Although Han Zheng was not clear about Yun Huaying's abilities, he knew something about her. She was not the kind of person who acted blindly and impulsively. On the contrary, like him, she was calm and composed and planned everything in advance before taking action. Therefore, he gave her space to display her abilities and no longer surrounded her with worries.
In fact, the task assigned to him this time was to investigate the enemy spy organizations hidden in Yang County and its surrounding areas. It would take him a lot of time to investigate and it was impossible for him to stay in the production team all the time.
However, Zhong Furong jumped in front of them herself, so he could use her to conduct a deeper investigation, which would save a lot of time.
Han Zheng was busy outside, Yun Huaying was translating at home, Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan also seized the time to create and study. Except for fetching well water, they basically did not go out, and only visited the two elders of the Han family occasionally to chat.
Two days later, Grandma Han came over with a basket of vegetables. "Jiang Yuan, Lin Shan, why are you two the only ones home? Did Huaying go out?"
"Grandma Han, Huaying is at home. She took advantage of the bright sunshine today to dry the quilt in the sun and just put it in the house."
Lin Shan stood up and went to the kitchen to get a tea bowl. She brewed her a large bowl of hot tea. Seeing that her basket was filled with eggs, she asked, "Grandma Han, are these the eggs you just exchanged with someone?"
"Yes, I went to Lao Tian's house and exchanged thirty eggs."
Nowadays, people cannot buy and sell things at will. Even when buying eggs from a neighbor in the countryside, they try not to say the word "buy". The eggs that Grandma Han just exchanged at Secretary Tian's house were not bought, but exchanged with bills.
Yun Huaying tidied up the quilt and came out, calling out to the elders, "Grandma Han."
"Huaying, go get a basket and bring you some eggs."
"Grandma Han, no need, we have eggs."
Yun Huaying sat down beside her and whispered to her, "I met a friend in the county who sells goods on the black market. I bought forty or fifty chicken and duck eggs from him a few days ago. The duck eggs have been made into salted duck eggs, but they can't be eaten yet. I wanted to wait until they are ready before sending some to you and Grandpa Han."
Since they had eggs, Grandma Han didn't take them and told them another story. "I just went to Old Tian's house to exchange eggs. Xiao Guilan said Zhang Lin went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet. Secretary Tian and the team leader took Wang Huiyu to the county town to look for him."
"She went to the county town yesterday to have dinner with her cousin Liu Xiu."
When Jiang Yuan went to fetch water yesterday morning, she happened to see Zhang Lin going out. She was dressed up and wearing the leather shoes she wore when she came to the countryside.
"This female comrade's behavior is extremely improper. She asked a male comrade to have dinner with her upon their first meeting and did not return home at night. She has serious problems with her ideology and work style. She should be reported to the higher authorities and educated." Grandma Han had a very bad impression of Zhang Lin and did not like this kind of female comrade who had no self-respect or self-love.
"She is a person of low moral character, which is also related to her family education. Now her reputation in Hongxing Commune is bad, and no one in Dongjiang Brigade tolerates her. She is afraid of hard work and cannot bear hardships. I guess her family doesn't have much support and allowance, so now she has given up." Jiang Yuan knew a little about her.
Yun Huaying brought out some dried persimmons from her room for everyone to eat, then added, "Liu Xiu's cousin is no good. Zhang Lin's little skill in manipulating men is no match for him."
"Huaying, do you know Liu Xiu's cousin?" Grandma Han asked her.
"Not really knowing them, I only had a fight with them."
Yun Huaying did not hide anything from her and told her about how she and Han Zheng went to the black market to sell game and how Yao Dachun was targeting them.
After that, he told them about Liu Xiu. "The friend I met in the black market knows more about Yao Dachun and his gang. He also told me a story about Liu Xiu's life. Liu Xiu didn't bother me during this period, so I didn't tell you. Now that she has been taken back, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it."
"What's the matter?" Lin Shan loves to listen to gossip.
"Liu Xiu was a shady illegitimate child born from an affair with a married man. Her biological father was a high-ranking cadre, but his first wife was incredibly powerful. Liu Xiu's mother was no match for her. Both mother and daughter, along with Liu Xiu's maternal family, were firmly controlled by his first wife."
"Also, the original recipient of the rural relocation was the original wife's daughter. Liu Xiu was forced by her original wife to replace her daughter. The money she received on time every month was also sent by her original wife. Her cousin and uncle's jobs were also arranged by her original wife. She also had all the evidence of her cousin's immoral behavior. In short, her family could not escape her control."
Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan were both so shocked by this explosive news that their mouths widened. After several seconds, they finally uttered, "Huaying, is this true?"
"It should be true." Yun Huaying has not verified it, but guessed that it is most likely true.
Jiang Yuan's expression was incredibly exaggerated. "Liu Xiu usually puts on an arrogant attitude at the educated youth center, often bullying and looking down on the other veteran educated youth. Every time she receives money from home, she shows off. If Sister Huiyu and the others knew the true situation of her family, the resentment she's been pent up in for the past two years would probably choke her to death."
“It turns out to be a big weirdo.”
Lin Shan curled her lips in disdain, thinking of Li Hongxia's three children, and said, "She's suitable for dealing with Fang Xue and Fang Shuang. They are both illegitimate daughters who are not allowed to see the light of day. The three of them will definitely put on a good show."
Grandma Han smiled and said, "Now that she's gone, don't talk about this anymore."
"Well, we won't tell."
Although Lin Shan likes to listen to other people's gossip, she is very careful with her words and will never say anything that she shouldn't.
Jiang Yuan is also a very smart person. When others are chatting about gossip, she will listen from the side and occasionally interrupt with a few words, but she never spreads nonsense.
Grandma Han didn't mention this anymore and changed the subject directly: "Huaying, are these books difficult to translate?"
"It's not difficult."
In her previous life, she often read foreign medical books, so these basic medical books were not difficult for her.
"Grandma Han, Huaying is very good at foreign languages. She translated these books without any hesitation. Her translation was very smooth and fluent, as fast and accurate as I copy excerpts of poems." Lin Shan admired her good friend very much.
"real?"
Grandma Han didn't usually come over to interrupt their studies and writing. This time, she picked up Yun Huaying's translation notebook and flipped through it. Seeing that she had almost finished one in just a few days, she was shocked and said, "Huaying, with your translation skills, it's really a waste of your talent to stay here."
"Grandma Han, compared to those seniors who have studied abroad and are full of talent and ability, I am already very lucky." Yun Huaying lowered her voice when she said this.
