"Who are you?" Inspector Li Cai'e asked arrogantly. 0
"She is the inspector sent by the Textile Factory in town, Li Cai'e," the village chief introduced. 0
"Oh, it's Inspector Wang. My apologies," Chen Shuying replied politely. 0
"Don't give me that nonsense; I'm here to evaluate you," Li Cai'e said dismissively. 0
"I understand. May I ask what questions you have?" Chen Shuying responded with restraint. 0
"What qualifications do you have to work at the Textile Factory?" Li Cai'e questioned critically. 0
"I..." Chen Shuying began to defend herself. 0
"What do you mean 'I'? You're a divorced woman with a child; what can you do?" Li Cai'e pressed. 0
"I..." Chen Shuying hesitated again. 0
"I warn you, if you go to the Textile Factory, don't even think about slacking off," Li Cai'e warned. 0
"I know," Chen Shuying said quietly. 0
"That's good to hear," Li Cai'e snorted coldly. 0
"Inspector Li, Chen Shuying was recommended for the position at the Textile Factory; it has nothing to do with the village," the village chief interjected in defense. 0
"Yes, Inspector Li, Chen Shuying was specially approved by the Textile Factory; our village did not recommend her," Captain echoed. 0
"What do you mean by that?" Li Cai'e asked displeased. 0
"We just want to inform you that Chen Shuying is specifically wanted by the Textile Factory; don't go too far," the village chief said sternly. 0
"I..." Li Cai'e was momentarily speechless. 0
"Inspector Li, don't forget that this time the Textile Factory has given our village two spots; if you go too far, we will give the other spot to someone else," Captain threatened. 0
"You dare," Li Cai'e said angrily. 0
"Let's see if we dare," the village chief replied assertively. 0
"You... you're bullying people," Li Cai'e complained. 0
"We're just speaking the truth," Captain snorted coldly. 0
"You all... hmph." Li Cai'e was so furious she couldn't speak. 0
"Inspector Li, our villagers are not easy to bully," the village chief warned. 0
"I... I realize my mistake; I won't target her anymore," Li Cai'e conceded. 0
"That's more like it," Captain said with satisfaction. 0
"Shuying, don't be afraid; with us here, she won't dare to do anything to you," the village chief reassured her. 0
"Thank you, village chief, thank you, Captain," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude. 0
"Shuying, since you've already met Inspector Li, you should head back early," the village chief suggested. 0
"Okay," Chen Shuying nodded in agreement. 0
"Inspector Li, if you don't mind, you're welcome to come over to my house for a visit," Chen Shuying invited. 0
"Sure," Li Cai'e readily agreed. 0
"Then let's go together," Chen Shuying said politely. 0
"Alright," Li Cai'e nodded in response. 0
 
Then, Chen Shuying led Li Cai'e and her coworkers away from the village chief's home. 0
 
 
"Who is that girl?" Li Cai'e asked curiously. 0
"She is my neighbor, named Zhang Xiaoxiao," Chen Shuying introduced. 0
"Zhang Xiaoxiao? That's quite an interesting name," Li Cai'e laughed. 0
"Yes, she has always loved to smile since she was born, so her parents named her Zhang Xiaoxiao," Chen Shuying explained. 0
"I see," Li Cai'e said, realizing. 0
"Yes, she is a person who loves to laugh," Chen Shuying smiled. 0
"She is also quite beautiful," Li Cai'e praised. 0
"Yes, she is the prettiest girl in our village," Chen Shuying said proudly. 0
"Does she have a boyfriend?" Li Cai'e asked gossipingly. 0
"She is already married," Chen Shuying replied. 0
"Oh, what a pity," Li Cai'e lamented. 0
"It is quite a pity," Chen Shuying agreed. 0
"Is Zhang Xiaoxiao's husband good to her?" Li Cai'e asked curiously. 0
"Yes, he treats her very well," Chen Shuying nodded. 0
"That's good to hear," Li Cai'e said with relief. 0
"My house is just ahead," Chen Shuying said. 0
"You've built a nice house," Li Cai'e complimented. 0
"It's okay," Chen Shuying modestly replied. 0
"You must have spent quite a bit on this house," Li Cai'e envied. 0
"It's not too bad; it was all helped by relatives and friends," Chen Shuying said politely. 0
"I'm really envious of you," Li Cai'e admitted. 0
"You will have your own house in the future too," Chen Shuying comforted her. 0
"I hope so," Li Cai'e said dreamily. 0
"We've arrived; this is it," Chen Shuying announced. 0
"This house is really beautiful," Li Cai'e praised again. 0
"Please come in," Chen Shuying invited. 0
"Okay," Li Cai'e responded. 0
Then, they all entered Chen Shuying's home together. 0
Chen Shuying showed Li Cai'e and her coworkers around her house. 0
"Chen Shuying, your house is really well built," Li Cai'e admired. 0
"It's alright," Chen Shuying replied modestly again. 0
"If you work at the Textile Factory and earn more in the future, you could build another one," Li Cai'e suggested. 0
"I will work hard for that," Chen Shuying said determinedly. 0
"You can do it!" Li Cai'e encouraged her. 0
"I will," Chen Shuying nodded confidently. 0
"It's getting late; we should head back now," Li Cai'e said. 0
"Alright, take care on your way back," Chen Shuying said politely. 0
 
 
"Goodbye," Li Cai'e waved and said. 0
"Goodbye," Chen Shuying replied. 0
After seeing off Li Cai'e, Chen Shuying let out a sigh of relief. 0
"Mom, those aunts are so fierce," Xiao Liang said. 0
"They're not bad people; they just speak a bit loudly," Chen Shuying explained. 0
"Oh," Xiao Liang responded, confused. 0
"Xiao Liang, if you have the chance to go to the city in the future, you should speak loudly like those aunts, okay?" Chen Shuying taught. 0
"Why?" Xiao Liang asked, puzzled. 0
"Because that's how people in the city are," Chen Shuying said. 0
"I understand now," Xiao Liang replied obediently. 0
"Good," Chen Shuying said with satisfaction. 0
A few days later, Chen Shuying's house was finally repaired. 0
Chen Shuying moved into the new home with Xiao Liang. 0
Zhang Xiaoxiao also came to celebrate the housewarming party. 0
On the way home, Zhang Xiaoxiao ran into Uncle Luo from the village. 0
"Zhang Xiaoxiao, have you heard if Zhao Guangcai has any new ways to make money recently?" Uncle Luo asked. 0
"No, why?" Zhang Xiaoxiao replied, puzzled. 0
"I haven't seen him go hunting in a long time, nor have I seen him buying or selling livestock in town," Uncle Luo said. 0
"I don't know what he's been busy with lately either," Zhang Xiaoxiao said blankly. 0
"Why don't you two communicate?" Uncle Luo said helplessly. 0
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao started to explain. 0
"He has been working on the farm at home and hasn't gone anywhere," Uncle Luo stated. 0
"He is planning to go far away soon," Zhang Xiaoxiao explained. 0
