Professional Ethics of a Concubine

The news that Xie Jin became the son-in-law of the captain of Xinghua Village spread quickly in Xiaoxi Village, and people from the village came to congratulate him.

"Tiedan, you are in luck! Xinghua Village is the richest village in our area. If you become their son-in-law, you won't have to worry about not having enough food in the future."

"Yes! The key is that Lin Qingyu is a famous beautiful girl. She was spoiled by her family and grew up to be prettier than the girls in the city."

"Just go out and ask. As long as he's a young man, there's no one who doesn't want to be the son-in-law. It's okay to change his surname!"

…………

Everyone was chatting with Xie Jin at once, and the envy in their words was so great that it was about to overflow.

Usually, if you become someone's son-in-law, you will be looked down upon.

However, if you marry a son-in-law of a so-called 'wealthy family' and marry a very beautiful girl, you will be envied by others. Even if others say something unpleasant about you, it is just sour words.

Now that I have many sons, I wouldn’t feel bad about giving up one. It would be better to have a good in-law who can get some benefits from them to supplement the family.

Listening to everyone's teasing, Xie Jin couldn't help but want to laugh. It seemed as if he, as a son-in-law, would become the pride of the whole village.

"Tiedan, what did your mother-in-law cook for you?" asked an aunt.

"Killed chicken."

"Oh, I killed a chicken for you. I'm very satisfied with you." Upon hearing this, the aunt slapped her thigh exaggeratedly.

Others all echoed.

"Tiedan, why didn't you prepare some wedding candies and melon seeds? Look, the grandparents and aunties came to your house to congratulate you, but you couldn't even have a piece of candy. That's not good."

The leader of the production team spoke up.

Xie Jin, "...I haven't had time to prepare yet, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes, wedding candies, melon seeds, peanuts, and red dates are indispensable. It's just this once, so we can't be stingy!"

The team leader did not just make demands, he also took out a few food coupons and sugar coupons from his pocket and gave them to Xie Jin.

"Here are the tickets. Use them to buy those things. Even though they are just a few tickets, they are a token of our team's appreciation. Our team is very poor, so please don't despise them."

"Thank you, Captain. I am so grateful to you that I cannot express it enough to despise you." Xie Jin took it with a smile, and felt warm in his heart.

After Tiedan and Erdan's parents died, their cruel grandparents ignored them. If it weren't for the support from the brigade and the help from the villagers, they would have died long ago.

"Look, your parents are gone. How do you want to arrange your marriage? Our team can help you." The team leader spoke again.

"I will discuss this with them and give you a reply in two days. If I need your help, I will speak up. Of course, I will not let you work in vain."

Xie Jin smiled and said,

"I'll go to the mountains again in the next few days. If I can't kill a wild boar, I can catch some pheasants, rabbits, and snakes. I can also prepare a banquet for everyone and invite everyone to drink wedding wine."

When everyone heard what Xie Jin said, they shouted happily and said that they were all free and could help with the banquet, and they just needed to hire a chef.

Xie Jin also responded with a smile, feeling very happy.

Although the conditions were simple and they were short of food and clothing, Xie Jin felt a special sense of satisfaction and novelty because he could personally arrange his and Qingyu's marriage and had so many people to help.

so good!

Everything related to Qingyu will become so happy.

-

The next day, before Xie Jin went out to the mountain, Lei Lao Hu came to his door with two people.

Xie Jin stared at the two men and guessed their identities in his mind. Judging from their body shape and expressions, they were most likely soldiers.

He has reviewed countless military parades, so he has some good eyesight.

"Xie Jin, these two comrades are from the People's Liberation Army. They came here today to ask for your help." Lei Lao Hu said to Xie Jin.

"Hello." Xie Jin nodded to the other two people, and the right to speak was directly in his hands.

"What do you want from me?"

The two PLA comrades looked at each other and thought that this young man had a good aura, as if he had seen many storms and waves, and he was calm and strong enough.

"Comrade Xie, this is the situation." One of them spoke up.

"We were chasing a suspect, but he ran into the woods and hid there. We didn't have enough manpower to complete the search, so we thought of looking for some villagers who are familiar with the woods to help us look for traces and conduct a precise search to see if we can find him."

"An ordinary person, in this hot and humid weather, even if he brings a full pot of water and has food, he can't survive three days in the forest unless he hides in a place with water."

Xie Jin frowned slightly and said,

"There are limited puddles and streams in the surrounding forests. If you are sure he is in the forests, start your search from the water source.

Even if you are close to a water source, if you still haven't found him after four days, you should consider whether he has escaped from the forest."

The two PLA comrades nodded as they listened, agreeing with what Xie Jin said. At the same time, they both smiled slightly and stretched out their hands to Xie Jin, saying,

"Congratulations, Comrade Xie, you have passed our initial test. You can temporarily join our non-staff staff."

"Huh? Who are you? What do you want to do?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, feeling that this feeling was also very fresh.

Since he became the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and later became the emperor, he was the one who recruited and assessed others. This was the first time he was being assessed.

This taste is quite fresh.

"Hahaha... Well, let me tell you, Xie Jin is not only skilled enough to kill a wild boar with his bare hands, but his brain is even better."

Lei Lao Hu immediately smiled and said,

"There is absolutely no problem with my recommendation this time. Just feel free to recruit him into the team. He will definitely bring you surprises."

"We are a special department of the army, responsible for carrying out some special tasks. Because the tasks are somewhat difficult and dangerous, our allowances and bonuses will be large."

one of them explained.

"It sounds like you are an elite team in the army. Then why do you want to recruit a civilian like me? You should select soldiers with good skills from the army. They have better discipline and higher obedience."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jin was not tempted by the high allowances and bonuses at all, but pointed out the most critical issue.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Jin took the initiative back into his own hands.

"Hahaha, Lei Lao Hu is right. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Comrade, you may not look very old and have never been out of the village, but you are very accurate in identifying problems!"

Another person smiled and said,

"Very good, very good, comrade, you have passed our second level test."

Xie Jin simply rolled his eyes.

You have been taking one test after another, and then you say you have passed. You are so high-handed and pretentious. I haven't said yet that you must join.

Even Xie Jin couldn't help but reflect on whether he was also so arrogant and annoying when he was the emperor.

It's different. He is the emperor, he can be as arrogant as he wants. Others can only hold it in and dare not even roll their eyes.

"Hey, stop talking so much and get down to business." Lei Lao Hu said from the side.

"Then please ask Comrade Lei to step aside for now." said one of them.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait outside the yard and hold the door for you so that no one else can come and disturb you. You can talk as much as you want."

Lei Lao Hu went out immediately, folded his arms, and stood outside the yard like a door god.

"Comrade Xie, the situation is like this. We need you to approach a dangerous person. We suspect he is a spy. Why don't we choose a soldier from the army? Because of the accent, we need a local to approach him so that he won't have too much suspicion..."

In the room over here, the two comrades lowered their voices and told Xie Jin the basic situation.

After Xie Jin listened, he thought for a while and asked a bunch of questions.

"How long will this mission last? Since I have to play an ordinary person, it cannot affect my normal life, otherwise the other party will be suspicious.

I'm going to marry Qingyu in a few days. The news has spread out and everyone in the surrounding area knows about it. If I change the news, I'll definitely be suspected.

Moreover, I will not hide myself and not contact Qingyu in my family just because of the mission.

Therefore, I don’t want this matter to affect the time I spend with my partner, and I don’t want my wedding to be postponed.

If this requirement is met, I can consider taking on this task.

If I take on this task, can I get some salary in advance? I want to have a good wedding and treat the villagers to a rich wedding banquet. "

Two PLA comrades,...

The two of them also have rich experience in recruiting people, but they have never met someone who... doesn't consider himself an outsider.

These conditions are more than what they proposed. They don’t even have so many requirements!

"Think about it yourself. Do you think you have gone too far?" one of them said.

"I think what I'm asking for is reasonable," Xie Jin said calmly and confidently.

"Because you said it was an undercover mission. Since it's an undercover mission, we need to be authentic and natural in our identities. We can't have any drastic changes in our lives..."

Then, Xie Jin, who loved to teach others, gave the two PLA comrades some basic knowledge on the precautions of lurking.

In fact, this matter should be handled by Xie Wenyuan. He has rich experience in being a spy, even more than him.

Xie Jin had already considered that if the other party did not agree to his conditions, he would recommend Xie Wenyuan to them.

Although when they find out that Xie Wenyuan is just a little kid, they may think they are crazy.

The two comrades who had been taught a lesson were so dizzy that they almost forgot why they were there.

Is Comrade Xie Tiedan some hidden boss? Is he the spy?

So, the final result was that the two comrades decided to take Xie Jin away immediately and investigate his problems carefully.

Xie Jin, ...

Did he behave too much and arouse suspicion? They wouldn't lock him up for research and never let him out, would they? !

"Lei Lao Hu, tell Lin Qingyu in Xinghua Village about my situation and tell her not to worry. I will be back soon."

Before Xie Jin left, he gave Lei Lao Hu some instructions.

Lei Lao Hu thought Xie Jin was going to participate in a mission, so he immediately responded with a smile, "Don't worry, I will tell Lin Qingyu."

"Wait, I need to write a letter to Qingyu, you can just pass it on to me." Xie Jin looked at the two comrades, asked for their consent, and then quickly wrote a letter.

The Da Zhao characters written in cursive script, when put together, look as flamboyant as a painting.

Then he wrote two lines of simplified Chinese characters around it. These were written for outsiders to see. The general idea was that he would be away for a few days and asked Lin Qingyu not to worry.

After he finished writing the letter, he showed it to the two comrades. They looked at it and said to him with a smile, "What is this you drew? It looks very abstract."

"Just drawing to express my emotions." Xie Jin smiled.

"You can investigate as you like. My ancestors are all innocent. The reason why I became so knowledgeable is because I am very smart and I love reading. Look at my house. There are piles of books."

He took two PLA comrades to read books. The books were very serious and highlighted the red revolutionary spirit. There were no banned books at all.

"Have you read so many books?" the two PLA soldiers asked in surprise.

"I've seen it." Xie Jin nodded. "You can ask me any questions you want. I can answer them all."

"Well... you should come with me."

The two comrades had just doubted his identity, but now they felt that if his identity was correct, he should be a target for key training.

No matter what the reason is, it is necessary to take it back and have a deeper understanding of it.

-

Xinghua Village.

"What? Tiedan was taken away by the PLA comrades to carry out a mission?"

When Lin Qingyu heard Lei Lao Hu's retelling, he raised his voice in surprise and asked, "Are you sure they are really soldiers?"

"Of course." Lei Lao Hu nodded, took out the letter and handed it to Lin Qingyu, "Xie Jin asked me to pass it on."

Lin Qingyu took it quickly, and when she saw the pile of wildly written cursive characters, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. If she hadn't lived with Xie Jin for decades, she wouldn't have been able to recognize a single character.

After understanding the situation, Lin Qingyu felt relieved. She smiled at Lei Lao Hu and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you. Let's have dinner at my house later before leaving."

"No, no." Lei Lao Hu quickly waved his hand, "I'm leaving first. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me."

"Thank you." Lin Qingyu thanked again.

"Little sister, what's going on?" Fifth brother Lin Qinghe asked her when he saw Lei Lao Hu leaving.

"It's about Xie Jin. The People's Liberation Army has noticed his ability and wants to assign him a mission. Xie Jin will disappear for a few days." Lin Qingyu said with a frown.

"Which troops are they from? Ask Uncle Er about the situation?" Lin Qinghe asked immediately.
