Watching the car drive away, she turned around, lifted a brick from the ground, found the key, and used it to open the gate and go inside.
She had been busy for most of the night and was covered in sweat. She felt sticky all over and was also very tired and sleepy.
But she still mustered her strength to boil water, clean herself thoroughly, and then lit a fire before finally lying down in bed and falling into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Bai Yajing woke up groggily, still somewhat disoriented.
But upon hearing the urgent knocking at the door, she got up, put on her coat and shoes, and hurriedly went to open it.
"Here it is! Who is it?"
How could someone disturb her peaceful sleep so early in the morning! She felt like she hadn't slept for very long!
When she opened the door, wow! A group of aunties and sisters-in-law had gathered at her doorstep.
Seeing her looking like she had just woken up, I laughed and said, "Oh dear, you're still not awake?"
"Annie, something terrible has happened!"
"Quick, quick, let's go inside and talk! You should get dressed too, so you don't catch a cold!"
Bai Yajing understood immediately. It was because so many people had been arrested last night, which had piqued everyone's curiosity.
She was pushed back to her room by her sisters-in-law, changed her clothes, washed up, and then went to the living room.
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically.
The kind-hearted women all made her a bowl of noodles!
"Annie, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? We went to your kitchen and made you a bowl of noodles, come and eat!"
Bai Yajing couldn't help but swallow hard when she smelled the aroma wafting towards her.
She was indeed very hungry; she had exhausted herself the night before.
She sat down, picked up her rice bowl, and didn't forget to thank her sisters-in-law, "Thank you, sisters-in-law! Your cooking is so good! The smell alone makes my mouth water!"
Her sisters-in-law all chuckled and urged her to eat quickly.
When everyone made noodles for her, they also boiled hot water for themselves, so Bai Yajing didn't have to worry about entertaining them at all.
She ate while listening intently to their stories about yesterday.
She had been following Xiao Che all day, so she didn't really know what they were talking about.
"Oh my, you have no idea! When the Ministry of State Security officers stormed in, that couple was still in bed making a baby! Hahahaha!"
Do you think that enemy agent won't be scared out of his wits like that? Hahahaha!
Upon hearing this, a young married woman blushed, as she was still not used to the way these older women made lewd jokes.
When the crowd saw her flushed face, they teased her a bit, making the young woman both embarrassed and annoyed. She wanted to leave, but couldn't resist her curiosity and wanted to stay and listen to the commotion.
"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore, let's continue!"
In the end, it was her sister-in-law, who had spoken at the beginning, who came to her rescue.
"Hey! Last night was really scary! I just got back from my parents' house in the city this morning, you wouldn't believe it! They arrested quite a few people there!"
