Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Huang Hongwei picked up his daughter, feeling incredibly uneasy along the way.

Being able to marry Kong Mengjie, as his buddies said, was truly his blessing. She was young and beautiful, and whenever the men privately discussed the girls at the factory, the most beautiful one chosen was Kong Mengjie.

Back then, he was so captivated by her appearance that he couldn’t help but make a move.

It was even more fortunate to have married her, even though his reputation suffered a bit. But who would remember in a few years? Even if they did, it would fade over time.

If it weren’t for the last incident with Zhao Zhongshuo, he wouldn’t have been suspicious. But he knew that when it happened, his wife was already pregnant, and besides, they were all dressed properly at that time, so nothing really happened.

The more Huang Hongwei thought about it, the more terrified he became, ”Dad, what’s wrong with you?”

”Tiantian, I upset your mom, can you go back and say something nice on my behalf?”

”Okay, Dad. Mom won’t really be mad at you.”

As they returned home, they saw the door locked, which scared Huang Hongwei so much that his legs almost gave way. Did his wife run away from home?

”Dad, where’s Mom?”

”Shall we go in and have a look?”

The son wasn’t at home either, which made him even more frightened. But his wife’s belongings hadn’t been moved, although the lunch box was gone.

”Tiantian, let’s go find your mom.”

”Dad, do you know where Mom went?”

”She might have gone to the cafeteria, let’s go over and check.”

Sure enough, Kong Mengjie had taken the child to the textile factory cafeteria.

The more she thought about it, the more disgruntled she felt. After tidying up her son, she headed to the cafeteria, wanting everyone to take a look.

”Mr. Kong, are you here to get food with your son? Where’s Director Huang?”

”He went to pick up our daughter from school. Sister Liu, give me six buns, two dishes. Two congees.”

”Alright, Mr. Kong looks great, and so does your son.”

Kong Mengjie chose this window to get food because she knew this woman loved to gossip.

She deliberately held her child up vertically for her to see.

”My son doesn’t look like either of us, he resembles his uncle. My second brother works at the county Revolutionary Committee and often comes to visit me, you’ll know when you see him.”

”Is that so? It’s common for a nephew to look like his uncle.”

Huang Hongwei arrived at the cafeteria with his daughter. Seeing his wife getting food while holding their son, he hurried over.

”I can get the food. You’re exhausted.” Huang Hongwei said ingratiatingly.

”Okay. Tiantian, say hello to Auntie.”

”Director Huang, Mr. Kong’s daughter is really pretty and sensible.”

Maybe it was out of guilt or something, but today the buns were bigger, and the portions were more.

Huang Hongwei carried the lunchbox bag with one hand and held his daughter with the other, walking alongside Kong Mengjie. From behind, it was still noticeable.

No matter how Kong Mengjie dressed him up, Huang Hongwei, after all, was now thirty-eight, and his figure was somewhat hunched.

The four of them greeted the workers along the way, and everyone took a look at the little child.

Kong Mengjie tirelessly mentioned how the child resembled his uncle.

After returning home, the smile on Kong Mengjie’s face disappeared. Though she was in the wrong, she couldn’t show it in front of Huang Hongwei.

Huang Hongwei nervously set the table, ”Mengjie, Tiantian, you guys eat first, I’ll take care of our son.”

Kong Mengjie knew when to stop, ”No need, let Huang Jianfeng lie down by himself, we’ll eat together.”

Hearing his wife’s words, Huang Hongwei felt a bit more at ease, though he still tried to be careful and accommodating.

Throughout the evening, Kong Mengjie maintained a cool demeanor, after coaxing Tiantian to sleep, Huang Jianfeng also finished nursing and fell asleep.

Huang Hongwei suddenly hugged Kong Mengjie tightly, ”Wife, I was wrong, I’ll never do it again, you’re the one I love most, today I was just lost in my thoughts.”

Kong Mengjie snorted but said nothing.

Huang Hongwei truly cared about Kong Mengjie, so he knew that now his wife had calmed down. Seizing the opportunity, they shared a passionate night.

A couple quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed; by the next day, they were as sweet as ever.

Huang Hongwei, having been submissive the whole night, felt somewhat powerless in the morning, but inside he was much more relieved, and vowed never to suspect again.

The couple’s crisis had resolved, but Zhao Zhongshuo felt incredibly uncomfortable. He was working the night shift yesterday, and only heard about yesterday’s events this morning when he got off.

He knew well that this child must be his own. When Kong Mengjie didn’t refute it, but then heard people outside say the child looked like the uncle, he felt unhappy. He had to find a chance to see Kong Mengjie, he really missed her.

Wang Ailing wrote a letter to Jiang Xinyu that evening, mentioning this incident, and also telling her that Song Qingqing already had a boyfriend, the public security officer who once wanted to court Jiang Xinyu.

”Ailing, why haven’t you slept yet?”

”Soon, tomorrow morning you can send out the letter.”

”Alright, are you writing gossip again?”

”Yes, Xinyu is all alone out there, I’m just giving her some entertainment.”

”You, go to sleep quickly, or you’ll be listless again tomorrow.”

”Guo Liang, what if this baby is another daughter? Won’t your parents be unhappy?”

”If it’s another daughter we’ll keep having children, isn’t it better than your fellow townsman? They had two kids with no one to watch, our kids have my parents, we could even have five or six and it’d be fine.”

”You wouldn’t despise me for not having a son, would you?”

”How could I? Even if we really don’t end up having a son, it doesn’t matter, daughters are just fine.” Chen Guoliang quickly reassured his wife fearing she’d overthink.

What he was saying was truly from the heart, they were still so young, they could keep trying, and he didn’t believe they couldn’t have a son.

Despite her husband’s soothing words, Wang Ailing still felt burdened, though understanding that having sons or daughters was a matter of fate.

Her sister-in-law’s second child was another son, making people envious, now in Mom and Dad’s eyes, her sister-in-law was the Wang Family’s hero, though her parents-in-law liked her, not being able to have a son would still leave them unhappy, right?

Meanwhile, Lv Beiguang coldly stared at his wife, his former sister-in-law.

”From the moment I first met you, I knew what kind of person you were. Your sister reacted so dramatically back then, it was all you egging her on.

You went to great lengths to influence the two kids, I let you succeed, but I made it clear before marriage, I wouldn’t have children with you. And now you resent me? Did I deceive you?”

”Lv Beiguang, how can you treat me this way? I love you so much, waiting for you all this time, wanting to marry you, be your wife, and have your children. You can’t do this to me.”

”If you regret it, you can leave anytime. Did you really think I didn’t notice how since we got married, you’ve neglected and disliked the two kids? Even if they are your stepchildren now, aren’t they still your nephew and niece?”
