Chapter 164 The Key Role of This Business
Su Wanwan nodded. She was keenly aware that there must be more than just Lan Ying in this small discussion circle.
That person could be a young man, or it could be not just him, but a group of people.
Otherwise, with Lan Ying's attitude, how could he dare to say such words to her so confidently?
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became dull. Su Wanwan, who stopped talking, seemed to be frightened. She silently covered herself with the quilt and lay down alone before the night fell. As for what Wang E and Lan Ying had just said, judging from her nervous attitude, it was unlikely to get the details of their secret business.
After lying quietly on the bed for a while, Su Wanwan suddenly had a new idea in her mind: since she couldn't get more business information directly from the two people, as well as news about the young people in the village doing business, why not track their actions?
Anyway, she and Xu Yan were helping to take care of the injured in the clinic during the day, so they had most of their free time. And it was Lan Ying who gave them the injections, which neither Xu Yan nor Su Wanwan could do, so they had more free time to use.
Since they are unwilling to reveal it, it would be a good idea to just follow them secretly.
Su Wanwan made up her mind and slowly closed her eyes. However, just as she fell asleep, a figure seemed to appear in front of her eyes...
It seems that the existence of Li Meifen has been ignored. There are only two days left before Li Meifen is locked up. Judging from the information leaked from the village, it is likely that there will not be too much punishment, at most it will be a warning.
This means that Li Meifen is likely to ask to change dormitories after being released. At that time, she and Xu Yan will need to be more careful to avoid being noticed by Li Meifen if they want to follow Lan Ying and the others. Otherwise...
Wait! This is a foreign village, and their business has nothing to do with me and Xu Yan. Li Meifen and Lan Ying are in such a mess, why can't she also understand the truth?
Besides...
Su Wanwan once again recalled the story that Li Meifen shared with her in the courtyard.
Maybe Li Meifen already knew that many young people in the village were doing this kind of business privately...
If so...
Su Wanwan shuddered at the sudden chill behind her. It seemed that there were still many unknown things waiting for her to uncover.
The night passed quickly, and at dawn the next day, Wang E got up early as usual, washed up, took her lunch box and kettle and left home. There was no sign that she was involved in Lan Ying's activities.
Thanks to Su Wanwan falling asleep early last night, she was naturally the first person to wake up in the dormitory in the morning.
If it weren't for this coincidence, she would never have discovered that Wang E had gotten up much earlier than expected!
Su Wanwan was cautious and stood up quietly, even steadying her breathing so that people would think she was still in a dream.
After getting up, Wang E was extremely cautious, afraid of making any inappropriate noise.
Originally, Su Wanwan thought that she got up early for a certain task, but unexpectedly, she did not brush her teeth or wash her face. Instead, she turned around and took out a large basin full of packaging materials from behind the curtain of the cabinet under the bed.
Su Wanwan was still dozing off, with blurred vision, and could only barely see everything.
Her intuition told her that Wang E must be a key player in this business.
That's right, Wang E picked up the basin, but did not wake up the sleeping Lan Ying, but walked straight out of the bedroom and quietly prepared the seasonings needed for stewing pig's trotters in another room.
Although she couldn't see what was going on next door while lying on the kang, she could smell the familiar smell of smoked meat outside the door yesterday.
No wonder! She had always wondered how Wang E could be so busy and manage her business, but now that she was specialized in mixing seasonings, everything became clear.
Su Wanwan would continue to lie there in silence until Wang E finished her work after about ten minutes of hard work. When she returned, she carefully covered the room with two or three layers of towels to ensure that the smell could not leak out.
Indeed, when Wang E struggled to put the basin back to its original place and lowered the cabinet curtain, the aroma of stewed meat in the air instantly diminished by half. At this time, the sky was still bright, and it was still half an hour away from the usual time to get up.
I don't know if Wang E and Lan Ying had an agreement in advance, or if they had already had this tacit understanding before she moved in. Su Wanwan "woke up" at a normal time, but found that the dormitory was operating as usual, and the atmosphere was still calm and hurried.
Lan Ying was still dressing herself up at the table alone, as usual, as if nothing had changed.
Thinking of Xu Yan's mention of another young woman who had been to the abandoned house, Su Wanwan sat on the edge of the kang and made a bold guess: Lan Ying stayed in the clinic the whole morning and it was impossible for her to move the large basin. It must be that woman who took it back to the dormitory early while no one was paying attention.
This became the only reasonable explanation.
At about the same time as yesterday, Lan Ying finished washing up, wearing a floral cotton shirt, and walked lazily outside. Su Wanwan followed Lan Ying to the clinic in silence.
As expected, Xu Yan was still waiting at the door early.
The injured in the ward gradually recovered, and one person was completely awake. But the old doctor suggested that he stay there for a few more days for observation, just in case, and the man was willing to obey this, after all, this was work injury benefits, even if he worked less time, the points would still be paid.
The injured guy recovered some strength and started talking.
"What's wrong? Where did you go during the day? I remember that I didn't see you guys staying here for a long time yesterday." As he said this, he asked everyone who came in.
Hearing his remarks, Lan Ying frowned slightly, obviously having some doubts.
"You mean, except for yesterday morning, no one seemed to be here in the afternoon?" As she said this, her eyes fell on Su Wanwan intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of questioning.
Su Wanwan responded calmly to this interrogation: "Yesterday afternoon, Xu Yan said he had something to do and had to go out for a while, so we went for a walk outside. It was only a few dozen steps away from the house. If they had any urgent needs, we would have heard them if they called out. Maybe we didn't explain it well when we went out before."
Although Su Wanwan had replied, Lan Ying still glanced at her with some distrust, obviously not fully agreeing with this explanation. However, Su Wanwan didn't care about it, but was a little surprised to find that Lan Ying didn't leave the clinic for the whole morning.
What was even more peculiar was that the medical book on the table was still at the place where she had opened it the previous morning, indicating that she had not done anything else during this period of time. Su Wanwan and Xu Yan just sat idle near the door for half a morning. Compared with the hard work of harvesting rice in the fields, Su Wanwan obviously liked the life here more.
At noon, the three people from the clinic went to the cafeteria for lunch as usual.
When Bai Luwei picked up the bowl of rice, he was already waiting for Su Wanwan and the others at his seat.
Seeing the two people coming from afar, she hurriedly went to greet them: "You know, ever since Xu Yan came to work here, I feel that my daily work is really boring. Every day I look forward to talking to you more during meals."
