Chapter 1279 It seems that keeping a low profile all the time isn't a good idea.
Afraid that he would continue on this topic, she quickly urged, "Let's go to the kitchen together, or you'll be late for your afternoon training."
Fu Yancheng stood up briskly and helped her up: "Do you want rice or noodles?"
First Snow, worried about the time crunch, suggested: "Let's steam rice; that will speed things up."
Fu Yancheng nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
After the two arrived in the kitchen, Fu Yancheng washed the rice and steamed it. He then took out the dried eggplant he had brought earlier and soaked it in warm water. He reached into the hanging basket and took out a piece of cured meat: "I'll stir-fry some cured meat for you for lunch. After training this afternoon, I'll go to the canteen and ask them to have their purchasing truck bring some meat back for us tomorrow morning."
Chu Xue said, "We only need enough meat for one meal, as it won't keep well in this heat. If you have any eggs, bring a few back. Later, Ru Hua and I will go to the village and see what other ingredients we can get to exchange for some more."
Fu Yancheng quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait until I get back from training, then I'll take you there on my bike. That way, it'll be easier to bring back too many things if you change too much."
Chu Xue knew that Fu Yancheng was worried about her, but he wouldn't let her do this or that. She felt it was a bit too much: "Didn't the doctor say that my constitution is quite good and that I should exercise appropriately during pregnancy to benefit my delivery?"
Besides, you know how strong I am. I'm not going to change too many things at once, so you really don't need to come with me. If you did, I'd probably get dragged out and lectured by all the old ladies in the compound.
Hearing her say that, Fu Yancheng conceded a step: "Then you have to promise me that if you buy too much, you don't have to carry it back. I'll just go and pick it up. Or you can pay an extra delivery fee to have someone deliver it to you. Right now, your health is the most important thing."
Not wanting to burden Rengyan, he nodded in agreement.
After finishing this, Fu Yancheng said, "I have news about the matter you asked me to investigate before."
Chu Xue's smile faded: "What's the deal with that person?"
Fu Yancheng continued working: "That person does know the people at the gambling den. He asked them to set up the scheme. Moreover, that person wanted to ambush Dad this morning. My uncle happened to be passing by and saw that Dad had injuries on his face, so he wanted to go up and ask about it. That's why the person left quickly."
Chu Xue took a deep breath and said, "Next time I see Dad, I have to tell him, and I have to subtly mention his relationship with my uncle, so that he won't be bullied."
Upon hearing her words, Fu Yancheng said, "This morning, Uncle and Dad talked for quite a while. Even without Dad telling anyone, it probably won't be long before it gets out."
“It seems that keeping a low profile is not a good idea. If you have a powerful backer, you have to use him. Even if you don’t want anything else, at least they will have to think twice before bullying newcomers. Dad said the other day that it’s probably because that person has been eyeing the team leader position for a long time. Dad took it from him, so that person wanted to use underhanded means to get revenge.”
Fu Yancheng continued, "I've had them keep an eye on things. Once we've figured out the situation, we'll take them all down at once."
Chu Xue stood up and hugged Fu Yancheng from behind: "Thank you. Don't forget to treat the person who helped you to a good meal later."
This was the first time his wife had hugged him like this, and Fu Yancheng was overjoyed: "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
The two of them had no idea that the next day would bring them such a big shock.
As soon as Fu Yancheng arrived at his office, someone from the communications company came running up, panting: "Battalion Commander Fu, you have a phone call."
Fu Yancheng glanced at the office phone, and even went over to check the line to make sure it wasn't broken: "Why didn't you switch it over?"
