"How far are we from the street? Do you have any free time tomorrow? Could you accompany me to the street?" Qin Xue urgently wanted to buy some stuff.
Qin Xue's house lacked many things and was not convenient at all. She needed to find a way to make money. Otherwise, they would starve to death by the time her cheap husband returned.
It was unclear whether Chu Molin hadn't given the money and tickets to the original body or whether she had squandered it all. How had she ended up taking on such a mess?
Fang Hong got the tickets and gave them to Qin Xue. "Take this money, too. Just pay me back when Chu Molin returns.
You can take the research institute's shuttle to the street. Let me accompany you tomorrow. I originally planned to clean your house with Yu Xiu, but we can postpone it since we're going to the street. I'll let Yu Xiu know."
Seeing Qin Xue's situation, Fang Hong hesitated to take the money. Her family wasn't wealthy, but with their only child in junior high and no second child, they could barely make ends meet.
"No need. I already cleaned the house after having lunch at your place.
If possible, ask Yu Xiu to join us for shopping tomorrow.
Since I only know the two of you, I hope you can teach me a lot. Thank you." Qin Xue was sincerely grateful.
Qin Xue increasingly felt that Fang Hong was a good person. It's easy to lend a helping hand when times are good, but difficult when times are tough. Despite Qin Xue's terrible reputation, Fang Hong still lent her money and tickets without fear of not being repaid. That speaks highly of her character. Qin Xue decided to help her back if there's ever a chance.
Fortunately, Fang Hong listened to her husband, Mr. Xie, and helped Qin Xue. Later, with the help of Qin Xue and her husband Chu Molin, Hong's family achieved great success. But that is a story for another time.
Meanwhile, Chu Molin and his team were in the extreme north of the country, searching a forest. Rumor had it that some unfamiliar objects posed a threat to the country. Chu Molin's team had been searching for over a month before finding the objects hidden in the forest.
They might soon be brought into the country by mercenaries.
As soon as Chu Molin received the intelligence, his team set out to find the objects in hopes of thwarting the enemy's plot.
Chu Molin, along with his colleagues Wei Shaohui, Ding Xi, and Li Dabao, was ambushing the frontlines while others hid nearby. Deng Kai had chosen an excellent vantage point at a high location. Another colleague was keeping a lookout with binoculars.
"Deputy Chief, do you think they'll show up?" Ding Xi asked Chu Molin in a low voice.
"Whether they appear or not, we must find an opportunity to destroy their objective and only leave a handful behind to take back. We've been out here for over a month.
We finally found what they're looking for, and I won't be able to rest easy until we thwart their plans. It's so cold, I haven't even hugged my wife in a long time." Wei Shaohui continued off Ding Xi's words.
"Wei Shaohui, don't flaunt your love life, okay? Some of us are still single. Deputy Chief, do you miss sister-in-law?" Da Bao asked Chu Molin.
Chu Molin remained silent. Did he miss Qin Xue?
He actually didn't. Over the past month, he had been occupied with finding the target and hadn't had time to think about personal matters.
Furthermore, he hadn't willingly married Qin Xue and even felt disgusted. Responsibility compelled Chu Molin to take care of Qin Xue, and the best way to do that was to marry her.
Though he married her under the influence of drugs, she was still his wife now. Thinking about his marital life, Chu Molin felt irritated. His icy face turned even darker, scaring Da Bao into shutting up.
