On the way from Chongming County to Baiyunzhuang, Hao Zhengguang kept glancing at An Jing from the side, paying attention to her condition at all times.
The two of them had been together for so long that An Jing naturally knew what he was thinking. She looked at the nervous look on his face and smiled for a moment before she said, "Don't be nervous. Aunt Hong and Sister Yu'er mentioned that to me, and Ajie also explained the whole story.
They all say you are pitiful, but I think you deserve it. You don't learn your lesson, so what is there to pity about?
But don't worry, it's not the first day we've known each other. What happened in the past is in the past. I don't care about it anymore. At worst, I can find another handsome guy to play with in the future, and then we'll be even."
Hao Zhengguang smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "My dear aunt, please calm down and give birth to my eldest son smoothly first. I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life, isn't that enough..."
In the afternoon, the two arrived at Baiyun Manor safely. They had not been back for almost ten years. Everything seemed to have changed, yet it seemed that nothing had changed.
Influenced by current policies and economic levels, many families have become well-off and renovated their houses, making the village look cleaner and tidier than before, and some roads have also undergone subtle changes.
Hao Zhengguang found his way home relying on his memory, but discovered that his own house was still the same old house that had not been renovated or newly built, and even the courtyard wall was still the same as he remembered it.
In the yard, his mother was tending a piece of land. Her hair had become more silver-white, and her movements were much slower. She had aged visibly.
From afar, Hao Zhengguang's eyes were filled with tears. He stood in front of the door for a moment, then pushed it open, took a few steps inside, looked at the old figure, and shouted hoarsely: "Mom, your unfilial son... is back!"
Hearing this voice, his mother was startled at first, then slowly raised her head to look at the figure in the distance. From unfamiliar to familiar, from blurry to clear, she dropped her hoe and stumbled over. Tears were already streaming down her face. She hugged Hao Zhengguang tightly and shouted to the house, "Old man, come out quickly! Our son is back!"
When they were young, Hao Zhengguang brought Li Huanhuan from the next village home. After many twists and turns, they were about to get married. However, an accident happened when the parents of both parties met. Li Huanhuan's father was drunk and outspoken. Perhaps he was upset about marrying his daughter, so he said some unpleasant words.
After this experience, Hao Zhengguang's father refused to agree to this marriage no matter what, and when the other party saw his attitude, they also gave up.
So the pressure fell on the two young people. After some discussion, they had a big fight with their parents at home and eloped to the big city to make a living.
Originally thought that what followed would be a touching love story, but a series of messy things happened later, causing Hao Zhengguang to lose everything and go to jail.
After he was released from prison, he felt ashamed to go home, so by chance he ended up following You Tianfu, and their relationship has continued until now.
At this moment, the father and son met again, and the resentment between them had long since disappeared. Hao Zhengguang knelt down in front of his parents and kowtowed three times to express his lack of filial piety and care for the two elders over the years.
Sitting in the house, Hao Zhengguang recounted his experiences over the years, but omitted the part where he went to jail. He only said that he was betrayed by Li Huanhuan, and then followed his friends abroad to work hard. He has just returned to China after building a career. An Jing is a Chinese person he met abroad, and the two have known each other and fallen in love until today.
Looking at An Jing's bulging belly, the old couple couldn't stop smiling and busied themselves taking care of her. Worried that she couldn't adapt to the rural living environment, they cleaned up a room for her overnight. The father planned to buy an air conditioner and install it tomorrow. The mother took care of her in every possible way, even bringing her a sip of water to her mouth.
Looking at the appearance of the house inside and out, Hao Zhengguang secretly vowed in his heart that he must be filial to his parents in the future. He made a brief plan. First, he went to the local Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate with An Jing, and then began to renovate and expand the old house. After everything was arranged, he would invite the whole village to hold a wedding. It was reasonable, legal and compliant, and he would officially marry An Jing!
Although the village is not as avant-garde as the city, information always flows the fastest. The next day, the whole village knew that Hao Zhengguang had returned. They also knew that he had changed his wife again. The woman he brought back was not Li Huanhuan from the past. So some gossip lovers started talking about it behind his back. The news that spread was overwhelming, and each one was more outrageous than the other.
An Jing naturally noticed all this, but she wasn't the petty type. On the contrary, she was even more tolerant than Hao Zhengguang. Not only did she not care about the rumors, she even joined the village's "gossip brigade," actively telling those curious people about how she and Hao Zhengguang met. She spread rumors here and there, raising Hao Zhengguang's profile...
The whole family in Baiyun Village was happy, but things were not going well in Hongcheng. You Tianfu brought a group of brothers to Hongcheng. Since Ding Wenlong was the largest liquor merchant in the area and quite famous, they found out the detailed location of the liquor company with almost no effort.
After finding the target location, You Tianfu led his men into the company building and negotiated with the front desk. It was not known whether the receptionist was deliberately making things difficult for them or Yu Wenlong was too arrogant. They sat in the reception hall for the entire morning and did not even see Yu Wenlong. They were also told that they needed to make an appointment and the earliest they could get a seat would be the day after tomorrow.
Lin Lidong didn't have much patience to begin with, and waiting for a whole morning was already his limit. At that moment, his eyes widened, and a ruthless spirit emerged, and he stood up and tried to force his way in.
Murong Jie quickly pulled him back and said in a deep voice, "Dongzi, calm down. We are here to discuss cooperation, not to fight. If you force your way in like this, even if you can see Yu Wenlong, we will become enemies!
This kind of thing can't be solved by force, only by wits. You wait here, I'll go and do some exercises!"
After saying that, he stood up and went back to the bar, where he exchanged glances with the receptionist for a long time. Finally, they exchanged contact information before returning and waving at his brothers: "It's not that the girl is trying to make things difficult for me, but Yu Wenlong is not here today. He's celebrating his 60th birthday today, and he's probably having a birthday banquet right now.
I've already found out the address, let's go straight over and celebrate for him too!"
