While Wang Liansheng was chatting with the dormitory supervisor, three boys sneaked out of the classroom and dashed to the playground. It was gym class for the direct training nursing class.
A dark-skinned, skinny, ordinary-looking boy said, "Brother Xiang, let’s wait by the woods next to the volleyball court. We will definitely intercept your sister Hongling."
Zhou Xiang turned back and glared at the boy, then laughed frivolously, "Is Hongling your sister too?"
"Huh?" The boy was stunned, and a monkey-faced boy next to him interrupted.
"Brother Xiang’s girlfriend is naturally called sister-in-law!"
The ordinary-looking boy ca to his senses and quickly agreed. Zhou Xiang was pleased and laughed lewdly, as if he could already see Wang Hongling throwing herself into his arms.
After gathering information, Wang Liansheng wandered around, wanting to see Zhou Gongshe’s son. Judging by Zhou Gongshe’s smug face, the Zhou Family seed to think marrying Hongling was an act of charity or grace??
Who do they think they are? Just because their positions are one or two levels higher, they truly see themselves as local emperors? Bah!
Not to ntion they aren’t emperors; even if they were choosing consorts, the Wang Family wouldn’t care!
Wang Liansheng casually made his way to the edge of the playground and saw a class in the middle of a gym session. Since it was a nursing class, they were all girls, and their youthful faces were quite captivating.
anwhile, at a glance, Wang Liansheng spotted his eldest niece, and in the next mont, he saw three sneaky figures at the edge of the playground.
Although Wang Hongling wasn’t the type of strong-willed girl, she had learned so ways to protect herself. Plus, she was good-natured, with several close friends with her, never going to isolated places, so she wasn’t too worried about her safety.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept it from her family and Uncle Four.
Today was no different; as soon as Zhou Xiang and the others arrived at the woods, Hongling’s friends secretly inford her. Then, when the teacher divided the group activities, Hongling opted out of volleyball, which she liked, and instead stayed to help several classmates preparing for the spring sports et, handling clothes and such.
The teacher, unaware of the situation, even praised Wang Hongling for her helpfulness.
From a distance, Wang Liansheng watched for a while, then approached the student guidance departnt saying so students were skipping class to play hooky. The staff imdiately rushed to the playground and caught Zhou Xiang and his friends smoking behind a row of greenery. They were taken back to write self-reviews.
Watching those three get dragged into the faculty building, Wang Liansheng quietly left the school to find his elder brother at the construction site.
He told his brother what had happened, and Wang Lianqi was furious, his head almost bursting, rolling up his sleeves saying, "Those little punks have a death wish, thinking I’m dead or sothing."
Seeing his brother’s reaction, Wang Liansheng, who had already taken matters into his own hands, inexplicably wanted to laugh.
He held his brother back and said, "Brother, this isn’t sothing that can be resolved with a beating. We need a long-term strategy. That family of bastards isn’t important; what’s important is our girl’s safety."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lianqi cald down and gazed at his fourth cousin.
In their family, the fourth cousin was the most educated, having entered the system after graduation and survived many ups and downs over a decade. His mind was much more ticulous and subtle than the brothers, and his words suggested he had a plan.
Wang Liansheng looked at his elder brother and suddenly smiled with a bit of helplessness.
He shook his head, led his brother to a quiet spot, and whispered his plan, "Find an excuse to arrange for Hongling to study as a day student, so we can pick her up and drop her off for a while. Leave the rest to ."
Wang Lianqi lit a cigarette, smoked half of it, then fiercely stubbed it out, throwing away the remaining butt before looking at his fourth brother, saying, "I’ll go ho and fetch your sister-in-law... hmm, let’s say your sister-in-law is unwell and needs care."
Wang Liansheng stared at his inherently kind brother, then burst into laughter and nodded.
Alright, let sister-in-law ’be sick’ for once. This excuse might be sowhat inauspicious but is one the school can’t reject.
"I’ll go ho and pack up..." Wang Liansheng said hurriedly.
Wang Lianqi wanted to refuse, but Wang Liansheng held him down, "We’ll move back to the estate, and you can stay at the new place. Saving so money is no big deal; what matters is ensuring safety."
Finding a suitable house, both secure and with a good environnt, is increasingly challenging and can’t be done in a day or two.
Knowing his fourth brother’s words made sense, Wang Lianqi didn’t persist and nodded in agreent.
As soon as Wang Liansheng left, he pushed his motorcycle and hurriedly returned to their hotown to bring his wife into the city.
As for the family’s land, since he and Wang Lianfa rarely had ti to return ho to farm, they didn’t plant labor-intensive crops. During winter and spring, they had wheat, in sumr and fall, corn and soybeans. These crops only needed two rounds of fertilizer and occasional watering during droughts, not requiring much effort.
Nevertheless, when Wang Lianqi took Zhao Erni with him when leaving ho, he still advised their parents not to rush with the farm work. He and his brother would make ti to co back, and if truly unable to, they could hire soone to manage the fields.
For brothers Wang Lianqi and Wang Lianfa, spending a hundred or eighty to hire help for farming was nothing. If not for their parents’ reluctance to give up the harvest, they would rather have stopped farming altogether.
Even after a busy year of farming, the yield minus the cost wasn’t as worthwhile as buying grain directly.
Having just moved to a new ho and now needing to move back, Wang Liansheng naturally returned ho to discuss with his wife.
Ling Chengyan happened to have matters to discuss with Wang Liansheng too, so she took the initiative to enter the kitchen to help cook. Before she could bring up the issue of her transfer, Wang Liansheng first told her all about Hongling.
Ling Chengyan raised her eyebrow slightly as she listened, in disbelief glancing at the slightly ’frail-looking’ man, saying, "So you beat soone up? In the office no less?"
Wang Liansheng didn’t regret hitting the person; he deserved it.
However, being questioned by his wife, he felt inexplicably guilty, saying, "I don’t randomly hit people; he had a filthy mouth and a dirty mind..."
Ling Chengyan listened to his defense, suddenly laughed, "Well done!"
Wang Liansheng froze, dumbfounded, unable to respond to his wife’s words.
Ling Chengyan was inexplicably in a good mood, finding the man before her—dumb yet... hmm, strangely adorable? He amused her.
She suddenly raised her hand to his cheek, rubbed it, and said, "Well done!"
She took the dish from Wang Liansheng’s hand, then with smiling eyes added, "Next ti, if there’s soone to beat, leave it to !"
In our family, you handle the brains, I’ll handle the brawn!
"Huh?..." Wang Liansheng finally reacted, wanting to respond to his wife but finding she had already left. He called out softly, feeling a mix of complex emotions— Was it joy, embarrassnt, or frustration!
