Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 290 Transaction Failed
Tang Qiyue looked at Zhan Zeye, but Zhan Zeye didn't help the big boss. Instead, he sneered, "You're very insidious!"

Big shot: ...

He knew Zhan Zeye was a scoundrel, but he never expected him to be so utterly inhuman.

However, thinking about what he had done in Asia and Europe, he was too lazy to argue with him. Instead, he looked at Tang Qiyue and said, "Comrade Tang, I was able to voluntarily be arrested because I came here with sincerity!"

Tang Qiyue did not believe it.

She directly exposed the big boss's intention: "If you hadn't failed to capture me before, I wouldn't have appeared here on my own!"

She believed that the big boss had a way to leave the military region, though he would have to pay a price, but that was none of her business.

Tang Qiyue's concerns were never about the transaction itself, but rather about things that made her unhappy.

The big shot was a little embarrassed, but he pretended not to understand and continued talking about the transaction.

Zhan Zeye knew Tang Qiyue's personality and wasn't in a hurry.

Even after the big shot offered many benefits, Tang Qiyue remained unmoved.

The fact that the other party was able to find her means that they investigated very thoroughly. Since they investigated thoroughly, they should know that what she has is never something that an individual can decide.

Finally, Tang Qiyue looked at the big boss with a puzzled expression: "Are you really unaware or are you pretending? I have the country behind me. Do you think I would bypass the country and trade with you personally for something you want to trade?"

The bigwig sighed: "We've asked around, and as long as you agree, we can make the deal!"

It turned out to be the case.

Tang Qiyue understood.

It's likely that the old leader had no other choice but to push her out.

"No deal!"

Tang Qiyue refused outright and showed no intention of continuing, getting up and leaving immediately.

The big boss got anxious and wanted Zhan Zeye to help, but Zhan Zeye said he was powerless to do so.

He always followed Tang Qiyue's arrangements.

The big shot criticized Zhan Zeye as a henpecked husband and someone who couldn't stand up for himself.

Unfortunately, Zhan Zeye didn't care about these words.

When Tang Qiyue came out, she saw that Zhan Zeye was still inside. She guessed that he had something to say, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him and instead went to wander around the market outside the military region.

Since she had come all this way, she really needed to replenish her supplies so that she wouldn't be running out of candy when she returned to the island.

He used all the candy tickets and other things he had on him before returning home satisfied.

Although Zhan Zeye did not accompany Tang Qiyue, he still arranged for Lao Guan to send someone with Tang Qiyue, mainly to help carry her things.

It's not that Tang Qiyue can't carry it all, it's that there's too much of it and it's difficult to handle.

The couple checked the time and knew it was time to go back.

The two went to the dock, where a boat was already waiting.

Back on the island, Tang Qiyue distributed a lot of the things she had bought to the children. As she was about to tidy up and go to bed, she saw her mother coming over.

Tang's mother brought her little girl over, handed her over to her three grandsons to play with, and then pulled Tang Qiyue into the inner room to talk.

"Mother, what happened that you came so late?"

Tang Qiyue knew her mother too well; if there was nothing wrong, she wouldn't have come so late.

During this time, Zhan's mother ran a noodle shop, and Tang's mother had her own tailor shop; both were very busy and had almost no time to take care of her.

Tang's mother sighed and, without beating around the bush, directly stated her purpose.

"Your Uncle Wang wanted me to ask when he can go back to his hometown?"

Tang Qiyue was surprised. When she brought the person over, she had said that the conditions for leaving the island were very strict, and an agreement had been signed that the person could not leave until the island was open to the public.

"What happened?"

Tang Qiyue thought that Uncle Wang was always cheerful, either taking care of his little sister or cooking in the cafeteria, and he never seemed to have any worries.

"It's because Bai Xu hasn't been looking for a partner. Your Uncle Wang is probably worried that there's something wrong with his ancestral graves. He wants to go back and burn some paper money for his ancestors to see if he can change Bai Xu's mind!"

Tang Qiyue: ...

She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected it to be like this.

I really want to laugh but don't know how.

“Brother Xu is already an adult. He knows exactly what he needs to do. If you’re in a hurry to take care of your grandson, you can totally raise my little sister as your granddaughter!”

They're all about the same age.

Bai Xu is even more obsessed with research than Tang Xiuyuan. As we've talked before, he's prepared to dedicate his life to scientific research and has no intention of starting a family.

If we force him to get married now, we don't know if it will backfire on him.

As the younger sister, Tang Qiyue couldn't interfere too much in her brother's marriage; she could only help appease their parents.

"What do you know? How can that be the same? Bai Xu is such a good young man. If he never settles down, what will happen to him when he gets old?"

The thought of Bai Xu growing old and being all alone made Tang's mother feel uneasy.

Tang Qiyue really wanted to tell her that this was not a problem at all.

"But he won't take care of his family after marriage. Wouldn't that be ruining the girl's life? Mom, you should ask Xu-ge about this. Don't do anything rash!"

It could really cause a problem if things aren't handled properly.

Tang's mother still insisted on asking if Uncle Wang could go back for a visit.

She only asked this question because she saw that Tang Qiyue was able to leave the island several times.

Fearing that her mother might cause trouble, Tang Qiyue stated directly, "Impossible. Zhan Zeyi and I were able to leave the island because of work requirements, not because we wanted to go out!"

Tang's mother didn't believe it, but she knew her daughter's temper and was going to ask Zhan Zeye.

Zhan Zeye gave the same answer as Tang Qiyue.

"Now, feudal superstitions are forbidden. If you want to worship your ancestors, you can do it at home. We don't mind it here on the island, but it's not allowed outside the island!"

Zhan Zeye offered a reminder.

Tang's mother then realized that life on the island had been too comfortable, causing her to forget the chaos outside.

Having failed before, Tang's mother left her youngest daughter with Tang Qiyue and went home.

Tang Qiyue felt helpless, but she didn't want to coax the child. Fortunately, the little girl didn't need her to coax her and just slept with Zhan Chunying.

"What do you think my mother is after? So what if Xu Ge doesn't get married?"

When Tang Qiyue was resting at night, she lay on the bed and asked Zhan Zeye a question.

Zhan Zeye told her about the time when he didn't want to get married.

"At that time, my mother was just as anxious as your mother. If it weren't for the fact that I was in the army, she might have dragged me back to go on blind dates. If it weren't for the fear that she would make too much of a fuss, I wouldn't have been tricked by the old commander into having a fiancée!"

Tang Qiyue had never asked about this matter, so naturally she didn't know how Zhan Zeye and Tang Chunlan's engagement came about.

"Didn't you say that you were the one who approved your engagement?"

Tang Qiyue was curious, and since she couldn't sleep anyway, she asked.

Zhan Zeye scoffed: "How could it be that I nodded in agreement? I was on a mission at the time and had no idea. It was my mother who heard that the old commander was acting as matchmaker and agreed without even asking about the situation!"

Tang Qiyue asked in surprise, "Did you lose contact with them around that time?"
