Zhang Jizhou no longer needs to go to the communications room every day.
At first, every morning, either the staff on duty in the communications room or other comrades returning from the communications room would run over to him and say, "Captain, there's no news for you."
As time went on, he still didn't receive a reply from Fang Yan.
They worried about Zhang Jizhou every day. "Captain, did your wife not receive the last letter? Should you write her another one?"
Should I write another one?
He wrote another letter, but he didn't know what to say.
He had racked his brains to cobble together the last letter.
Zhang Jizhou frowned. Did he really have to write another letter back?
I wonder if she didn't receive the last letter?
Or is he deliberately ignoring me?
I spent two separate times with Fang Yan, totaling less than 24 hours.
However, judging from her behavior, she doesn't seem like the type of person who would receive a letter but deliberately not reply.
In any case, Zhang Jizhou inexplicably believed that if Fang Yan received his letter, even if she was very busy and could only reply with a sentence or two, she would still write back to him.
Could it be that the last email really wasn't received?
After thinking it over, Zhang Jizhou decided to write another letter.
Fang Yan, who got up early in the morning, ready to go and settle accounts with the Zhang family in high spirits, had no idea that the letter she had forgotten in the drawer would keep Zhang Jizhou, who was thousands of miles away, thinking about it for so many days without being able to eat or sleep properly.
And they were especially considerate, thinking that she wasn't deliberately not replying, but rather that she hadn't received a single letter.
Just as Zhang Jizhou picked up his pen to write his second letter to Fang Yan, Fang Yan, accompanied by Xiao Yuzai and Qi Bei, knocked on Zhang Zongde's door.
It's six in the morning. People in the countryside get up early. Except for children under eight, almost everyone else is already up.
These days, every household uses a large earthen stove to cook rice in their kitchen.
Most children over nine years old can start a fire, making them great helpers for cooking porridge or doing light chores like cleaning.
Some adults get up even earlier. Those who have a lot of farmland at home get up at five o'clock to work in the fields before the sun comes out and the weather is cool.
Others, in order to keep the vegetables in their fields as fresh as possible so they can sell them for a good price.
They didn't dare to pick the vegetables a day early. Instead, they would go to the fields in the dark at three or four in the morning to pick them. By the time they finished picking, the sun would have just come out, just in time to go to the market and sell them for a good price.
People in the countryside all get up this early, so Fang Yan naturally does too.
Otherwise, if it gets any later, when everyone is already working in the fields, where will she find someone to settle accounts with?
"Uncle, Aunt De, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Although Zhang Zongde and his aunt didn't have to work in the fields, they were used to going to bed early and getting up early their whole lives, so they naturally got up at this time as well.
Fang Yan led Xiao Yuzai over, greeted the two elders, and then got straight to the point, recounting Zhang Weicheng's story.
"Isn't Zhang Weicheng only a teenager? How come he's already this bad?"
"About what happened yesterday, maybe he deliberately lured Little Fish up the mountain."
Aunt De was furious when she heard this. "Let's go, we have to settle accounts with them for this."
These kids are only teenagers, and they're already this bad. What will they be like when they grow up?
Zhang Zongde pulled her back, but looked at Fang Yan, "Zhang Weicheng telling Xiaoyuzai the location of the Doni Tree is probably something we can't hold accountable for, unless you can prove that he deliberately lured Xiaoyuzai up the mountain."
Fang Yan had thought about this last night.
Even if Zhang Weicheng deliberately brought up the Doni fruit in front of Xiaoyuzai to attract Xiaoyuzai's attention and make Xiaoyuzai ask him about the location of the Doni tree.
She was also unable to confront Zhang Weicheng about this matter.
Moreover, she had no evidence to prove that Zhang Weicheng did it on purpose.
“Uncle, I didn’t intend to settle accounts with him for luring Xiaoyuzai to the mountain, but this matter must be brought up so that everyone knows that Zhang Weicheng, at such a young age, is so wicked.”
I want to go settle accounts with them today, mainly to get justice for Qibei.
Seeing that Fang Yan was young but very organized, Zhang Zongde nodded and said, "Have your aunt accompany you to Old Zhang's house first. I'll go find the village chief and the others."
Before leaving, Aunt De specifically asked her two daughters-in-law to tell their girlfriends in the village about this matter.
So, not long after Fang Yan and Aunt De arrived at Old Zhang's house with Xiao Yuzai and Qi Bei, the onlookers had already arrived.
In rural households, the first thing people do when they get up in the morning is to open the front door.
The door will remain open all day long, as long as someone is home.
When Fang Yan arrived at Old Zhang's house with Xiao Yuzai, Qi Bei, and Aunt De, she called out, "Aunt Zhang, are you home?"
Aunt Zhang and her daughter-in-law came out of the kitchen together. When they saw Fang Yan, their faces immediately fell.
I originally wanted to turn around immediately, grab a broom, and chase Fang Yan and her son out.
However, with Aunt De present, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held back.
"Oh, you've come to the wrong door, haven't you?" Zhang's daughter-in-law said sarcastically.
With Qibei leading the way, Fang Yan and Aunt De led Xiaoyuzai directly to the middle of the yard, facing the Zhang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law directly.
"Is Zhang Weicheng from your family? If he is from your family, then I haven't come to the wrong house."
Zhang Weicheng is sixteen years old this year and is the eldest grandson of the Zhang family.
When Zhang's daughter-in-law saw Fang Yan and her group's demeanor, she knew that their visit was definitely not for anything good.
Upon hearing that she was looking for her eldest son, she immediately retorted, "Fang Yan! What's wrong with you? What do you want with my Weicheng?!"
"We need to talk to him, so tell him to come out!"
Fang Yan took a big step towards her, her imposing manner forcing Zhang's daughter-in-law to take a big step back.
It's a disgrace to be forced to retreat by people who come to your door in your own yard!
"Don't..."
Just as Zhang's daughter-in-law was about to speak, she saw Zhang Weicheng come out of the house with his hair in a messy, bird's nest-like style. "Who's looking for me?"
He was woken up while he was half asleep and half awake.
It wasn't Fang Yan's voice for a moment, but she came out looking half-awake.
Upon seeing Little Fish and Qibei, he snapped to attention and immediately snapped back to reality, blurting out, "How are you still alive?!"
Fang Yan had only come to seek justice for Qi Bei, but upon hearing his words, her eyes narrowed, and she immediately sensed something unusual...
