Chapter 249: What is the Relationship between Xia Weiguo and Qin Kaize?

"Okay, later Huabin and I will go find some bricks from the team and bring back some soil," Qin Kaize looked around the yard and calculated its size. He felt that planting these vegetables shouldn’t be too tiring for his little wife, so he agreed.

Moreover, Gao Huabin would help with digging soil these two days, and he would also water the plants every day in the future.

After entering the house, Xia Weiguo divided the three rooms.

Finally, pointing to the sofa in the living room, he said to Gao Huabin, "Gao, you’ll have to be the host for these two days. When Ze stabilizes, we’ll have a meal together with your group and then you can return."

Actually, he could let Su Yijia’s grandfather sleep with him, let Gao sleep with Ze, and Su Yijia and her grandmother sleep together. But it was better for the young couple to sleep together, so Gao had to work as the host.

"Leader, it’s okay, this sofa is quite big," Gao Huabin said happily, showing off his big white teeth at the thought of seeing his long-lost brothers soon. As for who sleeps where, grown men don’t care about such things.

"Leader, you have a phone call."

Someone suddenly shouted from outside the door.

Xia Weiguo looked at Qin Kaize and then at Su Yijia, worriedly saying, "Jiajia, you guys take a look around the house to see what’s missing. If it’s available on the island, let Ze and Gao go buy it. If it’s not available, make a list, and I’ll have someone go off the island to buy it when I come back. This is your own home, understand? Don’t be polite to me!"

"Uncle Xia, don’t worry, I won’t be polite to anyone, especially not to you," Su Yijia obediently promised.

After Xia Weiguo left, Qin Kaize helped to unpack and classify all the luggage.

Su Yijia looked a bit overwhelmed, especially at the several large sacks of mushrooms.

On the way here, she pretended to have put these mushrooms in the back compartment of the car, but in fact, they had been hidden in her own space all along. Only during the initial twenty-four hours on the train and yesterday and today were they exposed to the air that would cause them to spoil. But now they had to be spread out quickly to breathe and get some sun. Otherwise, all the effort to bring these mushrooms back would be wasted.

"Kaize, are there big dustpans on this island? Also, I want a 60-centimeter-long iron wire, an awl, and some strong glue. Oh, and firewood or coal balls, we’ll need some to cook in the evening," Su Yijia calculated and listed the missing items.

"Okay, I’ll go ask the life committee and apply for some bricks and hoes, and hurry to build the vegetable pots," Qin Kaize promised, and then wheeled himself out.

As if afraid of delaying time and making Su Yijia anxious, he knew how precious these mushrooms were to his little wife. If they were all spoiled, she would definitely cry.

"Boss, wait for me!" Gao Huabin saw him wheeling away so quickly and hurried to catch up.

Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin watched their backs as they left, unable to suppress their smiles.

"Ze’s movements are getting more and more nimble. It won’t be long before he’s fully recovered," Grandma Lin sighed.

In this household, there had to be a man who could stand up.

This way, the two old folks could also feel more at ease.

But what was most important was that Ze treated Jiajia well after he recovered.

However, they still had to keep an eye on things. They had made a mistake twenty years ago, and they had to be careful this time.

"Yeah, after taking the medicine tonight, he should be able to stand up in one or two days at most, and he can walk however he wants," Su Yijia estimated the effectiveness of the medicine while shaking the bedsheets.

"Hello? Is anyone home?"

A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"In, what’s the matter?" Su Yijia put down what she was holding and walked out.

At this time, there was a woman in her sixties standing in the yard, holding a basin with cucumbers, bitter gourds, and some greens inside.

Seeing Su Yijia, she looked her up and down before pretending to be warm and said, "I live in the yard next to yours. My son is the political commissar of the team. Seeing the leader has been away for so long and brought so many people back, I came over to see if there’s anything I can help with."

"Thank you, but there’s no need. We can handle things ourselves," Su Yijia didn’t like the way the old lady was looking at her, so she spoke with some distance.

Seeing that she hadn’t left yet, Su Yijia didn’t beat around the bush either and directly said, "Old lady, do you need anything else? We need to tidy up the house."

"Oh, we’re all neighbors. Let me help you tidy up," she seemed to not understand the implied meaning of being asked to leave and just wanted to enter the house.

If it were any other young wife, she would definitely hesitate to stop her. But Su Yijia directly stood at the door and blocked her from entering.

"Old lady, thank you for your kindness. But these are all personal items to be tidied up, and it’s not appropriate for others to handle them. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it after we finish our work," her dark, shiny eyes carried a hint of chilliness as she stared coldly at the old lady.

In her polite words was a firm refusal.

However, the old lady didn’t know how to respond to such a reason and could only smile awkwardly and say, "Okay, I’ll come over later when you’re done with your work."

Bah! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

What nonsense!

Who in the team doesn’t know that Xia Weiguo is an orphan, without any relatives? So what if he values Qin Kaize? He just wants to promote useful subordinates. Now that Qin Kaize has become a cripple, although not completely paralyzed as everyone thought, just sitting in a wheelchair makes him useless.

Even if Qin Kaize was valued before, he’s just a pawn now. Allowing them to stay for a few days is definitely to avoid making things look bad and to win some hearts in passing. Does this dead brat really think she’s the mistress of this yard?

Cursing bitterly in her heart, the old lady took a couple of steps back outside. After a moment’s thought, she decided to come back.

With a face full of gossip, she asked, "By the way, didn’t Qin Kaize already transition to civilian life? Why did he suddenly return to the sea?"

"I don’t know about that. Anyway, wherever my husband asks me to go, I’ll go," Su Yijia replied evasively, smiling ambiguously.

However, such an answer sounded too perfunctory to the old lady. She showed a bit of dissatisfaction on her face and asked directly, "Then what’s the relationship between your husband and the leader? Why is the leader still taking care of him even though he’s transitioned?"

Even if she wanted to win people over, bringing so many people to live here must cost quite a bit of money. There must be secrets she doesn’t know about.

"Because my man was pretty capable in the team before, right? And this transition was also because of his injury, he had no choice. He even received commendation. Uncle Xia is a good person, showing a bit more concern for my husband, what’s wrong with that?" Su Yijia said proudly.

The old lady initially wanted to say that the commendation was nothing special. But in the end, she didn’t dare to be so bold. Her son had said that Qin Kaize was originally very promising, it was just bad luck. If he hadn’t been so severely injured and forced to transition, he might have risen even higher in his position.

To be a full team leader at twenty-six was already quite remarkable, and the fact that he could continue to rise proved that his achievements were not small. This wasn’t something she could easily discredit.
