Although Zhao Guohui is not superstitious, he thinks that the loss of the child may be a sign of something.
Zhao Guohui had already resigned from his position as director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and it was likely that his deputy, Li Wenhua, would take over. Li Wenhua was ten years older than Zhao Guohui and was considered a veteran employee of the Sanhe Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The relationship between Li Wenhua and Zhao Guohui is somewhat delicate. If Zhao Guohui hadn't performed so well, Zhao Qingshan might have given the director position to Li Wenhua. Therefore, after Li Wenhua took over, he might have given Zhao Guohui a hard time.
Zhao Guohui had thought it over before he resigned. After becoming the director, he would no longer stay in the Sanhe Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Otherwise, it would be like before, with Zhao Guohui doing everything and Li Wenhua getting all the credit. What would that mean?
Zhao Guohui wanted to take this opportunity to venture out and try his luck. While the iron rice bowl of the supply and marketing cooperative was comfortable, it had also worn away Zhao Guohui's ambition. He wanted to see the world while he was still young. If Xu Liqin was willing to leave her hometown for him, then he and Xu Liqin could start a new life.
Zhao Guohui knew that Xu Liqin's nature was not bad, she was just too filial and took herself too seriously. In Xu Liqin's eyes, she was the pillar of the Xu family. Without her, the Xu Laolai couple didn't know whether they would starve to death.
Seeing Zhao Guohui, Mother Xu smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Guohui is here? I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. You two can have a good chat."
Zhao Guohui nodded and said nothing.
Most importantly, Zhao Guohui felt like there was nothing more to say. Asking why Xu's mother hadn't taken good care of Xu Liqin? Asking how Xu Liqin's child had died? It seemed like neither of these things was appropriate at this moment.
After Xu's mother left, Zhao Guohui moved a stool and sat in front of Xu Liqin's bed, saying, "Liqin, I think we should have a good talk. I was impulsive when I didn't let you into the house that day." Zhao Guohui thought about his anger a few days ago and felt that it was indeed a bit excessive. Xu Liqin was thinking about Xu Erwang from her perspective. It was enough for him not to refuse. Sending the pregnant Xu Liqin back to her parents' home made him look petty.
Xu Liqin was surprised when she heard Zhao Guohui say this. They had been married for two years and Zhao Guohui had treated her very well. If Zhao Guohui was willing to accept her again, Xu Liqin would definitely be happy.
"Liqin, you know about my resignation, right?" Zhao Guohui saw Xu Liqin's expression and realized that he still had a place in her heart. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. To be honest, after two years of loving marriage, Zhao Guohui didn't want to end up in a miserable way.
"What?" Xu Liqin's face changed. Zhao Guohui resigned? Why did he resign when he was doing well? Was it because of Erwang's matter? In the past few days, the people in the supply and marketing cooperative looked at Xu Liqin strangely, especially Li Wenhua, who often ran to the non-staple food counter in charge of Xu Liqin. Xu Liqin was full of things on her mind, and she felt tired because of her pregnancy, so she didn't think much about it.
Zhao Guohui frowned. Xu Liqin's reaction surprised him. Shouldn't Xu Liqin have said, "It's okay, whatever you want to do is fine. I believe you will succeed no matter what you do"?
"Guohui, why did you resign? That's the position of director! After you resign, won't you feel suffocated working under the new director?" Xu Liqin knew that Zhao Guohui was a strong person. The supply and marketing cooperative had developed better under Zhao Guohui's leadership for three years than when Zhao Qingshan was the director.
In Sanhe Town, who wouldn't envy Xu Liqin for marrying a good man? Now, Zhao Guohui actually resigned from his position as director to become a small employee. How could this be possible?
"Liqin, after I resign, I don't plan to work in the supply and marketing cooperative anymore. I want to try my luck out there." Zhao Guohui looked at Xu Liqin seriously and said.
"Then...what should I do?" Xu Liqin murmured.
Go out and try your luck? How could it be so easy to break into the outside world? The couple had a stable job at the supply and marketing cooperative, with a guaranteed income, medical expenses reimbursed by the company, and a house allocated by the company when Zhao Qingshan was director. Isn't this a good life?
The most important thing is that in two years, with the work qualifications of Xu Liqin and Zhao Guohui, they can also be allocated houses. At that time, the Xu family can live in their houses. Wouldn’t all problems be solved?
But now, Zhao Guohui said he resigned? He resigned from his position as director of the supply and marketing cooperative without even telling me? He was the director!
"Liqin, come with me! Even if I, Zhao Guohui, only have one bowl of rice in my hand, I will make sure you eat your fill first." Zhao Guohui said, staring at Xu Liqin with hope. Although Zhao Guohui is a bit chauvinistic, he will not let his woman suffer while he enjoys the best of things. This is also the reason why Zhao Guohui can't stand Xu Laolai the most.
"Go outside? What about my parents?" Xu Liqin was stunned. She had never thought about leaving the hometown where she was born and raised, and she had never thought about being away from Xu Laolai and his wife. Although Xu Laolai was not good to her, she was their daughter! In a few years, when her parents were old, wouldn't it be their children who had to serve them by their side?
Zhao Guohui was also stunned. In Zhao Guohui's future plans, there was no mention of Xu Laolai's family. Xu Laolai had a pension, and Xu's mother also had a salary. As long as Xu Laolai didn't gamble, their family could still get by.
Zhao Guohui knew Xu Liqin was a kind woman who couldn't bear to see her mother suffer. After Xu Laolai lost all his money, Xu Liqin would secretly go to her mother's house to take things. Over the years, Xu Laolai's gambling became more and more serious. Wasn't it because of Xu Liqin's subconscious indulgence?
If it wasn't to get away from Xu Laolai, why did Zhao Guohui leave Sanhe Town? Zhao Guohui grew up in Sanhe Town and has many friends here. It can be said that in Sanhe Town, Zhao Guohui has already established his network of relationships. When you arrive in a new place, everything has to start from scratch!
"Liqin, can't you be a little selfish? For me, put your parents aside for a while." Zhao Guohui said this with a conflicted heart. On the one hand, he didn't want Xu Liqin to be a selfish person, but on the other hand, Zhao Guohui hoped that Xu Liqin could be selfish for him once.
"Guohui, I don't want to leave. My home is here, my home is in Sanhe Town. I have a stable job and a fixed income every month..." Xu Liqin couldn't go on. The more she spoke, the more she felt that she had too many things now, so many that she didn't want to change anything.
