Although Li Baichuan still responded to them when they spoke, they could sense that the atmosphere was off.

The group didn't know what went wrong, and things just gradually cooled down.

Li Baichuan has finally mastered the vehicle, and the transport team is preparing to assign him to transport goods, accompanied by an experienced driver.

"Brother Chuan, wait for me. I'll study hard and try to ride with you as soon as possible." Biancheng really wanted to ride with his Brother Chuan.

But he knew his own limitations; both of them were novices, and if something happened on the road, it would be disastrous.

"Hmm." Li Baichuan was also happy that he could drive, and this experienced driver was someone he had carefully selected from several drivers.

His most important reason for choosing the Department of Transportation was to make money; it allowed him to travel all over the country and had many connections.

Everyone knows that as long as it's not brought to light, it's fine. Otherwise, why would everyone be envious of the driver's job?

There's a lot of money to be made in this, it all depends on each person's skills.

The driver that Li Baichuan chose, Master Lu, came from the poorest family among the transport team's drivers. It was said that he had a paralyzed widowed mother at home.

He has four children, and his wife passed away from an illness a couple of years ago. The family is entirely dependent on him.

Li Baichuan had observed that this man was frugal; he had never seen him eat a single meat dish in all the time he had been here.

He also dislikes getting together with others to gossip.

He may also know that he is not in good condition, and he feels inferior, so he is quite isolated compared to others in this transport team.

"Master Lu, I'll come earlier tomorrow." Li Baichuan greeted the driver. They would all be driving together tomorrow, and the drivers would come early to check the car.

"Okay." Master Lu remained silent. He had noticed the strange atmosphere in the transport team recently, but he simply didn't want to get involved.

Nothing is more important than work. He's always been cautious and is more afraid of losing his job than anyone else.

He was happy that the director had arranged for him to travel with Li Baichuan.

Because of Gao Fei's situation, the driver pairings have been reassigned. He was initially worried that he would be paired with the new driver, Yu.

Putting everything else aside, he's too enthusiastic, and he can't handle it. Basically, this kind of partnership won't break up unless something really happens.

In addition, given Comrade Li's background, they were in the same car, so he could always get some protection.

He doesn't want anything else, he just wants to keep doing his job well and not have anyone bother him.

Li Baichuan happily rode his bike home; he needed to go back and tell his wife about his upcoming trip.

"Comrade Xiao Li is back?" Li Baichuan sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the compound.

When he saw a number of people in various departmental uniforms arrive at the Li family's gate, he knew something must have happened, so he hurriedly rode his bike to the gate.

"Hmm." He nodded to the guard Xiao Liu at the door, and walked in expressionlessly. There were quite a few strangers he had never seen before at the house.

"You're back?" Su Tila pulled the person down to sit, looking at the group of people over there with flushed faces, and spoke to Li Baichuan with her head down.

"What happened?" Li Baichuan was relieved to see that his wife was alright. Looking at the group of people standing there, he recognized Grandma Kang in front of him.

No one dared to come and watch the commotion at the Li family's house; there were guards standing at the entrance.

But the Kang family arrived in a large, menacing group, and the people in the compound, fearing something might happen, quickly went to report it.

Upon hearing that someone was causing trouble, people from the military, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Armed Police Force all came and sent many people to guard the entrance.

In the end, all the neighbors in the compound came out.

They stood openly at the door watching, but the people inside the courtyard were different from the onlookers in the village.

They were all lined up, standing ramrod straight. Even watching the spectacle, one could sense a sense of order. Suti looked at these people and didn't know what to say.

"The Kang family, Grandpa and that person got divorced, so they're not willing to come and ask for any benefits."

Seeing that Li Baichuan was frowning, Su Ti explained the purpose of the Kang family's visit.

She was blunt; the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Her voice wasn't lowered at all; unless someone has hearing problems, they shouldn't have trouble hearing it.

“Xiao Su, I know you don’t like me. You’ve disliked me ever since you came into this family. I know it’s hard to be a stepmother, and it’s the same for a stepmother.”

"Isn't your real concern that I'll steal your position as the mistress of the house? I've never seen a newlywed granddaughter-in-law try to sabotage her grandparents' divorce."

Grandma Kang's eyes were red and her voice was trembling. She never expected that she would be sent back at her age.

This is forcing her to die!

"Grandma Kang, don't try to flatter me. I'm not buying it. Tell me, why don't I like you?"

“I remember you looked down on me when I first came here. I had a bad temper and we had a fight. You were unhappy and went back to the Kang family.”

"Later, you came back because of Qi Bowen. You were wholeheartedly on their side. I understand. You raised Qi Bowen, so it's only natural that you would side with him."

"But you can't try to harm me just because of him. You know I'm pregnant and can't eat those highly nutritious foods."

"Your body can't handle those things, and eating too much will make it harder to give birth later. You were a nurse when you were young, you must know all this, right? You know what you're thinking."

"That's one thing, but you knew Baichuan was married, yet you still introduced your granddaughter to him like a pimp. You're really scheming."

"On one hand, you want me to have a great tonic that will kill both you and your unborn child, and on the other hand, you're introducing your granddaughter. Are you trying to make me give way to your granddaughter?"

“When Qi Bowen was around, you fawned over him. Now it’s my Baichuan. In this family, you can’t offend Grandpa or Dad, so you have to fawn over Baichuan.”

"As for me, you find fault with me in every way. Now you ask me why I don't like you? Do you think I could like you? Do you think I dare to like you?"

"What kind of mistress of the house are you? Who do you think you are? You were just sent by the organization to take care of Grandpa. There was an agreement between you. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"

"Have you forgotten who you are after all these years? You've been targeting me, and now you're trying to pin the blame on me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Many things are difficult to say to other family members, but it's much easier to say them through Suti.

Suti didn't hold back at all, and openly exposed Old Lady Kang's petty tricks to the world.

Whether it's the people in the compound or not, this matter will spread around without them even having to say it.

"You...you..." Old Mrs. Kang pointed at the person, wanting to scold her, but every word Su Ti said was like a knife to her heart.

But every word she said was true, and she couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Not to mention the astonished looks from the people in the compound, she wished she could faint right then and there.
