Chapter 482: No Regrets in Life (Finale)
Auntie Li was speechless. She had never dreamed that Xia Liang was actually Meng's child. The two were taken away by mistake.
But what she didn't expect was that the people in the Meng family actually didn't recognize Xia Liang.
Besides being ridiculous, she felt even more distressed for Xia Liang.
"It's okay, Mom, just let her watch if she wants."
"Liangliang, are you in a bad mood today?"
Aunt Li still noticed that Xia Liang was in a low mood.
"Is he a classmate from school?"
Xia Liang sighed: "I see Ms. Feng again!"
When she heard it was this person, Auntie Li was confused: "What does she want you to do?"
"Meng Xiaoxiao took away all the valuables in their house and disappeared. She was feeling lost so she came to find me. From what she said, she wanted to take me back!"
"Haha, how can she be so arrogant? Who does she think she is? She used to treat Meng Xiaoxiao like a treasure. Now that Meng Xiaoxiao is gone, she thinks of you again?"
"I really don't know who gave her that face! Liangliang, what do you think?"
Aunt Li really felt sorry for Xia Liang, but as an outsider she couldn't explain this clearly.
"It's up to her! I don't intend to acknowledge that relative anyway."
"Liangliang, you..." Grandma Meng was standing at the door and just happened to hear these words. Her face turned paler.
Xia Liang glanced at her and said, "Grandma Meng, I don't think you need a relative like me, and I don't need you either!"
Grandma Meng sighed heavily: "Grandma knows that what they did was wrong, but after all, they are..."
"Have they ever done anything for me in the past? Have they ever supported me?"
"What did they do to me when they found out I was their daughter?"
"So I'm sorry, I'm really..."
Looking at the old lady's pale face, Xia Liang couldn't bear it after all: "Grandma Meng, we are not far away. If you miss your child, you can still come and see it!"
When Ning Zhiyuan came back, Xia Liang also told him what happened today.
Everyone in the Ning family supported Xia Liang's approach.
…
Ten months later, all the educated youth in Yangliu Village were able to return to the city.
After the second college entrance examination.
Before everyone left, Aunt Li came back.
Everyone in the village gathered around curiously. After not seeing her for nearly a year, Aunt Li looked much more beautiful than when she left.
"I came back today because I have something I want to tell you all."
Seeing Aunt Li coming back, the educated youth also gathered together to see the excitement.
Just now they were proudly saying that they would be able to return to the city soon, and the people in the village could only work in the fields.
Aunt Li glanced at them with a half-smile, and they all lowered their heads guiltily.
"As everyone knows, I have been helping Liangliang look after her children in Beijing for the past year. Liangliang gave birth to three children, two sons and a daughter. The three children are all grown up now and do not need constant care. During this year, Liangliang and Caiyun opened a clothing factory in Beijing."
"In fact, there are many idle people in the capital. If we hire someone from there, we don't even have to worry about accommodation. However, Liangliang is grateful for the kindness of the villagers in the past, so he asked me to come back and ask if there are any people who are willing to make clothes with me?"
"The salary there is quite high. At the beginning, you must be an apprentice, and the monthly salary is 16 yuan. Usually, you can be converted to a regular employee within a month, and the official salary is not less than 30 yuan. We are paid by piecework. The more you work, the more you earn. Can the highest salary in the factory be 50 or 60 yuan?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the salary was so high.
"Of course, making clothes is a delicate job after all, so for now, we are only considering women. If anyone wants to go, you can sign up with me when you have considered it!"
Yang Hongmei, Li Xue and others were all stunned.
They didn't expect Xia Liang to be so powerful now, to have opened a factory, and to need so many people.
You know, they had a phone call with their families the day before yesterday. Their family said that although they had been allowed to return to the city, they still had to find their own work.
After all, returning to the city this time was a requirement, but no one helped me find a job.
You still have to solve it yourself when you get back.
When their families found out they were back in the city, not only were they unhappy, many even asked them to stay in the village for a while longer.
They were almost mad to death at that time.
What kind of life was it like to live in the village? Who wanted to stay in the village forever? Why would it be better to go back to the city? But their families were worried that they would have one more mouth to feed if they went back, so they asked them to wait before going back to the city. The educated youths were very upset.
Now, when they suddenly heard that Xia Liang had opened a factory in Beijing and was even recruiting people, their eyes lit up.
Song Jia reacted the fastest and was the first to come forward: "Auntie Li, do you think I can do this? I used to work very fast."
"Auntie Li, there's me! You know I always work very hard."
Yang Hongmei also spoke loudly. Li Xue hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward to recommend herself.
However, Aunt Li just glanced at them indifferently and did not respond.
Zhou Hao stood there in a daze. He had never thought that while he was still worrying about how to eat after returning to the city, Xia Liang actually opened a place.
It really is...that should have been my daughter-in-law.
If only he hadn't been involved with Xia Jing back then!
"Zhou Hao, I really want to thank you!"
"Fortunately, Liangliang ran fast, otherwise..."
Aunt Li sneered, and Zhou Hao felt a pain in his chest and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The person fainted.
…
"You can't do this to me. I'm your biological daughter!"
Meng Xiaoxiao took away a lot of money, and she thought her father and brother would take her to a small place to live, and at least they would live a carefree life for a long time with this money. But she didn't expect that these two cruel people actually sold her to a remote mountain village.
Her heart was shattered and she wanted to fight, but she was no match for those big and strong men.
"I, I can also make money for you!"
Meng Xiaoxiao was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she felt like she was almost out of breath again.
Father Xia snorted coldly: "Do you think that after you robbed the Meng family of their money, they will still care about you?"
Meng Xiaoxiao's face turned pale: "But that's not what you told me at the time!"
What he said clearly was that he and Mengjia had been friends for so many years, and even if he made a small mistake, Mengjia's parents would forgive him.
But who could have imagined that he would be caught and sold by these people just after he escaped.
"You know I have a heart disease. If you sell me to that place, I will die!"
Meng Xiaoxiao covered her chest, but Father Xia sneered: "Heart disease? That's something only rich people have? If you want to die, die now if you have the guts!"
When Meng Xiaoxiao woke up again, she was in a woodshed.
There were bitter grass all around, and the conditions looked even harsher than those in Yangliu Village.
At this moment, the door opened and a man in his forties, small in stature, with a dark face, walked in with a smile.
"My dear wife, be good and listen to me. I will carry you to the room now!"
"I'm not your wife, I'm the daughter of the Meng family!" Meng Xiaoxiao glared and waved her hands to drive the man away.
The man sneered: "You are the woman I bought for ten dollars! From now on, stay at home and give me a child! Otherwise, I will break your legs!"
Ten dollars? She knew that Xia's father was a worthless person, but she didn't expect that she would only sell herself for ten dollars!
Meng Xiaoxiao wanted to struggle, but the man walked up to her and slapped her in the face several times.
He was hit so hard that he felt dizzy. Before he could even react, his clothes were torn off.
"No, don't!"
It's just that her struggle is like an itch to men.
Soon, the heart-wrenching cries of a woman and the excited curses of a man could be heard from the woodshed: "Behave yourself! Or I'll sell you to an old bachelor!"
It was unknown how much time had passed before Meng Xiaoxiao came to her senses. She felt as if her body was torn apart and was aching and weak all over. She felt her heart begin to hurt again.
"Mom, my heart hurts so much!"
Unfortunately, at this time, her mother never came.
…
Ping An Garment Factory opened successfully. Just after the land contract responsibility system was implemented in rural areas, many people in the city began to set up stalls to do business.
The garment factory already employs hundreds of people.
Several young girls rushed to the outside of the clothing factory, shouting that they wanted to see Xia Liang.
The old man at the gate saw the people and showed a trace of displeasure on his face: "Yang Hongmei, Li Xue, Song Jia, what are you doing here?"
The three of them then discovered that this man was actually the village chief.
They didn't expect that Xia Liang actually brought the village chief over as well.
"Village Chief, we used to be friends with Liangliang. Didn't we hear that this clothing factory is hiring? So we wanted to come and give it a try!"
"Besides, it doesn't matter who you hire. We know each other well, so Liangliang can be assured of hiring us, right?"
Hearing this, the village chief sneered and said, "You should go find work somewhere else. Don't worry, this factory won't hire anyone but you!"
Several people's faces changed, and they wanted to continue to pester. The village chief shouted: "If you three don't leave, I will call for help!"
At this moment, a woman came in riding a shiny curved-handle ladies' bicycle.
"Liangliang, you're here?"
The village chief didn't expect Xia Liang to come suddenly at this time.
When Yang Hongmei and the others saw Xia Liang, they hurried over and stood in front of her: "Liangliang, we were very familiar with each other in the past. I heard that you were recruiting people here. You also know that I was the most down-to-earth worker in the past. Can I find a job here?"
"Liangliang, and me!"
"Liangliang, there's me too!"
Li Xue and Song Jia also hurried over. Seeing them covered in dust and looking haggard, Xia Liang suddenly felt a little emotional.
She didn't expect to see the three of them again, but by this time, they were completely different from each other.
She smiled politely and said, "Sorry, the factory is not hiring right now! But there are a lot of small vendors outside right now, you can go ask them!"
"Liangliang, we lived together for several years before."
Yang Hongmei was still unwilling to give up, but Xia Liang smiled and said, "I remember, but have you ever helped me once before?"
Xia Liang pushed the cart inside. She had been tormented all night last night and her waist still hurt.
Back in the office, Xia Liang held his waist and rubbed it for a long time.
The three little ones are already one year old. Apart from attending classes every day, she comes to the factory for a walk.
By the evening, Ning Zhiyuan still did not spare her.
She still remembered that last night, he trapped her in bed, biting her earlobe maliciously with his lips: "Wife, didn't you say you wanted me to come back? Can I come back tonight?"
Xia Liang wanted to scold him for being shameless. She forced herself on him the first time, but this man asked her to pay him back every night.
When he woke up the next day, he had forgotten it again.
This happened over and over again, and Xia Liang didn't know how many times it had happened.
Suddenly I realized that it was not a good thing for the man to be transferred to the capital and stay by my side.
Xia Liang was in pain and happy every day. The three little guys were already able to run on the ground, and Grandpa Ning happily took them for a stroll in the yard. Grandpa Meng was also very anxious when he saw this, and he followed behind them secretly, fearing that the three little guys would fall.
Mr. Ning just looked at him arrogantly and did not stop him.
Later on, they were the only ones watching over the kids most of the time. Fortunately, the three little ones were very obedient and not naughty at ordinary times.
When Xia Liang came back in the evening, the three little ones ran over, hugged Xia Liang's legs, and called "Mommy, Mommy".
Xia Liang picked them up with a smile, but unfortunately she had to pick them up in each hand, so there was still one left.
The remaining one climbed up her legs.
At this time, one of the adults in the family would come over and take the little ones over, and the three little ones would all giggle.
"Come on, come and sit down. Grandma made steamed sea bass for you today!"
Sea bass is hard to buy at this time, but it is still good for children to eat because it does not have bones.
Xia Liang came to the table carrying the two. Normally, he liked to eat fish, but today, when he smelled the fish, his stomach felt uncomfortable and he almost couldn't hold it back.
When Ning Zhiyuan came back, he saw his wife and children sitting at the table. He hurried over and took one of them from Xia Liang's arms.
Xia Liang glared at him, stuffed the other one into his arms, and hurried to the bathroom.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
It was a long time before Xia Liang came out of the bathroom.
Grandma Meng and Su Yaxian also looked at her with worry: "Liangliang, you are not..."
Now the three little ones are already one year old, and the two of them have been together, so it is normal for them to get pregnant again.
Xia Liang glared at Ning Zhiyuan fiercely, "I will live in the school dormitory from now on!"
This man is so unrestrained. She is only a sophomore and he is pregnant again?
When Grandma Ning heard the news, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "My granddaughter-in-law is really capable!"
These three are just one year old, who would have thought that her granddaughter-in-law is pregnant again?
Ning Zhiyuan touched his nose innocently: "Wife, I was wrong. I promise I will never let you get pregnant again!"
He hadn't expected it to happen so soon. His good days were only a few days away. In fact, he didn't want to have children so soon. After all, they already had three.
Su Yaxian glared at him fiercely: "Behave yourself from now on!"
After Feng Wanjun knew that Xia Liang was pregnant again, she came over with gifts to congratulate her. However, Xia Liang's attitude was still lukewarm, and her family members were not happy with him either.
Xiaodong, on the other hand, would go over every few days to play with the three little guys, making Feng Wanjun and Meng Zhenting extremely jealous.
Three years later, Ping An Garment Factory opened three more branches. After graduating, Xia Liang stayed in the school to teach. The old ladies and old men in the compound liked to ask her to take care of their health. She became the darling of the entire compound.
"Wife, luckily we were quick! Otherwise, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu would have been gone!"
Looking at the five little guys eating together, Ning Zhiyuan felt extremely satisfied.
Xia Liang turned around and glared at him: "You are still talking nonsense!"
Looking at the man whose eyes were only on her, Xia Liang felt that her life was complete.
I heard a while ago that after Zhou Hao returned home, his father had been fired, and later he found a job in a factory to screw in screws, and he still hasn't found a wife. After Xia Jing was released from prison, she couldn't find a proper job. I heard that when she was in prison, she offended someone and had her leg broken, becoming a cripple.
In the end, I could only find a job in a restaurant and help out in the kitchen, and my life was miserable.
As for Yang Xiaohong, she got married to Wang Bin a few days ago. They are both in charge of a clothing factory and live a happy life.
Sister Sun married a college student and is now pregnant, finally fulfilling her dream of becoming a mother. Yang Caiyun did not look for a husband, saying she did not want to let her daughter down.
Thinking about the people around him, each of them was very happy, Xia Liang always smiled when he slept.
No regrets in life!
Maybe the previous life was just a dream, and being happy now is enough.
