"You mean Tian Danxiong?"
Lin Jingyu was taken aback upon hearing this.
After a moment's thought, he nodded. "If it's not an inside man, it could very well be a Japanese soldier."
It's hard to say whether it was Tian Danxiong or not.
Especially during this period, Shujue has been staying mostly in the county town, and the Japanese soldier rarely goes out, so Shujue shouldn't be able to offend him.
She remembered that in the original story, the female protagonist, Yang Shujue, didn't have much of a connection with the Japanese; at most, they were just familiar neighbors.
Nowadays, the two have very little contact, so Yang Shujue has no chance to offend him.
"If it wasn't him, then who was it?"
Peng Shiyu muttered, "Anyway, he's a bad guy. Only he would do bad things."
"We'll know whether it is or not after we investigate."
Lin Jingyu couldn't help but smile.
This girl blames everything on the Japanese.
She cleaned the red dates, ginseng, lily bulbs, and other medicinal herbs, then put them into a large porcelain bowl and stewed them with half a chicken.
Then he added, "I hope it's not that little Japanese devil, otherwise I don't know how to deal with him."
"Yes, he has been doing evil and is always ready to kill people."
Peng Shiyu's face was full of disgust. "Those little devils are really no good. Even now that they've been beaten half to death, they still can't behave themselves."
"These are things we can't concern ourselves with for now."
Lin Jingyu shrugged helplessly. "The world is in such a mess these days, there's nothing we can do about it."
"I don't know when things will calm down."
"Who knows? Let's just live our own lives."
...
The two spoke in hushed tones, waiting for news.
After the chicken soup was ready, Yang Shujue woke up.
After she finished drinking the chicken soup, her overall condition improved considerably.
Lin Jingyu asked casually, "How are you? Does it still hurt?"
"Much better."
Yang Shujue gave a wry smile, "It's within my tolerance range. I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
"fine."
Peng Shiyu responded, "We've been in the county town for the past few days. We'll go back once you've recovered enough."
"Did you all ask the village chief for leave?"
Yang Shujue turned to look at Lin Jingyu and asked again, "Is your sister-in-law arriving soon?"
Yes, in the last few days.
Lin Jingyu nodded and added, "Shiyu is also planning to buy a small villa."
"Oh no, really?!"
Yang Shujue looked surprised. "Peng Shiyu, you called me stupid last time, how come you're planning to buy a villa now?"
"Hehe, since Sister Jingyu bought it, of course I have to buy it too."
Peng Shiyu replied with a smile, "Besides, you're planning to buy it too. Am I the only one who isn't going to buy it? I won't stand for that."
"You girl."
Yang Shujue was speechless after being confronted with her reasoning.
Then he asked, "Did you buy it? You didn't all buy it, and I was the last one to buy it, did you?"
"The price is a bit high, so I haven't bought it yet."
Peng Shiyu said with a smile, "I'll go to another store later and ask about the price. I'll buy from whichever store has the cheaper price."
"Damn, you're all faster than me."
Yang Shujue was frustrated. "No, I have to buy it first. It can't be that you all have villas and I don't."
"Shujue, are you really planning to buy a house?"
An Yalin and her son, who were taking a nap, had just come downstairs when they heard her words.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "You're all so young, yet your earning power surpasses that of countless others. I truly envy you."
"Sister-in-law Lu, this is just a small scuffle, nothing to worry about."
Yang Shujue smiled awkwardly, "Look at me, I'm having such a bad time, and I'm even troubling you."
"This is nothing, it's no trouble at all."
An Yalin waved her hand dismissively and told her precious son to call for help.
With the little guy around, everyone started playing with him and having fun.
The living room was bustling with activity.
Seeing that it was still early, Peng Shiyu dragged An Yalin to look at houses again.
He was thinking about buying his own little villa as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Jingyu brought Yang Shujue back to her home.
“So beautiful!”
Looking at the house in front of him, it was not much worse than the Lu family's house in any aspect.
Yang Shujue's eyes revealed envy. "Jingyu, you're really something. You bought such a high-end house so easily."
"The villas in this area are all quite nice."
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "Once you buy it, everyone will be in the same boat."
"Oh dear, I should have bought the house from Sister-in-law Lu first."
Yang Shujue looked at her bandaged arm, her face full of frustration. "It's so inconvenient to buy a house like this. What bad luck."
"If it's inconvenient for you to come in person, you can ask Su Jingtian to buy it for you."
Lin Jingyu suggested, "But you should be prepared that the price won't be low, and since you'll be buying furniture as well, it will probably be more expensive than mine."
Yang Shujue didn't care at all, "It's expensive, but if we don't buy it now, it will be even more expensive in the future."
"Okay, as long as you know what I mean."
Lin Jingyu went into the kitchen to prepare some sweet soup.
"Didn't you just arrive today?"
Yang Shujue looked surprised when she saw the things in the kitchen. "How did you prepare everything all at once?"
"Yes, Shiyu and Sister-in-law Lu went to look at houses, and I stayed home tidying up."
Lin Jingyu nodded in response.
I took red beans and mung beans from the cupboard and soaked them in water.
He continued, "The food and supplies are almost ready."
"By the way, are you planning to stay here with me, or go back to Sister-in-law Lu's house?"
