As a legendary figure who single-handedly caused mutant beasts to flatten the Yuncheng base in another world, Su Ying had experienced many storms and recovered quickly.
On the weekend, Gu Chengfeng took the four children to the base to play. Qiao Lanlan and Lao Ding went to the city to watch a movie and invited Su Ying to go with them.
"Su Ying, you have a rare day off, come watch a movie with us."
Su Yingcai didn't want to be a light bulb. "Either the two of us go, or you go with Lao Ding. It's your choice."
Qiao Lanlan was in a dilemma, but Lao Ding was considerate and asked the two girls to go to the city to play.
Su Ying smiled, "I was just kidding. It won't be fun if you take it seriously. I'm happy to have a day off. You guys go ahead."
I had a quick bite at noon and was about to take a nap when Sheng Hongsui came over to chat.
Although they were next-door neighbors, the two families had not visited each other for a long time. In particular, Guan Ming's doubts to his superiors indirectly led to the suppression of Han Jingyuan's promotion.
Su Ying thought that the couple still had some shame and at least would not come to her house on their own initiative, but Sheng Hongsui came anyway, just as naturally as an ordinary neighbor visiting.
Sheng Hongsui leaned against the door frame of the main room, looking at the tidy and clean yard and spotless furniture of Su Ying's house. She felt quite envious. All these housework were done by her four little children. They were really sensible.
She said, "Yesterday Guan Ming told me that he was going on a mission, but he didn't say where he was going. It seems that Deputy Battalion Commander Han left before dawn yesterday, right?"
Su Ying tilted her head and glanced at her, smiling, "I was still sleeping when Han Jingyuan left. How did you know when he left?"
Sheng Hongsui blushed and explained, "I heard from Guan Ming that he heard the noise of your door opening and closing. Han Jingyuan and Guan Ming left in such a hurry this time. What were they going to do? I wonder if Guan Ming and him were going to carry out the same mission."
Su Ying said, "I don't know, and I won't ask. As family members, we shouldn't ask about a man's job. We should have this self-awareness, don't you think?"
"Too."
Sheng Hongsui was a little disappointed and brought up another topic, "I heard that you studied medicine before. After my miscarriage, my lochia has been dripping and can't be cleaned up. How about you take my pulse and prescribe a prescription for me?"
Su Ying was a little surprised. She didn't go to the hospital when she was sick, and her family was well off enough to afford medical treatment.
"I have given up medicine for several years. I dare not prescribe medicine casually. You should go to a big hospital."
Su Ying couldn't keep being talked into, so she asked back, "Since you're not feeling well, why don't you just take a long vacation and rest at home? Why are you forcing yourself to go to work?"
Sheng Hongsui had her own difficulties, but she couldn't tell Su Ying, so she could only find an excuse.
"The work of the Women's Federation is very important. I just want to do more for our female compatriots. The family I mediated a few days ago sent a banner of thanks to the Women's Federation. The couple reconciled, and the husband's family also calmed down. Alas, they finally didn't get to the point of divorce."
Sheng Hongsui knew that Su Ying looked down on her behavior, but that's how mediation works. If the couple doesn't want to divorce, outsiders can only persuade them to reconcile.
Su Ying smiled faintly and continued to ask, "Do you really think it doesn't matter that the baby in your belly is gone? If you really think so, I will pray for you. I hope that your next baby will be the son you always dream of. Don't harm the girl anymore."
Sheng Hongsui was a little angry, "Who doesn't want a son?"
Su Ying said, "Boys and girls are the same, and the children themselves are not wrong. It is because there are too many prejudiced people like you that some girls have a hard time from birth. We are really not the same kind of people. You should go back."
Just at this time, Zhao Xiang came over and said, "Xiao Sheng, the service agency is calling you."
Sheng Hongsui answered the phone and left.
Zhao Xiang was curious. Ever since Sheng Hongsui was confronted by Han Jingyuan last time, she no longer visited Su Ying's house.
"Why is she here to chat with you?"
Su Ying said, "She hasn't recovered well from her miscarriage, so she wants me to check on her."
Zhao Xiang warned, "Don't worry about this."
"I know sister-in-law."
…
Today is the weekend and there are not many people in the service center. Sheng Hongsui speaks vaguely and loudly.
She said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Ask my neighbors. I don't know what they are doing. I don't know what happened to your brother-in-law. He suddenly became cautious. No matter how I asked, he wouldn't talk about work."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have guessed the result and spoke bluntly.
"Sister, you are such a waste."
Sheng Hongsui got angry and said, "Come if you have the ability."
I don’t know what the person on the other end said, Sheng Hongsui listened quietly.
Then, she still disagreed: "Today I asked Su Ying to help me with my gynecological disease, but she said she couldn't do it, and her adoptive father had killed people by prescribing medicine. Why did you insist on asking her to treat your grandfather? I can't bring myself to ask her, and she wouldn't agree even if I told her."
As soon as Zhao Xiang stepped into the service center, she happened to hear the words "grandfather" and "see a doctor", so she asked, "Xiao Sheng, who are you calling? Didn't your grandpa pass away a long time ago?"
Sheng Hongsui hung up the phone and explained, "He's my sister's grandfather, my half sister."
…
On the other side, Sheng Hongsui's half-sister Xue Jinyun also hung up the phone. She was in her twenties and looked innocent.
The nanny came over and said there was a visitor. "His name is Han, he's quite young, and he said he wants to see you."
Xue Jinyun finally arrived with a smile on her face.
"Please invite him to the study and make a pot of Biluochun. I'll change into the clothes to meet the guests and come over."
Ten minutes later, Han Jingyuan was in the living room, looking expressionlessly at the woman on the sofa opposite him. He did not go to the study, but said to the nanny: "It's hard for a man and a woman to talk in the room, so let's talk in the living room. If you want to talk, then talk. If not, I'll leave."
The other party insisted on seeing him before talking, so he came to see what she was going to do.
Xue Jinyun admired Han Jingyuan's determination and said, "My sister and I look a lot like each other. Aren't you surprised to see me?"
Han Jingyuan said: "That only means that you and Sheng Hongsui both look like your father. There's nothing strange about this."
Xue Jinyun insisted on continuing this topic.
"If you saw my mother's appearance, you would definitely be glad that I look like my father. My father was chosen by my mother because he was good-looking. Unfortunately, my mother died early. My father remarried. However, I am a kind-hearted person and I even let my father and his third wife live at home. You know, it's rare to find someone as generous as me."
Han Jingyuan seemed not to have heard the second half of the message and said, "Who would dislike their own mother? I don't think your upbringing is that good."
Xue Jinyun was a little angry, "What about you? It was your mother's 50th birthday, and you ran away a day in advance. Your mother was so embarrassed at the birthday party."
Han Jingyuan felt sick as if he was being watched. "You were at the birthday party too? I don't remember having relatives or friends like you in my family."
Xue Jinyun smiled, "My mom, I mean my stepmother. She and your biological mom are almost good friends. They criticize each other's sons every day. Of course, my stepmother criticizes her stepson, who is my biological brother."
"You have a brother?"
Before Han Jingyuan came, he got the basic information of the Xue family, but it did not mention that Xue Jinyun had a brother.
Xue Jinyun said: "My brother severed ties with our family a long time ago, and even removed his name from the family tree."
This girl named Xue Jinyun's mother was seeking a husband, and the information only stated that she was an only daughter, without mentioning her brother. Her grandfather had overseas connections, but he donated most of the family property, a huge sum, so huge that the higher-ups issued a special order not to touch this patriot.
Xue Jinyun takes her mother's surname. Her father was already married for the second time when he married into the family. He is currently a small leader in the committee. He remarried last year. The Xue family is so open-minded that ordinary people cannot understand. They allowed their son-in-law and his third wife to continue living at home.
It sounds generous, but it's quite abnormal when you think about it.
The conversation became more and more off-topic, and Han Jingyuan said coldly: "I'm not here to hear about your family relationship, what's the matter with that photo?"
Photo, if everyone wasn’t curious as to why Han Jingyuan was in the same frame with the girl in the photo, Han Jingyuan probably wouldn’t have agreed to come in person.
Xue Jinyun was very unconvinced. This photo was her trump card and she had no choice but to bring it out now.
She said, "My father works for the committee. In recent years, the committee has confiscated many cameras and piled them in the warehouse. I took one at random that day and found that there was still film inside, so I took a few photos and sent them to the photo studio for development. When I got them, I found that one of the photos was not taken by me. I recognized you at once. Do you want to know how I recognized you?"
As soon as Han Jingyuan heard it, he knew that this was a story she made up.
This little girl lied blatantly and her whole family had to pay the price. Yet they still allowed her to tease and fool people and things related to the army. So, there must be something wrong with her family too, right?
Han Jingyuan was impatient. "What about the remaining cameras? Will you hand them over on your own initiative, or will I file a report and our people will take them directly?"
Xue Jinyun was not afraid at all, she had already prepared herself.
"You can take it if you want, but I checked those cameras, and there are no other photos of you and that girl."
"I've told you the truth about why I asked you to come here today. When my sister was on a blind date, she actually liked you, but you didn't even look at her and chose that divorced woman with two children. My sister is an unmarried young woman, why didn't you choose her? What's wrong with her?"
If her sister had successfully gone on a blind date with Han Jingyuan, Han Jingyuan would have become the son-in-law of the Xue family, and many things would have been much easier.
Han Jingyuan has already determined that it would be a waste of time to continue talking.
He changed the subject, his words were like a knife, "In my heart, no one can compare to my wife. Your sister is not even one-tenth as good as her, and you are less than one-hundredth as good as your sister. But you are so arrogant that you probably don't even admit that you are ordinary."
Xue Jinyun was so angry. This man was blind.
"No wonder my sister said you're annoying."
Han Jingyuan: "After going in circles, you insisted that I come in person before you would tell me the origin of the photos, but it turned out to be all lies that had been made up long ago. You wasted our time and energy. I will settle this account with your family."
…
Xue Jinyun's father was actually at home, and he heard the conversation between his daughter and Han Jingyuan from upstairs.
In the study, Xue Jinyun was like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being blamed by his parents, but insisted that he had done nothing wrong. He twisted his fingers anxiously, waiting to be scolded.
Sheng Chenbin actually loves his daughter very much, and he really had no other choice so he indulged her in misbehaving, but he didn't expect that his daughter would dare to provoke Han Jingyuan.
"Han Jingyuan is a man who can be cruel even to his own mother. Why do you want to irritate him?"
Xue Jinyun bit her lip and said, "I did this all for grandpa's illness. His illness can't be delayed any longer."
"I still think that the girl in the photo will definitely show up for Han Jingyuan. Now that we can't find her, we can only look forward to Han Jingyuan, especially when he encounters difficulties and crises. I think the girl will still show up."
Xue Jinyun looked yearning and full of longing, "As long as we find her, we can open the door, and then I will go to Taoyuan with my grandfather."
…
In the afternoon, Su Ying bought some vegetables and put them in the kitchen. She left a note for Han Jingchen, saying that she was going to the unit to sort out files.
When passing by next door, I saw a woman in her fifties with a peaceful face and a kind aura. When she saw Su Ying coming out from next door, she greeted her in a friendly manner.
Su Ying thought about it and decided that if Sheng Hongsui could go to her house to get information, why shouldn't she go to Sheng Hongsui's house to get information?
So Su Ying turned around, walked to the door of Sheng Hongsui's house, and asked with a smile: "Hello, auntie, who are you?"
Mo Xiu Lian said that she was Sheng Hongsui's biological mother. After learning that her daughter had a miscarriage, she came to take care of her daughter.
She was very apologetic and apologized to Su Ying on behalf of her daughter and son-in-law. "I heard that my son-in-law complained to his boss, which affected your husband's promotion. I'm so sorry."
Su Ying felt that her apology was sincere, but she no longer had any illusions about these parents who unconditionally favored their children.
Because they love their children too much, in the end, they will stand on their children's side unconditionally regardless of right or wrong.
Just like Duan Chuxia's mother, after knowing that this body was her biological daughter, she never took the initiative to contact her, refused to acknowledge her or admit her mistake, but instead went to the prison to visit Duan Chuxia several times.
Su Ying was speechless, but fortunately she had never had any hope for her original body's parents, so apart from complaining she didn't feel sad.
She said, "My husband's promotion was suppressed by the higher-ups, which means that the doubts raised by Deputy Battalion Commander Guan are real. You really don't need to apologize on behalf of your children. By the way, I see that Sheng Hongsui has a pretty good relationship with his biological father's stepsister. I'm a little curious, can I ask why you divorced your husband?"
These family information were checked in the political review materials when Sheng Hongsui and Guan Ming got married, so it was not difficult to find out.
Mo Xiulian did not intend to hide it, and said: "After I gave birth to Hongsui, my body was injured and I could not have another child. Hongsui's father wanted a son, so he chose to divorce. However, he is still a responsible father and has been supporting Hongsui's studies over the years. I don't hate him."
Su Ying nodded. It was no big deal to part ways amicably. However, after her ex-husband divorced her, he became someone else's son-in-law, and all the children born took the woman's surname.
Therefore, there must be something more tempting than having a son for a man who wants to carry on the old idea of passing on the family line.
…
Sheng Hongsui waited until Su Ying left before she dared to come out, complaining that her mother shouldn't have talked to Su Ying about past family events.
"Mom, why did you say so much to her?"
Mo Xiulian blamed, "Neighbors should have good relations. Did you know that your son-in-law was going to report to Deputy Battalion Commander Han?"
"I know." Sheng Hongsui said, "I encouraged your son-in-law to go. Guan Ming is over 30 years old and has more experience than Han Jingyuan. Why should he be promoted first?"
Mo Xiulian scolded, "That must be based on ability. If they can't get the promotion, it won't be our turn. No leader likes subordinates who tell tales. Do you think you are helping your son-in-law? You are harming her."
"It's not that serious, is it?"
Mo Xiu Lian told her daughter not to ask about her son-in-law's work anymore.
He also hated her for losing the baby in her belly without warning, "How can you take risks with the baby in your belly? It's the first child of you and your son-in-law."
Speaking of this, Sheng Hongsui was indeed a little sad. "My sister asked me to do this. She said Su Ying had studied medicine and would definitely remind me. She also said that the medicine would be fine after a few days. I was not destined to be with the child. She was just a girl. Forget it."
Her daughter's careless attitude made Mo Xiu Lian begin to regret. She should not have accepted her ex-husband's help and let her daughter go to school with him. She raised her daughter to be too naive.
Mo Xiu Lian said earnestly, "Your father abandoned us just to become someone else's son-in-law. You are too foolish. You can't trust any of his family members."
…
Xiaozhou was the only one on duty at the company on the weekend. Su Ying found an excuse to ask Xiaozhou to go out and buy some office supplies, and then prepared to call Wen Yan's company to ask about his interpersonal relationships with the new boss's family and how the investigation was going.
Before she could make the call, Han Jingyuan called.
Su Ying asked with a smile: "Today is the weekend, how did you know I would be at work?"
Han Jingyuan said in a gentle tone that he first called the service center, "Sister-in-law Zhao Xiang said that you came to the company and worked overtime on weekends?"
"Well, the children are not at home. Qiao Lanlan and Lao Ding went to the city to see a movie. I took a nap and came over to sort out the files in the afternoon. How did you find time to call me?"
Han Jingyuan had already analyzed the conversation between him and Xue Jinyun at Xue's house today with Xu Yuezhou over the phone at the guesthouse. He thought that the girl was just playing tricks on him and never told the truth.
Xu Yuezhou has arranged for someone to re-investigate the Xue family's family relationships. Before the new investigation report comes out, Han Jingyuan can only wait for further instructions in the guesthouse.
During the waiting process, Xu Yuezhou did not stop Han Jingyuan from calling his wife.
Han Jingyuan said: "I just want to ask you guys, have you met any strange people at home?"
Su Ying said: "I didn't meet any strange people, but Sheng Hongsui's biological mother came to the family compound, saying that she was taking care of her during her postpartum period. I asked her why she divorced her ex-husband, and she said that her ex-husband wanted to have a son, but she was injured and couldn't have one, so they divorced peacefully."
"It's a bit strange, isn't it? A man who would rather divorce than give birth to a son becomes someone else's son-in-law not long after."
Han Jingyuan also found it very strange. He wondered if Su Ying knew that the second daughter born to Sheng Hongsui’s biological father after he became a son-in-law was the willful little girl who provided the photo?
…
After hanging up the phone, Su Ying called the Animal Husbandry Station in Beijing. Wen Yan was serious about his work and had a very good temper. He was single and had no family constraints. He was willing to go overtime if there was an emergency on the weekend.
So this weekend, Wen Yan was the only one at the animal husbandry station.
Wen Yan deliberately opened the door so that if someone passed by outside, he could hear the footsteps from a distance.
"Sister Ying, I found out about my new boss's family situation from my contact. There are two brothers. One is married and has children, and the other has never married. The older brother who has a son and a daughter went abroad with his wife and son, leaving his daughter behind to be adopted by his younger brother. Later, he found a live-in son-in-law and had another daughter. She is only in her twenties and is currently unmarried. I met her once, and I could tell at first glance that she has a very difficult personality."
"There is a family history of illness. My older and younger brothers are both suffering from lung cancer. I guess terminal illness is one of the reasons why they are so anxious to find a door."
Su Ying was speechless, "My special powers can't cure terminal illnesses. If they really go to another world, they will die faster."
Wen Yan chuckled, "That's right, but they believe it. My boss in another world gave them mutant beast meat before. Eating that stuff can indeed strengthen their physical fitness, but it can't prolong their lives. Moreover, after they stopped eating mutant beast meat, their physical fitness deteriorated faster. Alas, people in this world are so easy to deceive. If I can open a door, I would like to open a line of business."
Su Ying: "You want to die, right?"
Wen Yan immediately begged for mercy, "I was just kidding, Sister Ying, don't be angry, I am very satisfied with my current life, I will definitely cooperate with you and locate the remaining leaders who know about it as soon as possible."
Su Ying reminded him, "Just make it clear, you are helping yourself. You were the one who came to me for help first. Don't mess it up."
"Yes, it's Sister Ying who is helping me."
Su Ying was about to hang up the phone, and Wen Yan hurriedly said, "Sister Ying, wait a moment, I have something else to tell you."
"explain."
"Your husband, Han Jingyuan, went to my new boss's house this morning. Could he be investigating the same thing?"
…
Su Ying guessed that what Han Jingyuan was investigating was related to the photo, and now they were at a stalemate.
Forget it, let’s go home first.
When I got home, Qiao Lanlan and Lao Ding had already returned and were cooking with the children in the kitchen.
Su Ying suddenly thought that Qiao Lanlan was reborn, and she knew a lot of things that others didn’t know, so she could ask Lanlan.
Su Ying thought this method was feasible. She called Qiao Lanlan outside and said, "Lanlan, you are reborn. I want to ask you something. It hasn't happened yet, but it will be very important for the future."
Qiao Lanlan was so excited that she could finally help Su Ying. She knew some things after her rebirth, which was an advantage that no one else had.
"Okay, go ahead and ask."
