Fishermen by the sea, which one doesn't have some ailments as they get older?
Rheumatism and bone pain are perfectly normal.
Her husband only went with her because he was worried, but his health probably won't hold up for long. At most, he'll have to let go and let the children do it on their own after this year.
Then she and Boss Fu would grow some vegetables at home, and she would guard the newly built hotel for Fu Wan. It would be best if Fu Ming and An Ning could have a baby. Oh my, then Ye Xiaocui would feel that she would have no regrets in this life!
Ye Xiaocui happily ate the porridge in her bowl while dreaming about the future.
When it's hot, a bowl of cold porridge is even more refreshing.
The pig's trotter soup in the stainless steel pot was still simmering. She planned to check if Fu Liang had returned after dinner, and then have him pack the food in a lunchbox and deliver it to Wang Huiping.
Just as they were about to do that, Yuanbao and Dahuang, who were lying by their legs, suddenly stood up. Yuanbao rushed to the gate like lightning and started barking wildly at the gate.
"Woof woof woof!"
Who is it?
Ye Xiaocui put down her bowl and walked out with a puzzled look. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a person standing at the gate.
"Anning? Why are you back?"
"Hey, have you eaten yet? Hurry up and come inside. How come you've lost so much weight in just one week?"
Did you not eat properly again, you young people...?
The person who came was Qin Anning. Hearing Ye Xiaocui's series of concerned nagging, Qin Anning could no longer hold back. A feeling of grievance welled up in her heart, and her red eyes quickly filled with tears.
"mother……"
"Hey, what's going on?!"
Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?
This was the first time Ye Xiaocui had ever seen her daughter-in-law cry like this, and her mind went blank for a moment; she didn't know how to comfort her.
Ye Xiaocui's voice was quite loud, and with Yuanbao and Dahuang barking incessantly, the neighbors in several houses next door heard the commotion.
It was lunchtime, and several people came out curiously with their rice bowls in hand.
Fu Zhenhua glanced at her and realized it was Qin Anning. He quickly pulled his wife, Xu Mei, aside and gestured for her to go and ask her.
They're all neighbors, and Fu Wan and Fu Ming aren't home. If something really happens, they'll definitely help if they can.
"Auntie, what happened? Is everything alright? Do you need any help?"
Ye Xiaocui shook her head upon hearing this, "Oh, it's alright, it's alright. This child is probably starving. I'll take her back to the room to eat!"
Looking at Qin Anning, she had already quickly wiped away her tears, acting as if nothing had happened.
Noticing Xu Mei's scrutinizing gaze, Qin Anning smiled apologetically at her and then followed Ye Xiaocui into the house.
Xu Mei was so dazzled by Qin Anning's smile that she didn't even notice when her own man appeared behind her.
"What are you looking at? Everyone's gone."
Xu Mei was startled and turned around upon hearing this, only to be met with Fu Zhenhua's rough-looking face.
Having just seen Qin Anning's beautiful face, seeing Fu Zhenhua is equally impactful.
Xu Mei suddenly remembered Comrade Bai, who used to visit Ye Xiaocui's house often. She had to admit, these people were really good-looking.
Then she looked at her own husband, and tsk, she never thought he was so ugly before.
Even her daughter isn't that pretty.
They all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, so how come some people are so good-looking? It's just unfair!
Fu Zhenhua understood the disdain in Xu Mei's eyes and was immediately puzzled.
Weren't we talking about the neighbors? Why are you complaining about him now?
"What happened? Did something happen next door?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Auntie said Fu Ming's wife is hungry, so we don't need to help her."
After saying that, Xu Mei couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhenhua, if you really have time, go and tidy yourself up. Look at how sloppy you are. How long has it been since you cut your hair and beard? Go and get them cut!"
After Xu Mei finished speaking, she turned and went back into the house, leaving Fu Zhenhua standing there questioning his life.
No, he just got a haircut at the market half a month ago. Xu Mei praised him for looking good yesterday, so why is she saying he looks sloppy today?
Oh dear, women's hearts are so fickle!
Ye Xiaocui paid no attention to the quarreling couple next door. At this moment, she was sitting next to Qin Anning, asking her in detail what had happened.
Qin Anning didn't intend to hide anything and quickly recounted what had happened at the camp.
This remark infuriated Ye Xiaocui.
"What? Someone reported you for accepting things from the US and engaging in asset corruption?!"
Qin Anning nodded. She was also helpless. The reason sounded absurd, but since someone had reported it, especially in a confidential department like the research group, and given Qin Anning's background of studying abroad, it was a valid reason.
Even with Wang Desheng and others vouching for her, she had no choice but to stop working and accept the investigation.
Wang Desheng was certain that Qin Anning was not the kind of person who would take bribes. Although he had not been at the camp for long, because they lived across the street from each other, his wife often saw Qin Anning working overtime until midnight before returning to his residence to rest.
Moreover, the spy torpedoes that Wang Desheng brought back were dismantled and restored in just one week, so Wang Desheng was well aware that Qin Anning was a rare talent.
Moreover, he is a talented individual who is wholeheartedly devoted to the organization.
Wang Desheng wanted to protect such a talent, but he was just a minor deputy regimental commander. The regimental commander and the others had gone to Beijing with Sun Shao-ping and were supposed to return in the next couple of days, but they were held up by something at the last minute.
After much deliberation, Wang Desheng finally came up with a solution: to have Qin Anning return to Fujia Village for a while, until the investigation team had completed its procedures, and then come back.
This was already the result of Wang Desheng's efforts. Logically, Qin Anning should have waited for the investigation results at the camp. However, the camp was also a place where rumors circulated, and people were constantly coming and going from the family compound.
To prevent Qin Anning from being troubled by these rumors, Wang Desheng directly used his own identity as a guarantee to have the guards escort Qin Anning back to Fujia Village.
However, even after returning to the village, Qin Anning could not leave Longhai City and had to be ready to cooperate with the investigation at any time, since it involved enemy agents and the higher-ups were very cautious.
Qin Anning understood these principles; the innocent are innocent, and she was not afraid of being investigated.
But when she actually returned to Fu Family Village and saw Ye Xiaocui, Qin Anning didn't know why, but a surge of grievances welled up inside her.
Even though it's the 1980s, because she studied abroad and came from a well-off family, many people in the residential compound still gossip about her, and some ignorant children even chase after her and curse her as a capitalist.
If Qin Anning hadn't had ideals to realize, she would have quit long ago.
Thinking back to when she returned to China full of enthusiasm, and the encouragement from Fu Wan's family, she endured all these grievances.
Ye Xiaocui was furious and immediately started cursing.
That damned bastard! He only knows how to bully young women. It must be because his daughter-in-law is too outstanding and gets in other people's way that she was maliciously reported.
"It's done, Mother knows you're a good person."
Don't cry anymore. You educated people are too reasonable. Once we find out who reported it, I'll get your Aunt Chunlan and the toughest old ladies in the village, and we'll go to their house to get revenge for you!"
