Opening his eyes, he was in the 60th Military Region, mistook the person for someone else, and was k

These words were spoken.

Sister Ma's face changed, and she panicked.

He quickly ran over and grabbed Er Gouzi, saying, "Where are you going? Why make a fuss over such a small matter and take it to the police? Just pretend I accidentally said something wrong, okay?"

As she ran after Er Gouzi, she didn't forget to hurriedly tell Qin Yunzhou.

"Hey Yunzhou, hurry up and tell Er Gouzi to stop. That's just how I am, I don't think before I speak. Don't take it to heart, I won't say it again, I won't say anything more."

No matter what the matter is, it's fine to make a big fuss, but it's not good if it ends up in jail.

My reputation will definitely be ruined in the future, and it will affect my daughter and son's ability to find partners.

The other families in the courtyard who were watching the commotion also chimed in to plead for her, under Sister Ma's pleading gaze.

They've been neighbors for years, so they couldn't very well not help.

"Yunzhou, that's just how your Aunt Ma is. She didn't tell anyone else or let it get out of the public eye. She knows she was wrong. It would look bad if it got to the police. Please forgive her this time."

"Yes, Yunzhou, we're all neighbors, we see each other all the time. We all know you're a good person. Let your Aunt Ma apologize to you, and let's just let this matter go."

Upon hearing these words, Old Lady Qin became displeased. She put her hands on her hips, spat a few times, and spat several times in the direction of Sister Ma's house.

"Pah! You're all speaking up for her now, but why weren't you speaking up for our Yunzhou just now?"

"What's wrong? You only just realized we're neighbors? We see each other all the time. It's not good to make things too ugly. How come you didn't know that just now?"

"Listen to what Ma Dazui is saying, what he means by breaking the law and regulations, and what he means by speculation and black market activities."

"Our Yunzhou is a military officer. He's just temporarily back in his hometown to recuperate from his injuries. He's not unemployed or without income. His monthly allowance is more than your entire family combined."

"With Yunzhou's abilities, surely he can get a bite of meat?"

After hearing this, the neighbors who wanted to speak up for Sister Ma all shut up.

There's no way around it; that old woman from the Qin family has a sharp tongue, and if things really get heated, few people can out-argue her.

Over there, Sister Ma finally threw a tantrum and managed to stop Er Gouzi, then dragged him back to the courtyard.

She was crying and sniffling, wiping her tears as she said, "Yunzhou, Auntie apologizes, Auntie makes amends to you."

"I was starving after get off work and didn't think before I spoke, Yunzhou, please don't hold it against your aunt, okay?"

Er Gouzi felt incredibly unlucky. He had a sudden change of heart and ran back to help Aunt Ma after she fell. Now, he was caught by her and dragged back.

He lowered his head, feeling guilty, and dared not look at Qin Yunzhou.

Qin Yunzhou didn't pay attention to Er Gouzi, which was within his expectations and not too surprising.

He looked at Sister Ma with dark, deep eyes and said slowly, "Aunt Ma, I don't usually like to argue, but what you said today has really crossed my line."

"I have a clear conscience in my conduct and actions. I am worthy of myself, worthy of the military uniform I wear, and can withstand any investigation."

"If this happens again, including today's incident, I will definitely call the police and demand justice from them."

Aunt Ma immediately stopped wiping away her tears and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it won't happen again, Yunzhou, don't worry."

The other onlookers looked at Qin Yunzhou differently now, with a more complex and respectful gaze.

It's said that the Qin family's second son, whom they just found, has a crippled leg. They probably didn't come back to recover from his injury, but rather he's been discharged from the army.

Although the Qin family claimed they had returned to recuperate from their injuries, few people believed them.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that he has indeed come back to recuperate temporarily. Once he recovers, he will return to the army to continue serving as an officer.

I heard that this person is a political commissar in the army. He attended a military academy, which is a top-tier university. He got a military rank as soon as he joined the army after graduation, and his promotions were faster than those of ordinary people.

Unlike the second son who was switched at birth in the Qin family, he is even more capable than that fake son.

At this moment, some people unconsciously looked at Xu Sui and couldn't help but sigh.

Some people are just lucky; they lose a promising fiancé, but then they find an even more capable man.

……

Er Gouzi helped carry those things into the Qin family's house.

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, Sister Sui Sui, I was running too slowly and got caught by Aunt Ma before I even found the police." He scratched his head awkwardly.

Qin Yunzhou shook his head, took out a dollar from his pocket, and put it in Er Gouzi's hand.

"It's nothing, I was just saying it casually. You did very well today, no need to apologize."

"Thank you for accompanying me all day. It must have been tiring."

Although the weather is getting cooler now and autumn is approaching, it's not as hot anymore.

But nowadays, no one has enough to eat. There's nothing to do most of the time, so people only eat until they're about 40-50% full. After a day of running around outside, helping to carry things and doing this and that, this job isn't easy either.

After working hard all day, Er Gouzi finally saw the money. He felt energized again, took the money with a big smile, and said happily, "Thank you, brother-in-law. I won't bother you any longer."

That's really generous and straightforward.

My brother-in-law is indeed a soldier.

Unlike some people, who ask him to run errands and not only don't get any reward but also complain and curse, and don't even say thank you after the job is done.

Er Gouzi left quickly.

The burlap sack was moved to Xu Sui's room as usual.

As for the small half-pound of meat she was carrying, it may not seem like much, but in times of famine and when everyone was struggling to get enough to eat, it would be normal for Sister Ma to feel envious and jealous, and to speak with a sour tone.

Even the Qin family members couldn't help but linger over the piece of meat Qin Yunzhou brought back, swallowing hard and staring at it intently, as if they were looking at some great treasure.

"Yunzhou, you're amazing! Where did you get this meat?"

The old hen he brought home the day before yesterday is still being kept at home, but we haven't eaten it yet.

I didn't expect to get so much meat now. Although it's not all fat, it's still meat.

Xu Sui was also curious, but since so many people were asking, she didn't ask.

If it were anyone else in this famine-stricken era who could get meat every month, she might have been suspicious, but since this person was Qin Yunzhou, there was no problem.

"I asked someone to help me with it. I was lucky this time, it just so happened to happen. It's not like this happens every month." Qin Yunzhou did not give a direct answer.

Upon hearing this, the Qin family didn't ask any further questions. However, the way they looked at Qin Yunzhou changed, as if they were looking at the same capable leaders in the factory.

Regardless of how it was done, in recent years, being able to bring meat into the home has become a symbol of competence.

Even if you're looking for connections, you need to have connections to make those connections.

No matter when, asking for help is a matter of social interaction. People will only help you if you have something that others are willing to help you with.

Otherwise, the relationships between people would be in complete chaos.
