"Okay! Then please ask for leave from the factory for me! I will be able to go back to work in a week at most!"

"That won't work." Ye Li disagreed with Jiang Xun's rush to go back to work. "He just had surgery, he needs to rest for a while, not just these few days!"

"There's nothing wrong with my legs and feet! I've been eating well these days and exercising my legs and feet all the time. Even when I couldn't move my legs before, I massaged them every day. My muscles haven't atrophied, they're just a little weak because they haven't been used for too long. Soon, I'll be able to throw away my crutches and walk like a normal person!"

Jiang Xun is already eager to go home.

Every extra day spent in the hospital means an extra day of expenses. He had seen the hospital bills and had silently calculated it in his mind.

The family is already in debt, and Ye Li has been running around for money, which is too tiring.

This summer, she lost a lot of weight visibly.

When he gets better and can stand up, he will take good care of her!

"I'm not worried about your legs and feet! After all, you're having brain surgery, and you need to use your brain to think all the time when you're working as a designer! So, you should just stay home for a few days and be safe."

...

...

"how long?"

Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "It can't be less than half a month!"

"Then half a month!"

"good."

Ye Li sent Jiang Xun back to the ward, and then went to the factory to ask for leave for Jiang Xun.

The leave application went very smoothly. Everyone in the department knew that Jiang Xun's operation was a life-threatening one, so it was reasonable for him to rest for a few more days.

After taking leave, there was still early time, so Ye Li decided to go to the logistics department to meet Liu Cuizhi.

"Master Qin, are there any labor protection items distributed this summer? If so, I'll take them away for Jiang Xun."

"Yes, yes, yes." Master Qin said, "It's hot in this factory, so we distributed some things to cool you down! Three pounds of mung beans per person, a box of cooling oil, and two towels! Last time I wanted to collect it on Jiang Xun's behalf, but the logistics department said there weren't enough things to distribute, so I couldn't collect it on his behalf. I'll let you collect it after a while. It's just right that you're here today, so you can go and take a look."

"That's great, I'll go now."

Ye Li was just looking for an excuse to go to the logistics department. She wanted to meet Liu Cuizhi.

After coming out of the factory office building, Ye Li went to find the logistics department.

The logistics department is not in the factory office building. The logistics department and the warehouse are together in a bungalow located in the southeast corner of the factory.

Ye Li was not very familiar with the machinery factory, so he asked around as he walked.

When passing by a workshop, I happened to meet Liu Guihua.

"Hey, Ye Li, why are you here? How is Comrade Jiang? I heard from Liu Cheng that the operation was successful. He hasn't come to see me these days, and I haven't heard about his subsequent situation."

"Very well! He can walk now! He will be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days! When he gets better, I will let him treat everyone to a meal!"

"No, no. You spent a lot of money on the surgery, and your life will be difficult from now on. There's no need to treat me to a meal. We are all family, so don't be so polite!" Liu Guihua knew Ye Li's situation and refused to let Ye Li treat her no matter what.

"Then we'll see how the situation develops when the time comes." Ye Li didn't say anything final.

"Why are you here at the factory today? Is there something going on?"

"I'm here to ask for leave for Jiang Xun, and I'll go to the logistics department to pick up Jiang Xun's labor insurance."

"What a coincidence! I want to go too! Let's go together!"

As the two of them walked along the way, Liu Guihua discovered that Ye Li was walking very slowly, which was different from before.

"Are you feeling unwell?" she asked with concern.

"Yeah, my waist is not feeling well and my legs are injured..."

"What happened? Why are you so careless?"

Ye Li told Liu Guihua about what happened at the night market that night, and also told her about how he mixed up Huang Xiuxiu and Jia Qiang and planned to bring bad luck to her.

Liu Guihua frowned when she heard this. She had no good feelings towards Huang Xiuxiu at all.

No, perhaps it should be said that it is a deeper emotion - hatred.

"Ye Li, you better be careful. Huang Xiuxiu is not a good person! You saw how she framed me for five dollars. If it weren't for you, I would never be able to clear myself of the blame in my lifetime."

"I know. That's why I don't want to sit and wait for death! Those who harm others should be punished!" Ye Li gritted his teeth.

"Then how do you punish them?" Liu Guihua thought that Ye Li was just talking.

After all, if punishment is really necessary, how can it be so easy to do?

Ye Li curled his lips, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes: "Sister Guihua, I have to ask you for help!"

"How can I help?"

Ye Li leaned close to Liu Guihua's ear and whispered a few words.

"Is this... possible?"

"Let's see if it works. Anyway, if it doesn't work, you won't lose anything, and you won't lose any meat!"

"As you say."

The two of them came to the logistics department together. Liu Guihua looked inside first and saw Liu Cuizhi, who was in charge of the warehouse in the logistics department, sitting inside drinking tea, cracking melon seeds and chatting with others.

She then quietly pointed to Ye Li and said, "That's Jia Qiang's wife."

Ye Li nodded to show that he understood.

"Excuse me, I'm here to get this year's anti-heat and cooling items!" Liu Guihua shouted first.

Several logistics employees were chatting. When they saw someone coming to pick up something, the boss was reluctant.

"Cops!" one of them said.

Liu Guihua took out the note approved by the workshop leader and said, "I'll take all the people from our workshop away!"

“Wait!”

Two logistics staff went into the warehouse to move things out, leaving two people in the room, one of whom was Liu Cuizhi.

She didn't know what to talk about with her colleagues, but she was addicted to it.

Ye Li cleared his throat and said to Liu Guihua, "Sister, is what I told you on the way okay?"

Liu Guihua was stunned by Ye Li's sudden question: "What's the matter?"

Ye Li smiled and said, "Sister, why is your memory still not so good? I told you about a distant cousin of mine who wanted to stay at your house for a few days! Two days ago, my cousin was staying at the No. 49 Guest House, and the police suddenly came to check! She was really scared."

Liu Guihua understood what Ye Li meant, so she followed her words and asked her, "What's going on? Why did the police suddenly come to check the guesthouse?"

"Don't mention it! She was just unlucky. There happened to be someone having an affair in the guesthouse where she lived!" Ye Li explained.

"Ah? Really?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you! My cousin was terrified! She saw someone being taken away! I heard the man was from the machinery factory..."

"Really? Did you hear the name? Tell me quickly so I can hear if I know it."

"Shh - keep your voice down! I don't know either. My cousin said the police asked him what his name was... He said his name was Jia... something like Qiang? I don't know either!"

Liu Cuizhi, who was talking to a colleague, heard these words. She suddenly stopped cracking melon seeds.

"Oh, don't you dare say that!" Liu Guihua hurriedly covered her mouth.

"What? Why would I say nonsense? It's true! This man is really terrible! He must have a wife at home, right? His wife washes clothes, cooks, takes care of the housework, gives birth to children and takes care of his parents-in-law, but he runs out to cheat! If I were his wife, I would be so pissed off!" Ye Li's voice got louder and louder.
