"I guess most people sympathize with Qingsong. They can't laugh at him for this! Qingsong has been the victim from beginning to end. It's the Jinhua Brigade's reputation that's truly ruined!"

Shi Meiling was right; the Jinhua Brigade has become famous now.

Everyone's heard about the adulterous couple who had twins without anyone knowing and then found a sucker to raise them.

When Wu Pandi got home, her mother gave her a severe beating.

"You idiot, how did you let An Qingsong hear that? He didn't know anything and nothing happened, but now look what you're going to do."

Let me tell you, I'm not going to raise your child. You'd better figure it out yourself!

"Either you marry Wang Jidong! Or, ha! I'll send you to the mountains to marry someone!"

Wu Pandi told her mother, feeling wronged.

"Now I have no choice but to marry Wang Jidong. Wang Jidong has to raise the child. An Qingsong's condition is that he should raise the child. I don't want to marry into the mountains!"

Li Erniu slapped Wu Pandi again.

"Do you think Wang Jidong will marry you just because you want to? You're always causing me trouble! Wang Jidong's mother is not someone to be trifled with; you'll regret it later!"

Wang Jidong's home.

When Wang Jidong's mother, Liu Cuihua, heard what he said, she slapped him across the face.

"Why are you so fixated on Wu Pandi, and why is it that you can't live without her? You even had two children with her, and now you have to support them?"

Wang Jidong told Liu Cuihua with a blank face.

"Mother, if I didn't raise them, An Qingsong would have crippled me! Then I would never have any more children, only these two girls! You would never have the chance to hold your grandson!"

Liu Cuihua sighed.

"Sigh, whatever! I don't care anymore, now you have no choice but to marry Wu Pandi!"

But let me tell you, I'm the one who calls the shots now that she's married into this family!

Besides giving birth to a son, she has to work for me, and she has to do all the housework! Otherwise, you might as well go live with Wu Pandi and become his son-in-law!

Wang Jidong agreed without any hesitation.

"Of course, you're the one in charge in our family, Mother. I have no objection to whatever you ask her to do! There's no way she'll ever marry into my family!"

Wang Jidong carefully glanced at Liu Cuihua's expression before stammering out his words.

"Mother, we can't mistreat these two children, otherwise An Qingsong will find out and cripple me again!"

Liu Cuihua angrily pointed at him.

“I’m your mother, and they are my granddaughters no matter what. How could I, as their grandmother, mistreat them?”

Wang Jidong quickly tried to appease him.

"No, no! You have the kindest heart!"

But what I was really thinking was, "Who knows? If I don't give you a heads-up beforehand, you might treat the girls badly because you don't like them."

Liu Cuihua's expression softened.

"Alright, I'll talk to Li Erniu about your situation in the next couple of days. You two should get married as soon as possible, otherwise the brigade leader might send you both to jail!"

Wang Jidong nodded.

Let's do it this way!

The Anyang brigade did a very good job in the double harvest this year. To reward everyone for their hard work, Anbaogen gave the production team a three-day holiday.

We had agreed to go out and have fun yesterday, so An Qingbai, Su Mengmeng, and Jiang Yanxia gathered at Zhuang Zhimeng's house this morning.

Zhuang Zhimeng finished preparing the dog's food before looking at them.

"Let's head to town now, ride our two bicycles to the supply and marketing cooperative first, buy some snacks, and we won't be too bored while boating!"

Jiang Yanxia was very happy.

"Let's go, let's set off now!"

An Qingbai and Su Mengmeng smiled and went to push their bicycles.

Bicycles all have seat cushions attached, and Zhuang Zhimeng specially added a seat cushion to her bicycle last night as well.

An Qingbai led Zhuang Zhimeng, and Su Mengmeng led Jiang Yanxia; the two bicycles rode side by side out of the village.

The weather was also very nice that day; it wasn't too sunny, and there was a slight breeze. It was a rare and pleasant day, perfect for sightseeing.

All four were in a good mood and chatted the whole way.

Zhuang Zhimeng sat in the back seat and felt the breeze, stretching out one hand to feel it.

"The weather is so nice! We made the right decision to come out today. We might not even have such good weather tomorrow!"

Jiang Yanxia looked at Zhuang Zhimeng's outstretched hand and reached out her hand as well.

"Haha, Zhimeng, I've caught you!"

Su Mengmeng was caught off guard and almost rode in a curve, then shook her head with a smile.

"Xiazi, what are you doing? We almost fell!"

Jiang Yanxia let go of Zhuang Zhimeng, stuck out her tongue, and then smiled mischievously at Su Mengmeng.

"Hehe, I just held Zhimeng's hand. Are you sure you can ride a bike? If not, I'll ride it!"

Su Mengmeng didn't believe she could give her a ride, so she actually stopped the bicycle.

"Then you come and guide me!"

Jiang Yanxia agreed immediately.

"Okay, come on then. As long as you dare to sit, I dare to take you!"

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and patted An Qingbai, who was riding a bicycle.

"Hehe, Qingbai, do you want me to give you a ride? Let you experience what it's like to sit in the back seat."

An Qingbai was itching to try it out, so he agreed.

"Okay, I'll also experience what it feels like when Zhizhi is with me!"

All four of them switched places.

Jiang Yanxia gave up after riding for only a short distance, mainly because it was too heavy and she couldn't ride it.

"Brother Meng, you should do it! This old bicycle is too much of a strain! Carrying you feels like carrying a mountain!"

Su Mengmeng laughed.

"Ha, shall I take you? You've been so sure of your promise to take me!"
