In this story, it is not a satisfying tale of a powerful female lead, nor is it a story of rebirth and revenge. It is simply a plain and ordinary story with some strange conflicts.
Chen Xihua...
After staying at home for two days, on the morning of October 5th, Chen Xihua and the other two prepared to set off for Yun City.
In the past two days, the Chen family has moved into their new house in the North District.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiuhua decided to take Ning Wenfeng back to the family quarters the next day, around noon, when there were fewer people around, to visit her grandparents at her uncle's house.
Perhaps it's because I'm getting older, or perhaps it's because too much has happened lately.
In Guangdong Province, Chen Jianhua and his wife were sentenced to prison, and their house in the northern new district of the county was confiscated. The Chen family has changed a lot.
My older cousin's family of three wasn't affected much; they just stayed home and lived their lives quietly.
Chen Penghua and Li Xiaoling simply didn't want to get involved in their grandparents' or parents' family matters.
But after their aunt came to their door once, they still agreed to give them alimony every month.
Mr. Chen and his family moved back to the residential area.
Every day, Grandma Chen has to take care of Grandpa Chen and also lend a hand to take care of Uncle Chen, who is lying down.
There was really no other way, so his great-grandson Chen Junxin was taken to kindergarten by his aunt on her way to work every day, otherwise they would be too busy to manage.
When Chen Xiuhua and Ning Wenfeng came to visit, Grandpa and Grandma Chen were neither as harsh as they usually were, nor did they show excessive enthusiasm; they were just polite on the surface.
Grandma Chen stared blankly at her fourth granddaughter and her boyfriend through her blurry, cloudy eyes, slightly lost in thought.
She had never really liked the five daughters in her second son's family.
Part of the reason was Li Yumei, the daughter-in-law who came from the countryside, and another reason was that she was indeed a sexist.
However, she didn't think she had done anything wrong. What girl doesn't go through this?
As the head of the household, a man is responsible for carrying on the family line. If a family doesn't have a male member to uphold the family's honor, others will bully the family to death.
However, times have changed. They are fortunate to live in a new era where women can hold up half the sky.
They were indeed fortunate. In the past, only daughters of landlords had the opportunity to study and learn to read.
In Grandma Chen's deeply ingrained mindset, all the education she received was ultimately for the purpose of marrying a good man, securing a foothold in her husband's family, and then becoming a good wife and mother. The outcome was always the same.
However, Grandma Chen did not spoil Chen Junxin as she had spoiled her two older grandsons without limits.
Sometimes, you still have to scold someone when you need to, and you still have to punish someone when you need to.
At the very least, we can't let him follow in his father's footsteps and make a mistake that lands him in jail.
With guests present, four-year-old Chen Junxin sat quietly on the sofa, without making a fuss.
Holding the toy car that Chen Xiuhua bought on the way, he was curious but also a little cautious, not daring to play with it too much or make any big movements.
He may have learned from his family that his parents had been arrested.
He was afraid; the little boy's eyes were timid, and he was more sensitive than before.
This unconsciously reminded Chen Xiuhua of her past self, when her grandmother always scolded her and her sisters as worthless burdens, and her parents only cared about Xiaobao.
But on the hot afternoon when Xiao Wu returned from Shanghe Village.
Xiao Wu says he wants to study, Xiao Wu says he wants to build a double bed, Xiao Wu's boldness when talking to his parents...
It remains vivid in her memory to this day, as if it were a ray of light that guided her when she was feeling inferior.
She was indeed lucky, and all her sisters were lucky!
As she left, she felt a pang of sympathy and went up to Chen Junxin, gently patting his head. "Junxin, study hard!"
"I will, Fourth Aunt!" Chen Junxin sensed her kindness and, though he didn't understand her words, he replied instinctively.
Somewhat unexpectedly, when she left, Grandma Chen gave Ning Wenfeng a ten-yuan red envelope.
Once outside, Ning Wenfeng grabbed Chen Xiuhua's hand tightly, "Xiuhua, are you alright!"
He was a little worried about her, as she had just experienced a period of low spirits.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little sorry for Junxin!"
Regardless of what happened between her second cousin and his wife, the child is innocent; she herself was once a child.
......
Meanwhile, on October 3rd, Chen Xihua visited Fanghua Garment Factory.
Although it was during the holiday, the factory paid workers on a piece-rate basis. Except for October 1st, when the entire factory was closed, many workers returned to work on the second day.
Factory director Zhang Anmin was extremely busy.
Gaoyang County has opened a new production line for the Lihua brand, which requires highly skilled sewing workers, but they are not yet fully staffed.
Wang Shuiqin, who had been promoted to workshop director, happened to be in the office looking for Zhang Anmin.
"Director Zhang, I have a raw material requirement to report to you!"
Wang Shuiqin's voice could be heard outside the corridor before she even arrived.
When she knocked and came in, she saw the factory director, Zhang Anmin, sitting next to her, while a young woman was sitting in the main seat of the office.
Wang Shuiqin stared intently, and was shocked. Wasn't this Chen Xihua from the Chen family next door?
What is her identity?
"Sister Shuiqin, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Chen Xihua joked.
When Director Zhang saw Wang Shuiqin standing there, stunned, he could only speak up to help her out: "Shuiqin, you're here. Have a seat."
Then he raised his hand and gestured towards Chen Xihua, introducing, "Chen Xihua, the president of our group company."
You should know her; both your families live in the textile factory's residential area.
Wang Shuiqin's eyes widened and her mouth gaped as she stared at Chen Xihua, who was smiling but saying nothing. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she instinctively greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, President!"
"Sister Shuiqin, you don't need to be so reserved!" Chen Xihua noticed her discomfort and stood up, preparing to leave. "Director Zhang, you go ahead with your work. I understand what you just said!"
"Okay, I'll see you off." Zhang Anmin saw Chen Xihua off first, then returned to his office!
"Director Zhang, is she... is she really our company's boss?" Wang Shuiqin wanted to confirm again.
Only then did she remember that Yunhua Group had been established in Yunshi, the provincial capital, some time ago.
Zhang Xiaolan, the former deputy factory director, was transferred to headquarters by the boss to serve as executive general manager.
I heard the president was a very young woman, but I never expected it to be Chen Xihua.
Yes, during that period, she went back to her hometown a few times.
I vaguely heard those aunties and grandmas saying something about how the Chen family's daughters were making a lot of money, and how they owned companies at such a young age!
It turns out it was true!
After getting off work in the evening, Wang Shuiqin made a special trip back to the family quarters, where her mother, Li Juan, nagged and pressured her as usual.
"Shuiqin, you're a workshop director now, you can't lose to the daughters of the Chen family next door."
You're twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Chen Chunhua is the same age as you, and she's been married for two years now and is pregnant.
The fourth son of the Chen family is currently dating the son of the Party Secretary.
With your current status, having a job and a house, you can definitely find a better in-law family than them!
Seeing her mother's jealous and resentful face, she even wanted her to get married quickly.
She thought that by doing this, the apartment she bought would be vacant so that her younger brother, Wang Xiaoqiang, could get married.
Suddenly, Wang Shuiqin wanted to give her another blow, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Mother, do you know? The Fanghua Garment Factory where I work is owned by the Chen family next door, Chen Xiaowu!"
