Liu Shi was so anxious and his heart ached when he failed to get the jade pendant.
I went outside the yard and took a walk around.
They intentionally moved to the outside of Fu Jingchen and Su Jiaojiao's courtyard.
He's already feeling restless.
He had no interest in doing anything else; all he wanted was to get the jade pendant to pave his way.
He also wants to make his ex-wife, who has long hair but short brains, regret it.
"Brigade Commander Liu!" Someone came out for a stroll, saw Liu Shi, and hesitated before speaking, "Regimental Commander Fu is not home."
Liu Shi was somewhat surprised, as he had clearly eaten dinner at his house that evening.
Where can we go so late at night?
This made it even harder for him to calm down.
Did they take those grains and vegetables to the black market?
Not to mention the Su family's assets, even the grains, vegetables, and fruits produced in the space could be sold for a considerable sum of money.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
The main reason is that Lu Wenshan's drawing of the pie in the sky is just too delicious.
"I saw them go to the military headquarters back then, and they haven't come back yet," the person opposite said casually. "The Fu family is really valued, but they deserve what we do for them. They not only donated so much money, but also brought so many sea buckthorn trees for windbreak and sand fixation."
This is tantamount to saving the lives of the people in Northwest China.
Now, not only this military region, but everyone is praising it.
Even the local people who heard the news were full of praise.
Hearing this man's words, Liu Shi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
If he had obtained the jade pendant earlier, all these achievements would have belonged to him.
The Fu family really benefited.
The main point is, judging from Lu Wenshan's words, this thing doesn't belong to Su Jiaojiao.
It was given to Lu Wenshan by Liang Dongmei, but Su Jiaojiao took it away by force because she was a member of the Fu family.
Once the person left, Liu Shi didn't want to wait any longer.
They immediately sent someone to inquire about Fu Jingchen's whereabouts.
He needed to know where Fu Jingchen had gone so he could take this opportunity to steal the jade pendant from Su Jiaojiao's hand.
This is a rare opportunity.
Thinking of Su Jiaojiao's capitalist ways, she's too weak to lift a finger and is the easiest to deal with.
"He's on a mission!" Liu Shi asked around and found out that Fu Jingchen had gone on a mission.
The fact that Fu Jingchen left with his men in military vehicles couldn't be kept secret.
However, he couldn't find out the specifics of the mission no matter how hard he tried.
However, this is for the best.
Such a secret mission means they can't return in a short time.
Then, his opportunity came.
There are many people in this military compound, and at this time, many people come out for a walk, so they cannot take action.
He has to wait for the right opportunity.
Su Jiaojiao was eating the snacks she had saved up in her spatial storage.
There was also a cup of milk tea in my hand.
Actually, she was quite worried about Fu Jingchen.
But it couldn't help much.
We can only pray that he completes his mission successfully and returns soon.
Taking a sip of milk tea, Su Jiaojiao patted her still flat stomach: "Babies, let's cheer for your dad together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out.
He quickly slipped out of the space.
Looking up, I saw that the woodpile in the yard was on fire.
Actually, she and Fu Jingchen don't cook.
This firewood is used for boiling water.
Although Su Jiaojiao's space has a villa, home appliances, a bathroom, and a water heater, making it very convenient to take a shower.
But these things still can't be taken out.
Out of step with this era.
Unable to explain to Fu Jingchen.
Someone outside was banging on the door: "Fu Tuan's wife, Comrade Su Jiaojiao, the house is on fire! Get up quickly!"
The Fu family's donation of money and trees earned the respect and gratitude of all the military families in the military compound.
They all rushed over when they saw that something had happened to the Fu family.
Just then, someone carried a ladder into the yard: "Quickly, if you have water at home, bring two buckets over."
Water is scarce here.
There are only two wells, and people have to queue up to draw water every day.
Every household conserves water.
However, now that Su Jiaojiao is in trouble, they don't hesitate to go home and fetch water.
Su Jiaojiao pushed open the door and came out. Seeing that everyone had already put out the fire, she was extremely grateful: "Thank you so much, brothers and sisters-in-law. I just fell asleep!"
These people are very simple and honest.
She rarely interacted with them normally, but in crucial moments, they helped her without hesitation.
"It was nothing, as long as no one was hurt."
"That's right, that's right. It's so dry here, we really have to be careful. Luckily, the woodpile is far from the house, otherwise something really bad would have happened."
Everyone sighed in dismay.
At this moment, Liu Shi, who was mingling in the crowd, also spoke up: "Comrade Su, you are home alone, please do not touch fire. If it hadn't been discovered in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
His face was also extremely dark.
Fortunately, it was dark, so it wasn't noticeable.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to put out the fire and then have a private conversation with Su Jiaojiao.
When the time comes, we'll snatch the jade pendant if we have to.
Anyway, this thing is one of the items used to settle scores with capitalists, so Su Jiaojiao, the rich young lady of a capitalist family, wouldn't dare to make a big fuss about it.
But he didn't expect that even in the middle of the night, so many people would still come to put out the fire.
It ruined his great plan.
“The houses here are connected, if one catches fire, the neighbors on both sides will be affected.” Seeing that his plan was failing, Liu Shi deliberately tried to make Su Jiaojiao hate him.
Hmph, if he's unhappy, he can't let anyone else be happy either.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, all the sisters-in-law frowned.
That is indeed the case.
They all nodded, thinking to themselves, "That was close! That was really close!"
Some people even started to sized up Su Jiaojiao.
She was delicate and slender, wearing a white cheongsam, with a waist so small you could pinch it with one hand.
This was out of place in their compound.
Such a capitalist's daughter is indeed more trouble than she's worth.
However, the Fu family donated money and trees first.
Even if they had opinions about the fire, they couldn't voice them.
One must have a conscience.
The kindness of these women warmed Su Jiaojiao's heart.
Regardless of what they thought, at least they didn't embarrass her outwardly.
These people are indeed very kind.
This Liu Shi is a heartless scoundrel.
Su Jiaojiao felt that the fire was most likely set by Liu Shi.
We need to find out the truth.
“Brigade Commander Liu is right, it was my negligence. However, the fire started strangely. My family never cooks and rarely lights a fire, so how did it catch fire?” Su Jiaojiao asked.
I suppose everyone's smart enough to know there's something wrong.
