But this is sothing that can’t be helped; the child is too young and can’t handle riding in a bullock cart.
When second brother was doing well, he never thought to build connections. Now that sothing has happened, it’s already good enough that nobody is kicking us when we’re down. Thinking soone would help is simply unrealistic.
Kong ngjie didn’t go straight ho; instead, she went to the committee again, speaking nicely for a long ti, but she still couldn’t see ng Xiu Fen and second brother.
But she did et Sun Hongxia.
"Second sister-in-law." Kong ngjie was soone who could bend or stretch as needed. Even though she knew they’d divorced, she still called her second sister-in-law.
"Kong ngjie, you shouldn’t call that anymore. I’ve already divorced your second brother."
The two of them spoke directly at the door, without avoiding anyone else.
"But a day as a couple should an a hundred days of grace. Are you really going to ignore my second brother?"
"Huh? How should I help him? My father was ruined by your second brother. Honestly, not reporting him is already the best I can do. He’s nothing but a beast. I, a decent girl, ended up with him, and he brought my father down. Can he even be considered human? Back then, he had power and I had no choice, but now wanting to save him is impossible."
Sun Hongxia finished speaking, her eyes red, and turned to leave on her bicycle.
Kong ngjie watched her back, feeling chaotic inside. What did second brother even do? If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have sought out Sun Hongxia.
She was right; it’s good she didn’t report him. They were a couple; she should know a lot.
This is truly bullying; who knows what second brother was thinking.
But Kong ngjie didn’t give up, continuing to plead with the guard at the gate.
"Comrade, I’m just here to deliver so clothes to ng Xiu Fen. She’s not the main culprit, and besides, I can’t even see Kong Demin. Please be kind, and let give her a few pieces of clothing."
The guard, worn down by her persistence, finally relented, "You definitely won’t get to see ng Xiu Fen, but if I check the clothes and they’re fine, I can take them to her."
Kong ngjie knew this was the best she could do. She took each item out for the guard to check, and only packed them up when there were no issues.
It was already past three in the afternoon, so she decided to head ho. Right now, the children at the textile factory’s primary school were still fine because Qian Jun was holding them down, so there was no unrest, but everyone was still anxious. No, once this matter is settled, the kids will stop going to school. After all, it’s only the Red Education Class. Watching them at ho also saves money, as finding work is tough, and they rely on Huang Hongwei alone to support the family.
When Kong ngjie thought about this, her heart was filled with regret. Why did she impulsively agree to second brother’s request back then?
Jiang Xinyu is truly a jinx for the Kong Family; as soon as the Kong Family gets involved with her, nothing good happens.
Who knows why she’s so unlucky; even when second brother had power, he couldn’t defeat her?
She must have soone protecting her from above. Otherwise, how could second brother be unable to move a deputy factory director?
Maybe she’s involved with a leader from above, despite claiming to be separated from her man?
Kong ngjie felt her suspicions were right. But now she didn’t dare speak out loud about it anymore, fearing Jiang Xinyu.
She’s a complete lunatic. If she knew I’d said bad things about her, what would I do if she got Huang Hongwei fired?
When Kong ngjie returned ho, she quickly started a fire; they’d just make porridge for dinner with the broken corn kernels brought from ho. This kind of porridge was tasty but required more fuel, but without a fire, the house would be too cold.
Picking up the children was always Huang Hongwei’s task, but Kong ngjie thought since she was jobless, she’d go herself tomorrow and give him so rest.
In the evening, the family of five ate dinner, and the three children, unaware of worries, were happy and cheerful.
Even if Kong ngjie felt sad, she wouldn’t show it in front of the kids.
Today Huang Hongwei seed sowhat quiet, always staring at Huang Jianfeng during dinner.
Noticing this, Kong ngjie felt uneasy, not knowing what was wrong with him.
"Why are you staring at Jianfeng? Did he do sothing wrong today?"
"Mom, I was very good today. The teacher even gave a little red flower."
Kong ngjie lovingly patted her son’s head, "Good, Jianfeng did very well."
Huang Hongwei didn’t say anything, but he kept thinking about what Jiang Xinyu had said.
Later that night, when the couple lay on the bed, Kong ngjie was so angry that she ignored Huang Hongwei. She knew if she treated him too well, he would think she felt guilty. She absolutely couldn’t admit to it, especially if Zhao Zhongshuo brought it up.
If she admitted to it, there’d be no way out.
Huang Hongwei, seeing his wife with her back to him, knew she was angry, but he still had his doubts.
But what if Jianfeng really wasn’t his child? What then? Divorce? But at his age, what else could be done? Plus, there were two daughters. What if they weren’t his either? No, they still resembled his elder daughter quite a bit. That couldn’t be.
After figuring things out, Huang Hongwei nestled into his wife’s bed.
"Get away from . You don’t trust , do you? Just because Jiang Xinyu said sothing, you start doubting ? I was scared then, scared she’d use our son to threaten . But what were you thinking? How could you doubt ?"
"Wife, I was wrong. Today when I picked up the kids, they all said Jianfeng didn’t look like . I was just observing; Jianfeng still resembles his uncles."
"But you’re making feel hurt inside."
"I’m sorry, ngjie, I never doubted you."
Huang Hongwei, wearing a contrite face, reached his hand inside his wife’s clothes.
Truthfully, Kong ngjie didn’t feel like it, but she knew refusing would be bad.
If she really refused, Huang Hongwei might get suspicious. People are just this paranoid.
Oh well, what’s not his is just not his; she didn’t lack a son. And besides, she’d raised him, so in the end, he wouldn’t ignore her, right?
Huang Hongwei really figured it out and decided not to dwell on it anymore.
From now on, life should go on as usual; after all, he’d raised them for this long.
Kong ngjie, however, didn’t sleep all night. She knew her husband must know, but he didn’t reveal it because he wanted to keep the relationship and the family going.
Now, she hated Zhao Zhongshuo. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be in this situation.
She also hated Jiang Xinyu; it was her words that caused Huang Hongwei to doubt, and she blad herself for being too shocked and scared at the ti.
But how did Jiang Xinyu know about this matter? And how did she know so much about second brother’s situation? Could it be she was always following the siblings? It’s terrifying; she’d planned to act against her all along, right?
