Chapter 80 Let’s Go Fishing Tomorrow
Xu Runli cried even harder when someone spoke to her, slapping her thigh and howling, "It was Yun Tangyin! She withheld most of our food coupons! My Zhicheng is so skinny, he's just a bag of bones, and she's just stewing chicken soup every day. What a conscience!"
Yun Tangyin suddenly laughed out loud, turned around and went back to the house to get out a wooden box, and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was neatly stacked the food coupon registration book and the signature form for receipt of the coupon.
She pulled out a page and showed it to the gathered military families. "Take a look, ladies and gentlemen. This is the record of my family's food coupons this month. Thirty kilograms of fine grains and fifty kilograms of coarse grains. The Fu and Jiang families have different surnames. Xu Runli, tell me, which food coupon did I withhold from you?"
Xu Runli's crying stopped abruptly, her eyes rolling around: "You...you are cooking the books!"
"Fake accounts?" Yun Tangyin shouted, "Secretary Wang! Please check if this is your signature! She's just talking nonsense and making it up."
Wang, the logistics officer, happened to be passing by. Upon hearing this, he came over to take a look and pointed to the signature on the list, saying, "That's my signature, for sure."
The military families watching the scene immediately started to talk about it: "So that's how it is!"
"I said the Fu family is not that kind of people."
Xu Runli's face flushed purple, and she suddenly pounced on Yun Tangyin: "You little bitch! How dare you plot against me!"
Fu Yucheng was quick-witted and quick-handed, protecting Yun Tangyin behind him. Xu Runli missed and fell to the ground with her mouth full of mud.
She got up and tried to make a scene, but Director Wang stopped her, saying, "Xu Runli! If you continue to make trouble, I'll report you to the security department!"
"Take revenge!" Xu Runli rolled over in a rage. "I'm going to die in front of the Fu family's gate today! Let everyone see how they bully others by taking advantage of their power!"
Xu Runli suddenly stood up and wanted to run, but was stopped by Fu Yucheng.
He pointed to the rocks on the ground and said, "Hold your things and get out of here."
"I won't leave!" Xu Runli wanted to be stubborn, but she was frightened by the sound of Yun Tangyin throwing the registration book in her hand.
Yun Tangyin said slowly, "It seems you want everyone to know that you secretly exchanged the extra food coupons for cloth coupons."
These words resounded in the crowd like a thunderclap, and the military families' eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Xu Runli.
Someone spat, "So they're trading military dependents' food coupons. How shameless!"
Xu Runli was completely panicked and pointed at Yun Tangyin, speechless.
Jiang Zhicheng arrived at some point, his face flushed red, and he stepped forward to grab her arm: "Have you had enough of this?"
"I'm not wrong!" Xu Runli was still struggling, "She framed me!"
"Framed you?" Yun Tangyin threw the registration book in front of her. "Did you leave with a blue cloth bag that day? Do you want me to take you to the Jiang family now to search for that piece of cloth?"
Xu Runli's lips trembled and she could no longer utter a word.
Jiang Zhicheng couldn't bear it any longer and slapped her in the face. The crisp sound stunned everyone.
"You dare to hit me?" Xu Runli covered her face, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Not only will I beat you, I'm also going to divorce you!" Jiang Zhicheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I, Jiang Zhicheng, am incompetent and can't afford to support a wife like you who is so unreasonable!"
He turned around and bowed deeply to Yun Tangyin and Fu Yucheng: "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
After saying that, he grabbed Xu Runli and walked away, not letting go no matter how she cried or screamed.
The military families who were watching the excitement praised Yun Tangyin one after another: "Sister Yinyin is really amazing. She exposed that woman's tricks in just a few moves!"
"You're just being attentive. If it were us, she would have blackmailed us long ago!"
Yun Tangyin thanked everyone with a smile. Just as she was about to close the door, she saw Jiang Jianhua standing in the corner with a pale face.
Yun Tangyin asked knowingly, "What happened to my second sister-in-law?"
Jiang Jianhua rubbed his hands together and finally managed to say, "Yinyin, I...I will never have anything to do with Xu Runli again."
"That's your business." Yun Tangyin said calmly, "But you should also know...why you can stay in the Fu family, right?"
Jiang Jianhua's face instantly fell, and he stammered, "I know."
Fu Yucheng hugged Yun Tangyin's waist from behind and whispered, "Are you tired? Come inside and rest."
Yun Tangyin shook her head, looked at Jiang Jianhua's back and said, "Some people's hearts won't wake up unless they are knocked."
As he was speaking, Yu Xia came over with a bowl of pickles and said with a smile, "I heard that Xu Runli was tied up by Jiang Zhicheng? That's really satisfying!"
"Even if you tie her up, she won't change her nature." Yun Tangyin poured her a cup of tea. "She's still a pitiful person."
"There's always something hateful about pitiful people." Yu Xia curled her lips. "If he hadn't protected her back then, Xu Runli wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant."
Fu Yucheng was sharpening a knife nearby and said, "He should know by now that indulgence is not loving his wife."
As the three were talking, Jiang Zhicheng's voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "Yucheng, Yinyin, I'm here to apologize."
Fu Yucheng opened the door and saw Jiang Zhicheng holding a cloth bag in his hand, his face full of fatigue.
Jiang Zhicheng handed over the cloth bag: "This is the cloth that Xu Runli secretly replaced. I'm returning it to you."
Yun Tangyin opened it and saw that it was a piece of navy blue fine cotton cloth, which was indeed exchanged for food coupons.
She shook her head and said, "You can keep the cloth. It's the divorce money that Brother Jiang gave her."
Jiang Zhicheng's eyes turned red: "I'm sorry for you."
"Let's not talk about the past." Fu Yucheng patted his shoulder, "Live a good life from now on."
Jiang Zhicheng nodded heavily, turned and left.
Yun Tangyin looked at his back and suddenly sighed: "I hope he really wakes up this time."
Fu Yucheng hugged her from behind: "Don't think about these troubles. Let's go to the Songhua River tomorrow and I will take you to catch the biggest fish."
Yun Tangyin smiled: "Okay, if you can't catch any, I'll make you wash dishes for me for a month."
"As you command, my sir." Fu Yucheng lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, causing Yu Xia to cover her mouth and giggle. "Shameless~ How sweet."
The moonlight rose, illuminating the raised courtyard wall and the two people hugging each other in the courtyard.
The next morning, Fu Yucheng prepared the car. Yun Tangyin came out with a bag and saw Jiang Jianhua standing at the door with a cloth bag in his hand.
"Yinyin, these are the sugar cakes I baked overnight. You can eat them on the way." Jiang Jianhua handed over the cloth bag, his eyes full of apology. "Before... I was wrong."
Yun Tangyin took the cloth bag and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law. We're leaving now."
When the carriage drove away from the military family compound, Yun Tangyin looked back and saw Jiang Jianhua still standing at the door, waving in the direction of the carriage.
She suddenly felt that perhaps people's hearts could really be warmed up slowly.
Fu Yucheng held her hand: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about the fish in the Songhua River." Yun Tangyin smiled and leaned on his shoulder. "I'm also thinking that the days ahead will definitely get better and better."
Fu Yucheng looked down at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "Well, it will definitely get better and better."
The car slowly drove away in the morning light, accompanied by the breeze, like a light song, singing their future.
