Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 68 Ji Nian became mute?

With the immediate crisis resolved, Ji Sisi returned to the Sixth Team's office.

Captain Ma returned, still damp with sweat. He took off his straw hat and picked up the enamel mug on the table.

"The watermelons planted after the New Year are growing well. We'll be able to eat them soon, and we'll finally have something sweet to eat. One watermelon for each household should be enough. Sisi, you should take one home and try it too."

Captain Ma sat down and took a big gulp of water.

When it comes to watermelons, the first names that come to Ji Sisi's mind are Kirin watermelon, Mido, and Black Beauty.

This is a summer staple. If you put it in well water to chill for a while before cutting it open, one bite will send a cool sensation throughout your body, making you feel incredibly comfortable.

Just thinking about it made Ji Sisi feel much cooler.

She's got it! She can grow all kinds of fruits in her little yard. She can't cook vegetables, but she's quite accomplished at growing fruit.

I bought a lot of strange and unusual things in my past life. I'll go back to the warehouse and see if I can find the seeds to plant.

"Sisi—"

Huang Qiaomei knocked on Ji Sisi's door and called out from outside.

"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down."

Ji Sisi asked in confusion, then opened the door and invited Huang Qiaomei in, "It's so late, what do you want to see me about, sister-in-law?"

As soon as Huang Qiaomei entered the door, Little Grey excitedly circled around her feet, sniffing the scent.

"Oh my, this, this is the little wolf you took in? It looks like a dog."

Huang Qiaomei only heard the next day that Ji Nian had instigated people to go to Ji Si's house to cause trouble in the middle of the night. They were sisters, after all, how could they do such a thing?

Thinking of Ji Nian, Huang Qiaomei's face fell, and she felt irritated.

That troublemaker! Ever since she arrived, there hasn't been a single peaceful day!

"That's right, otherwise why would I have brought it back? Little Grey, come here, don't trip Sister Qiaomei."

As soon as Ji Sisi finished speaking, Little Grey seemed to understand her and left Huang Qiaomei, obediently following behind her.

Huang Qiaomei was greatly surprised, "Heavens, this is truly miraculous."

When Huang Qiaomei saw Ji Sisi about to pour water, she quickly stopped her, saying, "I won't drink any water. I have something to say and I'll leave soon. The children at home are waiting for dinner."

"What is it?"

Ji Sisi put down the thermos.

"It's about your sister. Your eldest sister was detained in the detention center for a few days, right? Her identity is fine, she's not a spy, but..."

Huang Qiaomei found it difficult to speak, but she harbored deep resentment towards Ji Nian.

At first, Ji Sisi thought Huang Qiaomei had come because of work, but now that Ji Nian was mentioned, the smile on her lips disappeared.

Has my older sister caused you any trouble?

Huang Qiaomei didn't stand on ceremony and nodded. "Don't overthink it. This has nothing to do with you. She's the one who's caused us a lot of trouble. I heard from Lao Fu that the higher-ups suspect that the information was leaked by our institute, and they've already sent people to investigate."

Qi Yan is the project manager, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes before this matter is thoroughly investigated.

If those investigating people overhear this, the leader will definitely not have a good impression of him, and it will inevitably be used against him by those envious people when he wants to be promoted in the future.

Huang Qiaomei placed her fist on the table, her face full of worry.

"Now your eldest sister says that Qi Yan betrayed her by marrying you and even wronged her. She even committed suicide at the police station this afternoon. And coincidentally, the comrades from the intelligence bureau also stumbled upon this. Isn't that unlucky?"

Huang Qiaomei explained the whole story clearly.

Ji Sisi hadn't expected Ji Nian to be so reckless. "Is he still alive?"

Huang Qiaomei curled her lips and said, "She's been saved. Old Fu has agreed to Ji Nian's request and said he'll pick someone for her in the institute. She'll stay in the institute's dormitory for the time being."

Sisi is so pitiful. She has no parents in this world and is being exploited by this person who has no blood relation to her.

This season's Nian is really shameless!
“I know you and your older sister don’t get along. I didn’t come here to advise you. I just wanted to let you know that Qi Yan will probably be back soon. You two can discuss it when he gets back. If you don’t want to deal with Ji Nian’s matter at all, then leave it entirely to Lao Fu to handle.”

"Okay, I understand. I'm so sorry to trouble you and Director Fu. I'd like to try to persuade my older sister first. If she won't listen, then we'll make further plans."

Huang Qiaomei came seeking a result. Since Ji Sisi agreed to give it a try, a peaceful resolution would naturally be the best option.

If we really let Lao Fu introduce someone to us, what kind of talk is that!
If word got out that the director of a research institute was arranging a marriage for his family and relatives, he would be incredibly embarrassed!
Having Wang Cuicui was already a headache enough. If there were another troublemaker like her in the courtyard, wouldn't life be chaotic from now on?
After seeing Huang Qiaomei off, Ji Sisi's eyes dimmed.

Ji Nian was determined to stay. Given her ambition, her first target would definitely be Qi Yan, which would put her in danger.

She went to such great lengths to bring Qi Yan back alive; she absolutely couldn't let him benefit someone else.

System: [Host, when will the bulletproof vest be returned?]

Ji Sisi: ...

I should have just let it go. I was even thinking of exploiting a bug and pretending to be dead as long as the system didn't mention it.

"This, this, what if Qi Yan needs them for his next mission? You know, highly educated people like them are key figures to be protected in China."

The system is impartial and incorruptible; [the bulletproof vest has been recovered.]

Fine, it has superpowers and it calls the shots. She's just trying to make a living under the system.

The institute's medical clinic.

Ji Nian opened her eyes, a sharp pain shooting through her neck. She cried out in pain, and the room fell silent.

Ji Nian tried to say a few words, but found that there was still no sound. She widened her eyes and got out of bed to look for someone.

"Why did you get up? These past two days, except for when it's not necessary, you need to rest in bed and only eat liquid food."

Dr. Wu gave Ji Nian instructions.

Ji Nian tried to speak but found no sound.

She grabbed Dr. Wu, pointed to her throat, and shook her head anxiously.

"You mean you can't speak? You've probably injured your vocal cords. Wait for the wound to heal a bit and see if it recovers. If not, you'll have to go to a big hospital. The equipment in our institute is limited, so I suggest you go to a big hospital as soon as possible, or you'll end up not being able to get it treated."

As soon as Dr. Wu said that, Ji Nian suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

She lost her voice! She became disabled?

Ji Nian slowly touched the gauze on her neck, trying to make a sound, but no matter what she did, she could only make a whimpering sound, which was hoarse and unpleasant.

Ji Nian sat on the bed, staring blankly into space.

She used to think that God was looking out for her, that she could even escape being sent to the countryside. But what awaited her was the endless harassment from thugs, which made her live in fear.

The culprit behind all of this is Ji Sisi. That bitch actually used her name to act as a hero, causing those pickpockets to harass her.

Despite her explanation that she didn't do it, she was met with a response.

"We can't find her right now. You're her older sister, so you'll have to take responsibility for what she did!"

Ji Nian was furious. She clenched her fists and secretly vowed to take back everything that belonged to her.

And she will definitely repay the suffering she endured for Ji Sisi!
