Xia Enru knocked on Wu Meixia's office door.
"Sister Meixia, I hope I didn't disturb your work?"
"Hey! My god-sister's here!"
Wu Meixia stood up with a smile, walked up to the two of them, shook Xia Enruo's hand, and greeted them.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiang exclaimed, "My goodness! When did Xia Enruo suddenly have another policewoman, and she's even the head of a police station?"
“Sister-in-law, you never told me you had a god-sister.”
Yuan Qiang was completely bewildered.
Xia Enruo turned to Yuan Qiang and introduced him:
"It's not too late for you to know now. Yuan Qiang is my sworn sister, Sister Wu Meixia."
“Sister Meixia. This is my husband’s comrade-in-arms, Brother Yuan Qiang.”
"Hello, sister. I'm Yuan Qiang."
Yuan Qiang politely extended his hand.
“You can tell he’s a spirited young man. My sister used to be a soldier too. After she retired, she was assigned to the Public Security Bureau.”
Wu Meixia shook hands with Yuan Qiang and said.
"Big sister. I came to see you today so you can come to my house for dinner. Gu Shaoxuan was discharged from the hospital today."
Xia Enruo explained her purpose.
"That's great news! I've been waiting for you. I was in such a rush last time I went to the hospital to handle a case. This time, we need to come to your house so we can have a good chat. Please have a seat, I'll pour you some water."
Wu Meixia asked the two to sit on the sofa, then took out a teacup, brewed some tea, and continued to ask Xia Enruo questions.
"Enruo, no one has been bullying you lately, has anyone?"
"Big sister, don't worry, everything is fine."
"Girl, just remember this: we don't bully others, but we also can't let others bully us. Don't you agree, Brother Yuan Qiang?"
Yuan Qiang replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes!"
She thought to herself, "If Xia En had you as her older sister, who would dare to bully her?"
Wu Meixia brought tea to the two of them and sat down next to Xia Enruo to continue chatting:
"Has Qiao Huizhen stopped bothering you?"
"Big sister. She moved away, I don't know where she went."
"This woman is the most shrew I've ever seen. Before we punished her, she would point at anyone and curse them, saying such awful things that even the young male officers in our station couldn't handle her. When she finally heard that she was going to be detained, she panicked and started crying and screaming. How can someone like this be a doctor? Would patients dare to let her treat them?"
Wu Meixia's words once again revealed Qiao Huizhen's ugly face to Yuan Qiang, showing that her dismissal from the hospital was not entirely innocent.
It's such a pity for Lao Ding. He never expected to marry such a shrewish wife. He's going to suffer. His comrades used to envy him, but now they're probably glad they're not him.
After exchanging pleasantries in the office for a while, Xia Enruo told Wu Meixia to come directly to her home for dinner that evening.
On their way home, the two stopped at the black market again, and Xia Enruo bought several more pounds of fruit. They didn't have enough fruit at home to make fruit tea, so they needed more ingredients today because there were more people.
When they arrived home, Ge Qiuqin and the others had already washed, chopped, and plated the vegetables, waiting for Xia Enruo to come back and cook them.
They were busy frying dough cakes at Ge Qiuqin's house. In the 1980s, being able to eat fried dough cakes was like celebrating the New Year. It seems that everyone is really celebrating the New Year today.
Yuan Qiang tore off a piece of freshly fried dough and stuffed it into his mouth.
It smells so good. Living in this compound must be so wonderful. With Xia Enruo around, he could probably eat such a sumptuous meal all the time. He even wanted to move into the empty house that Ding Haotian had given him.
As soon as Xia Enruo entered the house, she started washing the fruit. She took out half of it, washed it, and put it on a plate, waiting for people to come over to eat. She cut the rest into slices and started making fruit tea.
She was busy in the kitchen, and soon the aroma of fruit wafted out.
Gu Shaoxuan sat in his wheelchair watching his wife's busy figure, while he ate an apple, feeling incredibly happy.
When Xia Enruo went out, he found twenty yuan under his pillow.
He put the document back into Xia Enruo's pocket, then spent a long time searching the room for the divorce agreement he had written earlier, intending to secretly take it out and tear it up.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.
Where did Xia Enruo put it? Is she really planning to wait until I'm better before bringing it up for divorce? What excuse will I make then?
"Xia Enruo, my legs are not strong enough to walk far. Let's go see the political commissar another day."
“Xia Enruo, that report is outdated and needs to be rewritten, but my eyesight is failing and I can’t write.”
“Xia Enruo, I…”
Gu Shaoxuan's mind was racing, like a movie, simulating how he would refuse Xia Enruo's offer of a divorce. But none of his excuses seemed quite convincing.
These damn legs, why did they get better so quickly!
What are you doing? You're just staring blankly.
Xia Enruo watched Gu Shaoxuan munching on an apple, lost in thought, and patted him, asking him a question.
"Oh, it's nothing. Are you tired? If you are, take a rest."
"Everyone will be coming to eat soon, so I can't rest. You should go back to your room first. The fumes are too strong, and you can't smell them since you were just discharged from the hospital!"
Xia Enruo pushed him into the house and closed the door. This was the first time Gu Shaoxuan felt that the door to his bedroom was in the way.
"Sister-in-law, do you need any help? How about I help you out?"
Yuan Qiang walked over from Ge Qiuqin's room. He ate a fried pancake, and his mouth was shiny with oil.
"Okay, could you blanch those ribs for me?"
"Okay."
Yuan Qiang rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Everyone was busy working, and it wasn't appropriate for him to just sit there waiting for dinner.
Gu Shaoxuan heard Yuan Qiang enter the kitchen, then push open the door and come out again. He then moved his wheelchair into the kitchen as well.
"I'll help too."
He looked at Xia Enruo and said.
"What are you helping me with? You're sitting in a wheelchair at the same height as the stove. Go back now, you can't stand the smell of cooking oil."
