Liu Xiuying was still a little confused. "Mom, what do you mean?"

"You're such a coward, all talk and no action."

Aunt Yu Cui was too lazy to argue with her silly daughter. "Since you don't want to take the initiative yourself, but you don't want to give up either, isn't it the best way to ask Jing Yu to find out what the other party thinks?"

"this……"

Liu Xiuying blushed with embarrassment and couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to ask someone like that?"

"This isn't good enough, so what do you want?"

Aunt Yu Cui gritted her teeth in anger, "You dare to go and ask me yourself?"

"I……"

Liu Xiuying shook her head and whispered in response, "I wouldn't dare!"

I don't even have the courage to meet them now, let alone ask them what they think.

"Alright, you're just a coward."

Seeing her reaction, Aunt Yu Cui felt even more relieved.

At least my daughter knows her limits and won't do anything reckless.

He simply instructed, "Just wait for news. If it's meant to be your marriage, it won't be. If it's not, don't force it. You'll eventually find the right person."

"Mom, I understand."

"You better live up to your expectations. Stop looking like you've lost your soul all the time; it's annoying to see you like that."

"Mom~"

...

After the mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk.

Liu Xiuying waited with a hint of anticipation for the news to arrive.

On this peaceful day.

Tian Danxiong, who had been recuperating in the courtyard, finally stood up.

Unfortunately, his legs weren't strong enough to carry him far.

I could only walk a few slow steps before I couldn't take it anymore.

Sweating profusely, Tian Danxiong was helped to sit down.

He let out a long sigh of relief. "Finally, I can walk again."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency."

Gao Fan said softly, "It's just a bone fracture. It will recover naturally as long as you take good care of it."

Now, almost four months have passed, and your fracture has completely healed.

"Hmm, not bad."

Tian Danxiong wiped the sweat from his forehead, his expression returning to calm. "Any news?"

"The four of them have just arrived in the county town, settled down, and brought some news with them."

Gao Fan responded in a low voice, "The military has already investigated, and apart from official channels, no other place has been sending medicine during this period."

Last year, two batches of drugs without any manufacturer's address were delivered, and I don't know why the military personnel dared to use them.

"Why are you afraid to use it?"

Tian Danxiong sneered, "Compared to waiting to die, it's good enough to have medicine to take. Who cares where these medicines come from?"

By the way, how effective is the medicine?

"fine."

Gao Fan responded in a low voice, "I heard it's even better than the medicine delivered through official channels, which is why the military leaders want to buy more of this medicine."

Tian Danxiong asked again in a deep voice, "Have any military units stationed across the country experienced this situation?"

"According to the reports, no similar drugs have been found."

Gao Fan said, "Those two batches of drugs seem to have appeared out of thin air. Many people are trying to find their source, but it seems that all information has been erased."

"The investigation couldn't uncover anything, so the person who made the move is no ordinary individual."

After thinking for a moment, Tian Danxiong asked again, "Has Yang Shujue shown any unusual behavior lately? Has she continued to sell drugs?"

What were they doing in the county town during this time?

"Bought a small Western-style house."

Gao Fan personally went to investigate and found out a lot of information: "Lin Jingyu, Peng Shiyu, and Yang Shujue have all bought small villas in the county town."

The old man from the Zhang family now lives in a small Western-style house in the county town.

I never imagined that those three girls could afford such a small villa.

"You underestimate them."

Tian Danxiong snorted and said, "Lin Jingyu's family may seem like that of an ordinary working-class daughter, but in fact her parents are leaders of a large factory."

Ordinary workers earn only twenty or thirty yuan a month, while leaders of large factories earn at least forty or fifty yuan. Lin Jingyu's parents earn nearly a hundred yuan a month combined.

Besides, have you forgotten who Old Man Zhang is?

At this point, Tian Danxiong's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "In the past, not just anyone could be a bodyguard, especially during times of war, when bodyguards were all ruthless characters."

These people survived, and the wealth they accumulated ensured that three generations of their families would have no worries about food and clothing.

Do you still think Lin Jingyu can't afford a small villa?

Gao Fan lowered his head and replied, "It was my shortsightedness."

"Peng Shiyu's status goes without saying; she certainly won't lack money."

Tian Danxiong narrowed his eyes, his tone tinged with suspicion, "Only Yang Shujue is the most mysterious. According to the information that came back from the investigation, she is just a daughter from an ordinary family."

She was not favored at home either; her family was among the poorest.

Since she arrived in Shuibu Village, her actions have made her seem unlike a poor owner.

She can afford to spend over a hundred yuan to buy a substitute teaching spot.

If a girl from a similar family background were to go to the countryside, carrying a few dozen yuan with her was considered a sign of being pampered at home.

It's quite unusual that she, who had just arrived in the countryside, was able to build her own house and even spend money to buy substitute teaching slots.

However, it's not surprising that she dared to engage in buying and selling on the black market and had earned some money in the past.

In addition, she was dating Su Jingtian, so it's understandable that she had the money to buy the villa.

But how did she, a woman without any powerful connections or influential figures, manage to thrive in the black market?

It's truly intriguing to think that a girl raised in an ordinary family could possess such abilities.
