Chapter 313: 313 give up
Yuanyuan also sat up.
"Neither of you needs to move, I can go out by myself. Don't worry, even if I'm foolish, I won't be foolish a third time."
After Zhao Yanping finished speaking, she was already out of bed and putting on her shoes.
The two were of course not at ease. Seeing that Hai Yan was still sleeping quite soundly, they both went out together.
"Yuanyuan, keep your distance later, I'm afraid I might not hold back and accidentally hurt you."
"Hehe, there's no need for that. You have to consider your own reputation and also take care of me."
"Alright, I'll try my best."
Once they were outside, they saw Zhao Yanping standing there, and Xiang Zhiqiang was awkwardly saying something.
As they approached, they heard the conversation, which made Zhao Yanli so angry that she wanted to make a move.
It was still Yuanyuan who held her back, "Let big sister handle it herself, don't always be so impulsive."
When Xiang Zhiqiang saw the two people coming out, he was truly embarrassed.
However, today his wife's attitude towards him was very different.
"Xiao Ping, what I said is true."
"I have nothing to do with you anymore. Besides, whatever you do is your own business."
"Xiao Ping, I really didn't have time to come see you and our child a few days ago."
Zhao Yanping felt quite desolate inside. Just a newly arrived female comrade could hold him back, making him not even come to see his own child.
Now she was really awake. Such a man was not worth her efforts.
"Xiang Zhiqiang, don't disturb our life anymore. Also, don't use us as an excuse anymore. I know what's in your heart.
Forget it, we've been husband and wife, I won't say anything more. Live your own life, we'll live ours just fine."
"Xiao Ping, Xiao Ping, I really had no choice, I wanted to come that day to help you. But I saw Comrade Zheng squatting by the field crying. I thought she didn't know anything, so I wanted to teach her."
"Xiang Zhiqiang, this has nothing to do with me. Alright, don't show up again next time." With that, she turned and wanted to go back into the courtyard.
Xiang Zhiqiang instinctively grabbed Zhao Yanping's arm.
Zhao Yanli would not have it, she ran over directly, raised a stick, and hit Xiang Zhiqiang's arm with it.
"No touching!"
Xiang Zhiqiang instinctively let go again.
Zhao Yanping glanced helplessly at her sister, such a temper.
She turned around again, "Xiang Zhiqiang, don't think I'm easy to bully, don't appear in front of me again, otherwise I'll hit you every time I see you."
With that, she took her sister's hand and walked back.
Yuanyuan just stood by watching. Xiang Zhiqiang still appeared very sad.
But Yuanyuan knew people like him, she had met such people before.
Towards outsiders, they act all nice and gentlemanly. But with family, they are particularly harsh.
She despised men like that the most.
A man is a part of the family. He should be responsible to his wife and children, have you ever thought about the family while being a nice guy outside?
The three went into the courtyard, while Xiang Zhiqiang still stood outside.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore." Zhao Yanping hurriedly consoled her sister, with her easily triggered temper.
The three got back inside and lay down. "Both of you rest assured, I have thought it through."
The two still felt uneasy, but since she said so, others had nothing to say, just hoping she had really figured it out.
"Xiao Li, keep eating dried fruits." With such antics, no one was sleepy anymore.
"Xiao Li, I can't go fetch fertilizer this year, could you go for me?"
"Sure, no problem." With this, Zhao Yanli's mood improved again.
She had long wanted to go out, just had not made up her mind.
"Alright, you will go by then."
"But you will also give birth by then, right? I'm not at ease not being by your side."
Yuanyuan was so touched, Zhao Yanli truly treated her as family, as a sister.
"Rest assured, I'm alright, I'll directly go to the hospital to give birth. I don't have the courage to give birth at home.
Besides, I'm thinking of letting Director Feng call Tan Shaoting, maybe he can come back."
"Hmph, a man you can't count on. What's the use of wanting him?"
"Alright, I'm counting on you. After the autumn harvest, just go right away, come back before it snows."
"We'll see by then, I'm really not at ease letting you give birth in the hospital alone."
"No worries, I'll send Hai Yan to the eldest or the second sister-in-law, and then I'll go to the hospital to take care of Yuanyuan."
"Hmm, we'll see by then."
They didn't stay for dinner that night but went back early, there were still many animals at home waiting to be fed.
Yuanyuan also fed the animals before she ate.
She was definitely not muddling through, she had set a meal plan for herself.
She considered it especially healthy, hoping to keep herself healthy so her child could be healthy as well.
A few days later, the weather was good, Yuanyuan drove to the ranch headquarters, she really wanted Feng Baoshan to call Zhang Chunsheng.
She didn't know Tan Shaoting's current situation, feared that if he really went to out-of-province after getting a vacation, she wouldn't be able to go. Might as well go home, without delaying time.
If there's no vacation, then never mind, but also to let him know he's going to be a father.
"Director Feng, this is Tan Shaoting's leader's phone number, please call and tell him I'm pregnant."
"Alright, I'm going to the city today, I'll make the call.
Xiao Su, don't worry about the farm work in the fields, I've arranged it all for you."
"Thank you, I'm not worried, now with the Zhao Family and Li Family helping, after the autumn harvest, I'll have to trouble Director Feng, my grains will probably be delivered directly, also it's okay if there's a bit more moisture."
"I can definitely manage that, don't worry."
Even if others disagree, it has to be done. This favor must be rendered, besides, the Su Family has only wheat and corn, there's nothing difficult about it.
Yuanyuan thanked Feng Baoshan and then drove away.
On the road, she saw Zheng Lanying, whom she hadn't seen for several months.
She had really changed a lot. No longer could she feel the frivolousness from her. She was settling down, seeing her place clearly.
This was great. Hope this fellow countrywoman could live the life she longed for.
"Yuanyuan."
"Comrade Zheng, you're...?" A smile invited a smile, as she initiated the conversation, one couldn't be unfriendly.
"I'm going to the ranch headquarters."
"Oh, if you're looking for Director Feng, hurry, he's going to the city."
"No, I'm here to borrow some grains."
Yuanyuan nodded, smilingly, "Alright, I'll head back first then."
"Hmm, congratulations." With Ma Dongmei around, naturally, she knew Yuanyuan was pregnant.
"Thank you."
The two parted ways. Yuanyuan drove home, smiling while sitting on the donkey cart, although she had changed, at the core, she was still the same person.
