Chapter 554 Did anything happen when you came back?
Using the firewood I had collected from the Ge family, I fenced off a plot of land near the foot of the mountain in the Danshui area, put the chicks in, and casually picked a cabbage from the vegetable garden, tearing off the leaves for the chicks to peck at.

In this way, the chicks can roam up the mountain, but they cannot enter the land she cultivates.

After she finished doing all this with her mind and was about to walk forward again, she heard the sound of a car. When she turned around, she saw that the shuttle bus had been repaired.

I flagged it down, showed my ticket after boarding, and was about to sit on the hood when I noticed there was an empty seat in the middle.

Without asking any further questions, he went straight over and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, the woman sitting by the window looked at her and asked, "Are you Deputy Battalion Commander Fu's fiancée?"

Chu Xue turned her head and looked over: "Yes, who are you?"

The woman laughed: "My name is Ma Lijuan, and my husband is the deputy regimental commander of the First Regiment."

Fu Yancheng hadn't mentioned anything about the group to her, so he simply smiled and replied, "Hello, Sister-in-law Gong."

Ma Lijuan smiled and said, "We saw you from afar at noon, but we were too embarrassed to go over and bother you."

Chu Xue asked, somewhat puzzled, "At noon, in the cafeteria?"

Ma Lijuan nodded with a smile: "Yes."

After chatting, Chu Xue learned that the deputy regimental commander's sister-in-law had a job in the city and only came over on weekends. Her two children also lived with her in the city. This week, the school organized a farm study trip, which was why she didn't come back to the family compound with them.

Ma Lijuan explained, "The children weren't home today, so I did a thorough cleaning of the house. We didn't cook lunch and ate at the cafeteria instead."

"Where does your sister-in-law work?"

"I work at the tax bureau near Dongzhimen."

"Oh, then we're not far apart."

Ma Lijuan was a little confused. She had heard her husband mention at noon that Deputy Battalion Commander Fu's fiancée was from the countryside of Changping. What did she mean by that?

Seeing her reaction, Chu Xue understood what she was thinking and proactively said, "I work at a steel rolling mill." This piqued Ma Lijuan's interest: "Which department?"

Chu Xue didn't hide anything: "Finance Department."

Upon hearing that it was in the finance department, Ma Lijuan asked, "Which department?"

When Chu Xue heard her question, she thought to herself, "Could it be that the steel mill is under their jurisdiction?" But she still answered the question: "Under Section Chief Li of Section One."

Ma Lijuan said with a regretful expression, "We are in charge of liaising with the Second Department of your factory."

After learning that Chuxue had a formal job in the city, Ma Lijuan became even more enthusiastic and told her a lot about the family compound, especially about the difficult and troublesome family members in the compound. She told her all about them: "Although you may not live in the family compound often like me in the future, you still need to know these things."

Chu Xue just smiled and remained silent, after all, she and Fu Yancheng were not married yet.

From the conversations along the way, Chu Xue could tell that although this sister-in-law of Deputy Regiment Commander Gong was a nice person, she wasn't as genuine as Sister Tao, whom she had met on the way here.

The reason she was able to tell me so much was probably to help her husband win over Fu Yancheng, and also because she knew I had a job, which is why she talked so much. You could tell from her eyes.

Since she gained access to her own space, she has been able to sense which people are genuine and which are not, and even those who are hostile towards her.

The impression she got from this Sister Gong was that she was someone she could befriend, but not someone she could become close to.

They chatted all the way and soon entered the city. They got off the bus together and boarded the same bus, agreeing to visit each other more often. They got off the bus one after the other.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Duan Ruirui standing not far away, talking to a man. It seemed like there was a rainbow of love between them, and it looked like she was about to fall in love.

I couldn't help but feel happy for Duan Ruirui, since the final solution to her current situation would probably have to be marriage.

Not wanting to disturb the two of them, she went around to the other side of the road and came back when she was almost at the factory gate. When she got back to the dormitory, she saw Ji Kunlan there as well: "What's going on? Why are you back in the dormitory so early?"

Ji Kunlan asked mysteriously, "Did anything happen when you came back?"
