Chapter 154: 154 let go

"Haha, are you still going to the textile factory?"

"Yeah, it’s rare to find someone that I find pleasing."

"This way, you can easily make mistakes. Xueqi, think it through."

"Understood, I won’t make mistakes, we’re just friends now. Let’s drink and not talk about this."

The two of them drank a bottle of sixty-two degree white liquor, and it was a bit much.

"Let’s go get a room to rest."

Shen Xueqi came over; he would definitely have a resting room ready, with a hot water bottle and tea leaves prepared.

"Kaiyun, you say I look glorious all my life, but in reality, it’s all nonsense."

"You’ve had too much to drink, have some tea."

"I haven’t drunk too much, what is this little bit of liquor? It’s rare that you come over, making me want to confide.

Kaiyun, let me ask you a question. If you found out that your father wronged you, what would you do?"

"Haha, I don’t have a father."

"I’m asking hypothetically."

"Well, it depends on the matter, but I think I should accept it. After all, he’s my father with gratitude for raising me."

"Then what if your wife betrays you?"

"Why do you keep asking things I don’t have? I don’t have a wife to marry."

"Haha, yes, you’re still single, Kaiyun, don’t you long for it?"

"I’m too busy to even think about it."

"Hahaha, you really leave people speechless, is it worth it?"

Wei Kaiyun just smiled; from others’ perspectives, it’s probably he couldn’t do it, but he already knew their private speculations.

Even though both had a bit too much, they knew their limits. However, today Wei Kaiyun learned a lot.

And Shen Xueqi spoke, knowing Wei Kaiyun would soon know about his marital discord if he didn’t reveal it now; it wouldn’t be abrupt.

It was already three in the afternoon, and Wei Kaiyun wanted to leave.

"Kaiyun, why not just live in the city?"

"No, I’m meeting Old Sun tomorrow, I’m heading back first. If I’m leaving in the next few days urgently, I’ll skip saying goodbye."

"Alright. Brother, hurry up and start a family!"

"Haha, when I start a family, I’ll invite you to the wedding feast."

After Wei Kaiyun left, Shen Xueqi didn’t move, sitting in the rest room, guessing about Wei Kaiyun’s return.

There was a knock on the door; it was a fellow player, so they went to the table tennis court for an hour.

Wei Kaiyun got home at five. Jiang Xinyu was cooking.

"We’re having porridge tonight. Eating too much meat can cause internal heat."

"Alright, as long as my wife cooks, anything is fine."

After they finished eating, sitting on the kang bed, Wei Kaiyun didn’t let her read, saying it was too straining for the eyes.

"Wife, I heard some explosive news today, turns out Shen Xueqi and his spouse are not harmonious.

He actually asked me what I would do if my father wronged me? He also asked what I’d do if my wife betrayed me?

Wife, isn’t this news quite explosive?"

"Oh? Does it mean both his relatives have betrayed him?"

"I don’t know, but we’ll certainly know eventually.

Shen Xueqi won’t just accept it. Just wait and watch."

"If that’s truly the case, then Shen Xueqi is really quite pitiful."

"When I mention children, he shows disdain."

"That makes him even more pitiful. Is he genuinely fond of Kong Mengjie?"

"He said it’s rare to find someone he finds pleasing."

"That’s indeed the case.""Wife, what do you think would happen if I let Shen Xueqi find out about Kong Mengjie and Huang Hongwei?"

"That would be bad."

"What’s so bad about it? Shen Xueqi already realized Kong Mengjie isn’t a maiden."

Jiang Xinyu was exasperated — what were men talking about together?

Wei Kaiyun wanted to share a bed with Jiang Xinyu but was rejected, "I’m not feeling well these few days."

"I’ll cuddle you to sleep."

"No, if you act handsy, you’ll sleep in the west room tomorrow."

The next morning, after breakfast, Wei Kaiyun left.

Jiang Xinyu was alone at home; she was tired of staying indoors but didn’t want to venture out due to the cold. Helpless, she listened to the radio.

This year’s yield was widely exaggerated.

Here, two heavy rains had fallen, reducing the yield per acre to less than half of a normal year. It’s imaginable how severe the disaster-stricken areas were.

Wei Kaiyun wouldn’t return for lunch, and she was too lazy to cook; a sugar bun and a bag of milk would suffice. She thought of making bread once she felt better.

She hadn’t had any goodness in ages, craving them. She retrieved one from the stash and ate it.

Wei Kaiyun didn’t come solely for a vacation; there were tasks assigned by his superiors.

After briefing on some matters, he looked forward to potential excitement next Saturday if Shen Xueqi came over.

Those who offend him never have a good outcome. He now suspected that his dreams were events he experienced in a past life.

He’s not concerned about why Jiang Xinyu knew; as long as she’s his, it’s fine.

There used to be Old Yang here, completely worry-free, but now Old Yang had semi-retired, leaving the place unruly; the newcomer couldn’t hold the fort.

Wei Kaiyun, still intimidating here, quickly had matters executed once delegated.

In the afternoon, he conversed extensively with the person in charge, who, though appearing agreeable, was definitely a ruthless character; the tiger’s teeth hadn’t shown yet.

Eggs were sold here, and he’d collected them all, totaling one hundred thirty, enough to last a while.

Bringing the eggs home, dinner was pickled vegetables with flat noodles and eggs. After a lovely meal, he lay on the kang bed with his wife, listening to the radio.

"Wife, I’m going to find a deck of cards tomorrow, will I teach you to play?"

"Not interested, you might as well find me some books to read instead."

"That’s not difficult; I have a friend whose family’s full of scholars; they’ve left behind many books. Selling them for scrap won’t fetch much. How about I get them for you?"

"Alright? That’s your task tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem, wife, since you graduated junior high, have you thought about going to high school?"

"It’d be nice to go to school instead of working. I’ll inquire when enrollment starts."

"Can you bear leaving your job behind?"

"What’s there to be reluctant about?"

"How about checking if there’s a night school?"

"Why would high school have night school? If there’s someone familiar, could I keep my enrollment and self-study for exams?"

"Do you have the time?"

"Why wouldn’t I? There’s plenty of time at night."

"Alright, tomorrow I’ll help inquire. It’s not holiday time yet; I’ll try?"

"Haha, you’re great to have, having a boyfriend to step in and handle things for me."

"Now you see the perks of having me around, huh?"

"Yes, yes, you’re the most important.

By the way, Old Ding will come tomorrow night for meat and wheat."

"My wife’s connections are excellent."

"They’re alright, any relationship requires both parties contributing. They’re good to me, so I’m happy to deepen the ties."
