Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 245 Zhuang Mingde's Mistake

"It's just a change of job, everything else is fine," said Chen Liming.

They were not worried that Lin Anna would run out to verify. The army had made strict arrangements for Lin Jianshe's discharge from the army. Not only did they arrange personnel in the post office to keep an eye on Lin Anna's letters, they also deployed personnel around Lin Jianshe.

Although the matter has become more and more serious, Lin Anna has become less important. But she is still a part of it, and she must ensure that everything is safe.

Lin Anna breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay if it was just a job transfer. If her father lost his job, the man might take a train to the construction team and beat her up. After she was relieved, the smile on her face became more sincere. "It's great that everything is fine at home."

"Everything is fine. How are you doing here?" Wang Jichao looked around calmly.

The cabin was not big, and it looked like it could only accommodate one person. The wood looked new, in stark contrast to the dirty cowshed behind it.

This wooden house was built later. Lin Anna is really capable. She has developed so many people who care about her just one year after coming to the countryside. If such a person takes the right path, she might achieve great success.

I can't see the situation inside, but I think Lin Anna should be living well. Her mental state is very good, as if the demotion has not affected her at all. She has a really good mentality.

After Lin Anna's worries were resolved, she looked more relaxed. She said, "Me? I'm fine. It's just that I was blamed and spent a lot of money, so the team asked me to compensate the villagers. I happened to have some money, and I thought it was not easy for everyone, so I took it out to subsidize them. I just think of it as doing a good deed to accumulate merit for myself."

Chen Limin and Wang Jichao almost laughed out loud. How dare she say that? She even said that she was doing good deeds? You did something bad and it was only natural that you should compensate the villagers. But when she said that, it sounded like she was some good person. It was amazing.

"Okay, we will help you explain to your father about your lack of money when we get back. You should also write a letter back, otherwise your family will be worried about your situation." Wang Jichao reminded with pretended concern.

After visiting Lin Anna, Wang Jichao and his companion left quickly.

After Lin Anna learned about the situation at home, the shackles in her heart were finally removed, but in order to ensure the authenticity, she still decided to send a letter back.

Jiang Min had already made preparations and was waiting for Lin Anna to send a letter back.

The next day, heavy snow fell continuously, but Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin had not returned yet, and the people in the backyard couldn't help but worry.

Jiang Yu supported Xue Li as they walked under the eaves. One was tall and thin, while the other was short and fat. They moved slowly, and on a snowy day, they looked like cartoons.

Chen Jinghan pushed open the door of Wu Aiqing's room and shouted to them, "Come over and eat roasted sweet potatoes!"

"Coming!" Jiang Yu agreed immediately.

The two turned around and walked slowly down the corridor at the back.

Wu Aiqing was picking up chestnuts. The small chestnuts were covered in black by the stove. "If the snow doesn't stop, how will Fu Biao and the others get back?"

"That's true. If they don't come back, it will be difficult to travel when the snow gets heavy." Jiang Yu and Xue Li appeared at the door and added.

The case of Zhuang Mingde and his wife who were on the road last year was a bloody example.

Speaking of Zhuang Mingde, Jiang Yu and Xue Li haven't been out recently, so they didn't know that there was a commotion at the village entrance again.

Yang Lijuan and Xiaolu live with Uncle Liu, and Zhuang Mingde works in town and may not go home once a month.

At first, Yang Lijuan could still hold it back, but after more than half a year, she became more and more uneasy as she could not see Zhuang Mingde most of the time. She also knew that the love between her and Zhuang Mingde would slowly fade away with time because she could not have children. Even the Sixth Uncle disliked her in every way.

She was afraid that when Zhuang Mingde came to her house to ask for peace, she should not have agreed so easily, and went back with him without any guarantee. With the current situation, Yang Lijuan suspected that her efforts would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Yang Lijuan secretly ran back to her parents' home and took the old village chief's wife to the town.

The factory where Zhuang Mingde worked was just outside the commune. She had been there more than once. This time, she went there with great familiarity, but saw the security guard looking hesitant.

"Uncle, is Mingde at work yet? Could you please call him for me?" Yang Lijuan said to the guard with a smile.

Aunt Yang, who was standing next to her, was holding her daughter's arm and staring at the guard with burning eyes.

The security guard's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He said to Yang Lijuan awkwardly, "It's coming in. Wait for me..." Then he opened the small door at the gate and ran into the factory.

Although the cannery did not make much profit, its management was very strict. Yang Lijuan and Aunt Yang had no choice but to wait outside in the cold wind, stamping their feet.

At this time, a woman wearing a brand new dark blue cotton jacket came unsteadily on a bicycle.

Yang Lijuan glanced at her and said, "The master is going to call someone inside. You have to wait a moment."

"Oh, okay." The woman nodded when she heard that. She got off the bicycle, stood aside and waited with them.

Yang Lijuan smiled at her and was about to lower her head to talk to her mother, but when her eyes passed over the bicycle, they were fixed on the familiar scratches on the handlebars.

She subconsciously clenched her hand on the back of her mother's hand and stared at the scratch with an unclear expression.

The scratch was caused by Xiaolu. Before Zhuang Mingde came home, in order to appease Yang Lijuan and prove that he really raised Xiaolu as his son, he took Xiaolu to ride a bicycle to play. As a result, Xiaolu moved around and they fell down. The handlebar of the bicycle was scratched by a stone on the road, and Xiaolu's elbow had a big scar.

Aunt Yang looked at her daughter in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly grabbed her hand, so she asked in a low voice, "Juan'er, what's wrong?"

Yang Lijuan took a deep breath, let go of her hand, looked at the woman holding the bicycle and said, "Girl, do you also work in the cannery?"

"Ah?" The woman didn't expect that she would suddenly talk to her. She was stunned for a moment before answering, "No, I'm here to give my boyfriend a bicycle."

"Your boyfriend is so nice to you. He even lent you his car." Yang Lijuan said with a smile.

The woman smiled cheerfully, "That's the way it should be, otherwise why would I date him?"

The two of them started chatting abruptly.

The security guard and Zhuang Mingde came over at this time.

They just happened to be coming from the other side of the guardhouse, and didn't see the three people standing next to Yang Lijuan. Before Zhuang Mingde saw anyone, he called out, "Lijuan, it's so cold, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
