Chapter 53
Earlier, Lin Daguo and his wife had a scene at the soap factory, and Lin Hongna's name spread like wildfire in the factory.
For quite a while, the topic of conversation among the soap factory family was Lin Daguo's family. Those who were related to the Lin family naturally did not have a good reputation.
Although the Lin family lived in the countryside, it was about 20 miles away from the town by a rugged mountain road, but don't forget the old saying, good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
As time went by, his family's dirty deeds were told to the town by his relatives in the countryside. How big was a town in those days? In addition, Lin Hongwu was also a "celebrity" in the town. He had been dating the daughter of the old Han family in the town, and they were about to get married. This guy played cards with a group of hooligans and lost miserably. His pants were even taken off. The
old Han family had only one daughter. Both her parents worked full-time, which was considered good in the town. Lin Hongwu wanted to pretend to be a grandson and eat the whole family. The Han family cut the Gordian knot and immediately arranged a blind date for the daughter. She got married in a few days.
The daughter of the Han family married a soldier, who was a family friend of the old Han family. She was a man with her own abilities and good looks, and she was much better than Lin Hongwu, a pretty boy who could only say sweet words.
Not to mention that Lin Hongwu had bad intentions and actually instigated the daughter of the Han family to elope with him before the marriage. The daughter of the Han family was a decent person, so she slapped him and left without looking back.
That night, Lin Hongwu was blocked in the alley by the furious Han family and was beaten up. Lin Hongwu's job as a temporary worker in the light bulb factory was also cancelled. It was not known whether he was scared by the beating or what, but Lin Hongwu just disappeared from the world.
Later, Lin Daguo and Li Aifeng caused a big fuss in the soap factory, and Lin Hongna became famous in the town.
Lin Hongna had a bad reputation, but it was not her fault. With such a pair of parents and a useless elder brother, the people in the town not only gossiped about her, but some residents also sympathized with her.
It was a bad fate for a young girl to have such a good family.
Therefore, Lin Hongna continued to work in the soap factory. Although she did not lose her job, her life in the workshop was not easy. In the past, relying on Sun Jialiang's pampering, Lin Hongna was not only arrogant and domineering among her female colleagues, but also looked down on others. She was late and left early. Even in the dormitory in the factory, other girls lived in a large dormitory with four people, but Lin Hongna could live in a dormitory alone. The team leader in the factory was also kind to her.
Most of the girls in the factory are in their early twenties these days, and they are young, beautiful and popular. She and Lin Hongna were both in the same batch, so why should she be treated specially?!
The girls have opinions about Lin Hongna. If you rely on someone, you will fall. I don’t know if Sun Jialiang feels ashamed after hearing about the Lin family, or if he is tired of her. He has been ignoring Lin Hongna for half a month.
Lin Hongna dressed up and came to Sun Jialiang, but Sun Jialiang didn’t touch her.
Li Aifeng also shouted every day for Lin Hongna to get pregnant quickly, so that she could marry into the Sun family and become a young lady, and help Lin Hongwu at the same time.
Lin Hongna suffered from the neglect and the exclusion from her fellow workers in the workshop. She couldn't go to Sun Jialiang to complain, and it would be useless.
If she went, she would be humiliated. If she didn't go, she would feel depressed. Lin Hongna smashed her eyes in the dormitory, cried, and slept for a while before she recovered.
The next day, her eyes were swollen like walnuts. It didn't work even if she applied cold towels. She had to go to work early in the morning. Now Sun Jialiang didn't favor her anymore, and the workshop team leader changed his attitude towards her.
Lin Hongna threw the towel in her hand angrily, casually brushed her hair twice, braided it, carried the net bag of empty lunch boxes on her back, wrapped the only towel around her, and hurried to the workshop.
At 11:30, the gongs for the end of the work at the light bulb factory finally rang.
Lin Hongna avoided the crowd, ordered a vegetarian dish and two steamed buns, put them in her pocket and went back to the dormitory to eat. As soon as she left the cafeteria and took a few steps, she saw Li Aifeng wearing a torn headscarf and dressed as an old lady guarding the door.
Li Aifeng was also very courageous. The gatekeeper was sitting in the communication room, and there were two factory soldiers with live ammunition standing at the factory gate. She waved her hands openly, not afraid of being recognized by the people in the factory and being taken away.
Lin Hongna's eyelids twitched heavily, and she didn't even have time to eat her meal. She ran over and pulled Li Aifeng aside.
Fortunately, Lin Hongna was wearing the overalls and pants of the factory, so the factory soldier with a gun just glanced at her lightly and looked away.
Lin Hongna dragged Li Aifeng around in the alley, and finally found a secluded corner. She said coldly, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come to the factory to find me if you have nothing to do? I can't bear it if something happens."
"You conscienceless girl, you are here to lecture your own mother. Don't forget who raised you with all her might..."
Li Aifeng spoke in a clichéd tone as soon as she opened her mouth. Lin Hongna's ears were ringing with laughter. She immediately interrupted her and asked her to get to the point.
"I have to go to work
this afternoon!" Li Aifeng stopped talking and leaned over to look at her belly. "Girl, why is your belly not moving?"
Speaking of which, Lin Hongna and Sun Jialiang have been together for more than a day or two. Li Aifeng always gives Sun Jialiang strong medicine. That is a skill passed down by the older generation. Once or twice, the woman can get pregnant.
Her daughter has slept with Sun Jialiang for several months, but why is her belly not moving? Could it be that Sun Jialiang is a weakling and is not good at that? That
's not right. She had secretly asked her daughter before, and Sun Jialiang was obviously not incapable. On the contrary, the daughter's words were quite moist.
That is... It would have been fine
if Li Aifeng hadn't mentioned this, but once she did, Lin Hongna became even more annoyed, "Why are you asking this? Don't I want to get pregnant? What can I do if I can't get pregnant?"
Li Aifeng was an experienced person after all, she didn't start to curse like before, but thought for a while, and suddenly clapped her hands, "Hey, my dear, don't you two have health problems and can't have children?"
These words were like thunder rolling in the sky, shocking Lin Hongna speechless.
Li Aifeng did whatever she thought of, and hurriedly dragged her to see the old Chinese doctor, and chattered to her about the good days of getting pregnant with a fat boy and marrying into the grandson's family in the future.
"When you marry into your grandson's family, you will be the daughter-in-law of an official family. You will have everything you want, and you will have the best food and the best drinks. You won't have to live through the hard times you are living now. Alas, your brother is like your father. Both of them are cunning and can't even find a wife. He has no hope in his life, but mom is counting on you. It's nothing to be afraid of if you suffer a little now. When you marry into your grandson's family, you won't have to worry about anything else. You can give birth to several sons in one go." , you will surely make your parents-in-law and your husband happy. When the two old people die, the financial power of the Sun family will be in your hands. By then, I, as a young lady, will be running around the floors, turning on the lights and making phone calls, and I will envy those nagging old women in the village! If a woman cannot give birth, just take some medicine."
While her mother was feeding the big cake, Lin Hongna's eyes gradually became bright. Yes, what does it matter if she suffers now? She can enjoy happiness in the future.
So, Lin Hongna willingly took a leave and went to find a quack doctor to prescribe medicine for Li Aifenghuang.

After a few light rains in late autumn, the streets of Yunshui County were damp and cold, and foggy everywhere.
When Gu Shian sent Lin Yao to work in the morning, he had to hang a flashlight on the front of the car to illuminate so as not to bump into people.
When the weather got cold, Lin Yao changed into a newly knitted thick sweater and thick woolen pants, wrapped in a scarf and gloves, and wore thick woolen socks on her feet. Even so, she felt cold at home.
This year's winter came earlier than in previous years, and it rained for several days in a row. The temperature dropped sharply and the compound had no heating. It would be strange if it wasn't cold.
Gu Shidong also shrunk himself into a little old man, wearing a big scarf knitted by his sister-in-law, a dog-skin hat on his head, and a horse whip in his hand. He looked like an old man driving a donkey cart.
Seeing the two children frozen like this, Zhang Cuilan felt very guilty and discussed with Gu Mancang to go to the coal station to buy beehives and bring them home to light the beehive stove in the house for heating.
Gu Mancang also sighed. In the city, you can't use a heated bed or a brazier to keep warm like in the countryside.
These days, you either have to provide collective heating from the state or go to the coal station to bring coal back to burn in the stove. But it takes several trucks of beehive coal to bring back tons of it. The two old people can't do it alone.
Gu Mancang worked in the workshop all year round and had knee problems. When it was windy, rainy or cloudy, he couldn't walk and had to take painkillers to go to work.
Zhang Cuilan had a herniated disc, which she had to feed pigs by carrying pig food. It was not easy for the old couple to raise several children, which was one of the reasons why Gu Shian chose to transfer to his hometown. Fortunately,
Deputy Director Gu was considerate. A few days before going to the countryside, he pulled two trucks of coal back and piled them in the kitchen. The beehive stoves were lit in each room of the Gu family, and they immediately became warm. The
county was going to the countryside to train militia for a week, and the county public security bureau and the armed forces were among them.
As the deputy director of the public security bureau, Gu Shian naturally had to lead the team.
Xu Xiangqian was no exception.
This was the first time that Lin Yao and Deputy Director Gu had parted after she got married.
Lin Yao attached great importance to this trip to the countryside. She was worried about the poor food and clothing in the countryside. She was worried that Gu Shi'an would be so hungry that his beard would be untidy, and he would not be comfortable sleeping in a curled-up position.
Gu Shi'an usually wore cotton pajamas made by the little girl at home. Lin Yao made two sets of them, washed them, dried them, and tied them up. She put them in the luggage bag with the military uniforms she usually wore, towels, soap, toothbrushes, and cups. She let the guy prepare his own underwear.
Lin Yao washed her hands, took back the pork belly that Zhou Xiaoxue had asked someone to buy, washed it, chopped it up, and boiled a pot of spicy meat sauce, filling a can.
Gu Shian liked spicy meat sauce, the spicier it was, the more he liked it. Lin Yao herself had a light taste, and it wasn't that she didn't like spicy food, but she really couldn't eat spicy food. When she ate spicy food, she would get small pimples on her neck and her face would turn red.
Zhang Cuilan made a pot of pancakes for her eldest son, boiled five or six eggs, and filled a net bag with apples and other things.
Gu Shian came home to get his luggage, followed by a group of sun-drenched young people. When they saw Lin Yao, they "snapped" their legs together and shouted in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Lin Yao was stunned. Oh my god, how come it's like meeting the eldest sister-in-law.
It's a bit scary.
