It means that neighbors would give each other vegetables or something.
Also, because Liu Shi had caused trouble before, many people helped Su Jiaojiao put out the fire, and she went to their homes to give them gifts to express her gratitude.
These people wouldn't inquire about her just because she wasn't home.
Indeed, it is suspicious.
"Who is it? Do you remember what they look like?" Su Jiaojiao became more concerned. "Your cousin went to the military. Tell me, it's the same person."
“She was just an ordinary military wife. I remember her appearance; she was probably in her thirties or forties and spoke the local dialect.” Bai Shuyuan recalled, “She initially asked the neighbors, but later, after learning about my relationship with the Fu family, she came to ask me again.”
"A military wife in her thirties or forties!" Su Jiaojiao nodded; it was indeed unexpected.
This person remained silent the entire time, as if they didn't exist.
Why are you suddenly asking about her?
Are they afraid she'll leave the Northwest Military Region?
“If something has been done, there will be traces.” Su Jiaojiao frowned and said, “If she is the one who let Lu Wenshan go, the two of them should have had at least some basic contact.”
It could be through correspondence or financial transactions.
There's always a clue.
“If I see her again, I’ll definitely recognize her. How about this: I’ll drive my cousin-in-law to and from get off work these next few days, and I’ll also be your intern at the hospital. If I see that woman, I can point her out to you immediately.” Bai Shuyuan thought he was too clever; he had found a reason to freeload off her.
Fang Cheng, standing to the side, did not interrupt Bai Shuyuan.
He had also heard about Lu Wenshan's situation and that the circumstances were dangerous.
Even now, the person who sent Lu Wenshan away has not been found.
If they can be found now, Su Jiaojiao will be less likely to be in danger.
Even if the military sends people to keep a close eye on things, there's always a chance of a slip-up.
Once something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it.
“Jiaojiao, I think Bai Shuyuan’s suggestion is good. Your man can’t always be by your side.” Lu Yi also thought Bai Shuyuan’s suggestion was reasonable.
Moreover, Bai Shuyuan is also a surgical intern, so it's normal for him to be by Su Jiaojiao's side; it won't seem out of place.
"Okay," Su Jiaojiao reluctantly agreed, "but your internship period may have to be extended."
She is currently an intern and cannot perform surgeries alone.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Bai Shuyuan plans to develop his career here long-term.
The conditions here are a bit harsh, but it's still better than going back to the Bai family and facing all that chaos.
He felt that if Fang Zhen were given more time, she could bring down the Bai family as well.
That's why the Fang family has been assigned here.
Given how much the Bai family dotes on Fang Zhen, they might offend someone.
"By the way, I heard that the organic fertilizer plant has been approved, and my older brother has applied to be the plant manager," Fang Cheng interjected. "He's been targeted quite a bit lately, and he can't go back to the farms and planting bases."
"Who's targeting him?" Su Jiaojiao was somewhat surprised. The Gu family shouldn't be targeting the Fang family anymore. "Have you offended anyone else?"
“We’ve offended quite a few people before,” Fang Cheng sighed helplessly. “Back then, my dad was still in power, so they couldn’t do anything to us. Now, it’s like everyone’s kicking us when we’re down.”
Those who had grievances settled them, and those who had enemies took their revenge.
“If your older brother also leaves the military, your family might have to turn things around, but it won’t be easy.” Su Jiaojiao was naturally willing for Fang Yan to take over the organic fertilizer plant.
They're at least half one of our own.
However, this would likely prevent the Fang family from pursuing a political career.
