Li Qiuxiang and Wang Hong had no choice but to close their shop and live a quiet life. After all, the crackdown had only just begun, and Qi Zhifang had gotten herself caught in the crossfire. It wasn't a big deal, but it was still incredibly embarrassing. The chubby guy, on the other hand, wasn't affected much, not because he was particularly powerful, but because he had a powerful mother—who would dare mess with Li Qiuxiang?
Qi Zhifang's house was no longer available for her to live in, and all her belongings were packed up and thrown into the detention center. So Wang Fang had nowhere to go and no one to mess with. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't know what got into her head that day, but she had the audacity to go and cause trouble for Li Qiuxiang!
It just so happened that Wang Hong was cooking at home alone, and Li Qiuxiang hadn't come home from get off work yet. Wang Changjiang went to a banquet with Grandpa Li. "Li Qiuxiang, you went into the bank naked, you shameless thing who begs for money! Come out here and tell me how you cheated my Yunxiang! How much money did you ask for? Everyone, come and listen to this! She took this job from my Yunxiang! After that, she went to my Yunxiang's parents' house and asked for two thousand yuan and three rooms. Even in the old society, people didn't sell girls as black-hearted as you!"
Wang Hong, her face dark with anger, came out with a spatula and looked at Wang Fang as if she were trash. "Are you sick?! You're like a mad dog! You're shameless enough as it is, but you're like a dung beetle, ready to die at the sight of shit! Get out of here right now!"
Wang Fang also lost her temper: "Pah! I'm a dung beetle, what are you? How can you be so shameless, drinking my blood, eating my flesh, and still looking down on me!..."
"What's going on! What's all the noise about!" The eight-person security team arrived! Each one was full of energy. An older woman, upon seeing Wang Fang, curled her lip and said, "That slut's daughter, acting like she's never seen a man before, she'd rather die than leave that crazy woman, she killed her grandmother and her brother!"
"Huh? That troublemaker? He has the nerve to show his face like that without keeping his head in his pants! Shameless!"
"Really, Old Mrs. Qi has been muddle-headed her whole life, unable to judge people properly, and has raised such a few heartless and wicked people. I say we should just arrest them and stop her from spewing nonsense."
Before she could even ask, the security team had dug up all her secrets. Wang Fang screamed angrily, "Nonsense! Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Li Qiuxiang is using her status to ask my in-laws, Zhao Yunxiang's family, for favors!"
Wang Hong coldly said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She's probably been infected by madness from spending too much time with crazy people!"
"Shut the hell up! Who are you arguing with? You shameless bastard! Wang Dong and Wang Hong are such good kids, and you and your mother have dragged them down with you. You're so shameless!"
"I'm shameless? Don't you have eyes? They're the ones bullying people..." Wang Fang was furious. Li Qiuxiang had actually been listening at the door for a while. She came in with a cold face. As soon as Wang Fang saw Li Qiuxiang return, she angrily came over and said, "Li Qiuxiang, tell me! What did you do? If you can't explain yourself, I'll send you to the police station today!"
Just as the security team was about to start yelling, Li Qiuxiang waved her hand and said, "Grandpas and grandmas, wait a minute, let me ask you a couple of questions first!" Then she looked at Wang Fang and asked, "Where did you hear this rumor?"
Wang Fang, without thinking, blurted out, "I take care of Yunxiang every day, and I get scolded by his family every day because of these things..."
Before she could even finish speaking, Li Qiuxiang turned to the security team behind her and said, "Did you hear that? He takes care of Zhao Yunxiang every day, he stays at his place all the time!"
Wang Fang was furious and said, "What's wrong with me taking care of him! You've done so many wicked things, I have to atone for your sins..."
Li Qiuxiang immediately handcuffed her, and the security team's older women quickly stuffed a rag into her mouth. Li Qiuxiang said, "As far as I know, they've been divorced for a long time, but they're still living in someone else's house. This is a crime of hooliganism. Arrest them and interrogate them first. Contact the Zhao family! Everyone disperse! Disperse!" Then she turned to Wang Hong and said, "What kind of reputation do you have? You're still arguing with an idiot? You never want to get married again? Go back and cook!" Wang Hong said "Oh," and took the spatula back to the kitchen.
Li Qiuxiang had the security team send the person away, and she even smiled as she returned to her room. She wasn't a particularly wicked person in her life, but she hadn't really done many good deeds. Wang Hong's matter was one of the times she had shown kindness, but she didn't expect that she couldn't get rid of it!
Then I thought of Wang Dong again, that short-lived man! Oh well, for his sake, I have to take care of Wang Hong too! That way, he'll be happy over there. He owes her in this life; he'll be with her properly in the next! ...
The miserable life was almost suffocating Zhao Aiguo. He was thinking about picking up Liu Man tomorrow and couldn't wait to go to the train station to wait for him. But that damned Minister Lin arranged for him to go for "training," and it was a closed-door training program! This was like a North Korean New Year, a death sentence! He'd die sooner or later because of Zhao Aiguo.
When he got home, he told Wei Shuqing about it at the dinner table. Wei Shuqing encouraged him, "Xiaoman is so outstanding, you have to work hard too! This is such a great opportunity. If you're worried, I'll take the day off tomorrow to pick up Xiaoman! Since you're not home, she can stay at our place!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao adored the chubby little girl and immediately said, "Aiguo, you can focus on your studies. Leave Xiaoman to us; we'll take care of everything perfectly."
"I don't want to study, I want to see Xiaoman!" Seeing his son's listless expression, Zhao Dahu quickly said, "Let me tell you, your future father-in-law values your future prospects. If you don't work hard, Xiaoman will really be snatched away by someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Aiguo sighed and resignedly went to pack his luggage.
As soon as Liu Man got off the train, she looked around for Zhao Aiguo, but she couldn't see her brother Aiguo. Instead, she looked at Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, and said with a sweet smile, "Happy New Year, Grandpa! Happy New Year, Grandma!"
The elderly couple were overjoyed. "Hey! Hey! It must be cold! Hurry up and go back with Grandpa and Grandma!" Zhao's father took Liu Man's luggage, and Zhao's mother put a woolen coat on Liu Man and said, "Hurry up and go back, it's too cold! Aiguo has been sent out for closed-door study. You go back with Grandpa and Grandma and stay at home for a few days."
