The focus shifted, and everyone was looking at Wen Qian and Yang Tong. Who in the team didn't know that Deputy Commander Yang had a strained relationship with Lu Zheng? At this moment, however, Wen Qian stood in the same frame as him, making it hard not to raise suspicions among others.
Wen Qian casually waved the letter in her hand. "This? It's from Yang Tong's sister-in-law. We're good friends."
Guo Dajuan circled around, clearly unconvinced. Did delivering a letter really require standing here and talking? He hadn’t left since I arrived!
Wen Qian merely smiled and said nothing. Guo Dajuan assumed she was feeling guilty and hurriedly approached her. "If you help me get Xiao Juan out, I won’t tell Lu Zheng, and I’ll even cover for you!"
She was sure of it; Yang Tong had feelings for Wen Qian! That’s why she felt so confident!
Wen Qian smiled slightly and replied indifferently, "No, thank you."
"You... don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty!" Guo Dajuan shot her a glare. Before she could say more, they heard a child's voice.
"Uncle Yang, I just found it after forgetting where I put it!"
Lu Chen and Wen Yuanyuan ran up to Yang Tong, holding hands, and presented him with a pen. Their little faces were tense, serious yet earnest, as if they were completing some important handover ceremony.
Yang Tong looked pleasantly surprised as he accepted the pen. Upon closer inspection, it was a fountain pen.
Wen Qian raised an eyebrow at Lu Chen. So that’s how it was! A few days ago at the supply store, the little guy had been so captivated by the fountain pen that he couldn’t move on, his face flushed as he begged her to buy it. No matter how she asked, he wouldn’t say who it was for.
At that time, she thought he was buying it for Lu Zheng; she never imagined it was for Yang Tong.
With Lu Chen and Wen Yuanyuan's appearance, the rumors fell apart on their own. They were waiting for the kids; how could this be seen as the two of them being alone together? Besides, who would have an affair right in front of their house with so many people around? The distance between them could easily accommodate several more people.
Many people rolled their eyes at Guo Dajuan in disbelief and couldn’t help but scold her a few times.
"Dajuan! Why are you meddling so much? If you really care about your sister, go find your man! Why make things difficult for Wen Qian?"
Exactly! It’s not like they’re hiding; are you bored? The work in the cafeteria is so easy; if you don’t want to do it, I’ll take over.
They had long wanted to work in the cafeteria—not only could they earn money to support their families, but it was also close to the base. They could take care of their kids and provide more food for their families. If they were agile enough, they might even manage to bring back some extra supplies.
This is quite a lucrative opportunity!
When Guo Dajuan heard that someone was trying to take her job, she became anxious. "Get lost! I'm still working here! You wish!"
Had she not sought out Chen Liang?
She had indeed gone to find Chen Liang, but that scoundrel said he wouldn’t help her and told her to figure it out on her own. She tried to approach Chixue Tea, but the person wouldn’t even see her. Unable to wait any longer, she had no choice but to seek out Wen Qian.
Did they think she wanted to see Wen Qian? She had just recently clashed with that little brat with the surname Wen, and now she was supposed to beg this wretched person for help. How could she accept that?
But Chen Liang had said that if this wasn’t resolved, Guo Dajuan would have to go home, and her son would have to follow her too.
More and more family members gathered around, and Yang Tong felt it inappropriate as an outsider to linger there. He bid farewell to Wen Qian and the two children. "I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave."
After he left, Wen Qian took the two children inside and, before closing the door, looked at Guo Dajuan and said, "Sister-in-law, if I hear any gossip, you know what the consequences will be. I won’t hesitate to pay a visit to the leadership office!"
"You... you’re threatening me! You’re threatening me!" Guo Dajuan was so furious that she could barely stand. She wanted to hit Wen Qian but found herself shut out.
There were people around who had long been displeased with Guo Dajuan, and they relished the moment. "Guo Dajuan! Look at you now! Weren't you always so strong and domineering? Aren't you a master at slandering others? Where's your power now?"
The woman speaking was filled with hatred for Guo Dajuan. Just because Guo Dajuan had once tried to buy some meat that she wanted, Guo Dajuan held a grudge against her. The last time, she had merely chatted a bit too much with the brother who served food and went back a couple of times, only to be slandered by Guo Dajuan as having an affair with him.
It was unfortunate for her that the brother had just lost his wife. When she returned home, her husband gave her a harsh scolding, and from then on, she harbored resentment towards Guo Dajuan. Anyone who clashed with Guo Dajuan became her ally; it was a way for her to vent her anger.
"Xue Tea, can you stop bothering Lu Zheng? He has a wife and kids now."
Chixue Tea turned around impatiently, looking disdainfully at Guan Weiguang. Seeing his timid demeanor annoyed her. "If I’m not bothering him, do I need to come bother you? What’s so special about you that I should bother?"
Guan Weiguang explained urgently that Lu Zheng had already brought his sister-in-law and child over, which meant they wouldn't be getting a divorce. He urged her to let go of her obsession, insisting that she was not only wasting her own time but also ruining her reputation.
Chixuecha glared at him, raised her hand to lightly poke him, and then pointed to the side, shouting, "Get lost!"
What difference did it make if they came over? They could still get a divorce. Wasn't it pointless to talk about this now? "Who do you think you are to me? What do you even count for?"
She curled her lip in annoyance as she looked at him. "Weren't you the one who said you'd help me? Now you want to backtrack? Then don’t come looking for me again."
After saying this, Chixuecha turned to leave, and Guan Weiguang hurriedly pleaded for her to stay, lowering his head submissively as if resigned to his fate.
"I’m helping you because you can’t harm your sister-in-law and child. If you do, I won’t help you anymore."
"Are you done? Why would I harm them? Am I just sitting around with nothing better to do? You're driving me crazy with your incessant nagging."
Hearing her words, Guan Weiguang sighed in relief; at least she wasn't losing her mind.
"You still have unfinished business. Hurry up and take care of what I told you, or don’t come looking for me again."
Guan Weiguang watched sadly as Chixuecha walked away, feeling helpless and defeated.
Meanwhile, Wen Qian entered the room and opened an envelope, pulling out a letter and unfolding it to read.
The beginning of Yang Liu's letter directly addressed her relationship with Yang Tong and acknowledged that she was aware of the feelings between them. She emphasized the recent turmoil in the Lu family that had become known across several villages.
The exact words were: "Our village is buzzing with news; you have no idea how exciting it is. If only your family knew, it would surely be satisfying."
Yang Liu had specifically inquired about the details before writing to inform her.
As Wen Qian's gaze dropped down the page, she felt a sinking sensation in her heart after reading that part. It was pretty much what she had anticipated; she hadn’t expected Lu Ju to show any mercy! But he certainly had his ruthless side!
Before leaving, she had deliberately left a big surprise for the Lu family, just waiting for Lu to open it himself. Now that it was opened, she wondered if the Lu family would be satisfied or not.
