"Later, his wife called her family over. After hearing what had happened, they all shouted for money and food, almost tearing Ke Wenpei apart."
Seeing that he was being bullied to the point of no return, I snatched his phone and called his siblings over. The two families confronted each other and then blamed each other.
Logically speaking, now that things have developed to this point, shouldn't I be able to retire gracefully?
But no, both families wouldn't let me leave, insisting that I judge their case. Tell me, what right do I, an outsider, have to spout nonsense?
I remained silent, sitting in the corner watching them argue and bicker until dawn. When his family was tired, I slipped away under Ke Wenpei's cover.
Chen Qing sighed, "Now I understand why Ke Wenpei is so obsessed with making money and food. He's forced into it! If we were to have two terrible relatives, we'd probably be even worse off than him."
After saying that, he shook his head and said, "You only know how hard he works after you've seen it for yourself. If it were me, I would have collapsed long ago. Tell me, how come his family is so amazing that two such awful people could end up together?"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, and they finally understood why Ke Wenpei had been so agitated yesterday when he heard that he had been transferred to the labor force.
This is because they've been exploited too much and are under too much pressure.
Ugh, I'm in such a bad mood!
Around noon, the investigation team arrived. Because yesterday's events were so egregious, even though their own staff hadn't reported it, it had still been leaked by people from other units.
The investigation team questioned Yu Shui, Chen Qing, Shen Yanming, and two other colleagues separately. Seeing that their accounts were almost identical, they wrote a report and had them sign it.
Afterwards, I visited Zhu Shiliang at the hospital and asked him for his opinion on the incident.
Zhu Shiliang was very magnanimous. Because he knew about Ke Wenpei's family situation, he not only did not kick him when he was down, but also spoke very well of him.
After clarifying the victim's attitude, the investigation team went to the neighborhood where Ke Wenpei lived, learned about his family situation from the surrounding neighbors, and inquired about Ke Wenpei's usual behavior and their opinions of him.
Although no one had discussed it beforehand, their attitudes were more unified than ever before. Because what happened last night was such a big deal, they roughly knew what had happened this morning.
They were all envious when Ke Wenpei and his friends were doing business. But when they learned that he had lost his job because of it, they felt sorry for him.
Looking back, Ke Wenpei has had a tough time these past few years. Not only did his parents and siblings frequently take advantage of him, but his wife was also a doting brother.
When people ask him why he doesn't get a divorce, Ke Wenpei always gives a bitter smile and says, "Is divorce free or is marriage free?"
So he could only endure it, struggling to survive in this oppressive atmosphere. It wasn't until recently that his life began to improve significantly.
After figuring this out, everyone stopped being envious of the supplies and pleaded with the investigation team to give him another chance.
The investigation team didn't say anything, but after leaving, they found Ko Wen-pei and had a two-hour conversation with him.
Both sides were frank and open with each other. The investigation team shared their views on the incident, and Ko Wen-pei also recognized his mistake. He asked the league and the guard team to give him another chance, regardless of whether he received a demerit or had his salary deducted.
The investigation team did not agree, saying only that they needed to go back for a meeting to discuss it.
Afterwards, they went to the community where Rong Huai and the other two lived to investigate the situation. Since the three of them were not the main culprits and admitted their mistakes in time, the investigation was very simple. After a brief conversation, they left.
It wasn't until a week later, when Zhu Shiliang returned to work, that he told everyone that Ke Wenpei and Rong Huai had already reported to the labor service team.
However, Rong Huai and the other two received a demerit and had three months' salary and benefits deducted. Ke Wenpei, on the other hand, not only received a demerit but was also stripped of his permanent position.
Now, he is just an ordinary laborer, but his work performance is being closely monitored. If he makes a mistake, he will be expelled from the laborer team and never be hired again.
Everyone sighed upon hearing this, but they didn't know that this result had far exceeded Ko Wen-pei and his companions' expectations. They were very grateful to the alliance and the guard team for giving them a chance to turn over a new leaf.
Time flew by and it was almost Chinese New Year. After the holiday started, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan stayed in the space every day.
The fruits, vegetables, and grains in the space hadn't been harvested for a long time, and the chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep were almost overpopulated. After spending quite some time sorting through all the plants and animals, the two of them took plastic buckets and went up the mountain.
Yes, we need to fetch more spiritual spring water. They use it frequently, and the previous batch is all gone. Besides, Bi Qiaoan's belly is already swollen, and if we don't go up the mountain soon, she won't be able to make it.
When the two stood on the mountaintop again, Bi Qiaoan felt the surrounding spiritual energy seep into her body through her pores. Her previously tired body instantly felt comfortable, and even her stomach felt warm.
Shen Yanming found a rock for Bi Qiaoan, brushed off the fallen leaves with his sleeve, and let Bi Qiaoan sit down to rest. He then went to Lingquan Lake to fetch water, picking some fruit along the way.
And so, the two parted ways.
About an hour later, Shen Yanming returned. After resting for a while with Bi Qiaoan, the two went down the mountain.
In the following days, the two spent their time collecting food and cooking in their online space, leading a simple and happy life.
Moreover, Shen Yanming has made great progress in practicing lifting large stones.
On the last day of the holiday, Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming discussed taking their goose out to see the world.
They found the goose digging at the grass roots on the grassland, and to their surprise, it had grown even bigger in the time they hadn't seen it.
"If this were outside, it would be a tempting target for countless people!" Bi Qiaoan exclaimed.
Her voice was very low, but apart from the animal calls, there was only one human voice on the grassland, so the goose heard it immediately.
It pounced excitedly, squawking loudly.
Fearing it might bump into Bi Qiaoan, Shen Yanming quickly shouted, "Stop it! Be quiet!"
The goose obediently folded its wings and stopped in front of the two.
Shen Yanming squatted down to be at eye level with the goose and asked, "Would you like to live with us outside?"
The goose didn't understand what "outside" meant, but it understood that it was with its male and female owners, so it quacked and nodded.
Shen Yanming smiled and continued, "Then we need to agree on three rules."
First, you must be obedient and not attack others arbitrarily.
Second, you cannot urinate or defecate anywhere; you must go to a designated place to defecate.
Third, you need a goose to stay with you while we're at work, and it's not allowed to damage anything in the house.
Shen Yanming wasn't actually sure if the goose understood, but seeing it nod, he automatically assumed it did.
So, the two of them went out of the room first and turned on the lights in the living room and bedroom before letting the goose out.
