The blood-selling incident involving Chen Shouwang passed with much ado about nothing; it wasn’t clear whether it was because Chen Shouwang himself felt guilty or because it was embarrassing, but he knew that Qi Taiguo must have told Cheng Su about what had happened, so every time he saw Cheng Su, he felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable.
Hualing, who noticed this, couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable as well, always remembering the scene of Cheng Su supporting Chen Shouwang, although she knew it was a misunderstanding and that Cheng Su had good intentions, it still left a bad taste in her mouth.
Therefore, Hualing simply chose not to mention her own impolite remarks that day and considered it water under the bridge.
Cheng Su, on the other hand, did not bother to guess at the couple’s thoughts. She wasn’t one to gossip and stir up trouble in other people’s marriages; she behaved as if she knew nothing, greeted them with her usual generosity, which only made Chen Shouwang feel even more ashamed.
Regardless, the matter faded into insignificance.
By mid to late August, families in the compound gradually moved out, leaving many empty houses. Some people weren’t eligible for housing allocation, so there were quite a few who hoped to pull some strings to get a whole or half a set of rooms.
Since Cheng Su’s family already had their apartment assigned, they didn’t meddle in such matters and focused solely on their business and studies.
After Cheng Su and Old Zhou discussed going into business in the southern city, they visited their son and then told Qi Taiguo and the others about their decision to try their luck in Shenzhen.
Qi Taiguo felt reluctant to let them go but also knew it was a good decision. They got together once more at Old Zhou’s house, took Cheng Su’s valuable advice, packed up, and headed for Shenzhen.
After Old Zhou and the others left, Qi Taiguo was somewhat disheartened for a few days, until Cheng Su teased him for being sentimental, which helped him regain his composure and commit wholeheartedly to his military duties.
