Sister-in-law Wang looked at her with disdain, "Even if something really happened, it's not your place to notify us. Everyone has seen how Comrade Shuying has always acted. If the higher-ups have any complaints, the organization will naturally make a decision. But you never come here unless you have something to say. Yesterday you were jealous of someone else's refrigerator, and today you come here to gossip. Why can't you stand to see others doing well?"
Sister-in-law Wang is usually close to Shuying and likes her two children, so she never pays attention to what others say.
Li Chunyan glared at her. "I've never seen anyone like you before. I was just trying to be helpful. Since you don't appreciate my kindness, then I'll pretend I never said anything. If it weren't for the fact that we've been neighbors for so many years, I wouldn't even bother arguing with you."
As she spoke, she tossed away the sunflower seed shells in her hand, her tone becoming even more forceful, "But don't blame me for not telling you in advance what position their man holds now, and what position your man holds? If you get implicated because you're close to them, you'll have to bear the consequences yourselves."
Anyone with a brain would know to avoid suspicion. So many people live in this compound, and even putting aside personal grudges, things are tense right now. Keeping your distance from Shu Ying is the best decision.
Just then, someone came out to buy groceries. Unable to bear the noise any longer, Liu Xiulan opened the gate to her yard and rolled her eyes thoroughly.
"Who doesn't know what you're up to? You even have the nerve to say it's for our own good. If you really had such good intentions, you should be the one to take down the Bodhisattva from the Guanyin Temple and become her. I think you're just gloating. Besides, we all saw so many leaders go to the Xie family yesterday. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is none of your business. Why do you seem so eager? You don't usually seem to care about anyone that much."
Everyone exchanged a few words, and although most of them hoped that Shu Ying would be alright, Li Chunyan's words were so detailed and convincing that Zhao Lijuan also joined in the fun at that moment.
"Forget it, forget it. These people have long lost their own thoughts. They are usually bought off by small favors from others, and when it really matters, they are willing to be their lackeys. You have to say that capitalists are really resourceful. They don't have to exert any effort to find a group of people who are completely devoted to them."
She twisted her body, her smile fading slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the Xie family.
"You two should just pray for your own good fortune. I think it won't be long before the organization's criticism comes down. Shu Ying's high-profile style in the compound means that if she still can't escape being sent down to the countryside, your deep friendship probably won't last long either."
Even though Xie Zhiyan's position is not low, he can't defy the decisions made by the organization, not to mention that a soldier's duty is to obey military orders.
Even if Shu Ying has extraordinary abilities, she can't escape this time.
The thought of the annoying person disappearing soon made Zhao Lijuan's smile almost stiff.
Liu Xiulan felt uneasy. Ever since she saw so many people leaving Shu Ying's house yesterday, she had been feeling uneasy. Then she turned around and saw Zhang Hongxia.
Without saying a word, the two of them tacitly thought of the same thing.
Zhang Hongxia grasped Liu Xiulan's hand and said, "You know, what those two are saying sounds so convincing. Could it be that they've really gotten some information? Comrade Shuying has always treated us well. If she's really implicated because of those unfounded accusations, it would be such a shame. Besides, she has two children to take care of. Why don't we try to find out more and at least put in a good word for her with the organization?"
They weren't so worried that Shu Ying would implicate them; what they were more afraid of was how difficult Shu Ying's life would be if what Li Chunyan said was true.
Although the time they spent together wasn't long, they had developed a deep friendship. They even developed feelings for their pet. Now that these things are being spread everywhere, they can't help but start to worry.
Zhao Lijuan felt a little smug. "I advise you not to waste your time. After all, we can't make decisions about the organization. The leaders above are all very shrewd. So I say, Heaven is watching what people do. You should mind your own business. Who knows when things might change?"
When two people speak with such conviction, even those who don't believe them have to think twice.
The refrigerator in Shu Ying's family had just been allocated, and with Xie Zhiyan protecting her, plus the work-related reasons of Xie Wenyuan and his wife, even if there was a punishment, it shouldn't be too severe.
As the group was talking, they saw Du Zhiwei walking towards her home. Tian Fang, who happened to be blocking the alley entrance, saw her, put down the vegetables she was carrying, and casually asked her a question.
"Zhiwei, I heard that Comrade Shuying was away for a long time the day before yesterday, and many leaders came to her home yesterday, including two from your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Do you know the specifics of this situation?"
Why did this suddenly become related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Currently, the only people they can see are Du Zhiwei and Shu Ying. However, it's not appropriate to go directly to ask them about something they're not sure about. Otherwise, even if it's well-intentioned, if the result isn't what they hoped for, it could be seen as them laughing at them.
Du Zhiwei was already holding back a lot of anger. Although she was shocked by Shu Ying's abilities, the thought that there were actually people in this world who could achieve abilities that she could only dream of without lifting a finger made Du Zhiwei's face darken, and her expression became so unpleasant that she didn't even want to mention it.
"Why don't you ask her about her affairs? How would I know anything about other people's business?"
Although Du Zhiwei did not give a clear answer, her dark face and unfriendly tone made people wonder.
Tian Fang's expression also turned ugly for a moment, and she looked at Liu Xiulan at the same time.
"How could we not know that two people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have come? Zhiwei usually seems very kind, so why does she look so strange today?"
She muttered to herself, "Could it really be that something happened to Comrade Shuying? But there's never been any leaks before, what should we do?"
Liu Xiulan's heart was also in her throat.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Comrade Shuying always thinks of us first when there are good things. No matter what, we have to try our luck with the leaders. Even if we can't do anything, we should at least do our part."
