A woman in her 70s marries a rough-looking man; her plump wife is too delicate and alluring.

Sheng Yuze peeled an orange and handed it to He Zhaoyang, then continued to ask the three people on the ground, "Is the younger brother you mentioned the Administrator Shi?"

Shi Ping was about to shake his head when Li Xiangxiang interrupted him, "Yes, it's him."

He Zhaoyang took the orange, broke off a segment, and popped it into his mouth, mumbling, "You certainly know how to defend your son."

Sheng Yuze seemed to laugh in exasperation, "Oh? Well, your whole family really got involved."

One manages the production brigade, one manages the factory, and one manages the household. Does the Shi family think they can do whatever they want in this village?

Li Xiangxiang smiled ingratiatingly, "Platoon leader, we didn't mean that."

He Zhaoyang sat up impatiently, stuffed the remaining oranges into his mouth, and looked at Shi Ping and the other two.

"Weren't you quite the smooth talker just now? The deputy director's daughter, you're doing the factory work too, you're also trying to win over Liu Hongmei, and you're still thinking about marrying me? You fickle thing, which of your legs is truly firmly planted on the ground?"

When Sheng Yuze heard that Shi Ping actually wanted to marry He Zhaoyang, he even had murderous intent.

He Zhaoyang clapped his hands. "Alright, stop wasting their breath."

Turning to Sheng Yuze and Xiao Zhou, he said, "Send them directly to the police station. Those who need to be interrogated should be interrogated, and those who need to be sentenced should be sentenced. Xiao Zhou, tell the police if any supplementary materials are needed. Don't let any of them be overlooked—illegal sexual relations, domestic violence, rape, abandonment."

Sheng Yuze nodded, glanced at the three of them, and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Xiao Zhou stood up. "Then I'll go get the car. Uncle Liu, you'll come with me to the police station to make a statement in a bit."

Liu Wei: "Okay, sure."

As Xiao Zhou drove the police station to the station, Sheng Yuze walked up to him, his eyes sweeping over Shi Ping with a vicious glare. "That guy, let him go to the police station half-dead. If anyone asks, just say I beat him up."

Shi Ping struggled to get out of the car, shouting, "You, surnamed Sheng, how dare you!"

Xiao Zhou turned around and slapped him a few times. "Alright, platoon leader. I've had my eye on this kid for a long time. I'm leaving."

"Hmm." Sheng Yuze watched Xiao Zhou's car drive further and further away before returning to the hospital.

Sheng Yuze stood next to He Zhaoyang and said, "Let's go home and have dinner first. Manager Shi, wait for me to call and deal with him later."

He Zhaoyang glanced at the dark sky, nodded, and said, "Okay."

When they returned home and met, they smelled a delicious fragrance.

He Zhaoyang skipped and hopped into the kitchen and saw Qin Meng and Li Xuanxue frying meatballs. "Wow, it smells so good, Mom and Sister-in-law!"

Qin Meng smiled, "You're back."

Li Xuanxue pointed to a small bowl on the table, which was full of chive balls. "Look, Mom said that they definitely wouldn't let you eat fried balls when you were at the He family's house, so I prepared some for you to eat now."

"Thank you, Mother." He Zhaoyang took one and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lighting up with delight. "It's so delicious!"

Qin Meng laughed, "If you like it, go out to eat. You've been busy all day and you're tired. The kitchen isn't busy either."

He Zhaoyang said "Okay" and went out. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Sheng Yuze on the phone.

"Yes, that administrator in Shijia Village, please check the subsidies that passed through his hands. Hmm, I suspect he's embezzling. You'd better investigate as soon as possible. Thanks for your help."

After finishing, he saw He Zhaoyang come out with a bowl of meatballs. He went over, took one, and popped it into his mouth. "These are still the best."

He Zhaoyang puffed out his cheeks. "This was specially saved for me by Mother!"

Sheng Yuze awkwardly touched his nose. "It's okay, my sister-in-law and mother must have left some for me. I'll go and give you all of mine."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen, but returned shortly afterward with nothing in his hands.

"Where are my meatballs?" He Zhaoyang asked.

Sheng Yuze pretended to be aggrieved and said, "My mother and sister-in-law didn't leave any for me."

He Zhaoyang chuckled and handed him the bowl, "Alright, here's half for you."

Sheng Yuze took a meatball with delight. "Really?"

He Zhaoyang ate a meatball and chewed it. "Eat it if I give it to you."

In her eyes, Sheng Yuze had already given her enough agate and money, so sharing some meatballs with him was no big deal.

After dinner, the Sheng family sat in the main room listening to what the Shi family was doing.

Sheng Kaiyuan was furious and envious. "He's a real piece of work."

Qin Meng never expected that someone would be living such a miserable life.

Upon hearing that the child's biological mother was a woman with a tragic past, Li Xuanxue's tears streamed down her face. "Brother, they must be severely punished."

Sheng Yuze nodded. "The person has already been handed over to the police. Shi Ping's job at the factory is definitely out of the question. The investigation into his deputy director's daughter will be very thorough. The factory will not keep them."

Shi Xiaoxue can't escape the charges of rape, and Li Xiangxiang can't escape the charges of abandoning her child; it will take at least ten years.

After cleaning up the dishes, He Zhaoyang went back to his room, where Sheng Yuze had already made the bed and heated the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and was already lying down.

He Zhaoyang glared at him, thinking how eager he was to sleep. "Get down."

Sheng Yuze was confused, but still obediently asked, "What's wrong, wife?"

He Zhaoyang did not answer him, but instead took out a ruler and asked him to stretch out his arms to measure his size.

Sheng Yuze swallowed hard as He Zhaoyang suddenly approached, his heart pounding. He could even smell He Zhaoyang's body fragrance.

"Wife, are you going to make me clothes?"

"Yes, your clothes are all done, and the clothes for Young Master Lu and Miss Lu were mailed a few days ago. Yours is the only one left to be sent."

He Zhaoyang took out the dark blue cloth, and used chalk to draw lines and cut the fabric.

Sheng Yuze quickly got onto the bed and sat next to He Zhaoyang, fawning over her by massaging her shoulders. "Wife, is there anything I can do for you?"

He Zhaoyang didn't even look up, handing him the cloth with the lines drawn on it, "Then you can cut the cloth."

Sheng Yuze immediately took it, "Okay."

Then he bent down and carefully cut along the chalk lines.

He Zhaoyang glanced at it, the corners of his mouth curving slightly, but he didn't say anything.

He Zhaoyang drew all the fabric diagrams with chalk and handed them to Sheng Yuze, who then neatly and efficiently cut the fabric.

He Zhaoyang spread the cut pieces of cloth on the table and took out a large bag of new cotton from the cabinet.

She laid the fabric layer by layer, pressed it flat with her palms, and then took out the sewing machine to sew it.

Sheng Yuze leaned against the headboard and looked at her.

When she lowered her head, wisps of hair fell down her forehead, revealing her serene and beautiful face.

Da da da.

The only sound in the room was the hum of a sewing machine.

"How wonderful," Sheng Yuze thought, "If only time could stand still at this moment."

His eyelids drooped, and he fell asleep without anyone noticing.

I woke up the next day.

Sheng Yuze found himself with someone in his arms. He Zhaoyang had put away his sewing machine at some point and was now asleep in his arms, his face buried in Sheng Yuze's shoulder, his breathing very light.

He stirred slightly, and He Zhaoyang hummed and snuggled closer to him. He didn't want to move, so he lay there for a while longer.

He got up and saw a table full of cotton and fabric, and thought to himself that she must have gone to bed very late.

As soon as Sheng Yuze stepped out of the house, he saw Xiao Zhou sitting in the yard.

Xiao Zhou looked at him with a serious expression. "Platoon Leader Sheng, something's happened."
