Chapter 32 Chapter 32

Zhan Huan recognized Su Chang'e at first sight. She was dressed so fancy and looked like a slut.

If he hadn't been detained in the army, he would definitely have said hello to Su Chang'e.

But it’s not too late now.

Su Chang'e is already his, but she acts like a frightened brat all day long, not daring to say a word. It's quite boring.

Instead, he became interested when he heard that she had a younger sister who was a village beauty and also a village cadre with a strong temper and a strong backbone.

But she took the initiative to separate from Su Rui, which made him realize more about Su Chang'e's stupidity.

Who doesn't want more people to serve him? Besides, being an official is good, and being an official makes you dare not expose your family's shame to others.

Zhan Huan released the hands that were holding his hair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his chin and stared fiercely at the person who was approaching.

Su Chang'e was treated inhumanely. After she found out that Zhan Huan was a labor reform prisoner, she felt that her life was ruined. She had a fight with Su Hongpei, but lost. The people who worked all year round were much stronger than her.

She set her eyes on Su Rui again, and felt that the separation was a trap. Su Rui must know everything and was deliberately trying to harm her!

Su Chang'e's sixth sense told her that the person standing next to Su Rui must be her lover. As the other person got closer, Su Chang'e's face changed from vicious to shocked, and after the shock, everything was distorted.

"Report, report!"

Su Chang'e was startled by the sound in her ears.

Zhan Huan placed his hands tightly on the seams of his pants, stood straight, and looked straight ahead without daring to move his eyes.

His experience in the labor camp made him extremely jealous of this young chief. How could this big shot who had the power of life and death be by Su Rui's side?

Before he could be stunned by Su Rui's beauty, he was frightened by Fang Chiye to the point of almost peeing his pants.

This can't be bullied. He had been living in the labor camp for ten years and finally had the opportunity to be reformed here. He knew that as long as Fang Chiye gave the order, the tens of thousands of soldiers on Zhuye Mountain would eat him alive.

He closed his eyes and thanked the law and the party.

"Why are you here?" Fang Chiye glanced at him calmly, and seeing Zhan Huan and Su Chang'e standing close to each other, he asked, "What's the relationship?"

"Report to the chief! This is my target. We will get the certificate right away!" Zhan Huan used the memories of the prisoners who were trained to do labor reform and said respectfully, "Don't worry, chief. I will accept the labor reform and will definitely turn over a new leaf!"

Su Rui stood beside Fang Chiye, looking at Su Chang'e whose face was twisted and red, and said with a smile: "Comrade Su Chang'e has a partner too? I will definitely give you a generous gift when you get married."

Zhan Huan didn't even dare to look at Su Rui. He had already seen that this person must be Captain Fang's target, otherwise how could she be so close to him.

Ah, this is Captain Fang warning him.

Zhan Huan was even more afraid to look at Su Rui, and in his heart he had already cut Su Chang'e into pieces. Sure enough, she wanted to deal with him!

Su Chang'e scratched her palm with her fingernails, and risked being beaten up, but she still wanted to say, "What's your relationship with Captain Fang?"

Zhan Huan immediately interrupted the conversation and scolded, "Does the chief need to report his interpersonal relationships to you?! Shut up now."

Fang Chiye said calmly: "Respect lesbians."

Zhan Huan smiled wryly and said, "I respect you, of course I respect you. Chief, I bought some wine, how about we go to my house and have a drink?"

Fang Chiye said coldly: "I want to drink with you?"

Zhan Huan quickly said, "Then I'll leave first, right away."

"Stop." Fang Chiye called Zhan Huan, took a step forward and said, "If Su Rui is in danger here, I will tear you apart first."

Zhan Huan shivered with fear, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Su Rui, "Auntie, I would never dare to offend you. Instead, it was Su Chang'e who wanted to introduce us. I have no bad intentions, I have explained everything."

This was the truth, and Su Chang'e had nothing to say. She stared at Su Rui intently, gritted her teeth and said, "The person who wrote to you was Captain Fang."

Su Rui said briskly, "Yes."

It turns out that she was the one who had been deceived.

Su Chang'e's eyes went dark and if Zhan Huan hadn't helped her, she would have fallen to the ground with her head down.

After they left, Yan'er and her colleagues stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, covering their mouths and not daring to speak.

Su Rui glared at her and said, "Enough of your jokes."

Yan'er quickly pulled her back, glanced at Fang Chiye, and said in a low voice, "You really are with a military officer, and it's actually Captain Fang."

Su Rui smiled and said, "Who told you not to believe me?"

Yan'er said: "Thank God, God has opened his eyes. I was wondering why Su Chang'e didn't show off, it turns out that she chose a labor reform prisoner as her target!"

If Fang Chiye hadn't been in front of them, they would have cheered.

Another salesperson said, "Her mother was very proud a while ago. She scolded all of us salespeople, saying that we were ugly, unpopular and had bad luck, unlike her daughter who had a blessed life. Haha, she is really blessed."

Yan'er whispered, "Xiao Rui, the division of the family property was a good idea. You were very foresighted."

Fang Chiye pretended not to hear their whispers and went into the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look first.

When Su Rui came in, the soda on the counter had already been opened. Fang Chiye handed it to her and said, "It's lychee flavored, right?"

Suri said, “Yes.”

On the way back, he ignored Yan'er and others who came to visit him. Fang Chiye asked Su Rui: "What do you think of Su Chang'e's experience?"

Suri said, "She is a stranger to me now. And if it weren't for you today, I would probably be harassed by Zhan Huan. So I don't want to sympathize with her."

Fang Chiye said: "Let's just be strangers."

If Su Chang'e was severely bullied, she would naturally go to Sister Zhao to deal with it, and there was no need for Su Rui to get involved.

***

After Juneteenth, it is the eve of autumn harvest.

Rice, sweet potatoes, and peaches are produced in abundance one after another.

Su Rui was busy all the time. After the pre-laying of the electrical cables in the village was completed, they also had to work with the soldiers to pave the cement road.

Su Rui's new house is about to be completed. Today she is taking a day off and specially drove her donkey cart to the Crab Cape Port in the northern suburbs of the county town.

Suli had been drifting on the sea for more than four months. He was worried these days because he didn't know how Surui was doing when he returned.

If he didn't get a share, Su Yuqin would blame him and beat or scold him. When the house was built, he would let the girl get married early and leave Su Yuqin, and he would have completed his mission in this life.

When we got off the boat, there were already group buyers waiting to buy the catch.

Su Li had no say and could only wait for the fishing boss to collect the money and share it with them before leaving.

"Old Su, is that your daughter over there? Hey, she was able to bring a little donkey here by herself, she's better than my son."

"Yes, she is my daughter!"

Suli walked a few steps up the slope, and was called back by the fishing boss: "Old Su, this is your money. There will be another batch in October..."

Su Li looked at Su Rui who was waving at him from a distance and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm old and can't do it anymore. Boss, please stop trying to persuade me."

The fisherman was in his forties, still in his prime. He sighed with emotion, took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "Hey, we can't do without an old master like you. The rest of us can't see the sea as well as you can. Forget it, I won't force you. This is for you, and I'll give you a share of the money. Please wish our brothers safety on the shore in the future."

Su Li said gratefully: "Thank you, if you have any questions, you can ask me."

The fishing boss also had the same idea: "Okay, next time we go to Shanghai, I'll ask some of the young guys to visit your home."

Su Rui came up to Su Li and greeted the fisherman: "Hello, Uncle Lu!"

Then he said impatiently, "Dad, the division is done. The work has been done beautifully, and the house has been built. It has three large rooms with green bricks and tiles, and is just waiting for you to go back and put up the main beams!"

"Just say that your daughter is better than my son. I have something to do over there. See you later." The fishing boss patted Su Li's shoulder.

Su Li stuffed the money into Su Rui's pocket and gave her the red envelope, saying, "Dad is a burden to you."

Su Rui waved her hand and said, "You are my father. You gave me a life by giving birth to me, and you gave me another life by saving me. When I was little, you didn't mind me being a burden to you. When I am old, I won't mind you being a burden to me either."

Su Rui carried Su Li's bag, bought some seafood from other people, and drove the donkey cart to take Su Li home.

"Dad, look over there is our new home." Su Rui waved her whip proudly and said, "Your son-in-law helped build it."

Suli said: "The one who was reformed through labor?"

Su Rui laughed and said, "He is in charge of labor reform. He is a good comrade who is ambitious and handsome."

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Su Li immediately grasped the key point: "handsome".

The person who can make his daughter so proud must be no ordinary person.

Even though he was thinking this, he was dumbfounded when he saw Headmaster Fang preparing a banquet in front of the bridal chamber.

"Daughter-in-law?"

Fang Chiye strode forward, shook Su Li's hand and said, "Hello uncle, I am Fang Chiye, the partner of Comrade Su Rui."

Su Rui asked him to prepare the banquet at home, otherwise he would go to pick up Su Li.

By the time Fang Chiye helped Su Rui unload the seafood and clean and put it away, Su Li was still exhausted.

After a while, Su Hongpei and Chen Haiyan came over together.

"Dad, even though we've separated, I still want to call you dad when we're together."

Su Li said with emotion: "My dear daughter, you can call me that if you want. I treat you as my own daughter from the bottom of my heart."

Su Hongpei pushed Chen Haiyan, who saluted Su Li and said, "Uncle, my name is Chen Haiyan, I'm 22 years old, and I'm Comrade Su Hongpei's girlfriend. I, I want to marry her!"

"Why are you talking about this again!" Su Hongpei was so embarrassed that she ran to the kitchen amid everyone's laughter.

"Come on, Lao Su, we're just waiting for you to be promoted!"

“Set off firecrackers!”

Putting up the main beam is an important ceremony for the completion of a house. Su Rui was very happy today, and asked Si Er and Wan Zi to hold a basket each and spread the fruit candies bought from the sugar factory.

Adults and children were picking up candies, and rice cakes were thrown in front of them.

According to custom, people who take candies and rice cakes will bow to the new house, thanking it for providing shelter from wind and rain for the family in the future, which is considered a good wish.

Suli climbed up the main beam and sat in the middle of the courtyard. There were more than 20 tables, and he sat in the main seat, holding his wine glass stupidly, unable to recover from his daze.

Could this be a beautiful dream that God gave him out of pity? He would never dare to dream of such a situation.

The eldest and youngest daughters both had military officers, each better than the other. He also had his own home and could sit in the main seat and wait for toasts.

And at the west end of the same village is the Su family.

Su Chang'e knelt on the ground and begged Zhan Huan: "Please let me go. I really can't marry you."

Zhan Huan changed his obedient attitude in front of Fang Chiye and Chen Haiyan, crossed his legs and smoked the cigarette bought by Su Yuqin: "I have already slept, and you are telling me this?"

Su Chang'e cried and said, "My family is poor and I don't have much money to support you. There is also a regiment commander and a platoon leader who are in charge of you. Even if you marry me, your life will not be easy in the future."

Zhan Huan laughed loudly upon hearing this. He flicked off his cigarette ash and said, "You lied to me again. Who doesn't know that Su Rui has already separated from the family? And your eldest sister, Chen Haiyan's mother came to propose marriage the other day, and your mother agreed without hesitation, fearing that Chen Haiyan would run away. Do you know what this means?"

How could Su Chang'e not know!

She and Su Yuqin often fantasized about their happy life in the future, and she promised to take care of Su Yuqin and support her in her old age. However, she never expected that her own mother would share the happiness with her, but abandon her and run away when she encountered difficulties.

But Zhan Huan still said it out loud: "Your mother is going to give up on you. She wants to be the boss. You are left to stay with me. Don't worry, I will be your man for the rest of my life. I know you will never change!"
