Chapter 24 Story "They are a perfect match, they don't even have a brain...
"I think you are the one who feels guilty and refuses to confess the story between you and Sister-in-law Yanfen," said Wang Ying.
Zhao Yunsheng hadn't expected this person to actually turn the tables. He snorted and said, "Why wouldn't I be honest? There was nothing going on between her and me."
"Then tell me." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng sighed and said, "If we're talking about a story, it's still between them, Weifeng and Yanfen. I have nothing to do with it. Oh, I was sort of their matchmaker. Yanfen and I met first, and then she met Gao Weifeng through me."
"What happened next?" Wang Ying was really curious about their story now.
"Gao Weifeng fell in love with Yanfen as soon as he saw her. But...but he always thought that Yanfen and I were a couple..." Zhao Yunsheng said and glanced at Wang Ying.
"Keep talking!"
Seeing that Wang Ying had no reaction to this, Zhao Yunsheng continued, "As for Yanfen, she might have had some feelings for me at the beginning..."
Zhao Yunsheng stopped and looked at Wang Ying again.
"Tsk, hurry up and say it! You stopped again." Wang Ying pushed Zhao Yunsheng's shoulder.
Zhao Yunsheng wanted to see if Wang Ying was angry or not, and whether he cared or not, but Wang Ying's expression of watching a show made him feel a little frustrated, so he continued talking.
"That's why they say human emotions are the most difficult to explain. Gao Weifeng thinks Yanfen and I are a couple, but he can't control his feelings for her. He feels sorry for me, but he also wants to take Yanfen away from me."
Wang Ying remembered what her mother-in-law Chen Xiuqin said in the evening: You young people only know how to make love all day long. Anyway, Wang Ying has never experienced it.
"Yanfen may have had a good impression of me at the beginning and rejected Gao Weifeng. Gao Weifeng originally felt sorry for me, but after Yanfen really rejected him, he began to hate me." Zhao Yunsheng said this with a sigh in his tone.
"You haven't talked about yourself yet. Do you have any feelings for Yanfen?" Wang Ying asked.
"Of course not!" Zhao Yunsheng said unhappily.
"Then can't you just explain it to Gao Weifeng?" Wang Ying said.
"I didn't know anything about these things at the time, so what could I say?" said Zhao Yunsheng.
"Oh, then I won't interrupt you. Please continue."
"I knew nothing about their affair. At that time, I was completely focused on reading books. I met Yanfen because I borrowed a book from her through a classmate. In short, I found out about their affair completely late. I was still hanging out with them at the time. Gao Weifeng started to pursue Yanfen crazily behind my back. I don't know what was wrong with Yanfen at that time, she kept rejecting him."
Wang Ying thought, "Just because someone doesn't like me, I can't refuse them!" Why did he say she was wrong? However, Wang Ying soon understood why Zhao Yunsheng said that to her.
"Later, one time, the three of us gathered at Gao's house to play. It was during those years when the situation was at its worst. I had just arrived for a few minutes when a group of young generals suddenly rushed in, saying that Gao Weifeng was hiding and reading banned books." Zhao Yunsheng's voice lowered a bit when he said this. Wang Ying didn't say anything and waited for him to continue.
"I brought a book with me that day. I had just taken it out and put it on the table when Xiaojiang rushed in. And Yanfen, you see, her voice is very soft and gentle. Well, guess what happened that day! Xiaojiang was about to grab Gao Weifeng, but she screamed in a shrill voice, saying that I brought the book and it had nothing to do with Gao Weifeng. Gao Weifeng didn't even glance at it."
"Huh?" Wang Ying was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "You mean she chose to protect Gao Weifeng and betray you in the critical moment? Does she really like you?"
"Haha, people say true love is revealed in times of adversity. At the most critical moment, she found out that she actually liked Gao Weifeng." Zhao Yunsheng said unhappily.
"She really is out of her mind. What happened next?" Wang Ying asked.
"I'm lucky. You know I like to put book covers on my books. I wanted to take another book that day, but I took the wrong one. The one I took was not a banned book." Zhao Yunsheng said.
Wang Ying sighed, "You're really lucky, otherwise you wouldn't know where you are now."
"But at that time, I was still stupid and didn't realize the problem with Yanfen at all, because I was indeed the one who brought the book. Later, the matter was settled, Gao Weifeng and Yanfen got back together, and Gao Weifeng came to my house to apologize to me. Only then did I know about these things." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Is he really here to apologize? Is he here to show off?" Wang Ying said.
"Who knew? They're all dead," Zhao Yunsheng said. "Later, my dad almost got into trouble too. The Gao family helped a lot, and the two families didn't know there was this entanglement between the three of us, so their relationship was pretty good. They got married not long after."
"Is it over?" Wang Ying was still unsatisfied.
"No!" Zhao Yunsheng said with resentment, "They get married, I don't care at all. I don't care about what happened back then. After all, I did bring the book over. I don't mean to say bad things about the dead, but they are a perfect match. They are both mentally unstable. Didn't Gao Weifeng get sick later? He said he would return Yanfen to me, saying that his illness was retribution for stealing his brother's girlfriend."
"What about Yanfen?" Wang Ying asked.
"She's the most abnormal person. She said she'd never remarry and would remain a widow for Gao Weifeng forever. She's destined to be sorry for me in this life." Zhao Yunsheng said angrily, "The couple talked to each other without regard for my feelings from beginning to end."
Wang Ying wanted to laugh...
"Laugh if you want! Last year, someone spread the rumor that Yanfen and I were having an affair, saying that I wasn't getting married because I was waiting for her. I was afraid that you had heard the rumor and took it seriously, affecting our relationship, so I told you all this. My parents don't even know about it." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Why didn't you tell them?" Wang Ying said.
"Gao Weifeng is dead, so why am I still talking about this? Yanfen hasn't come in the past two years, so I just thought it was in the past," Zhao Yunsheng said. "Who knew she'd come again today?"
After figuring out the matter of the young widow, Wang Ying felt relieved. No wonder Zhao Yunsheng didn't even want to look at Yanfen. She took the initiative to move closer to Zhao Yunsheng.
Zhao Yunsheng was very pleased with Wang Ying's active approach and took her into his arms.
Wang Ying leaned against Zhao Yunsheng's chest, thinking, "It's just one thing, it's all good if I can just explain it to you." Why had Wang Hui and Zhao Yunsheng been at loggerheads over Yanfen in their previous life? What had Yanfen done later? Wang Ying believed Zhao Yunsheng's story for now, but she couldn't guarantee what would happen between him and Yanfen in the future.
"Yanfen is so beautiful, you really weren't attracted to her at all at that time," said Wang Ying.
Zhao Yunsheng tutted, "You really don't understand. Every man has a different definition of beauty. I like you the way you are. I'm telling you clearly today. I believe in love at first sight. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."
Zhao Yunsheng said this, but Wang Ying was not moved at all. After all, Zhao Yunsheng had married Wang Hui in his previous life. If the Du family had not gone to exchange the bride in this life, he would have married Wang Hui again.
Wang Ying didn't attach much importance to Zhao Yunsheng's love words. What she valued was Zhao Yunsheng's diligence, lively personality and respect for her.
Seeing Wang Ying remained silent, Zhao Yunsheng snorted, hugged Wang Ying tightly, and said, "You don't believe me, right? I'll prove it."
"I believe it, I believe it." Wang Ying said hurriedly.
"You're just being perfunctory with me again. Today I'm going to give you something ruthless..." Zhao Yunsheng started to act rashly as he spoke.
…
For two days, the Zhao family's dinner table was filled with gossip about their time in the countryside, gossip about the neighbors, and all sorts of stories. Director Zhao had been coming home late every day, looking glum every time. Wang Ying heard from her mother-in-law that Director Zhao didn't seem to be able to outmaneuver Director Qian, that Deputy Director Zheng had defected, and that the food factory was likely to hold an exam, likely after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The day before Mid-Autumn Festival, Director Zhao returned home early, his face darker than the bottom of a pot. Wang Ying knew immediately that the factory must be setting up a radish pit for some of its leaders. This was a society built on favors, and no matter what the date or the political climate, this fact could not be changed.
Sure enough, during the meal, Chen Xiuqin asked about the exam, and Director Zhao said it had been decided and the non-staple food factory would also participate.
After dinner, Director Zhao wanted to go back to his room but was stopped by Wang Ying.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. Please wait until I finish washing the dishes."
Wang Ying did not inform Zhao Yunsheng and Chen Xiuqin in advance, and they were all surprised that Wang Ying took the initiative to find Director Zhao.
Director Zhao was unhappy, thinking Wang Ying wanted to talk to him about the job and get him involved in the Luobokeng. In fact, to get him to agree quickly and avoid causing trouble later, Lao Qian and Lao Zheng had also offered to find a job for his daughter-in-law. But wouldn't that mean he would be in cahoots with them? Director Zhao refused.
But he couldn't ignore his daughter-in-law's face, so Director Zhao sat on the wooden sofa and waited for Wang Ying.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng went to the kitchen to wash dishes. Zhao Yunsheng asked her, "What do you want to say to Director Zhao?"
"Exam." Wang Ying said.
"You're quite courageous," Zhao Yunsheng said. "He might get angry later."
"No." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng raised his eyebrows: "So, you've already figured out a way to deal with Director Zhao?"
"What's the point of dealing with it or not?" Wang Ying handed the washed bowl to Zhao Yunsheng and continued to wash the next one.
Zhao Yunsheng chuckled: "Then I'll see what you can do next."
After the couple cleaned up the kitchen, Zhao Yunsheng took off Wang Ying's apron, waved it in his hand, and said, "Go ahead, heroine!"
Wang Ying was amused by him: "What a mess!"
Zhao Yunsheng smiled and hung up Wang Ying's apron, then took her hand and led her to the main room.
When they arrived at the door of the main hall, Zhao Yunsheng shook Wang Ying's hand vigorously, as if to give her strength and encourage her to fight bravely.
After Wang Ying entered the main room, he closed the door. The family talked behind closed doors.
Director Zhao's face darkened even more.
Wang Ying sat down at the dinner table and said, "Dad, do you disagree with the non-staple food factory holding the radish pit exam?"
"Yeah." Director Zhao nodded.
"Are you afraid of offending people?" Wang Ying said.
"Why should I be afraid of offending anyone? I have already offended those I should offend!" said Director Zhao.
In fact, although Director Zhao had offended people, he was upright and principled, and he was not personal. Therefore, many people stood on his side, and many leaders liked him and protected him. But this time, he had offended many people, and the matter was still not stopped.
"If you're not afraid of offending people, then make a big deal about it, and then openly recruit people through the exam. Of course, we won't hire for empty-handed positions, but for people who can truly bring benefits to the factory and solve the current problems faced by various factories. We'll recruit openly from all walks of life, truly being fair, just, and transparent... truly standing on the side of the people..."
The three members of the Zhao family looked at Wang Ying. Director Zhao's blood gradually boiled over after hearing what Wang Ying said...
