In Chaotian, apart from Yang Fenglin's somewhat lax discipline in the army, no other violations by Yang Changping were found.
He had to keep many things from his superiors. Not to mention, he received tens of thousands of yuan a year just from gifts.
A while ago, in order to take down Yang Changping's men, he exposed a lot of his own connections. Now, Yang Changping's counterattack is perfectly targeted.
Qi Zhong was in no mood to help Qi Yu; he couldn't even take care of himself.
Yang Changping has been getting off work early and coming home late these past few days, putting in a lot of effort for his family.
Bai Jiaojiao watched helplessly as the Qi family's grand building crumbled, realizing that everyone reaps what they sow.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and summer vacation is just around the corner. Shen Heng is now relying on Wang Fushun to run some channels in the south to sell his goods, but he now feels that the goods Wang Fushun brings are not fashionable enough, and he plans to go to the south himself as soon as he finishes his exams.
Wang Fushun was increasingly impressed with Shen Heng. In the past, they had a good relationship because Wang Fushun felt that although Shen Heng had a bad temper, he was righteous and he never suffered a loss when associating with him.
But now, after making several trips to the south, he genuinely admires Shen Heng and wants to stick with him and work for him from now on.
Wang Fushun has now brought his mother to Yancheng as well. Originally, his mother did not want to come, but his older brother and three older sisters were really unreliable and all urged him to bring his mother to Yancheng. He thought he was not comfortable with that, so he took his mother with him.
They didn't plan to go back. Shen Heng helped Wang Fushun register his household and even rented him a house. The two families lived not far apart.
Shen Heng is leaving tomorrow, so Bai Jiaojiao cooked a nice meal and asked him to invite Wang Fushun over for dinner as well.
Knowing that Bai Jiaojiao was a good cook, Wang Fushun told his mother and happily came over.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw a few pieces of pork floss cakes on a small plate on the living room table and said with a smile, "I haven't seen these for a while. Before, when I sold these, I was reluctant to eat them myself."
Wang Fushun was like a miser; he lived very frugally.
"Try it and see if my cooking skills have improved."
After Bai Jiaojiao finished speaking, Wang Fushun reached out and took a piece: "Sister-in-law, your skills have reached their limit. If you improve any further, wouldn't that be amazing?"
"You're really good with words," Bai Jiaojiao said with a smile. Wang Fushun wasn't very composed, but he certainly knew how to coax people with his words.
It's a pity he's still single in his twenties. Shen Heng said he hasn't figured things out at all.
After Shen Heng changed Shen Shi's diaper, he held Shen Shi in his arms. Wang Fushun stuffed a meat floss cake into his mouth and said, "Let me hold you."
Shen Heng dodged: "If you want to give birth to your own child, don't hurt my son."
"What kind of precious little thing is that? Do you think I'd break it by holding it?" Wang Fushun thought to himself. If it weren't for his brother Heng's child, he wouldn't even bother to hold him. His brother Heng really didn't realize how much face this was.
Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng usually have three hot dishes and a small dish of cold dishes for their meals. Today, to entertain guests, they prepared two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and also made a corn and pork rib soup.
Wang Fushun's mother was also frugal, and claimed that unless Wang Fushun got married, the family would have to save every penny to support him. She saw that her son was becoming more and more successful and had even gotten close to Shen Heng. She thought that if she introduced him to the daughter of the provincial governor in the future, he would have to pay a huge dowry.
In addition, grains, meat, and vegetables are expensive in Yancheng, so she used this as an excuse. Her family usually couldn't afford to eat a lot of meat and vegetables, so Wang Fushun's visit here was a way to improve their lives.
Bai Jiaojiao made a braised pork rib dish and a tomato beef brisket dish. Wang Fushun was dumbfounded when he saw the tomato beef brisket dish. He had never eaten this kind of thing before.
"Putting persimmons and beef together? You're really good at researching."
Shen Heng said, "This is nothing. In my family, tomatoes go with everything. Your sister-in-law has even made tomato dumplings before."
"ah?"
"It's delicious, you'll know once you try it." Seeing Wang Fushun's reaction, Bai Jiaojiao recalled how Shen Heng had thought she was going to poison him when she made tomato and egg dumplings.
Looking at the red beef soup, Wang Fushun thought he had to try it. He hadn't had beef in ages, and his mother was reluctant to buy it for him.
"I must try it."
Wang Fushun picked up his chopsticks, and after finishing the meal, he was so engrossed in the delicious food that he couldn't speak.
"Mom, Mom, my dear mother."
"You can scoop some soup later; it goes well with rice," Shen Heng said from the side.
Bai Jiaojiao's tomato and beef brisket soup was thick and the meat was tender. He wasn't picky about food, but he couldn't resist the good fortune in his palate.
"No way, why would I drink soup when there's meat?"
After Wang Fushun finished speaking, Bai Jiaojiao was amused by him: "Eat more meat, eat more meat, soup won't fill you up."
"My sister-in-law is the most honest one."
Wang Fushun and Shen Heng didn't stand on ceremony and began to eat heartily.
“Sister-in-law, Heng-ge should have told you that we’re going to be gone for a while this time. If you have some free time, could you please visit my mother? She’s getting old now, and there are some things she can’t reach, and she can’t do many things. She’s new here and doesn’t know anyone well, so she doesn’t like people coming to our house.”
"Don't worry about this little thing. Our two families don't live far apart. I'll just stop by on my way to pick up my child from my godmother's house."
"Oh, that's too kind of you. We'll probably be gone for about two weeks. You can just visit us every week."
Wang Fushun is the youngest son in his family. His mother is now over sixty years old. She ruined her health when she was young, so she is now plagued with illnesses. This is why Wang Fushun is reluctant to leave his mother in the village. He is afraid that his brother will take his money but will not be willing to use it to treat his mother's illness.
"It won't interfere with anything. You and Heng are busy outside, so it's good if I can help you out a little. Besides, the old lady has been good to me, so it's only right that I go and see her."
When Wang Fushun's mother came, she even slaughtered her own old hen and brought it with her, saying that her own hen was very juicy and that she was afraid she couldn't buy such a good one in Yancheng.
Wang Fushun was deeply moved: "Sister-in-law, I'll buy you something nice when I get back."
Shen Heng kicked him under the table: "What are you? Why would you buy this?"
I'm so annoyed by those stinky bachelors.
