After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 219, Episode 0227: Eating the gossip of Zheng Weiguo (Part 3)
Zheng Qili was a model student in the compound, standing shoulder to shoulder with Huo Han. The two were now at the regimental level, one a full regimental commander and the other a deputy regimental commander. Both had accumulated a wealth of military merits, and as long as they didn't make any mistakes, the only difference between them in terms of promotion would be experience.

It can be said that, as long as they don't perish along the way, their futures are bright and promising.

Coincidentally, both of them are still single.

Therefore, these two have always been the top choices for sons-in-law among the older women in the compound.

Zheng Anxin was adopted by the Zheng family when she was six years old. Coincidentally, Yang Limei was pregnant at that time and was not suitable to take care of Zheng Anxin. So the Zheng couple asked Old Zheng to send Zheng Anxin to them first.

Pregnancy is inconvenient, postpartum care is inconvenient, and breastfeeding is equally inconvenient. All these inconveniences continued until Zheng Anxin turned ten, at which point Yang Limei finally took her back to raise her.

Even after being taken back, Zheng Anxin still spends at least three months a year with the Zheng couple.

Zheng Anxin was raised by Aunt Chen. Although she doesn't have as many skills as Aunt Chen, she is already on par with most of the second and third generations in Beijing. And even though she lives in the countryside now, she still lives a very good life.

Compared to these two, Zheng Qi'an was just a spoiled brat.

When he was little, he believed that you should get whatever you wanted. As he grew older, he started bullying people around him and his classmates. Once, just because a classmate contradicted him to his face, he led his gang to ambush the classmate in an alley after school and beat him severely.

As for the family of the child who was beaten, the Zheng family was powerful. After learning that their child had been beaten by Zheng Qi'an, they didn't even go to the Zheng family to reason with them.

However, this was seen by Zheng Qi'an's classmates, who told Zheng Qi'an's teacher, who then told Yang Limei about it.

"That was more than a decade ago. It wasn't until the Chinese New Year two years ago that Lao Zheng learned about it because he ran into that teacher."

Zhang Hongying and Lin Yuexi both fell silent.

This is not just spoiling, this is being an accomplice!
Zhang Hongying found it even harder to accept that her old friend of nearly thirty years could be this kind of person.

Limei once fought against the Japanese invaders!
Leng Zhi continued: Zheng Qi'an graduated from high school at the age of seventeen. At that time, the wave of going to the countryside was in full swing. Graduates who couldn't find jobs had to go to the countryside, and Old Zheng was not in Beijing.

Yang Limei then used Lao Zheng's name to go to Zhou Duanhai, their old comrade-in-arms who had transferred to a food factory as its director, hoping to ask him to help arrange a job for Zheng Qi'an.

At that time, the food factory had just added a production line and was preparing to recruit workers. Zhou Duanhai, out of respect for Lao Zheng, reserved a spot for Zheng Qi'an.

However, Yang Limei and Zheng Qi'an were both dissatisfied with the assembly line workers. After Yang Limei went to see Zhou Duanhai several times without success, she used the fact that Lao Zheng had once saved Zhou Duanhai as a favor, but selectively forgot that Zhou Duanhai had also saved Lao Zheng.

Yang Limei had already gone to such lengths, what could Zhou Duanhai do? It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude.

In the end, Zheng Qi'an got his wish and entered the propaganda department.

Leng Zhi sighed deeply, "Back then, the relationship between Lao Zheng and Zhou Duanhai was much better than that between Lao Zheng and me. They were in the same platoon when they joined the army. Huo Lao was their Y-commander back then. I didn't know them at that time."

Because of Yang Limei, the friendship between Lao Zheng and Zhou Duanhai was practically over; the fact that they didn't become enemies was already a testament to Zhou Duanhai's magnanimity.

Old Zheng was unaware of all this at the time. It was only when he accidentally bumped into Zhou Duanhai that he learned what Yang Limei had done behind his back.

"Yang Limei told you that Zheng Qi'an had two girlfriends at the same time back then. Either she was also deceived by Zheng Qi'an, or she wasn't telling you the truth. Zheng Qi'an had four girlfriends at the time: the one from the Liu family, two of his classmates, and a girl from the Huo family." "The Huo family?"

This drama is really getting bigger and bigger, it's even dragged the Huo family into it.

"The Huo family covered this up. Zheng Qi'an had been dating Huo Laowu's youngest daughter for six months. They were dating secretly, and the Huo family was unaware of it. It wasn't until Zheng Qi'an's affair with the Liu family girl was exposed that the Huo family's youngest daughter became emotionally unstable, and that's when the Huo family found out."

Huo Laowu is a notoriously lazy person with no ambition. He has only managed to get a minor position and has no aspirations. He gives you the impression that he is just wasting his days.

In short, you see no future in him.

Perhaps for this reason, after the Huo family forbade the little girl from contacting Zheng Qi'an again, Zheng Qi'an did not take the initiative to look for her, and the matter between the two ended there.

The two were dating secretly, and few people knew about it. With the help of the Huo family, the affair was practically invisible to the public.

Even if Huo Laowu had no ambition, he was still a father. If he could swallow his anger and endure his daughter being bullied, then he wouldn't deserve the surname Huo.

So Huo Laowu lured Lao Zheng out alone, told him what had happened, and then beat him up.

On one hand, he's with the Liu family girl he has a grudge against, and on the other hand, he's offended the Huo family. This isn't a son; this is an enemy from a past life seeking revenge.

Zhang Hongying and Lin Yuexi exchanged a glance, and they both understood. No wonder Old Zheng severed his father-son relationship so decisively.

If this continues, Zheng Qi'an alone could probably shake the yolks out of the Zheng family's eggs.

The Zheng family has produced nine martyrs across three generations. Zheng Qi'an alone wants to tarnish their reputation? Does he deserve it?

Zhang Hongying even began to suspect, rather inappropriately, that Zheng Qi'an might be Old Zheng's son.

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw.

How could she think that way? Li Mei was only wavering on her stance regarding Zheng Qi'an. How could she doubt her character because of that?
While inwardly cursing herself for overthinking, she reassured Leng Zhi, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

With his wife's words reassuring Leng Zhi, he buried his head and began eating dumplings one after another.

Zhang Hongying and Lin Yuexi stopped chatting and got to work making dumplings.

After dinner, Leng Zhi took Lin Yuexi for a stroll in the back mountain, both to digest their food and to get some exercise.

The couple had different perspectives. Zhang Hongying subconsciously felt that Lin Yuexi still needed care, while Leng Zhi was more rational. When he learned that Lin Yuexi's body had almost recovered, but she still fell into a 'foolish' state when thinking, he had the idea of ​​training her.

It's obvious, isn't it? His daughter is too smart. Her body has only recovered, but it can't support her brilliant mind. It's not enough for her to look healthy for now. What if her body can't keep up at all one day?
Although Lin Yuexi didn't have much contact with them in reality, perhaps because their behavior was too straightforward, even if they didn't say anything, it didn't prevent Lin Yuexi from seeing their true thoughts.

One of them cared whether she had eaten enough, dressed warmly, and slept well. The other cared about her health, what the future held, and whether he could protect her.
Following slowly behind Leng Zhi, who had slowed his pace, Lin Yuexi herself didn't realize how 'radiant' the smile on her face was at that moment.
