"Reinstated?" Jiang Shufen looked shocked. She became anxious and said, "We're still labeled as 'sent down to the countryside' and have to undergo political vetting. If our whole family fails to pass the review, then you won't even be able to get your marriage application approved."
"Didn't the Shanghai Municipal Committee reply to us a while ago? They said they would conduct a thorough investigation, and we should have news soon," Lin Yuxi replied nonchalantly.
Since she failed the political review, it just means she and Gu Chen are not meant to be, and she can just break off the engagement then.
Men are everywhere.
"That's true."
"If that doesn't work, we can publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties; that would be much easier."
Jiang Shufen also breathed a sigh of relief, her mood much more relaxed. "When the marriage application is approved, you two will be able to settle down. This house is still not enough, so we can get an extra room for you two to live in comfortably."
"We'll see when the time comes," Lin Yuxi said dismissively.
We don't even know if we'll pass the political review yet, which means things are still very uncertain. Whether it will actually happen is another matter entirely, so it's too early to talk about the room now.
“That won’t do. Let’s discuss it when your grandpa and the others come back. After all, we’ve taken over his house, so we can’t leave you two without a single room,” Jiang Shufen arranged.
When the two elderly people and Lin Weidong and the others returned, they naturally had no objections.
After returning home, Xu Yichang immediately called his teacher and explained Lin Yuxi's importance to Long Province. He said that Lin Yuxi would be recruited as a special technical personnel and that no matter what, Lin Yuxi and her family would be protected.
Little did they know that, besides Xu Yichang's teacher, several other groups were investigating the Lin Yuxi family's situation during their exile.
Five or six days had passed since Gu Chen received the letter, but little did they know that a political review of Lin Yuxi's family had already begun. They discovered numerous suspicious points and directly called the Shanghai Liaison Committee to inquire about the basic situation.
at night.
Wang Xiulan pulled the curtains open a crack, turned around and pointed at Dong Dafang's head with a look of exasperation, "I've already told you, there's something wrong with their family, they're affecting our family's feng shui. This good fortune should be yours, but you still won't listen."
“If they hadn’t disturbed their house, you definitely wouldn’t have lost your job. Listen to your mother, go out and pull up those bamboo poles in their yard, and use a pole to shave off two tiles from their roof…”
"mom!"
Dong Dafang frowned as he listened to her increasingly outrageous words. "I've already told you not to be so particular about these things. Losing my job is my own problem, and I can't blame anyone else. Besides, Xiuxiu is pregnant now, so you should change your own lifestyle. Don't keep these excrement and urine for half a month before throwing them away, or they'll smell."
"Dong Dafang! Have you forgotten your mother after marrying a wife? I raised you with my own hands and feet, and now I'm sending you to pull out the bamboo poles in her yard for whom?" Wang Xiulan cried out, constantly complaining about her daughter-in-law.
"Stop being unreasonable!"
The houses next door started smashing things, making a clanging sound.
Lin Yuxi had just gotten into bed when she seemed to hear some sound, but it wasn't quite clear.
"It feels like the neighbors next door are having a fight," Jiang Shufen muttered as she lay in bed.
Grandma Lin turned over and listened carefully. "Who cares? He was no good either, throwing dirty water into our yard before."
The commotion at Wang Xiulan's house was particularly loud.
In the dead of night, many households heard it.
The next day, just as dawn broke, I heard people gossiping, especially Zhang Shufang, that loudmouth. She had been targeting Lin Yuxi a while ago, but now it seems she's changed her target.
“Last night, Wang Xiulan and her son Dong Dafang had a really big fight. I heard pots and pans being smashed on the ground.”
Someone asked, "Why is she making such a fuss? Her son is back, why is she still arguing?"
