"How about we go get a marriage certificate right now?"
Xiao Su blushed and gently punched his chest. "Why are you in such a hurry? By the way, Wang Gang's father came to my house yesterday with a lot of things, saying he was grateful that you didn't hold a grudge against me, and he said a lot of nice things."
“My dad and he have known each other for a long time, but they haven’t been in touch as much in recent years. However, they used to have a very good relationship. My dad was so angry that he wanted to throw the things out of him. Only then did Wang Gang’s father say that they were a gift for us as an apology, and then he ran away.”
“Now that the things have been put down, my dad can’t deliver them to their home anymore, or he’d be embarrassed.”
Xiao Su laughed and teased, "Section Chief Wang is really something else. He hit someone, and that person still had to come over and apologize!"
"You dare laugh at me?"
As he spoke, Wang Dabao reached into Xiao Su's waist and tickled her. "Just leave the stuff at your house. It's nothing more than some cigarettes, alcohol, and tea. If it weren't for Uncle Xiao's sake, his son would have been skinned alive in there before coming out."
Xiao Su pouted, "Oh, Deputy Director Wang is so imposing... Ouch, stop scratching me, I'm sorry, okay..."
At this moment, Xiao Su could no longer stand steadily and reached out to grab Wang Dabao's thigh, almost crawling into his crotch.
Seeing that Xiao Su was about to sit on the ground, Wang Dabao finally let go: "Miss Xiao, your posture is quite unique! Let me see what you're trying to do. Oh, I see, we'll try it next time."
"You...you're shameless."
Xiao Su blushed and pushed Wang Dabao away, saying, "What are you thinking about all day? Why are you always having such nonsense on your mind?"
"How can this be considered nonsense? Food and sex are basic human needs. Go back and ask your parents if they want to have a grandchild soon."
...... ......
After strolling around the staff quarters, Lu Yuan prepared to go back.
After returning to the Xiao family home and saying goodbye to Xiao Su's parents, Wang Dabao rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.
The Xiao family.
Xiao Su had just sat down on the sofa when she heard her mother talking with a smile.
“My dear daughter, Da Bao’s parents are gone. After you have your baby, Mom is going to retire and help you take care of the child.”
"puff!!!"
Xiao Su's eyes widened; it turned out that what Wang Dabao said was true!
Her mother is really looking forward to holding her grandson; she's even planned to retire and take care of the child.
"Mom, we're not married yet, how could we have a child?"
"Oh dear, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Mom is just preparing in advance so you can work with peace of mind."
Xiao's mother wrapped an orange and placed it in front of her daughter, saying, "It doesn't matter whether you have a daughter or a son. Look, you're our only child. We don't have any preference for sons over daughters in our family."
"However, if you can afford it, you should have more children. Da Bao is their only child. Their uncles and aunts passed away without leaving any children. If you marry into their family, you will have to take on this responsibility."
"The prosperity of a family depends on people, so it's better to have more children. It'll be more lively. It's okay to have more children; your dad and I can manage."
Under Xiao Su's horrified gaze, Xiao's mother continued talking on and on. Seeing that her mother was not going to stop, Xiao Su quickly ran back to her room.
When Wang Dabao returned to the courtyard, it was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and a lot of people had gathered in front of Yan Bugui's house.
Even Yi Zhonghai, who hasn't shown up in the last two days, is here.
However, Yi Zhonghai's mental state seems worrying.
Although his affair with Qin Huairu had been clarified within the compound, opinions outside the compound varied. The same was true within the factory; some believed it, some didn't, and some were only half-believing.
Because of this, Yi Zhonghai was called into the office by his superiors for a two-hour talk.
After learning that it was just a misunderstanding, the leaders decided to transfer Qin Huairu back when the workshop was less busy, but for the time being she would have to stay in the kitchen.
After this incident, Yi Zhonghai's reputation plummeted, but in the workshop, people only dared to grumble behind his back; no one would openly ridicule an eighth-grade worker for this.
Even so, Yi Zhonghai was under tremendous pressure, which made him much more low-key.
Two days ago, seeing that Yi Zhonghai's spirits had improved, Aunt Yi finally filed for divorce.
However, Yi Zhonghai had already sensed this and had prepared a countermeasure. Under the astonished gaze of Aunt Yi, Yi Zhonghai knelt down without hesitation.
Finally, she hugged Aunt Yi and cried her heart out, tears and snot streaming down her face. She kept saying that no one understood her, and that even her husband of several decades misunderstood her.
Aunt Yi expressed her thoughts, telling him frankly that he should remarry and have another child.
Yi Zhonghai clung to Aunt Yi's leg and cried out again, muttering that it didn't matter whether he had children or not, but he couldn't leave Aunt Yi.
In the end, Aunt Yi softened her heart.
The marriage didn't end in divorce.
After a few days, the rumors about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu have subsided considerably, thanks in large part to explanations from the residents and others in the compound.
However, when they explained it, I wonder if they even believed what they said themselves.
In short, for the sake of the compound's reputation, they had to grit their teeth and believe what was said at the general meeting.
Yi Zhonghai took out cigarettes and offered them to everyone. Even Liu Guangtian took a cigarette from the one Yi Zhonghai offered, which shows how high Yi Zhonghai's status was in the courtyard at this time.
"Brother Da Bao, let me know when you're getting married, I'll definitely come to your wedding." Yi Zhonghai said with a fawning smile.
Recently, Yi Zhonghai's face has been stiff from smiling. He smiles in the yard, in the factory, and even when he bumps into an acquaintance on the street. He doesn't even know what he's smiling about; he just smiles anyway.
Wang Dabao took the cigarette and lit it: "Don't worry, Lao Yi, I'll definitely let you and your wife know when the time comes."
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's mental state, Wang Dabao felt that he should be given a boost. There weren't many people in the hospital who could treat Sha Zhu. Liu Haizhong was still struggling, and Yi Zhonghai, this helpful person, couldn't be allowed to fall.
After the vegetable cellar incident, Sha Zhu must hate Yi Zhonghai to the core, and there's no way he could believe that Yi Zhonghai had never had any feelings for Qin Huairu.
If Yi Zhonghai continues like this, he might still be bullied by Sha Zhu.
"Old Yi, haven't you been giving any lectures lately?"
Yi Zhonghai's mind went blank for a moment. "That's right! He can start teaching again and rebuild his reputation!"
He didn't show his true skills in those previous lessons. How could someone who even hides his skills from his apprentices teach unrelated people his real skills?
However, these are extraordinary times. Yi Zhonghai lowered his eyes, his mind racing. It was time to bring out something real.
The lectures I gave before covered things that everyone already knew, but were difficult to understand. I just had him explain them in a different way.
If he were to take one or two of his real skills, break them down, and present them as four or five different skills, what a sensation that would cause!
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's gaze towards Wang Dabao changed.
What a benefactor! It turns out Wang Dabao is a benefactor sent by heaven to help me!
