She Lives without Regret in This Life

Capítulo 881: Chapter 927: Captured

“Arrest him and report to the Workers’ Union Committee.” And so the group swarmed over, grabbing the person roughly without saying a word.

Hai Lan stood there, a smug smile on her lips.

“Comrade Hai Lan, are you alright? Were you frightened?”

“I’m fine.” Hai Lan waved her hand cheerfully. Hmph! Once you’re in the Workers’ Union, even nine lives wouldn’t spare you from being tormented until none are left. Carrying a weapon is a capital offense.

Hopefully, they’ll execute him before the Su Family finds him!

“Comrade Hai Lan, we’re grateful to you today. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have caught a spy.”

“This has nothing to do with me; it’s mainly your achievement.”

“Alright, I’ll get back to work then.”

After the young comrade left, Hai Lan looked at the shattered clay pot on the ground, bent over to pick it up, and tossed it into the nearby trash bin before carrying her luggage back.

After delivering the soup to Mr. Chen, Sheng Ning went back. She finished the last stew in the kitchen and helped the auntie bring dishes to the dining table together. The dishes were abundant today, and the people chatting in the living room had already lost their interest in talking.

Their stomachs were growling with hunger, and seeing that it was already twelve o’clock, it was indeed time to be hungry.

“Shall we go eat now? Ningning’s cooking is really delicious!” Mr. Su stood up and said with a smile, “Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhao should also try Ningning’s cooking.”

“Yes!” Xu Xianxiong said, “Ningning is my daughter-in-law, of course, I know.” In critical moments, he wouldn’t concede. Ningning is Qigang’s wife, his daughter-in-law. In terms of cooking, it should be for the parents-in-law daily, so how could it be the grandfather’s turn?

He’s the grandfather, and she’s already married. Hmph! As the father-in-law, Xu Xianxiong felt indignant.

“…” The old master wasn’t happy, he was jealous.

“Let’s go, let’s eat quickly! Everyone is hungry.” Zhao Lanzi gave Xu Xianxiong a glare. He’s blind to the situation, why argue with an old man in someone else’s house? Ningning is inherently filial, is there any fear that she won’t cook?

“Dad, hurry.” Su Hai, trying to lighten the atmosphere, pulled Mr. Su toward the dining room. He was afraid that if they continued talking, they might start fighting. What if the old master impulsively lifted his cane to smash it down?

Su Hai could already imagine what a fight would look like, hehehe… It would certainly be spectacular, just thinking of it was exciting. Wait… Su Hai, this is your house, not someone else’s, you shouldn’t be watching the drama.

Su Hai pursed his lips, forcibly resisting the urge to enjoy the commotion, and quickly separated the two. Once at the table, Xu Xianxiong and Mr. Su sat far apart, one on the east, the other on the west.

“So much delicious food?” Xu Xianxiong’s eyes widened, pointing to a dish, “What is this?”

The others looked, while the auntie had a mysterious smile on her face.

“Hey, what dish is this? I don’t remember buying this in the morning?”

Su Hai, well-versed, had just recently been on a research trip to other cities and had seen it before. “Isn’t this Huai’an Soft Bag? It’s boneless eel, shredded, making the eel look like vermicelli. This technique is amazing.”

Sheng Ning felt a bit smug, perhaps because the grandfather wanted to entertain guests; the ingredients bought today were exceptionally rich, allowing her to try things she couldn’t before.

The old master tasted a bite with his chopsticks, his eyes crinkling with a smile, “I like this dish, Ningning definitely made it for us elders.”
