Chapter 205 Ma Lan wants to represent the Jia family
Secretary Wan was surprised to hear that Lin Chen was going out to look for materials for the recipe.
"How can this be considered as asking for leave? This is a business trip. You have made some great things now. Chief Wu takes this very seriously. Your medal of honor will be issued at the end of the year... Now all walks of life are supporting the front line, so you can go without worry! There is no limit on the date. You can come back when you are done. Keep the receipts and come back to the Finance Department for reimbursement."
Lin Chen stood up: "Thank you Secretary Wan! I will try to go and come back as soon as possible... I will be back in a week at most."
"Go ahead! I'll arrange for your section chief. Chief Wu said your matter must be kept secret to prevent persecution by enemy agents. No one knows where you're going..."
After Lin Chen left, Secretary Wan said to himself: "I must be a good horse trainer... Good horses are rare. There are many horse trainers in the city, and if I'm not careful, I might let someone else take me away."
……
After Lin Chen left, she went to the security department to find Bai Ling to make some arrangements. She would be gone for a week and had to settle all the rooms. She was the eldest sister and had the responsibility to take good care of her younger sisters...
After hearing about this, Bai Ling also supported Lin Chen to visit Liang Ladi's hometown. Since her daughter had been abducted, he should have visited her long ago.
"Don't worry! With Liu Lan accompanying Huairu, we don't have to worry."
Lin Chen smiled and winked at her: "Well, let's have a meal together before we leave."
Bai Ling understood that he had to feed a few people before leaving... In the past month, Bai Ling found that Lin Chen didn't know how to be tired at all - he was like a wild bull.
"I'm afraid of you. How about tonight? I don't believe I can't cure you..."
Lin Chen looked at her with full fighting spirit: "No problem, I'll go to the front door to get someone now. You can go directly after get off work..."
"I am ready to accompany you to the end at any time. No matter how powerful the Bull Demon King is, Princess Iron Fan will be in charge."
……
After arriving at the front gate, Lin Chen first arranged for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to watch over the tavern and the cloth shop, and to beat up anyone who made trouble...
"Well, we will definitely take good care of Brother Lin, just don't worry."
Lin Chen patted Zhang Long on the shoulder and walked to the backyard...
This is the courtyard
Liu Lan has become accustomed to the life here. Today, due to the bad weather, there is little sunshine... Qin Huairu takes her home to do needlework around the stove.
"Lanzi, have those naughty kids in the yard come to talk to you recently?"
Liu Lan thought about it and
"The old man Liu next door wanted to fetch water for me, but after I scolded him once, he stopped talking to me. The stupid Xu Damao didn't..."
Qin Huairu nodded: "Well, if there is anything wrong, you should tell me or Brother Lin Chen."
Liu Lan smiled sweetly: "I will! They are all ugly and I don't like them. I... I will follow Brother Lin Chen and Sister Huai Ru all my life..."
Qin Huairu was amused... "Well, we don't have much education or skills. We just need to take good care of the family and Brother Lin Chen. When Sister Bai Ling has a child in the future, she will let us take care of it."
"Oh, no problem. I like to serve him. Brother Lin Chen is really good to our family... We don't have to worry about going hungry this winter, and everyone in the family has new cotton-padded clothes to wear."
"It's the same with our Qin family. We are almost the same."
The two sisters talked about their future plans...and laughed from time to time.
……
Intermediate Court
Ma Lan came back from visiting a friend with her son in her arms.
Jia Zhang's face was very ugly, because Ma Lan was playing with the third aunt and Gao. You can still make some money by fooling Sha Zhu, but you can't get close to Gao and Yang.
These are all enemies of the Jia family. My own daughter-in-law is chatting and laughing with them... It is clear that they don't take me seriously.
"I say, Ma Lan, are you the daughter-in-law of the Jia family? Don't you know that they are the enemies of the Jia family?"
Ma Lan looked at her mother-in-law with a disdainful look on her face.
"She is your enemy, Jia Zhang. She has little to do with our Jia family. If I don't talk to the people in the courtyard, do you think there is anyone in the Jia family who can talk? Don't drag your personal grudge into the Jia family... Dongxu and I are here to restore the reputation of the Jia family."
Jia Zhang immediately got angry when she heard this. Ma Lan actually wanted to represent the Jia family. Isn't this obviously trying to seize power? I am the representative of the Jia family... Who do you think you are? I gave you the financial power, but now you want to take away the person who makes the decisions.
"Humph, you, a newly married young wife, dare to represent the Jia family. Do you think you can overwhelm me with a sneak attack and a large number of people? Let me tell you, our business is not over yet."
Ma Lan also looked at her with a cold expression...
"It's not over yet, you actually want to find someone to attack the Ma family... I haven't settled this matter with you yet."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are now at loggerheads, and neither of them will give in. Ma Lan won't fight a fight she isn't sure of. She knows that Jia Zhang is quite strong, so she just holds on to the stick and won't let go... She'll just talk to Jia Zhang and wait for the chance to pin her down.
"Ma, if you have the guts to put my eldest grandson down, I'll see if I'm afraid of you."
"If you have the guts, just hit me. Don't do anything useless. I can hold my son however I like..."
Jia Zhang stamped her feet in anger...but there was nothing she could do.
……
Evening
As the workers got off work one after another, the courtyard suddenly became lively.
As soon as Sha Zhu entered the middle courtyard, he saw Ma Lan fetching water. He hurriedly ran over happily.
"Sister Lan, I'll take you home..."
Ma Lan did not refuse. Since the silly boy was willing to do it, why not?... Jia Zhang was going against the whole hospital, so there was no need for her to do so.
"Well, Bang Geng will be waking up soon. I'll just go check on you and send you to the kitchen!"
Sha Zhu knew that Jia Dongxu would be back in a few minutes, so he didn't dare to stay. After delivering the bucket, he left with a smile.
"Zhu Zi is really smart and knows how to help his sister-in-law..."
Sha Zhu stared at Ma Lan's chest and laughed: "It's just a small matter. It just happened to happen!"
Ma Lan rolled her eyes at him after noticing: "Get lost! If you keep looking around, I'll let Brother Dongxu beat you up. You're so young and yet you're so naughty..."
Sha Zhu ran away happily. He was now thinking about how nice it would be if he could let the other person touch him someday.
Looking at Sha Zhu's cheerful back, Ma Lan thought that if she gave him a little sweetness, this guy would be useful...
In the east room opposite, Yi Zhonghai, who also came back from get off work early, saw this scene.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Sha Zhu who came out of the kitchen in the west room...
Yi Zhonghai seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed.
"The vegetable cellar incident was caused by the He family and their son. I will give you a tooth for a tooth. The He family wants to marry their daughter-in-law - dream on!"
Yi Zhonghai has already memorized this scene, and he has never forgotten the matter of revenge.
Sure enough, a few minutes later Jia Dongxu came back with Liu Haizhong, and Ma Lan started to complain aggrievedly.
When Jia Dongxu heard that his mother didn't allow his wife to interact with people in the courtyard... he immediately became anxious.
"I'll go talk to her. She's offended so many people, does she want us to offend them too?"
Ma Lan saw Jia Dongxu come into the kitchen to ask his mother for an explanation, and she smiled again...
"Although my appearance is not outstanding, I still have some skills. I can't catch Chief Lin, but these guys can't do it?"
Ma Lan had been without parents since she was five or six years old, and she grew up with her brothers and sisters-in-law. She had long been used to wild things... She had seen everything, and it was not Jia Dongxu's turn to pick any pretty girl.
