Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

”What are you being polite for? If it weren’t for you coming to help me every day, I probably wouldn’t have passed the exam smoothly.”

At this moment, Qian Jun was lying in bed, thinking Jiang Xinyu should have given birth by now, right?

Why would she give birth to this child? He never understood, as he thought he knew her well enough.

She doesn’t have a good boyfriend, and with her character, she couldn’t possibly get involved with a man who has a family, so Hao Shichao and the others are definitely not possible.

Where exactly did she go during that holiday? Could it really be as he imagined, that she was forced by someone? But if that were true, why would she keep the child?

She hasn’t called this month, which means the child has been born. If she was indeed forced, and has to see the child every day, could she feel at ease?

Thinking of the few letters on the table, these were delivered by her friends, hoping he could mail them to her.

Tomorrow, I’ll take a trip to the post office to send her three months’ salary, along with these letters.

Wang Ailing held her daughter. ”Honey, my colleague keeps asking for Director Jiang’s address, wanting to write her a letter.” Chen Guoliang indeed couldn’t believe his colleague was still so romantically devoted, even though he’s been explicitly refused, yet he persists.

”We don’t have her address either; only Mr. Qian knows the exact address.”

I saw Secretary She deliver several letters to Mr. Qian, which I assume are from Xinyu’s friends.”

”Do you want to ask Mr. Qian?”

”Guoliang, that’s not a good idea. Xinyu doesn’t like such things. You should just tell your colleague directly.

Besides, Xinyu will return in three years; can he really wait? If Xinyu agrees to let him wait, that’s one thing, but clearly Xinyu isn’t thinking like that at all. Don’t let it delay your colleague.”

”Alright, I’ll have another chat with him tomorrow. There are several people wanting to introduce him to someone new, yet he’s refusing to meet them. I truly have no idea he would still be that kind of person.”

”Mom, let me do it. Every day is not easy.” Wang Ailing quickly puts her child down upon seeing her mother-in-law working.

”It’s fine, I can still manage. Ailing, I want to discuss something with you. I want to take Tingting back to my hometown to live.”

”Mom, don’t go back this year. It’s already that time of year, it’s about to be mid-November, and the weather has gotten cold. You and Dad just stay here, we’ll celebrate New Year here this year. After spring starts next year, if you want to take the child back, then go ahead; by then Tingting will be older, she’s still too young now.”

The old couple knew this would happen; the daughter-in-law’s request isn’t unreasonable, but they are still a bit disappointed, having spent their whole lives in the village, now just staying home every day, not knowing anyone outside. It’s really distressing.

”Mom and Dad, I’m on vacation this week, let Guoliang take you back to have a look, I’ll stay home with the child.” Wang Ailing understood.

”Alright, no need for Guoliang to drive us, I’ll just take your mom on the bike.”

The old couple truly missed home, even if it’s just to go back and see.

In the evening, Chen Guoliang held onto Wang Ailing tightly, ”Honey, why are you so good?”

Their family was harmonious, but Kong Mengjie was having a terrible time.

No one to look after the child, who had a fever again this time, she went to the clinic with the child to get medicine and came back. Sitting on the kang holding the child, she started crying.

”Mengjie, don’t cry. If it doesn’t work, take time off to care for Tiantian at home.” Huang Hongwei looked at his daughter, red with fever, feeling heartbroken as well.

”But you’re the only one working, the money isn’t enough. Besides, if I keep taking time off, I probably won’t be able to be the team leader.”

”Mengjie, let’s pay someone to look after the child.”

”Who? The few families around us don’t interact with us, who would look after the child for us?”

”I’ll ask around, let Tiantian eat at their house, give them ten yuan a month.”

Kong Mengjie thought about it, this method might work. Tiantian is already a year old, leaving her alone at home frequently isn’t reassuring.

Huang Hongwei went out and returned half an hour later.

”Mengjie, I’ve found someone, it’s the Old Wu Family at the head of our row, they agreed. Take a few days off first, once Tiantian is better, we’ll take her over.”

Kong Mengjie finally felt relieved, looking at her daughter’s feverish face, she wiped it several times, and only by midnight did the fever subside.

Kong Mengjie got up and made a steamed egg custard for the child, carefully feeding her.

”Tiantian, eat slowly, if you want more, Mommy will make it for you again tomorrow.”

The little girl nodded obediently. Kong Mengjie felt her nose turn sour, knowing she had truly neglected this child.

After coaxing the child to sleep, Huang Hongwei embraced Kong Mengjie, ”Honey, you’ve been wronged with me.”

”As long as you treat our little family well, I won’t feel wronged.”

Meanwhile, Shen Xueqi was also in a mess, suddenly unable to find the child, and a comrade came looking for him at night.

Everyone went out to search together, a bunch of them climbed the mountain with flashlights so late at night.

”Mom, I really didn’t mean it. He fought with me, and in anger, I said his grandpa slept with his mom.”

”Oh, you naughty child, when Hongyu comes back you must apologize to him, though your father will surely punish you.

How did you know about this incident?”

”I overheard you and Grandma talking.”

They only returned in the later half of the night.

Shen Xueqi led Shen Hongyu, ”Chen Kun, I’ll take the child back with me, it’s not working out, he still needs to go to school.”

”Do you have time to drop him off and pick him up?”

”I’ll send him to a boarding school. The textile factory has an elementary school for employees’ children, I’ll visit him every week.”

He crouched down to look at Shen Hongyu, ”What’s your decision? Do you want to go or do you want to stay?”

”Dad, I’ll go to school.” Actually, he should be in second grade this year.

”Okay, I’ll take you back.

Chen Kun, don’t give the child a hard time, Hongyu was wrong, but eventually, he’ll learn about these things.”

”Xueqi, I’m really sorry, you entrusted your child to me and this kind of issue occurred. Sigh!”

”I’m grateful to sister-in-law for taking such good care of Hongyu. It’s fine, I’ll let him board, it’s been delayed a year already, can’t delay any longer.”

Shen Xueqi rode his bike late at night to take the child home.

Shen Hongyu hugged his father’s waist, ”Dad, is what they said true?”

”Yes, that’s why I sent you to a place where no one knows you, but now that you know, it’s okay. Please go to school obediently, I’ll see you every week.”

”Will you be boarding?”

”I don’t know if there’s a dormitory, if my friend is still there, she will definitely take good care of you.

Tomorrow I’ll call and ask, if not, I’ll rent a place there and find someone to look after you.

However, you must know, what they did is known by almost everyone, you might still face mockery from others.”
