The Cheng family escorted Song Yan out.
"Brother, you should go back first. I know what you want to ask, I'll ask Song Zhiqing," said Sister-in-law Cheng.
"Sister, do you think these two children can be cured?" Sister-in-law Cheng asked anxiously.
In fact, everyone could have predicted that if these two children couldn't be saved, the two babies in the sister-in-law's womb also wouldn't be saved.
Song Yan's voice was thick with a nasal tone. "I'll go back and discuss it with Lao Han."
The second sister-in-law immediately understood what Song Yan meant. Tears streamed down her face. Although her nephew and niece weren't her own children, she had watched them grow up. She felt she couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to them.
"Song Zhiqing, shouldn't you be back and doing your work first? Your vacation is over, and you still have this kind of work attitude. You're so disorganized and undisciplined." This man looked to be about fifty years old, with his hands behind his back, speaking in an official tone. Looking at his demeanor, he'd ruined a perfectly good Zhongshan suit. This man was Cheng Qianjin.
Cheng Xiuyun: "Song Zhiqing, you don't know this yet, do you? This is Secretary Cheng of our brigade."
Behind the two of them were Widow Wang and Uncle Wei's eldest son's wife, who was also Wei Dazhuang's wife.
Song Yan wasn't just in a bad mood, he was absolutely horrified. "Whether I'm disorganized or undisciplined, I'll explain myself to the captain," Song Yan said, turning his head away. "Sister-in-law Cheng, you can go back now!"
Without looking to the side, Song Yan headed straight for the brigade leader's house.
Cheng Xiuyun grabbed Song Yan, "I'm talking to you! I'm telling you the brigade secretary is here, and now all the weaving group's affairs are under... ah!"
Song Yan raised his foot and kicked Cheng Xiuyun to the ground. "Who gave you the guts to pull and shove like that? I haven't even settled the score with you for instigating Wu Meili to slander me. You think I've forgotten? Remember this: don't talk to me if you're the kind of person who talks nonsense."
"He's supposed to be an educated youth sent to the countryside, yet he raises his hand to hit people. What kind of quality is that?" Widow Wang shouted.
“Even if I’m not very polite, I didn’t add too much salt to the electrician’s food. I didn’t sabotage our brigade’s construction.” Song Yan’s words immediately shut up Widow Wang.
"Sister-in-law, you're really going too far..." Wei Dazhuang's wife swallowed the rest of her words when she saw Song Yan's fierce gaze.
Cheng Qianjin wanted to give Song Yan a hard time, but it turned out that Cheng Qianjin still wanted to keep Song Yan in the weaving group. "Second wife, Song, the educated youth, doesn't believe I'm the brigade secretary! Talk to her and see if what Xiuyun said is true?"
Cheng Ersao didn't want to get involved, but she was afraid Song Yan would suffer, so she didn't leave in a hurry. According to seniority, she should call Cheng Qianjin Uncle. "Song Zhiqing, my uncle is the newly appointed secretary of our brigade."
"So it really is our brigade secretary! I really didn't believe Cheng Xiuyun's character; it was a misunderstanding. Leader, you go ahead with your work; I'll go find the brigade leader to cancel my leave." Song Yan was still about to leave.
Cheng Qianjin was furious at Song Yan's cold attitude, and his expression became even more serious. "Song, from now on, I'll be in charge of the weaving group. I'll handle your over-leave issue; you don't need to go to the brigade leader."
It was only at this point that Song Yan fully turned his attention to Secretary Cheng.
Secretary Cheng felt a little better now. If you don't want me to deal with you, you'd better behave.
Song Yan: "I only left because the brigade leader gave me leave. I didn't violate any rules. When I come back, I can report to either the brigade leader or the secretary. But the secretary can't say that I violated any rules."
“Seeing that you are young, I was originally planning to treat your case leniently, considering that you educated youth are so far from home and it is not easy for you to go home and spend a few more days with your parents. But your attitude…” Cheng Qianjin deliberately dragged out his words.
"If I've made a mistake, I'll correct it. But I haven't found any mistakes in myself! Why am I being punished?" Song Yan felt a little better after kicking Cheng Xiuyun.
Cheng Xiuyun: "You're on holiday and you still haven't come back. You're disorganized and undisciplined. Shouldn't you be punished?! Ah!"
He kicked her once, feeling a little relieved, but then thought, "What if I slap her?" So Song Yan didn't hesitate and went up and slapped her across the face. "I told you not to talk to me!"
Cheng Xiuyun was kicked and slapped in quick succession. Could she still maintain any authority in the weaving group? She reached out to scratch her. Song Yan dodged the first blow, then the second…
Li Yuanzhao is no longer enthusiastic about going to the knitting group. By the time she arrived, Secretary Cheng had already brought Cheng Xiuyun and the others to find Song Yan.
Li Yuanzhao guessed that Secretary Cheng would give Song Yan a hard time first. The holiday was her biggest weakness. She hurriedly followed, afraid that Song Yan would lose her temper and quit.
Quitting is fine, but not now. We need to settle the matter of the leave slip now. Not returning after the leave is a serious matter. If Secretary Cheng insists on recording it in Song Yan's file, no one can stop him.
Li Yuanzhao rushed out in a hurry, just in time to be seen by Huang Guoqing. He asked her what had happened.
Li Yuanzhao said she wanted to go see Song Yan.
Nobody knows that Song Yan has returned yet.
The woman who was working heard that Song Yan had returned. No wonder Cheng Xiuyun had been muttering to herself when she saw the secretary arrive.
Everyone has seen how difficult things have been for Li Yuanzhao these past few days. Is the Party Secretary going to make things difficult for Song, the educated youth, again?
These past few days, Cheng Xiuyun has been constantly interfering while we're editing things, and the worst part is that what she says is completely off-topic and unreasonable. She just wants to show off that she's now in a position of authority. Those who used to do the work are also feeling uneasy about it.
Because their child was sick and the eldest sister-in-law wasn't feeling well, none of the three sisters-in-law in the Cheng family went to work. Wang Wenjuan also stopped working. The family wasn't particularly enthusiastic about work to begin with.
