Chapter 158 Along the Way



large courtyard

With several people missing from the house, Tian Guihua and the others felt uneasy for several days.

Hua Zhian stayed home and behaved himself for two days, then went running around outside again.

Anyway, the brigade he was assigned to had already sent a letter, so he used the excuse of having something to do at home and got a certificate from the street office to ask for half a month's leave.

However, Hua Baoguo and the others had been gone for so many days without calling Zhi'an to come and complete the formalities, which made Tian Guihua a little anxious.

"What's going on with Baoguo and the others? Such a small matter, and they haven't made a move for so many days."

Hua Guangzong had a guess in his mind, and sighed, "If all else fails, we'll transfer your job to Zhi'an first."

Tian Guihua immediately knew the reason, "Xun Liangfen dares to secretly comply while openly disobeying."

In fact, they all knew that Xun Liangfen was stalling for time, waiting for them to compromise.

"I knew it. We haven't even confirmed that her head injury is okay yet, and she's already in a hurry to run back. Does she think that because the two places are far apart, we can't do anything to her?"

Tian Guihua now dislikes Xun Liangfen more and more, even playing such tricks on her own son.

If Zhian and his family hadn't taken a two-week leave in advance, and things had dragged on like this, they wouldn't have been able to go back in time. They would have received a major demerit, ruining their future.

Tian Guihua didn't believe she didn't know these things; she was just betting that this old woman wasn't as ruthless as her.

Now that there was no way out, Tian Guihua's face also turned grim. "I was thinking of saving it for Xiao Guai, so that it would be closer to us and we could take better care of it."

Hua Guangzong said, "It's alright. After Xiao Guai graduates next year, I'll keep an eye on Bao Guo and make him give up his job. I can't control my daughter-in-law, but can't I touch my son?"

Hua Baoguo has a high professional title, so we can try to transfer him to a different position so that Xiangyun can stay in the office.

As for Xun Liangfen, since she's so willing to drive cars, let her keep driving until she retires!

“I still can’t swallow this,” Tian Guihua said, pacing back and forth in the yard. “I won’t help her cover it up. I have to tell her two sons everything she did. Whether the children will be willing to confide in her again depends on her luck.”

Hua Guangzong did not object, and said in a low voice, "She has been led astray by that woman Xingshun. It was not obvious before, but now that her interests are involved, it has all been exposed."

Tian Guihua said, "I only realized it now. I saw it a long time ago, but you've been favoring him all along."

Fortunately, Zhiping's wife was chosen by us, so we can't let her decide who Zhian and Xiangyun will be with. She ruined our child.

“It doesn’t have to be that bad,” Hua Guangzong said, wanting to mediate, but then he changed his mind when he thought of Xun Liangfen’s actions. “We’ll keep an eye on things from behind. If it’s not suitable, the children will definitely listen to us.”

Tian Guihua had this confidence; she had raised all three children single-handedly. Even if Xun Liangfen was their biological mother, she couldn't compare to her as their grandmother.

I wonder if Xun Liangfen and her husband will regret not building a relationship before their child becomes independent; it will be even more difficult later.

“These days, some people have been bringing up Zhian’s marriage with me. Since we’re not planning to send him to the countryside anyway, do you think we should start making preparations?”

Hua Guangzong wasn't so optimistic. "What are their conditions? Do they have jobs?"

Many young people nowadays want to take shortcuts to avoid going to the countryside.

But nowadays, everyone has their own job, and if someone chooses to get married at this time, they're almost certainly unemployed. Such a granddaughter-in-law bringing endless trouble into the family is a sure sign of trouble.

It's not that the two old folks are picky; if they wanted help arranging jobs for them, even temporary ones, they simply couldn't do it.

The only possibility is that she would give up her job with her elders. Xun Liangfen wouldn't even do that with her own son, let alone her daughter-in-law.

Moreover, they already have a granddaughter, and adding another person would definitely create more family conflicts.

Tian Guihua shook her head, "They all don't want their children to go to the countryside. They want them to find someone to marry first, and then slowly work on things later."

As for the future, it will definitely be the husband's family who will take care of things, and everyone knows perfectly well where the work will come from.

"Let's wait and see. If Zhi'an is in a hurry, let him go out and support his family on his own."

His older brother didn't cause us any trouble, and we treat him the same way.

Hua Guangzong's point was that before making proper arrangements for his granddaughter, marrying such a granddaughter-in-law would only bring unrest to the family.

As a couple who had been married for a lifetime, Tian Guihua naturally guessed what was going on: "I'm just afraid these people will start with Zhi'an."

"I'll talk to him when he gets back." Hua Guangzong felt that some things needed to be said upfront, as it wasn't their place to make decisions about family matters.

Tian Guihua said, "It's time to have a serious talk with him. He's always running around these days. He might fall into someone else's trap."

Such examples have happened before. If you are not prepared and get tricked, it will be too late to regret it.

Hua Zhian, who was still out having fun, never expected that his good brother would bring people with him today.

"Chen Lei, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree to go to Tianhe Village to see He Chunguang together? Why did you bring someone else?"

They brought the items, and He Chunguang would treat them to a meal, but wouldn't it be too much to bring more people?

And he wasn't the only one; he brought two siblings with him.

What's wrong with that woman? She looked at me shyly and timidly. What did I do to her?

He wasn't stupid; when they went to the countryside, the village girls all looked at them the same way.

Besides, this was their first meeting, and the man immediately looked him up and down as if assessing his worth, which made him particularly displeased.

Chen Lei laughed dismissively, "This is my cousin Li Guoqiang, and that's my cousin Li Ziyu. They just happened to be visiting relatives in Tianhe Village, so they were just passing by."

Hua Zhian didn't believe that someone who was just passing by would look at another person like that upon first meeting them.

However, since Chen Lei has already said so, it would seem petty for him to argue further.

For the rest of the journey, Hua Zhian kept his head down and hurried on.

The other person tried to chat him up several times, but he managed to evade the questions each time.

Chen Lei tried to smooth things over, but this made Hua Zhian a little angry. Why did you have to keep circling around him when you were just having a chat?

Chen Lei was also quite reckless, almost revealing his own secrets.

He decided that after this trip, he would never travel with him again.

His cousin turned his gaze on him again, and Hua Zhian could no longer help but glare back, asking bluntly, "Comrade, are you looking me up and down and saying there's something wrong with me?"

Li Guoqiang said, "I heard you were a sent-down youth for two years, but you're not very strong. I'm a little curious."

Hua Zhian said, "What's there to be curious about? Don't you have any educated youth in your family? That shouldn't be the case."

Even if there are only two siblings in their family, the neighborhood committee will not allow them to send no one from their family to the countryside.
