A bitter smile appeared on Guo Zhixia's lips. How could she not know these things?
But the siblings were very close. Ever since she found out that Qiao Jianguo had been having affairs and had a child with another woman, she had advised Director Jia to tell Jia Hua that either they should suffer in silence or get rid of that woman by any means necessary.
Either get a divorce and leave the Qiao family cleanly.
But Jia Hua was stubborn and insisted on getting involved with Qiao Jianguo. Not only that, she also insisted on finding that wild woman and teaching her a lesson.
That's not all; they didn't even bother to avoid the neighbors, causing a ruckus not only in their own home but also dragging Director Jia's house along.
They insisted that Director Jia step in and teach Qiao Jianguo a lesson, eventually dismissing him from the factory and leaving the Qiao family to rely solely on Jia Hua from then on.
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhixia was so angry she nearly fainted. Wasn't this just wishful thinking?
The matter involves two factories. Director Jia isn't the political commissar of Changping City; how could he control personnel changes in the factories? He could just kick them out whenever he wanted.
However, she didn't tell Jia Xiaoyue these troubling thoughts. "Alright, you shouldn't come to Mom's place as often lately. Just pretend you didn't hear about your aunt's matter, and that you don't know anything about it."
"If anything happens... your dad and I will be there to protect you."
After the mother and daughter finished talking, they saw the daughter off and sat there until night fell into the room. When Director Jia returned home, the room was pitch black, and he couldn't help but frown.
"What's this for?"
By the moonlight, Director Jia could see Guo Zhixia's expressionless face clearly. He realized something, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Just as he was about to approach the house, Guo Zhixia suddenly called out to him.
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"no!"
Guo Zhixia's tone was harsher than ever before when facing Factory Director Jia: "You care about your sister, but I care about my daughter too."
"What kind of talk is that? Isn't Xiaoyue my daughter? How could I not feel sorry for her?"
"Ha... Feeling sorry for them? I bet you've already abandoned us, mother and son, hundreds of meters away now that you have your sister."
"If you don't have anything else, I'll go back inside now."
"I want you to transfer Xiaoyue's household registration out of the Jia family's household registration." Guo Zhixia stood up and stared at Director Jia's back.
Silence filled the room. After a long while, Director Jia said, "I moved Xiaoyue's household registration out a long time ago."
Guo Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "What about your sister? What are you going to do about her?"
He gets a headache whenever Jia Hua is mentioned.
Guo Zhixia won't even let Jia Hua into the house now, and unexpectedly, she went to the textile factory.
Before long, rumors started circulating in the factory that he was having affairs and had an illegitimate child.
He was so angry that his hair turned quite a bit white these past few days.
"What can I do? Her man is cheating on her with other women, and now that woman is even moving into her house. I...I..."
"What? You want to stand up for your sister and beat that woman up and kick her out?"
Even if Director Jia felt sorry for his sister, he would never do such a thing.
I feel a little sorry for Jia Hua, and I also feel like beating Qiao Jianguo up.
Before she could say anything more, Director Jia closed the door and refused to communicate.
Guo Zhixia sat on a stool in the living room, wiping away tears as she took out a piece of paper and began to write a letter to Old Lady Wu in a crooked and shaky hand.
Jia Hua didn't cause a scene for long before Qiao Jianguo was dismissed from the factory, and she was dismissed as well.
When Qiao Daya realized something was wrong, she ran away.
At the same time, Director Jia was reported for improper lifestyle and abuse of power, and was directly removed from his position as director.
Further investigation is needed regarding the follow-up processing results.
New Year’s Eve.
The Jia and Qiao families stood coldly apart, exchanging no words, their faces expressionless and their eyes indifferent.
Meanwhile, in Xishang Town, Shanyao Village.
Grandma Wu got up early in the morning to start preparing with her two daughters-in-law.
Thanks to Grandma Wu, the family has no shortage of various seasonings and meats.
All kinds of braised dishes and braised meats are prepared.
The rendered pork cracklings were chopped into small pieces and mixed into the minced pork.
As soon as Huang Xiaomin entered the room, an enticing aroma wafted into his nose.
"Mom, you made so much delicious food?"
My eyes barely glanced at the long cutting board before my mouth almost watered.
"Don't you have eyes?"
Although she was scolded by Old Lady Wu, she was still very happy.
It's better to stay with Grandma Wu. Look at the kind of life they live in Changping City, following Huang Mancang.
I went hungry for three days and ate nine meals.
Li Jin'e gave him a reproachful look.
As the family members gradually got up, Gu Qing, who didn't know how to cook, squatted in front of the stove to tend the fire.
The aroma of delicious food emerging from Grandma Wu's hands helped lift her spirits considerably, even alleviating her recent low mood.
"Alright, get out of the way. Standing here like this, you can't even turn your bodies around."
"If there's nothing else, clean the house and the front and back yards again, and wipe them down."
Huang Xiaomin lowered his shoulders. "Mom, we just finished cleaning yesterday."
"Then go wash all the clothes and wash all the bed sheets that were taken off."
The four brothers exchanged glances, feeling helpless.
Some carried clothes, others fetched water; the division of labor was very clear.
Huang Xiaofu resigned himself to his fate and moved out a small stool to wash clothes, when he suddenly stopped, and Xiaoshun, whom he hadn't heard from in a long time, suddenly returned.
"What about Dad? He deals with manure piles every day, does he wash himself?"
Huang Xiaoqiang immediately stood up and said, "I'll go get his clothes."
After saying that, he turned and left towards the cowshed.
As dawn broke, the village was already filled with the sounds of firecrackers exploding one after another, and as you approached the cowshed, you could almost smell the faint scent of gunpowder.
"dad?"
Huang Xiaoqiang glanced at the figure with its butt sticking out, called out uncertainly, and only when the person straightened up did he see that Huang Mancang's face was covered in black grime.
"What are you doing?"
Huang Mancang raised his wrist to wipe his face, but unexpectedly made it even messier.
"I'm setting up the stove so it will be convenient to heat water and cook simple things in the future."
She stepped aside and excitedly showed him the things she had collected.
Huang Xiaoqiang approached and looked at the things scattered all over the ground: bowls and chopsticks, teapots, small earthenware pots, and even a small iron pot.
Staring wide-eyed at the proud-looking Huang Mancang, he asked, "Where did you get all of this?"
"It was given to me by Brother Meng!"
Hearing this made him proud, and Huang Xiaoqiang's lips twitched. He had heard Huang Xiaofu mention this guy surnamed Meng, who loved to drink, and the manure in the backyard was obtained by trading alcohol.
Coincidentally, the two of them were kindred spirits.
Huang Mancang also enjoys drinking, but compared to before, gambling is still more attractive to him.
Since the last time, they have been sending wine to Huang Mancang every few days, and there is still bulk wine for sale in the village.
Unexpectedly, this act of delivering wine revealed his relationship with the man surnamed Meng.
"What are you doing here?"
Huang Xiaoqiang glanced at his clothes, which were almost worn out, and said, "Second Brother and the others need to do laundry, so they asked you to change out and wash them too."
Huang Mancang nodded, "Okay, okay, let me change my clothes."
