Wang Xueyong had lately been preoccupied with the issue of Liu Haihua, of course, there was no other choice in the matter—he was indeed eagerly hoping for Liu Haihua to have a miscarriage.
Liu Haihua obediently left The Wangs, leaving only Wang Xueyong at home. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were not home, Wang Yuncai was at work, and Gao Guihua had returned to her parents’ house.
Thus, when he saw from a distance that Liu Haihua was walking out from his doorstep, he immediately glared and asked, "Why are you coming out of my house?"
Liu Haihua was startled, but upon seeing Gao Guihua, she retorted with a glare, "None of your business." With that, Liu Haihua left.
Hearing the voices outside, Wang Xueyong walked to the door and called out, "Guihua, come in."
"Why did she come to our house?" Gao Guihua quickly asked.
"This isn’t Mr. Wang asked me to join the production team as secretary, right? I mentioned to Liu Haiguo before that I wanted to go to Red Star Production Team."
As soon as Wang Xueyong finished speaking, Gao Guihua said, "Of course, you should choose Guangming Production Team."
Gao Guihua had returned to her parents’ house precisely because of this matter. Now pregnant, Gao Guihua’s pregnancy pleased Gao Guofu and Lin Xuebi immensely. Hearing that Mr. Wang wanted Wang Xueyong to experience life in the production team, Gao Guofu and Lin Xuebi didn’t hesitate to have Gao Guihua persuade Wang Xueyong to choose Guangming Production Team.
Lin Xuebi felt extremely proud thinking about her son-in-law becoming the secretary of Guangming Production Team. She thought it was time for the people of Guangming Production Team to see that their new secretary was her son-in-law.
When she lived in the city, Lin Xuebi did so with caution, as she had once been the daughter of a landlord family. She feared being singled out for struggle sessions and was very careful, even in her own house, she dared not go out and even kept a watch on Old Lady Gao, fearing she might cause trouble.
This time, Old Lady Gao was sent back, and it was indeed Lin Xuebi’s scheme. She put an incense stick at Old Lady Gao’s door when The Wangs siblings came over.
Lin Xuebi gambled because she couldn’t stand living with Old Lady Gao anymore and wanted to send her back. In fact, before moving to the city, Lin Xuebi had already wanted to get rid of Granny Lin. Bearing it for so many years had not been easy.
Now Gao Guihua was unhappy. Although she also felt that Wang Xueyong looked down on Liu Haihua, she still disliked Liu Haihua’s visits, saying, "Don’t let Liu Haihua come over anymore."
When she first married into the family, Gao Guihua was a shy young bride, but now that she was pregnant, she stood taller. As long as she gave birth to a son, she would have a secure and carefree life in The Wangs.
Wang Xueyong nodded, not saying much. Original content can be found at novᴇlfire.net
There was quite a competition for the position of production team secretary. Apart from Wang Xueyong, one of the competitors was Mr. Cheng. It baffled everyone that he volunteered to be the secretary of Guangming Production Team, which is why Wang Xueyong ended up just missing out on Guangming Production Team.
In the end, Wang Xueyong was appointed to Red Star Production Team, which immediately left him feeling dejected.
The news was considered good by both Li Zhenchuan and Gao Guoqiang. Although Gao Guoqiang was surprised by Mr. Cheng’s voluntary move, he welcomed it warmly as they had interacted before and understood each other to some extent. Mr. Cheng had once voluntarily jumped into the river to save someone, which spoke volumes of his character.
Thus, fate pushed Wang Xueyong to Red Star Production Team once more. Mr. Wang didn’t think much of it; as long as his son worked hard and improved the production power of the production team, that would be a great achievement, even if he couldn’t join Guangming Production Team.
At Guangming Production Team, Li Zhenchuan had just returned from the county town, and Ning Hui eagerly inquired about his situation. Li Zhenchuan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, he has nothing to do with it."
"Then who’s the new secretary?" Ning Hui asked curiously, "What about Wang Xueyong?"
"Cheng Youwei, the Mr. Cheng who visited the production team before. As for Wang Xueyong, he’s off to Red Star Production Team."
Upon hearing Li Zhenchuan’s words, Ning Hui said, "Then why is he becoming a secretary in the production team? That’s a demotion."
"He volunteered for it—who knows why."
Ning Hui immediately walked outside, and Li Zhenchuan asked, "Where are you going?"
"I’m going to good news with Xia Xiao," Ning Hui said.
Li Zhenchuan chuckled, "Gao Guoqiang has already gone home, Xia Xiao must know, do you need to tell her?"
"It’s different," Ning Hui said, and left.
However, Gao Guoqiang did not go home straight away. Instead, he went to the team headquarters, so when Ning Hui came over and told Xia Xiao, it made Xia Xiao very happy.
"So you mean, that Wang Xueyong went to Red Star Production Team?" Xia Xiao asked.
Ning Hui nodded, and Xia Xiao immediately rejoiced. She tossed Wang Xueyong’s matters to the back of her mind; as long as he didn’t come to Guangming Production Team, she wouldn’t bother with him anymore.
But turning to Ning Hui, she said, "So, when are you and Secretary Li leaving?"
"Why, you can’t wait for me to leave?" Ning Hui asked.
Xia Xiao scolded with a glance, "I’m just reluctant to part with you. My child hasn’t even been born, and you, as his godmother, are leaving."
"You say that, and now I really can’t bear to leave. How about I stay until you give birth? It’s only a matter of months anyway," Ning Hui said.
Xia Xiao shook her head, "No, better stick with Secretary Li, lest he take out his frustrations on my child later."
"He wouldn’t dare; this is my godson," Ning Hui said, holding her chin up proudly.
Xia Xiao said, "Don’t jinx it by calling it a son all the time; it’s not certain yet."
"My intuition says so, and now my intuition is very accurate," Ning Hui said, "When I have a son later, and you have a daughter, but for now, you should have a son first."
Xia Xiao was speechless and told Ning Hui, "When my mom comes back, let her take a look at you."
Ning Hui nodded. Although her body was already recovering well, much better than in her dreams, she had not yet conceived, and there was still some anxiety in her heart.
Before long, Zheng Xianghong returned, and Ning Hui, blushing, asked Zheng Xianghong to help her check. Xia Xiao stood up, poured two cups of water, adding a bit of spring water to each, and brought them to Zheng Xianghong and Ning Hui.
"Your body has been well nurtured, but you still need to pay close attention. Drink the medicine for another half month. It doesn’t harm your body and is beneficial," Zheng Xianghong concluded.
At this, Ning Hui was very happy and nodded.
Zheng Xianghong added, "As for having children, just relax. Thinking too much and being stressed won’t bring them faster. If you don’t think about it, they will come naturally."
"Thank you so much, auntie," Ning Hui said with a face full of gratitude, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
After Ning Hui left, Xia Xiao discussed with Zheng Xianghong the matter of Wang Xueyong going to Red Star Production Team and Mr. Cheng becoming the new secretary at Guangming Production Team.
Zheng Xianghong’s face showed a profound smile, "That’s a relief. Now I feel at ease."
She then told Xia Xiao, "He should be a good young man, looks quite decent, but he’s just not pleasant."
Xia Xiao just smiled and didn’t say anything. She couldn’t quite explain it, but she had a strong aversion to Wang Xueyong.
Two days later, Mr. Cheng came over, and it was time for Secretary Li and Ning Hui to leave.
