There is a Soldier in the Family

About This Novel
Early in the morning, Jiulan had just entered the latrine and unbuttoned her pants before squatting down, when a shrill howl came from outside the low earthen wall: There is a soldier in the family, and I am a member of the glorious army... It was the crazy father-in-law who was howling! Jiulan almost peed her pants. She tightened her belt indiscriminately and ran out of the hut. She was dumbfounded. Her father-in-law, who had been crazy for more than ten years, lived alone in the old wooden house. He had been bedridden with a cold in recent days and was seriously ill last night. Why was he running around like a normal person this morning? Besides, he was holding a mahogany box in his arms. The mahogany box is the lifeblood of Mavericks, and no one can touch it, including Jiulan. Mavericks wrapped the box in oilcloth and stuffed it under the bed. He had never opened it, and the lock hanging on the leather buckle was rusty. Jiulan was in shock. As soon as she came out of the room and entered the toilet, Lao Mu came in lightly, like a ghost.
