"How can we do that? You're pregnant, that's the time when you need someone to take care of you. How can we leave you feeling at ease?"
She regretted not being able to be by her daughter-in-law's side to take care of her when she was pregnant.
Now that her granddaughter is pregnant, she wants to make up for it.
"Grandma, you and Grandpa came here, didn't you? You made me worry. I still have my mother-in-law and Changfeng to take care of me."
"When Changfeng and I have time, we'll come to Beijing to see you."
"And my second brother, he's back from his vacation too, he should be home tomorrow. I heard he's started dating someone, you guys should interrogate him properly."
Ruan Qiushui betrayed Ruan Qi'an in an instant.
My second brother is a perfect shield; we might as well use him.
"But."
Liu Sanmei was still a little worried.
"Alright, since our dear granddaughter is worried about us going back, let's send her more tonics."
Their granddaughter is pregnant, and the two of them, being elderly, can't let her worry about them anymore.
"Hengzhi and Ruyi are not home, so we can't let Qi'an come back for nothing."
Thinking of her second grandson, whom she had never met, she wondered what he looked like.
Seeing that the two elders had compromised, Ruan Qiushui happily hung up the phone.
That evening, Gu Changfeng specially invited Xie Xiuying and Gu Guangrong to have dinner together.
"Third daughter-in-law, we've also heard about what happened to Changfeng's uncle today."
“You’re pregnant now, so you can’t hold a grudge. And don’t worry, if his uncle dares to do anything, your father and I are here for you.”
Xie Xiuying looked indignant.
When Xie Xiuying first heard her third brother mention this, she was furious.
That idiot Gu Xianjin actually blatantly instigated his daughter-in-law to abuse her power for personal gain.
That He Ailian is a bottomless pit of greed, constantly asking for this and that, never giving an inch and wanting a mile.
If she had known, she wouldn't have lent Gu Xianjin that two hundred yuan.
Now he dares to threaten his third daughter-in-law and try to remove her from her position as factory director. What kind of person is Gu Xianjin?
She knew very well that if it weren't for her third daughter-in-law's family connections, Gu Xianjin, a mere village official, would even have a chance to apply to set up a factory.
Why didn't so many brigades that met the criteria better than the Red Flag Brigade get their turn?
If the small workshop is located in Hongqi Brigade, does that mean it can't be moved?
He had to be nominated to become the factory director? If someone else were to become the factory director, the factory would be gone.
"Third son's wife, what do you think about this?"
Gu Guangrong wanted to hear his third daughter-in-law's opinion.
"Dad, Mom, if I resign from my positions as factory manager and clinic doctor, will you think I'm stupid?"
Since Gu Guangrong asked, Ruan Qiushui told the truth.
"Huh? Did Gu Xianjin threaten you to do this?"
Xie Xiuying was a little confused; why did she suddenly decide to resign?
"No, it's my own fault."
Gu Xianjin has no right to give up her position as factory director; only she can make that decision.
Perhaps because she was frightened when she went to the human traffickers' hideout last time, she hasn't been sleeping well these past two days.
Pregnancy already requires a lot of sleep, and I also have to go to work every day and see doctors frequently. It's exhausting.
That meager salary was insignificant compared to her and her child's circumstances.
Money can be earned slowly, but your health is your own responsibility.
"Do what you want to do, your mother and I won't interfere."
Although he would prefer a daughter-in-law who is a factory manager or a doctor.
But if this makes the third daughter-in-law uncomfortable, then vanity is better off gone.
Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; all they need to do is support them from behind, and the rest is up to them.
“Your father is right. Our family doesn’t need your money. We still have Changfeng to earn money.”
Although it was a bit of a pity for the factory manager's salary, the thought of Gu Xianjin giving his third daughter-in-law a hard time made him instantly forget about it.
"Thank you for your understanding and support, Mom and Dad."
She will go to the factory tomorrow to hand over her work.
During this time, she also saw Ren Quan's abilities, and she felt at ease letting Ren Quan take the lead.
The food factory's initial purpose was to improve the living standards of the brigade and even the surrounding villagers, which could be considered a benefit to society. Most importantly, it was a way to provide Xie Xiuying and others with some light work and increase their income.
Now, her original aspirations will not change because of Gu Xianjin, and Ren Quan also has the ability to change the current situation of the brigade.
As for Gu Xianjin, well, just wait and see. That daughter-in-law of his will give him a hard time.
The next morning, Gu Changfeng went to the brigade office on behalf of Ruan Qiushui to submit the clinic's resignation letter.
Ruan Qiushui also went to the factory to hand over her work to Ren Quan. No matter how Ren Quan tried to persuade her, she resolutely resigned from her position as factory director.
"Director Ruan, once you are the director of Hongqi Food Factory, you will be the director of Hongqi Food Factory for life. The workers and I will never forget your contributions."
Ren Quan was still somewhat sentimental, and his eyes quietly reddened.
Later, he and the factory workers spontaneously organized a farewell party to say goodbye to Ruan Qiushui.
When Ruan Qiushui left the food factory, the reasons for her resignation became a hot topic of discussion.
Xie Xiuying, Zhou Lan, and He Chunhua were quite direct.
Whenever someone asks, they honestly give the reason.
It's about Gu Xianjin forcing Ruan Qiushui to give his daughter-in-law preferential treatment, and how he clamored for Ruan Qiushui to step down.
They didn't give Gu Xianjin any face at all.
After that, Gu Xianjin's bad reputation spread throughout the surrounding villages, and he was even summoned by the commune leaders and scolded for an entire afternoon.
Ruan Qiushui, the founder of Hongqi Food Factory, was a principled, innovative, and dedicated factory manager who worked for the benefit of his workers. He drove her away just like that? Is he even human?
Gu Changpeng and He Ailian also suffered, bearing the stigma of getting in through connections and being ostracized by the workers.
Ruan Qiushui resigned and went home, instantly feeling much more relaxed.
Not only do they sleep well and eat well, but they can even read a few more pages of a book.
He Ailian's pregnancy couldn't wait any longer, so she married Gu Changpeng.
After failing to secure the supervisor position, he asked Gu Xianjin for another 200 yuan as a bride price.
I don't know where Gu Xian borrowed it from, but he managed to gather the money in less than two days.
On the day of Gu Changpeng's wedding, Gu Guangrong still went out of politeness.
He returned the money Gu Xianjin had given him as a wedding gift, and went home without even having a meal.
Gu Xianjin was furious and threatened to sever his brotherly relationship with Gu Guangrong.
Gu Guangrong couldn't be bothered with him.
If it weren't for their blood relation, he would have made Gu Xianjin return the two hundred yuan at the wedding.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Ruan Qiushui was four months pregnant. Her morning sickness had disappeared, and her belly was becoming more and more obvious.
The autumn harvest is here, and the busy farming season begins.
The current factory director, Ren Quan, also discussed with the leadership and decided to give the factory workers a two-week holiday for the busy farming season. They also gave each worker a pound of pork, two pounds of rice, and half a pound of sugar.
May they take care of their health while they enjoy the autumn harvest.
