Chapter 2: The Vain Troublemaker 02 Did Something Big...
After Yan Mi waited at the police station for two or three hours, the police finally came back.
Their expressions were solemn, and they looked at Yan Mi with eyes full of disbelief.
The female police officer asked them, "What did you think of the incident? Was it that group of people?"
The police responded, "It's definitely unusual there. We didn't see anyone, but we heard some unusual noises, and there were more than one or two people inside. We went with fewer people this time, so we didn't act rashly. We plan to come back and discuss things before making a decision."
After the police finished explaining, he looked at Yan Mi again and said, "Thank you for telling us these things, otherwise we would not have known that this group of people actually came to our place."
The female police officer also looked at Yan Mi, "Do you want to go home now? If you do, I'll ask them to take you back."
The police naturally wouldn't treat Yan Mi, such a great hero, unfairly. "That's right, we'll send you back, but you'd better not show up again during this period. Be careful to protect yourself. We'll tell you after we catch the person."
Yan Mi nodded. She was really looking forward to it. At the same time, she asked with bright eyes, "I just saw in the newspaper that there is a reward for providing clues. Will I get a reward?"
"Yes, there will be a reward for anyone who provides clues." The police looked at Yan Mi and laughed. No wonder Yan Mi was able to find out that something was wrong. With such intelligence, it would be hard not to find out.
The oppressive atmosphere among the police officers suddenly dissipated under Yan Mi's questioning.
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still shining brightly.
In the fields of Chenjia Brigade, everyone is working hard.
Everyone was bored while working, so they chatted about gossip from the surrounding area and shared information with each other.
As they chatted, they talked about Yan Mi.
"My daughter-in-law came back from the city yesterday and said she saw Chen Lixu's wife holding hands with a fat man in the city. This kid Chen has been cuckolded again."
"I heard that the man even took Chen's wife to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, and they acted very intimate. In my opinion, Chen's wife should have been divorced long ago."
"Just looking at the man's clothes, I knew he was a rich man. Tsk tsk tsk, I knew she wasn't someone who would settle down when she hooked up with Chen Lixu before."
"Who said it wasn't? I was originally planning to marry Chen Jiajia to Chen Xiaozi, but then, for some reason, Chen Xiaozi fell in love with her and insisted on marrying her. That's why we got married?"
"Yes, Chen Jiajia is one of the few girls from a wealthy family in our village. If anyone marries her, he will have accumulated blessings for eight lifetimes."
"Chen Jiajia is indeed beautiful. Not only is she well-educated, but she's also well-mannered and delicate. She's still studying now. When she finishes her studies, she'll definitely be a cadre. Isn't she much better than that woman?"
"I couldn't understand why kid Chen looked down on Chen Jiajia. Chen Jiajia grew up with him, so there must be some affection between them."
Everyone looked at Chen Lixu, their eyes filled with pity and sadness. If Chen Lixu had not married Yan Mi, he would not have lived such a miserable life.
Chen Lixu didn't hear the conversation here. He had two children, one big and one small, to support at home. If he didn't work hard, it would be impossible to support them.
Drops of sweat trickled down his face. Chen Lixu just wanted to work harder so that he could get more food during the harvest. Otherwise, he would have to hand some of it over, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive the winter if he didn't have enough food.
Someone drove over not far away, and everyone looked over.
As the vehicle got closer, everyone realized that it was a police car.
The police car drove to the side of the road not far from them and stopped. Everyone felt nervous and looked at each other. Could it be that one of them had committed a crime?
But when they saw who got out of the police car, their eyes widened.
"Why did the Chen family's daughter-in-law get out of the police car? Did she commit a crime and get arrested? Could she have been reported for being intimate with the fat guy on the street?"
"The Chen family kid really married a jinx. He's a retired soldier after all, so how could he marry such a troublemaker?"
"What do you think she did?"
Everyone was talking about it and looked at Chen Lixu with sympathy again.
This time the commotion was quite loud, and someone even called out to Chen Lixu: "Lixu, your wife got out of the police car. Go and see if she's in trouble."
"That's right, your wife is not one to worry about. Now she has finally caused trouble. You must discipline her when you go back."
Chen Lixu frowned and retorted, "Uncle Chen, you don't need to meddle in my family's affairs. I know my limits."
Uncle Chen felt bad after hearing what Chen Lixu said. "I'm just reminding you kindly. If you don't listen, forget it. But don't come to us for help if something happens next time."
Chen Lixu, who had experience in the army, had a muscular body and an aura that was unmatched by ordinary people. Just a look from him made Uncle Chen shut his mouth in disappointment.
He quickly walked to the police car, took the initiative to support Yan Mi who was leaning over, and asked: "Excuse me, police officer, why did you send my wife back? Did she have an accident in the city?"
"It's nothing. Your wife did something big. You should pay more attention to her during this period. She also twisted her foot. Be careful on the way back. If there is nothing else, we will go back first. We still have things to do in the bureau." The policeman gave a brief explanation, and he couldn't finish telling the details for a while.
As soon as they saw Chen Lixu, they felt that this person was not simple.
In their eyes, the upright Chen Lixu and the beautiful and intelligent Yan Mi are a match made in heaven.
"Okay, thank you very much." Chen Lixu looked down at Yan Mi's feet. The ankle next to the small leather shoes Yan Mi was wearing was indeed swollen.
As soon as the police car left, Chen Lixu's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. "Tell me, what big thing did you do when you went to the city this time?"
When Yan Mi was asked this by Chen Lixu, her joy at having reported something successful suddenly plummeted. She retorted, "I didn't do anything. You just think I'm going to cause trouble."
Chen Lixu was almost laughing at Yan Mi's anger, but he didn't want to say any more nonsense to Yan Mi. "We'll be done for work soon. Sit down and wait for me for a while. I'll take you home later."
He picked up Yan Mi and put her on a rock. He was wearing a sweatshirt and half-crouched on the ground. Yan Mi lowered her head slightly to see Chen Lixu's upper body muscles. "Take off your shoes and let me see them."
Yan Mi pouted, but took off her shoes obediently.
Because Yan Mi was in a hurry when he escaped and walked such a long way after spraining his ankle, his foot injury became more serious and a big swelling appeared on his ankle.
Chen Lixu gently reached out and touched it, and Yan Mi cried out in pain, "It hurts, be gentler."
"Did you walk for a long time when you sprained your ankle?" Chen Lixu ignored Yan Mi's scolding and continued to press on his foot.
He also understood the general situation. This sprained ankle was not very serious and he just needed to apply some medicine and rest for a while.
"Chen Lixu, be gentler, it hurts so much." Yan Mi was in so much pain that tears came out.
"Who told you to run around all the time?" Chen Lixu felt uncomfortable listening to Yan Mi's coquettish voice.
If Yan Mi hadn't gone out to run around, how could he have sprained his ankle?
"I'll wait here for you to finish your work and then we can go home together." Yan Mi endured the pain. Because his performance before was so bad, Yan Mi did not dare to be too presumptuous.
"Just wait." After Chen Lixu massaged Yan Mi's feet, he gave her a displeased look.
Just when Chen Lixu was about to leave, Yan Mi suddenly whispered, "You don't know how much I miss you out there. Can you hug me?"
Yan Mi looked at Chen Lixu expectantly.
Chen Lixu knew how sloppy he was now. He was not moved at all by Yan Mi's sudden flattery. Instead, he was wondering what Yan Mi wanted his help with.
"Let's go home and talk about it first. Don't embarrass yourself here." Chen Lixu said and left, looking very cold and heartless.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Yan Mi could only sigh in his heart. Looking at the good things the original owner had done, the current Chen Lixu was so different from the Chen Lixu in the plot.
She had clearly said that Chen Lixu was a gentle and kind man? She had only been in contact with Chen Lixu for a few minutes, and Chen Lixu clearly disliked her.
The people who watched the whole process opened their mouths wide, but when Yan Mi looked over, they lowered their heads to the ground, pretending to be working hard.
Yan Mi withdrew his gaze. These people must be gossiping behind his back.
She didn't intend to pay any attention to this group of people, and her mission didn't require her to please them.
Yan Mi moved her feet slightly, and the piercing pain made her eyes go black and she almost fell off the stone.
Fortunately, she quickly stabilized her body, but Yan Mi didn't dare to move around.
It was almost evening when they finished work. Yan Mi hadn't eaten anything and her stomach was growling with hunger, but fortunately, she had the food that Chen Lixu brought with her, so she filled her stomach.
Chen Lixu came over to pack up without saying a word to Yan Mi. Yan Mi also lowered his head and watched Chen Lixu pack up.
After packing all the things and putting them in the backpack, Chen Lixu turned around and faced Yan Mi.
"Stand up." He said with a calm expression.
Yan Mi extended his hand towards Chen Lixu.
Chen Lixu took Yan Mi's arm, put his arm around Yan Mi's waist and picked him up.
"You're so nice." Yan Mi praised.
Chen Lixu was no longer buying into this. "Tell me, what do you want to ask of me?"
"I'm not. Is this all I am in your eyes? I'm obviously a super good person." Yan Mi was pouting, but she didn't dare to move around on Chen Lixu's body. She was afraid that Chen Lixu would suddenly throw her off.
Chen Lixu looked carefully at the road beneath his feet, trying his best to walk more steadily. "Yan Mi, be nice to your son when you get home."
Yan Mi recalled how the original owner had beaten and scolded her son, and even used her son to threaten Chen Lixu to give her money. She felt extremely guilty and nodded. "I know, I will change in the future, but you have to be nicer to me too. Only if you treat me better can I treat my son better, and then our whole family will be fine."
Chen Lixu was so angry that he laughed. Yan Mi just had more twisted ideas than him.
"Just be at peace, I won't do anything to you. Don't say these things suddenly, it will easily cause misunderstandings." Chen Lixu glanced at Yan Mi. Yan Mi opened his almond-shaped eyes, which were full of seriousness.
Yan Mi was well taken care of by him over the years, especially when she was pregnant. He served her with delicious food and drink. After his son was born, he gave all his use to Yan Mi, and put his son behind his mind. Now Yan Mi said that he was not good to her.
All the sincerity I had in the past has gone to waste.
From a distance, Yan Mi noticed the door. She looked carefully and saw a small figure sitting at the door.
