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

Chapter 270, Episode 0285: I Really Can't Take Responsibility

Even worse, Ye Qin, whose pregnancy had just stabilized, suffered a miscarriage due to this shock.

"It's hard to say about Xiao Zhao and Ye Ying. As for whether they are dating, there are no rumors that they are dating. Everyone knows that Xiao Zhao and Ye Ying have been on blind dates, but that doesn't really link them together."

Zhang Hongying was at a loss for words. "Ye Ying is a smart girl. She can find things that have a clear backing, like the watch. She had already returned it to Xiao Zhao. I don't know how she coaxed Xiao Zhao. He actually believed her when she said she would give it back when they got married and didn't think of anything else."

"The guards weren't punished?" That doesn't make sense.

Zhang Hongying pouted: "Demoted, now I'm the same as Xiao Zhao."

"How could that be?" This is a matter of conduct.

"The Guard Corps, oh no, it should be called the Guard Battalion now. His maternal grandfather donated a batch of medicine at a very critical time. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Grand Elder personally wrote him a letter of commendation and left the secretary's office phone number. After the Guard Battalion got into trouble, Old Yu called the Grand Elder to plead for leniency and donated a prescription left by the Yu family's ancestors. I heard that it contains anti-inflammatory drugs and medicines that can speed up the healing of wounds."

Lin Yuexi understood; the Yu family was using the prescription to exchange for Wei Ying's continued presence in the ranks.

No wonder the higher-ups agreed. Wei Ying made such a big mistake this time that he has almost no chance of promotion in the future. Staying here will only keep him safe for the time being and will not bring him any other benefits. When the time comes, he will still have to leave the team. It's just a matter of transferring to civilian work or retiring from the military.

"Ye Qin divorced Wei Ying. Because of this, everyone felt guilty towards Ye Qin. There happened to be a military wife at the supply and marketing cooperative who was pregnant and went back to her hometown to give birth. A work position was available, so the higher-ups decided to give it to her as compensation."

Ye Qin's family is also in a mess, with a dramatic twist involving a real and a fake heiress.

"To be precise, Ye Qin is not a member of the Ye family. She and Ye Ying's older brother were switched at birth. It's unclear whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose. Ye Qin's biological parents are the brigade leader and his wife. Ye Qin's biological mother and Ye Qin's adoptive mother are from the same village. It just so happened that the two pregnant women went back to their parents' homes on the same day, returned around the same time, and gave birth on the way. As a result, the two newborn babies were switched."

Lin Yuexi looked at her mother's meaningful gaze and instantly understood.

There would be a problem if there wasn't one; there aren't that many coincidences in the world.
"Ye Qin's grandfather was a hero. He could have stayed in Beijing back then. If he had stayed, he would probably be at a similar level to your grandfather now. He didn't want to stay, saying that he was illiterate and only knew how to rush forward recklessly. He couldn't manage people, so he preferred to go back to farming."

"The elders couldn't stop him, so they had to let him go back. But they didn't forget him; his monthly pension is only slightly less than your father's salary."

The people back home receive retirement pensions equivalent to those of division-level cadres.

"As for Ye Qin's adoptive parents' family, they were one of the poorest households in the brigade. The family had been together for two or three generations without dividing the property. Dozens of people lived together, and most of them were lazy. The whole family was barely making ends meet."

Lin Yuexi's eyebrows twitched even more noticeably.

"Otherwise, why do you think Wei Ying would marry Ye Qin? He used to pick someone who was almost thirty years old."

"Does he know about Ye Qin's background?"

"Oh dear, I forgot to mention that the matter of Ye Qin and Ye Ying's older brother being mistaken for each other was settled by both families when Ye Qin was ten years old. They live in the same village, and as the children grow up, they look more and more like each other's family. Considering that the two children were born together, it's easy to suspect that the two children might have been mistaken for each other."

"I heard that Ye Qin's adoptive parents treated her well, so after the two children were switched back, Ye Qin maintained a good relationship with her adoptive parents."

Lin Yuexi understood that Ye Qin's background was no secret and had already been changed back. After Wei Ying got to know her, he could find out who her granddaughter was with a simple investigation.

Although Grandpa Ye now farms in the countryside, he still receives a pension of over two hundred yuan a month, which shows he's not someone to be underestimated. Putting aside other factors, just consider the fact that many of Grandpa Ye's old comrades-in-arms now hold high positions of power—how could the astute Wei Ying not see that?!

No wonder her mother told Aunt Ye that Ye Ying wouldn't have a good life in the future.

Even if Ye Qin clearly backed down by immediately divorcing Wei Ying, giving them some room to maneuver and avoid being reported for having an affair, wouldn't there be less gossip in the future?
Moreover, Ye Qin is helpful to the Guard Camp, but Ye Ying is not.

Even if Ye Ying gets together with Wei Ying as she wishes, is it possible for Wei Ying to treat her well in the future?
Lin Yuexi didn't know whether to laugh or shake her head. "They really squandered a good hand."

Zhang Hongying: "That's right. She looked down on Xiao Zhao because she was only a Y-level officer, not as high-ranking as her brother-in-law, who was already a T-level officer. Now look what's happened. Not only is her reputation completely ruined, but she's also married to a Y-level officer, and one who has no future."

The mother and daughter just sighed and didn't take it to heart. They were just gossiping, nothing more than idle chatter. Why would they bother with such things?

After finishing talking about Ye Qin's matter, Zhang Hongying told Lin Yuexi about a family in the residential area who almost lost their lives due to a conflict between their wives.

In short, the story is about a mean-spirited mother-in-law, a blindly obedient son, a weak daughter-in-law, and several grandsons who are led astray by the mother-in-law. Then, the grandsons are murdered, the daughter-in-law commits suicide, and the son, preoccupied with his troubles, sacrifices himself on a mission. The only winner is the mother-in-law, who happily returns to her hometown with her son's compensation.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

So bumpy!

Lin Yuexi rested for a full half month this time. Nothing outside mattered to her, and nothing bothered her, as her father single-handedly stopped her.

She ate the loving meals her mother prepared every day, and went around gossiping with her mother, chatting happily about this and that.

Two weeks later, the hardworking father couldn't take it anymore. He picked up his daughter, who had already put on a small stool and was ready to go eat melon seeds with her mother, and rushed out of the house.

"Old Leng, where are you taking your daughter?"

Leng Zhi not only didn't turn his head back or listen to anything, but he also took bigger strides, so Xu Shan had to jog to keep up.

However, despite his actions, Leng Zhi was still careful not to let Lin Yuexi hold him too tightly, and he tried not to sway her when he ran.

Lin Yuexi knew that her father had reached his limit. After all, although she lived a carefree life in the family area, she was not completely unaware of what was happening outside. She had more bodyguards around her than her father.

She shook her arms and legs, "Dad, can you put me down?"

Leng Zhi's hands were indeed sore. Even at his lightest, his daughter weighed 90 pounds. Being able to lift her hundreds of meters with one hand meant he wasn't completely old yet.

He carefully put her down, rubbed his numb and swollen hands, and looked at his daughter with a helpless and guilty expression.

“Since yesterday, they haven’t even drunk water. There are a group of people in their fifties and sixties, the oldest of whom is almost eighty. If anything happens to any of them, Dad really can’t take responsibility.”

They are all top experts in various fields of scientific research. Not to mention any serious incidents, if any one of them were to fall ill, it would alarm the elders.
