Chapter 114 The Lonely Night



When she returned home, she found that the neighbors were all standing crowded together under the pomegranate tree in the yard.

"Ye Li, come here quickly!" When Aunt Liang saw her coming back, she waved to her to come over.

"Aunt Liang, what...what are you doing?" Ye Li looked around and asked in confusion.

"Huang Xiuxiu has written the letter of guarantee. Didn't you ask her to apologize to you in front of the neighbors in our yard?"

"It's quite fast." Ye Li was a little surprised.

"I have to thank Aunt Liang! This matter was all arranged by her!" Zhao Xingmei said with a smile.

"Oh, you see... you see, this is really embarrassing... I am sorry to bother you all the time!"

"What's the big deal?" Aunt Liang said with a smile, "Isn't this what I should do?"

Ye Li was still wondering, how could the gift he gave be so powerful?

...

...

Zhao Xingmei explained to her: "The street office has appointed you, Aunt Zhao, as the manager of our compound. From now on, Aunt Liang will be in charge of the affairs of this compound!"

Aunt Liang smiled and said: "I will need your support and care in my future work."

"Support! Definitely support! Aunt Liang, you are a warm-hearted person, we are all willing to support you!" Zhao Xingmei expressed her opinion.

"Where is Jiang Xun?" Ye Li found that Jiang Xun had not come back yet, so he turned around and asked Zhao Xingmei.

"He hasn't come back yet. There must be something going on at the factory. He's been tinkering with some motor design improvement these days... Don't worry about him. It's a good thing for a man to be busy with his career."

"Okay." Ye Li agreed with this statement, "Jiang Xun is very knowledgeable about machinery. If he can be allowed to devote himself to the work he likes, he will definitely be able to make a career."

"Here she comes, here she comes."

Not knowing who shouted, Ye Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huang Xiuxiu walking towards him from the backyard in a reserved manner.

"Come on, let's spread out and give the middle space to Huang Xiuxiu."

At Aunt Liang's command, the neighbors dispersed.

Huang Xiuxiu stood in the center, and the others stood in a fan shape in front of her.

"Huang Xiuxiu, have you finished writing your guarantee letter?"

"Well, the letter of apology and the letter of guarantee were written together." Huang Xiuxiu said in a low voice.

"Okay, then you can read it."

Huang Xiuxiu cleared her throat, unfolded the paper and began to read.

She explained the whole process and reflected on her own shamelessness. Finally, she attributed the matter to the child, which was why she made such a foolish move.

Ye Li believed that this was indeed one of the reasons why Huang Xiuxiu did this, but it was not the only reason.

She didn't believe that Huang Xiuxiu had no feelings for Jiang Xun at all.

But none of this matters anymore. The most important thing is that her letter of apology clears Jiang Xun’s name, and that’s enough.

When she finished reading, Aunt Liang turned her head and looked at Ye Li: "Xiao Ye, are you satisfied this time?"

"Satisfied."

"Okay then, let's put this matter behind us! We're still neighbors from now on, so we should get along well with each other."

"Don't worry, as long as she doesn't bother me again, I will definitely not bother her."

"What about you?" Aunt Liang asked Huang Xiuxiu.

"I promise, I'll get along well with her, too."

Aunt Liang slapped her thigh and said, "It's done. That's it. Let's go! Go do what you need to do!"

Ye Li asked Huang Xiuxiu for the letter of guarantee so that he could keep it as a backup and have a handle on her.

On the surface, this matter seemed to be over, but in fact, all the neighbors in the compound were trying to make trouble for Huang Xiuxiu.

A widow who is greedy for money...this is not a good thing.

So, behind closed doors, every household began to give their men some advice.

"Stay away from her."

"There are always troubles around a widow! I don't think Huang Xiuxiu is a good person. You should talk to her less in the future."

After this incident, Huang Xiuxiu's life became even more difficult.

But no one sympathized with her, because she had done it all herself.

Why did you pick on Jiang Xun when you could pick on anyone else?

Ye Li and Jiang Xun are the ones who can team up to send their own brother and sister-in-law to the police station! Think about it yourself, how capable are you?

When Jiang Xun came back in the evening, Ye Li had already prepared dinner for her.

At the dinner table, Ye Li pushed the letter of guarantee in front of Jiang Xun: "Here, come and take a look."

Jiang Xun read it and said, "That's good. She admitted everything. We need to keep this thing safe, in case she can't deny it later."

"She can't deny it, don't worry." Ye Li said this, but still left a letter of guarantee in case of emergency.

"Why did you come back so late today?" Ye Libian said as he picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into Jiang Xun's bowl.

"I submitted my plan to improve the electric motor to the department a few days ago. I worked overtime today, and all the engineers in the department gathered together to analyze my plan and drawings." Jiang Xun said.

"Really? How did it turn out?"

"Not bad. We will conduct experiments tomorrow and collect data. If it passes, we will start production according to this plan!"

"I knew my man was amazing!" Ye Li was overjoyed, "Today is really a double blessing!"

Jiang Xun was delighted by Ye Li's compliment, and smiled so hard that only his teeth were visible, not his eyes: "Anything else?"

"Jiang Xun, I contacted the doctor who will perform the surgery today. If everything goes well, there will be news in a few days!" She firmly believed that this must be good news.

"That's great." Jiang Xun was also quite surprised. He always felt that this matter would take a long time. It felt like it would take at least a year, right?

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, Ye Li had pushed things to this extent.

"I'll take you to see the doctor when I get confirmation."

Jiang Xun nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Come, eat fish."

Jiang Xun saw that Ye Li kept giving her fish to eat, but he didn't eat it himself: "Why don't you eat fish? Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight these days."

"I don't like eating fish." Ye Li said.

“Is there anyone who doesn’t like fish? This fish is cooked very well, and it doesn’t have a fishy smell!” Jiang Xun didn’t believe that someone who didn’t like fish could cook fish so well.

"There are too many fish bones. It's difficult to pick them out." Ye Li said casually.

But it is also true.

This carp has the most thorns, and she doesn't have the patience to pick them out one by one.

Jiang Xun said nothing, lowered his head and picked out the bones from the fish in the bowl one by one.

"Li Li."

"Um?"

"Open your mouth!" Jiang Xun picked up the fish and fed it to her mouth.

Seeing that he had picked out all the thorns, Ye Li felt a little embarrassed: "I know how to pick out the thorns, I'm just lazy... I can do it myself."

Jiang Xun put the meat into her mouth and slowly began to pick out the bones: "I like to pick out bones. I can pick out fish bones for you for the rest of my life."

Ye Li chewed the fish in his mouth, with a happy smile on his face: "Well, thank you Jiang Xun."

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

The waning crescent moon was blocked by dark clouds floating in the sky, and a wild cat in the yard, calling for sex from nowhere, began to howl unpleasantly.

Huang Xiuxiu lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, worrying about her future livelihood.

Besides, it was a long night, she was lying alone in bed, feeling extremely empty and lonely, even her body was sending her signals.

She hadn't touched a man for a long time. It was okay if she didn't think about it, but when she thought about it, the empty feeling made her feel crazy.

Her hands were wandering over her body when suddenly, someone knocked on the window gently, and a deep voice came one after another: "Xiu'er? Xiuxiu?"
