"You probably don't even know how to write the words 'grateful and indebted,' do you?"
If it weren't for him, Ruan Qiushui wouldn't even be able to become a doctor at the clinic, let alone a factory director. How could she have achieved her current success?
It's just a director's position; it's not like she, the factory director, can decide it with a single word.
Now that you've grown powerful, you don't take him seriously anymore, huh?
Did she really think that her family, who lived thousands of miles away, could support her?
"Uncle, please be mindful of your behavior."
Gu Changfeng had just come to call his wife for dinner when he heard the commotion and quickly went in to protect her.
His wife is so delicate and frail, how could she withstand being scared like this by a roughneck?
"Woof woof woof".
Hei Zi rushed in instantly, baring his teeth at Gu Xianjin.
"Ruan Qiushui, I'll just ask you one question: are you going to let He Ailian be the workshop supervisor or not?"
Gu Xianjin glared at Gu Changfeng and looked angrily at Ruan Qiushui.
"impossible."
Ruan Qiushui was not afraid of Gu Xianjin.
For Gu Xianjin, the only threats she felt were her position as factory director and her identity as a clinic doctor.
It just so happens that she's pregnant and busy preparing for the college entrance exam, so she can't be bothered with these trivial matters.
The factory manager's salary plus the clinic doctor's salary didn't even amount to a fraction of what she made from selling goods on the black market once a year.
The design drawings she made for garment factories earned her more than that.
Who cares?
She is the kind of person who is least afraid of being threatened.
"Great, you're really something. We'll see."
"Changfeng, you must cherish your precious wife."
Gu Xianjin was trembling with anger and pointed at Gu Changfeng's nose as he shouted.
"Uncle, if you have any complaints, you can take them out on me. If you dare to harm my wife, don't blame me for not showing any consideration for our family ties."
Gu Changfeng gave his wife a reassuring look, then suddenly felt that his uncle was a complete stranger.
My uncle, though a bit snobbish, had his own principles.
When did things become like this, with no bottom line whatsoever?
"snort."
Gu Xianjin's face darkened, and he turned and left.
"Honey, you're not angry, and you weren't scared, were you?"
Gu Changfeng turned around, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and patted her back.
"I'm fine."
Ruan Qiushui only regarded Gu Xianjin as an ordinary relative and did not invest too much emotion in him, so it was not worth her getting angry.
As for fear, she's even less likely to be; she's not that fragile.
"That's good."
He was relieved that his wife was alright.
"Are you hungry? The food is ready, shall we eat something first?"
He stewed a fragrant soybean and pig's trotter soup for his wife, and also made her favorite boiled pork slices and steamed pork intestines.
I'm hungry.
She digests very quickly now.
"Then let's go eat."
After settling his wife in, Gu Changfeng quickly went to the kitchen to bring in the food, dishes, and utensils.
Even Hei Zi prepared a portion of pork bones that had been stewed in advance.
"It smells so good."
Ruan Qiushui's mouth watered at the smell of boiled pork slices, and she quickly picked up a piece.
"Wife, eat more."
Gu Changfeng's greatest pleasure now is watching his wife eat the food he cooks.
Seeing my wife eating so heartily, I felt incredibly satisfied.
After the two finished their meal, Ruan Qiushui went to call her parents.
Her parents had previously mentioned that their original house in Beijing had been returned to the Gu family. So Ruan Qiushui dialed the phone number she remembered, but no one answered after three attempts.
"I suppose my parents are at the research institute."
Ruan Qiushui dialed the phone number left by her grandparents again.
"Hello, this is the Chen residence. Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Ma answered the phone and asked.
"Aunt Zhang, this is Ruan Qiushui. Are Grandpa and Grandma home? I need to talk to them."
Ruan Qiushui immediately recognized Zhang Ma's voice.
"Oh, it's the young lady. The old master and the old lady are here. I'll go tell them right away."
Aunt Zhang put the microphone aside and walked towards the bedroom.
"Hey, my sweet granddaughter, are you missing Grandpa?"
Shen Yongjun answered the phone first, his face full of kindness as he spoke into the receiver.
Grandpa, how have you been lately?
We should greet him first, so as not to frighten the old man.
"With the things you brought to help him recover, Grandpa is in good health."
His granddaughter is so filial; she sends them supplements every month.
The most triumphant moment for the elderly couple is when they return from picking up their parcels at the post office.
Who has such a filial granddaughter? Those old men are so envious of him.
"Alright, I've said a few words, it's my turn now."
Liu Sanmei, growing impatient listening from the side, snatched the receiver away.
Chen Yongjun pouted, feeling wronged, and didn't dare to utter a sound.
"My dear granddaughter, is something wrong that you're calling? How have you been lately? Is it hot in Hongqi Brigade? Have you used the fan that Grandpa and Grandma bought you?"
Liu Sanmei was afraid that Ruan Qiushui would suffer, so she kept saying words of concern.
"Grandma, I'm fine, and the fan in the house is working again."
"I'm calling today because I have some good news to tell you."
It's better if she tells you about the pregnancy herself.
If her second brother had spoken first, who knows how much her grandparents would have complained about her.
"What good news? Are you and Changfeng moving back to Beijing?"
This was the only good thing Liu Sanmei could think of for the time being.
"no."
Ruan Qiushui shook her head, even though Liu Sanmei couldn't see her at all.
"Grandma, please sit down on the stool first. Don't get agitated when I tell you what I'm about to say."
Ruan Qiushui told Liu Sanmei to take safety precautions first.
"Grandma, sit down. Now you can speak."
Liu Sanmei sat in an armchair, watching Shen Yongjun beside her with a puzzled expression.
He only said two sentences, and I have to sit and listen? My wife's health is getting worse and worse.
"Grandma, I'm pregnant, almost two months along."
After Ruan Qiushui finished speaking, she listened to the reaction on the other end of the receiver.
"I'm pregnant!"
Liu Sanmei's breathing became heavy, and she gripped the armrest tightly, almost slipping off the chair.
"Dizzy? Who's dizzy?"
Shen Yongjun only heard half of it and thought someone had fainted from illness.
Could he be the granddaughter's husband? He doesn't look frail or sickly.
"It's because Ruan is pregnant. Our Shen family will be having four generations under one roof."
Liu Sanmei snapped out of her daze and excitedly shouted at Shen Yongjun.
"real?"
Shen Yongjun didn't know where to put his hands at this moment, and his mouth was stretched from ear to ear with excitement.
"real."
Liu Sanmei's ears were perfectly fine; she heard everything clearly.
"Great! Tell Ruan that we're going to see her right now."
Shen Yongjun couldn't wait to get to his granddaughter's side.
"Grandma, you and Grandpa don't need to come over. I'll visit you when I have time."
My grandparents weren't in very good health to begin with, and the bumpy ride on the road was quite exhausting.
Besides, my second brother is on his way back. It can't be that my parents aren't home, and neither are my grandparents.
