As soon as Xia Lan moved, Qin Yu immediately woke up and got up to look at her nervously.
"How are you? Are you still feeling unwell? Why don't you take the day off and not go to work?"
"No, it doesn't hurt," Xia Lan said happily as she threw herself into Qin Yu's arms.
Although she was still feeling a bit uncomfortable, Qin Yu's care and affection made Xia Lan feel that the pain was negligible.
Seeing that Xia Lan's face had regained its rosy color, Qin Yu felt much relieved and got up to go to the kitchen to make her some brown sugar water.
"Want some more?" Xia Lan looked at the brown sugar water and then at Qin Yu.
"You'll have to make do with this for a few days. I'll buy some red dates and then make you the Siwu Tang that Dr. Sun gave me." Qin Yu rubbed Xia Lan's head, feeling sorry for her.
Fortunately, Dr. Sun had already taught him a lot about nursing care yesterday and given him several prescriptions for conditioning his body, which she would gradually adjust over time.
"You're so kind." Xia Lan wrapped her arms around Qin Yu's shoulders, her heart filled with sweetness.
"If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to!" Qin Yu chuckled and patted Xia Lan's hand.
"Can you get out of bed? Do you want me to carry you?"
"I can get out of bed." Xia Lan smiled and went to the bathroom by herself.
Qin Yu went to the kitchen to cook porridge for Xia Lan. Xia Lan cleaned herself up and came out with a blush on her face.
"Brother Yu, where are my pants?" Xia Lan asked Qin Yu as she entered the kitchen.
"I washed them and they're drying in the yard," Qin Yu replied, turning around.
"...You...how could you...how could you wash my dirty pants..." Xia Lan blushed. This was the first time in her life a man had washed her dirty pants; she felt so ashamed...
"You're my wife, what's there to complain about?" Qin Yu chuckled, looking at Xia Lan's flushed face.
"That's still not okay..." Xia Lan blushed and looked at Qin Yu shyly, biting her lip.
"Dr. Sun said you can't touch cold water," Qin Yu said dismissively, turning the long ladle to prevent the porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Xia Lan could only run away with a blush on her face. After washing her face in the bathroom, Qin Yu had already cooked the porridge.
Even with mixed grain porridge, Qin Yu could make it soft, sticky, and sweet. Xia Lan ate a whole bowl in one go and put down the empty bowl with satisfaction.
Seeing Xia Lan's improved appetite, Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Wait for me at the factory gate after you get off work today. I'm going to check on the transportation team. I'll come pick you up then," Qin Yu said to Xia Lan.
Thinking of Luo Tianming, who tried to steal his wife yesterday, a sinister glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
Xia Lan nodded. "Then I'll wait for you at the door to pick me up."
"Good boy." Qin Yu finished his porridge, and it was almost time for him to go to work.
After washing the dishes, I took Xia Lan to work first.
The appearance of Qin Yu and Xia Lan drew the attention of the workers on their way to work.
Yesterday, Qin Yu became famous overnight. Many workers saw Qin Yu easily lift Luo Tianming up, and the two punches he threw at Luo Tianming were like those of a trained martial artist. He was clearly someone not to be trifled with.
Xia Lan, on the other hand, is remembered by everyone because of her extremely positive values.
Many people use the excuse of freedom in love to praise romance while engaging in despicable acts of theft and illicit relationships.
But a mistress is a mistress. She destroyed someone else's family. Why should she be so high and mighty and act so self-righteous?
Xia Lan's words truly expressed their feelings: destroying someone else's family is morally reprehensible, and love should not be used as an excuse.
If you really want to be together for love, you should get a divorce first. You're already flirting and acting shamelessly before you're even divorced.
Many workers nodded to the two of them, and Xia Lan, surprised, nodded back to the crowd.
Qin Yu remained calm and, after dropping Xia Lan off at the factory gate, headed towards the police station.
Du Qiang was in his office when Qin Yu walked in, and Du Qiang's eyes lit up.
"Brother, have you decided to join the transport team?"
"Your sister-in-law asked me to go," Qin Yu said casually, glancing at Du Qiang.
Du Qiang's lips curled up. It seemed that even the usually stubborn Lao Niu now had a magic weapon to make him obey.
Du Qiang personally took Qin Yu to the transport team.
The transport team was in complete chaos. Old Li, who was supposed to be promoted to captain, was not promoted. Instead, an order came from above and a new captain was parachuted in.
This caused an uproar among everyone in the transport team.
Everyone believed that the most suitable person to be the team leader was one of the older members among them. Everyone respected him and was willing to follow his orders.
But Lao Li failed to become the team leader; he remained a vice-captain.
The real captain, however, is an outsider.
How can anyone accept this?
So today, one by one, they all stopped going to work, threatening to strike and shouting that it was unfair.
"Old Li, you should try to persuade them! If this continues, the higher-ups will definitely investigate." The former captain came over to Old Li and frowned.
"How can I persuade him? I can't do anything about it." Old Li was clearly not very satisfied either. He had worked hard for the team for so many years, and even if he didn't make any great contributions, he had made quite a few small ones. When the former captain was sick, he was the one who supported him all the time.
Now that the former captain has retired, he should have become the captain, but what happened?
He was still the deputy, while the head was replaced by someone who got in through connections.
"Old Li, this is a decision from above. The new captain used to be a regimental commander! He's not one of those incompetent ones; he's truly capable!" the former captain earnestly explained.
“You’re a veteran here, everyone respects you. If word gets out about what happened today, not only will it delay the mission, but do you think you’ll get anything out of it?”
"I didn't instigate this, so what use are you to me! They feel it's unfair, they just want fairness," Old Li said with a stern face.
He's not young anymore. If he doesn't become the regimental commander this time, will he have another chance in the future?
“I know you feel it’s unfair, but opportunities should always be given to young people, and they need you too! Why are you blocking your own path?” The former captain advised Old Li, but Old Li remained silent with a cold face.
He was resisting everything with his body; he felt it was unfair, and all he wanted was fairness.
A vehicle slowly drove into the transport team. They should have already started working, but the transport team still had trucks parked there, which made Du Qiang and Qin Yu immediately sense that something was wrong.
"Brother, it seems you're not very popular! What kind of work did he assign you...?" Du Qiang raised an eyebrow.
After thinking about it, what could have caused such a strong reaction from the transport team...?
"The team leader," Qin Yu said confidently.
"What could make them so resentful must be some minor position. And for such an important position as captain, the vice-captain is usually promoted after the former captain steps down. Do you think they would accept a captain being parachuted in?"
Qin Yu's words made Du Qiang suddenly realize something. "It's still the same as before, Big Brother. His observation skills are still as sharp as they were back then."
