Chapter 159: Retribution. My mind is full of two words: retribution. ...
Wang Ying made her bed and went downstairs. Chen Xiuqin and Li Fengju sat by the door, chatting. Yueyue sat on a small stool, chewing a piece of watermelon. In front of her was a chair with an empty bowl filled with the seeds she had spit out.
Seeing Wang Ying coming down, Yueyue raised the watermelon she had gnawed into a mess and said, "Mom, eat the watermelon."
Chen Xiuqin smiled and said, "The mess you made was given to your mother to eat. Eat it yourself. There's more on the table."
Wang Ying held the watermelon in one hand and moved a stool to the door with the other hand, sitting next to Yueyue and eating the watermelon.
Chen Xiuqin and Li Fengju watched their mother take a bite of the melon and spit out the seeds, both with smiles on their faces.
"Yingzi, you will take your mother home later. She was about to go back but I stopped her," said Chen Xiuqin.
"Yeah." Wang Ying nodded and spit two more watermelon seeds into the bowl.
Li Fengju said, "It's okay to walk, it's not far."
"Don't talk nonsense. People will think you are an unfilial daughter, making me walk home in the hot summer," said Wang Ying.
Chen Xiuqin replied: "That's right."
Li Fengju smiled and didn't dare to say that she wanted to walk back.
After Wang Ying finished eating the watermelon, Yueyue also finished eating, and the mother and daughter went to wash their hands and faces together.
A little after four o'clock, Wang Ying and Yueyue sent Li Fengju home together.
Wang Ying was riding her bike, while Yueyue, wearing a soft pink fabric hat, sat in a child seat mounted on the front handlebars, babbling to Wang Ying. Li Fengju sat in the back seat, listening to the conversation between mother and daughter, and recalled Wang Ying's childhood. Did she have the same patience for Yingzi that Yingzi had for Yueyue? She couldn't recall.
Wang Ying sent Li Fengju home. Li Fengju invited her mother and daughter to have dinner. Wang Ying smiled and said, "No, your son-in-law will definitely be worried if he doesn't see me when he gets home."
"Then he must have known to come find you." Li Fengju also smiled, thinking that Yunsheng and Yingzi had a really good relationship.
"There's still a lot of leftovers from lunch. If we don't eat them in the summer, they'll go bad," Wang Ying said. "I'll come back when I have time."
When Li Fengju heard Wang Ying say that she would come back when she had time, her nose felt sore and she almost cried again.
Yueyue ran to Li Fengju's room and grabbed a medicine bottle to play with. Children especially like to play with medicine bottles.
Li Fengju was shocked when she saw it and quickly snatched it away: "You can't play with this, give it to grandma!"
Yueyue lost her toy and ran to the yard to play again.
"Mom, are you feeling well?" Wang Ying asked.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious. Your father took me to the hospital." Li Fengju said.
"You still have to take care of your health."
"I know, but I don't want to become like your little sister's mother-in-law." Li Fengju sighed as she thought of Sun Qiaoling. This was Sun Qiaoling's fate. In her previous life, Yingzi was her wife, and she tortured Yingzi. In this life, Huihui was her wife, and Huihui tortured her to the point of premature illness. And Jianguo, who died at such a young age... This must be their karma, right?
What would happen to her and Lao Wang? Li Fengju suddenly felt dizzy and felt like she was about to fall.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly become dazed?" Wang Ying asked.
Li Fengju shuddered, forced a smile and said, "It's okay."
"I've been worrying you these days and you haven't had enough rest. It's still early, you can rest for a while and wait for Dad to come back to make dinner." Wang Ying said.
"Well, I'll go and rest for a while. I won't keep you two here anymore," said Li Fengju.
Seeing that Li Fengju was not in a good state, Wang Ying helped her to bed and watched her fall asleep before leaving with her daughter.
Li Fengju was actually pretending to be asleep. When Wang Ying closed the door, she opened her eyes and her mind was filled with only two words: retribution.
Wang Ying took Yueyue home. When they reached the alley entrance, she saw Chen Xiuqin, who had just picked up Dongbao from school, talking to a neighbor at the gate of her yard. Before Wang Ying could get close, the neighbor waved and left.
When Wang Ying arrived home, he heard Chen Xiuqin angrily say, "Humph, they all have bad intentions. They say some of the crimes are not serious and they can be released in ten days. What a rotten fart!"
Wang Ying was amused by Chen Xiuqin's vulgarity: "Mom, Dongbao and Yueyue are here, don't let them learn it."
Chen Xiuqin smiled awkwardly: "Dongbao is weird, Yueyue is good, you can't learn what grandma said just now."
Dongbao has grown up, and she won’t learn when her grandmother tells her not to. Yueyue is still young, and she can’t learn the whole sentence of such a long sentence, but she learned the two words “stinky fart” and learned them all at once.
Dongbao quickly covered her mouth: "Yueyue, don't say anything. Sister will teach you to sing."
"Yes, yes, sister teaches singing..." Chen Xiuqin didn't want her granddaughter to swear. "I was just mad. What kind of person is this? They're related to you. They say they care about you, but they're actually trying to say you've done something wrong."
"Don't be angry, Mom. The mouth is on her body." Wang Ying said.
"I'm just afraid that the rumors will get worse and worse. It was already very bad before, with all kinds of things said," said Chen Xiuqin.
"Don't worry, the public security comrades said they will restore my reputation. Let's wait a little longer. If the rumors are still spread widely by then, we will sue them. They have forgotten the previous rumors about Yunsheng and still dare to talk nonsense." Wang Ying said.
Only then did Chen Xiuqin calm down her anger and go into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Wang Ying played with her two children in the yard, and Yueyue and Dongbao were learning to sing. It was after work and school, and the alley was bustling with the sounds of children playing, adults shouting and scolding, and bicycle bells, creating a bustling atmosphere of life.
There was a knock on the gate of Wang Ying's house. She went to open the door and saw that it was several of her subordinates.
"Director!" Xu Lili stepped forward and hugged Wang Ying.
Wang Ying felt that this scene was so familiar, as if it had just happened in the morning!
The others also looked excited.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly." Wang Ying said to them with a smile.
Tian Yulan tore Xu Lili off Wang Ying: "Be steady!"
"I just miss the director!" said Xu Lili.
"Is everything okay at the factory?" Wang Ying asked as he led them inside.
"It's bad. Nothing in the factory is good without you here!" said Xu Lili.
"Oh? Really? I heard from Director Zhao that there is nothing going on in the factory." Wang Ying said.
Zhou Qianjin smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong at the factory, but the director is away, and we all feel bad."
"When it comes to flattery, you've got to be the best." Wu Haiyang gave Zhou Qianjin a thumbs up.
Wang Ying asked them to sit on the sofa, and Chen Xiuqin cut the watermelon that she had not finished eating in the afternoon and brought it over.
After some politeness, each of them took a piece of melon to eat.
After eating the melon, they began to talk to Wang Ying about things in the factory.
Wang Ying listened and realized that nothing serious was happening at the factory. There weren't even many rumors about her, and no one was trying to kick her out. It was just that they all had a strong opinion of Shao Pengyu, because they suspected that Wang Ying's arrest in the Public Security Bureau must be related to Shao Pengyu!
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Deputy Director Shao was truly wronged. It had nothing to do with him. I can't tell you the specific reason yet, but I did go there to assist in the investigation and even made a contribution."
"That's good, that's good, we won't ask! As long as the director is back, will you go back to work tomorrow?" Zhou Qianjin asked.
"Go back! Without me here, you all feel that everything in the factory is not good. I must go back early."
"Then we'll wait for you tomorrow."
Xu Lili nudged Tian Yulan beside her with her arm and whispered, "Hurry up, show it to the director!"
"What do you want to show me?" Wang Ying asked.
Tian Yulan said a little embarrassedly, "It's the admission letter." She has been carrying it with her since the day she got it, thinking of showing it to Wang Ying.
"Oh! Congratulations! Let me see it quickly. Director Xiang had lunch with me today!" said Wang Ying.
Tian Yulan handed the admission letter to Wang Ying. Wang Ying looked at it from head to toe and exclaimed, "Great, great! Yulan is amazing! She's sure to achieve great things in the future!"
"I have to thank the director for this. If I hadn't met the director, I would still be mixing raw materials in the workshop." Tian Yulan has thanked Wang Ying many times, but she feels it is not enough.
"The person you should thank most is yourself." Wang Ying returned the admission letter to her and said, "Do you know Director Xiang's home address? You can visit him when you have time. He is the one who can really help you."
"I know, I will." Tian Yulan nodded heavily.
Zhao Yunsheng had just arrived home. He had been thinking all along the way that he would give Yingzi a hug as soon as he got home, but when he got home, he saw a room full of people...
However, Wang Ying's colleagues were also tactful. They knew that since everyone was about to have dinner, they shouldn't keep him any longer. So they said hello to Zhao Yunsheng, chatted for a while, and then left together.
After seeing off Wang Ying's colleagues, Zhao Yunsheng thought, finally, he could spend some time alone with Yingzi, sharing his heartfelt feelings and longing for her. Then his second sister and her family arrived, followed by his eldest sister, who also returned from work. The house became lively again. They all gathered around Wang Ying, talking, and Zhao Yunsheng found it difficult to interrupt.
As soon as dinner was over, Zhao Yunsheng "drove" his second sister and her family away, just to get Wang Ying upstairs earlier.
Seeing that her son's face was full of "missing his wife", Chen Xiuqin let Yueyue sleep in their room at night.
Zhao Yunsheng and Wang Ying finally lived together as they had wished. He hugged Wang Ying and asked, "Did you suffer any injustice at the Public Security Bureau?"
"No, it's fine. I have good food and drink every day, and I even made a friend."
"That's good. Have I seen men and women?" Zhao Yunsheng asked.
"It's a woman, Comrade Yang Xia, you've seen her," said Wang Ying.
"Did you miss me then?"
"think."
"Definitely not what I thought." Zhao Yunsheng's tone was filled with a hint of resentment.
Wang Ying also thought not. After all, she didn't put Zhao Yunsheng's photo under her pillow...
"By the way, Gu Xuan and his friends came today. He said his teacher wanted to buy the copyright of your "Late Autumn." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng pinched Wang Ying's nose: "I said you didn't think about me, but you changed the subject! Gu Xuan didn't mention it when he came here before."
"At that time, I was in a critical condition, so no one would tell you this," said Wang Ying.
"What do you mean by uncertain life or death? That's nonsense!" Zhao Yunsheng pinched Wang Ying's face again.
"If you are really proven to be a spy and a traitor, you will be dead." Wang Ying grabbed Zhao Yunsheng's hand.
"Is Lu Yanfen confirmed?"
"Well, there's something you don't know yet. Her initial mission was to infiltrate you," said Wang Ying.
Zhao Yunsheng was stunned. "Why would you infiltrate me? To be a spy?"
"You're a cultural propaganda expert, so your influence is significant. You usually work on cultural propaganda and literacy campaigns, reaching many people. You're also more polished and eloquent than most people, subtly influencing others culturally..."
Zhao Yunsheng broke out in a sweat. "That was a close call! I really didn't expect it at the time."
"Didn't she let you read a lot of foreign books? She wanted to start infiltrating through those books, making you yearn for it and look forward to it. Unexpectedly, you didn't yearn for the rounder moon in foreign countries, or for the writers there to write well, so her mission ended in failure." Wang Ying smiled.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that she did tell me before how free and beautiful life was abroad... I even scolded her at that time!"
"Your love for literature saved you," said Wang Ying.
Zhao Yunsheng was truly terrified. "You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance. Who could have guessed this? Do the Gao family members know about this?"
"The public security comrades didn't tell me, and Lu Yanfen didn't tell me either. She's a little mentally disturbed."
"I told you she's not in her right mind!"
"She's been mentally controlled, and she doesn't even know who her superior is. That person is truly despicable and should be shot immediately."
"No more, no more..." Zhao Yunsheng hugged Wang Ying tightly, "Ignore them, please calm my frightened heart."
"How to comfort her?" Wang Ying asked with a small smile.
"A gentle caress will be enough. A kiss would be even better." Zhao Yunsheng let go of Wang Ying, grabbed her hand, and pressed it against his heart...

Li Fengju was suffering from insomnia again. She couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. Her mind was full of thoughts about what her retribution would be and when it would come.
Wang Yongren had already fallen into a deep sleep, his snoring deafening.
Li Fengju sat in the darkness, watching Wang Yongren. He couldn't escape, and he was bound to get his share of the retribution. He treated Yingzi no better than himself, and even worse. Because Du Jianguo treated him well, he treated Du Jianguo closer than his own son!
Li Fengju thought about what happened in her dream and became angrier and angrier. She was angry at herself and also at Wang Yongren. Seeing him sleeping so soundly, she was so angry that she slapped Wang Yongren in the face. How could he sleep when he had hurt Yingzi so deeply!
Wang Yongren was awakened by Li Fengju's slap, and his snoring stopped abruptly. He reached out and turned on the light. The light was dazzling. He squinted and saw Li Fengju sitting next to him, staring at him with red eyes, as if she wanted to eat him!
Wang Yongren was awakened by Li Fengju's expression.
"Did you hit me just now?" Wang Yongren asked.
"Yes, I hit him!" Li Fengju glared at him.
"Why are you hitting me so late at night and not sleeping?" Wang Yongren said angrily.
"Am I crazy? I tell you, we are about to get our retribution!" Li Fengju said fiercely.
"What retribution? I've done something so evil that I deserve retribution. Are you having a nightmare again? You're talking nonsense!"
"Sun Qiaoling and Du Jianguo have already received retribution, Huihui has also received retribution, and next it will definitely be my turn and yours, no one can escape!" said Li Fengju.
"You're getting more and more crazy. Go to bed quickly." Wang Yongren reached out and turned off the light.
Li Fengju sat down and continued, "All of us committed sins in our past lives, and we are suffering the consequences in this life!"
Wang Yongren pretended not to hear and turned over to continue sleeping.
"God is watching what we do, this is absolutely true. The Du family and Wang Hui are in front, and we are behind. Qiaoling is in poor health, Jianguo is ruined, what will be the retribution for us?" Li Fengju shuddered.
Wang Yongren listened to her rambling and turned on the light in anger. "What the hell is wrong with you? You were worried about Yingzi and couldn't sleep a few days ago, but now that Yingzi is back and well, why are you still acting so badly?"
"How dare you mention Yingzi!" Li Fengju yelled at him, "You're not worthy of being my father!"
Wang Yongren simply sat up and said, "Li Fengju, you better explain yourself clearly today! What's going on? If you really go crazy, I will send you to a mental hospital tomorrow!" Wang Yongren thought to himself, could it be that the sleeping pills she took yesterday had taken effect? She was a little abnormal this morning and hit herself early in the morning.
"I dreamed about my past life," said Li Fengju.
"What do we mean by previous life? What did we do in the previous life?" Wang Yongren asked.
"We were two bastards in our previous life..." Li Fengju told Wang Yongren about her dream.
The more Wang Yongren listened, the deeper his frown deepened. When he heard that he and Li Fengju had covered up for Wang Hui and Du Jianguo in a scam against Wang Ying, Wang Yongren yelled, "Impossible! What kind of utterly clueless parents would do such a thing!"
"It's us two!" Li Fengju said, "Don't disbelieve me, Yingzi and Huihui both remember their past lives. Why did Yingzi suddenly change, and why did Huihui suddenly want to marry someone else? It's because they remembered everything!"
Wang Yongren still didn't believe it: "Impossible, I can't do that kind of thing, you're just dreaming! Past lives, present lives, that doesn't even exist."
"It's useless if you don't believe it. Retribution will definitely come to you." Li Fengju said quietly.
"Don't scare yourself. There are so many people who get sick and have accidents. Are they just retribution? If there really is retribution, what do we need the police for?" Wang Yongren didn't believe Li Fengju's words at all.
Li Fengju was still sitting there muttering, and Wang Yongren was so annoyed that he simply got out of bed and went to sleep in the sisters' room. Li Fengju was making a fuss, saying that it was okay not to sleep, as she didn't have to go to work, but he did.
Wang Yongren locked the door to prevent Li Fengju from coming in. He slept on Wang Hui's old bed and fell asleep as soon as his head rested on the pillow.
He began to dream... Whatever Li Fengju dreamed yesterday, he dreamed the same thing today, just from a different perspective.
Wang Yongren was awakened by Li Fengju's knocking on the door. It was already bright outside. He looked at his watch and it was already past eight o'clock.
Wang Yongren hurried out of bed and asked as soon as he opened the door, "Have you told Yingzi about your dream?"
Li Fengju barely slept all night, her eyes bloodshot. She said, "I told her, she admitted it."
Wang Yongren felt his head swell and his heartbeat quicken. Normally, dreams are forgotten upon waking, but this time, the dream seemed to be becoming increasingly clear.
He suspected that he had this dream because of what Li Fengju said yesterday. He also felt that there might really be a previous life, and the one in his dream was his previous life.
"Are you dreaming too?" Li Fengju asked Wang Yongren with a sigh of relief when she saw his ugly face.
"It's all because of you saying those crazy things to me in the middle of the night that I had this dream!" said Wang Yongren.
Li Fengju suddenly felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Wang Yongren also had this dream!
"Whether this dream is true or false, you will understand if you think about it carefully. Why did Huihui suddenly want to marry someone else, and why did Yingzi suddenly become so capable? Outsiders don't know, not even our own family members know?" said Li Fengju.
Hearing Li Fengju's words, Wang Yongren felt more convinced. Thinking of Sun Qiaoling and Du Jianguo, his head ached even more. Could it be that they were really being punished? Were they really going to be the next couple to suffer?
