After leaving the room, Meng Fanyi put his arm around Han Yixian's shoulder and chuckled, "Well done, Yixian, you've married such a beautiful young wife. Your wife must be quite a bit younger than you, you're like an old cow eating young grass."
Han Yi glared at Meng Fanyi and said, "I remember your sister-in-law is seven years younger than you, right? How dare you say that to me?"
Meng Fanyi asked, "How much younger is your sister-in-law than you? She looks very young to me."
Han Yixian said vaguely, "Not much smaller."
Upon hearing this, Meng Fanyi scoffed and said, "Then it must be more than seven years old, otherwise why don't you say so? I'm absolutely right that you're an old cow eating young grass."
He Yuhan took two bottles of Moutai liquor, closed the door, and went to the entrance to find Han Yixian and the others.
The state-run hotel wasn't far from the guesthouse, and the three of them walked there without driving.
It was evening, still early, and not many people were eating at the state-run restaurant. Surprisingly, the restaurant had private rooms, so the three of us booked one.
Han Yi first ordered a braised pork, a stir-fried shrimp, a stir-fried squid, a Mapo tofu, two cold dishes, and a staple food.
Meng Fanyi looked at the amount of food Han Yixian had ordered and said, "That's enough. There are only three of us, we can't eat that much."
When Meng Fanyi saw He Yuhan take out two bottles of Moutai from the cloth bag, his eyes lit up. He picked up one of the bottles and said happily, "Wow, we can actually drink Moutai today? Oh my, this is a special supply. My old man has two bottles that he keeps to himself and never lets us touch them. It's just that this kind of liquor is so hard to get these days. I'm so lucky to have you here today, Yixian."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "There are two bottles here, you can drink your fill today."
Meng Fanyi was so happy that he quickly poured a glass for himself and Han Yixian.
The dishes were served quickly, and the two of them toasted each other before starting to eat. They chatted as they ate, first reminiscing about their time together, and then sharing their recent lives.
Meng Fanyi said, "When I heard that you were injured and became disabled, I went to Kyoto to see you. However, you were no longer in Kyoto when I arrived, and I didn't know where you had gone before you came back. I was relieved when you wrote to say that you had recovered."
"Your family has changed so much in the last two years! Your second uncle's family was truly awful. Thankfully, everything's been resolved now, and at least your family can live a much more stable life."
Han Yixian and Meng Fanyi had been corresponding, so Meng Fanyi knew quite a bit about the Han family. He was also quite emotional; large families were always rife with troubles, and brothers fighting over inheritance was a common occurrence, both in the past and in the future.
The Han family is such a large and powerful family, it's no wonder they attract unwanted attention. My brother has also suffered a lot because of this, but fortunately he met such a wonderful girl as He Yuhan, and his better days are yet to come.
He Yuhan didn't say anything, but just ate her meal and listened to the two drinking and chatting.
As Han Yixian and Meng Fanyi chatted, the conversation turned to Liu Weiguo.
Meng Fanyi said angrily, "Someone dares to lay a hand on something that was earned with their life. They must be tired of living. I hate people like this the most. This time, we must teach them a lesson."
Han Yixian said, "The person who replaced Wei Guo at work is the brother-in-law of the deputy director of the county cotton mill. Does the director of this cotton mill have some powerful backer? Otherwise, how could he dare to so blatantly steal Wei Guo's job?"
Meng Fanyi snorted and said, "I called and asked around. The deputy director of the cotton mill is named Qu Hongbin. He has a cousin who is in charge of supply and marketing in the county. These days, food is the most important thing, and this position is something many people want to climb up to."
Han Yixian nodded and said, "So that means Qu Hongbin doesn't have much of a powerful backer. Let's take him and his backer down. Someone who can't distinguish right from wrong isn't a good person."
Wei Guo had just escaped death; if they dared to lay a hand on him, we'd chop off their hands.
Meng Fanyi was furious after hearing Han Yixian's description of Liu Weiguo's situation this morning. Even without Han Yixian's connection, he would have intervened. To be honest, he and Liu Weiguo used to be in the same system, so of course he had to lend a hand now that Liu was in trouble.
Meng Fanyi said, "I've already sent people to collect dirt on those two people. As long as they've done anything wrong, it won't be a problem to get it down."
Han Yixian nodded and said, "Even if we take these two down, some of their connections will still exist. In order to avoid leaving any hidden dangers for Weiguo, we should get rid of his previous job and arrange another job for him. That way, no one will know that this matter is related to him, and he will not be retaliated against afterward."
Meng Fanyi nodded and said, "You've thought this through very well. Wei Guo can drive, so I think we should assign him to the transport team. It's a good job; he can travel to other places frequently and bring back some things from time to time, which will make things a little easier for his family."
Han Yixian was delighted to hear this, and said, "We'll do as you say."
Han Yixian knew, of course, that being a driver for the transport team was a good job, which would make things easier for the Liu family.
After discussing Liu Weiguo's affairs, the two began to quietly talk about the current situation, and before they knew it, they had finished more than a bottle of wine.
Both of them were heavy drinkers, but because they had a lot of things to do the next day, they didn't dare to get drunk, so they didn't finish the second bottle and saved it for tomorrow.
After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them returned to the guesthouse to rest.
After returning to her room and closing the door, He Yuhan led Han Yi into the space first; they needed to see their son.
After feeding her son, He Yuhan asked, "Is this Brother Meng from the local area?"
Han Yixian nodded and said, "Their family lives in the city, and many of their family members hold high positions. With him handling Wei Guo's matter, it will be very simple. It won't take more than two days to resolve."
He Yuhan said, "That's good. We'll prepare some gifts for him later."
Han Yixian said, "Just bring back two bottles of Moutai for his father. As for the rest, we'll send some more things over when we get back."
"We're out here, after all; it's not good to take out too much stuff."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After resting for a night, Han Yi first told He Yuhan to rest at the guesthouse, and then he and Meng Fanyi went out to run errands.
With Meng Fanyi, a local, around, He Yuhan didn't have to worry anymore; she would spend more time with her son online.
Han Yixian and Meng Fanyi resolved the matter in two days.
Although the Meng family is based in the city, they also have many connections in the county, but these connections are much stronger than those of the people they are dealing with, not to mention that they are eliminating a menace.
The deputy director of the cotton mill, his cousin, and his brother-in-law who had taken Liu Weiguo's place were all dismissed and lost their jobs. This incident caused quite a stir in the county, and no one knew who Qu Hongbin's family had offended.
