Chapter 35: Counterattack
It turns out that Shen Caisheng had joined the army many years ago when many people were still in middle school.
He was reluctant to elaborate on the specific content of his work, but even just a few words were enough for Yuan Lingling to imagine.
She probably understood that he was going undercover.
The word "undercover" does not sound that strange, and their identities may even be shady. Some people may not even be known until they die. But from the big and small wounds on Shen Caisheng's body, it can be seen that none of them is not great.
"Thank you for telling me this. I...I'm sorry. I misunderstood you."
Not only her, but every household on Hongmin Road probably still thought that Shen Caisheng was just a small-time gangster with better conditions.
But he never explained, nor could he explain, and now he actually told her.
"It's just that, won't it be okay if you tell me this now?"
Shen Caisheng shook his head, "No, I will be going to the Sichuan-Chongqing Military Region soon. Would you like to go with me?"
Yuan Lingling was surprised. Sometimes she didn't react quickly, especially after she got pregnant, but this time she reacted immediately.
"You're learning Sichuan cuisine because you're going to be transferred there."
"Yes." Shen Caisheng did not deny it, "I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it."
Yuan Lingling looked at him and couldn't help hugging him, "You... why are you so nice to me? I've always been so nice to you, and I... did that before."
Shen Caisheng patted her back gently, "It's all in the past. I also want to apologize to you for what happened back then."
"Sorry?" Yuan Lingling gently pushed him away. "You're saying sorry to me?"
"Yes, I saw you being bullied, but I didn't help you."
At that time, Shen Caisheng was young and energetic, and he treated everything with an indifferent attitude. He believed that everyone should be responsible for their own future instead of relying blindly on the help of others.
But over the years, he has met too many people who have the spirit of resistance and try to resist their own fate. Their strength may not be that weak, but they just lack that little bit of energy. As long as someone can give them a hand, they will not fall into the abyss.
"So this is why you married me." Although Yuan Lingling didn't understand why Shen Caisheng didn't help the original body, the fact that he still feels guilty about it is enough to prove that he is not a bad person in his heart.
"Yes and no." Now that everything has been said, there is no need for Shen Caisheng to hide it any longer.
"This is a very important reason. No matter whose fault it is, I still have to be responsible for you. Moreover, the group of human traffickers I was undercover with at the time were very cunning. I had a feeling that I would suffer a big setback because of them. I even thought that I might not be able to come back, so I agreed to your request."
Everything is clear now, so this is how it is.
It turns out that Shen Caisheng has been doing such a great thing. It turns out that he did not blame the original body for drugging him because of his momentary guilt.
After spending so many days together, Yuan Lingling had already realized that he was actually a very good person.
"In the future..." Shen Caisheng started to speak, but he didn't expect Yuan Lingling to speak first.
"From now on, let's not talk about the past anymore."
Shen Caisheng nodded, "Let's live a good life from now on, okay, with our children."
Yuan Lingling agreed, and the two hugged each other tightly again.
After both of them calmed down, Shen Caisheng asked, "What are your plans for the Xie family?"
Speaking of the Xie family, Yuan Lingling was really a little angry.
Many things were caused by the Xie family, especially Jiang Liping, who was really hateful.
"I want to teach them a lesson."
"Just a lesson?" Shen Caisheng's words were clearly in a light-hearted tone, but Yuan Lingling sounded a little angry. Was it her hallucination?
"Since you are going to join the team soon, then don't do some things that you shouldn't do." Yuan Lingling didn't know how he became an undercover agent, but his reputation in this area was really not very good in the past, and he was often involved in fights.
Once such a habit is formed, mistakes are inevitable.
"Why do I feel that in your heart I am a delinquent young man who can't control myself at all?" Shen Caisheng found it a little funny. Yuan Lingling's mood was written all over her face, and it was difficult for him not to guess.
Yuan Lingling also did not deny that "changing impressions is not something that can be done overnight."
Shen Caisheng couldn't refute, "Then what are you going to do?"
Seeing that he seemed to be getting a little upset, Yuan Lingling said, "I still need your help with this matter."
"I?"
"Yes." Yuan Lingling leaned over to his ear and said a few words.
After listening to Yuan Lingling's words, Shen Caisheng pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time.
"Why? Don't want to?"
"That can't be possible. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you."
In the next few days, Shen Caisheng went to the tofu shop as usual every day. When the weather was good, he took Yuan Lingling with him. When the weather was bad, Yuan Lingling slept at home and he went out alone.
As they expected, after Niu Shengnan got into trouble, the Niu family had no time to cause trouble for Yang Xiaoxi anymore.
Yang Xiaoxi is really good at making tofu. You can smell the bean fragrance from half a street away.
Moreover, she can cook both tender tofu and old tofu to perfection. There are countless people coming to buy soy milk in the morning. In addition, her face really attracts a lot of customers. With Shen Caisheng and Lao You looking after her, there has been no trouble for such a long time.
Yuan Lingling had been there several times and was impressed by Yang Xiaoxi's skills, so she helped him think of a better way.
That is to make colored tofu by adding some vegetable juice to soy milk. Although the taste is almost the same, you can't tell the difference unless you are particularly sensitive. But things are rare and valuable, so it should sell well.
After listening to Yuan Lingling's suggestion, Yang Xiaoxi was very surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a method of making tofu.
She was simply a genius at making tofu. She succeeded just by trying it casually. Within two days, the news that the tofu shop was selling colored tofu spread, and it became a real hit.
But this news was not enough to suppress the gossip about the Xie and Ma families on Hongmin Road.
Xie Guangan had made countless enemies on Hongmin Road. Perhaps he was not the initiator of those tragedies, but people needed an outlet when they encountered tragedy, and he naturally became a target because of what he had done.
Many people were thinking about how to remove him from the position of director of a respectable unit, but before anyone could take action, he left on his own and left the mess to the Xie family, which made Jiang Liping very angry.
When she and Xie Aihe were planning this matter, they never thought that it would become so serious. They just didn't want Yuan Lingling to marry Xie Guangan and ruin Xie Guangan, and they also didn't want to marry Ma Lili at the same time so that she could send money home after being assigned a job.
Of course, Xie Aihe and Jiang Liping have some differences in their ideas.
Xie Aihe had always been most jealous of her eldest brother since she was a child. When she saw her eldest brother unhappy, she felt secretly happy for several days. Who would have thought that her eldest brother would be so generous.
My family just said no, and I just gave up such a good job. I just left it so easily.
Once Xie Guangan left, the incident with the Ma family really became the Xie family's fault.
The Ma family went to the Xie family to make trouble every day, not only making the Xie family restless, but also causing disaster to the surrounding families.
Jiang Liping had no choice. Xie Guangan had run away, and she couldn't find a man for Ma Lili.
She could only act like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. No matter what the Ma family said, she would just pretend to be dead. After all, Ma Lili was not slept with by her. They would go find Xie Guangan. This attitude made the Ma family very angry.
Ma Lili cried at home every day, and even Yuan Lingling often heard it.
That day, Chen Caisheng went out and came back with injuries on his face.
Yuan Lingling was distressed. "What happened? He was fine when he went out, but how come he is like this when he comes back? Didn't I tell you not to fight outside casually?"
"It's okay, it was Gangzi who hit me."
Gangzi is Xiaohong's brother and Aunt Lin's son.
"Are you going to take action?"
Shen Caisheng nodded, "Provoke him a little, it will be easier to do things."
Yuan Lingling helped him apply medicine with some heartache, "This man was too cruel." The corner of his mouth was broken again. Shen Caisheng's mouth was really in trouble.
"It's okay, what's this little injury?"
Yuan Lingling poked him hard with a cotton swab and said, "Don't come back if you get so many minor injuries again."
Shen Caisheng grimaced in pain, but said cheerfully, "I know. I won't do it again."
"Fool!"
-
As expected, men’s words cannot be trusted. For the next few days, Shen Caisheng always came home with injuries of varying degrees.
I have had quite a few conflicts with Gangzi these days.
That day, Yuan Lingling repeatedly warned Shen Caisheng not to come back with new injuries, otherwise she would never let him into the house.
"Did you hear that? Stop being so careless."
Shen Caisheng smiled and said, "Okay, if I don't bring back my heartache, can we sleep in the same bed tonight?"
Yuan Lingling: "..." Her ears turned slightly red.
"It depends on your performance."
Shen Caisheng walked away triumphantly.
Yuan Lingling couldn't help but complain, "Virtue."
Yuan Lingling had gotten used to the way Shen Caisheng spoke and found it quite interesting.
After Chen Caisheng left, she was alone in the yard basking in the sun, knitting a sweater according to the method she remembered from her original life. Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Although such days are comfortable, it is too easy to fall asleep.
Yuan Lingling was knitting in the yard under the sun. After only a few rounds, her eyelids began to droop. She persisted for a few more rounds, but she couldn't take it anymore and decided to go into the house to take a nap.
Don't make things difficult for others but don't make things difficult for yourself.
Unexpectedly, just as she packed her things and was about to take off her clothes, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Lingling, have you seen Lily?"
Hearing Yang Ying's anxious voice, Yuan Lingling hurried to the door and opened it, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
"Lingling, have you seen Lily? I don't know where the child went so early in the morning."
Ma Lili has been locked up at home by the Ma family these days and is not allowed to go out and go crazy. Unexpectedly, she has run away now.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Look around first and then call the school. What if he went to school?"
"No, I've asked. Where's Caisheng? He's very capable. I want him to help me find it." Aunt Yang was really anxious and her voice was trembling. It seemed that she understood her daughter's restless nature.
"He should be over at the tofu shop. Just go over there and find him."
"Hey, I'll go by bike."
Just as he finished speaking, a sharp cry was heard not far away.
The two looked at each other, and Aunt Yang rushed out like an arrow.
