"Auntie, I went back to get something, and Sister Ya pulled me aside, saying she wanted you to go over there?" Ya, holding a package, went straight to Su Xia, who was sitting on the sofa.

Su Xia paused for a moment, her brows furrowing. "Did you say something?"

Ya shook her head, a little worried, and said, "Auntie, can you not go?"

Su Xia patted the girl, "Go find your sister Niu Niu, don't worry about things here!"

Ya was still worried, but she obediently took the things and turned back every step she took.

"Mom, what does Sister Ya want with you?" Da Bao asked.

Su Xia shook her head. "I don't know. Let's talk about it when your second uncles come back."

Da Bao nodded, thinking that he would tell his father directly when he returned.

Meanwhile, the locked-up girl, seeing that Su Xia hadn't appeared even after the girl had been gone for so long.

Suddenly, that dark side of me surfaced: "Pah...you're no good either, ignoring your own mother to lick someone else's ass..."

Bang bang....

The room was smashed up, and 꾉丫's expression at that moment was no different from that of a madwoman.

However, I still picked up something light to throw, afraid that the other party would hear me.

Chen Jianguo's side went smoothly, after all, his connections were there.

I went straight to the textile factory's residential building. There were many children playing downstairs, as well as elderly women.

Upon seeing Chen Jianguo, especially his Zhongshan suit, some people immediately gathered around.

"Comrades, who are you looking for?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo looked at the old man behind him, understood, and then took out a handful of candy from his pocket.

A large group of people immediately surrounded them, asking, "Comrade, what do you want to ask?"

"Oh, ma'am, isn't there a family with the surname Wei around here?"

"Oh...you mean the Guochang family? What happened to the family?"

"It's nothing, someone said you're having some difficulties, so I came to ask?" Chen Jianjun said with a smile, offering a flimsy excuse.

Chen Jianguo glanced at it, then pulled Chen Jiandang to the nearby textile factory.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Liu Tiezhu. Please tell Chen Jianguo he's looking for him!"

"Alright!"

After he left, Chen Jiandang said, "Brother, what if it really was about the house?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo glared at her and said, "Are you stupid? The house is yours, how can you really take it over?"

"Change all the locks later. Even if that girl comes back crying to you, don't give her the keys!"

Chen Jiandang gritted his teeth, feeling utterly defeated at the thought of that wretched girl.

Chen Jianguo sighed and said to the girl, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We've already done a good job raising them to adulthood!"

After a long while, Chen Jiandang nodded. Chen Jianguo looked into the factory and immediately went over when he saw a familiar face.

At noon, the brothers gathered at the state-run restaurant, as they couldn't go home and cook.

Scratching and scraping...

Slurp slurp...

Chen Jianjun ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, and only after he had eaten half a bowl did he have a chance to talk about the information he had found out.

"That crazy woman from the Wei family, who's also my future mother-in-law, is notoriously unreasonable in the family compound."

Chen Jianguo kicked him, really hitting a nerve. Chen Jianjun, in pain, looked at his second brother and rolled his eyes.

"Because of her, her in-laws rarely interact with them. The temporary worker was someone Wei Guochang asked the factory to get ten years ago. It's really a case of one person supporting the whole family; even food is a problem!"

"And then there's Wei Tianlai. They say his family has been looking for him ever since he was seventeen. Every time they see him, most of them run away. And the rest, once they know about his family situation, all of them run away!"

"Also, it's not 19, it's 20. This was written incorrectly because the household registration was done late at the time!"

Slurp slurp...

After Chen Jianjun finished speaking, he continued to eat noodles heartily, quickly finishing a large bowl.

Looking up, I saw that my eldest brother still had half left, while my second brother had only taken a few bites.

With a quick dart of his eyes, he directly brought up Chen Jiandang's nighttime story, "Hehe...I'll take care of it for my second brother, it wouldn't be good to waste it!"

Chen Jianguo wanted to play kicking, but then thought better of it.

"By the way, what did you guys find out, brother?"

"I just asked about the job, and it turns out I'm still an apprentice, having trained for a year, and this is the salary!"

Chen Jianguo didn't hide anything; there was one more thing he didn't mention: this Wei Tianlai was also causing trouble at the factory, chasing after this one and that one...

The female workers who could get into the textile factory weren't stupid, so naturally they didn't look down on women who weren't good-looking and were still apprentices.

Most importantly, there's the girl who works in the factory kitchen. Everyone knows she's always either fighting or stealing.

"Sigh... I wonder if marrying into that family is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Shut up, what are you saying?" Chen Jianguo scolded the old man.

Chen Jianjun rolled his eyes. "It's already like this, and we can't even say anything. I told my second brother before that she's not good at studying, she barely made it into high school, and she's lazy and doesn't like to work. She might as well marry into a family in the village!"

Chen Jianguo had a headache. His brother was adding fuel to the fire. Didn't he see that his second brother's face was getting darker and darker?

꺘그, on the way back, I didn't forget the things for the wedding: melons, flowers, cigarettes, and alcohol...

There was also meat; I bought five pounds of plump, white pork...

Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. His second son wasn't like this when Da Ya got married!

Not only were half of the goods sold in the factory, but they were also mostly defective products, and even that was only because of 눁丫's connections.

When Ya heard that her uncle was coming, she excitedly ran out, but when she saw Gege's unhappy expression...

Ya immediately guessed that something must have happened, and she cautiously moved closer to her father, asking in a low voice, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Her eyes were also fixed on her second uncle, and it was the first time she had ever seen him so angry.

Chen Jianjun pulled his daughter aside and briefly explained the situation regarding his daughter.

"Oh my god, is she crazy?" 눁Ya exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth.

She looked at her second uncle again, and seeing that he was out of breath, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Stop talking. Your second uncle is buying things, but he doesn't want anything fancy. Just give him whatever you think is good!"

Ya frowned, but still hurriedly bought some defective products; the melon blossoms were damp, and the candy was a little melted...

Finally, the red paper and fabric were unevenly dyed...

Ya stared blankly at her second uncle, not even glancing at him, and directly took out her money to pay the bill...

He looked to his father and uncle for help...

Well—neither of them had any ideas, so they left without saying a word and hurriedly departed.

눁Ya watched 꺘그's retreating figure until 그 disappeared, then hurriedly went inside...

"The manager is asking for a day off!"

"What's up?"

"Something came up at home!"

...

Su Xia took a nap before seeing Chen Jianguo return. "Why did it take you so long?"

"I bought some things on the way back, which delayed me!"

"When do you start work?"

"Tomorrow, what's wrong?" Chen Jianguo took off his coat and first glanced at the twins who were fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).

I couldn't resist and rubbed it a couple of times with my stubble.

Su Xia immediately pulled her aside, "What are you doing? What if you wake them up?"

"It's okay, I'm very light!"

Su Xia glared at him, then quickly pulled him outside and poured him a glass of water.

"What's going on?"

Chen Jianguo took a sip before saying, "It's just an ordinary family, nothing but difficulties!"

Su Xia....

"And then there's my future mother-in-law, who's notoriously fierce there, unreasonable and argumentative..."

"That's comparable to Xia Lai Di!"

"Xia Laidi has her second son looking after her, but she doesn't!"

"I don't think so. That guy surnamed Wei wouldn't just watch his wife make a scene. He must be doing it for his own good. This guy is no good; he's enjoying himself while his wife is causing trouble in front!" Su Xia didn't think that men couldn't control their wives.

Chen Jianguo gave Su Xia an admiring look, "My wife is really something!"

"roll...!"
