Honestly, Tian Xiang didn’t want to get involved in Widow Jiang’s matter.
Widow Jiang saw that she was unmoved, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Tian Xiang, I didn’t find a lover, nor did I seduce anyone like they said. Ever since my husband passed away, the way people have looked at hasn’t been quite right. Over the years, I’ve been with only one man, Lu Feng, and back then he coaxed and deceived into sneaking together. I knew he wouldn’t marry , but I didn’t expect him to harm in this way.
Tian Xiang, just this once, help , please. I don’t want to go to jail. I just need to send a telegram and have soone co to pick up. I’m begging you, please."
Widow Jiang knelt down.
Her reputation is ruined now. She tried to get help from people around her this morning, but no one was willing to help. Everyone looked at her with disdain and disgust.
Tian Xiang took out a pen and notebook and handed it to her, "Sit up."
Seeing Tian Xiang willing to help, Widow Jiang imdiately bowed her head, "Thank you. I’ll bring you the money after I’m out."
Widow Jiang shook as she wrote down the address and a few words and handed them to Tian Xiang.
After leaving the police station, Tian Xiang went to the post office to send the telegram for her. The recipient was soone called Tan Erzhu, presumably the person Widow Jiang trusted most at the mont.
In the afternoon, returning to the factory, she didn’t go out again and stayed in the office.
Since Director Li spoke to Chen Yong, Chen Yong beca more diligent, often running outside, and recently resolved an elderly couple’s divorce case, successfully persuading them to separate.
In contrast, Tao Huilan seed to have given up, unable to muster enthusiasm for anything.
After work in the afternoon, Tian Xiang bought several copies of Red Star Weekly by the roadside.
This morning’s newspaper already covered the legal awareness lecture, and the newspaper graciously published their group photo and ntioned Tian Xiang several tis throughout.
Tian Xiang rarely felt this happy, knowing these newspapers would be enough for Hu Honglian, as a mother, to boast for a while.
That night’s event was as lively as ever. After it ended, ng Cheng’an offered to take Tian Xiang ho. But this ti, the two didn’t go alone; they left together with the tricycle and only parted ways at Sanli Lane.
After what happened with Widow Jiang yesterday, Tian Xiang felt she needed to be more vigilant. Lu Feng, that scumbag, collaborated with those hooligans, and there’s no telling when he might target her.
ng Cheng’an was smiling the whole way, pleased to be able to take Tian Xiang ho.
Tian Xiang had confird that this person indeed had so feelings for her.
But he didn’t know if he was shy or sothing, not daring to say it outright.
Tian Xiang liked ng Cheng’an’s face, but she wasn’t sure if their personalities matched. She decided to observe further.
Returning to the compound, Tian Xiang saw Hu Honglian waiting for her at the street corner from afar.
Tian Xiang pointed to Hu Honglian for ng Cheng’an, "My mom’s right there."
ng Cheng’an turned the bike around and left imdiately.
Hu Honglian had seen a well-dressed handso man bringing her daughter ho last week, wanting to ask about it then but got interrupted by the newspaper event. Today, she ca early to the lane corner to see if that handso man would return, but from afar, she saw her daughter send him away!
As Tian Xiang walked closer, Hu Honglian, with a pulled face, asked her daughter, "Who was that?"
Tian Xiang: "I already told you before, a colleague from the union."
"Which departnt? Why is he bringing you ho every day? Xiangxiang, are you secretly seeing soone?"
No colleague is that diligent and kind!
Hu Honglian didn’t believe it. She too had been young, though she t her husband through a blind date, they spent half a month together like that. Her husband was the sa; always wanting to stick together, picking her up to and from work.
Tian Xiang: "Mom, what are you thinking? It’s getting cold recently, fewer people are out at night, so Chairman Jiang was concerned about my safety going ho and arranged for colleagues to escort . Don’t overthink it, I’ll definitely tell you when the ti cos."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Hu Honglian still had doubts, so Tian Xiang quickly took out the newspaper.
Okay then, Hu Honglian had no mind for anything else, entirely absorbed in the newspaper.
Wow, her good daughter hasn’t even started work for long but has done well enough to get into the newspaper, truly bringing honor to the Old Tian Family.
The next morning, Tian Xiang hadn’t even dressed yet when she heard her mom’s bright laughter, no doubt bragging, showing off the newspaper coverage.
Tian Xiang took her mug and toothbrush to wash up, sure enough, seeing several wives and aunts in the yard, asking her enviously if rewards would be given for getting in the newspaper, confirming her job trial’s success.
No reward, and Tian Xiang dared not make promises about the job trial without confirmation, so it was still uncertain.
Though she said this, everyone still held Tian Xiang in high regard.
"It’s in the newspaper; such good results definitely lead to sothing," said Pan Yuzhen, who was always supportive of Tian Xiang.
The girl was sprightly from a young age, always leaping around without a mont’s peace, quite adept.
Others echoed her sentint. Regardless of what they thought, they refrained from spoiling the mood, knowing that a few pleasant words wouldn’t cost them anything.
Unexpectedly, He Cuifen erged at so point, snorting, "The leadership hasn’t confird anything, yet you’ve already decided it for her."
Clearly unable to stand Second Room’s glory, she appeared to stir trouble.
Hu Honglian eyed her with a cold laugh, "Regardless if Xiangxiang’s position is secure, she’s achieved results, with banners and newspaper coverage. Across Sanli Lane, how many can claim such achievents? Unlike so who lost their jobs, wandering around all day, embarrassing their families."
Recently, Tian Chuying’s job sale incidents beca widely known.
Jobs are precious nowadays; she barely secured a position before passing it to soone else, and everyone quietly mocked her lack of sense.
Previously, Hu Honglian looked down on next door, hardly speaking to He Cuifen, her sister-in-law.
But now, having been t with sarcasm directly, she had to respond.
Initially, when Tian Chuying lost her job, He Cuifen avoided the topic, feeling ashad.
But today, she didn’t hide, even proudly raising her head, "Who says Chuying has no job? The health clinic job was too paltry; our family doesn’t care for it."
He Cuifen haughtily told Hu Honglian, "Don’t think only your family can enter Red Fifth Street. My Chuying is not to be understated; she might soon work there too, as a regular worker, not just on trial."
Tian Chuying is going to work at Red Fifth Street too?
And in a formal position!
The group exchanged glances, shocked and perplexed.
By the ditchside, washing her mouth, Tian Xiang looked up, squinting at Tian Chuying, similarly out to wash up.
She’s entering Red Fifth Street too?
Lu Zazha’s promised benefits, no doubt!
With Widow Jiang’s incident, the two helped each other.
