Seeing that Su Wen had returned safely, people in the courtyard were talking a lot.
After dinner, a group of people in the courtyard of the courtyard were chatting outside, "Didn't this damn Su Wen get arrested by the security department? Why was he released again?" came a harsh and harsh voice, it was Jia Zhang.
"You don't know this, right? I heard that there is a big shot behind Su Wen to protect him. Otherwise, how could he, a small buyer, come out of the security department." A slightly mysterious voice replied.
Jia Zhang snorted disdainfully, "Big shot? What kind of big shot would protect him? I think it's probably because he did something shameful that someone helped him."
At this time, Old Man Li, who had been silent on the side, sighed, "Hey, this Su Wen usually seems quite honest, I didn't expect that he would cause such a thing. But, who in this world can know What are others thinking?"
Jia Zhang immediately retorted: "Huh, be honest? I feel sick when I look at people like him. Such people should be kicked out of the courtyard, so as not to affect the harmony of our place."
Jia Zhang's words caused a burst of approval.
"That's right, when this kid moved into our courtyard, I thought he was not a good person. He is always mysterious and mysterious. There must be something wrong with him." Sister-in-law Wang, who lives in the wing of the courtyard, also agreed.
At this time, Zhao Tiezhu, who had been silent next to him, stood up. He was a veteran who lived in the east wing of the front yard. He had a straightforward personality and could not stand those who talked behind their backs.
Zhao Tiezhu snorted, "I think you just have nothing to do when you're full. You talk about this and that every day. Su Wen has been released from the security department, so naturally there will be no problem. If there is a problem, you can't get out."
Jia Zhang immediately retorted: "Why, do you still want to speak for him? Let me tell you, I heard that he has contacts with some big shots, and maybe he did something shameful."
Zhao Tiezhu glared at Jia Zhang, "What evidence do you have? Don't just talk nonsense."
Not to be outdone, Jia Zhang said, "I just said, what can you do to me?"
Zhao Tiezhu was speechless for a moment. Although he had a straightforward personality, he was not the kind of person who liked to make trouble unreasonably. He was helpless when faced with the unreasonable and troublesome Jia Zhang.
Old Man Li also stood up to smooth things over, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Time will tell whether there is something wrong with Su Wen. As neighbors, we should all say a few words less. Master, please say a few words too. Don't let this happen. They were arguing."
At this time, Yi Zhonghai was holding Yi Xiaobao and playing with the child. He was completely immersed in his own world and did not hear what Old Man Li said at all.
Old Man Li shook his head helplessly, thinking that this Yi Zhonghai seemed to have changed since he adopted two children. He no longer cared about the things in the yard and only cared about entertaining his children.
Old Li was about to turn around and leave when he saw Yi Xiaobao looking up at him and giggling. The laughter made Old Li feel better, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch Yi Xiaobao's head.
"This kid is so cute." Old Man Li said with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai raised his head and saw Old Man Li playing with his children, with a grateful smile on his face, "Yes, with these two children, I feel that life has become meaningful."
Old Man Li nodded, "Yes, children are the hope of the future. However, don't just take care of the children. You should also pay more attention to things in the yard."
Yi Zhonghai sighed, "I know, but I really don't have time. Let's wait until the child is older."
Old Man Li couldn't say much. After all, raising children is indeed a hard job. He had no choice but to nod, turned and left. Old Man Li returned to his room and couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.
Su Wen also vaguely heard the Zhongyuan talking about him at home in the backyard. He knew very well that people in this quadrangle were keen on gossip and rumors. Just when Su Wen was hesitant to come forward to clarify, his wife came over with the child for him to hold.
He hugged the child and teased it gently. Looking at the child's innocent smile, Su Wen's doubts and worries seemed to be washed away by this smile. He knows that it is better to focus on his own life than to care about other people's rumors.
Wang Qianqian looked at Su Wen's expression and asked gently: "What are you thinking about?"
Su Wen smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think the children are the most important thing."
The daughter-in-law nodded, "Yes, as long as we live our lives well, nothing else matters."
Su Wen looked at his wife, filled with gratitude, "Yes."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the rumors outside seemed to disappear.
The next morning, Su Wen got up early and saw that his mother-in-law had already gotten up and was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of her house. "Mom, I don't have to make breakfast today. I went out to buy fried dough sticks and tofu to eat. I haven't eaten in several days and I'm a little bit greedy."
"Okay, just buy two portions, you and Qianqian can eat, and I can just make some for myself."
"Mom, let's eat fried dough sticks together. You can eat the dough sticks by yourself, while Qianqian and I eat fried dough sticks. It looks so ugly. People who don't know may think we are abusing you."
After listening to Su Wen's words, mother-in-law Wang Li said with a smile, "Well, I haven't eaten fried dough sticks for a long time, so I will have a splurge today."
Su Wen smiled, picked up a big ocean bowl and turned out of the door. The weather today is particularly good, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle. He walked along the familiar street to the breakfast stall he usually went to. When he met people he knew on the way, he nodded and said hello.
When he came to the breakfast stall, Su Wen bought two kilograms of fried dough sticks and three servings of tofu. He picked some side dishes and put them into the big bowl of tofu.
Back home, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dressing the child. When she saw Su Wen coming back, she went up to him and said, "Awen, it's a waste of money to buy so much and not be able to finish it all."
Su Wen smiled and said: "Mom, let's improve the food today. Don't be reluctant to eat a good meal. We three adults can definitely finish it if we eat with open stomachs."
Wang Qianqian also came over. She looked at Su Wen and said, "Mom, Su Wen has bought it. You can eat it with peace of mind. Don't be reluctant to part with it."
After hearing this, the mother-in-law looked at the fried dough sticks and tofu bread on the table, then looked at Su Wen, with a smile on her lips, "Okay, I will listen to you today, eat quickly."
After breakfast, Su Wen and Wang Qianqian went to work together. Wang Qianqian was transferred from the Finance Department because of Su Wen's investigation and was assigned to work at the Factory Women's Federation, so she was very free.
Arriving at the factory gate, Wang Qianqian suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Su Wen: "Actually, this transfer is quite good. After leaving the Finance Department, my job is very relaxed now, and I have time to knit sweaters. You Please also apply for a job transfer. I heard Sister Wu from the Women's Federation say that the difficult period of the Procurement Department has passed. From now on, the Procurement Department will be very profitable and many people will be watching."
"Qianqian, I need time to think carefully before making a decision. Don't worry, I will be fine."
