She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 614: Chapter 639: Go Back Together

”Then you should notify her! I actually miss her quite a bit myself.”

”Okay!” Yang Wenyin didn’t say anything, but according to the intelligence she had received, Living Yama should have returned even earlier than her. She didn’t know the reasons yet, but she had already sharply noticed that various key departments were acting unusually.

She guessed it all had to do with Living Yama, hoping nothing problematic would arise.

Shixi Town

According to rural customs, a new bride must return to her parents’ home within three days, and she must be back at her in-laws’ house before the sun sets. If she returns late, it is said that her mother-in-law will have bad eyesight. Although this is an outdated feudal thought in the countryside, it has become a tradition over time, and any new bride who dares to return late is sure to receive disapproving looks from her mother-in-law.

Sheng Ning knew her mother-in-law wouldn’t hold it against her, but she had to abide by this time nevertheless.

After lunch, she helped clean up and then took the gifts prepared by her family to return home. She had come with another person, but now she was returning alone; Sheng Ning didn’t know how to explain this to her parents.

”Ningning... come back to the General Union with me!” Mr. Su held onto Sheng Ning, ”Based on my judgment, your holiday must have already ended, and the notification might have already been issued.”

”Really?” Sheng Ning couldn’t quite believe it, but because Mr. Su, a seasoned revolutionary, had said it, she felt compelled to trust him. After all, his insights and vision were not something she could match.

”It’s definitely true.” Mr. Su was confident. Xu Qigang was out on a mission, and Sheng Ning would certainly be called back. Even if the General Union didn’t do it, Shen Feihu would make it happen. And if Shen Feihu didn’t, Xiao Hai would.

So, anyway, Ningning had to go back. Rather than wait, it was better for her to return with him.

”Then I’ll go home first to say goodbye to my father-in-law and mother-in-law.”

”We’ll come with you!”

Mr. Su had already decided to leave this afternoon and had everything prepared. Now that Sheng Ning also needed to leave, she said farewell to Sheng Laosan and Shen Luhua one by one. When it came to Sheng An, she held her hand and repeatedly urged her to come to the city to find her after the New Year.

”Okay! Sister, don’t worry, I’ll come to visit you,” Sheng An obediently nodded and promised.

”You shouldn’t do the bean sprout business either. If Mrs. Zhang wants to do it, let her have it.”

”Sure! I’d like to see what she can do!” An’an was confident in her business skills; selling bean sprouts wasn’t as easy as people thought. Weighing the goods, setting the prices, and greeting customers, not to mention dealing with those who tried to dodge payment, were not simple tasks. Most importantly, one must be diligent and skilled.

Mrs. Zhang had been lazy for years; there was no way she could do a good job.

Leaving the Sheng family, she then arrived at the Xu family. Xu Xianxiong spent the afternoon at home preparing for the New Year’s goods. Seeing only Sheng Ning returning alone, he was momentarily stunned.

”Where’s Qigang? Why didn’t he come back with you?”

Sheng Ning hadn’t dared let Qin Yue drive the car into the village, so he dropped her off at a distance and she carried the stuff in by herself. ”Mom, Qigang was called back to the rescue team because there’s an emergency.”

”Why is it like this? You just got married,” Zhao Lanzi was instantly displeased, ”With fewer than twenty days until New Year, couldn’t they wait? Why such a rush?”

Sheng Ning offered a wry smile, put down what she was carrying in her hands, and then said, ”Qigang is the captain of the elite team; they can’t do without him. If not for a special grant, we wouldn’t have even had time for our wedding.”
