Seeing Su Li suddenly sit down, Mother Xie handed the work in her hands to Yang Meiling next to her, walked to Su Li and asked, "Third wife, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Li forced a smile.
"It's okay, Mom. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. It's okay. Go and do your thing."
"Okay, if you don't feel well, go back. The factory is busy and the village chief will come over later and can take care of you."
"It's okay, mom. My eldest brother will be back from the county town at noon and will come to the factory to work in the afternoon. It's okay for me to go back in the afternoon."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Su Li didn't look serious, Xie's mother stopped asking and got busy. After all, everyone had their own responsibilities at the sugar factory, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be away for too long.
After Su Li watched Xie's mother leave, he lowered his head and began to think, please...Xie Zhengchuan, please don't get into any trouble.
Mountainous area of southern province.
After Jiang Meng fired the shot, his face was full of disbelief, as if Xie Zhengchuan was a demon, and his face twitched visibly.
"This... How is this possible? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Xie Zhengchuan was hit by Jiang Meng's pistol and fell to the ground by inertia. He was dazed for a moment, and before Jiang Meng could put away the gun and push him off the cliff, he stood up again without even bleeding.
He touched his chest, feeling fortunate that he had put on the clothes given to him by his wife, which could actually protect him. Thinking of Su Li who was far away in Shanghe Village, he smiled.
"I have the fairy to protect me, Jiang Meng, put down the gun, don't make the same mistake again."
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, what a bullshit fairy, even if the Golden Immortal appears, I will get rid of you too."
“Bang!”
“Ah~”
The birds and beasts in the woods were frightened by the gunshots and flew away in panic. The screaming of birds combined with the gunshots sounded eerie and terrifying.
"Jiang Meng, it's really you?" Liu Maoshan looked at Jiang Meng in disbelief, holding a gun.
Jiang Meng held his bleeding arm and turned around to look at Liu Maoshan who was holding a gun. His face was ferocious. He was no longer the cheerful, upright, kind and helpful Jiang Xian'an.
"You actually stopped me. Don't you hate him? You can just pretend you didn't see anything. No matter who gets promoted between us, isn't it a happy ending if the person who's blocking the way disappears?"
Liu Maoshan looked at Jiang Meng with an unpleasant expression. He never expected that someone who obeyed Xie Zhengchuan's orders could be so paranoid.
"Jiang Meng, I am a servant of the people. What I want to earn is not a position, but the ability to do practical things for the people. Captain Xie is capable, and I admire him, but that doesn't mean I am inferior. I just want to do my job well."
"Hahahaha... You actually told me about responsibilities, hum! Hypocrisy. Anyway, I can't turn back. Both of you should go to hell together!"
Jiang Meng suddenly rolled to the ground and picked up the pistol. He could actually hold the gun with his left hand. He pointed the gun at Xie Zhengchuan again. Liu Maoshan's heart tightened.
"Thank you, Captain~"
Without waiting for Jiang Meng to pull the trigger again, Xie Zhengchuan rushed forward, swung out his baton in an instant, knocked the pistol out of Jiang Meng's hand, hit Jiang Meng's shoulder again, kicked him to the ground, and Liu Maoshan hurried over, took out handcuffs and handcuffed his hands together.
Xie Zhengchuan walked up to him and took away the police gun.
"Jiang Meng, just for the position of director, you actually want to shoot staff members. What do you think of yourself? Your future, reputation, and all the hard work of these years are all ruined." Liu Maoshan said sternly.
Xie Zhengchuan looked at Jiang Meng with amusement and said, "Do you think he really wants the position of police station chief? Haha... How is that possible? He has people to protect, and he also has to protect himself. Naturally, he can't let me, who is trying hard to find the truth, go."
Liu Maoshan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Jiang Meng lay on the ground with an expressionless face and dim eyes. He knew that he would not survive no matter what. Perhaps if he gritted his teeth, he could still keep his family safe!
Xie Zhengchuan shook his head and said nothing more to Liu Maoshan, "Let's go. There are comrades to be rescued in the car. We have been away for too long. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
Xie Zhengchuan carried Jiang Meng forward.
Liu Maoshan seemed to remember something?
"Captain Xie, Captain Xie, why are you fine after being shot? Captain Xie, are you really protected by fairies? Why don't I believe it?"
"Captain Xie, are you wearing some kind of breast protection goggles? Captain Xie, how did you do it? Tell me, brothers."
"Thank you, Captain..."
Xie Zhengchuan and Jiang Meng who was handcuffed had never noticed that Liu Maoshan, a man in his forties, could be so talkative.
Xie Zhengchuan and Liu Maoshan drove the car out together, and checked the condition of the car and the rescued comrades. Especially the woman who ran out by herself at the end, she looked a little haggard. Xie Zhengchuan was worried and comforted her.
The woman smiled at him encouragingly, "It's okay, thank you."
Xie Zhengchuan was slightly stunned by the woman's smile, but soon returned to normal, as if the scene just now had never happened.
Soon the car was back on the road.
Two flowers bloom, each representing one branch.
County supply and marketing.
Wang Hong took the initiative to take charge of the reception. She knew that this was Su Li's eldest brother from her husband's family, so she was extra patient.
Xie Zhenghe and Pan Yumei had already bought quite a few things, including dried vegetables, dried shrimps, kelp, two rolls of cloth, ten pounds of cotton wool, four cans of canned yellow peaches, two cans of malted milk, two pounds of egg cakes, a few hairpins, glass balls and tin frogs.
"Is there anything else you want? Yumei, would you like to take a look too?"
Pan Yumei felt that this was enough.
In fact, both of them are getting married for the second time, and she would be embarrassed to say that there is no need to hold a wedding banquet.
But her mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter over the years, saying that when marrying a daughter, a banquet must be held.
Just do it. Who could have thought that Xie Zhenghe would also follow suit and not only gave her a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch, a satin quilt, a wedding dress, new pots and pans, a thermos, a teacup, and a betrothal gift of 18 yuan, but also a newly built red brick and tile house.
But Xie's mother held her hand and told her not to be disgusted. She was so moved that she almost died.
What made her decide to marry into the Xie family was what her mother said. She and her mother-in-law had already been mother and daughter with no blood relationship. Her mother-in-law was so old and in poor health, so she was willing to serve her for the rest of her life.
Xie's mother asked her to bring her mother-in-law with her so that she and Xie Zhenghe could fulfill their filial piety together. At that time, she hugged Xie's mother and cried bitterly. Ruo still feels grateful when she thinks about it.
"That's enough. Toys for the children, nutritional supplements for the parents and mother-in-law, food for building the house, and cloth and cotton wool for making cotton-padded clothes and quilts. There's nothing else we need." Pan Yumei said.
Xie Zhenghe nodded, "Sister Wang, can you help me buy some meat? I heard from my sister-in-law that your family members work in a slaughterhouse. I wonder if it is convenient?"
"What's so inconvenient about this? You can still buy good meat right now. It might be inconvenient for you to bring your families with you. So, I'll take a break and run a trip for you. You can come here and get it when you get home."
"That's great. Thank you for your help. Here's 10 yuan. You can buy whatever you like."
"Okay!"
Xie Zhenghe walked slowly in the county town with a few children and Pan Yumei, and soon arrived at the state-owned restaurant. Xie Laifu, Xiangzhi and Xianglan were all very excited. They had often heard Huzi and Tiedan say that their aunt took them to eat at the state-owned restaurant. They were so envious before, and they didn't expect that their father and aunt would bring them here.
The three children all smiled excitedly, except Xiaodong, who didn’t react at all. He didn’t even know where this was.
After Xie Zhenghe entered, he found a seat for a few people and then went to the counter to order dishes: braised pork, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried cabbage, a bowl of mutton noodles, and seven meat buns.
One pound of food coupons plus nine yuan and eighty cents.
After paying the bill, Xie Zhengchuan took a pot of tea and poured a cup for Pan Yumei and the children.
"Why did you order so many dishes? How can we finish them?"
Xie Zhenghe looked at Xie Laifu, Xiangzhi and Xianglan who were jumping for joy, and his heart softened. "It's okay. The food coupons were given to us by my third brother's wife. We haven't had a chance to use them for a long time. Look how happy the children are. Our Laifu, Xiangzhi, Xianglan and Xiaodong have never been to a restaurant before. Let them be happy."
Xie Laifu and other children were very happy to hear what Xie Zhenghe said, especially Xie Laifu. He used to think that his father didn't love him, but later he realized that it was because he was ignorant and his father didn't know how to educate him.
