Chapter 420: Chapter 420

However, looking at his wife beside him, he felt relieved again. Just let it be. He has his own wife and son. He will just consider other things as fate not being aligned.

Wang Mu looked at Wang Tongzhou and saw no reaction, realizing that this time it was truly over.

She felt regretful inside, wanting to relent, but she also knew it was not possible now. Her eldest son was still angry. Anything she said now would be useless.

"Tongzhou, what mom said earlier were just words of anger. I’ll head back first. You should take Zhiwei home once you have a break." Chapters fırst released on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

The couple didn’t respond at all, leaving Wang Mu with no choice but to call her remaining two sons and two daughters to leave.

"Mom, I’m not leaving; what am I supposed to say without a sewing machine? I’ve already told the Qiangzi family that our family has a sewing machine for dowry."

"Then you’ll have to find a way yourself." The old lady didn’t care much about her daughter.

"Big brother, go inside and give me the sewing machine."

"Big brother, are you really going to watch me unable to get married? I’m your sister, after all."

Wang Tongzhou completely ignored her, directly hugging She Xiaoyun’s shoulder and walking home. But his words reached them: "If anyone dares to step into my house, I’ll report to the police station, especially since many things have been lost recently."

"Big brother, how can you do this? Mom said you’re just a beast to carry the load for us, and now at my wedding, you offer nothing?"

Wang Mu heard her daughter’s words and hurriedly rushed over to slap her twice, "Get back inside." Originally wanting to ease the situation, she absolutely couldn’t let her daughter talk nonsense.

"Mom, why did you hit me? Isn’t this what you said yourself? How could you do this? You even said that even if he gave money, it wouldn’t work, that in the future my second brother and younger brother should be supported by him, all of which are your words."

"Shut up, stop spouting nonsense here."

"I didn’t lie; this is exactly what you told us."

Wang Tongzhou didn’t even turn his head, completely severing the last bit of attachment. From now on, they are strangers.

Jiang Xinyu did not join them but watched Wang Tongzhou’s notorious family from outside. The couple needed time now, so she decided not to get involved.

They were arguing noisily outside, drawing all the neighbors out to watch the spectacle, snickering quietly at this family.

Wang Mu had never been subjected to such pointing and criticism. She cared about her face; conflicts at home were fine, but she didn’t want others to enjoy watching a spectacle outside.

At this moment, Wang Dajiang arrived here with a few people on patrol at night.

"What’s going on? What’s going on? Why are you making such a ruckus so late at night?"

"Nothing’s wrong, nothing’s wrong, we’re just heading back to our rural hometown."

"If you’re leaving, hurry up, don’t wait until night. If we catch anyone wandering outside at night in the future, we’ll arrest them."

At this, all the spectators returned to their homes, leaving only the Zhou Family on the street. They were also frightened, and even the woman stopped causing a scene, and the five hurriedly left.

Wang Dajiang watched them leave and was finally satisfied; it felt so good.

He saw Jiang Xinyu walking alone, "Who are you?"

"Who I am has nothing to do with you. I’m just passing by."

"We are from the Revolutionary Committee. You are disrespecting us."

"Oh. I am Jiang Xinyu, Vice Factory Director of the textile factory, just passing by and watching the commotion."

Wang Dajiang knew Jiang Xinyu; after all, she was quite famous in this small county, and he knew Kong Demin had been pursuing this person.

So he quickly approached Jiang Xinyu to see what kind of beauty she really was.

Upon closer look, he was slightly disappointed; she wasn’t a beauty at all, really couldn’t compare to Kong Mengjie, and was similar to Kong Menglin, nor could she match his own cousin. Just a regular person.

Wang Dajiang quickly thought that perhaps Kong Demin was attracted by Jiang Xinyu’s abilities?

"So, it’s Vice Factory Director Jiang, my apologies, apologies."

Just then, Wang Tongzhou and She Xiaoyun came out, "Xinyu, we’ll walk you home."

Jiang Xinyu did not refuse; it was safer having a man nearby this late at night.

Wang Dajiang watched them leave and signaled his three subordinates to leave as well, pondering how he could familiarize himself with this Vice Factory Director Jiang, to eventually ruin Kong Demin’s reputation.

Although he didn’t possess that capability now, contacting a few more individuals could increase the chances of success.

Thinking of Kong Demin’s disgrace made Wang Dajiang feel satisfied.

"Xinyu, don’t go out at night anymore. This bunch is really terrible.

Today someone went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, saying they caught three people, raided homes, and did unspeakable things, even arresting young children."

"Sister She, I’ll be careful in the future, and won’t let Shi Jing and the others go out."

"That’s right, as soon as you get home, lock the door."

Wang Tongzhou was silent; he felt embarrassed since his family’s shameful matters were seen by others, leaving him truly humiliated.

They returned home, finding the door barred, with Shang Zhenkun coming to open it.

"Xiao Jiang, why are you so late? The kids are worried."

Zhiwei often wanted to go home but was held back. Jiang Xinyu hadn’t returned, indicating the matter was unresolved.

"Master Shang was concerned."

Wang Zhiwei heard the commotion, hurriedly ran out, and seeing his parents, he felt at ease.

"Xinyu, we’re heading back. You should rest early; tomorrow morning, the sweet sauce, white sugar, and rock candy will be delivered."

"Sister She, how much? Let me give it to you now; I won’t have time at noon tomorrow to give you the money, let me hand it over today."

"Sure, the peaches will be delivered the morning after tomorrow, and I’ll come after work the day after to help you."

After seeing them off, Jiang Xinyu prepared bathwater for the two children.

She addressed Shang Zhenkun, "Master Shang, we ran into the Revolutionary Committee; I hear they’re very aggressive. You’d better not take the children out; let’s avoid them as much as possible."

"Alright, I’ve heard about it too."

After finishing her bath, she lay on the kang, "Feifei, it’s chaotic outside now; don’t go out anymore, mommy is worried about you."

"Mommy, I know. I’ll definitely not go out anymore, I’ll just stay home and watch over my brother."

"Good, mommy believes in you." Jiang Xinyu reassuringly patted her daughter.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, she hurried to work.

After the morning meeting, she began checking accounts.

It lasted until noon, feeling dizzy and even her fingers ached; checking accounts was truly a tiring task.

She once assisted a professor with such tasks; though uncomfortable, it was still bearable.

"Vice Factory Director Jiang, we’ll check one more day tomorrow; then we’ll have clarity on this year’s projects." Wang Jianshu leaned back to relax a bit. His back ached—it must be due to age.
