"Go ahead and raise it, go ahead and report it, I'm waiting."
Someone was very smug, saying, "My family has many officials, and they can control everything. If you can sue me, I'll respect you. If not, don't waste your breath."
Her children are even more smug, one raising his little leg and the other drooling, perfectly echoing their mother's words.
The three chickens also returned to their hometown to visit old friends, and stayed close to Shishi's feet the whole time.
Upon seeing an old acquaintance and hearing that she hadn't had chicken soup during her postpartum period, I immediately rushed over to her and started dancing.
You're so hungry, you're craving chicken! You're so hungry you'll die!
However, their joy turned to sorrow. The wind was strong by the sea, and they were accidentally swept into the ocean, leaving the three little ones soaked to the bone.
"Ah~, the chicken, the chicken has fallen into the water! Help the chicken!"
It's unclear which talented person shouted such a passionate cry, but several people were actually about to jump. Xie Lin twitched his lips and called for a stop.
"They can swim, so there's no need to save them."
The man shouted himself hoarse in the water but no one paid any attention, while the three chickens were treated with the same level of concern as children.
"But they are light and can't swim back; they will drift further and further away."
Looking back, it was Ming Hailiang who was speaking.
Shouldn't this guy be in the cafeteria? When did he come here, carrying a net bag?
"Brother Xie, here's the net. See if you can fish it out."
Soon the chicken came ashore, its clothes were wet, and when it took them off, it revealed shiny, oily feathers and plump calves. Everyone fell silent.
The pheasants that fly up to the treetops live a more comfortable life than they do.
Zhou Miaoniang, adrift in the seawater, felt like dying.
Surprisingly, no one cared about her.
"Help! Help! Help me! There's a water snake! A huge water snake!"
That's strange. The seawater was churning so violently, how come she wasn't swept away?
It kept swinging back and forth, sometimes moving back a little, sometimes moving further away, never leaving this area.
She was terrified of the giant snake beneath her feet, but she had no choice but to obey it to survive. If she let go, she would sink to the bottom of the sea.
Are those people crazy? Why save that wretched chicken instead of a grown woman? Wouldn't it have been better to just let it drown and cook it?
She was overthinking it. Her family was still very worried about her, both worried that someone might die in the sea and taint the seafood, and worried that the murder case would be linked to Shishi.
The entire residential compound is rich because of Shishi, and no one wants anything to happen to her.
Besides, which officer in the army who has any influence doesn't rely on him? This time, all the equipment upgrades in the camp and the increased investment in scientific research are all thanks to Commander Xiao.
Those who used to have some disagreements with Shishi have now realized the truth: Shishi is someone you absolutely cannot offend.
Those in the know understand that all the benefits are due to Shishi's priceless brain.
Shen Yijin knew perfectly well that all the funds the camp received were brought in by Shishi; the gold in that large cave had completely blinded him.
With such merit, what's wrong with punishing a troublemaker who wants to die?
I heard that she personally sent several people to feed the fish, and the higher-ups said that as long as she was happy, anyone who crossed her line could be disposed of at her discretion.
The long-lost megaphone has reappeared, and the patriarch silently hands it over.
"Didn't you say you were going to jump into the sea? You want to jump into the sea and then come back to shore? So you don't want to jump into the sea, you want to threaten Shen Bingshan, and you want to threaten me too, right?"
"It seems you've had too much of a good life and forgotten your roots. Your son-in-law needs Shen Bingshan to protect him in the army, but you're openly threatening him. Clearly, you don't want your son-in-law to stay in the army."
"You're threatening me? That's like asking for trouble. Since that's the case, of course I'll grant your wish. Look, you haven't even jumped into the sea yet, and I'm already helping you."
"There are water snakes in the sea? That's great. If you don't drown, you'll end up in the snake's belly. That'll fulfill your wish. I'm a good person, no need to thank me."
Xu Jianghai returned travel-worn and was dragged to the scene. He hadn't had a chance to speak until now, as this matter concerned his future. He finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Mother, is that really what you think? Are you causing trouble because you think my position is too high? Why?"
Because his wife acted recklessly and sold his two daughters from his previous marriage, he has been unable to make any progress in recent years. In order to advance his career, he has no choice but to take on the most difficult task.
He barely made it back this time, and he still hasn't figured out what happened at home.
Xie Lin only mentioned it briefly, saying that his mother-in-law was blocking the delivery of seafood. This was a good opportunity to make money, so why was she blocking it?
Seeing that her mother was still floating in the water and hadn't been swept away, Zhou Miao felt slightly relieved. Hearing her husband's questioning, she couldn't help but shout:
"Why, why? Your mother-in-law was thrown into the sea, and instead of blaming the person who threw her, you blame her? Xu Jianghai, do you have no heart at all?"
Xu Jianghai then noticed that his wife was bundled up tightly and her belly had shrunk. His eyes lit up. "Miaomiao, you've given birth? Where's the baby? Why aren't you holding him?"
"Xiaohua, why aren't you in the nursery? Did your mother ask you to come back and take care of your little brother? Then hurry back and watch over him, make sure he doesn't fall."
No one knew what to say.
He's a good father, though he doesn't seem to care much about his daughter. But he's also not a good father, because he genuinely loves his children, though it's his son who's nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Miao's initial momentum weakened, her eyes darted around, and she dared not answer.
What son? That's all a lie.
When she was five months pregnant, she spent some money at the hospital to ask the doctor if it was a girl.
She had considered abortion, but the doctor said that her belly was too big and abortion would be very harmful to her body, and could very likely lead to infertility. She didn't dare to do it, so she lied to Xu Jianghai and said it was a son.
Xu Jianghai was even more eager than she was to have a son to carry on the family line. He provided her with the best food and drink, and personally brought her mother to serve her before she went on missions.
