"White Dove, I was arrested because of you, you can't just abandon me!"

How could Bai Ge accept such a bad reputation? She quickly coaxed, "Sister, what are you saying? Calm down and let's go inside and talk."

"I'm not going in!"

Wu Zhaodi swung her arm and took a step back, causing Bai Ge to miss her hand when she tried to grab it.

"Say what you have to say right here! I've been inside for days, and if you don't give me an explanation, this isn't over!"

Fang Datong's family isn't the only one living here. Bai Ge is glad that Fang Datong isn't home right now, otherwise she would definitely be even more anxious.

"Big sister, I didn't say I would make you suffer for nothing."

As the white dove spoke, it winked at her.

Wu Zhaodi was easy to coax; she was dragged into the house with just a few words.

Ye Nuan, who was on the outermost edge, knew from this development that she wouldn't be able to watch a good show, and that her previous excitement had been for nothing.

However, given Wu Zhaodi's stingy and greedy nature, she would inevitably try to squeeze some benefits out of Bai Ge.

Although she couldn't watch the show, that didn't stop her from making things difficult for Bai Ge.

They found a child, gave him a piece of candy, and then huddled to the side to continue listening to other people's idle chatter.

Ye Nuan had made some minor modifications and wasn't afraid of being seen by Bai Ge. After all, with her current appearance, she could easily pass for a woman in her thirties.

There were still sounds of arguing coming from inside the house. They were hard to hear clearly, but one person didn't want to give more, while the other complained that the amount given was too little.

Ye Nuan curled her lips, "You two keep fighting, it'll be perfect for Fang Datong to run into you in a bit."

Fang Datong wasn't that busy to begin with. He could go home in another half hour. As the workshop director, it was common for him to leave ten or eight minutes early. Today, a kid came to deliver a message to him, saying that his wife had been bullied. How could he let that go?

So Khalil Fong immediately made arrangements with someone and hurriedly rode his bike back.

As a result, he saw a lot of people surrounding the gate of their courtyard from afar, and his face turned dark.

It seems that someone really did come to his house to bully his wife.

As soon as he put the car down, before he even went inside, he heard arguing coming from inside.

At this moment, Fang Datong was standing outside the door, on the platform, while most of the other onlookers were at the courtyard gate. Only four or five people were in the center of the courtyard, but since they lived in the courtyard, Fang Datong couldn't very well kick them out, even though he felt embarrassed.

He was initially annoyed that these people didn't help his wife, but when he got closer and realized they were two women who knew each other, he stopped blaming them.

As a result, they heard words like "supplies," "detention," and "compensation" being mentioned inside.

Khalil Fong's face changed color.

Have these two women gone mad?

How dare you shout such things out loud?

Without a second thought, Fang Datong strode into the room and immediately shouted a few words at him!

Ye Nuan smiled and tugged at the corner of her mouth outside the courtyard. It seemed that Fang Datong would have to come up with the benefits.

Less than five minutes later, Wu Zhaodi came out, still with her chin held high, like a rooster that had won a battle, and left with a satisfied look on her face.

Ye Nuan slightly avoided the topic. If Wu Zhaodi was satisfied, then Fang Datong and Bai Ge were definitely not.

Wow, this is really good!

Ye Nuan, having witnessed the spectacle, left satisfied, wondering if she should prepare some meat to celebrate that evening.

Of course, Ye Nuan also refined this story and wrote it into a letter to Gu Hanchuan.

Fang Datong just wanted to solve the problem quickly and didn't want the people in the courtyard to laugh at him, so he simply gave Wu Zhaodi ten yuan and sent her away.

Although Bai Ge felt bad, she didn't intend to spend a single penny.

But now that Khalil Fong is back, she doesn't dare say a word.

"You actually dare to have connections with the black market? White Dove, I underestimated you!"

"No, I didn't! Datong, it really wasn't like that. It's just that Sister Wu came to me many times before, always saying that there wasn't enough food. Her family has a lot of people, and the children are at the age of growing up, so the ration wasn't enough. That's why she asked me to find her another job. How was I supposed to know that it involved going to the black market and taking risks!"

"You didn't know?"

Bai Ge said sincerely, "Heaven and earth bear witness! I really didn't know. Besides, that's a county in the lower reaches of the country. You know me, I'm responsible for so many housework and take care of the children at home every day, how could I possibly go to the county so often?"

Fang Datong thought so too; it was still quite troublesome to travel from the city to the county by bus.

You have to take a bus to the bus station first, and then take another bus from there. This round trip takes at least three hours.

White doves indeed do not have the necessary conditions.

"Okay, from now on, mind your own business!"

"Yes, I understand. The main issue is that she's my neighbor from my parents' side, and she's come to our house before. I was just trying to help out, but who knew she would come here demanding compensation!"

As Bai Ge spoke, she wiped away tears, as if she were truly wronged.

Whether Fang Datong believed her or not, he gave her a cold shoulder all night, but he didn't say anything harsh.

Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that this hurdle would be overcome.

Ye Nuan, having nothing to do on her way back, wondered whether she should go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they had any meat, or just take a chicken out and slaughter it.

As a result, I almost bumped into someone because I wasn't paying attention.

The other party was a middle-aged man carrying a snakeskin bag, and he looked furious.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Did I bump into you? Oh, Uncle Xu, it's you!"

It didn't collide, but it gave people a fright.

When Xu Youde realized someone was bumping into him, his first reaction was not to dodge, but to protect the snakeskin bag.

This is interesting.

"It's okay, they didn't hit me."

"Uncle Xu, you don't look too well. How about we go to the hospital for a check-up? I'll pay for everything. After all, I'm the one who scared you just now."

"No need for that, I'm fine. I look pale because I just had an argument with someone, it's really not your fault."

Ye Nuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Really? That's great! Uncle Xu, is there something particularly important in this bag? I saw you were quite frightened just now."

Xu Youde and Ye Anjia were classmates and had a good relationship, but they didn't work in the same unit, so they saw each other less often throughout the year.

"It's nothing, a relative of mine dug up some stuff and wanted me to exchange it for cash, but we couldn't reach an agreement. Xiao Nuan, where are you going?"

Ye Nuan rolled her eyes: "Sigh, isn't that right? An elder in one of my classmates' families is looking for medicine. Several of us classmates have been asking around to help, but even though we're just kids, we don't have any connections."

Upon hearing this, Xu Youde's eyes lit up instantly.

What kind of medicinal herbs are you looking for?

Ye Nuan chuckled inwardly; she knew that the bag contained medicinal herbs, she could even smell them!
