After receiving the news, Xu Xiangyang added ten more catties of flour to their diet.
If you're efficient, you should give more of the food, since it's being shared among several people.
He followed the clues to a house and then wandered around the area.
To his surprise, he saw a familiar face.
Shen Fangjun.
I hadn't seen her since I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and now when I see her again, she's heavily pregnant.
It seems that Cao Yajun does indeed live here, otherwise why would she be here?
Xu Xiangyang looked around for a while, confirmed that this was the place, and then left.
Cao Yajun is a cunning fellow; it's best to be careful and avoid causing trouble.
There are too many people here during the day, and it's too conspicuous. Mainly, it's because he's so handsome that even in disguise, he attracts attention.
Xu Xiangyang sighed helplessly. Sometimes being too handsome can be a burden!
We cannot become invisible...
He randomly found a hotel to stay in, closed the windows and other doors, and then entered the space.
Because his current rank is high enough, he lives in a large single room.
So you don't have to worry about people knocking on the door; usually no one will come.
The second floor is for the leaders to live in, so that they won't be disturbed while working or resting.
It wasn't until 7:30 PM that Xu Xiangyang finished ordering the goods through the space and then came out.
There's a huge supply on the black market right now, sometimes even exceeding demand. Despite strict controls, the demand remains.
Some people, and others even came from outside the city, wanted to buy these things.
If we hadn't already made arrangements, the black market would probably have been shut down long ago.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time, then changed his clothes and disguised himself.
Luckily, I have enough clothes, so I don't usually wear the same thing during the day or night. Otherwise, I would still be easily noticed.
Furthermore, his physique also needs to be modified, since Cao Yajun knows him. If he is recognized, wouldn't that alert the enemy?
With everything prepared, he arrived at the gate of the house where he had discovered Shen Fangjun during the day.
Perhaps because of the time of day, there was no one on the road, and there was only one streetlight every long distance, so it was not easy to spot him at this time.
The lights were on in the yard, visible from the outside.
After glancing at the courtyard wall, Xu Xiangyang decided to use the little mouse to enter the courtyard through the drain.
After all, this is a residential area; who knows if anyone has seen him somewhere?
He turned and went into the alley, found a secluded spot, and then used the little mouse to enter the yard through the drain.
This courtyard is quite large, but there are only two houses, each about 80 square meters.
The lights were on in one of the houses, and if you got close, you could hear arguing.
Xu Xiangyang reached under the window, which was open, so he could clearly hear what the people inside were saying.
"I said no, and that's final!" a female voice said, but it wasn't Shen Fangjun's voice.
Inside the room was a woman in her forties with short hair. She looked very quiet, but the emotions on her face made her seem unapproachable.
Cao Yajun sat silently on a chair to the side, a helpless expression on his face.
Shen Fangjun, heavily pregnant, stood to the side, her brows furrowed, clearly trying to control her emotions and keep herself from losing control.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mom, we're both adults, why can't we live together?"
She couldn't understand this at all!
After Cao Yajun's mother, Tang Peiyun, arrived, she stopped letting them sleep in the same room.
If that's all there is to it, then so be it. After all, she's pregnant, and it doesn't matter if the two of them don't sleep together.
However, Tang Peiyun insisted on sharing a room with them, even though there were other available houses nearby.
And so, she lived in the small house, while Tang Peiyun lived in the single bed in the living room.
Isn't it obvious they're just watching her?
Now she says she's feeling heavier and wants to share a room with Cao Yajun so that she can have someone to look after her if she goes into labor in the middle of the night.
Tang Peiyun looked at her with obvious disdain. "Wasn't I in the living room? Did you think I was going to fall asleep like a log?"
She never liked this girl; she wanted to be with her son no matter what kind of person he was.
Does she deserve it?
Shen Fangjun was so angry that she didn't say anything. At first, she was with Cao Yajun and said that her mother had passed away. Then, at the end of last year, a living person suddenly appeared, which almost scared her to death.
Of course, having a mother-in-law isn't bad either; she can help take care of the children and lend a hand with daily life.
What a pity.
Tang Peiyun doesn't lift a finger to do any work, yet she acts like a queen, serving him all day long.
Shen Fangjun has been pregnant for so long, and she hasn't had a single day of proper rest.
Not only did Cao Yajun not help, but every time his mother-in-law found fault, he would look helpless and refuse to help anyone.
"I can't talk to you!" she said angrily, turning around and going back into her room.
Cao Yajun sighed and said to Tang Peiyun, "Mom, Fangjun is pregnant and it's not easy for her, so please don't be angry."
He actually wanted to help Shen Fangjun, but when he thought of the grievances his mother had suffered over the years, he couldn't bear to.
When he came back, he looked like a beggar. But he wasn't made of stone; his heart was naturally soft.
When Tang Peiyun heard that her son was protecting the little girl, she was furious.
"She had it tough? Did I have it tough? Didn't I carry you for ten months and give birth to you? And I suffered so much..."
As she spoke, she began wiping away tears again.
Cao Yajun looked helpless; this was just a common occurrence, and nothing he said was right.
Hearing this from outside, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but feel puzzled. Wasn't Cao Yajun's mother deceased?
It suddenly reappeared? That's really spooky.
But this person really knows how to torment people. You can tell from Shen Fangjun's expression that she must have been bullied a lot.
But that's their business, it has nothing to do with him.
After waiting for a long time, Cao Yajun finally managed to calm the person down inside the house and then came out.
Why isn't this guy trying to comfort his wife?
Shen Fangjun is his wife no matter what, yet he didn't even ask her a single question.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Xu Xiangyang really felt that this person was no good. He used to be quite normal, but he never expected him to be a mama's boy.
He watched Cao Yajun smoking, looking worried, and couldn't help but think he deserved it!
This kind of person should stay single for life and never get married.
Otherwise, wait until his mother passes away before marrying him, so as not to delay anyone's life.
After finishing his cigarette, Cao Yajun went back to get a coat and then went out.
Xu Xiangyang thought about it and decided to go after him.
Staying here would only mean watching Tang Peiyun bully others, and he wouldn't step in to help. It was best to take care of his own business.
Following Cao Yajun, the two went one after the other to a courtyard in the alley ahead.
Jiang Wu was holding a plate of peanuts, ready to have a drink, when he unexpectedly arrived.
"Xiaojun, what's wrong? Did your wife and your mother fight again?" He seemed to have known about this for a while.
Because this happens frequently, he's become used to it.
After all, it's their private life, and although he has a good relationship with Cao Yajun, there are some things he can't advise on.
