Chapter 246: The Pregnancy Forces the Parents-in-Laws 3: Forbidden to Arrange Blind Dates for Him,
Director Zhang was in big trouble. He was working peacefully when the phone from the factory office suddenly rang. Director Yuan asked him to stop his work immediately and go to the compound.
When he got there, his father had just finished being scolded and was hanging his head with a look of sorrow and resentment on his face. When he saw him coming, he sighed silently.
It was his fault. He misjudged people's hearts and actually thought that his cousin was a good person.
Logically speaking, he has helped their family a lot over the years, so how could he have helped a family of enemies?
People's hearts have changed so much that it makes people helpless.
It was too late to say anything now, so he could only lie and say that Lu Yuan's child was someone else's, and he was afraid that she would come and try to scam his son, so he went to his cousin's family in the countryside to find a way to get rid of the child.
Director Yuan certainly couldn't believe his one-sided statement, so he immediately looked at Director Zhang and asked him if this was true.
Director Zhang was dumbfounded. He stared at his father blankly, not knowing what to do.
If he told the truth, he might even lose his position as factory director. But if he lied and insisted that Lu Yuan's child was someone else's, wouldn't he be irresponsible?
Moreover, once this matter gets out, Lu Yuan will definitely be pointed at by others, and even the child will be labeled a bastard and will be criticized.
What should he do? What should he do? Why did God play such a huge joke on him without even saying a word?
He had a sad face and hesitated again and again, but still didn't know how to start.
Director Yuan knew at first sight that this man was a loser. With his own abilities, he would never be able to become a factory director in his lifetime. Now that his father had been reported because of his affairs, he didn't even think of standing up to defend his father. It was really disheartening, and it also made Director Yuan determined to replace him.
He didn't urge him, but just quietly lowered his head to deal with the documents in his hands. He wanted to see if this piece of trash could give him an explanation today.
I thought the situation would remain deadlocked, but more than half an hour later, Lu Yuan received the news from the factory and rushed over.
I have to say that this woman is much smarter than her man. She knelt on the ground as soon as she arrived and took all the responsibility on herself.
"Director Yuan, it's my fault. I wasn't careful. I got pregnant with a bastard and wanted to blame my ex-husband. His father was very angry when he found out, so he asked his brothers in the countryside to find a way to scare me and make me back down. Director Yuan, this has nothing to do with my ex-husband. You can scold me if you want. It was me who pushed his father into a corner. The old man was just talking nonsense and wouldn't really do anything to me. As for the family that reported me, they just had evil intentions and wanted to step on their brothers and nephews to get into the city. Director Yuan, think about it, my ex-husband's family has been supporting their family for so many years, but they are so ungrateful. Can you believe what such people say?"
Director Yuan looked at the crying Lu Yuan silently, waved his hand and asked her to go out.
Lu Yuan didn't understand what Director Yuan meant, so she just knelt on the ground and cried.
Finally, Xiao Wang came in, dragged her out, and advised: "Okay, Director Yuan will handle it. You should be quiet and don't disturb him from making a judgment."
Lu Yuan nodded silently with tears in her eyes.
It turned out that Director Yuan was not as easy to fool as she had imagined. After thinking for a moment, she asked Xiao Wang to take people to the factory to verify whether Lu Yuan had been in close contact with Director Zhang during this period.
Soon, Xiao Wang returned. He shook his head regretfully, "They all said that Lv Yuan just went to see the children frequently. I haven't heard of anything else."
Director Yuan didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang's father. This old man is quite smart. When Director Hu fell, he knew to urge his son to come out and report and take sides in time. Now he is entangled with his former daughter-in-law who has been in jail, and people in the factory are actually speaking for his son. Maybe he had arranged it in advance.
In this case, in the absence of conclusive evidence, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being. Both the father and son should be criticized and allowed to go back.
However, Director Yuan would not let them go just like that. That afternoon, Xiao Wang called away two employees from both the non-staple food factory and the grain management office.
Director Yuan instructed, "From today on, you will monitor their every move. If there's anything out of line, immediately mobilize the public and report it anonymously. Don't delay."

When Director Zhang returned home, he thought the storm was over and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Father Zhang looked at this useless thing, and the disappointment in his heart seemed to turn into a huge wave that drowned him.
But what could he do? This was his son after all, he couldn't sever the father-son relationship, could he?
Besides, he was counting on this kid to support him in his old age, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and eat first.
At the dinner table, Lv Yuan looked at her man timidly, retreating to advance: "I'd better leave. If someone has evil intentions and reports you again, I can't afford it."
"No, our dad has taken care of everything. It's his fault this time. You saved us, and I have to thank you." Director Zhang was indeed a fool. He actually put the blame on his father.
Father Zhang was so angry that he didn't even eat his meal. He slammed his chopsticks on the table with a cold snort and turned to go into the inner room.
Director Zhang ignored her and handed the chopsticks to Lu Yuan with a smile. "The old man wants to save face, so don't argue with him. Come on, eat quickly, don't let you and the baby in your belly starve."
Lu Yuan smiled sincerely. Look, how silly and easy to coax her man is.
This so-called "favor" is enough to support this man to continue doting on her for a long time, and her life in this family will be much better in the future.
After dinner, she was carrying her empty bowl and chopsticks, ready to wash the dishes, but Director Zhang stopped her and said, "Leave it there, let my mother wash it."
Lv Yuan insisted on washing, but Director Zhang took it away from her and dragged her back to the room: "You're pregnant, we don't want you to wash. Come and lie down and rest for a while. The baby misses you too."
Zhang's mother had a sullen look on her face as she carried her empty bowls and chopsticks to the sink. Aunt Liu, her neighbor, was there too. Seeing Zhang's unhappy face, she asked, "Hey, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Mother Zhang sighed silently: "Nothing."
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Do you want to serve your daughter-in-law? Hey, that's normal. After all, she's pregnant with your child."
Zhang's mother looked at Aunt Liu's smiling face and suddenly shuddered. She quickly denied it, "Who is talking nonsense? That child is not my son's. Don't talk nonsense."
Aunt Liu asked suspiciously, "Ah? It's not Director Zhang. Then why does Lv Yuan come here every day? Don't you have the child? Is she worried about you?"
Mother Zhang choked and could only roll her eyes, dip the bowl into the sink, turn around and leave.
What should they do? Lu Yuan comes here every day, and the neighbors will ask about it. If there is another quarrel, it will be bad for both father and son to lose their jobs.
It seems that her husband has a good idea. He still wants to create an accident to make Lu Yuan lose her child.
Now that her child is gone, she can't stay here anymore.
But... this so-called "favor" will probably make that bastard fall in love with this woman completely. Even if the child is lost, Lu Yuan can still hold on to that bastard tightly, continue to sleep with him, and continue to be pregnant.
She is still so young and has plenty of opportunities.
The more Zhang's mother thought about it, the more worried she became. She had no choice but to have a good talk with her son while Lu Yuan was sending the child to school.
"Son, what do you want? The neighbors are watching us. Aren't you afraid that Director Yuan will call for an investigation?"
Director Zhang was unconcerned: "What are you afraid of? Didn't he already ask Xiao Wang to find someone to verify it? Don't worry, my dad has taken care of it."
Zhang's mother still reminded her, "What if someone wants your position? No matter how much your father tries, it won't be as tempting as being a factory director."
"What's there to be afraid of? Lu Yuan has already told Director Yuan that the child is no longer mine. Director Yuan can't be eavesdropping under our bed, right?" Director Zhang still didn't care.
Zhang's mother was really dumbfounded. It was over. This child was really hard-hearted and could not be persuaded.
She could almost see the miserable situation of her family falling into poverty. She didn't want to live a hard life, so she could only go to Lu Yuan and cry and beg her to have mercy on her and not come home again.
"Why don't you wait until the storm is over before coming back? If you really cause your husband to lose his job, you won't have a good life either." Zhang's mother said this from the bottom of her heart, and she almost knelt down to Lu Yuan.
Lv Yuan thought about it and realized that this would only lead to failure. She proposed a few conditions: "Okay, in that case, you can help me find a house for me to live in, and you can come every day to take care of my daily life until I give birth, complete the confinement period, and until the child is one year old and weaned. Also, you must ensure that he brings the child over two or three times a week. Also, I must have good food, clothing, and other necessities. I am still your de facto daughter-in-law, and you are not allowed to arrange blind dates for him or introduce him to other women. Otherwise, I will go to Director Yuan and explain the truth, and neither of us will have an easy life!"
Mother Zhang stared at the crazy woman in a daze, with curse words on the tip of her tongue, but she was her grandson's mother after all, so she really couldn't say it. In the end, she had to endure the humiliation and nodded in agreement.
From that day on, Zhang's father and mother became Lu Yuan's slaves.
One is responsible for earning money and saving it for her to spend, and the other is responsible for ensuring that she has everything she wants.
He also had to fight like a guerrilla, avoiding the eyes of the people in the factory, and arrange for Director Zhang to come and have a private meeting with Lu Yuan. This life was really frustrating, but he could only endure it with hatred.

It rained in the evening and the temperature dropped sharply again. It was already late autumn.
The next morning, Yao Zhizhi put on a sweater and a woolen coat, and packed up with Qi Changxiao, preparing to go to the library to meet Gu Yanni.
Little Xingxing didn't know what his parents were going to do, so he ran over to look at them curiously: "Can't you take me and my sister with you?"
"No, can mom and dad bring you toys when they come back?" Yao Zhizhi squatted down with a smile, looking straight into the eyes of the curious little cat.
Little Star thought for a moment and said, "Okay, come back soon."
"It's a deal." Yao Zhizhi made a promise with the child, then got up and left.
