People from the Ministry of Agriculture brought a truckload of wheat seeds directly to the entrance of the courtyard house, specifically asking Zheng Ya to accelerate seed production and solve the problem of wheat yield and food supply for the Chinese people.
The visitor's surname was Lai, given name Dongshun, and he carried a certificate signed by the Minister of Agriculture.
This left Fu Qingyao with no way to send her away. Xu Qi glanced worriedly at Qin Huairu washing cabbage and gagging. Then, remembering something, she leaned close to her mother-in-law's ear and said, "Mom, what's wrong with Qin Huairu?"
"This, this means she's pregnant, could it be..." Fu Qingyao thought of something, and when she saw Xu Qi nodding repeatedly with a frown and a bitter smile, she felt both angry and anxious. That scoundrel of a boy is doing nothing but scoundrels!
Xu Qi wasn't jealous at all, and even covered for someone: "Mom, if it's really what we think, it's nothing."
Who could blame them when Jia Zhangshi came back and started hurling insults all day long? Anyone who heard that would be angry and annoyed!
Furthermore, Jia Dongxu was a criminal who dared to insult the descendants of martyrs, a crime deserving of death.
If you ask me, I'd say the head of the household did a great job…
"Hey, you need to be more careful!"
Regardless of whether that kid did it or not, even if you're not jealous and even support him doing it, you've seen that Qin Huairu is no pushover.
"I'll make trouble for her after she gives birth!" Fu Qingyao had worked in security for most of her life and was very good at recognizing people.
Ever since Qin Huairu sent Bang Geng to ask for meat, and considering Qin Huairu's behavior these past few days, Fu Qingyao has seen through her true nature.
Qin Huairu's laziness is an advantage; she is decisive and efficient in her work. However, she is unwilling to use her brain to do complicated things, revealing a vain and deceitful side.
He excels at housework, is clumsy and greedy when learning to be a tailor, doesn't improve his cooking skills, is good at stealing food, and is as cunning and sly as a monkey.
In Fu Qingyao's eyes, such people are social parasites, beyond saving.
Fu Qingyao originally intended to train Qin Huairu to be a tailor or cook, so that after the seed cultivation base was built, she could cook for the security guards and migrant workers at the base, and make clothes in her spare time, which would be a formal job and help Qin Huairu escape the control of Jia Zhangshi and her son.
Who would have thought that Qin Huairu herself would be so disappointing?
The key issue is Qin Huairu's bad habits, which make Fu Qingyao feel that she is not only shallow, ignorant, and lacking in vision, but also takes advantage of any opportunity to be cunning and scheming, and is definitely a menace.
Qin Huairu is very good at pretending and acting pitiful, crying at the drop of a hat, which makes Fu Qingyao despise Qin Huairu, a woman who is self-degrading and has no ambition.
Xu Qi thought Qin Huairu was young and could make mistakes and reform herself, so she didn't take it seriously: "Mom, a woman as charming as her would have been a famous courtesan in ancient times."
In today's society, he'd be nothing more than a clown who sells smiles and plays the victim. What trouble could he possibly cause the boss or us? He'd probably just bring us some amusement...
"You know, you don't learn your lesson until you suffer a loss. Anyway, listen to your mother, and it's always better to stay away from her." Fu Qingyao couldn't explain it to the young man.
Young people, aren't they all the type who won't turn back until they hit a brick wall?
People often don't turn back even after hitting a wall.
As the saying goes, you have to finish the path you choose, even if you cry and get tired!
Now that Fu Qingyao has come to a complete understanding, she no longer tries to persuade Xu Qi, but only offers warnings and guidance, saying that success still depends on one's own choices and efforts.
Xu Qi didn't refute, and to avoid straining her relationship with her mother-in-law, she changed the subject again: "Mom, have you noticed any changes in Zhang Dongmei these past few days?"
"Hmm, I've been paying some attention. What have you found out about her?" Fu Qingyao had been concerned about Zhang Dongmei ever since she learned that Zheng Ya had gotten her pregnant.
Regardless of the circumstances, Zhang Dongmei is carrying the Zheng family's child, her grandchildren, which cannot be ignored or forgotten.
This is also a habit she developed over decades of projecting her longing for her son Zheng Ya onto Wu Wei.
After all, her lover Zheng Daotong had passed away. Even if she, as his widow, wanted to die for him, she couldn't bear to leave her son and daughter-in-law behind!
Now that she has grandchildren, she's been thinking about enjoying the company of her grandchildren and has naturally started paying attention to them.
Fu Qingyao felt that Zhang Dongmei was several times better than Qin Huairu. Compared to Qin Huairu, Fu Qingyao was much more approachable to Zhang Dongmei and paid more attention to her.
These past few days, Zhang Dongmei has been devising various ways to retaliate against Yi Zhonghai. Ostensibly, it's for the Zheng family to avenge Yi Zhonghai's persecution, but in reality, it's all Zhang Dongmei's own revenge. Taking advantage of her pregnancy, she wants to get back at Yi Zhonghai for the abuse he inflicted on her in the past.
Besides, the Zheng family is her backer, so she has to comply with their abuse of Yi Zhonghai, get used to this daily life, and treat Yi Zhonghai like a beast of burden.
Furthermore, Yi Zhonghai was willing to be driven by her; it was a mutually agreeable arrangement, with both parties willing to give and receive.
Their true feelings were different. Zhang Dongmei thought Yi Zhonghai had done terrible things and deserved to be despicable, while Yi Zhonghai felt that he had a descendant and was willing to work himself to death.
The impression it left on Fu Qingyao was the distortion of human nature; I will not comment on whether it was right or wrong.
If we really want to comment, then we should enact strict national laws that apply to all criminal acts with a one-size-fits-all approach. Over time, people will get used to this and fewer people will risk breaking the law and committing crimes that could lead to their deaths.
However, Fu Qingyao also knew in her heart that there was no perfect solution in the world, and no one could live a perfect life.
Yes, that's a dream life!
Xu Qi quietly revealed the news: "Mom, you may not know that Zhang Dongmei's act of driving Yi Zhonghai around is just a facade."
Yesterday, I discovered that Zhang Dongmei and Widow Liang from the courtyard across the street were discussing seducing Yi Zhonghai into bed, catching him in the act, and then making Yi Zhonghai pay compensation and share the spoils.
If my martial arts hadn't reached the peak of internal strength and I hadn't had such keen hearing, I really wouldn't have heard their plot.
The key question is, what is Zhang Dongmei trying to achieve by doing this?
"Yes, that is indeed a problem."
On the surface, if Zhang Dongmei wants to control Yi Zhonghai, she must control his mistakes and financial power in order to completely control him and make him work for her for the rest of her life.
This is Zhang Dongmei's way of showing goodwill to the Zheng family and planning for a bright future for her child.
It's worth scrutinizing in secret!
After all, Widow Liang is no good person! Fu Qingyao had already sensed something was wrong and felt a sense of unease.
Widow Liang was in her early thirties. After her late husband died from overwork on the machine tool, she took over his fitter's position. With four or five years of work experience, she was still only a first-level fitter, which was already abnormal.
Any ambitious woman, under the pressure of prejudice and harassment from neighbors and coworkers, would at least need to be promoted to a level two fitter to silence the gossip and live a peaceful life.
Otherwise, it would seem out of place.
The key is that Widow Liang is naturally charming and always radiant.
Not wearing new clothes or makeup also reveals her extramarital affair and how she is being pampered by men.
So why did someone like Widow Liang come into contact with Zhang Dongmei in just three short days and conspire to scheme against Yi Zhonghai?
This is abnormal, just like the Ministry of Agriculture bringing in a large truckload of wheat seeds, urgently needing Zheng Ya to accelerate seed production—it's all very strange.
Fu Qingyao, her heart set on protecting the country, warily gave Wu Wei, who was twenty meters away, a meaningful look: It's your turn to get to work!
Wu Wei nodded knowingly, then turned and left. Something was definitely amiss!
