Zhuang Xiaoting, who happened to be passing by, witnessed this scene and recognized that the person arguing with her mother was Shen Lu.

Rushed over immediately.

"Auntie, what are you doing here?"

When the captain's wife turned around and saw her niece Zhuang Xiaoting, she angrily recounted what had happened.

Shen Lu's silence became a sore spot for the captain's wife.

So she went even further, her words becoming increasingly sharp and sarcastic.

"A woman like this would have been drowned in the pond in ancient times. If you have any shame, apologize to me before the Women's Federation arrives, and I won't pursue the matter further."

Before Shen Lu could say anything, a hoarse voice, filled with doubt, came from not far away.

"What are you all doing gathered together?"

Everyone living in this compound knows the voice of the guard captain.

Although the wife of the guard captain is usually arrogant and domineering, the guard captain is a genuinely good person who serves the people.

Everyone tolerated his wife's behavior out of respect for the captain of the guard team, and many things were not even brought to the captain's attention.

When the wife of the guard captain turned around and saw her husband, followed by a number of women's federation members, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support.

"Comrades of the Women's Federation, I want to report and expose this woman's despicable behavior. While she has a man and a child, she is having an affair with another man on the mountain, which has caused a very bad influence on us."

The wife of the guard captain was afraid of being a step too slow and having someone beat her to it, so she started talking like a machine gun.

At the same time, Shen Lu'an was also accused of many unfounded crimes.

This made Shen Lu laugh in anger, and she stepped forward to confront the person.

"Reports and whistleblowing must be based on solid evidence. Without evidence, I will sue you for defamation!"

"The evidence is my man. Yesterday, my man went up the mountain to catch your lover, but he must have been threatened by you to keep quiet."

The captain's wife held her head high with a smug look on her face, completely oblivious to her husband's dark, inky complexion.

Just when the wife of the guard captain thought Shen Lu was doomed, the guard captain shouted angrily.

"You stupid woman, shut up!"

The wife of the guard captain was so frightened by her husband's reprimand that she stood there speechless.

Everyone was stunned by the unexpected turn of events.

Why did the guard captain start cursing at his wife? Was Shen Lu's threat really that scary?

Although the director of the Women's Federation did not understand what had happened, she still took the lead in speaking out.

"Take care of the trivial matters in your own compound first, and don't let bad habits spread in the compound."

The guard captain nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, everything is usually fine. This time there was some misunderstanding."

The director of the Women's Federation opened her notebook and asked in a businesslike tone, "Where is Comrade Shen Lu?"

The captain of the guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the person who had just been reported by his wife.

"This is him."

The director of the Women's Federation gave the captain of the guard team a deep look.

No one understood why the Women's Federation director would come to see Shen Lu. They all held their breath and stared at the Women's Federation director with gossipy expressions.

"In recognition of your heroic act of bravery the day before yesterday afternoon, I hereby formally award you a national-level honorary award and the highest national medal on behalf of the All-China Women's Federation."

National-level honors and awards!

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

Very few people in the entire province can win national-level awards, let alone the highest national honor medal!

What earth-shattering thing has Shen Lu done?!

The director of the Women's Federation had no idea what earth-shattering thing this woman had done; she was simply carrying out the task as instructed by her superiors.

After saying that, he instructed Shen Lu to wait for notification to attend the award ceremony.

After saying that, he left without looking back.

The people in the courtyard were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

This is a national-level honor and award. With this honor, they dare not even imagine how smooth and successful Shen Lu's life will be from now on.

The residents of the compound were opportunistic. After one of them asked Shen Lu if she wanted to come to his house for dinner...

Other residents swarmed over.

"Comrade Shen, come to my house. I'll have my wife cook two good dishes."

"Shen Lu's wife, come to my house. Your twins are the closest to my son."

"If you ask me, why don't you come to my place instead..."

*

At home, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze, unaware of the situation, were fuming.

Gu Xiaohua patiently persuaded the two little ones.

"Don't worry, your mother won't be wronged!"

While she couldn't guarantee anything else, Gu Xiaohua was well aware of Gu Xiao's influence; even if people didn't care about the monk, they would still care about the Buddha.

"What right does she have to talk about my mother like that!"

Shen Lu heard Gu Xingyu's words as soon as she entered the house.

This is the child's recognition and protection of her; her efforts during this time have not been in vain.

Shen Lu rushed into the house.

The two little ones anxiously surrounded her, looking Shen Lu up and down. Just looking wasn't enough; they tugged and pulled at her body with their little hands, as if they wanted to stare a hole through her.

Gu Xiaohua clutched her stomach and struggled to get up from the chair.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Shen Lu smiled and shook her head: "A great victory. She was exaggerating and making things up, but seeing the captain of the guard team cleared up all the misunderstandings."

Hearing Shen Lu say this, Gu Xiaohua and the two little ones breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Lu gently rubbed the tip of each of the twins' noses.

"Next time, you're not allowed to fight with anyone. In situations like this, running away is the most important thing."

Recalling Zhuang Xiaolong's robust physique, Shen Lu, an adult, might not be able to handle those three children, let alone Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze, who were both thinner than the average person.

If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it.

The two little ones lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

After a long while, Gu Xingyu finally raised his head, and large tears rolled down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

Recalling the scene of his hat being torn to shreds and set on fire by Zhuang Xiaolong, Gu Xingyu's voice trembled with suppressed sobs.

"But those are the hats you made for us, and my brother and I both really like them."

Gu Xingze's eyes also reddened.

This was the first time their mother had given them a gift. He and his brother were like two little mice who had been spying on other people's happiness, and they had finally found their own happiness.

But there are always some annoying people who ruin their hard-won happiness.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu felt a lump in her throat.

He stepped forward and hugged the two little ones.

This was the first time Shen Lu had seen the two little ones shed tears.

In the original owner's memory, the two little ones had never cried since they were old enough to understand, no matter whether the original owner hit or scolded them.

I never imagined that the hats I casually gave to the two little ones would be so important to them.

"Xiaoyu and Xiaoze, don't cry. Mom will make you hats again tomorrow, and they will be exactly the same as before."

"It's because Mom neglected you before, but Mom will give you lots and lots of gifts from now on."

In their mother's warm embrace, the two little ones, barely five years old, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Shen Lu's clothes were soaked with hot tears, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

The rare heartwarming scene between the mother and her two children was too much for Gu Xiaohua, who was pregnant, to bear, and she too shed tears.

Having finally calmed the twins down, Shen Lu invited Gu Xiaohua to have dinner at her home.
