Old Master Xu walked around the family without saying a word, then said to the militia captain, "It's said that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, but Mingyang's affairs aren't exactly a secret. Since they're out in the open, why not clarify the cause and effect? ​​Li Jiabao has done so many heinous things and amassed ill-gotten gains; I don't believe his family doesn't know. Captain, today I'm making a formal report accusing the Li family of condoning criminals and enjoying the ill-gotten gains of these criminals. I request the Revolutionary Committee to investigate the truth and restore justice to the people."

The Li family was completely stunned. Hadn't they come today to ask for help in hoping that Li Jiabao's death sentence could be commuted? How did they end up getting themselves involved?

Li Jiabao's sister-in-law panicked and immediately said, "Comrade leader, comrade leader, we have been living separately for a long time. We really don't know what Li Jiabao did. Today, my mother-in-law asked us to come and make up the numbers."

Li Jiabao's older brother was also a coward. Although he wasn't fully aware of what his younger brother had done, it was impossible for him not to know. Their brotherly relationship was fairly good; Li Jiabao would sometimes give him a little something when he received a benefit. But he couldn't say anything now! He didn't want to die; he hadn't lived enough as a human being yet!

"Yes, yes, my wife is right. We separated a long time ago. My husband and I have to work hard every day to support our family and raise our children. We simply don't have time to pay attention to what Jiabao is doing."

Old Mrs. Li was furious that her eldest son and his wife would speak like that in front of so many people. Just as she was about to explode in anger, Old Mr. Li pulled her back.

Old Li was now quite clear-headed. It was all his wife's fault for rashly asking for help without understanding the situation. Now, instead of helping, she had dragged them all down with her.

Everyone knows that the Xu family is very protective of their own. He saw the fierce look in Old Man Xu's eyes just now very clearly. He definitely has to go to the Revolutionary Committee. He just hopes that his wife won't say anything more out of line.

The militiamen did not release them because of what the eldest son and his wife said. They originally wanted Xu Xinning to drive the tractor to take them away, but Yang Chunqin thought that the fuel cost of their brigade's tractors was not something that could be bought with a feather. The fuel cost had to be covered by the brigade where the Li family lived. Fearing that Xu Xinning might be fooled by those old foxes, she simply drove the tractor to take them away herself.

Wang Ying watched the whole scene and was surprised that Yang Chunqin was so decisive and efficient, resolving the matter in such a short time. She truly witnessed what it meant to protect one's own.

Wang Ying watched the departing tractor thoughtfully.

As Wang Ying watched the tractor drive away, Xu Xinning was staring at her.

Xu Xinning has deep feelings for Wang Ying, and in turn, Wang Ying has always protected Xu Xinning from childhood to adulthood. This kind of feeling cannot be faked.

Xu Xinning once thought Wang Ying was the most perfect woman. She was good-looking, educated, and knowledgeable, and had a broad mind. Even when Old Lady Chen was sarcastic and sometimes deliberately made things difficult for her, she never got angry.

When Xu Xinning first came back, she asked her why she wasn't angry.

She laughed and said that Old Mrs. Chen was just feeling empty and seeking a sense of existence, so she didn't need to pay any attention to her.

Xu Xinning didn't think much of what he said at the time, but later she realized that it didn't make sense; Old Mrs. Chen would never feel empty.

Later, I heard from my grandmother that Old Mrs. Chen treated Chen Ping's ex-wife very well. The two were like a mother and daughter. She even had her adopted daughter come to cause trouble. In the end, Old Mrs. Chen got the brigade to write a letter of severance, and the adopted daughter never came to visit again.

Old Mrs. Chen was an extremely cheerful person; she never held back her thoughts overnight and always spoke her mind on the spot.

Besides, there's never a quiet time in the Xu family when Xu Laosan is around. What's there for Old Mrs. Chen to be watching all day while she's perched on the wall?

Xu Xinning didn't want to suspect Wang Ying about Old Lady Chen's matter, but she trusted her instincts and felt that Wang Ying was involved in this incident.

Why did she do that?

Is it because Old Mrs. Chen and she don't get along?

Is that really the case?

After returning home, washing up, and having breakfast, Xu Xinning went to the medical station to study how to treat Old Mrs. Chen.

Uncle Xiao'er's wound is healing very well, and the couple has wanted to go back for a long time. However, they live in the mountains, and Xu Xinning is worried that Uncle Xiao'er's wound cannot withstand the strain, so they are currently still staying at the medical station.

However, it's good that they're around. Xu Xinning has accumulated a lot of stock during this time, and Mu Zhenting took most of it with him when he left.

In fact, Mu Zhenting had ulterior motives. He not only wanted to benefit himself, but he also wanted to take the medicine to the military so that they could study it. If possible, Mu Zhenting wanted Xu Xinning to have a long-term cooperation with the military, which would be beneficial to both parties.

Xu Xinning didn't expect Mu Zhenting to think so much. She was a person who had never been ambitious in either her past or present life; she only wanted the people around her to be well.

Xu Mingyang and Mu Jingheng returned in the late afternoon.

As soon as Xu Mingyang returned, he went to the place where his grandfather worked. He and his grandfather are very affectionate now, as if the two of them are trying to make up for the father-son relationship that they lost over the years.

Mu Jingheng came to the medical station again. Now that he was openly pursuing Xu Xinning, his family had given their permission, making it much easier than before. He secretly resolved that it would only take a month at most…

No!

Two months is fine too...

If his Xin'er is embarrassed, three months isn't out of the question...

This is the bottom line; the relationship between the two of them must be defined within this timeframe.

Strangely enough, before he confessed to Mu Zhenting, he didn't seem so sure that he really couldn't live without Xu Xinning. But after he confessed, that ambiguous and hazy feeling suddenly became clear. He was very certain that she was the other half he wanted most, as if their relationship was meant to be this way.

When Mu Jingheng arrived at the medical station, his second aunt's husband and Xu Xialian were skillfully making pills, while Xu Xinning was sitting at the table reading a book. The book seemed to be quite old; upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was a handwritten copy with a brush. The incense burner on the table was burning incense that Xu Xinning had made herself, and the scent was light and faint, making people feel very at ease.

In Mu Jingheng's eyes, Xu Xinning was always so quiet and unassuming, as if nothing could affect her. Her movements were elegant, and she seemed to possess an innate nobility.

Sometimes Mu Jingheng would inexplicably feel that Xu Xinning did not belong to this world, because even if she was right in front of you, it seemed like you could never grasp her.

Xu Xinning's tastes are also quite unique. Even though Mu Jingheng has seen many good things, he always feels that they are not as precious as the things she casually tinkers with.

Mu Jingheng tiptoed to Xu Xinning's side, found a seat, and quietly watched her as she read. The fragrance made him feel at ease.
