Shen Qiaoyue returned to her office and worked for a long time. When she looked at the time, it was already 6:30.
There is no need to work overtime on Saturdays, and Sundays are a day off.
I left the factory and walked to the door.
Seeing Lu Chen standing to the side waiting for her, Shen Qiaoyue happily ran over.
"Why are you so late today!" Lu Chen smiled happily when he saw Shen Qiaoyue, but he was also worried that Shen Qiaoyue's work was too heavy. "Are you too tired from work?"
"Work is fine, not tiring at all." Shen Qiaoyue apologized guiltily, "I'm sorry, I was so busy today that I forgot the time to leave work."
Upon getting closer, Shen Qiaoyue reached out and took Lu Chen's hand.
"I've been sitting all day, Brother Shen, walk with me for a bit, it'll give me some exercise." Shen Qiaoyue felt like her butt was about to die from sitting so long.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lu Chen turned the bicycle around, then controlled the handlebars with one hand and reached out to pull Shen Qiaoyue along.
Shen Qiaoyue held his hand, leaned on Lu Chen's arm, and walked slowly.
On the way back, there weren't many people around; everyone had left work an hour early.
However, when she saw someone passing by, Shen Qiaoyue immediately let go of Lu Chen.
With more people coming and going, Shen Qiaoyue simply took Lu Chen's hand, since they were husband and wife anyway.
Halfway there, Shen Qiaoyue complained of being tired, so Lu Chen drove her back.
After arriving home, Lu Chen went to the kitchen to cook as usual.
Shen Qiaoyue put down her things and went to help.
Lu Chen started a fire, and Chen Qiaoyue washed the vegetables. The two of them worked together, and their life was quite warm and cozy.
"Has Lu He called back since he arrived in Beijing?" Shen Qiao remembered that Lu He had been gone for three days and should be in Beijing by now.
"Yes, that's good. They said the academic conference has been postponed and they need to stay a few more days, so Aunt Wen took them to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to study." Lu Chen started the fire, patted the dust off his hands, washed his hands, and prepared to chop vegetables.
"That's good."
Lu He's life has changed; it's good to see the outside world.
"The Wen family is here. They're going to the military base to see their superior today," Lu Chen told Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue was not surprised at all when she heard that the Wen family had come.
"What should we do about Uncle Liu?"
Lu Chen's expression was not good. In Shen Qiaoyue's opinion, the Wen family was so difficult to deal with that they were probably quite troublesome.
"The Wen family is even more unreasonable than Wen Ruoyan. No wonder they raised such a daughter!" Lu Chen remarked accurately.
Then he told Shen Qiaoyue about the result of Liu Yashi's handling of the matter.
The old lady of the Wen family directly used moral blackmail against her son-in-law, Liu Yashi.
Liu Yashi retorted without hesitation, saying that Wen Ruoyan had broken the law. At first, the Wen family did not believe it, but after they produced evidence, they strongly demanded that Liu Yashi use his connections to get her out.
Liu Yashi warned the Wen family that if they caused trouble again, he would be discharged from the army, the jobs he had helped the Wen couple find would be taken back, and Wen Ru would no longer have any dealings with them, thus cutting off the Wen family's livelihood.
The Wen family began to criticize Liu Yashi for being heartless and Wen Ru for abandoning her parents, and they wanted to report Liu Yashi.
Liu Yashi directly produced four letters of complaint: two accusing Wen's parents of getting their jobs through back channels, one accusing Liu Yashi of himself, and the last one accusing Wen Ru.
Let's all go to the fields and work hard.
The Wen family members immediately fell silent.
The Wen couple worked in a factory, and their combined wages were nearly ninety yuan, which was a relatively good standard of living.
If they lose their jobs because of being reported, they really won't be able to survive.
In the past, Wenru would send money to the Wen family every month. She would give 80 yuan of her monthly salary to her elderly mother.
Now that things have fallen apart, Liu Yashi has made a harsh statement: Wen Ru will only receive ten yuan a month from now on, and not a single penny more.
Back then, Liu Yashi asked someone to help them find jobs with decent incomes, and he even forced Wen Ru to send them money. The family lived a very comfortable life using Wen Ru's money.
Now they're going to ruin their business together.
The Wen family left in a dejected manner.
If they continued to make trouble, they wouldn't gain anything. Liu Yashi's attitude was very firm: if they were to die, they would die together. He would not allow his wife and children to continue to be exploited by the Wen family.
Shen Qiaoyue listened, knowing that although the matter had come to an end, the Wen family would certainly not let it go.
Lu Chen then explained to Shen Qiaoyue that Liu Yashi had told the Wen family that if they continued to cause trouble, they should apply to the organization for both families to go to the countryside to work together, and neither of them would be afraid of the other.
The Wen family is used to a good life and is unwilling to endure hardship.
This matter can be considered to have come to an end.
After dinner, Shen Qiaoyue was digesting her food in the courtyard.
Everyone goes to bed early at night.
At this time of day, you can still hear the voices of some of the women in the courtyard.
The sound of a mother scolding her child for not doing homework, followed by the child bursting into tears.
Although you can't attend high school or university, you can still attend primary and junior high school.
The children in the residential compound are mostly quite young, going from kindergarten to primary school, and then to junior high school.
After Lu Chen finished his work, he said to Chen Qiaoyue, "Xu Qianli just came by and said he wants to treat everyone to dinner tomorrow and wants to use our kitchen."
"He invited everyone to dinner. His marriage application with Dr. Liu hasn't been approved yet, so why is it so fast?" Shen Qiaoyue asked.
Lu Chen explained meaningfully, "Your second uncle came back today. Xu Qianli took the application to him, and he approved it this morning. He went to the city to register this afternoon."
Shen Qiaoyue was utterly shocked!
"That's faster than us!" I couldn't help but tease.
“Xu Qianli is fearless. He even dared to talk back to your second uncle. Last night, after getting the leader to sign the documents, he called your second uncle and asked if he could come to the military region today. If not, he would go to your second uncle and say that this is a major life event, and if he misses out on his wife, she will belong to someone else.” Lu Chen pulled Shen Qiaoyue back to the living room and explained to her as he did so.
