The old lady's hand was like a pair of pliers, pulling Chen Ye away. Chen Ye was afraid that he would use too much strength and hurt the old lady. Anyway, she didn't have anything serious to do, so it didn't matter if she just took a look. As long as she didn't go out to recognize him, nothing would happen.
The key point is that this old lady gave Chen Ye a good impression and she was not a person with bad intentions.
The textile factory was really not close, so Chen Ye and the old lady took the bus for a long time before they got there. The old lady was very familiar with this area, and it seemed like she would meet an acquaintance every few steps.
Chen Ye followed the old lady awkwardly, but no one was curious about her. After all, she was still some distance away from the old lady. Finally, the old lady took Chen Ye to a place not far from the gate of the textile factory and sat on the side of the road waiting.
When the textile factory was closing time, a lot of workers came out. This was the first time Chen Ye saw workers at a large factory closing time. It was quite novel. Just like the flock of chickens, they all came out in a hurry to find food.
Although life was generally poor at that time, the mental outlook was excellent. Every person wearing patched clothes had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
It may be that after the movement began, the society turned into a dull color. Among the crowd mostly wearing black, white, gray, blue and work clothes, that bright color was so eye-catching.
Fang Yueying just caught her eye. Her off-white pants and light red shirt made a woman in her thirties look as beautiful as one in her twenties. Her fair skin showed that she was someone who had never suffered hardship since childhood.
Unlike the other energetic people around her, she held her neck high with contempt in her eyes, as if she was looking at the people around her as a bunch of trash. Her expression was arrogant, which was in stark contrast to the people around her.
Old Mrs. Liu dropped her chin. “See? The one in red is Fang Yueying.”
"Look at the clothes she's wearing. There's not even a patch on them. I don't know where she gets all those cloth coupons. She wears new clothes every now and then."
"I saw her two children once. The little ones had the same expression as their mother. They were dressed very nicely, all in brand new clothes, just like that..."
Old Madam Liu came close to Chen Ye and lowered her voice, "Just like the young masters and young ladies in the old society, tell me, what time is it now? Don't their families think that what they are doing is wrong?"
Recalling this, Chen Ye saw Fang Yueying in the crowd, her light red shirt covered with stains.
Yes, anyone with a bit of common sense would know that in the current situation they should try to keep a low profile and be afraid of being noticed by others, but this family seems to be doing the opposite.
Do you really not care and have lost yourself in the power you hold?
Or is he deliberately acting like this to hide something?
Chen Ye shook her head. These things were not her business. She was just an ordinary country girl. The less she knew, the safer she would be.
Chen Ye saw something out of the corner of his eye, carefully stepped out of the crowd, and looked at the person standing at the corner not far away.
Isn’t that...that person Chen Jiefang?
She glanced at the aqua-red figure walking away. Aren't they a couple? How could Fang Yueying be in trouble, but Chen Jiefang was fine?
She looked at Chen Jiefang, and his expression was the same as she had seen a few days ago, that is, expressionless, neither afraid nor nervous. He looked at Fang Yueying as if he was looking at a stranger.
By the way, the two of them have two children, so is Chen Jiefang a cold-hearted person?
He doesn't like his eldest daughter from his ex-wife, and he's equally unclose to the two children from his later wife?
But the investigation said that Chen Jiefang was good to those two children!
She scratched her head, feeling like she needed to grow her brain every time she figured it out. Why was it so complicated?
Chen Ye's ears moved, but she didn't even look back. She subconsciously took a step back.
"Are you serious?" a man asked in a deliberately low voice.
The man next to him glanced around. Everyone was watching the fun, and no one paid attention to the two of them. "Of course, you also know that my family has relatives in the army, so what I say is true."
"Fuck, is this woman's husband really an undercover agent? He's wiped out my father-in-law's entire family!"
"That's not great. For over ten years, it's said that man was battling this family in a battle of wits and courage. He finally found evidence of their crimes. It's said that the deputy battalion commander will definitely get a promotion this time."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, deputy battalion commander, that's quite a high position, right? If he's promoted again, he'll be battalion commander. A battalion commander in his thirties is quite impressive."
The two of them were gossiping quietly, their eyes rolling around looking at the surroundings. Now you have to be careful when gossiping, otherwise it will be terrible if someone with ulterior motives hears it.
"That's what she deserves. Just think about it, marrying a woman like that is like serving an ancestor all day long. You don't even know whose child the child is. How frustrating it is for a grown man."
"Ah! Are you saying that the children born to the woman surnamed Fang are not her current husband's?" The person who spoke was probably a little excited and his voice was a little louder.
"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard from my relatives that the man was targeted by this woman surnamed Fang because she wanted to find a cheap father for her unborn child."
"That man happened to be investigating this woman's father, so this is just the right way to play into her."
"By the way, is this woman surnamed Fang really that?"
"Probably, but I heard her father had bigger problems, and maybe they've been secretly solved by now."
"Shhhhhh, how dare you say anything? Do you want to die?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what a mouth of mine! I'm telling you, don't go out and tell anyone about what I said today. I won't admit that I said it no matter what."
"Virtue, am I such a chatterbox? I'm sure I'll keep it to myself if I hear it. Don't worry, I know exactly what I should and shouldn't say."
"Let's go, let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's go and find a place where there is no one to talk."
Chen Ye saw out of the corner of his eye two men, one tall and one short, in work clothes, walking towards him arm in arm. These men were very brave and dared to say anything.
This is more or less confidential, right? How did they know? In a strict military environment, how could such words get out?
Chen Ye repeatedly felt that his brain was not enough. The outside world was too complicated. Life in the village was simpler and did not require much thinking.
By the way, these two people are talking about Chen Jiefang, right?
She no longer had anything to do with Chen Jiefang. Whether Chen Jiefang got a promotion and a raise, or was thrown into jail, it had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to listen to the fun.
