Ye Hua got off the train, asked about the rural shuttle buses, and was carrying a bunch of things.
His son had been in the countryside for more than half a year, and at first, his son wrote to say he couldn’t adapt there.
His food was worse than a pig’s, he did more work than anyone, and the blisters on his hands and feet could testify to his fatigue.
He complained about all sorts of things, feeling wronged, crying and begging them to bring him back quickly.
Ye Hua also went to cry to the old man.
But the old man, well, he’s soone who’s endured hardships, soone who’s walked alongside the new China.
In the old man’s mind, enduring a bit of hardship when young is nothing.
His grandson, spoiled by his daughter-in-law, could use this as a chance to mature, lest he becos overly proud yet underachieving.
There will be tis when he does have to endure hardships.
How could the old man agree to help Ye Hua make a phone call?
Ye Hua was even more resentful towards the old man.
She always thought the old man and old lady favored the eldest son more, always seeming displeased with them, never agreeing with anything they did. And when it ca to the old man and old lady having money or goods, they always hesitated when help was needed.
They never genuinely helped them, otherwise, would she and Fang Zhiyuan be stuck in such a lousy position as a director?
In her own family, Fang Peizhong is their grandson.
Sure, the eldest also has two sons, but compared to Fang Peizhong.
Could it be that he isn’t a grandson too?
But the old man clearly loves the other two more, and shows less affection for Fang Peizhong.
Ye Hua stord out angrily.
Recently, she wanted to send her son so things, so money, but she had heard that the three provinces there were struck by a snow disaster, roads were blocked by snow, making it impossible to go in or out.
She was so anxious at ho that she was pacing in circles. And then, she finally heard that the snow had lted there and the situation was alleviating.
She imdiately bought things, bought a ticket, and prepared to visit her son.
Mainly because she didn’t have the right connections, she couldn’t get a sleeper ticket and spent the whole night cramped in a hard seat, with people packed close together in the carriage, shoulder to shoulder.
Ye Hua, worried about her belongings being stolen, hardly rested on the way.
Finally arriving in the county town.
She bought a bus ticket to Kenqing Farm. As she turned her head, she saw a familiar figure.
Jiang Xiaoxiao!?
What is she doing here?
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao made Ye Hua furious; it was all because of this troubleso girl.
She could have gone to the countryside for her brother, saving Fang Peizhong from suffering, making everybody at ho happy.
Instead, she went to the countryside for soone else’s brother, truly siding with outsiders. Jiang Xiaoxiao never figured out whose child she truly was.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked no different than the last ti they t, not even thinner or tanned.
Ye Hua was even more uncomfortable. If Jiang Xiaoxiao had fallen on hard tis, she would feel better, since this was Jiang Xiaoxiao’s own choice. Yet now, Jiang Xiaoxiao looked no different than when she was in the city.
Ye Hua wanted to devour Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Following Jiang Xiaoxiao, she arrived at a courtyard.
The one opening the door for Jiang Xiaoxiao was a man.
Ye Hua widened her eyes.
Jumping to conclusions and assuming Jiang Xiaoxiao was having an affair.
Ye Hua sneered, thinking, well, she ca to the countryside as a volunteer, yet she’s gotten involved with soone.
Though nowadays there’s talk of free love, seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao like this.
She should be on the farm, but she ended up in the county town; what does that say?
It’s a private rendezvous.
Though love is free between n and won,
being locked in a yard alone together ans no good, that’s surely having an affair!
If caught, she’d face re-education through labor, or even a sentence.
Ye Hua’s mind was already wickedly made up that Jiang Xiaoxiao was up to no good.
Her eyes rolled as she thought, since Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t help their family,
it doesn’t matter if she has a good reputation or not; it makes no difference to herself.
She never counted on Jiang Xiaoxiao to acknowledge her as her mother.
Why would she need such a daughter?
If there was a way, she wished Jiang Xiaoxiao would disappear on the spot.
When they swapped babies back then, she had unwrapped the baby’s swaddle; weather like that, survivors like Jiang Xiaoxiao were tough indeed.
So this ti, she wouldn’t bla herself.
Ye Hua went up and pounded on the door.
Her force was like bandits raiding a village.
It was the afternoon, people just off work, many people were coming and going, plus the neighbors around, hos were occupied.
Hearing such a noise, many people ca out to check.
Who doesn’t enjoy so gossip?
Hearing such a commotion, it was obvious sothing bad was happening.
Chief Wei ca out and imdiately realized it was from his neighbor’s ho, recalling the last ti Jiang Yue’s parents-in-law caused a commotion, fearing it was Jiang Yue’s parents-in-law again.
He ca out to help. Last ti he didn’t help and felt very guilty, even suspecting Jiang Yue and Qin Ming of mistreating their parents.
When the truth ca out, Chief Wei greatly regretted it; what a good opportunity it had been to strengthen relations with Qin Ming.
Who would have thought he’d take the wrong side?
Thinking a bit would have made it clear, soone as honest as Qin Ming couldn’t have done such a thing.
But many people get easily misled.
With rumors spreading, even he couldn’t help being led by the nose, this ti he had to firmly stand his ground.
No matter what, he would definitely help Qin Ming and Jiang Yue; they’re good folks, and Qin Ming is enthusiastic, diligent, and hardworking in the factory, learning things quickly.
The factory leaders also think well of Qin Ming.
Plus, he knows Mr. Wang supports Qin Ming, who didn’t know that Mr. Wang was set for promotion this ti.
They didn’t know what specific position, but since they ntioned promotion, it wouldn’t be anything else.
In their small county town, they couldn’t hold back soone as capable and talented as Mr. Wang.
What if, in the future, he got to the city?
Holding a higher position, you could be crushed under the weight of it.
No one doesn’t need favors done occasionally.
When the ti cos, there’ll be plenty of tis needing help from him.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, open the door for ! Jiang Xiaoxiao, co out!"
Though Ye Hua wasn’t naturally a shrew, she’d already planned before causing a big scene; unless she ruined Jiang Xiaoxiao’s reputation, she wouldn’t rest. Besides, being a shrew, where nobody knew her, didn’t matter.
A few nosy won around quickly asked Ye Hua.
"Comrade, what are you doing here? Do you know the people living here?"
Ye Hua was waiting for these nosy neighbors to ask, so she could start her performance.
