Another half month passed, and the weather got cooler. As November arrived, the leaves of the plane trees on both sides of Fuai Road began to turn yellow.

When the first yellow leaf fell to the ground, Ye Qingqing knew that autumn had truly arrived.

Her daily life was fulfilling and busy; she studied, learned medicine, and dispensed medicine. Time seemed to fly by in her busy schedule.

Ye Hua's hand was still wrapped in a sling. Because it was his right hand that was injured, he was unable to do his homework. Chen Yanhong, feeling sorry for her son, simply let Ye Hua take a break from school and stay at home to recuperate, taking good care of him every day.

However, after being hit by Ye Qingqing, Ye Hua became much more obedient. He was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Ye Qingqing, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Ye Hua wanted to go outside and play with the children in the alley, but he found that his former playmates would avoid him and no one wanted to play with him.

Even when he tried to lure him with delicious candy, no one paid him any attention.

Despite her young age, Ye Hua is vicious and conspired with outsiders to harm her sister. The neighbors warned their children to stay away from Ye Hua!

With no one to play with, Ye Hua had no choice but to stay at home and be kept in captivity. She ate a lot but moved little, and was becoming more and more like a pig.

Ye Qingqing pretended that the family of three didn't exist, and Ye Zhiguo let her be. The machinery factory was very busy recently, with everyone from top to bottom preparing to welcome the city leaders for a visit.

As the head of the security department, Ye Zhiguo was naturally always busy, working non-stop every day, and his night shifts became more frequent.

Because of Ye Hua's matter, Shen Yanhong and Ye Zhiguo are in a cold war. Ye Zhiguo doesn't want to go home, so he simply sleeps at the factory every day.

Ye Qingqing originally thought that Hu Laosan would be released after ten days or half a month in the detention center, since it was just gambling.

But to everyone's surprise, more than half a month has passed and Hu Laosan still hasn't returned.

“Hu Laosan was sentenced to two years, how can he be released so quickly?” Zhao Di said.

Zhao Di came to visit Ye Qingqing and told her about this.

Ye Qingqing was taken aback and asked, "How could it be two years?"

Are there such severe penalties for organizing gambling?

Zhao Di said gloatingly, "There's a crackdown going on right now. Hu Laosan is a coward, so he confessed to all the bad things he did in the past. Two years is a lenient sentence for him!"

"Serves you right!"

Ye Qingqing was overjoyed; it was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.

"The neighbors are all clapping and cheering, they can't wait for Hu Laosan to be sentenced to life imprisonment!" Zhao Di said with a smile.

Ye Qingqing laughed too, "I guess I've rid the world of a scourge!"

"Absolutely, you're a big hero in our alley now."

Ye Qingqing chuckled and asked in a low voice, "Have you noticed that Shen Yanhong has been acting strangely lately at the factory?"

Zhao Di was taken aback. "What's wrong with her? I'm in the office building, and Shen Yanhong is in the cafeteria, which is quite a distance away!"

"Could you keep an eye on that woman for me when you have some free time? There might be some scandalous news about her!" Ye Qingqing winked.

During this period, Ye Zhiguo worked the night shift, sleeping at home during the day and going to the factory to work at night. His work hours were different from Shen Yanhong's, so they naturally didn't sleep in the same bed.

But Ye Qingqing noticed that Shen Yanhong's mood had improved significantly in the past few days, and she was spending more and more time on her makeup and dressing up before going to work each day.

Something's definitely up!

She wasn't too comfortable with Wei Yugang; Zhao Di was a better choice!

Zhao Di was taken aback and lowered her voice, "How is that possible?"

"You'll find out once you keep an eye on things. If you do find something, don't make a fuss," Ye Qingqing cautioned.
