After ten grueling years struggling to survive in the apocalypse, Ye Qing wakes up in the body of a sickly young woman in the 1970s.
For Ye Qing, this peaceful era feels like paradise compare...
Chapter 126 Chapter 126
Ye Qing really didn't expect that Wu Yongbing turned out to be a blessing in disguise after Wu Yueying's disturbance. Not only did his prestige in the village get restored, but also with Lai Guochang's advice, his faith in Taoism became more solid. From then on, he was ready to deal with any challenges and never had any self-doubt on the road of cooperating with her and complementing each other.
After being released from the commune, the first thing Wu Yongbing did when he returned to the village was to apologize to Ye Qing.
After all, Ye Qing is the director of Kaoshantun Health Station. The notice posted this morning was posted without the director's consent, which is indeed an act of exceeding authority and shows that he has completely ignored Ye Qing.
Even if Wu Yongbing didn't post the notice, it was still related to him. It would be unreasonable for him not to explain it clearly to Ye Qing.
Moreover, on the way back, the old branch secretary told him that if Ye Qing had not strongly demanded to protect him at the meeting, he would have definitely been brought down by those restless cadres in the village.
Knowing that someone wanted to get promoted, Wu Yongbing did not get angry or hold a grudge. Instead, he expressed his understanding. After all, people tend to go to higher places and water flows to lower places. It is human nature for a cadre of the production team to want to climb up and become the top leader.
He is not young anymore. When he is no longer able to do his job in a few years, he will have to abdicate sooner or later and let younger and more capable people take over.
Wu Yongbing is not obsessed with power, but now is the critical period of Kaoshantun's development. Ye Qing's expansion has just begun and he is still needed to continue to support the progress. He cannot retreat. He must steer the big ship of Kaoshantun and work hard to steer this small boat that has just set sail forward at full speed. He cannot allow it to turn or even lose direction.
Wu Yongbing was happy and proud that Ye Qing was willing to come forward to protect him. This showed that Ye Qing was satisfied with his attitude and approach over the past six months. This gave Wu Yongbing more confidence, and he was more sincere when he apologized to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing really didn't take the little incident in the morning to heart. He tore up the notice, and Wu Yongbing announced to the public that it was posted by mistake, thus saving everyone's dignity. Originally, this matter was an unprovoked disaster for Wu Yongbing, and people had gone to the commune to receive the investigation. Now that they have returned, the matter is over.
So Ye Qing waved his hand and directly interrupted Wu Yongbing's apology, and instead reminded the uncle:
"Have you returned home? If not, you should go back and check on her. Aunt Wu suddenly became ill this afternoon and passed out at home. No one was at home at the time. Fortunately, Comrade Xia Hangyi saw her. I happened to be not far from your home at the time, so I performed CPR on her in time. Otherwise, she would have been in danger."
Wu Yongbing really didn't know about this, and his heart immediately skipped a beat. He raised his head and looked at Ye Qing in surprise.
"Auntie has coronary heart disease. Normally, because there are no obvious symptoms, your family did not pay much attention to it before, and did not take long-term medication to control and regulate it. But today, you and Wu Yueying were both arrested, and she was shocked too much all of a sudden. Her heart could not bear it and she became ill."
Now Wu Yongbing could no longer sit still with Ye Qing, so he immediately rushed home to take care of his old wife, and no longer cared about anything else for the time being.
Ye Qing was not so tactless as to ask about Wu Yueying at this time. Anyway, she had already been taken away by the police station. Her own father reported her and even stole the official seal, which was such a heinous act. Even if she was not sentenced to jail, she would be detained for at least ten days or half a month.
At this time, her role as the director of the Kaoshan Village Health Station was reflected. She didn't even have to go out to inquire. Every day, the aunts and uncles and patients in the village would come to the station to chat and tell her the gossip they had heard.
For example, Wu Yueying refused to admit to stealing the official seal, insisting that the notice was signed and stamped by Wu Yongbing himself and posted on the health station;
For example, the Wu family was in turmoil. Wu's mother was determined not to go to the police station to testify for her husband. The two daughters-in-law wanted to divide the family and said that if Wu's mother did not go to testify, they would refuse to support her in her old age and let her live with Wu Yueying in the future.
For another example, Wu's mother has not confessed anything, but someone in the village took the initiative to go to the police station to serve as a witness. That person said that he had been playing cards at a friend's house all night that day and did not sneak back home until around four in the morning. Unexpectedly, he saw Wu Yueying sneaking to the end of the village with a piece of paper.
Now that someone has testified, no matter how hard Wu Yueying tries to defend herself, it will be useless. Even if Wu's mother does not come forward, Wu Yueying can still be convicted.
In short, this farce was one after another. During this period, Xia Hangyi even ran to the Wu family to plead with his father-in-law, wanting Wu Yongbing to write a letter of apology, forgiving Wu Yueying's mistake this time because she was pregnant.
Unfortunately, this time Wu Yongbing was too hard-hearted to be moved even when his son-in-law came to plead for him. He even asked his two sons to take action and directly drove Xia Hangyi out of the village.
Afterwards, the commune probably didn't want the case to drag on any longer, so they kept urging and pressuring the police station, so the punishment came out within two days.
Wu Yueying was sentenced to one month's criminal detention and fined fifty yuan. She was then completely put on the blacklist of Kaoshantun and was not allowed to enter Kaoshantun unless under special circumstances. This brought the case to an end.
Wu Yueying was still dissatisfied with the punishment and she started throwing tantrums on the spot. She also tried to beat the police officers who detained her and refused to be detained.
When she was having a secret relationship with Jian Ming a few months ago, she accidentally got pregnant with a child. She asked Ye Qing to help her get an abortion.
She got pregnant again in such a short time, especially this time she was less than three months pregnant and the fetus was not yet stable. In addition, after being arrested and taken to the police station, she was interrogated endlessly every day, which made her extremely nervous, exhausted and poorly rested. Her physical condition was already very weak. Unexpectedly, while resisting arrest with her claws and teeth, she hit her stomach without paying attention and went into miscarriage on the spot.
The man was immediately sent to the town's health station, but the child died.
Seeing that Wu Yueying had a miscarriage, even if it was caused by her own dishonesty, the police station still had some sympathy for her. In the spirit of humanitarianism, the police station planned to let Wu Yueying recuperate in the health station for a week and then detain her after she recovered.
But they had no idea that even after all this, Wu Yueying still wouldn't stop. During the few days she was recuperating in the health station, she even tried to find an opportunity to escape by climbing through the window, but was caught red-handed by the police officer in charge of guarding her.
The police officer was so angry that he laughed. Seeing Wu Yueying looking so energetic, how could she look like someone who had suffered a miscarriage and was injured? He simply put away his undue sympathy and took her to the detention center that day.
I don't know if Xia Hangyi was tired of running around for Wu Yueying, but Ye Qing was really speechless after hearing it, and he admired Wu Yueying's ability to work hard from the bottom of his heart.
The Wu family must have heard about Wu Yueying's miscarriage. When Wu's mother heard the news, she was very anxious. She was still very sick, but she ignored the opposition of everyone in the Wu family and insisted on going to the town health station in person to take care of her daughter.
It's a pity that she was so caring towards her daughter, making chicken soup and stewing tonics, thinking only of nourishing her daughter's body. However, Wu Yueying didn't appreciate it at all. Before she even entered the ward, she was kicked out by Wu Yueying. Even the chicken soup and tonic that she had worked so hard to prepare were knocked to the ground by Wu Yueying, without even a glance at them.
Because of being reported by Wu Yongbing, Wu Yueying completely hated her natal family and was also angry with her mother.
She felt that if Wu's mother had not been unable to control her father and had not been unable to get her father to issue a letter of forgiveness, she would not have been detained for a month and the child would not have been aborted.
So when Wu's mother came to see her, she vented all her negative emotions towards her, using all kinds of vicious words to curse her, and the look she gave Wu's mother was full of hatred.
No matter how much Wu's mother loved her daughter, she was deeply hurt by her daughter's cold gaze that was like a sharp arrow. She slowly stepped back a few steps, covered her chest again, and sat on the ground for a long time without recovering.
She couldn't understand what she had done wrong. Everything she had done over the years was for her children, but her husband was disappointed and confused by her, her two sons and daughters-in-law resented her, and even her most beloved daughter hated her to this extent. It was as if she had been abandoned by her friends and relatives overnight, and no one was left to stand by her side.
Wu's mother felt disheartened for a moment. After returning to the Wu family, she agreed to the request of her two daughters-in-law to separate the family that night. She only said one thing: since the two daughters-in-law disliked her, she would not be annoying in front of them. After the separation, she would live alone, but her two sons had to give her 200 kilograms of food every year. As for Wu Yongbing, she had no right to control whoever he wanted to live with in the future and she was too lazy to care.
Wu Yongbing had never expected that his mother would propose such a plan to split the family. When a tree grows big, its branches split up, and when sons get married, there are many cases where the families in the village have separated. But when a family splits up, the old man and old lady also separate? How is this different from a divorce? If he tells others about it, won't the people in the village laugh to death?
Wu Yongbing was really angry about his mother's outrageous behavior.
This old woman is confused. She had previously plotted against him along with her daughter, but after he turned himself in and reported the crime, Wu Yueying was sent to jail. The old woman resented him for this and not only did she deliberately avoid testifying for him, she is now arguing with her children about dividing the family property, and even wants to separate and live on her own. This clearly shows that she wants to draw a clear line between herself and him.
Wu Yongbing had already been deeply hurt by his wife. Now instead of reflecting on her own problems, Wu's mother was looking for trouble. Wu Yongbing also lost his temper and decided to just give it a go. He would just obey Wu's mother's wishes and let her do whatever she wanted!
"Why don't we go to town again and complete the divorce procedures at the same time, so that we can split our family into three families. From now on, you can live your life and I can live mine. You can be partial to whoever you want, and no one can control you!"
