Chapter 55
Shen Yao said: "My wife risked her life to save her. Even if she doesn't bring anything to thank my wife, she should come to her house in person to express her gratitude. Aunt Xie is just rude and not as good as her daughter-in-law."
Chen Guifeng glared at him. She hadn't said anything, so why was he so excited?
Ye Fuyue was naturally very happy about Shen Yao's protection.
She said, "Chen Yao, kill the chicken and let's make chicken soup. If we can't finish the chicken soup, we can cook noodles tomorrow morning."
When Shen Shun heard there was chicken soup to drink, he couldn't close his mouth and cheered: "Drink chicken soup! Drink chicken soup! Drink chicken soup!"
Chen Guifeng was also happy and said with a smile, "We all benefited from Fu Yue."
"Mom, what are you talking about? We are a family. There is no such thing as one person following another to benefit from the other." Ye Fuyue said.
The smile on Chen Guifeng's face grew even wider: "Yes, yes, you are right."
"Next time you encounter such a dangerous situation, your own safety is the most important thing, okay? Don't take risks again." Shen Yao emphasized again.
He was afraid that Ye Fuyue would be overwhelmed by these things and would rush forward foolishly the next time she encountered danger.
Ye Fuyue gave him a reassuring smile: "I know."
So, in the evening, when the Shen family cooked chicken soup, half of the people in the courtyard were dazzled by the aroma.
Zhou Jinmei and her family ate the dry food and cursed.
"We are sisters, why don't you go out and save someone like Ye Fuyue and let others give you chickens, meat and eggs? How come you don't have any ability at all!" Zhou Jinmei vented all her anger on Ye Fuyun.
"That's right!" Wu Aixia was also very depressed because she couldn't eat the meat and could only smell the fragrance. After hearing Zhou Jinmei's words, she immediately agreed: "It's useless. Ye Fuyue can easily save people, why can't you!"
Ye Fuyun buried his head in eating his meal, his eyes full of gloom.
She really wanted to scold Wu Aixia and Zhou Jinmei. It wasn't her fault that they couldn't eat meat. They didn't give her money to buy meat, so how could she conjure up money to buy meat on her own? If she wanted to eat meat so much, she should have gone out and saved people herself! Why blame her?
But Ye Fuyun only dared to say these words in her heart. If she really said them out loud, she would be really stupid.
Rather than blaming Wu Aixia and Zhou Jinmei, she hated Ye Fuyue more.
It’s all Ye Fuyue’s fault, that’s why Wu Aixia and Zhou Jinmei blame her!
…
A few days later, at noon, when the Shen family was having lunch, there was a noise outside.
Chen Guifeng took a bite of the stir-fried beef with chili peppers and glanced toward the courtyard gate. "What's going on outside? It's so noisy."
Shen Shun devoured the fried beef voraciously, his mouth full of oil and the aroma of beef jerky. He said incoherently, “Who cares what they’re arguing about.”
Chen Guifeng thought, "That's right." The beef jerky Ye Fuyue had fried with chili peppers was delicious. She'd better eat first, then go watch the fun.
Just as she finished thinking this, there was a knock on the gate.
"Comrade Ye Fuyue—Comrade Ye Fuyue—"
Ye Fuyue paused holding her chopsticks. "Hmm? Who's looking for her?"
Shen Yao recognized the voice as a gay man. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Ye Fuyue also put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up behind him.
When Shen Yao opened the gate, he saw Chen Che's face. Behind Chen Che were not only three police officers in uniform, but also many neighbors who were watching the excitement.
Chen Che was not surprised to see Shen Yao. He had deliberately chosen to come here at noon when everyone was there.
"Where is your wife?" Chen Che asked with a smile.
"Why are you looking for her?" Shen Yao's eyebrows slightly lowered.
Chen Che groaned inwardly and motioned to the police officer behind him to open the silk banner. "Did you see that? We're here to give her a reward. She caught three human traffickers last time, which was a great achievement."
The neighbors who were watching the fun exclaimed slightly and started whispering to each other.
Just as Shen Yao was about to turn around and call Ye Fuyue, Ye Fuyue had already jumped out from behind him.
"Chen Gongan, you are finally here." Ye Fuyue said with a smile on her face.
Chen Che smiled and handed the banner to her solemnly.
"Thank you for your bravery, which has saved many innocent women from a tragic fate. In addition to the banner, there are also some rewards."
Another police officer handed the leather envelope to Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue couldn't wait any longer, but on the surface she tried to open the door slowly.
In the cowhide envelope, there were five Great Unity coupons, as well as food coupons and meat coupons.
Seeing those things, Ye Fuyue felt nothing, but the neighbors who were watching let out loud exclamations.
"That's a lot of money! It's a full fifty yuan! It's almost as much as a worker's two-month salary!"
"Not only are there fifty yuan, but there are also food coupons and meat coupons. These coupons are not easy to get!"
"Didn't you hear what the police said? Ye Fuyue caught three human traffickers and rescued two female comrades. She even rescued Zhong Lan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yao family. If it weren't for Ye Fuyue, who knows how many more girls would have been harmed by those three human traffickers."
"Yeah, they're human traffickers! If girls are sold by them, I'm afraid they won't be found and their lives will be ruined."
"In that case, these rewards are not too much."
Aunt Xie stood at the back of the crowd. Seeing Ye Fuyue taking photos with the police officers while holding the banner and the award, and listening to everyone's discussions, Aunt Xie felt very depressed.
She turned around and went back home, saw Zhong Lan cleaning up the dishes, and started scolding Zhong Lan.
"I told you last time that you didn't need to thank Ye Fuyue. But you saw it today. Comrade Public Security came to thank Ye Fuyue in person, bringing a banner, fifty yuan, grain coupons, and meat coupons. If she really did something good, the Public Security Bureau would naturally thank her generously. Why would you need to intervene?"
Yao Yi was sitting on a chair eating a peach when she heard Aunt Xie's words and said, "Fifty yuan? And food coupons and meat coupons? The police actually gave Ye Fuyue so many things?"
"Yes! The public security comrades are very generous, why do we ordinary people need to give gifts to express our gratitude! It's just that some people are stupid and have to rush to give gifts to express their gratitude. Ye Fuyue is also shameless. She accepts whatever others give her and never says no." Aunt Xie said.
Zhong Lan couldn't bear to listen any longer and said, "I brought something from my mother's family as a token of my gratitude."
Aunt Xie was furious: "What do you mean? You didn't use our Yao family's things to thank me, so I can't say anything to you? You are so arrogant now, you dare to talk back when I say a few words to you!"
Zhong Lan endured it silently, not wanting to quarrel with her mother-in-law all the time.
After all, she married into the Yao family, so she had to live a good life in the Yao family.
But Aunt Xie was not at all relieved and continued, "Your family was willing to give so many things to Ye Fuyue, but why didn't they give so many things to you? We, the Yao family, are supporting you, and they would rather give those things to outsiders than share some with us."
Zhong Lan put down the half-collected dishes and chopsticks heavily.
