Ding Youtian had seen a photo of Jian Ning in a police uniform. While not an exact match for Xiu Gu, she was at least 80% similar. Therefore, he suspected that the current Ma Fuquan was probably not much different from the past Ma Fuquan.
Ma Fuquan is not a handsome man, but he is a very heroic man. He is not worried that Ma Fu will have any improper thoughts about Jian Ning. Tian is pregnant now, and Ma Fuquan is particularly good to Tian.
He saw all of this.
But does Jian Ning have any admiration for Ma Fuquan?
No, just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable. The more uncomfortable he felt, the more he wanted to know the answer.
"What's there to say? He's a man of few words. But..." Jane Ning raised her eyes, "He seems to be talking more now."
Jian Ning seemed to understand something. After all their time together, she had never considered Wu Dui a family, because he always stayed on duty during the holidays. One must have a family; who wouldn't want to go home and reunite with their family during the Lunar New Year? Her home had been empty since her master left, but she still went back every holiday.
So, not only her, but other colleagues in the team also unanimously thought that Captain Wu was single.
Although she didn't know the specific reason, Jian Ning guessed that his relationship with his wife might not have been good before. Perhaps his wife really looked like Tian, so he was making up for it now? Making up for the debt he owed to his family in his previous life?
interesting.
Jane Ning smiled casually, lowered her brows and continued sewing clothes.
Her smile caught Ding Youtian's eye, and it felt like a thorn in his heart. "Are you laughing because you're thinking of Brother Ma?"
"What do you care? I laugh whenever I want." Jian Ning glared at him.
"There's always a reason to laugh. I remember you said you were his colleague. Do you mean you work with him? Are you his subordinate?"
"Yes. I was a female special police officer under him, and he was our leader, the captain, which was equivalent to his current position, the head constable."
"So, you used to be a female detective there?"
"Well, that's understandable."
Ding Youtian couldn't quite understand why there was a female constable in the yamen. But that wasn't the point. The point was that the head constable and the constable were together day in and day out, so it was inevitable that they would fall in love.
He got anxious and asked, "Have you ever had him in your heart?"
Jian Ning's hand movement froze, and then she looked up at him. He pretended to be indifferent, "Actually, it's nothing that you thought about him."
Actually, his question wasn't a big deal, but his expression and tone at the moment made Jane Ning inexplicably angry. She threw down her clothes and kicked him out without a word. She then went to the bedroom, took his quilt from the bed, and threw it at him, depriving him of the right to sleep on it.
"My dear, I don't mean anything else. Please listen to my explanation..."
He was holding on to the door and didn't want to leave.
Jian Ning spat at him from inside the door, "Bah! Who is your wife? Go sleep in the stable!"
Ding Youtian stood outside the door, hugging his blanket, saying a bunch of nice things to Jian Ning, but Jian Ning ignored him. He thought it was hopeless, so he thought about going to the east room. But considering Dabao was injured, he was afraid he might get squeezed by him if he turned over during the night. After thinking it over, he hugged his blanket and went to Blind Liu's house.
"What are you doing..." Blind Liu opened the door and was stunned when he saw him holding the quilt.
"My wife kicked me out. Master, you don't mind me, do you? If you do, I'll stay with you for one night."
"Disgusted!" Blind Liu raised his foot to block him.
So straightforward? No beating around the bush?
"Master..." He sounded pitiful and coughed twice.
"Stay away." Blind Liu remained unmoved, looking at him as if he wanted to beat him to death. "Can't you sleep in the clinic? Why do you have to come here?"
"The key is in the room. If I could get the key, I wouldn't have to disturb the master in the middle of the night."
"Since you know it will disturb you, why bother disturbing you?"
"After all, we were master and disciple. If Master is so heartless, why not sever the relationship? I kowtowed to you three times when I became your disciple. Please return it to me. Even if you do, I can never repay what you taught me."
"Why should I return your three heads if you can't pay it back? No way!"
"The door is fine."
Ding Youtian grinned and rushed in without saying anything. "Let's continue to be master and apprentice, and this door will be opened."
"Why don't you act like a scoundrel to your wife? You useless thing."
If it's useless, then it's useless. Ding Youtian put the quilt on Blind Liu's bed and was about to lie down when he remembered that Blind Liu had a bamboo bed at his house. He had slept on that bamboo bed when Meng drove his family to Blind Liu's house.
"Where is that bamboo bed?" He looked around but couldn't find it.
"Chop it up and burn it as firewood."
"Impossible. It must have been put in the secret room. I'll go look for it. I don't believe I can't find your secret room."
"Calm down! If you keep making trouble, I'll follow your wife's example and kick you out."
"It's not right for two men to sleep in the same bed. Even if you don't despise me, I despise you."
"You go to sleep." Blind Liu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the armchair, holding his breath and meditating like an old monk in meditation.
After a while, white mist rose above his head. Ding Youtian thought it was magical and tried to imitate it, but his legs were not under his control. He could not cross his legs like Liu the Blind Man, so he had to give up.
The next day, Jian Ning woke up and did not see Ding Youtian in Dabao's room. She guessed that he had gone to sleep at Blind Liu's house.
She fetched some water, watched Dabao take his medicine, and then went to the courtyard to try a set of Tai Chi. It was better than yesterday, so she tried the second move in the booklet, but it still didn't work, so she gave up trying.
"Master." Ma Xiaomai came.
"Why did your father beat you yesterday? Are you feeling better?"
"Hey, it's okay. It doesn't hurt at all. It just leaves a little mark, but it's not really an injury."
"Can you cry if it doesn't hurt? Let me apply some medicine for you."
"Really. I'm not crying because it hurts, I'm crying because..." Ma Xiaomai scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I know I was wrong. Dad said Mom is pregnant. Today I must help Mom with work and stop playing around and being lazy. My dad said I'm not a child anymore and should understand things."
"You're right to think so." Jian Ning thought to himself, should I give Tian a few months' vacation after the New Year? After all, brewing wine is not an easy job.
Last night, after she had chased Ding Youtian away, Ma Fuquan had messaged her again, asking about the situation between Ding Pingshun and Sanniang. He didn't know the details. Tian had mentioned to him the idea of setting up an escort agency after the New Year and asked if Ding Pingshun should be hired to do odd jobs. He asked Jian Ning for her opinion.
Jane Ning's opinion was not to use it for the time being. Ding Pingshun looked honest on the surface, but was actually very cunning. She had inquired indirectly afterwards and found that most of the neighbors had a bad opinion of him.
It wasn't that she didn't want to help the Chang family. Chang was a perfect person, but having a man like Ding Pingshun was a tough life for her. It all depended on whether her family's Ding Sheng could achieve anything in the future. If she couldn't enjoy the blessing of a man, having a son was good enough.
After Mr. Ding San arrived, he sent Ding Sheng and Ma Xiaomi to school, and then went to the dock to help Jian Ning inquire. There was a ship on the 28th going to Zhuling County. He paid a deposit and booked a room for their family on the ship.
