Chapter 257 The problem lies with her
When Sun Lin learned that they were going to move to another apartment building, she was reluctant to let them go, but she didn't know what to say, so she asked Wei Hongxing to come over and help move their things.
However, since Ji Lianqi refused, he and Ye Ying could handle it, and Wei Hongxing just had to stay with his wife.
The next day, Ji Lianqi and Ye Ying started to move things. It took them a whole day to move all the things over.
The weather was getting hot, and Ye Ying felt exhausted from climbing up and down.
By the time they finished everything, it was dark.
Although everything had been moved in, Ye Ying still felt that the house was not quite full, so she spent another day sprucing it up.
It took three days in total to get everything done.
Ye Ning came once or twice during this period. When he saw the two of them fiddling around inside and cleaning up, he gave them an ambiguous smile and left.
After finishing all this, Ye Ying went to the store as usual.
I haven't been here for a few days. Today I saw that Sun Xi's eyes were a little red and swollen. I don't know if I was seeing things, but there seemed to be a trace of redness on his face.
After a moment of hesitation, Ye Ying couldn't help but ask, "Sun Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Sun Xi avoided his gaze and shook his head: "No, it's okay!"
"Are you really okay?" Ye Ying was still a little worried.
"It's OK."
Seeing that Sun Xi was unwilling to say more, Ye Ying simply stopped asking further questions.
Maybe something happened at home. After all, her experience sounds pitiful.
The business in the store still hasn't improved, even though it has been open for more than half a month, almost a month.
No one can stand the price war.
Mao Wei across the street seemed to be at odds with her. The loudspeaker at the door kept playing every day, and it lasted for nearly half a month. The shop owners on both sides of the street began to complain.
Not only that, there was also a banner saying there was a big sale.
Ye Ying found it inexplicably funny. It was very similar to the 21st century "store clearance sales" where the sales continued for years.
While finding it funny, Ye Ying began to wonder whether she should first come up with a discount coupon or launch a membership card or something like that.
After spending the whole day in the store, there were still few people coming in and business was very bad.
At one point, she wondered if she had made a wrong decision in the heat of the moment.
But now is obviously not the time to regret, we still have to find a solution.
Perhaps because the slow business affected her mood, Ye Ying left two or three hours earlier today.
When I was leaving, I saw a man lingering around the door.
I saw Ye Ying coming out from inside and walking a little further away, then she staggered to the other side of the road.
Ye Ying felt a little strange and stared at the man for a few more times until he slowly walked away, then she rode her bike back.
I returned to the compound relatively early today. When I was riding my bike to the bottom of the unit building, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure sobbing quietly under the shade of a tree.
This silhouette looks familiar.
Ye Ying stopped and took a look, confirming that the person was Zhao Ting.
Why did this woman run under the tree and start crying alone?
Ye Ying was also confused, but she was not stupid enough to run over and touch the mold, so she just rode past it.
After moving here, Ji Lianqi seemed to be busy again. He would disappear before dawn every day and often come back very late at night.
As a result, Ye Ying had more opportunities to visit Xiu Lian's home.
She could hear children crying and laughing almost every day when she passed by, and sometimes she couldn't help but knock on the door and go in to take a look.
One day, when Ye Ying came back, she brought two bottles of milk for Xiulian, which she bought from the county milk station.
She had heard Xiulian say more than once that the amount of milk she produced was barely enough to feed her baby.
So when Ye Ying passed by, she bought two bottles of milk without knowing whether it would be useful to Xiu Lian.
When she gave the milk to Xiulian, Xiulian repeatedly told her not to spend money in the future and that she could just feed the child with milk powder when she ran out of milk.
After some negotiation, Ye Ying successfully persuaded Xiulian to accept the milk, and she also heard a piece of gossip from her.
After Zhao Ting went to the hospital for a check-up, she found out that the reason why she hadn't been pregnant was actually due to her.
"Ah? I just said it casually that day, and it turned out to be true?" Ye Ying looked incredulous.
Xiulian nodded while feeding her baby.
"Hey, who said it wasn't true? She looks so healthy, who would have thought..."
After hearing this, Ye Ying immediately understood.
"No wonder. I saw Zhao Ting crying quietly under a tree that day."
Xiulian frowned: "Well, I can understand that. She and her husband actually really wanted a child, but now they suddenly find out that they can't have children. It would be strange if they didn't feel sad."
Finally, Xiulian added: "She hasn't told her husband yet."
Ye Ying was startled, and understood what Xiulian meant. "Well, I won't tell anyone."
A few days later, Ye Ying heard news from Xiu Lian again - Zhao Ting was planning to file for divorce from her husband.
Ye Ying was shocked: "No way? She didn't even tell Wu Ping about this. How could she be so sure that Wu Ping would abandon her after knowing that she couldn't have children?"
Xiulian sighed: "That's what I told her! They didn't even say anything, and the two of them didn't discuss it, they just made the decision unilaterally..."
Although Ye Ying couldn't understand, she didn't intend to interfere in other people's affairs.
She just felt that Wu Ping was a bit pitiful, as he was about to be "divorced" without even having the right to know.
After leaving Xiu Lian, Ye Ying went straight home.
After Ji Lianqi hurriedly finished his dinner, he prepared to leave again.
Seeing this, Ye Ying felt a little dissatisfied and called him with a slightly complaining tone: "Ji Lianqi, what have you been busy with recently? You haven't seen me all day!"
Ji Lianqi turned around and looked at Ye Ying for a moment, and found that she seemed a little unhappy.
Thinking of the recent troubles, he couldn't help but frown and said, "There have been some problems in the army recently. It seems that someone has leaked the confidential documents of the army."
"Ah!" Ye Ying's eyes widened: "Is this the so-called spy?"
Ji Lianqi nodded slightly: "You can say that."
After saying that, he quickly glanced at the clock on the table: "I have to leave first!"
"Tonight... go to bed early and don't wait for me!"
Then, he quickly disappeared from Ye Ying's sight.
I realized that Ji Lianqi has been busy with this matter recently. I thought that since Captain Hao had been looking for him frequently recently, it must be the same.
There are so many people in the army, how should they start the investigation?
