Chapter 37: Fool
The farce nearby has ended, but from the smiles on everyone's faces, it can be seen that everyone is still enjoying the excitement and is chatting happily in groups of three or four at the gate of the courtyard or under the big trees.
Seeing the couple coming back, someone from a distance started talking to them, "Caisheng, Caisheng's wife, someone is here to look for Caisheng. Caisheng, who is that girl? She's so pretty."
Shen Caisheng lied with his eyes open, "I don't know him."
Seeing that he didn't admit it, everyone seemed to smell something shocking. "Oh, how could I not know him? He asked for you by name. Look at my mouth. Can't I let my wife know?"
Shen Caisheng gave the other person a look and he immediately shut up.
The person next to the man quickly pulled her back and said, "Just watch the fun, why did you provoke him?"
"Oh my god, this is too much noise. I am stunned."
Chen Caisheng obviously didn't want to argue with them, and only said to Yuan Lingling: "I really don't know her, but I have seen her before. I don't know what she is doing here."
He was obviously a little impatient when he said this.
Yuan Lingling smiled, "Are you explaining this to me?"
Chen Caisheng stared at her without saying anything, but just gently pinched her armpits to prevent Yuan Lingling from letting go.
The girl standing at their door was really good-looking, and she was dressed in the most fashionable style of the time, a black coat, tight pants, and a pair of small leather shoes. Yuan Lingling felt cold for her.
She was originally looking impatient, but as soon as she saw Shen Caisheng, she immediately came forward.
"Hello comrade, we meet again."
She showed a bright smile and was about to come up to take the things in Shen Caisheng's hand, "Let me help you carry it." As if she didn't see Yuan Lingling at all.
Yuan Lingling let go of her hand, and Shen Caisheng moved to the side to avoid her approach.
"What's up?"
The chilly feeling reminded Yuan Lingling of the scene when she first met him.
"Comrade Shen Caisheng, your name is Shen Caisheng, right? I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time, so I want to invite you to have a meal at the state-owned restaurant."
"No need." Shen Caisheng gestured to Yuan Lingling to open the door. After opening the door, he let Yuan Lingling go in first, and then he followed behind.
The woman wanted to follow, but was blocked by Shen Caisheng at the door. "Anything else? No, we have to cook, so it's not convenient to entertain guests."
"Wait, Shen Caisheng, I know you're working in a transport team now, and your monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. Let's talk. I'll introduce you to a job in a mine, which will definitely be better than your current job."
"No need." Shen Caisheng slammed the gate shut without saying anything.
Yuan Lingling didn't see the woman's expression, but she thought it wasn't a good one.
Seeing Shen Caisheng's attitude towards other women, Yuan Lingling didn't know if he was doing it for her. Yuan Lingling joked, "They are introducing you to a job, why don't you ask what kind of job it is? What if the salary is good? Then we don't have to move."
"Stop it." Shen Caisheng could of course tell that she was joking, and after thinking about it, he explained what happened.
Some time ago, when Shen Caisheng came back from a mission, he encountered a group of people robbing him. He helped the girl, but he didn't expect that the girl would keep pestering Shen Caisheng.
"If she comes to see me later, you don't have to let her in." Shen Caisheng said.
Yuan Lingling was puzzled. Since there was a sense of helping each other, they shouldn't treat each other like enemies.
"She's been pestering you? Why? Is she attracted to you?" She saw that the girl didn't seem to have that intention just now.
"No, I haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I'm sure."
Seeing Yuan Lingling's curious face, he added: "Their family is from the mine, so there might be some problems. It's not good to say anything without finding out."
After he said that, Yuan Lingling understood that it was a work matter, and it was indeed not convenient for him to tell her about his work.
But the mine...
"Can I ask what the girl's name is?"
"My name is Xue Wen."
Yuan Lingling frowned suddenly. She was Xue Wen.
The second female lead in the book, a friend of the female lead who has always coveted the male lead.
The reason why Yuan Lingling thought of this was because of the gossip she heard at the train station last time. The heroine of the gossip had a cousin named Xue Wen.
In the book she read, the author only said that Xue Wen had a cousin who worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, whom she looked down upon, and the man she had her heart set on was the man who was abandoned by her cousin.
But she and that man were not destined to be together. She asked her parents to find him a job, and after much difficulty she got one. However, he went to join the army.
Later, the man was betrayed by his comrades and died while participating in a mission in the army.
From then on, Xue Wen never recovered until she met the hero in the book who was 60% similar to that man, and then she began her journey as the second female lead.
And the man she likes is the protagonist of the last gossip, Gong Senlin.
So, what will Gong Senlin do in the future?
"Is this amount of pepper enough? Is it too much?"
Shen Caisheng knew that Yuan Lingling liked spicy food, but he was also worried that she couldn't handle it, so he thought about asking her. But when he looked up, he saw that she was in a daze, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
"What's wrong? Lingling?"
Yuan Lingling came back to her senses, "Ah, nothing, what happened?"
"Are these enough peppers? Are they too many?"
"That's about right. The chicken is so fat!" Speaking of food, Yuan Lingling temporarily put the plot in the book behind her.
In fact, even if she took it to heart, she couldn't solve it.
This matter was of great importance. She didn't know the man, nor did she know who his comrades were. Even if she wanted to give an anonymous reminder it would be difficult to do so.
Anonymous reminder... doesn't seem impossible.
But when it comes to the other party's task, it would be difficult to remind the other party anonymously without being discovered. Yuan Lingling didn't think she had that ability.
But that was a human life, and Gong Senlin had helped her.
Yuan Lingling was not very good at hiding her emotions, and even though she was happy when she ate something delicious, Shen Caisheng could tell at a glance that something was on her mind.
After lunch, the two sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun. Shen Caisheng asked, "Do you know Xue Wen?"
Shen Caisheng could see that she was not angry because Xue Wen came to her house, but she felt something was wrong after hearing Xue Wen's name.
Yuan Lingling shook her head and smiled, "I don't know him. How could I know your friend?"
"But last time we met a human trafficker at the train station, a man helped me. Do you remember?"
Shen Caisheng naturally could not forget the person who saved Yuan Lingling.
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"I heard something about him at that time..."
Yuan Lingling told Shen Caisheng the gossip.
Unexpectedly, Shen Caisheng said, "I know about this."
"You know?"
"Yes, if we want to investigate Xue Wen, we must investigate her family. There are indeed some problems in their family, but why are you talking about this?"
Yuan Lingling swallowed and said nervously, "It's nothing. I just think that among so many people at that time, only Gong Senlin was willing to stand up and help me. We should thank him."
Shen Caisheng smiled and said, “You have already helped him.”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Lingling was puzzled. "Since that time, I haven't even been to the direction of the train station."
Shen Caisheng didn't lose her appetite too much, and explained: "Remember the old man who lied to you?"
"Of course I remember. How dare she lie to me? Has she been sentenced now?"
Because of Shen Caisheng's presence, Yuan Lingling didn't care much about the follow-up of this matter.
"She will never be able to come out in her lifetime, but I want to talk about her grandchildren."
It turned out that the old woman had a grandson who was two years younger than Gong Senlin. Coincidentally, they were comrades-in-arms.
After the incident at the train station, the guy was suspended for investigation immediately. If he hadn't been investigated, no one would have known that the guy had stolen the credit from Gong Senlin several times and even tripped Gong Senlin up during the mission.
"Because of the incident at the train station, he has been promoted out of turn. You don't have to thank him anymore."
Shen Caisheng had wanted to help express his gratitude a long time ago, but only later did he discover that there were so many connections between them.
"I wanted to come back and tell you, but since you didn't want to talk to me, I didn't tell you."
Yuan Lingling didn't care about this at all. She had a strong premonition that the old woman's grandson must be the one who killed Gong Senlin in the book. But just in case, she frowned and said, "I always thought that those who could join the army were upright men. How could there be someone like him?"
"There is always an evil side in every place, so there are supervisory departments. People like him will be caught sooner or later, even if not now."
When Shen Caisheng mentioned these things, his words were full of pride. This sense of identification with the organization made people feel excited.
"Will their team conduct a strict investigation?"
"Of course, when something like that happens, it's not just them, so the local authorities will conduct a thorough investigation, including us."
Yuan Lingling nodded. She probably couldn't ask any more questions.
Since they have conducted a thorough investigation, even if it is not that person, they should be able to find some clues. Besides, Gong Senlin has encountered such a thing before, so he can be more careful.
In this case, what Shen Caisheng said was really right, and I really did help him.
The problem that had been bothering her for the whole afternoon was suddenly solved, and Yuan Lingling felt much better. "I'm going to take a nap. Do you want to sleep with me?"
Shen Caisheng paused and looked at her.
They have reconciled recently, but Chen Caisheng still goes to the guest room to sleep at night. Yuan Lingling didn't ask him to sleep on the kang, so he was very self-conscious.
Now Yuan Lingling suddenly invited him to sleep, even if it was just a nap, which still made Shen Caisheng's heart beat faster.
"Why are you looking at me? Are you going to sleep or not?" Yuan Lingling stood up and didn't look at him, but her ears turned red quietly. "I just... my shoulder is a little uncomfortable, can you help me massage it?"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Upon hearing that Yuan Lingling was feeling unwell, Shen Caisheng immediately became nervous and followed her into the house.
"I heard that the waist will feel uncomfortable during pregnancy, why would the shoulder feel uncomfortable?"
Yuan Lingling glanced at him and said, "Fool."
With that said, is there anything else Shen Caisheng doesn't understand?
Although the two can't do anything now, sleeping on the same kang always makes their relationship closer.
Yuan Lingling had already figured it out. Shen Caisheng was just saying it happily. If she didn't speak up, the two of them would probably never be able to sleep together.
Shen Caisheng was just feeling happy when he heard someone knocking on the door again.
He frowned, "Don't worry about it, go to sleep."
Yuan Lingling pretended to walk out, "It might be Aunt Yang. Ma Lili is missing."
