Chapter 96 Becoming Enemies (2/2)



Zhou Wenwen's heart jumped.

He Xiaoman glanced at her, then went into the kitchen with her cane.

Little did Zhou Wenwen know, she didn't care whose child was in her belly; someone else's was better.

The closer a child is to whoever raises them.

Lu Family

Lu Rong and his family sat in the living room waiting for Qiao Wanyue.

Upon seeing her return home, Lu Rong instructed her to wash her face and hands before starting to serve the meal.

Qiao Wanyue washed her face with clean water. There was a faint black stain in the basin. She changed the water and washed her face again. After drying her hands, she was about to go in to eat.

"Fake cleanliness".

Mocking voices came from behind.

Yang Lin squatted in the corner, his weathered eyes staring at him like a little devil.

In the corner stood a simple, newly built brick stove, with a pot and a bowl.

Qiao Wanyue was too lazy to argue with him, so she rolled her eyes and went inside.

Yang Lin was so angry that he started throwing things around and cursing loudly.

"Wanyue, ignore him."

Yang Lin had been cursing for a long time, and the story of Gou Dan and the Yang family had already spread throughout the brigade.

Zhong Qingqing came back crying, and Yang Lin felt heartbroken.

But the agreement had already been signed, and when Yang Lin tried to enter, he was blocked by Old Lady Yang.

Yang Lin went berserk as soon as he returned, throwing things around in the yard.

Qiao Wanyue rubbed her forehead. "Big brother, you can ask the team another day if we can buy a plot of land for building a house."

Brother Lu, are you moving out?

Lu Rong kicked his mentally challenged son. "I'll have my eldest son ask him another day and ask him to pay for a thatched hut for him."

Qiao Wanyue explained, "His constant fussing is not good for Xiaohui's growth."

Brother Lu understood.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It was his father who moved out, not his sister-in-law.

"Okay, I'll go to the brigade leader's house after I finish eating and ask around, and also find someone to build a house for me."

"I have money if you don't have enough."

Qiao Wanyue really didn't want to see Yang Lin anymore.

"It's alright, building a thatched hut won't cost much."

With a few words exchanged, the group quickly decided on Yang Lin's fate.

No one tried to persuade Yang Lin to stay.

Even Lu Hui's eyes lit up.

Qiao Wanyue couldn't help but sigh.

How did he get to this point?

After dinner, Qiao Wanyue returned to her room.

She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. News of Lu Yunzhou kept coming out but she couldn't get any. There was also the latest newspaper that she had asked her sister-in-law to get from the team headquarters on the table. She picked up the newspaper and glanced at it.

Apart from some columns on major national events, Lu Yunzhou was not seen.

Qiao Wanyue felt increasingly panicked.

Even at night, he dreamt of Lu Yunzhou, covered in blood and wearing a military uniform.

She was woken up by fright.

When she woke up, her heart was pounding, and her forehead was covered in a fine sweat. After wiping the sweat off hastily, she got up, ate some food, and went to the team headquarters.

The process of collecting and discarding dried vegetables continues.

The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, and many households have already dried their freshest vegetables, which still have a faint fragrance.

In less than three days, they had already harvested seven or eight hundred catties.

The delivery date is fast approaching, and everyone is beaming with joy.

That evening, Huang Zhenwei, accompanied by several police officers wearing red badges, arrived at the team headquarters.

Qiao Wanyue was tidying up dried vegetables with Yang Miaomiao.

"Uncle Huang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Huang Zhenwei said expressionlessly, "Someone reported that you formed cliques for personal gain and engaged in illegal business."
