Huang Ling nodded happily and said, "I know Pengfei is filial, sometimes even better than Tu Nan!"
At this moment, Zhou Yuxiang approached Huang Ling and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Pengfei and I will always be filial to you and treat you like our own mother!"
Although Huang Ling felt a great sense of happiness, she immediately said, "You can't just be filial to me, there's also Pengfei's parents! I'm fine, I have Xiaoting and Tunan!"
Zhou Yuxiang said, "Pengfei's parents are both in good health. Our only concern is you, Auntie!"
Although Zhou Yuxiang's words sounded strange, Huang Ling didn't know what to say and could only smile.
Xiang Pengfei also found Zhou Yuxiang's words somewhat harsh, but Zhou Yuxiang was, after all, his girlfriend, so he didn't dare to lose his temper, fearing that Zhou Yuxiang wouldn't get a marriage certificate with him. So he just smiled and complimented her. However, he was quick-witted and had many ideas, so he said, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, have you eaten yet? Let me take you to have a meal together!"
Song Ying probably felt that the young couple was about to get their marriage certificate and were very much in love, so she felt particularly awkward going to dinner with them. She said, "We've already eaten, we've already eaten, you guys go ahead!"
"Can I have some more after I've already eaten?"
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm not eating anymore. You should hurry up and take your girlfriend! Aren't you supposed to get your marriage certificate this afternoon?"
"In that case, we'll be going now!"
"OK!"
Xiang Pengfei then said to Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm leaving now. I'll get my marriage certificate this afternoon and then let you see it!"
Huang Ling said with a smile, "Go ahead! Go ahead! Just be careful on the road!"
"Okay, Auntie, don't worry!"
Watching Xiang Pengfei leave the ward, Huang Ling said to Song Ying, "I bet you didn't eat breakfast. How could you lie to Pengfei like that?"
Song Ying smiled at Huang Ling and said, "If a couple wants to get their marriage certificate, what's the point of us going? We can't say anything, can we?"
Huang Ling then said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Chaoying, why don't you go have dinner with Song Ying and the others? Let Xiaoting accompany me!"
Zhuang Chaoying asked Xiaoting, "Xiaoting, have you eaten? Should I bring you some when I come back?"
"No need, Dad! I really did eat before coming. Zhang Min helped us go to the post office, so I had to make breakfast for her, right? That's why I ate early!"
"Oh, that's good. You stay here with your mom for a while, we're going to eat. I'll be back, then you can go with them!"
"Okay, Dad! Don't worry, I'll stay here and watch over Mom!"
Zhuang Chaoying then led Lin Wufeng and his wife to dinner.
Just as Zhuang Tunan and Zhang Min finished their work and were about to take a good rest, they saw Liu Jian helping Wu Shanshan walk towards the kindergarten from a distance. Once they arrived at the kindergarten, Wu Shanshan stopped and looked at Zhuang Tunan, then let go of Liu Jian's hand and walked towards Zhuang Tunan from the opposite side of the road.
Once she got close to Zhuang Tunan, she said, "Zhuang Tunan, don't think that just because my husband and I were arrested, your newsstand will be safe. It's a pity we were only in there for two hours before we got out. From today onwards, I won't care about anything else. I'll have someone smash up the security booth in a little while and build a small house. I'll name it Shanshan Bookstore!"
Zhang Min, who was watching from the sidelines and getting a little angry, said, "Hey sister, are you still so unrepentant? You've already been arrested by the police, and you're still yelling at them."
"None of your business, you brat, get out of here!"
"Tu Nan is my boyfriend now, so I'm in charge. If you bully him again, I'll never forgive you!"
"Fine! Just you wait and see. I'll open for business the day after tomorrow, and you'll be in for it!"
"Who knows who'll be the one who suffers then, humph!"
"Then let's wait and see how things unfold!"
After saying that, Wu Shanshan angrily returned to the kindergarten gate and said to Liu Jian, "Let's go home!"
At this moment, Liu Jian stood beside Wu Shanshan like a eunuch, bowing and scraping, saying, "Yes, yes, I'll do whatever my wife says!"
The two walked into the office hand in hand, and just as they were about to sit down and rest, the office phone suddenly rang.
Liu Jian hurried over, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello, who is it?"
"I am Li Chun'an, the Party Secretary of the factory. I am here to inform you that you have been expelled from the Party and no longer hold any position in the factory!"
"Secretary Li, my father, my father is the deputy factory director!"
"Alright! Don't mention your dad. Go visit him in jail! He went to Yanmei Club yesterday and got caught by the anti-prostitution police!"
"Ah! My dad?"
"Alright! I've made the notifications, that's all!"
The other end of the phone had already hung up, but Liu Jian was still holding the receiver to his ear, not putting it down.
Sitting on the sofa, Wu Shanshan, still angry that Liu Jian wouldn't put down the microphone, snapped, "That microphone isn't a woman's mouth, why are you so reluctant to put it down?"
Liu Jian then seemed to wake from a dream and said to Wu Shanshan, "Honey, something terrible has happened! Dad has been arrested by the police!"
Wu Shanshan couldn't sit still any longer and stood up to ask, "What happened?"
"Sigh, I got arrested in a prostitution raid last night!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shanshan became even angrier and said, "Like father, like son. He deserves it. Let his slutty nature run wild!"
Liu Jian stomped his feet in anger and said, "How dare you talk like that? That's my dad!"
"What's wrong with your dad? He's not a good person either. A few years ago, wasn't it him who exposed Uncle Lin Wufeng, which made it impossible for Uncle Wufeng to stay in the factory!"
Liu Jian shushed Wu Shanshan and said, "Alright! Stop babbling, are you afraid outsiders can't hear you?"
Just then, the phone rang again, startling Liu Jian. He stared at the phone in a daze, but dared not answer it!
Wu Shanshan patted Liu Jian and said, "What are you standing there for! Why don't you answer it!"
Liu Jian curled his lip and said, "I'm not answering! What if it's the police station calling and asking me to bring bedding to the old man? I'm not going, it'll be embarrassing!"
"If you won't answer, move aside and let me answer!"
Liu Jian then moved aside and sat down on the sofa.
Wu Shanshan picked up the phone and said irritably, "Who is it?"
Zhou Chengzhi's voice came through the microphone. He said, "I am Zhou Chengzhi!"
Wu Shanshan thought Zhou Chengzhi was anxious and had come to ask her for news, so she blushed instantly. But Liu Jian was still there, so she couldn't say anything else and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"I'm looking for Liu Jian!"
Looking for Liu Jian?
Wu Shanshan looked at Liu Jian sitting on the sofa, and Liu Jian hurriedly waved his hand at Wu Shanshan, meaning that he was not there!
Wu Shanshan knew exactly what he meant, and quickly said, "He's not here. If there's anything you need, just tell me!"
"I've already finished decorating the yard he told me about, and it's about to open for business. But today the factory committee is telling me the contract is invalid. What's going on?"
"That's right, brother. Liu Jian was just stripped of his position today, so what he said doesn't count anymore!"
"Ah! What, what's going on here? Oh right, isn't your father-in-law the deputy factory director? Have him step in and smooth things over for me!"
"There's no hope for them!"
"What's the matter?"
"I was arrested in a prostitution raid last night!"
"Ah! Like begets like, and like mouse's son knows how to dig holes. You two really are birds of a feather. The son is a scumbag and the father is a womanizer. I have to admire you!"
"There's nothing he can do about it. He has that gene; he can't control it!"
"What am I supposed to do? I gave him 100,000 yuan, and there's still 50,000 or 60,000 yuan left over from the renovations. Who am I supposed to ask for that money back?"
"I didn't spend a single penny of yours, of course I should ask him for it!"
"Okay, I'll go ask him for it. If I can't find him, I'll have to come to you!"
"What do you want from me? It wasn't me who took the money!"
"You two are husband and wife. If he ran away, of course I'll get him back for you. Or we can do it your way: 50,000 for one time. I'll sleep with you for six months!"
