Xie Changhe's face darkened even more upon hearing Zhang Ailing's words.
"Xie Feng, look at the state you're in! Go and get ready and wash up."
Xie Feng glared at Zhang Ailing and went straight back to his room.
While eating, Eileen Chang pretended not to care and said, "I think you need to keep a closer eye on Xiao Feng. Look at him, even though he got into Peking University, he's always so irresponsible. He's so old and doesn't even have a girlfriend. He just drifts around all day."
Xie Changhe looked at Zhang Ailing and smiled, "That's what a stepmother should say. You're right, Xiao Feng is indeed getting on in years and is certainly old enough to find a partner, it's just that his health..."
At this point, he glanced at Eileen Chang with a hint of reproach, "If it weren't for you back then, his body wouldn't be in this state now."
"That's because he hurt my baby first. You know, I was so angry back then."
"Old Xie, I was wrong before. Let me tell you, I have a friend whose daughter is beautiful, a high school graduate, and now works as a nurse in a hospital. She doesn't mind this. I showed her Xiao Feng's picture, and she seems willing. What do you think?"
Hearing her say that, Xie Changhe took it to heart: "Sure! Arrange for her to come over for dinner tomorrow. Let them get to know each other."
Eileen Chang smiled and agreed.
Meanwhile, Su Li arranged for the denim to be shipped and then took Liu Xiaocao back to Beijing.
When they got home, Su Li found a guest room for Liu Xiaocao to stay in, saying, "You can stay here for now. I'll see what kind of work you can do in a couple of days, and you can move out when you have some money."
Liu Xiaocao looked at the large courtyard house in front of her, and then at the house that Su Li had arranged for her.
He said gratefully, "Thank you, Comrade Su."
"Su Li went to the bathroom to take a shower and change her clothes."
After telling Liu Xiaocao what was going on and getting her a change of clothes, she left. She hadn't seen her baby in so long. She missed him a little.
Su Li rode her family's bicycle for half an hour to Chen Jing's house.
She parked the car and knocked on the door, which opened quickly.
Su Li looked at the man in front of her, his eyes bloodshot, his gaze fixed on her intently.
"I'm here to pick up my child."
Gu Huanian stepped aside to let her in.
Just as Su Li was about to go to Chen Shujing to hold the child, Gu Huanian grabbed her arm and said, "Li, come to my room, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Gu Huanian's serious expression, she followed him into the room.
After Su Li came in, Gu Huanian closed the door behind her.
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Seeing how nervous he was, she also became nervous.
"Ah Li, could you supply the troops with the fruit and food you had before?"
Su Li looked at Gu Huanian in astonishment after hearing his words.
"But that thing is gone."
Seeing Su Li's reaction, Gu Huanian didn't mince words and said directly, "The higher-ups are already watching you, and they know what you're using those fruits and grains for. They even investigated you and followed you for a while."
Su Li felt a chill run through her heart after hearing Gu Huanian's words.
She had been too naive before; she hadn't realized that the country had been watching her all along.
To be honest, she would be willing to give it to the soldiers in the army.
But how could she explain the wonderful uses of the grain, and how could she explain the source of the supply?
The space must never be exposed; currently, only Su Jiaojiao and Xie Feng know about it.
She wondered if the government would find out and she would be dissected and studied.
"Gu Huanian, is it that I can't refuse?"
Gu Huanian nodded.
Knowing that Su Li was not at home during this period, he also communicated with the senior leader several times.
It's no use. If Su Li doesn't hand over the grain voluntarily, her superiors might take some other measures.
He can't afford to gamble.
“I’m willing to supply, but there are some things I need to make clear in advance. Right now, we really don’t have any stock. Can you ask your boss to approve a few acres of land for me? Then I can grow these grains and fruits.”
Su Li's idea was that when the time came, she would just add a little bit of spiritual spring water, and the grains would be slightly better than ordinary grains.
It would be inconspicuous and could slightly improve the physical condition of those soldiers.
When Gu Huanian heard her say that, his heart skipped a beat. "Then you didn't grow the grain you were growing before. Where did you buy it from? If the boss asks you that, have you thought about how you're going to explain it?"
After hearing Gu Huanian say that, she knew that there were some flaws in her words, but now it's all about who can lie the best, isn't it?
“The person I used to wholesale fruit and grain always disguised himself when he came out, so I don’t know what he looks like. He’s not here anymore, and now you’re asking me to hand over the grain. What am I supposed to do? Luckily, I managed to buy some seeds from him before, so I can only try planting one kind.”
"I'll talk to my supervisor this afternoon. Please be mindful of what you do in the future."
Su Li took out the box that Gu Huanian had given her last time, the one that held the bracelet, from her pocket; "This isn't suitable for me, you should keep it!"
After saying that, Su Li opened the door and went out. Just then, Chen Shujing also came out from outside carrying the child.
"You're back. Have dinner here tonight. I'll make some of your favorite dishes later."
Su Li shook her head: "No need, Auntie. Gousheng will be back soon. I came here to hold the baby."
