, "Isn't that the truth. But I heard Lin Qian from the cultural troupe volunteered for the job."
As she spoke, Sister Li's gaze fell on Su Tang and Lu Xiao.
Lin Qian was in the cultural troupe. When the troupe wasn't required for performances, she would generally help out around the military base.
She was like a brick, moved wherever she was needed.
Sister Li didn't believe Lin Qian actually wanted to watch the children. It was obvious her true intentions lay elsewhere.
She wasn't after the children, but Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao clearly understood the implication in Sister Li's words, so he didn't say anything.
