Synopsis: Wang Ying heard her sister Wang Hui clamoring to marry Du Jianguo, and she knew that Wang Hui had also been reborn.

In her previous life, Wang Ying married Du Jianguo. Their conditi...

On the day Wang Ying was promoted, Wang Hui returned the job to Du Wenxiu.

Wang Hui had had enough of working these days. Even though she and Du Jianguo commute every day, even though she got paid and had benefits, she didn't want to go back. It was too tiring. Not only was the work exhausting, but managing the interpersonal relationships in the class was even more exhausting! Wang Hui had given up on her previous ambition to replicate her sister's success in her previous life.

Wang Hui thought that when the foreign TV series aired again, she could use Du Jianguo to make her suggestion to the garment factory. Du Jianguo and she were one and the same. If she couldn't achieve merit herself, then asking Du Jianguo to do so would be just as effective. And if she offered Du Jianguo advice and helped him achieve merit, wouldn't he be completely obedient in the future?

Wang Hui felt like Du Jianguo hadn't been as nice to her lately. She wondered if it was because she was pregnant and couldn't have sex. She had a constant feeling that Du Jianguo was preoccupied. Sometimes, while they were talking, his attention would wander... She'd wait until she'd done something good for Du Jianguo. She'd see if he'd dare to treat her like this again!

Wang Hui didn't want to go back to work. Actually, Du Wenxiu didn't want to go back either. She'd just broken up with her boyfriend at the garment factory, and she felt awkward about going back. Neither sister-in-law nor her husband would go back to work, and they argued for days at home. Du Wenxiu claimed her leg hadn't healed yet, while Wang Hui claimed she was pregnant and overwhelmed, asking who would be responsible if the child died from exhaustion. In the end, Sun Qiaoling prioritized her future grandson and forced Du Wenxiu to go back to work.

Before Du Wenxiu left for work, Wang Hui, one hand on her waist and the other supporting her belly, which hadn't even shown its full potential, watched her leave with a look of triumph. Seeing her like this, Du Wenxiu glared at her fiercely. Wang Hui had now offended both her elder and younger sisters-in-law.

But Wang Hui didn't care. Both of her sisters-in-law were going to get married, and the baby in her belly could be the next generation of the Du family. She was a member of the Du family, and her two sisters-in-law would sooner or later become outsiders.

Sun Qiaoling also had to go to work. Before going to work, she reminded Wang Hui: "Huihui, the clothes in the wooden basin need to be washed today, and the house and outside need to be swept. Dinner must be cooked on time."

"Should I wash it?" Wang Hui felt overwhelmed when she saw the large basin of clothes in the yard.

Sun Qiaoling's face turned cold: "If you don't wash it, who will? You don't even go to work now, and you don't even want to wash clothes? How can someone have such a spoiled wife?"

"I understand..." Wang Hui was unhappy, but she had to listen to her mother-in-law.

Sun Qiaoling was also unhappy. If she didn't value her grandson, she would have criticized Wang Hui. She was furious. Li Fengju came over every few days after work, as if she was afraid that the Du family was mistreating Wang Hui, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She also repeatedly said that Wang Hui was young and would suffer a great loss when giving birth. When they had their first child, she was about the same age as Wang Hui. But their daughter was so spoiled!

Li Fengju was really worried about Wang Hui. She felt like she was being fried in oil when she couldn't see her for two days. She had to see that she was fine and the fetus was fine before she could feel at ease.

After work that day, Li Fengju was about to go to Du's house again. When she was getting her bicycle from the garage, she was stopped by an acquaintance.

"Fengju!"

"Liyun."

"Fengju, you two old couple will have a happy life in the future! It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. I don't know how you educate your children. You educate them so well! The ones in my family are really not as good as yours!" Liyun sighed.

Li Fengju didn't know what Liyun was talking about, but her intuition told her that Liyun was talking about Yingzi.

"No, no..." Li Fengju said politely.

"Tsk, don't be so modest. How old is your Yingzi this year? How long has she been in the factory? And you are already the deputy director of the workshop!" Liyun said.

Li Fengju hadn't even heard of this. She was stunned. Yingzi had already become deputy director? She and Lao Wang had been working for half their lives and had never achieved a position. Where did their daughter get such talent?

"It's also luck." said Li Fengju.

"Tsk, I don't like to hear that. Excellent children should be praised more. Yingzi has even sold her products to Nanchong! She's really talented! And that shaqi ma, we've been eating it all the time, and everyone loves it!"

Li Fengju didn't know that Wang Ying sold the goods to Nanchong, so she could only laugh it off with Liyun and pass it over.

After Liyun left, Li Fengju pushed the bicycle out of the factory. She seemed to have forgotten to ride the bicycle, so she pushed the bicycle for a long time.

Li Fengju arrived at the Du family's house and Du Jianguo's grandmother opened the door for her. Mrs. Du saw Li Fengju, greeted her, and went back to her room.

Li Fengju heard someone cooking in the kitchen and thought it was Sun Qiaoling. She wanted to go and say hello, but when she walked to the door, she saw it was Wang Hui.

"Huihui?" Li Fengju called out.

"Mom, you're here!" Wang Hui certainly hopes that her mother will come, bring her food and daily necessities, and support her.

"Why are you cooking?" Li Fengju said.

"I handed the shift back to my elder sister-in-law, and my mother-in-law asked me to cook," said Wang Hui.

"Are you really not going to work anymore?" Li Fengju felt a little disappointed. Wang Hui had said before that she would find a way to stay at the factory, and now she's quitting. A few days ago, Wang Hui told her she didn't want to go to work anymore, and she had urged her to hold on. She hadn't expected that after just two days and three days, she would actually quit.

"Well, I'm too tired. I can't handle it. The noise is giving me a headache and tinnitus." Wang Hui said coquettishly, "Mom, did you bring me any delicious food today?"

When Li Fengju came today, she was thinking about Wang Ying and came without bringing anything. She said, "I didn't bring anything today, so I came to see you."

Wang Hui was a little unhappy, thinking she would get some special treatment. But her unhappiness was written all over her face, and Li Fengju couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"If I don't bring any food, you won't welcome me?" Li Fengju said.

"Oh, no, I just asked casually!" Wang Hui started to act coquettishly again.

Li Fengju said, "I wanted to buy you two pounds of shaqi ma, but I ran into someone I knew and we exchanged a few words, so I forgot about it. I'll buy it for you next time."

"Hehe, mom is always the best to me." Wang Hui said.

"Then you won't go to work? You don't plan to work in the future?" Li Fengju said again.

"Anyway, I won't go for the time being. Let's talk about it later. I have a child now and I need someone to stay at home," said Wang Hui.

Li Fengju sighed: "It's better to have a job of your own. Your eldest sister has become the deputy director."

"Big sister is deputy director?" Wang Hui was shocked, her eyes widening. How long had her big sister been working there? In her previous life, she had become a leader at the garment factory, but that was almost ten years later! Now, she had only been there for a few months, and she was already deputy director? Wang Hui once again suspected that her big sister had also been reborn, otherwise where would she get her skills from?

"Yeah." Li Fengju looked at Wang Hui with a veiled expression. She still felt that Wang Ying's position as deputy workshop director was partly due to her father-in-law, Director Zhao. If Wang Hui could marry into the Zhao family, now...

"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?" Wang Hui said anxiously, "You think I'm not as promising as my eldest sister? If you think my eldest sister is good, then go find her and let her support you in the future. I don't even have a job anyway!"

As soon as Sun Qiaoling entered the yard, she heard Wang Hui and Li Fengju arguing. She couldn't help but laugh. What a good argument! But after hearing what they were arguing about, Sun Qiaoling couldn't laugh anymore.

"I just told you your elder sister is the deputy director. Why are you so excited?" Li Fengju was upset when she saw Wang Hui arguing with her. But she remembered that Wang Hui was pregnant, so she said, "Take care of the baby in your belly and don't get angry easily."

Wang Hui's eldest sister has become the deputy director? Wow, she must be really capable... For the first time, this thought occurred to Sun Qiaoling's mind: if Jianguo had married Wang Ying, he would definitely be living a better life than now!

In the kitchen, Wang Hui was still angry. She was angry that the gap between her and her eldest sister was growing larger and larger. She was also worried that the Du family would think her eldest sister was better and regret marrying her. Just as she was thinking about this, Wang Hui suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall.

"Huihui!" Li Fengju was frightened and hurried forward to support her.

Sun Qiaoling, who had been eavesdropping outside, also rushed in: "What happened to Huihui?"

Wang Hui covered her head: "I, I feel a little dizzy..."

"Hurry, go back to your room and lie down." Li Fengju said.

Wang Hui held her mother-in-law in one hand and her mother in the other, and both of them helped her back to the room.

Li Fengju felt upset and wished she would not have told Huihui about Yingzi.

Wang Hui was helped to lie down on the bed, and Li Fengju took off her shoes and trousers.

"How do you feel? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Li Fengju's heart was in her throat.

"It feels uncomfortable..." Wang Hui's face turned pale for a moment.

Du Wenli came back and said she was hungry as soon as she got home. Sun Qiaoling had to go cook dinner first and let Li Fengju stay with Wang Hui.

Wang Hui reached out from under the quilt, held Li Fengju's hand, and softly called her, "Mom."

Li Fengju couldn't bear this and was almost in tears. "Mom is here, Mom is here, you should rest well and don't think about anything. If you don't want to go to class, don't go. Mom and Dad are here for you."

Wang Hui finally felt satisfied after hearing this. She'd actually fainted a little earlier, but seeing how nervous her mother and mother-in-law were, she'd just acted it out. Apparently, it had paid off...

Wang Hui used all her cleverness on her own family.

Wang Ying's thoughts were all focused on Director Xiang...

For several days, the R&D team couldn't come up with a better peach cake recipe than the original. Feeling somewhat discouraged, the team members turned to Wang Ying for help. Wang Ying looked at the data comparison reports submitted by the team members and the numbers behind the materials and decided it was time to let Director Xiang do something!

"Director, can you solve word problems?" Wang Ying asked Xiang Huaimin who was working hard on calculations.

"What are those, word problems? The kind for elementary school math?" After a few days of classes, Xiang Huaimin felt that the food at the non-staple food factory was good, he didn't have to do any work, and Wang Ying didn't bother him. He was quite satisfied with the place and no longer felt that Wang Ying was a jerk.

Wang Ying placed all the formulas he had tested, including the one currently in use, the one he got from Lu Zhongming, and the ones he had tried in the past few days, in front of Xiang Huaimin.

"Director, can you calculate the optimal proportion of these ingredients based on these test data and results?" Wang Ying said.

Xiang Huaimin pushed the reports aside without a second thought, saying, "This isn't a math problem."

"Look, these are all numbers! Peach cakes are also made up of numbers. We haven't found the most precise numbers, so we can't make them perfect." Wang Ying pointed to the numbers on the recipe and said, "Perhaps there are some biological, physical, or chemical issues. In short, this is a complex scientific problem! It should be solved by a comprehensive and high-end talent like you!"

Xiang Huaimin looked at Wang Ying, then at the data on the paper.

"What comprehensive high-end talents..." Xiang Huaimin muttered softly.

Wang Ying continued, "Director, you solve difficult mathematical problems that have not yet been solved internationally, but you should also solve the mathematical problems around you."

Xiang Huaimin glanced at Wang Ying again and said, "There are too many uncertainties and variables here."

"Anyway, just use your mathematical skills to calculate it for us!" Wang Ying insisted that the director come up with a scientific formula today!

Xiang Huaimin felt that this kind of thing was simply impossible to calculate. If the product he made according to his recipe turned out to be a mess, wouldn't that be a waste of time and materials, and also a disgrace to his reputation as a comprehensive and high-end talent?

"Director, mathematics should also serve the people!" said Wang Ying.

Xiang Huaimin rolled his eyes at her. "I understand. Just leave it there. I'll give it a try. I can't guarantee to give you what you call a perfect formula. You know, word problems are always solved under ideal conditions, but this one isn't."

"Just calculate!" said Wang Ying.

Xiang Huaimin was so pestered by Wang Ying that he had no choice but to start calculating... He calculated for three days plus one day of vacation, and used all his life's knowledge to actually come up with a formula.
