She wondered if she was being too cold-blooded, lacking the affection and tenderness that lovers in the throes of passion should have.

But then I thought about the great secret I was carrying, and wasn't this separation exactly what I wanted?

Besides, my mental age is already that of an old auntie, so mastering the I Ching is a huge advantage for me.

It's a classic case of an old cow eating young grass, and not just any young grass, but exceptionally high-quality young grass!

Chen Hong felt relieved and, over the course of a few days, gradually invested more than 100 million yuan in the stock market, buying more than 20 different stocks.

She has adjusted her mindset during this time; she is not profiting from the national crisis by buying and selling stocks.

At this critical juncture, the stock market is waiting for a large influx of funds, and many high-quality companies are waiting to be rescued!

Now that she's investing a large sum of money in stocks, it should be helpful to companies that are struggling to make ends meet.

She didn't understand the macro situation, so she just needed to keep a calm mindset and be a regular stock investor.

As long as you abide by the law and don't break the law yourself, if it affects other people's stock trading income, that's beyond your control.

My money may seem like a lot, but if I threw it into the stock market, it wouldn't even make a ripple.

Seeing that she had already bought all the high-quality stocks she remembered, Chen Hong finally logged out of the stock trading website.

I don't need to pay too much attention to the stock market lately. I'll just wait until the time I remember, then sell the stocks I hold for short-term investment and keep a few high-quality stocks for long-term investment.

Now she could live a peaceful life and focus on fishing. She then went online to check the weather forecast for the next few days.

The forecast says there will be light rain tomorrow, but starting the day after tomorrow, there will be another ten days or so of good weather.

Chen Hong thought she should prepare her things for the sea voyage. Yu Yang didn't know that Zhou Yi had already left. Chen Hong decided that she would pick up the children from school in the afternoon.

I called Xiaohao's mother to let her know that she would be picking up the children this afternoon.

Chen Hong drove her pickup truck to the town's kindergarten. She hadn't been to school for more than ten days, but many parents already recognized her.

Seeing her in line to pick up her child from school, many people were whispering among themselves:

"That must be Chen Hong from Yujia Village! Oh dear, is she here to pick up her child again?"

"It's her. I know her. She's the sister-in-law of my husband's cousin's daughter-in-law. She married into Yujia Village. Last time, my husband's cousin's family held a housewarming banquet."

According to his daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, this woman is quite something; she dared to go out to sea to fish all by herself, and she probably made money. She was the first person in their village to build a three-story house!

"Really? I've heard this woman is quite formidable. She's a fierce fighter, and most people wouldn't dare mess with her. Her family used to be involved in organized crime?"

Chen Hong was hiding in the group, quietly listening to the gossip of these uncles and aunties.

To my surprise, she had become a member of the underworld. How come I didn't know?

She decided to keep listening and see what other sensational news these gossips would spread!

"Who told you this nonsense? It's true that Chen Hong isn't bullied, but I don't believe you that she's involved in organized crime."

An elderly woman inadvertently noticed that Chen Hong seemed to be watching them, a group of gossipers, so she quickly turned her head away and changed the subject.

"Have you heard? A while ago, our Deputy Mayor Liu was caught cheating on Feng Min, a teacher at the kindergarten, by her husband!"

"I've heard the rumors circulating in town these past few days. All I know is that teacher Feng Min was fired from the kindergarten for hitting and scolding children."

That very night, her in-laws caught her in adultery, and the lover was none other than Liu Min, the deputy mayor of our town!

"This kind of morally corrupt person should have been fired long ago. I don't know how someone like this was even hired by the kindergarten?"

My child has told me several times that their homeroom teacher often hits and scolds the children, and that their class has the most children who wet their pants in the entire kindergarten!

A parent from a neighboring class asked, "What does a child wetting their pants have to do with the kindergarten teacher?"

"What do you know? The teacher in the class likes to hit and scold the children, so the children are definitely afraid of her."

I didn't dare tell her when I needed to pee, so I just had to hold it in. Can a child really hold it in? Do you think the children wetting their pants has nothing to do with Liu Min?

"Oh dear, now you know, that's so true. It's a good thing the kindergarten expelled her. The child is too young, and holding in her urine all the time is bad for her health. If she damages her bladder, wouldn't that be a serious problem?"

"That's right. We also went to the kindergarten leaders, and the kindergarten just said a few words, neither too harsh nor too mild."

This Liu Min became even more ruthless, disciplining the children without hesitation, so we dared not contact the kindergarten again.

At this moment, a neatly dressed old man said:

"I heard that Liu Min was expelled this time because she physically punished Chen Hong's child. When Chen Hong found out, she won't let her get away with it."

They hit her right there in the kindergarten, in front of the children, and I heard they even demanded an explanation from the kindergarten administration!

Chen Hong: Why is there a legend about me in every gossip column?

"Oh dear, we're so weak when it comes to the same thing. We just know how to give in and try to get by."

Look at Chen Hong, when her child was wronged, she really dared to stand up for him, even daring to challenge the kindergarten leaders!
