Holding his wife and looking at his son and daughter, Wei Hua was filled with happiness. After his two children fell asleep, Wei Hua and Yang Tao started chatting.
Even after living in this world for so many years, they still miss the world of later generations. After all, there are so many more forms of entertainment in later generations, while this era is particularly oppressive.
This situation made the couple afraid to experience any joy, and they had to be extremely careful in everything they did. Now that the children were asleep, they finally didn't need to hide anything anymore. They could completely open up to each other and talk about their inner unhappiness.
And so time slowly passed to 1965. Hearing that others had started setting off firecrackers, Wei Hua quickly got up and joined them in welcoming the new year.
After setting off the firecrackers, Wei Hua went back to bed. Lying in bed, Wei Hua couldn't fall asleep, because the winds would pick up again in a year.
Having been married to Wei Hua for so many years, Yang Tao knows her husband very well.
"Don't worry too much. With our family background, as long as you don't do anything reckless, there won't be a big problem. At worst, we'll just keep a low profile and not seek the limelight for the next year."
Don't take the people from the courtyard hunting anymore. Even if you do go, the catch should be smaller, because jealousy is the original sin. As long as you don't do these things and find a way to farm rewards a few more times, you'll definitely be able to get through these ten years safely.
"If all else fails, we can hide in the space and take the opportunity to leave this place of trouble. It won't be too late to come back in ten years or more."
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, Wei Hua couldn't help but pat her head.
"Things haven't come to that point yet. I'm just reflecting on the past ten years. Without these ten years, China might have developed even better. It's just a pity that my power is too weak to do anything. All I can do is keep strengthening myself."
"Okay, stop thinking about it so much. Thinking too much won't do us any good. We're just ordinary people, let's just live our own lives."
Hearing Yang Tao say that, Wei Hua could only quickly hug his wife and go to sleep. They slept until six or seven in the morning. If the child hadn't already woken up, Wei Hua and Yang Tao might have slept a little longer.
Yiran woke up, and Weihua and Yangtao could only quickly dress their child. After dressing, they started preparing breakfast.
Since neither side had any relatives, the Wei family didn't need to visit anyone for the New Year. It seemed that only a few families in the courtyard had relatives; only Sha Zhu went to pay his respects to He Daqing. Sha Zhu and his family had lunch at He Daqing's place and then returned home; children love their friends most.
Sha Zhu's two children came to find Wei Junhao as soon as they got back. There were only two, mainly because the younger one was still too small. Like Wei Hua's daughter, he couldn't play freely yet.
But a moment later, Yu Haitang came running in from outside, crying.
"Sister, I'll stay at your place for a few days, and then I'll leave."
Without giving her sister and brother-in-law a chance to refuse, she pushed open the door to He Yushui's room and ran inside.
Seeing Yu Haitang crying, Sha Zhu and Yu Li had no other choice. They were also aware of Yu Haitang's situation.
Because they understood this, they couldn't say anything, since no one else was to blame. It was all Yu Haitang's own fault. If Yu Haitang hadn't been so arrogant, how could things have turned out this way?
"Why don't you go and try to persuade her? No matter what, she's still your sister."
"How can I persuade her? Do you think my parents didn't try? But what's the use of just persuading? Now that it's already happened, there's no point in just persuading. Now I just hope that Guangtian still has some old feelings for her and will still pay attention to her. Otherwise, given her condition, her life is ruined."
Even Yu Li herself was somewhat insecure. Her younger sister's reputation was now ruined, and she had even lost her job. If she were pregnant, Liu Guangtian might have been able to accept it, but since the child was gone, the chances of him accepting it were slim. If he were going to accept it, he would have done so long ago, instead of dragging things out for so long without a resolution.
Judging from her sister's appearance, she must have gone to Liu Guangtian again. She must have been rejected by Liu Guangtian again, which is why she came to her house crying.
Regardless of the circumstances, the person in front of her was still her younger sister. Even knowing it was useless, Yu Li could only walk towards He Yushui's former room.
"All you do is cry. What's the use? If crying could solve anything, it would have been resolved long ago. Haven't I tried to advise you before? And what did you say then?"
“We’ve always told you to be down-to-earth and not to think about unrealistic things. You’ve given up a good family to keep climbing the ladder. Don’t you know whether you’re cut out for it or not?”
"Guangtian is still young, and he's already a level three fitter. What more could you want? The two of you earn nearly 90 yuan a month combined. Isn't that enough for you?"
"There aren't many 23-year-olds who can become level three fitters in a steel rolling mill. If he had worked hard for a few more years, his salary would have kept increasing. Now look what's happened, you've completely fallen out, who would want to hire you now?"
"You said you'd get a divorce, and that was fine. You could have had a good job, but who knew you'd get involved with Li Huaide and even lose your job? Do you even know what people are saying about you now?"
Hearing her sister's words, Yu Haitang cried even harder. All she wanted was to climb the ladder of success; was that wrong? Why did everyone else have such smooth sailing, while she had ended up like this?
Although she wanted to argue with her sister, Yu Haitang didn't know where to begin. Right now, Yu Haitang just wanted to live her life peacefully; she didn't even dare to think about climbing the social ladder anymore.
"Sister, please stop talking. I've learned my lesson. All I want now is to live a good life with Guangtian and stop thinking about all that nonsense. Aren't you two getting along well? Could you talk to him for me? I really can't live without Guangtian."
Hearing Yu Haitang's words, Yu Li didn't know what to say. There was simply no way to persuade someone in this situation. No one could accept something like this happening to them; if it weren't for Li Huaide's affair, there might have been some chance.
But everyone already knew about her sister's affair with Li Huaide. Even Sun Jing's affair was common knowledge.
How many men can accept their wives divorcing them because of him, then getting involved with other men, only to come back to them when those other men get into trouble?
Although the term "sucker" doesn't exist now, everyone understands what it means. No one would take over someone else's burden unless they are like Xu Damao, who has no choice but to divorce.
Seeing that her sister remained unmoved, Yu Haitang knelt down directly in front of Yu Li.
"Sister, can't you help me? Do you only feel happy when you see me suffering?"
"How am I supposed to persuade you? Didn't your brother-in-law and I try to persuade you enough? We've tried to persuade your parents and you too. What did you say to me back then? You kept saying that you were in charge of your own affairs and that no matter what happened, we didn't need to interfere because you were an adult and could make your own decisions."
“If you had just gotten a divorce, that would have been fine, but after the divorce you got together with Li Huaide. You even used that relationship to become a cadre in the steel rolling mill. Everyone says you got there by selling your body.”
“Look at your reputation now. Don’t you know it? Your parents are afraid to go out because of what happened to you, for fear of being pointed at and gossiped about.”
“You have nothing right now, how can you expect Liu Guangtian to accept you? Your brother-in-law and Liu Guangtian have a decent relationship. How can we act as your intermediaries?”
"If you want Liu Guangtian to forgive you, you'd better figure it out yourself! There's nothing we can do for you, after all, we've already said what we needed to say back then."
Hearing her sister's words, Yu Haitang collapsed to the ground. At that moment, Yu Haitang deeply regretted her decision. If she had known Li Huaide would fall so quickly, she shouldn't have gotten involved with him.
As a result, she didn't even get the position of deputy head of the publicity department before being fired. Thinking about the rumors circulating outside, Yu Haitang was too ashamed to sit on the floor. After Yu Li left, she hid under the covers.
Aside from coming out briefly for meals, Yu Haitang rarely shows herself in the courtyard, as almost everyone in the courtyard knows her.
Sun Jing was in a similar situation to Yu Haitang. However, Sun Jing was not as fortunate as Yu Haitang, because she still had to work and was pregnant with Li Huaide's child.
