Chapter 799: Chapter 0799: Blessing in Disguise 3_1

"No, it’s mine!" Xibao laid flat on the ground, pressing the ball under his belly.

His weight was a bit heavy, and the ball flattened under him.

It was Sunday today, and the kids, like kites unleashed, had almost all come out to romp and play.

Little Stone ran up to Xibao, sweaty and panting, hands on his hips, "Lu Xibao, you can’t be this selfish! What’s wrong with letting us kick the ball for a bit? We’ve included you in the game."

Xibao grunted, "Nah, you guys didn’t play with me."

Song Gang said, "You guys say that you’re including Xibao, but when it’s time to kick the ball, you don’t wait for Xibao. It’s his ball, after all."

"That’s right!" shouted Xibao loudly.

However, laying on a ball was distinctly uncomfortable. He didn’t last long before getting up on his own, rubbing his belly. Little Stone took this opportunity to kick the ball away and a group of boys chased after it, cheering.

"My ball! My ball!" Xibao shouted as he ran after them.

Older kids were faster due to their longer legs, and Xibao, hampered by his chubby physique, couldn’t catch up.

While the others were slender, only Xibao had a bear-like figure. Feng Qingxue could only scratch her ears, "I must get him to eat less."

Guo Xiuying, holding on to Fubao, overheard her, "What did you say? You are so cruel! In order to eat more good food yourself, you would reduce Xibao’s food. Can a mother really do that?"

Everyone knew she was joking and started laughing.

Little Fubao, in Guo Xiuying’s arms, revealed a sweet smile.

"Oh my, our little Fubao is getting so chubby, just like his brother," said Wang Xinru, who was looking on with envy, "I can totally picture Xibao being a soft, white, plump dumpling at this age! Qingxue, you raise your children really well. One Fubao is worth two kids of another family."

Feng Qingxue looked helplessly at the chubby baby in front of her, Fubao had chubby cheeks and a very visible double chin. He was much plumper than Xibao was at this age and his weight showed it.

This is just baby fat, he’ll lose it after he’s weaned, Feng Qingxue consoled herself.

The kids were running all over the place, and the adults grouped together in threes and fives, chatting about the happenings in the unit, "There’s a meeting tomorrow to condemn the corrupt, are you going?"

The one who spoke was Huang Xiuzhi, asking Feng Qingxue and the others.

Feng Qingxue shook her head, "I have to work tomorrow. Unless the unit orders everyone to attend, I won’t be there."

As someone who had been falsely accused, Feng Qingxue deeply understood human nature. Recently, she had been more cautious and not even letting Lu Jiang purchase local products from Tibet for fear of further complications.

With the confiscated items as evidence, the guilt of Qi Gang, Chen Ju, Dan Qingming, and others was beyond doubt. They didn’t need her to kick them while they were down.

She was now extremely disgusted with Cao Hongzhu. She just waited for the unit and the investigators to deal with the false accuser.

Wang Xinru said in a low voice, "It may be tough to deal with someone like Cao Hongzhu. Be prepared."

"Why?" Qingxue furrowed her brow.

"She’s a warrior of socialism. She exposed the corruption of capitalist roaders. Although you and Lu Jiang were proven innocent after the investigation, others were found guilty!" Even if one was unhappy, they had to admit she did a good job.

Feng Qingxue’s face soured, "So, she won’t face any consequences? Did we deserve to be falsely accused?"
