Although Buling's idea was a bit unethical, it was really effective; it showed results in just three days.
"Xiao Zhu, let me tell you, my mother-in-law and the others were furious this morning, but they didn't dare to do anything to me." Sister Ma's injured face was beaming with joy.
"Xiao Wu, you don't know, when I sleepwalked with a kitchen knife last night, my sister-in-law was so scared that she was trembling. If I hadn't still had some sense, she would have laughed out loud."
“Xiao Bu, do you know, now my sisters-in-law avoid me when they see me, and they don’t dare to raise their voices at me anymore.”
Sister Ma was truly happy; the joy in her eyes and brows had erased her past sorrows, and she seemed much more energetic.
The three of them were happy for her seeing her like this.
"Keep it up, Sister Ma! You'll succeed when you send your mother-in-law back to the countryside," Bu Ling encouraged with a smile.
Sister Ma nodded earnestly: "Thank you, Xiao Bu."
Bu Ling waved her hand: "We're all colleagues, it's only right." She mainly couldn't stand men who abused their wives, because her own father in her previous life was like that.
Over the next few days, Sister Ma's facial injuries gradually healed, and she became more and more energetic.
Needless to say, this performance shows that she has gained the upper hand in her battle with her mother-in-law.
As Bu Ling had predicted, Sister Ma's mother-in-law didn't even last a month before she slunk back to her hometown with her family.
On the day her mother-in-law passed away, the frugal Sister Ma bought a carp and tofu soup out of her own pocket to give everyone an extra meal.
At the dinner table, Sister Ma picked up her soup bowl and said, "Thank you all for your help during this time. I'll use this soup as a substitute for wine to express my gratitude."
Everyone was very polite, picking up their soup bowls and clinking them together with Sister Ma.
From that day on, Sister Ma changed. The sorrow on her face disappeared, and she became more energetic and cheerful every day.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly harmonious.
Bu Ling was very satisfied with this. The workplace was harmonious and the compound was friendly. It was really great. Indeed, a comfortable environment still needs to be created by oneself.
When life is comfortable, time flies by, and soon, Bu Ling welcomed the New Year of 1971.
Last time, she and Sangsent each other to celebrate New Year's Eve. This time, she had different ideas.
"Hey, Mulberry, what do you say about us celebrating New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow? Let's invite my brother and your brother together, and have hot pot!" (Buling)
Sang Shen ladled the food out of the pot and put it on the table: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's invite Xie Dong too. He's quite lonely by himself."
"Anything is fine. How about I go to the black market tomorrow and buy some meat and vegetables?" Buling had no objection. Hot pot is more lively with more people.
"No need, we'll eat at Xie Dong's place tomorrow and have him prepare. He has his own yard, so he won't attract attention." Sang Shen felt that it was better for them to keep a low profile this year.
“Okay, then I’ll go home after work tomorrow and talk to my brother.” Bu Ling also thought this was a better idea.
The next day after work, Bu Ling took a car straight home and told Bu Yi and Liang Boda about spending New Year's Eve together. The two readily agreed and planned to bring their own drinks.
Speaking of which, these drinks were brought by the Sang family when they came last time. They are Kyoto-exclusive liquors, the kind that ordinary people can't buy.
So the next day, Buyi went to the logistics department to borrow a car again.
"Commander Bu, going to see your sister again?" the logistics director joked.
Buyi wasn't annoyed by the teasing: "No, I'm going to see my sister off."
Director of Logistics: ...
Do I really need to explain this so seriously?
However, they also knew that Commander Bu was particularly meticulous about his sister's affairs.
Logistics Director: "How long will this loan last?"
"Before six o'clock in the evening," Bu Yi said.
“Okay, it’s the same car as before. Here are the keys, go and open it yourself.” The head of the logistics department readily agreed.
Buyi thanked him, took the keys, and left.
On the way, Bu Ling asked curiously, "Brother, why are you bringing alcohol? We have to drive."
Bu Yi did not answer: "Liang Boda doesn't drink. Just let him drive it back tonight."
Knowing Bu Yi's plan, Liang Boda chimed in, "That's right, little sister, don't worry, I won't drink it."
Buling glanced at the two suspiciously, but seeing that they looked normal, she didn't ask any more questions.
Once Bu Ling looked away, Bu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As Bu Ling had requested, they drove directly to the county government building.
When they arrived, Mulberry was already waiting outside.
"Brother, Brother Liang!" Sang Shen greeted him with a smile.
"Okay, come on up." Bu Yi found it hard to be enthusiastic towards the person who had taken his sister away.
Sangshen wasn't annoyed. Just as she was about to walk to the back seat, Liang Boda got out of the passenger seat and said, "Come on, kid, you sit here!"
Mulberry: ...
Bling smiled: "Go ahead."
"Alright then." The revolution is not yet complete; comrades, we still need to work hard.
Sangzhen obediently sat in the passenger seat and explained, "My brother knows the place; he'll go there himself after get off work."
Bu Ling said "Oh," and then asked, "Where is Xie Dong's house?"
Sangshen paused for a moment, then replied, "The first house in the second alley to the left of the county hospital."
Buling: This address sounds familiar?
She looked at Sangshen, who nodded to her, indicating that it was just as she thought.
Good heavens, that's incredibly audacious! It's right next to the entrance to the black market.
The government building wasn't far from the county hospital, and Bu Yi arrived quickly in his car.
"Brother, just drive into the one with the door open," Sangshen said solicitously.
Bu Yi nodded, turned the car around, and drove it into the yard.
After parking the car, Bling opened the car door and looked around the house.
