Chapter 279 Preparing to Resign



"What are you doing?" Lu Guoan shouted.

When Lu Yuan and several brigade cadres arrived, the rabbit farm was already crowded with people and bustling with noise.

When everyone saw that they had all arrived, they quickly stepped back a few paces to make way for them.

At the entrance of the breeding farm, He Shenghua sat and knelt anxiously with red eyes, holding Hong Xia, who looked pained. Next to him were several staff members of the breeding farm and several villagers, who were holding Lin Xiaofang and two other male educated youths from the same batch as her, as well as a local scoundrel.

"Ah Yuan, Captain, you've arrived! This is terrible! This educated youth Lin actually brought people to cause trouble and even deliberately pushed Deputy Director Hong over. Deputy Director Hong is now having a miscarriage."

As soon as Aunt Trumpet Flower saw them, she was the first to speak up and help them complain.

"I didn't push her. She pushed us and we fell by accident. It's no one else's fault," Lin Xiaofang argued.

Lu Yuan looked at this big-breasted, brainless woman and frowned slightly. Was this woman finally losing her temper and starting to cause trouble in a big way?

When he first came to the countryside, he followed Mo Lijuan around and ganged up on his wife. After Mo Lijuan left, he behaved himself for a long time.

Last time, with the help of Xu Dong's grandmother's wrestling, he deliberately approached Lu Yuanchao, but the effect was obviously not good.

I don't know what he's trying to do by pulling this stunt today.

But the most important thing right now is the baby in Hongxia's belly. Lu Yuan said, "Shenghua, hurry up and take your wife to my house so my dad can take a look at her."

Before He Shenghua could say anything, Aunt Trumpet Flower spoke up first.

"Someone has already gone to fetch Doctor Gao and your wife. Deputy Director Hong was crying out in pain earlier, so we didn't dare to move him. We sent someone to call for help."

Just then, someone shouted, "Dr. Gao and A Yuan's wife are here."

The two of them arrived by bicycle and carried a small first-aid kit.

Everyone automatically made way, and Gao Weishan and Wen Moxue hurriedly walked in.

He Shenghua hurriedly said, "Dr. Gao, could you please take a look at my wife?"

Gao Weishan squatted down and began to take Hongxia's pulse. Everyone held their breath and dared not make the slightest sound.

About half a minute later, Gao Weishan stopped, took out an acupuncture kit from his medicine box, and gave Hong Xia a few acupuncture needles.

"Stop the bleeding first, then I'll prescribe some medication to help maintain the pregnancy."

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that He Shenghua was indeed covered in blood.

It really bled.

Everyone is wearing thick clothes now, and the blood has soaked into their clothes, which no one noticed before.

"Oh dear, he's bleeding! Luckily, Dr. Gao is here, otherwise, with so much blood, it might not even be long before he gets to the clinic," Trumpet Flower said, slapping her thigh.

He Shenghua hurriedly thanked Gao Weishan.

Gao Weishan said, "You're welcome. The bleeding has stopped. Just take your medicine on time and rest in bed for a few days, and you'll be fine."

As she spoke, she took a small paper packet from Wen Muxue, opened it, smelled it, confirmed it was a pregnancy-preserving medicine, and then rewrapped it and gave it to He Shenghua.

"Thank you, thank you Dr. Gao, thank you Wen Zhiqing," He Shenghua said again.

Gao Weishan left first, while Wen Moxue stayed behind. Hong Xia was her good friend, and she wanted to see if there was anything else she could help with.

Lu Yuan said to He Shenghua, "Take the person back and settle them in first, then come back and explain the situation."

He Shenghua looked at his wife in his arms, and hesitated for a moment.

Wen Moxue could tell what he was worried about, and offered, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll keep an eye on Hongxia for you."

He Shenghua nodded, carried the person home, and Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue followed.

During this time, He Shenghua briefly explained the general situation to Lu Yuan.

It was nothing more than Lin Xiaofang and others being jealous that the couple could both work at the rabbit farm, one as the farm manager and the other as the deputy farm manager, with the highest salaries in the entire brigade, so they deliberately tried to find fault with them and get one of them fired.

“It was fine before we were single and not married, but ever since we got married and became a family, everyone thinks our family earns too much.”

He Shenghua sighed, "Actually, it's not just Lin Zhiqing and the others who can't stand it. Many people also have some opinions. Now that Hongxia is pregnant, they feel that she should take good care of her pregnancy and leave the position vacant for someone else."

"Hmph, what right do they have to be envious and resentful? This farm was started by Hongxia and you." Wen Moxue said angrily.

"That's true, but you arranged for us to raise rabbits in the first place to help us. Actually, with the guidance of A-Yuan, any two people could have set up this rabbit farm."

He Shenghua was somewhat unsure about this point.

"Don't underestimate yourselves. With my guidance, many people may be able to raise rabbits, but daily record keeping, accounting, and managing the entire farm are not things that just anyone can do well."

"When we chose you two, it was partly because you were friends, but more importantly, it was because we valued your abilities."

Lu Yuan naturally acknowledges others' help openly, but he also makes sure to make them feel comfortable.

"I know, thank you all." He Shenghua was moved and thanked them again.

"Alright, you've said thank you so many times today. I'm getting tired of hearing you say it so often," Lu Yuan said.

He Shenghua twitched the corner of his mouth. "Okay, I won't say anything more, but I have a favor to ask."

Lu Yuan thought he meant to severely punish Lin Xiaofang and the others, so he said, "Don't worry, the captain will definitely stand up for you today."

"I know that, but that's not what I wanted to talk about."

"What is that?"

“Hongxia is preparing to resign. Could you help arrange for someone else to come up here?”

"What? You don't intend to settle this matter like this, do you?"

If that's the case, Lu Yuan needs to re-evaluate He Shenghua. His wife was bullied to the point of almost miscarrying, yet he's thinking of getting her to quit her job. Isn't that diminishing his own prestige to benefit others?

He Shenghua explained, "Of course not. Today, Lin Xiaofang and her group deliberately caused trouble and almost harmed my wife and child. I can't let things just be settled so easily. They have to pay the price they deserve."

"Then why did you make your wife quit her job?"

“Actually, Hongxia and I had already discussed it. We also felt that it was not good for her to occupy both the positions of manager and deputy manager of the rabbit farm. We decided to let one of them go. Since she is pregnant, she resigned and stayed home to take care of her pregnancy. With my current salary and the farm’s dividends, she won’t need to go to work in the future, and she can support her and her baby.”

This is why the couple felt that as educated youth sent to the countryside, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the village if they were too conspicuous.

Another point is that many people have opinions but don't dare to say them because of Lu Yuan. It was Lu Yuan who decided their positions, so everyone held back and didn't say anything.

But if this resentment lingers, everyone, including Lu Yuan, will start to complain, which is something the couple doesn't want to see.

So after much deliberation, the couple unanimously decided that one of them would resign.
