Chapter 769: Chapter 759 You Just Can’t Stand to See Me Do Well
After the New Year, a moderately significant incident occurred in Z Province.
The official in charge of logistics, who was reported before the New Year, was confirmed to be involved in the reported misconduct after over a month of a thorough investigation; as a result, punishments were swiftly handed down, and several related individuals were sentenced to various prison terms according to the severity of their offenses.
Why was Shen Yunfang aware of this incident? It was mainly because, in response to this case, the city issued a red-headed document to all enterprises and institutions within its jurisdiction, aiming to serve as a caution for all employees and leaders.
Shen Yunfang didn’t understand why her private enterprise had also received such a document, but since it had been issued, she read it and then instructed Zhang Chunwang to chat with the staff about the incident during their free time.
No sooner had she assigned this task than Shen Yingxue, like a madwoman, ran over to the farm again.
"Sister, who are you looking for?" Xiaocui had already spotted someone approaching from afar and waited at the Drying Yard for a while. As the person drew closer and she saw it was definitely not an employee from the farm, she stepped forward to stop the visitor, politely asking the question.
With a predatory look in her eyes, Shen Yingxue snapped, "I’m looking for Shen Yunfang. Tell her to come out here."
Xiaocui’s heart skipped a beat. This person’s gaze was off, clearly up to no good. How could she possibly let her in to see her sister-in-law? "Sister, our boss isn’t here right now. If you have something urgent, you can tell me, and when the boss..."
Shen Yingxue wouldn’t listen to her. She doubted Shen Yunfang was absent and, with surprising strength, pushed the obstructing Xiaocui aside and rushed toward the office she had visited before.
"Hey, what are you doing, barging in like that? Someone, help! Quick, help! Someone’s come looking for a fight!" Once Xiaocui had steadied herself and saw the intruder running toward her sister-in-law’s office, she panicked. She had seen the boss arrive at the office earlier that morning, so she screamed for help as she gave chase. The only thought in her mind was that this person had come looking for a fight, and although she wasn’t much of a fighter, surely two against one was better than facing the intruder alone.
Shen Yunfang was in the office and heard the commotion outside. As she put down the documents and prepared to go see what was happening, the office door was slammed open. She instantly recognized the intruder as Shen Yingxue, so she straightened up and frowned at her.
Shen Yingxue, seeing that Shen Yunfang was indeed in the office, didn’t stop moving. She charged at her, hands clawing wildly, "You bitch, you ruined me! You ruined me! I’m going to fight it out with you today."
Shen Yunfang watched her approach with cold indifference. As Shen Yingxue closed in to about a meter away and her clawing hands were almost upon her, Shen Yunfang lifted a foot and kicked her straight out.
Looking over, Shen Yingxue lay sprawled on the office floor in complete submission, occasionally letting out pained moans.
Xiaocui stood at the doorway, mouth agape in an ’O’ shape, her admiration for her sister-in-law flowing endlessly like a river. She couldn’t help but think that her sister-in-law seemed even more capable in a fight than her big brother.
"Are you sick or something? If you’re ill, you should go to a hospital. Coming to me won’t help. Although my specialty can cure a little bit of sickness, at best I’m a vet, but it seems you might not fit the bill," Shen Yunfang said methodically, but inwardly she cursed, You’re less than a beast, not even comparable to our poultry.
It took several minutes for Shen Yingxue to pick herself up from the ground, but she couldn’t stand up right away. So, she sat there on the floor, her nose running, and tears flowing as she began to wail and lament.
"Shen Yunfang you heartless ghost, you just can’t stand to see me doing well, can you? I finally find a good man over here, and you come and ruin it all, getting my man arrested. Don’t you dare deny it; I know it was you, it must have been you."
Shen Yunfang swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. What else was there to say? Seeing her cry so miserably, just let her vent. Otherwise, she might really get sick, which would just add to the country’s burden. As a military spouse, she couldn’t cause trouble for the country.
"Ever since we were young, you’ve been unable to stand me. We’re both just village girls, so why did you have a mother looking after you, not letting you do anything, while I had to work from dawn till dusk, constantly getting beaten and scolded? In school, teachers treated you extra well because your father was a martyr. You have no idea how much I hated that. I wondered why my father was still alive. If he were dead, maybe I would be as well-liked..." Her words dripped with the bitterness of her upbringing.
Shen Yunfang rolled her eyes to the sky. What a comparison, competing over whose father died first.
"When I grew up, I swore I’d marry better than you. I couldn’t decide anything for myself in the first half of my life, always inferior to you. But in the second half, when I could make my own decisions, I was determined to outdo you." Shen Yingxue said this, looking up at her with red, swollen eyes.
"Oh, do you think you married better than me?" Shen Yunfang asked softly. "I married a regimental commander, and you married someone who was divorced."
"Nonsense, utter nonsense! Your husband is just a stinking soldier, what’s so great about that? I married into a revolutionary committee cadre’s family; I married better than you," Shen Yingxue shouted as if she had gone mad.
"Hmm, if you think it’s better, then so be it, but I’m not the one who’s been kicked out," Shen Yunfang said calmly, her words nearly driving Shen Yingxue to vomiting blood with rage. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"I stopped comparing myself to you, but just as I finally got settled here and found a good man, how could you do such a thing to me? How much do you hate me to be so eager to see me suffer?" Shen Yingxue began to sob again.
"You’ve been going on and on, and I still don’t understand what’s wrong with your man, how you keep insisting that I harmed him when I don’t even know who your man is," Shen Yunfang felt she was truly innocent.
"How can you say you don’t know, how can you claim ignorance?" Shen Yingxue, overcome with emotion, tried to stand and lunge forward.
Shen Yunfang lifted her foot, not quite smiling as she issued a veiled threat, "If you’re not afraid of being kicked, then go ahead and lunge forward, I won’t stop you."
Although Shen Yingxue was so angry she wanted to scratch the face off the woman in front of her, the sight of that little foot made her hesitate. She collapsed back onto the ground and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu, you always bully me. What did Wanxiong ever do to you for you to write that report against him? Are you heartless or what?"
Wanxiong? Shen Yunfang racked her brain and finally remembered where she had seen that name before - in the document sent over from the city that morning. So, Shen Yingxue’s lover was Chen Wanxiong. No wonder she was so arrogant before. Given Chen Wanxiong’s status at the time, he could effortlessly make many organizations take back their word, indeed quite an influential figure.
However, the more she thought about it, the more she realized Chen Wanxiong’s arrest might have something to do with her after all.
Shen Yunfang remembered her own husband saying that he would take care of this matter and ensure that she wouldn’t be wronged again in the future.
