Chapter 161: Confession When Wang Yongren heard what Wang Hui said, he was furious...
The non-staple food factory was undergoing drastic reforms, and the cannery was also going to move from its original location. I heard that they were going to introduce a set of advanced foreign equipment to expand their production scale.
Only the Panda Biscuit Factory and the Sauce Factory remain at the original site of the food factory. However, the sauce factory will eventually relocate. They already have a new drying yard. Once the sauces from the current drying yard are finished, they will move to the new site. At that time, the original food factory land will be allocated to the Panda Biscuit Factory.
National Day in 1979 was also the wedding anniversary of Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng, who had been married for five years.
This year's wedding anniversary photos were taken in front of the Panda Biscuit Factory. The sign was just put up yesterday. It's a day off for the workers, but the factory is bustling with activity. The cannery is relocating.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng stood in front of the factory sign and took a photo together. Then they went back into the factory together. The old comrade in the reception room politely called out, "Director Wang."
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng were walking in the factory. Zhao Yunsheng would turn his head to look at Wang Ying from time to time. Director Wang, at the age of 25, was really young and promising.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Wang Ying asked.
"I am deeply attracted by the light you emit and can't take my eyes off you," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"Smooth talker." Wang Ying laughed and thought that Zhao Yunsheng might not be able to change this bad habit.
Not only was the cannery relocating today, but some employees whose jobs had been changed had also returned to the factory to collect some personal belongings. Wang Ying saw several comrades whose faces he recognized but whose names he could not remember, and they all greeted him.
Wang Ying saw Qian Tongsheng and Zheng Liancheng at the original site of the cannery, where they were directing the transportation.
"Director Qian, Director Zheng." Wang Ying greeted them, and Zhao Yunsheng followed suit.
"Deputy Director!" Qian Tongsheng corrected her.
Zheng Liancheng smiled and said, "Director Wang is here."
"From now on, this place is up to you!" Qian Tongsheng looked around and said with emotion.
"If I don't understand something or encounter difficulties at work in the future, I will trouble you two senior leaders to give me more guidance." Wang Ying said sincerely.
"Don't worry, these five years of working together have not been in vain," said Qian Tongsheng.
Zheng Liancheng also said: "Help each other and make progress together."
"Director Wang, will the new factory have new products?" Qian Tongsheng asked.
"Wait for a period of stabilization and try to launch new products by the end of the year," said Wang Ying.
Qian Tongsheng nodded: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it!"
Qian Tongsheng couldn't help but wonder, if Wang Ying hadn't become the factory director, would she still have released new products? What would she have done? However, this assumption didn't exist. He then realized that the current top leader of Beichong was optimistic about Wang Ying, and perhaps even Wang Ying herself didn't know it.
Seeing Zhao Yunsheng holding a camera, Qian Tongsheng said with a smile, "Yunsheng, please take a photo for us."
"Okay." Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.
Wang Ying stood between Qian Tongsheng and Zheng Liancheng and the three of them took a photo together.
"I'll send the photos to you two once they're developed," said Wang Ying.
Qian and Zheng both agreed with a smile.
After talking for a while, Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng left the factory and went home.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Yueyue standing in the middle of the yard with her hands on her hips and her belly sticking out.
"Dad is bad! Mom is bad!"
Chen Xiuqin smiled and said, "She knew she didn't have to go to work today, and she was furious when she saw you guys go out without her."
Zhao Yunsheng picked up the camera and took a picture of his daughter, who was standing with her hands on her hips, belly sticking out, head tilted and pouting.
Wang Ying stepped forward and picked up her daughter. Zhao Yunsheng took another photo and then asked Chen Xiuqin to take a group photo of the three of them.
After taking their photos, Chen Xiuqin said to the family of three, "Why don't you go to Yueyue's grandmother's house to play? She hasn't been here for a long time."
Wang Ying had noticed long ago that her mother had not come. She felt that her mother was still digesting the events of her past life and did not dare to face her.
"Are you going?" Zhao Yunsheng asked.
"Go ahead." Wang Ying said.
"Yueyue wants to go too!" Yueyue said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go together!" Wang Ying said with a smile.
Chen Xiuqin handed them the gifts she had prepared: "Here, we've prepared everything for you. Have fun when you get there. It's not easy for them either."
Ever since Li Fengju brought Wang Ying back from the Public Security Bureau, she has never visited Wang Ying's house again, nor has she been to Wang Hui's house.
Li Fengju rarely left the house. Except for cooking, she spent her days in a daze, feeling the retribution would befall her at any moment. She couldn't eat well during the day, and couldn't sleep at night. Wang Yongren didn't believe in retribution, but seeing Li Fengju like this, she wondered if it was retribution that had made her so paranoid.
Wang Yongren wanted to go find his two daughters, but he was unwilling to face them. One of his daughters was too busy, and the other was too heartless to come to see them. Wang Yongren felt that this was retribution.
"Mom, let's go see grandma. She hasn't come to see me for a long time."
Wang Hui’s home, Huanhuan said to Wang Hui.
"No!" Wang Hui said angrily, "Your grandma sent me back last time, so I won't go!"
"Mom, please, take me there." Huanhuan begged Wang Hui pitifully, and cast a pleading look at Du Jianguo.
The Du family was now without their two sisters-in-law, and their mother-in-law was bedridden, unconscious after a fall. With the support of her father-in-law, Wang Hui had become the boss of the family. With her father-in-law's monthly allowance and her husband's salary, she lived a comfortable life.
Ever since Du Jianguo's father taught him some "ways to control his wife," he found that life wasn't so difficult anymore. Wang Hui was actually quite easy to deal with. He and Wang Hui no longer argued or fought, and the three of them were quite harmonious when they were together.
Du Jianguo said, "Why don't you go? Aunt Wu is here today, so I'll go with you."
Seeing her daughter begging so hard and Du Jianguo saying so, Wang Hui finally relented and said, "Okay, let's go back and take a look."
"Mom, you are the best! You are the best mom in the world!" Huanhuan cheered happily.
"Hmph, if I take you there, I'm the best mom. If I don't, I'm not the best mom." Wang Hui glanced at her daughter.
"Mom is always the best mom!" Huanhuan came over and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, go change your clothes, and I'll re-braid your hair later." Wang Hui pushed Huanhuan away.
Huanhuan happily went to look through the drawer where her clothes were kept. Wang Hui loved beauty and loved dressing up Huanhuan, so Huanhuan had no shortage of clothes.
The mother and daughter were both dressed up beautifully and went out with fragrant smells. Du Jianguo was very happy and proud to see the beautiful mother and daughter.
Du Jianguo drove Wang Hui and her daughter to Old Wang's house. When they arrived at the entrance of the alley near Old Wang's house, they ran into Wang Ying's family of three.
"Aunt! Uncle! Yueyue!" Huanhuan waved happily at the bicycle on the opposite side.
Wang Hui looked past Du Jianguo and saw her eldest sister's family. She immediately rolled her eyes and felt that she shouldn't go out today.
"Sister!" Yueyue also waved to Huanhuan.
The two families arrived at the door of Lao Wang's house. Lao Wang's house was quiet. It was almost noon, and Lao Wang's pots and pans were silent. It was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
"Grandma isn't home?" Huanhuan went forward and knocked on the door.
Yueyue also knocked on the door.
After a long while, Wang Yongren finally came to open the door. Seeing that it was his two daughters, he walked back without saying a word.
Wang Ying and Wang Hui looked at each other, neither of them understood what was wrong with Old Wang.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa!"
The two children shouted at the same time, and this shout brought Wang Yongren back to his senses, and he turned around again.
"Huanhuan and Yueyue are here." Wang Yongren said.
When Wang Ying and the others entered the room, they did not see Li Fengju coming out to greet them.
"Dad, isn't Mom at home?" Wang Ying asked.
"I'm here." Wang Yongren said dully, "I'm not feeling well and sleeping."
Wang Ying frowned as he walked towards Li Fengju's room, saying, "Is it the same problem as last time? Did you go to the hospital again?"
Wang Yongren didn't answer. He was looking at his two daughters and two sons-in-law, his mind a little confused.
Wang Yongren's face was rather dark, so he didn't look very haggard, but Li Fengju had sunken eyes and a thin figure. Lying in bed, she looked even sicker than Sun Qiaoling.
"Mom!" Wang Ying and Wang Hui shouted at the same time.
Li Fengju didn't sleep well at night, but she could sleep for a while during the day when it was bright. But her sleep was not deep, and she would wake up as soon as her two daughters called out.
Wang Ying and Wang Hui had already walked to the bedside. Li Fengju looked at the two sisters and closed her eyes again.
The two little ones also came in and lay down beside the bed.
Huanhuan burst into tears when she saw Li Fengju like this: "Grandma, are you sick too? Like my grandma?"
After Huanhuan said this, Li Fengju's face became even uglier. She already felt that she was going to get retribution, but she didn't expect the child to say so too.
When Huanhuan started crying, Yueyue started crying too.
"Yingzi, hurry up and send Mom to the hospital," Zhao Yunsheng said.
Li Fengju waved her hand: "I'm fine, no need to go to the hospital."
Heart disease cannot be cured in hospitals.
Among the people present, apart from the old couple, only Wang Ying knew the reason.
She sat down beside the bed and held Li Fengju's hand: "Mom, I've been busy at the factory recently and haven't come to see you. It's my fault."
"I know you are busy. Your father said that you are the factory director. The youngest factory director in Beichong is really amazing." Li Fengju said slowly, as if she was on the verge of death.
"Mom, I shouldn't have been angry with you and stopped visiting you. I was wrong." Wang Hui felt very uncomfortable seeing her mother like this, and quickly apologized as well.
Li Fengju glanced at Wang Hui, then at Huanhuan and Yueyue, and said, "Huanhuan, be good, Yueyue, don't cry, grandma is fine."
Wang Yongren didn't come into the room either. He stood by the door and said, "You're not sick, so get up. The children are back. Get up and cook. I'll go buy some groceries."
Wang Ying glanced at Zhao Yunsheng, who understood and said, "I'll go buy it."
"I'm going too." Du Jianguo felt that the atmosphere was not right and didn't want to stay here, so he quickly followed suit.
Wang Ying said, "Huanhuan and Yueyue should go too."
Zhao Yunsheng thought Wang Ying might want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her mother-in-law and didn't want the children to hear it, so he just picked up Yueyue. Du Jianguo followed suit and took Huanhuan away.
As soon as his two sons-in-law and granddaughter left, Wang Ying said, "Dad, close the gate."
Wang Hui looked at Wang Ying suspiciously: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Wang Yongren went to close the gate without saying a word, and then returned to the room.
Li Fengju had turned her head towards the bed and didn't look at anyone.
Wang Hui felt something was wrong and asked Wang Ying, "What happened to Mom?"
"My parents know everything," said Wang Ying.
"What did you know?" Wang Hui didn't react for a moment.
Wang Ying looked at her coldly. Wang Hui shuddered and said tremblingly, "Is it... is it that thing?"
"Um."
Wang Hui immediately stood up from the bedside and said incoherently: "I know... I know, so what. It doesn't matter. It's all in the past life anyway. Now is now, isn't it good now? Why is Mom like this..."
Wang Yongren raised his hand high towards Wang Hui, wanting to hit her but not doing so. Wang Hui was wrong, but they had also allowed her to do so.
Wang Hui shrank her neck and trembled twice in fear.
"It's karma," Li Fengju murmured. "Qiaoling and Jianguo are both punished."
At first, Wang Ying thought that Li Fengju could not accept what happened in her previous life, but she did not expect her to think about this.
"What's the point of saying retribution?" Wang Hui said, "Mom, don't you think this life is better? Look at how successful my eldest sister is, and how close she is to her brother-in-law. I'm doing fine now, too. What are you so upset about? Sister, are you blaming Mom for pushing her like this?"
After hearing what Wang Hui said, Wang Yongren hit her three times on the face.
"Dad! You hit me again!" Wang Hui turned around and glared at Wang Yongren.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! Who caused this trouble?" Wang Yongren said viciously.
"Okay, stop arguing." Wang Ying scolded, "Wang Hui, Mom thinks your mother-in-law and Du Jianguo are both in bad health in this life because of sins they committed in their previous lives. She's worried that I'll end up like them."
"What a sin..." Wang Hui originally wanted to say what sin they had committed, but when she realized what was happening, she was speechless.
Wang Ying sighed: "Mom, have you forgotten what I told you last time? Didn't I tell you to treat it as a dream? I don't blame you, really, don't take it to heart."
"God sees it all," said Li Fengju.
"God isn't so idle as to see everything," Wang Ying said. "You're acting like this now, isn't that making me feel guilty again? If anything happens to you, won't I be the one to suffer retribution?"
"You won't do that. If anything happens to me, it's my own fault." Li Fengju said hurriedly.
"Then you should think more positively. I thought I explained it clearly to you that day. Why do you start to have random thoughts now? You haven't been home for so many days! I think you are just trying to make life difficult for me." Wang Ying said.
Li Fengju sat up: "I didn't..."
"Do you listen to me?" Wang Ying asked loudly.
"Listen." Li Fengju responded in a low voice.
"Just listen and don't think too much. Look at you now. You have lost so much weight. If you fall ill, you will need me to come back to take care of you. Wouldn't that be a waste of my time? You said you would compensate me well, and this is how you compensate me?" Wang Ying said.
Li Fengju lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Wang Ying snorted coldly and said, "In the final analysis, you are still selfish!"
Li Fengju suddenly looked up at Wang Ying, and Wang Yongren also looked at her.
"If you really feel that you are wrong and want to repent, then even if retribution is really coming, you will think about compensating me and treating me well before retribution comes! Not like now!" Wang Ying's voice became colder as he spoke.
Li Fengju and Wang Yongren were both stunned, feeling that what Wang Ying said seemed to make sense.
Wang Hui was furious and frightened. She didn't know why her parents were thinking about their past lives. What if the Du family knew about it, too? Wang Hui shuddered again, terrified.
Li Fengju held Wang Ying's hand back: "Yingzi, Mom really knows now. I won't think about it anymore. I will take good care of my body and stay healthy." Li Fengju said.
"Do what you say?" Wang Ying asked as if he was scolding a child.
"Yes, I will definitely do it." said Li Fengju.
"That's good. I'll give you one last chance. If you continue like this, I won't come here again and you won't be allowed to go home!" Wang Ying said fiercely.
"I understand, I understand, now I really understand." Li Fengju said this, and it seemed that her energy and spirit had returned a little.
"Dad, what about you?" Wang Ying asked again.
"Me too." Wang Yongren said in a low voice.
Wang Hui became even more frightened when she saw how her elder sister had subdued her parents. She lowered her head and dared not look at anyone.
Wang Ying ignored Wang Hui and stood up and said, "I'll put the rice in the pot first."
"I'll go help!" Wang Hui didn't dare to stay and face her parents.
"Huihui, stay." Li Fengju said.
Wang Hui didn't dare to move and could only stay.
Wang Ying went to the kitchen alone to wash rice and cook.
Li Fengju looked at Wang Hui and didn't know where to start.
Wang Hui took the initiative to hold Li Fengju's hand and cried, "Mom, Mom, I know I was wrong. Look, my eldest sister is doing well now, and I have already brought retribution upon myself. I have to take care of my paralyzed mother-in-law and have a husband who is inhumane. I have also lost your trust and love. This is all my retribution. Please don't blame me, Mom."
"I don't blame you, but you have to promise me that you will be a good person in the future, educate Huanhuan well, and become independent and strong..." said Li Fengju.
"Okay, I promise you everything." When Wang Hui heard that her mother didn't blame her, she agreed to whatever she said next, "Just don't blame me."
When Li Fengjue saw Wang Hui's perfunctory attitude, she knew that it would be difficult for her to change. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to make her independent and strong.
Wang Yongren also said a few words to Wang Hui, but as Wang Hui said, Wang Ying is living a good life now. It is Wang Hui herself who really seems to be suffering retribution. What else can be said about her?
Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her parents did not blame her, and asked carefully, "Mom and Dad, how did you both think of this?" She suspected that it was her eldest sister who said it.
"I dreamt about it," said Li Fengju.
"Dreamt of it? Then you took it seriously?" Wang Hui widened her eyes.
"The dream was too real. Considering your two sisters' abnormal behavior, why wouldn't I believe it? Besides, your father and I had the same dream," said Li Fengju.
Wang Huixin hit rock bottom. Her parents dreamed about their past lives. So would Du Jianguo's parents dream about their past lives? Would Du Jianguo dream about their past lives too?
"You, what did you dream about?" Wang Hui asked in a panic.
"I just fell asleep and dreamed." said Li Fengju.
Wang Yongren saw what Wang Hui was afraid of and said, "The night your mother had the dream, I gave her a sleeping pill."
Li Fengju didn't understand what was going on and immediately said, "You gave me sleeping pills?!"
"You were so worried about Yingzi at that time that you didn't sleep every day. What could I do?" Wang Yongren said.
"What about Dad?" Wang Hui asked again.
"I listened to what your mother said, and then I slept in your room and dreamed about it. It was exactly the same as what your mother said." Wang Yongren said.
"I...what should I do if Jianguo and the others also have this dream? Will they think I'm not as good as my elder sister..." Wang Hui was completely panicked.
"That's why I told you to be independent and strong. Even if they become suspicious or find out, and you divorce, or whatever, you can still live your life on your own," Li Fengju said. She now finds the Du family repulsive, and even if Wang Hui wants to divorce Du Jianguo, she agrees.
"I..." Wang Hui clenched her hands tightly, she had never been so scared as now.
Wang Yongren added, "Don't count on us. We're all old, and you still have a long way to go. If you don't stand up for yourself, no one knows what will happen to you in the future."
Wang Hui's face turned pale. For the first time in her two lives, she felt helpless. But in a flash, she felt that if Du Jianguo thought about his past life, he would surely remember how much he loved her and how hard it was for them to be together. Maybe he would love her even more! Who said he would definitely despise her? In his past life, Du Jianguo always looked down on her elder sister in front of her, always regretting that he didn't marry her! Thinking of this, Wang Hui actually had more hope for Du Jianguo than before.
Li Fengju saw Wang Hui's expression change and said, "Du Jianguo is the most unreliable person. You can't count on him the most."
Wang Hui said she understood, but she didn't think so in her heart. Her mother said it simply, to be self-reliant, but what exactly does it mean to be self-reliant? She is living a good life now, so why is she not self-reliant? The Du family is counting on her! Isn't she strong enough?
