Wang Dajiang isn’t a fool. He knows for sure that Xiao Xiang must have t a better man than himself, and it must be Kong Demin. After all, Xiao Xiang hasn’t had the chance to et other n.
For the first ti, Wang Dajiang felt resentnt towards Kong Demin.
But Xiao Xiang didn’t admit it; however, it doesn’t matter. He would find out eventually.
Along the way, there was a particular silence, and neither knew what to say.
At half-past two, Xiao Xiang was sent back. ng Xiu Fen specially invited Wang Dajiang in for so water, to cool off for a while.
"No need, I have to go ho." He said as he left, carrying the bag of wild vegetables.
Xiao Chun was dizzy from the sun and went to the bathroom.
Just as she was dozing off, Kong Demin ca to find her again.
Wang Dajiang returned ho, looked at the dilapidated house and his ill mother, and sighed. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do now.
Suddenly, he rembered the bicycle key was still in his pocket. He had no choice but to decide to return it.
The main gate was closed, and Wang Dajiang knocked. The gate opened by itself.
It turned out that ng Xiu Fen had taken the two children to her own ho, which had been renovated and extended with three wing rooms.
Wang Dajiang walked into the yard in confusion and suddenly heard sounds coming from the wing rooms. On a whim, he crouched down and carefully moved closer.
"Second Brother Kong, slow down, slow down."
"What? Is this too much for you? You seed quite happy to return this ti, didn’t you?"
Listening to the noises inside, Wang Dajiang’s eyes turned red.
"My cousin said he wants to marry , and my mom wants to introduce to soone. I had no choice but to say you want to marry ."
"Haha, okay. Wang Dajiang hasn’t done anything to you, has he? He’s always wanted to marry you."
"No, my cousin is a really good person."
"Good? He’s just a fool. Didn’t he send you to ? From now on, you can’t et him alone."
Outside, Wang Dajiang’s eyes were red, and his clenched fists sounded like cracking.
Kong Demin is really not a good person. He knew I wanted to marry Xiao Xiang, yet he went ahead anyway? Worse than a beast.
After struggling for a long while, Wang Dajiang crouched and left. The door closed behind him. He returned ho, dazed, and collapsed on the kang.
I wasted my sincere efforts helping him, but he treated like this. So don’t bla for being heartless. A gentleman’s revenge may take ten years, but one day, I’ll bring him to ruin.
On Monday, at work, Wang Dajiang still kept sticking around Kong Demin. He wanted him dead, but he couldn’t get himself involved.
That’s why he had to make him particularly trust him, gather evidence, and make sure he couldn’t get back on his feet.
Wang Dajiang felt he should endure the humiliation and burden until he could deliver a fatal blow.
The two continued like before, and Kong Demin didn’t notice anything.
By the end of June, it was almost exam ti, so Kong Demin arranged for his brother to have a desk job at the Revolutionary Committee, not wanting him to run around outside.
ng Xiu Fen also arranged a job for Kong nglin, waiting for them to co over in mid-July.
During a family dinner, "Demin, we should move back, leave this place to Dehong and nglin to live. It’s inconvenient to live together."
Kong Demin paused. Indeed, the younger siblings would not be good knowing about his matters.
"Alright, then let’s move back. You two pack your luggage, I’ll find people to help with the move."
"No need, everything is ready there. Just take your clothes with you. The other necessities should stay for nglin and the others to use."
Kong Demin had no objections, so they used the Saturday to move back to their old ho.
This ti, Yu Jing got her own room, making it more convenient.
In the afternoon, Kong Demin went back ho, "Mom, our ho is ready. Just let Dehong and nglin stay over there. Their jobs are already arranged."
"Hmm, nglin said they’ll finish their exam on the eighth; let them go on the tenth."
"Alright, when Huang Hongwei cos over to pick up the kids, let them go together."
"No need, inform ngjie. Your dad will drive them over; no need for them to co pick them up."
The remaining two kids in the Kong Family also found jobs in the county, causing quite a stir in the village. Everyone envied the Kong Family, as they all had official jobs, which were considered secure positions.
Zhou Lihong also heard the news and felt envious. She was already twenty-three but had no marriage prospects. She knew well that no one wanted to marry her, given she was still taking care of two younger siblings.
If she had a job, things wouldn’t be so tough.
But she also understood it was rely wishful thinking. She knew how hard it was to find a job. How could anyone help her find one?
It was only this year that they, as a sibling group, started having it slightly better. At least they could eat their fill.
Zhou Lihong shook her head, dismissing her unrealistic thoughts. She decided to live steadily and raise her younger siblings.
Wang Jianqiang and his family of five sat together eating dinner. "There’s no denying Kong Laoer is quite capable," Sun Eri said while eating. Outside, Kong Laoer’s feats had already beco legendary.
"If it weren’t for his good father-in-law, could he be where he is now? Don’t be spreading nonsense, it has nothing to do with us."
"I know, I just wanted to share my thoughts with you."
Kong nglin also knew she already had a job before graduating. That feeling made her feel like she was sohow superior, like her tail was wagging high. The families who went to school with her looked at her with envy, imnsely satisfying her vanity.
"nglin, your Second Brother treats you well."
"Yes, my Second Brother is really capable."
"nglin, I’ll co visit you in the county one day."
"Sure, I live at my Second Brother’s place. When you’re in the county, co find ."
Kong nglin had undoubtedly beco the most accomplished among the village girls.
"Mom and Dad, will we be living alone with Third Brother?"
"Yes, you two eat lunch at work and you’ll cook for yourselves for breakfast and dinner. We’re bringing grain for you this ti, and your Second Brother said everything else is already there."
"Why aren’t we living with Second Brother? Then we’d have soone cook for us."
"Shut up. Don’t let hear you say that again, or you won’t be going." Kong Zhongyou forcefully placed down his chopsticks.
"Let tell you, know your place, or I’ll bring you straight back, and you won’t go anywhere."
Kong nglin was startled. "Dad, I was just speaking casually, I didn’t an anything by it."
"I’m telling you, don’t go looking for your Second Brother."
"Dad, I understand, I truly ant nothing by it."
