At this point, Captain Yu's wife asked what had happened and found out, "What should we do? Should we return it?"
She looked at the hen with some regret. Her daughter had just given birth to her second child not long ago and hadn't had any milk. She had been looking for a hen to buy for her, but it was too hard to buy in the city. Her husband, Lao Yu, wouldn't let her go to the black market. Now that she finally had one, she couldn't use it.
"How about we give her some money, consider it a purchase?"
Team Leader Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it, she probably won't accept it. Let's keep the things. That girl doesn't like owing favors. If we don't take them, she'll probably have to give us something else. But don't tell anyone the truth. Just pretend it was a gift from your relatives in the countryside."
Captain Yu's wife finally smiled upon hearing this, "Don't worry, I know."
He excitedly took the hen and prepared to deliver it to the girl's family.
...
The next day at work, Su He was relieved to see that Captain Yu was acting normally.
However, Captain Yu later spoke to her privately and told her not to do it again.
Su He readily agreed.
...
Yesterday, Grandma Su didn't stay long at the Xu family's house. She came over to see her again after dinner, and then went back.
She had originally planned to introduce Lin Jingyan to her after get off work.
Grandma Su actually wanted to see her, but there were still many things to do at home. Not only had the news that Su Lan had a job spread, but also because the Su family had been so busy lately, the news that Su He had found a boyfriend from the city and that the Su family had a future in-law from a family of officials in Beijing had also spread.
The Su family is now a well-known family in the surrounding villages, and even distant relatives come to visit.
The mountain produce that had been brought over earlier was a gift from relatives. This stuff wasn't worth much in the countryside, and every household had quite a bit of it, so Grandma Su didn't stand on ceremony. The bulk of it came from her eldest aunt's family.
After learning about the Su family's situation, the eldest aunt's husband's family treated her much better. Even though they hadn't separated their households yet, they stopped tormenting her family.
I guess I benefited from Su He's fame.
However, Grandma Su didn't tell her any of this.
She was in a hurry to go home mainly because the village chief had heard that the Su family's in-laws, officials from Beijing, were about to come and get engaged. He decided to do some simple repairs on the village roads, cleaning up the stones and animal droppings, in order to give the officials a good impression of Nanshan Village.
As the representative of the Su family, how could Old Madam Su not be present?
So, with a heavy heart, he had to give up meeting his future grandson-in-law and take the car back home.
Su He didn't expect the village to make such a big move, and she told Lin Jingyan about it when she saw her that evening.
Lin Jingyan laughed when he heard this, "Your village is making a mountain out of a molehill. My parents aren't high-ranking officials. My father works in the Ministry of Culture, but that sounds prestigious. In reality, it's just a low-level, insignificant position."
My mother works at the Women's Federation, but she had surgery a few years ago due to health issues and can't get angry, so she doesn't participate much anymore. I'm afraid she'll disappoint your village chief.
Su He smiled and said, "Even so, they are still considered very important figures in the eyes of the villagers. Even I am considered one of the most important people in the village."
"Don't worry, they didn't intend for you to do anything. They just haven't met officials before and think they're very powerful, so they were worried you'd have a bad impression of our village."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Jingyan smiled and didn't bring it up again.
Knowing that Su He had helped her cousin find a job, she asked, "What about the rest of your family? Do they also want to work in Beijing?"
