The two chatted in the park for another half an hour. Li Wenji was relieved to learn that she was doing well. He even offered, "Huaying, your uncle will find a way to get you a job and transfer you back to the city. Go back to Yang County and wait for news. I'll write to you once I've finalized the job."
"Uncle, thank you. I appreciate your kindness. I can handle the work easily. I won't be returning to the city for the time being. I have some things to deal with there."
Yun Huaying didn't want to cause him any trouble, so she smiled and told him, "I'm dating someone. My uncle and aunt were able to leave the farm thanks to help from his family, but his family circumstances are a bit special. His grandparents are in the production team I'm working on in the countryside. Before they finish their work and return, I want to stay there to accompany and take care of them. I also want to express my gratitude on behalf of the Yun family."
"So that's how it is."
Seeing that she had a plan, Li Wenji stopped interfering and said with emotion, "Huaying, you have grown up and become sensible and capable. Your grandparents and mother can rest in peace in the grave."
Yun Huaying thought about her deceased elders and relatives, and her heart ached. She changed the subject: "Uncle, I remember you seemed to be working in a scientific research unit. How did you get transferred to Qinggang?"
"Huaying, you haven't entered the workforce yet and haven't been exposed to many complex interpersonal relationships. You're probably not familiar with this area yet."
"Compared to other units, research institutes are simpler, but the internal relationships are also very complicated. My uncle isn't good at handling interpersonal relationships, nor does he want to spend time thinking about them. I'd rather spend my time in the lab working with materials and machines."
"I wanted to be neutral and not get involved in all this mess, but in this environment, choosing neutrality has only caused dissatisfaction among others."
"I'm not the kind of smooth-talking, worldly-wise person. I speak bluntly, and I might accidentally offend someone with my words. I'm often bullied and picked on, which makes me upset and unable to concentrate on my work."
"Later, a university classmate of mine came to Haicheng on a business trip. After learning about my situation, he recommended me to Qinggang. It's a military-industrial unit, where interpersonal relationships are simple and what matters is professional ability. I ultimately chose to transfer there myself."
"I've felt great working there for the past three years. I don't have to worry about all sorts of things, my colleagues are easy to get along with, and the salary and benefits are better than here."
"I like the working environment there and plan to bring Xiaozong with me. He has the same personality and hobbies as me. It just so happens that I got a promotion three months ago and got special treatment, so I planned to bring him along as an apprentice. Plus, I received Shutong's letter, so I rushed back."
Yun Huaying saw that when he talked about work, he became full of energy and the anger on his face disappeared. It was obvious that he really liked his current job at Qinggang.
Thinking that he had two sons, who were about the same age as Brother Jingmo, he asked, "Uncle, are Brother Xiaozong and Brother Xiaobo married?"
"Not yet."
Speaking of this, Li Wenji's face darkened even more. "Xiao Zong had a girlfriend before. They got along pretty well and were even discussing marriage. Both sides had met their parents."
"My parents really like that girl. She's a nurse who works at the People's Hospital. One time, a friend Fangting made outside got in a fight and got injured. She ran over to ask that girl for help, but the girl was about to undergo surgery and was too busy to handle it, so she asked a colleague to take care of her."
"Fangting came back and started making a scene, saying a lot of nasty things, saying the kid was deliberately being disrespectful to her. Xiaozong tried to communicate with her countless times, but she only got worse and even went to the hospital to cause trouble. In the end, they broke up."
Yun Huaying didn't know what to say. This Li Fangting was really spoiled and stupid. She didn't inherit the smart and down-to-earth genes of the Li family at all.
But since this was the Li family's business, she didn't say anything more and continued, "Is Brother Xiaobo dating? Where does he work now?"
"They haven't started dating yet. Xiaobo and Fangting have a bad relationship. They always argue when they meet, and he's the only one in the family who can control Fangting. He was a good student in school. After graduating from high school, he seized the opportunity to get a job at a bank. He has a good job there, and he's a very opinionated person. I'm quite confident in him."
Speaking of this, Li Wenji also invited her: "Huaying, it's a rare trip for you to Haicheng. My uncle is treating us tonight. Let's have dinner together at the state-owned restaurant."
"My family has been thinking about Shutong and her family for years, especially my parents. We have tried countless ways to send them letters and gifts, but in the end, nothing came of it."
"They left early today to meet old friends. They wanted to ask them to help transfer your uncle and his men back to Haicheng."
He had said this much. Yun Huaying knew that the Li family missed their uncle and aunt very much and probably wanted to meet her to ask about their situation in detail. She had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
The two talked for a while and discussed how to deal with Wang Juan and her daughter. Li Wenji hurried back to cooperate.
As soon as he arrived home, before he could even say a word, Wang Juan started cursing him, even chasing him with a feather duster, and hurling insults at him non-stop: "You bastard, Li Wenjie! I'm at home taking care of my parents-in-law and raising our children, and you're messing around outside and bringing back this shameless woman! Do you think I'm dead?"
"I was wondering why you asked about the jewelry as soon as you got back. So you were planning on giving it to your bitch lover. You bastard, I'm going to beat you to death..."
Li Wenji was hit several times and heard her words clearly. He snatched the feather duster away angrily, his face as black as ink: "Wang Juan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Dad, how could you do this? How could you mess around with such a bad woman outside?" Li Fangting was in the same team with her mother, and she started to blame him.
"Just shut up."
Li Wenji was annoyed at the sight of her, and angrily berated the brainless mother and daughter, "Do you know what nonsense you're talking about? You're putting a stigma on me for no reason. Don't you know the consequences of being a hooligan?"
The Li Xiaozong brothers are both at home today. Their father has finally come back, so they took leave to rest at home.
They had just preached to them, but Wang Juan and Li Fangting didn't listen at all. They even called them ungrateful people. The two brothers were so angry that they wanted to beat them up.
"There's shit in their heads." Li Xiaobo cursed angrily.
"Li Xiaobo, you bastard, you..."
Wang Juan cursed out of habit as soon as she opened her mouth. Li Wenji was so angry that he wanted to hit her, "Shut up."
Many people lived in the tube-shaped building, and the neighbors were familiar with Li Wenji's character and trusted his integrity. One of the elderly women told him, "Wenji, that troublemaker surnamed Cui across the street just now said you left with a woman. He even came over and exaggerated it, saying you found a young woman outside and didn't want Wang Juan anymore. Wang Juan listened to him, and that's why she started causing trouble at home."
