"Oh, Sister-in-law Qin, you've bought new clothes! They make you look so smart. Where did you buy them?" People in the courtyard asked when they saw Qin's mother come out in her new clothes.
It's all bright red, which looks festive. But at her age, wearing such red makes you think she's getting married!
"Sister-in-law Qin, are you planning to get married? You're dressed so festively!"
One of the jealous people asked this question.
"Oh, it's Sister-in-law Liu. You don't know, my daughter-in-law bought this dress for me. She said that since it's the New Year, I should wear something festive. I know you envy me. Okay, that's enough. Go home and cook for your husband! Otherwise, he'll beat you again when he gets back." Qin's mother wasn't angry at all when she heard this, even though it was clearly a sarcastic remark.
"Yes, Aunt Liu, this is a matching mother-daughter outfit that my sister-in-law bought for me and my mom. Aren't they beautiful? Only my mom and I have them. Ah, my family is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law. Unlike you, Aunt Liu."
Before Qin Zishuang could finish speaking, she pulled her mother away from the woman.
Aunt Liu was rendered speechless by the Qin mother and daughter, who took turns speaking to her. Every sentence she uttered felt like ten stabs to her heart.
Qin Zishuang and her mother even went to Li Yaping's place to ask what New Year's gift her daughter-in-law had given her.
This infuriated Li Yaping.
Finally, I've let out all the pent-up frustration I've been holding in.
No one knows who spread the word in the family compound that Ye Zhaoyu had taken two men south, and everyone would come over from time to time pretending to be kind and offer them some advice.
The implication was that Ye Zhaoyu was pregnant after returning from her trip south, and that her trip south was for vaccination.
Also, is Qin Zichuan too old to be of use?
Some say that Ye Zhaoyu was infertile and went south to seek treatment for her infertility in a more distant place.
All sorts of rumors, some even becoming more and more outrageous as they spread.
No matter how I explain, he won't listen.
At that time, Qin's mother and Qin Zishuang were a little annoyed with Ye Zhaoyu. How could a newlywed woman not stay at home? She was always going out, and each time she would be gone for ten days or half a month.
Isn't it just giving people the opportunity to spread rumors?
Seeing that her sister-in-law was still thinking about bringing gifts for their whole family after going out, the balance between the mother and daughter tipped back towards Ye Zhaoyu.
Ye Zhaoyu went out on official business. She is a capable doctor, admired even by the director of a military hospital. Why would she go out so often?
Ye Zhaoyu was unaware of Qin's mother and Qin Zishuang's thoughts.
After resting at home for a while, she took out the dinner that Uncle Ye had prepared, heated it up, and the whole family ate dinner together.
Qin Zichuan hadn't returned from his mission yet, so he stayed at the Ye residence. It would be easier to get things done the next day.
When Ye Zhaoyu was almost home, she saw Ye Fei being harassed by a man.
The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, looked to be around 30 years old, and wasn't particularly tall, only about 172 cm.
The two argued back and forth over a letter.
Ye Fei looked like he was about to get angry.
"Little Feifei, who is he?" Ye Zhaoyu, with a cigarette dangling from her mouth, walked up to Ye Fei with a roguish air and put her hand on Ye Fei's shoulder.
"Darling, you're here! He's trying to steal her away." Ye Fei quickly took Ye Zhaoyu's hand, looking aggrieved and shy.
"She's a woman?" The bespectacled man stared at Ye Zhaoyu in astonishment, his glasses seemingly about to fall off and he couldn't pick them up again.
"Is there a problem? I like women," Ye Zhaoyu said matter-of-factly.
"Yes, she is the person I love most on this side." Ye Fei said shyly.
"You, how can you be so shameless? There are plenty of men out there, but you insist on finding a woman."
For some reason, the man blushed, and finally, in a fit of embarrassment and anger, he left with a single sentence.
"He likes you? You can try dating, it doesn't have to be marriage."
Ye Zhaoyu hooked her arm around Ye Fei's shoulder and asked her.
"Yeah, she's been pestering me for over a month now. She doesn't seem to understand human language and insists on marrying me to be her stepmother."
Ye Fei was also helpless; he couldn't possibly date someone who was already a father, could he?
"Oh, then he's not good enough for you. Mom said that when you're dating, you should find someone who is a good person. Don't try to save or pity someone."
The two chatted and laughed as they went home.
That night, Ye Zhaoyu couldn't sleep, so she went out to the courtyard to look at the moon. She saw that the light in the study was still on, so she went over to check and found that Ye Fei was still busy.
It involves writing the reward and punishment system, calculating the salary of each employee, and calculating the cost of various clothing items.
“Let’s do it together.” Ye Zhaoyu didn’t say anything, picked up her pen, and the two began to discuss these scattered matters.
It wasn't until dawn that Ye Zhaoyu yawned and went back to sleep.
The main thing is, the more we discuss this, the more excited we get.
My brain was over-excited, and I stayed up all night.
The two slept until the afternoon before waking up. After dinner, they went over the things they had discussed the day before and formed a standard written plan.
Seeing that it was almost time, he disguised himself and rushed to the place where he would pick up the goods that night.
When people arrive.
Ye Zhaoyu discovered that the three big shots in the black market had arrived, but the goods had not yet arrived.
However, there is still half an hour until midnight, so it's still early.
"Since it's still early, why don't we practice?" the bearded man casually suggested.
“Sure, I have no objections.” The masked man thought it was a good idea.
“Alright, please give me your guidance.” Ye Zhaoyu wasn’t intimidated.
Isn't it just to test their strength?
She wants three people to divide all her goods?
Ye Zhaoyu's mind was racing, but she simply gestured for Ye Fei to come out and practice with them, asking for their guidance.
Seeing that Ye Zhaoyu wasn't planning to make a move, the others sent their men to ask her for advice.
In just 10 minutes, Ye Fei utterly crushed the opposing team, stopping short of defeat.
Well, they were all subdued by Ye Fei in one move, and then they were beaten down.
This made the several big shots on the other side lose face.
He was easily defeated by a woman, who then proceeded to slap him across the face, leaving him no chance to resist.
That's so embarrassing.
"Thank you for your hospitality, elder brothers." Ye Zhaoyu bowed humbly to the black market bosses as the event was over.
"I admire you, Ms. Li, you're quite skilled," the masked man retorted.
The other two looked unwell, but they also replied with a few words.
You can't steal things; the best way is to obediently listen to Ye Zhaoyu and distribute the goods accordingly.
After that, no one spoke again, and the truck arrived more than an hour late.
However, it's already quite good that we arrived safely.
One-on-one, cash on delivery.
"Gold and jade would also be fine," Ye Zhaoyu thought, wondering if she could manage to get two good items.
"Don't be so greedy." The masked man saw right through Ye Zhaoyu's meaning.
The situation looks better now. Who would be willing to exchange things for other things? Wouldn't it be better to keep them and sell them later when their value increases?
"Hehe, here's a way for you to raise more money." Ye Zhaoyu wasn't embarrassed at all that she had been seen through.
