Old Mrs. Xia was a light sleeper. When she heard faint sounds of quarreling outside, she quietly walked out to see what was going on. As a result, she saw this scene. The quarrel between the two of them just now was really interesting, just like that of children.
Jiang Wenhua quickly stepped out of the narrow path, and from his back he looked really angry.
Fang Yingdi was wearing her clothes and staring blankly at the river, then she felt someone brushing her hair.
She turned around and looked carefully before she realized it was Old Lady Xia. "Comrade Xia, why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
Old Lady Xia: "If I fall asleep, you'll have nowhere to go. Come on, come back with me. I'll boil some hot water for you to take a bath. You can sleep in my room tonight, and I'll sleep with my sister. If you go back like this now, you'll get sick tomorrow."
Hearing this, Fang Yingdi wanted to cry. She didn't want to cry when she wanted to die just now, nor did she want to cry when she was bickering with Jiang Wenhua. But at this most vulnerable moment, hearing someone say such gentle words to her, and these words came from Old Lady Xia, Fang Yingdi felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She wanted to hug Old Lady Xia, but she felt wet and was afraid of getting her clothes wet, so she had to hold Old Lady Xia's hand tightly and said, "Thank you."
Old Lady Xia sighed and patted her head. "It's okay. Sad things will soon pass. We will live well on our own from now on."
Fang Yingdi stood up, wiped away her tears with her hands, and nodded heavily: "Well, live well, I will definitely live a decent life."
The two of them walked out of the narrow path one after the other. As soon as they walked out, they saw Jiang Wenhua walking towards them angrily with a towel in his hand. The three of them ran into each other like this.
Seeing that Old Lady Xia was also there, Jiang Wenhua suddenly felt a little embarrassed for some reason and hid the towel in his hand behind his back, "Um..."
Old Lady Xia teased him, "You were just cursing at a lesbian, and now you're eagerly handing me a towel?"
Jiang Wenhua was furious and asked, "Old Xia, why are you running around so late at night?"
Old Lady Xia: "If I hadn't been running around, would I have seen you guys arguing so well? And you even said you were so shameless you'd freeze to death? Hey~ You're just worried about people and handing them towels. This towel looks new, right?"
Jiang Wenhua: "No, I don't have any. It's old. It's old."
Old Lady Xia: "Okay, okay."
Fang Yingdi pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. She knew Jiang Wenhua had good intentions. Even though his words had been harsh, he still cared about her. He was probably afraid she would jump into the river again, so he walked over quickly.
She felt a little ashamed as she had just had an argument with someone.
"Thank you, Comrade Jiang, but it's not necessary. I'll go sleep at Comrade Xia's place tonight and just take a shower later. I won't use your towel." Fang Yingdi thanked him sincerely.
Jiang Wenhua felt even more uncomfortable. "Humph, I didn't want to give it to you yet. I was going to ask you to pay for it anyway."
After saying that, he turned around and went home.
Old Lady Xia whispered to Fang Yingdi behind her back, "He must be saying one thing and thinking another."
Jiang Wenhua turned around angrily: "Lao Xia, I heard it, you are not allowed to say bad things about me."
After saying that, his pace quickened.
Fang Yingdi smiled and followed Old Lady Xia back.
Xia Yu'e heard the noise and saw Fang Yingdi's miserable state. She didn't dare ask why, but helped boil water. She even made ginger and brown sugar water, fearing that the healthy girl would catch a cold and it would be bad for her health. Fang Yingdi looked frail, and if she developed a serious illness, it would be very serious.
Fang Yingdi felt a little swelled in her heart. She felt that Jiang Wenhua was right and that it was still good to be alive.
The next day, when Qiao Yi woke up, she found that Fang Yingdi was missing. She was so anxious that she asked everyone to help find her.
When the factory was in chaos, Old Lady Xia, Fang Yingdi and Jiang Wenhua with a sour face appeared together.
Qiao Yi trotted over and saw her flushed face. She scolded her, "Xiao Fang, you ran away in the middle of the night without telling me. I was scared to death. Why didn't you call me when you went to see my master? I could have gone with you. It's so dangerous for a woman to go out alone in the middle of the night."
Fang Yingdi felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to tell her that she was upset last night, but she didn't want to scare her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Yes, I'm just a little sad. I want to hear Comrade Xia's advice. I don't have any elders, so I really don't know who to ask."
Qiao Yi believed it: "Then you must call me next time when you go late at night. It's always safer to go together than alone."
"Yeah, thank you, Qiao Yi." Fang Yingdi held her hand and felt warm in her heart. Qiao Yi was as kind as the little sun. How could there be such a good girl?
Jiang Wenhuazi snorted and turned away. Lesbians just love to say some sour words, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Halfway through the journey, Jiang Wenhua's heart was pounding. He was angry. He had saved her, but why did he only get a thank you? He felt so wronged, so wronged!
When Old Lady Xia arrived at the workshop, several young workers were chattering. When they saw her coming, they immediately surrounded her and asked about what happened to Comrade Xiao Fang yesterday.
But Old Mrs. Xia kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.
The young comrades wouldn't let her go and kept pestering her. Old Mrs. Xia had no choice but to ask, "Why do you think these parents tend to favor sons over daughters?"
"To carry on the family line."
"Boys are so lucky. They get a lot of things right from birth without having to do anything."
"No matter how hard we try, we can never compare to them, in terms of status or love."
"I wish I were a man. Women are really at a disadvantage."
