After getting out of the car, Li Zhen stepped into the courtyard gate, followed by Qi Yihan with his head lowered and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Director Qi..." Luo Chen stopped the car, lowered the window and called Qi Yihan loudly.

Qi Yihan walked over and Luo Chen said, "Get in the car..."

Luo Chen and Qi Yihan were comrades in the army and retired at the same time. Although they are now superiors and subordinates, they usually get along more like brothers. The tone used at this time is not secretary to factory director, but closeness between brothers.

Hearing that Luo Chen was looking for him on personal matters, Qi Yihan turned around and glanced at Li Zhen. Just when Li Zhen heard the noise, he stopped and turned around to look over. The moment their eyes met, Li Zhen felt an inexplicable feeling.

Watching Qi Yihan get into the car, Luo Chen waved to her and drove away. Li Zhen looked at the direction the car was driving and frowned.

If she guessed correctly, Dean Liang should have gone to visit the frightened Xu Zhan's mother after sending her and Qi Yihan back. Now that Luo Chen has picked up Qi Yihan, he should be headed to Xu Zhan's house. Could it be that Dean Liang asked Luo Chen to go to Xu Zhan's house? Chen came to pick up Qi Yihan?

Then I thought about it and thought it was impossible. Luo Chen looked easy-going but actually didn't listen to anyone except Qi Yihan. It was just a dream for a leader who had no control over him to command him.

If it's not Dean Liang, then Xu Zhan wants to see Qi Yihan?

But she could see from the way Xu Zhan looked at Qi Yihan in the past that although the two were related as deputy factory director and factory director, it was obvious that Xu Zhan was not convinced by Qi Yihan. What could Xu Zhan do that would make Luo Chen listen? Come to pick up Qi Yihan at his words?

Moreover, she was the wife of a furniture factory director. Even though her painting skills were beyond the times, it was still too unconventional for her to be so strict that even her family members were alarmed.

It was impossible for Li Zhen not to think more about these unusual combinations, but she couldn't think of the reason even if she thought about it.

It happened that Xu Zhanniang was ill, so it made sense for her to visit the patient. It was better to go to Xu Zhan's house to check on the situation.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen turned around and entered the house.

Zhang Guilan holds all the money in the family, and he is obsessed with good things. Li Zhen wants to take things to visit patients, but if he asks Zhang Guilan for them, it will kill her.

Fortunately, Li Zhen himself usually took on private jobs in exchange for pocket money and had a large treasury, so he didn't have to ask Zhang Guilan for money at this time.

As soon as Li Zhen entered the door, Zhang Guilan and Qi Lian, who were sitting together and talking, immediately shut up. The two glanced at Li Zhen, one eating melon seeds and the other reading a book, treating Li Zhen as air.

Being regarded as a suspect, the family would do anything to clear the relationship. Turning a blind eye was considered a relatively kind attitude. Li Zhen also ignored his mother and went straight to his room.

After closing the door, Li Zhen opened the closet door and took out five yuan from the inner pocket of the maroon woolen coat hanging in the closet.

Li Zhen had many places to hide money, and the ones hidden in her clothes were all small coins. Qi Yihan had set rules for her and Qi Yihan's rooms. No one was allowed to enter the house without the consent of the couple, and Qi Yihan also She never messes with her stuff, so it's safe to hide.

Li Zhen came back and went out immediately. Qi Lian knew without asking that Li Zhen was back to get something.

Looking at Li Zhen coming out of the house empty-handed, he must have taken money.

"Mom, where did my sister-in-law get the money?" Qilian asked, staring at Li Zhen's back as he walked toward the courtyard door.

Zhang Guilan didn't take it seriously at first, but she felt it when Qilian asked her.

"Where does she have money..."

At this point, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and Qilian's expression changed.

"Isn't it exchanged for something?"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Guilan scolded. If that were true, wouldn't it be a slap in her son's face? How can that work.

"Maybe your brother didn't take out the bonus when he got it, so he secretly gave it to her."

Qilian curled her lips, "Why give it to her? She's just sitting around at home without making a penny and spending it randomly..."

Saying that, Qi Lian glanced at the back room and encouraged Zhang Guilan, "Mom, why don't we go in and look for it? She must have hidden the money."

Li Zhen was as bored as a gourd, and even when he was angry, he was stuffy in his stomach. Zhang Guilan never worried about his daughter-in-law, but her heart would beat hard when her son frowned.

"No."

Zhang Guilan refused without thinking, and kept an eye on Qi Lian to prevent her from messing around.

Qilian did not dare to offend her brother, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​emptying Li Zhen's small treasury.

Dean Liang left ten yuan for Xu Zhanniang to see a doctor, and told Xu Zhanniang to recover before going back to take care of the children, and then left.

When Qi Yihan and Luo Chen arrived, Xu Zhang had just seen off Dean Liang and was standing at the door waiting for them.

Seeing Qi Yihan, Xu Zhan had a strange expression, apologetic, entangled, and somewhat incomprehensible anger.

"Go in and talk."

Xu Zhan led the way, and the three of them entered the east wing.

Xu Zhanniang lay on the glass window of the main room and looked out. Her old eyes on her weather-beaten face were darkened by the sunlight. After the three people entered, she closed the door and forced her weak body to move under the kang.

After closing the door, Xu Zhan knelt down in front of Qi Yihan with a bang.

They were all men who had served in the military. Except for kneeling to the sky and kneeling to their parents, no one could subjugate the iron-bone Zhengzheng. There must be a reason for Xu Zhan to kneel to him suddenly. Qi Yihan did not shy away, waiting for Xu Zhan to speak.

"Lao Qi, I'm sorry for you..."

Qi Yihan lowered his eyes, expressionless.

"Is it because you threw cold water on Li Zhen and now that she helped you, you feel sorry for Li Zhen, so you come to me to admit your mistake?"

Xu Zhan suddenly raised his head in shock, "You know everything?"

Qi Yihan said nothing, Luo Chen spoke first.

"Do you think Lao Qi won't care if someone harms my sister-in-law?"

"Then...this..." Xu Zhan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qi Yihan remained cold and silent, and did not let Xu Zhan get up.

Xu Zhanzhong lowered his head again and was speechless for a long time.

Even though Xu Zhan always held his neck against Qi Yihan, Qi Yihan always valued the friendship between comrades. When he found out that it was Xu Zhan who was responsible for Li Zhen's attack, Qi Yihan was so angry that he punched the mouth of the bowl and broke it. Although the tree was thick, he still told him to hide the matter. He didn't even tell Li Zhen. Luo Chen asked Xu Zhan in a disappointed tone.

"Why did you do that?"

Xu Zhan's face turned red and his neck was thick from holding it in. He stopped talking several times, which made Luo Chen angry.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. You're not an old woman, so why are you so coy?"

Xu Zhan's face turned purple when he was told that, and he blurted out, "I'm venting my anger on Lao Qi."

Luo Chen sneered, "Who are you fooling? When you were in the army, you were dissatisfied that Lao Qi was doing everything for you. After demobilization, Lao Qi became your immediate boss. Let alone venting his anger for Lao Qi, even if you were doing him a favor I'm not surprised at all."

"I admit that what you said is right..." Xu Zhan raised his hand to wipe his face and continued, "But what I said is true, Lao Qi, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't have hidden it from you and not let you know... Li Zhen...she is not clear with other men, I just can't stand it, and I can't talk about it nonsense, so I did such a stupid thing in a hot head."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Luo Chen looked worriedly at Qi Yihan, whose face was hidden in the darkness.

Xu Zhan pointed to the sky and swore, "It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. No matter how unconvinced I am by Lao Qi, I can't make up such nonsense. Why is Lao Qi looking at Li Zhen and all of us? How can I bear it?" Let this woman bully Lao Qi in this tone."
