Jiang Jingxue's sudden invitation stunned Sun Youzhi.

This seafood market is truly the culmination of his hard work.

If his wife hadn't been seriously ill, he wouldn't have been willing to sell it at all.

He originally thought that once the problem of the holdout residents was resolved, he would be able to leave this place for good, but he never expected to receive an invitation from Jiang Jingxue.

"Brother Sun, if you have other things to do, then there's no need to trouble yourself."

Jiang Jingxue saw him standing there in a daze and assumed he was unwilling.

Sun Youzhi quickly replied, "Nothing else, I have time!"

Having resolved the issues at the aquatic product farm, Jiang Jingxue prepared to go home.

She turned her head and saw Gu Pingwei staring at her with a look of infatuation.

Gu Pingwei's eyes were filled with love and admiration.

In the countryside, late at night.

Jiang Zhizhi, her face flushed, climbed out of Chen Zhiqing's bed.

Chen Zhiqing hooked his arm around her waist.

"Why don't you sleep here tonight?"

"Stop fooling around."

Jiang Zhizhi buttoned her clothes with a shy expression.

"If someone sees me sleeping with you, what will become of my reputation?"

Although Jiang Zhizhi offered herself to Chen Zhiqing in order to climb the social ladder, she would occasionally come to his door to sleep with him.

But she also knew that gossip in the village could be a terrible thing.

If she, an unmarried young woman, were to be discovered to have had an affair, her reputation would be ruined for life.

So she only dared to sneak in at night and sneak out afterward.

Jiang Zhizhi buttoned up her clothes, turned around, and hugged Chen Zhiqing.

"By the way, did you find out about what I asked you to find out? Is my sister really dead or not?"

Chen Zhiqing's hands were restless, rubbing Jiang Zhizhi's breasts through her clothes.

"Of course I asked. Don't worry, your sister is still alive."

"What?"

Jiang Zhizhi was shocked when she heard the news.

That can't be right. Wasn't there a cholera outbreak in the area where Jiang Jingxue was doing disaster relief? How could she possibly be alive?

"Have you found out? Is that person really my sister? Or could it be that you asked about the wrong person?"

Jiang Zhizhi pressed on, somewhat unwilling to give up.

Chen, the educated youth, reached his hand inside her clothes.

"There's no mistake, your sister is not only alive, she's also booked an entire seafood market and is preparing to start a business. I heard that she and Major Gu are getting married soon, and the whole Gu family is very satisfied with her."

Upon hearing his description, Jiang Zhizhi was certain that Jiang Jingxue was indeed alive.

I can't believe she's so lucky; she actually came back alive!

There was a hint of resentment in Jiang Zhizhi's eyes.

"What? Has your sister not contacted you since she went there? Did you two sisters have a falling out?"

Chen Zhiqing looked at Jiang Zhizhi with a probing gaze.

Jiang Zhizhi was an extremely proud person, and she didn't want others to know about her relationship with Jiang Jingxue, so she quickly added, "Of course not, we sisters have a very good relationship."

“My sister went to participate in disaster relief a while ago. She didn’t want us to worry, so she didn’t tell us. We only found out later. As long as my sister is okay, I’m relieved.”

“My sister is about to marry Major Gu. She said that once life there is stable, she will bring my mother and me over to live a better life.”

Chen Zhiqing just smiled after hearing this, and his hands continued to grope Jiang Zhizhi's body until he pushed her back onto the bed.

He couldn't say he particularly liked Jiang Zhizhi.

But in this poor and remote place, a young and beautiful country girl offered herself to him to satisfy his physical needs.

Only a fool would refuse.

Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss.

He also knew that Jiang Zhizhi approached him only because his family had some connections and she wanted to take advantage of it.

On the other side.

Jiang Jingxue is still busy with her career.

She was getting ready to get up before dawn.

She moved quietly, afraid of waking Gu Pingwei next to her.

But a soldier's keen senses immediately brought Gu Pingwei to his senses.

He took her hand.

Why are you up so early today?

Jiang Jingxue didn't hide anything and simply laid it all out on the table.

“I want to go to the small fishing village. The seafood market should be back on track by now. The seafood from the villagers in the small fishing village where we were doing disaster relief last time was quite good. I want to go and talk to them and ask them to supply the market.”

With such a diligent and hardworking fiancée, Gu Pingwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Every night, she would turn on the lamp and read until late into the night.

After finally getting into bed, he wanted to hold her and sleep a little longer.

Unexpectedly, she had to get up and go out to work again so early in the morning.

"Don't work so hard, I can support you."

Gu Pingwei couldn't bear to see her so tired every day, so he spoke very seriously.

"You know, opening a seafood market is my dream, and there are many things I have to do myself."

Gu Pingwei knew that Jiang Jingxue was a strong-willed person who did not want to depend on anyone.

He respected her choice.

"Okay, I'll have Qin Liang take you."

Jiang Jingxue kissed Gu Pingwei on the forehead.

Thank you for understanding me.

Gu Pingwei's greatest virtue was that he gave her full respect and support.

Whether it's adopting a child, opening a seafood market, or taking the adult college entrance examination.

Jiang Jingxue's kiss completely won over Gu Pingwei, leaving him utterly bewildered.

Two hours later.

Jiang Jingxue arrived at the familiar little fishing village.

The villagers were very excited to see Jiang Jingxue.

"Comrade Jiang is here! Our savior is here!"
