Chapter 48: Quarrel

 

In December, he was busy for more than half a month and Wang Licheng, who was very busy, didn't even come home for dinner on his birthday.

Both husband and wife were busy; the daughter was completely handed over to Liu Fengzhen and even slept with Liu Fengzhen at night. Wang Licheng came back in the early morning every day, and sometimes he stayed on a chair in the factory all night before he came back.

Orders had surged, factories were not productive enough and will need to be scaled up again next year.

Last night Wang Licheng didn't go home, he squinted in the office for an hour and continued to work. He has to squat in the factory. Whether it is a machine failure or other large and small matters, others can’t handle it immediately without slowing down the production progress.

In the evening, he ate some food brought by his aunt in the factory and was ready to continue fighting. Xiao Hongyan called to let him go home. Listening to her tone, he felt that it was not a good thing.

He went home immediately, and his mother Liu Fengzhen said that Xiao Hongyan was waiting for him in the study on the third floor.

Recently, Zeng Lihua often came to their cultural and educational department to find her. She is from the propaganda department, not in the same department as her, not on the same floor.

Every time the two of them finished chatting, Zeng Lihua would ask her how her revision was going. Zeng Lihua also kindly wanted to take care of Xiao Hongyan's review progress to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Xiao Hongyan had just participated in the training in the ministry, and had sent some materials to take home to read, but reading these materials should not be regarded as a review.

The first time she asked, Xiao Hongyan was at a loss. The second time she asked, Xiao Hongyan didn't know why. The third time she asked Zeng Lihua, she knew what it meant.

Zeng Lihua said that Wang Licheng asked Xue Zhiyong about her promotion, and she thought that Xiao Hongyan was reviewing and preparing to take the unified examination in the coming year.

Xiao Hongyan went home and found her high school textbooks and materials in the study, knowing that what Zeng Lihua said was true.

What they all know, why does her client know nothing.

Wang Licheng saw Xiao Hongyan sitting motionless at the desk at the door of the study. On the desk were the textbooks he brought back from his father-in-law's house. He understood that Xiao Hongyan might already know it.

"Hongyan…" Wang Licheng walked to the table and called her.

"Should you explain these textbooks to me?" Why did he decide for her? She didn't want to take any exams at all.

"I want you to take the unified examination next year." He knew that today was not a good time to talk about it, but it was already at this stage, and he couldn't say no.

"Why, did I agree? Do you have to go if you want me to go? You made me pregnant and stayed at home and didn't work and asked me to resign. I listened to you. You still want me to take the unified exam, if I pass the exam. What should you do, leave you to study abroad? Is it your real purpose to let me leave?"

Xiao Hongyan cried and said the last sentence before leaving. Wang Licheng pulled her away.

"Hongyan, no, listen to me, I don't want you to leave. But you can't get promoted if you don't study. You have to think about your future."

"What about the daughter? She hasn't called me mother yet. When I come back from school, will she still know me?" Why must she be promoted; she doesn't want to leave them; why is his heart so cruel; why is he willing to let her leave?

"No, I will often take my daughter to see you, and you can often go home." He wanted to hug Xiao Hongyan, but Xiao Hongyan kept struggling not to let him hug her.

"You let go, I don't want to see you." Often take your daughter to see her? If the place where she studies is far away, will he still visit her often or even take his daughter to see her? He must be reluctant to let his daughter squeeze the train.

She knew that these were all nonsense talk by Wang Licheng to coax her.

Why is this? They are too busy to spend time together, and now he wants her to study. The first course of university study is four years, what is the concept of four years? She did not understand why Wang Licheng would relentlessly let her study.

Wang Licheng obediently let go, he felt that Xiao Hongyan needed to calm down, her thoughts were too extreme.

He goes to Jiangcheng several times a month; he can take his daughter to see her every week and it is very convenient for her to come back. The factory has its own truck. If she doesn't want to take her own car, so he can let the truck pick her up from school.

Wang Licheng even thought of buying a house near Jiangda University. Xiao Hongyan didn't want to live in the house he bought, and it was convenient for him to take his daughter to see Xiao Hongyan.

Because of his alumni records, he knew that Xiao Hongyan would study at Jiangda University, but Xiao Hongyan didn't know. And all his assumptions are based on Xiao Hongyan's study at Jiangda University.

He didn't expect Xiao Hongyan to be so angry. He knew that Xiao Hongyan would be reluctant to part with her daughter and she might not want to study abroad because she was reluctant to part with her daughter. But he didn't expect her to resist so fiercely.

Xiao Hongyan went back to her room and locked the door, sitting on the bed and crying. She thought that Wang Licheng would follow her and coax her outside the door.

After she heard the third brother's voice, Wang Licheng didn't appear again tonight.

There was an accident in the factory. This was the first sentence Xiao Jiandang said when he ran. This sentence was enough for Wang Licheng to leave home and go to the factory immediately.

Wang Licheng went to the non-staple food store to call the factory, and the factory workers said that the person had been sent to the hospital. He took all the larger money from the store and went to the hospital.

Liu Wan's village chief and several villagers were waiting outside the treatment room for doctors to treat the injured. After Wang Licheng came over, the villagers surrounded him.

These villagers are family members of the injured. I heard that the injured person had an accident and went to the hospital with them.

"You all get out of the way, and I'll tell you."

It turned out that the worker didn't know how to get his hands into the machine properly when he was operating the machine. He was afraid that when he pulled it out, he would dislocate his wrist and be hit by something sharp in the middle of his palm. It was cut open, and the wound was torn in the hard pull, causing secondary damage.

There was a lot of blood at the time, which frightened the workers in the factory, thinking that his hand was broken so he immediately called Wang Licheng.

"Village chief, what I mean is; no matter what the cause is, we will cure the person first and we will do whatever we need to do with the rest." If the person had an accident in his factory, even if he violated regulations, he has the responsibility to pay.

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. I'll be in charge of communication with his relatives." Those villagers were not literate, and he was really afraid that they would hit Wang Licheng. It's not good for anyone when things get bigger.

"Then thank the village chief, and tell me after the communication and I will compensate for the money that should be paid." This is also considered an unwarranted disaster. When he first came, those few people stared at him and after surrounding him, he thought he would be beaten.

After Wang Licheng came, he carefully observed that the person was in the treatment room, not in the operating room, indicating that the injury was not serious; as long as it could be treated, everything was negotiable. It's a matter of paying more and less.

"As long as you trust me, I will take care of this matter to the end." Wang Licheng is half a Liuwan native. He builds a factory in Liuwan, builds roads and generates income for the villagers. No matter what, he should take care of it.

Xiao Hongyan sat by the bed all night, but Wang Licheng did not come back. She went to work in the morning with red and swollen eyes.

At noon Zeng Lihua took her to lunch.

She didn't even have breakfast; she had no appetite and couldn't eat it.

In the morning, my mother-in-law persuaded her a few words and told her that something had happened in the factory. So why did Wang Licheng not return overnight?

Zeng Lihua was in a meeting in the morning, and when she came out after the meeting; she heard someone talking about Xiao Hongyan, saying that her eyes were swollen when she came this morning, and she probably cried.

She only told Xiao Hongyan about the unified examination yesterday. Judging from the situation, Wang Licheng hadn't told her yet. They won't quarrel because of what she said yesterday!

After get off work at noon, she went to Xiao Hongyan's department and took her out.

"Hongyan, did you guys quarrel?" Her eyes were swollen like eggs and she might have cried all night.

"Sister Lihua, I don't want to take the exam and I don't want to study." As she spoke, her tears flowed down again.

After they quarreled last night, Wang Licheng never came to see her. Even if something happened in the factory, he didn't come all night. Wang Licheng might be angry with her.

"Don't cry, don't read if you don't want to and he can't hold a knife to your neck and force you to read." To convince people that she really isn't good at Liu Hongmei, she should have called Liu Hongmei over.

Zeng Lihua thought that reading was a good thing, and then think about their young daughter, she is a woman and understands what women think.

"We had a fight last night, and he went out all night and didn't come back." Wasn't he forcing her by doing this?

Why does she have to go to study; she doesn't want to be promoted, so it's not good to live a stable life?

"He may be busy with something." She couldn't go on for this reason. What Wang Licheng did was so wrong, how could he just walk away after the quarrel.

Will something really happen in the factory? She wants to call the third brother. Wang Licheng had never left her alone like this.

"Mother-in-law also said the same."

Zeng Lihua continued to ask her when she saw that Xiao Hongyan was calmer. "Can you tell me why you don't want to study?"

Only after work can you know how important reading is. Xiao Hongyan should also understand this.

"I want to stay in Pucheng, and I don't want to leave them. If I say this, Sister Lihua will laugh at me." She just couldn't bear them.

"No joke, as a mother and wife, I understand your thoughts. Wang Licheng may have used the wrong method, but he thinks that you should study and improve yourself definitely for your own good and your family's good."

Wang Licheng is rare reasonable man. Many women in their administrative units want to study because their families are holding them back.

They have to work in the unit and manage the housework at home. They have no time to study, let alone the support of their in-laws and husbands.

She also knows the importance of studying, but four years is really too long. She is afraid that she will not be able to get married when she comes back from studying.

"Sister Lihua, it's not that I really don't want to study, it's just that four years are too long."

"Have you ever thought about studying in Jiangcheng, which is close to Pucheng, doesn't your Wang Licheng have a shop in Jiangcheng? Let's meet. Or it is convenient to come back. Also, I heard that you only need to study for three years to take the unified examination, and you have to go back to work in the original unit in the fourth year.” Her family, Xue Zhiyong, studied at the party school for three years.

"Does the university in Jiangcheng say that you can pass the test?" She had failed the college entrance examination, so she was not very confident.

"I don't know if you know something. Wang Licheng was arrested in the police station for a long time before." She felt that Wang Licheng's promotion of Xiao Hongyan might be related to what happened.

"Sister Lihua, I don't know what's going on." Her tone was a little anxious and flustered, and he hadn't told her.

"Don't worry; it's already a thing of the past. Isn't your non-staple food store selling Xili Li drinks? It's because of the drink bottle... After the conflict, the police station went to the store and arrested your mother-in-law the next morning. Later, they arrested Wang Licheng and released your mother-in-law. Someone called Zhiyong, my family, and Zhiyong went to the police station to bring Wang Licheng out.

At that time, it was the brother-in-law of the director of the police station and the police officer couldn’t arrest the son of the deputy director of the bureau. Only your Wang Licheng had no power or backing, so he was locked up."

This is the reality; those who are oppressed and bullied are generally powerless and feeble.

She never knew about it, and no one ever told her.

"Sister Lihua, when did this happen?" Xue Lili started selling it after Wang Licheng opened a non-staple restaurant the year before.

"It should have been the summer of the previous year." Later, Wang Licheng also sent a box of sanitary napkins to Xue Zhiyong, which she remembered very clearly.

Last summer, when they were already together, did he not tell her because she was worried?

Because of this kind of thing, he was imprisoned in the police station, he should be very sad! If she went to study and she worked hard for promotion, their family would no longer be a soft persimmon to be bullied by others.
