377 Deal With These Problems
Xiao Sheng smiled humbly. “I still need your guidance on many things. In addition, I hope you can help me ‘take care’ of the two troublemakers in the next few days. Otherwise, if they keep going to the factory to cause trouble, it will really affect our production progress.”
Xiao Sheng’s request wasn’t a difficult request, so the old policeman immediately promised, “Your suggestion is very good. The people inside are criminals to begin with, so law enforcement should stop doing illegal things and make them repent for their mistakes.”
Xiao Sheng smiled even more sincerely when he heard this and the two of them chatted as they entered the police station.
In fact, the situation was very clear, so they just needed to go through the standard procedure. Yu Yan was willing to pay a five-yuan fine, so she only needed to be detained for three days. Madam Sun would be detained for ten days.
On the way back to the village, after Yu Bing found out where Xiao Sheng had placed the food under the car seat, she praised, “Not bad, Little Xiao. I didn’t even have time to deal with these problems.”
When Xiao Sheng heard Yu Bing’s address, he glared at her. “How rude.”
When Yu Bing heard this, she pursed her lips and chuckled. From the looks of it, she was indeed younger than Xiao Sheng, but according to her actual age, she was older than him, so it wasn’t wrong to call him Little Xiao.
As Yu Bing stared at Xiao Sheng’s handsome side profile in a daze, Xiao Sheng felt a little embarrassed. He reached out and held Yu Bing’s chin gently as he turned her face forward. “Watch the road.”
Yu Bing insisted on teasing Xiao Sheng, so she turned to look at him and said, “I’m not driving, so why should I look at the road? Let me ask you a question. You have to tell me the truth.”
Yu Bing restrained the smile on her face slightly and said seriously, “Just now, Madam Sun said that I go on business trips with my male colleagues often. Do you really not mind?”
Xiao Sheng didn’t expect Yu Bing to ask this question, but he was a little happy, since this meant that Yu Bing was already starting to care about his thoughts. “It’s not the first day we’ve met each other, so I know what kind of person you are. Besides, it’s better for them to think this way. This way, no one will compete with me.”
Yu Bing added, “I might not even be able to cook when I’m busy.”
Xiao Sheng replied indifferently, “I didn’t starve to death after so many years without you, so as long as you don’t mind my culinary skills, I don’t mind being in charge of cooking at home.”
After Xiao Sheng finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Yu Bing. “Does my answer earn me any points?”
When the serious atmosphere Yu Bing had created was instantly ruined, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “In view of your overall performance today, I’ll give you an additional five points.”
Xiao Sheng immediately beamed when he heard this. He had 15 points now, so he was one step closer to full marks!
Because Yu Yan had betrayed her own people and even started rumors, her reputation in the village and among the intellectuals had plummeted. Initially, everyone only thought that she had a hot temper and liked to slack off, but she wasn’t a bad person. Now that this incident had happened, they considered her to be immoral as well.
Yao Nian had been suffering these past few days. He was also at the scene that day, and when he saw Yu Yan leave with the police, he wished he could burrow into the ground. He had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Moreover, his relationship with Yu Yan was considered official. Although no one did anything to him because of Yu Yan’s actions, the two of them were in a relationship after all. In order to avoid awkwardness, sometimes, everyone avoided talking about Yu Yan in front of him. This made Yao Nian feel that he had been ostracized because of Yu Yan, so he felt resentful towards Yu Yan.
Although Yao Nian didn’t have a good reputation among intellectuals, people who were not familiar with him had a good impression of him because of his good looks. Now that something had happened to Yu Yan, he had no choice but to start thinking about his reputation. Should this relationship continue?
However, Yu Yan’s family background made Yao Nian hesitate. After all, the temptation of returning to the city was too great for an intellectual!
After Yao Nian hesitated for a few days, Yu Yan left the detention center.
In the end, Yao Nian decided to continue maintaining a relationship with Yu Yan for the time being. If Yu Yan’s family really had a way to transfer him back to the city, who would know what happened in the countryside? As for the demerit in the file, it would only affect Yu Yan herself. It was fine as long as he wasn’t affected.
After making up his mind, Yao Nian naturally had to perform well, so he woke up early and went to the commune’s police station.
