One family's joy is another's enmity. By the time Wang Fang found out that Li Qiuxiang had really ruined Zhao Yunxiang's job just because of her relationship with him, she had already been on the job for two days.
She stormed home and saw her mother and Qi Zhifang pasting cardboard. Her eyes were red, and she cried, "Where's Wang Hong? Wang Hong, come out here!"
After searching the house and finding no one, she turned to Qi's mother and Qi Zhifang and said, "Are you still my family? So, just because I like Yunxiang, your whole family is using me as a stepping stone to success? That's too much."
Qi Zhijun and Xiao Cui came over when they heard the noise. Qi Zhijun frowned slightly when he saw Wang Fang and said, "What's wrong? You're never home, and when you come back, you're making a ruckus!"
Qi's mother said impatiently, "Who knew she would go crazy as soon as she got back? So, my family has become your punching bag? Who spoiled her like this!"
Wang Fang snorted coldly, looking at them as if they were her enemies. "Don't you know why I left home? You're all always making veiled accusations, as if you want to throw me out like trash. How could I possibly stay here? I've seen through you all..."
Qi Zhijun was furious and said, "Explain yourself! Who told you you couldn't stay here anymore? Do you have any conscience?!"
Xiao Cui rolled her eyes and didn't say a word, just staring at the incredibly shameless Qi Zhifang.
"Isn't that right? My dad died early, and we had a hard time making ends meet. I only came back for a couple of meals, and look at your faces! You even tried to extort a house from my family. If it weren't for you, would I be homeless and living under someone else's roof? You come back for a couple of meals, occupy the kitchen for too long, and treat us like trash, ready to throw us out at any time. I've really had enough of you!"
Qi Zhijun was pale and clutched his chest, feeling like he couldn't breathe. This was the result of his wife and children leaving him, and the fact that he was over 40 years old and still hadn't been able to have a child, all so that they could have enough to eat!
Qi Zhifang frowned and said, "Fangfang, what are you saying?"
Wang Fang wiped away her tears and said, "Shut up! Are you even human? You're the last person who should be speaking here!"
I have no skills. Just because Yunxiang likes me, you guys snatched my first job and even cheated him out of 300 yuan. I just got back, and the job was about to be secured. I even got the application form, but Li Qiuxiang snatched it away. She didn't even finish elementary school, yet she has the nerve to become a beat cop. She wears her uniform every day but sways around without feeling ashamed!
"This has left Yunxiang unemployed and penniless! He's using his job to curry favor, and Wang Hong comes running back like a lapdog! Has she no shame?!" She became hysterical and incoherent by the end…
"Sister, why are you saying that!" Wang Hong was carrying two jin of millet and a jin of dates, which Li Qiuxiang had asked him to deliver. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Wang Fang cursing Li Qiuxiang, and her heart ached.
Wang Fang turned around and saw Wang Hong. Without thinking, she stepped forward and slapped Wang Hong across the face, crying, "Have I been bad to you? Since I came back to work, I've been pasting cardboard boxes every day. Every month, I've managed to squeeze out five yuan to mail to you! And this is how you treat me? She offered you a job, and you're already eager to take it. Aren't you shameless! You didn't even ask where the job came from?"
Wang Hong covered her face and choked up, saying, "My sister-in-law gave me this job! It has nothing to do with you! You have no right to talk about her!"
"Pah! You're the only one in the family who acknowledges her. Don't you know how she got married into this family? Sister-in-law? You've been sold off and you're still helping her count the money! Go back to your hometown and give up your job!" With that, he stepped forward and started tearing at Wang Hong.
Wang Hong shoved Wang Fang hard, sending her stumbling back several steps and crashing into the doorframe. She shouted, "Enough! What's wrong with her? She's good to me! She genuinely cares about me! What about you?"
She flirts with men everywhere, clinging tightly to her job. Even when I begged her, offering to give her all my wages, she wouldn't let me stay! And you? You offered me five dollars, and I'm grateful. I've always considered you my sister and never looked down on you because of what you did. I even thought about repaying you when I was able to.
You can criticize me, but you can't criticize my sister-in-law. Do you know how fierce the winds are in the Northwest? They taught me that life isn't just about poverty, but also endless hardship and suffering. That barren land can't nurture luxurious love and integrity!
Anyway, I've decided that Li Qiuxiang is my sister-in-law for life, because she saved me and gave me a second life! She's even better to me than my own mother! I'll treat her like my own mother for the rest of my life!
After saying that, she put down her things, turned around, and left. Qi Zhifang sat there with tears streaming down her face, murmuring softly, "I really wanted to raise you all well and give you the best. You have to believe me!"
Wang Fang didn't dare to look for Li Qiuxiang, so she went on a rampage at home and left again. After she left, Qi Zhijun also put on his clothes and went outside, feeling more and more unwilling and heartbroken.
Unconsciously, he arrived at Zhao Dahu's house, staring greedily at the tightly closed door. For some reason, even after 15 years, he could still clearly remember that in Zhao's clean little courtyard, there was a persimmon tree, a pomegranate tree, and a grape trellis. Under the grape trellis was a swing, and in the middle of the yard was a small wooden horse.
Before long, the door opened from the inside, and Wei Shuqing was still as radiant as ever. "Da Hu, hurry up!"
Zhao Dahu pushed his bicycle out, saying, "What's the rush? Aiguo isn't ready yet!"
Wei Shuqing pouted and said, "Let's go first. It's not like he doesn't know the way."
Zhao Dahu shook his head and said, "Forget it, we can't delay sharpening our axe while chopping wood. Hurry up and be patriotic, your mother can't wait."
A boy who was about the same height as Zhao Dahu came out shortly after. He still looked a bit like Qi Zhijun back then. This was his own child. He had prevented Qi Zhifang and her three children from recognizing each other, and his own son didn't even know he had such a father.
