"Dad, Shengi rarely cos over, so don’t say too much," Gao Guo Cheng defended Li Shengi.
Li Shengi glanced at Gao Guo Cheng and said, "Second brother, you should get married too."
"Forget it, I’m old already, being alone is quite good," Gao Guo Cheng shook his head.
"Second brother, you’re only in your forties, that’s not old at all" Li Shengi really hoped that Gao Guo Cheng would get married soon, so she wouldn’t always feel guilty.
Mrs. Li didn’t want Li Shengi to continue, so she said, "Shengi, let’s go."
Li Shengi responded with an "Oh," and then realized, feeling sowhat awkward, she said goodbye to her family and left with Mrs. Li.
As Li Shengi was leaving, Gao Guoqing’s young son Gao Guangming voiced his displeasure, "Auntie cos to invite Grandma for a al at her place, why didn’t she invite Grandpa?"
Everyone paused, not having thought about this issue before, and Guoqing’s wife glared at her son, scolding, "Eat your food, why the fuss?"
"It’s true though, Auntie should invite Grandpa, whether he goes or not is one thing, but whether she asks is another," Gao Guangming disliked Li Shengi; his family often thought about and cared for this non-blood-related aunt of his, but she was indifferent and dismissive toward them, acting as if she was entitled sothing from them.
He continued, "But Auntie definitely ca running to our house because Uncle scolded her at the Red Star Production Team, looking for Grandma to save the situation."
"Let’s just eat," finally, Mr. Gao spoke up.
Yang Zhonghong observed the Gao family mbers and then looked at the silent Gao Guo Cheng before also picking up his chopsticks to eat.
Outside, Mrs. Li was displeased and told Li Shengi, "How could you upset He Hongjun like that, it’s right that Hongjun doesn’t want you going to the Red Star Production Team, you’re sotis just too foolish."
"Mom, even you’re scolding , I had sothing to do there; as soon as I returned, he hit with his cane without asking questions, I’ve had enough, if it weren’t for the kids I wouldn’t tolerate him."
Li Shengi complained nonstop to Mrs. Li about He Hongjun’s domineering and authoritarian ways, treating their ho like a military troop and them like his soldiers.
"You are old enough, already about to be a grandmother, why stir up so much trouble every day? Hongjun has been good enough to you. Today you definitely shouldn’t have gone to the Red Star Production Team; everyone is avoiding that chaos, only you foolishly rushed over there," Mrs. Li sighed helplessly at her daughter.
However, Li Shengi didn’t think she was wrong and proudly told her mother, "Mom, today when I was there, I was quite impressive. The people at the Red Star Production Team gathered around , listening to how we could improve productivity. Mom, you don’t know, it felt so good, I felt like I was grand and mighty."
Smack—Mrs. Li slapped Li Shengi on the head, startling her, "You aren’t talking nonsense, are you? What do you know about productivity, you don’t decide what happens in the production team, don’t ss around, otherwise people will co knocking on your door."
"How do I not understand? I also participate in matters of the production team, although I’m not the leader, there isn’t a task I haven’t undertaken. If Gao Guoqiang weren’t there, maybe I would have beco the female leader of the production team."
As soon as Li Shengi’s unrestrained words ca out, Mrs. Li couldn’t stand it anymore, imdiately turning around and saying, "I’m not going with you, you go back and eat."
Li Shengi quickly stopped Mrs. Li; since she had co, she definitely couldn’t let her mother return alone, and if her mother was there, He Hongjun wouldn’t dare lose his temper. She quickly said, "Mom, I was just saying, Gao Guoqiang really holds his ground, he’ll definitely be the production team leader, I was just talking. But besides Gao Guoqiang, I don’t think I’m worse than any other production team leaders, and that Liu Haiguo is just clueless, his leading the production team is entirely reckless."
When He Hongjun saw Mrs. Li coming over, he greeted her with a "Mom" and didn’t say another word. Mrs. Li looked around the cold, quiet house, seeing her sons He Xuebing and He Xuewu cooking in the kitchen and felt that her daughter was really too disgraceful; if any other family had such a daughter-in-law, the husband would have put her in her place long ago.
So, Mrs. Li personally went into the kitchen to help cook; when the food was ready, He Xuegang ca back shyly with Dong ihua.
Li Shengi seeing her eldest son and daughter-in-law couldn’t help but understand and said, "Let’s eat."
At the He family’s dinner table, because Mrs. Liu was present, He Hongjun also tempered his temper, while Li Shengi continued to brag about her day at the Red Star Production Team. Mrs. Liu repeatedly kicked her under the table, even played peacemaker, worried her son-in-law might get angry.
He Xuegang and Dong ihua were affectionate, He Xuewu focused on eating, He Xuebing listened to Li Shengi’s words and frowned repeatedly, finally unable to hold back, he said, "Mom, the Red Star Production Team isn’t just about productivity now, but several people have died, why must you go there, isn’t that just asking for trouble?"
"I was just there to discuss productivity, it has nothing to do with those deaths," Li Shengi said.
"But by going there, you were supporting Liu Haiguo, who is partially responsible for this matter. Additionally, the Red Star Production Team has been lagging behind for years in terms of productivity; why go there now? What do you think the families who lost their loved ones would feel?"
As soon as He Xuebing finished speaking, He Xuegang also nodded, "Mom, you really shouldn’t have gone today."
Li Shengi turned unhappy imdiately, "Why do you all bla , where did I support Liu Haiguo, the deaths weren’t Liu Haiguo’s fault, you can’t pin that on him."
"How can you not pin that on Liu Haiguo, he is the leader, he led them out, and five people died; how is he not responsible as the leader, are you thinking with your ass?" He Hongjun couldn’t hold back anymore.
Dong ihua was eating fine, but upon hearing He Hongjun’s words, she choked, unable to swallow or spit it out, looking constipated.
He Xuegang asked, "What’s wrong, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Uh uh uh, Dong ihua couldn’t hold it in and vomited.
Li Shengi was imdiately startled, "ihua, are you pregnant?"
Mrs. Liu couldn’t bear to look at this foolish daughter, glaring and exclaiming, "What are you talking about, what pregnant? Talking nonsenseless." Their grandson had just returned, how could their granddaughter-in-law be pregnant?
Ashad, Dong ihua’s face turned from white to red, feeling extrely depressed.
Li Shengi also realized, but still said to Dong ihua, "Then what are you throwing up for, you think my mom’s cooking doesn’t taste good?"
"No, Grandma’s food is delicious, but I feel unwell, I’m full, I’ll head back to my room first," Dong ihua left not wanting to stay any longer, carrying a stomach full of frustration.
