Cheng Qiao handed a small basket on the table to Ye Jun: "Master, Li Huan and I went back to our hometown once, and this is a gift for you. Please accept it."
Ye Jun packed up his things and prepared to go back with a smile. Li's mother came out and said that her meal would be ready soon, so they should eat before leaving. Ye Jun sat down awkwardly.
During dinner, he told Cheng Qiao that he would go to the mountains to collect herbs in the next few days and might not be in the village, so if he needed any herbs, he could go to his home and get them.
Cheng Qiao had the key to Ye Jun's house in her hand, and she nodded in agreement quickly. She just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the master was not at home to tidy up everything that needed to be done.
"Qiao, how is your father this time when you go back? How is his health?"
When Li's mother saw her son and daughter-in-law come back, she was busy cooking. She only had time to ask now. Cheng Qiao couldn't help but put down the bowl of rice and sighed.
"Second sister-in-law, we are all family. If you have anything to say, please talk to us."
The person Li Le loves most in her heart is Cheng Qiao, and she doesn't want to make Cheng Qiao unhappy.
"Mom, my father-in-law was maliciously reported by Cheng Qiao's stepmother and has been sent to Gansu."
"What? There are still such bad people in this world. What happened next?"
Li's mother was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand dropped on the table. She was reported and sent to Gansu. How would she live in the future? There were people like her in their Xiangyang Village. They kept their heads down and did the heaviest work every day and didn't even dare to fart.
"They should have been sent away by now. We are also waiting for news."
"Huan'er, do you have your father-in-law's address? Why don't you find a way to send some things over there? Otherwise, you won't be able to survive there without anything."
"Mom, don't worry. I will go to the county town tomorrow to get some things to send to my father-in-law. I won't let him suffer from cold and hunger."
Seeing that Li Huan had a plan in mind, Mother Li felt a little relieved. She looked at Cheng Qiao's pale face and said distressedly:
"Qiao, don't worry. Good things will happen to good people. Your father will be fine. You are pregnant. Eat well and sleep well. After we kill the New Year pig, everything will be fine in the village. Mom will take good care of you."
Cheng Qiao nodded and decided to let Li Huan go to the county town whenever he wanted starting tomorrow, so that he would have an excuse to bring back things, such as eggs, pork, rice and flour.
During this period, not only does he need nutrition himself, but Li Le, who is still growing, also needs enough nutrition. Otherwise, not only will he not grow tall, but it will also affect his physical development.
Of course, Li's mother also needs nourishment, and Li Huan needs it even more. After the hardships in the previous life, Cheng Qiao knows better than anyone the importance of the pillar of the family.
"Mom, in a few days that woman's biological daughter will also come to our village as an educated youth."
"What's going on?"
"At the beginning, the mother and daughter tricked Cheng Qiao into going to the countryside for Wang Qin. After my father-in-law found out, he also sent Wang Qin to the countryside. That's why Wang Qin's mother reported my father-in-law."
"Well done, how could this mother and daughter be so vicious? Qiao, I'm not talking about you, you're too gullible. You need to be more careful in the future and never let yourself be fooled again."
Cheng Qiao nodded. She had already paid too much for her naivety, so she would never make the same mistake again in this life.
"Second brother, why did she come to our village as an educated youth? Is she trying to deceive my second sister-in-law?"
Li Le was unhappy. His second sister-in-law's stepmother was so bad, and her daughter must not be a good person either. He couldn't let her get close to him.
"No, she can't fool Qiaoqiao. Her mother did something bad, so of course her daughter has to bear the consequences, because we can't find her mother."
A smile appeared on Li Huan's face, and the hairs on Li Le's body stood up. Whenever the second brother showed this smile, it meant that someone was going to be in trouble, and it was a big misfortune.
Ye Jun looked at Cheng Qiao, and after they finished speaking, he spoke carefully: "Cheng Qiao, give me your father's address. I'll see if there is anyone there who can help."
Cheng Qiao stared at Ye Jun in a daze, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Grandpa Ye's surname was Ye, and the master's surname was also Ye. Is there any relationship between the two people
"Master, do you know an old man named Ye Chengying?"
"Ye Chengying, the Ye Chengying who ran 25,000 miles, he is my cousin. His father and my father had a falling out because they chose different paths in life. Now it seems that my uncle has better vision."
"Master, Ye Chengying is my father's old leader, so this time Grandpa Ye has made arrangements for my father, but he only gave me an address to send things, and I don't know where my father is exactly."
"Your father is a veteran, right?"
"Well, my father said that he was injured that year, so he was discharged from the army and went to work in a steel plant."
"I see. With my cousin here, your father will be fine. Don't worry. You just need to pay more attention to material things. Life over there is... too difficult."
Cheng Qiao immediately understood what her master meant. Not only were people of Dad’s status in difficulty there, but even the military district had limited supplies.
"Master, can I grow medicinal herbs? That way I can contribute a little to the motherland."
Ye Jun's eyes became vague. The little girl was still too young. However, if it was just for making money, he might be able to think of a way.
"Okay, Master, I understand. I'll leave first. Thank you, Sister Li, for the meal. You are such a great cook."
"No, no, I feel a little embarrassed because of your praise."
Li's mother stood up happily. It turned out that her daughter-in-law was the child of a soldier and had a good family background. Even if there were problems, she was framed and would definitely be cleared of the grievances in the future.
She asked Li Huan to send Ye Jun out. Li Huan gave Ye Jun a flashlight and a pack of batteries at the gate. These things would be useful in the mountains.
Ye Jun also had a flashlight, but unfortunately the batteries were used up. He was thinking of going to the county town to buy batteries, but unexpectedly this guy actually replenished them for him.
"Don't thank me, thank your apprentice. She asked me to give it to you."
Li Huan knew what Ye Jun wanted to say, so he quickly spoke first. Ye Jun rolled his eyes at Li Huan. It turned out that naivety was contagious. The apprentice was no longer stupid, but this guy was stupid now.
After installing the batteries quickly, Ye Jun hurried away with a flashlight. Li Huan immediately returned to the room. Cheng Qiao smiled at Li Huan and disappeared.
"Wife, wife..."
Li Huan smelled the faint fragrance lingering in the air. It was the scent left by the skin care products in Cheng Qiaoyong's space. Although it was very faint, it still inevitably left a fragrance in the neat and closed room.
Li Huan knew that Cheng Qiao had gone into her magic weapon. Ever since she learned that the fetus would be safe in Cheng Qiao's magic weapon, she would let Cheng Qiao enter the magic weapon to rest whenever she had the chance.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, when it was still dark, there was a knock on the yard door of the house. Li Huan was afraid of waking up Cheng Qiao, so he quickly got up and went out to open the door. The village chief and several police officers were standing outside the door.
