Chapter 371: 371 Persuasion
Yuanyuan finished eating and then fed the child the Spiritual Spring Water before taking the stroller out for a walk.
The children are already used to going out to play every day.
The four of them went to watch people train again. She looked at the three children who were very excited and was quite puzzled, what are they so excited about?
Do they like the crowd or these masculine moves?
By half-past nine, the sun was too strong, so she pushed the children to walk under the shade of the trees, reciting ancient poems to them. The three children didn't quite understand but kept laughing happily.
The peacefulness of the four of them wasn't broken until a young man came running over.
"Mr. Su. Leader Zeng wants to see you, and Zheng Lanying won't say anything."
Yuanyuan nodded. She pushed the stroller, not in a hurry, following the young man.
In fact, the young man was very anxious, but he didn't dare to urge her. What happened yesterday with the couple beating two people is now known to everyone.
They arrived at the interrogation room, and Tan Shaoting was looking at Zeng Zhenqing next door.
"There's no other way, we've tried everything. We just have to let Xiao Su give it a try."
Zheng Lanying, who had appeared unmoved, showed an emotional reaction upon seeing Yuanyuan enter.
"Zheng Lanying, do you know why you're here?"
Zheng Lanying just stared blankly at Yuanyuan.
"I think you don't know. As a woman, I kind of sympathize with you."
"You sympathize with me? Aren't you happy to see me in trouble?"
"You take yourself too seriously. Who are you? What do you have to do with me?
Actually, now you should know why you're here, right?
Think about whether you'd rather be better off dead or want to live. Although you definitely won't have freedom in the future, at least you'll be alive, right?"
Zheng Lanying suddenly laughed, "Do you know there's a saying where we're from? 'Life is precious, love is more; if for freedom both are to be forsaken.'
"So you're not afraid of death for your freedom?"
Zheng Lanying stopped talking. Indeed, she didn't have the courage to die, but thinking of having no freedom in the future, she felt life would be pointless.
"Actually, if you make reasonable requests, I think they might consider them?" Yuanyuan spoke very lightly, but it sparked a flicker of hope in Zheng Lanying's heart.
"Yuanyuan, I suddenly feel like you're not that annoying anymore."
"You should just keep on disliking me." With that said, she pushed the stroller away.
She really didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Now that she's already reasoned with Zheng Lanying, she won't concern herself with what happens next.
Zeng Zhenqing looked at Tan Shaoting, "You see, your wife is better than you."
Everyone could see Tan Shaoting nodding seriously.
Yuanyuan pushed the stroller out, smelling the aroma of food, and suddenly laughed, recalling that what really matters most to everyone is eating.
She walked with a spring in her step. Regarding Zheng Lanying, she felt at ease with a clear conscience.
When it was time for lunch, Tan Shaoting still hadn't come back, so she pushed the stroller to get food.
A woman at the canteen drew a lot of attention.
Yuanyuan got the food and left with the stroller.
Then people started discussing.
The day before yesterday, Tan Shaoting challenged all the training people, and even the leader's guards weren't his match. Moreover, today everyone found out that this gentle-looking girl could also fight — appearances can be deceiving, indeed!
Yuanyuan didn't care what people said; she was truly a very self-centered person. People and things she didn't value or pay attention to didn't affect her at all.
Returning to the room, she finally sat down to eat, enjoying the steamed buns from the cook here, which she found particularly chewy.
After eating, she fed the three children until they were full, too, and then played with them, babbling, without understanding what they were saying. Buying a radio definitely became a priority, to find some fun for the kids.
When it was almost time, she coaxed them to sleep.
When the four of them woke up, it was too hot outside, so they stayed inside, entertaining themselves with small toys as they sat on the kang.
It was not until the night that Tan Shaoting returned, and she didn't mind. After eating, she trolled the children outside for a stroll.
The night sky here was quite beautiful. This place was safe, so there was nothing to worry about.
Chatting with the children from time to time was quite interesting.
After roaming around for an hour, she headed back.
It wasn't until after ten that Tan Shaoting returned.
They had eaten, so after washing up, he embraced his wife on the kang.
"Zheng Lanying asked for freedom in the future, but that's impossible. So instead, she requested a place where she could live comfortably with food and clothing provided."
"That request should be agreeable, right?"
"Yes, it's been agreed upon here. So, we've been listening to what Zheng Lanying had to say all day long."
"Is the interrogation over today?"
"Not yet. We have to continue tomorrow. How could this group be willing to let it end so easily?"
Yuanyuan nodded knowingly. That's to be expected.
The next morning, the four of them were still asleep when Tan Shaoting went to get breakfast for his wife from over there.
Zheng Lanying had come to terms, answering whatever was asked without holding back or concealing anything.
With her cooperation, the work went much more smoothly.
The treatment there for her was quite good, with meat and even refined grains. Eating her lunch like this, Zheng Lanying suddenly thought that this was not bad?
No need to work, with good food and drink.
Because of her cooperation, the work progressed very smoothly, taking only five days without yielding anything substantial.
They had a meeting to discuss, believing that pushing Zheng Lanying too hard wouldn't yield any more information, and today she was a bit agitated, which wasn't a good thing. So they decided to take her away to control the situation.
Tan Shaoting was also able to leave. He felt there were no significant findings, and the woman knew very little about their domain.
It's the economic department that had some gains, but he still took a day to sort things out.
"Leader, I have some time off, so our family is going back to see our hometown."
Zeng Zhenqing nodded, "Be careful, and remember that Shen Youwei is not magnanimous."
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Got it." In his heart, resolving issues with brute force was his approach, not putting Shen Youwei in his sights.
He filled the tank and then their family set off.
Now August had arrived, and the weather was scorching.
"Yuanyuan, should we go visit the city?"
Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, it's too attention-grabbing. Let's just visit the old home, it's good enough. There's nothing we need to buy gifts for in the county." Actually, if Tan Shaoting hadn't had enemies, she would have wanted to visit the Capital, but now she wasn't going.
