Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 440: 440 Smart

The couple didn’t have any disputes because of this matter.

In fact, Yanli wasn’t exactly calm inside. She was just more rational and knew that her husband was also a victim. Stirring it up would only make her husband feel worse.

Yanli was right. It wasn’t even evening yet, and the whole city knew about the incident.

Isn’t it fresh news? Which woman takes the man’s initiative to sleep with her?

Now, Liang Lanqing’s name was even more infamous.

The two brothers at school were being teased by classmates, and Old Liang at the factory was also being ridiculed by colleagues. Only at her brother’s house was Wu Fangyun still unaware of the matter.

Liang Lanqing ran home, her face drained of color; this time she was truly frightened.

Now she couldn’t even understand why she did such a thing back then? She really couldn’t believe it was her doing.

But this was the reality. What should she do now? Could she go out at all in the future?

She was terrified to the extreme, unable to sit or stand still at home.

She knew she really couldn’t stay here any longer, otherwise, she’d drown in gossip.

So she hurriedly packed her things, and an hour later, she left home and went directly to her uncle’s house; there was nowhere else to go. If it’s the countryside, so be it; at least not many people there knew about her situation.

When she arrived at her uncle’s village, her two brothers had already returned home angrily. But seeing the locked front door, they knew their sister wasn’t home.

Now they were extremely ashamed. Their classmates were mocking them over this matter. Both of them felt too embarrassed to stay in school.

Old Liang was also furious. He took a leave to come home, only to see the two sons sitting by the main entrance.

”Dad, do you also know what big sister did?”

Old Liang nodded. How could he not know? Now everyone in the factory was talking about it.

He opened the door, and the three of them went inside; now, they were too embarrassed to go out.

Liang Lanqing entered her uncle’s house.

”Why are you here? Why is your face like this? What happened?”

”Mom, I have no way to live.”

Her uncle and aunt were startled by what Liang Lanqing said.

”What happened?” her uncle asked.

Liang Lanqing didn’t have the courage to explain, but even if she didn’t say it, her mom would eventually find out.

So she hesitantly recounted the incident.

Wu Fangyun picked up the broom on the kang and began hitting Liang Lanqing. ”How can you be so shameless? How is our family supposed to live? The gossip every day is unbearable.”

After speaking, she burst into tears. What are we going to do? How will the family live in the future?

”Mom, I don’t know what I was thinking at the time. I really don’t know, Mom, what should I do now? I regret it, I truly regret it.”

Liang Lanqing also burst into tears after speaking, genuinely scared and regretful, not knowing what to do in the future.

Liang Lanqing’s big aunt looked at the two crying in her house, feeling very reluctant to speak. But at this moment, she couldn’t say anything.

Wu Fangyun looked at her daughter’s appearance, really not knowing what to do.

”Mei, do you have any ideas?” She grabbed her brother’s wife’s hand as if clutching a life-saving straw, her face full of helplessness and plea.

”Big sister, what can we do now? Actually, the best thing is to go to the factory tomorrow, have Xiaoqing give the job to Daliang, and then find a plain in-laws for Xiaoqing far away.

After all, there’s no wall in the world without holes for the wind to blow through, I’m just saying, you two mother and daughter should consider it.”

Wu Fangyun’s mind seemed to clear a bit after hearing her sister-in-law’s suggestion.

Yes, now the most important thing is the job. If the factory dismisses Xiaoqing, then there’s nothing left.

She suddenly got off the kang, ”Let’s go home, we’ll visit the director tonight. Now everything is ruined, this job absolutely must be kept.”

Liang Lanqing seemed to have an epiphany too, realizing that doing this was best for the family. So this time, she wasn’t reluctant.

The mother and daughter hurried back home without taking the luggage. It was left at the uncle’s house, and once the job matter was settled, Liang Lanqing would have to return there tomorrow. After all, she truly didn’t want or dare to stay in the city anymore.

The mother and daughter returned home to find the three men of the house inside, all staring at them.

Old Liang was now calm. He understood. Now, even if he beat the young woman to death, it had already happened. Nothing could change it.

”Old Liang, let’s think of a way; this job must be secured for Daliang.”

Old Liang sighed; he was an honest and straightforward person.

He stood up, said nothing, and walked out of the house.

Liang Lanqing, with teary eyes, watched her slightly hunched father’s back, suddenly wondering why she was such a beast.

Why did she become so possessed?

All the way, Old Liang pondered before finally mustering the courage to go see Director Zhang.

In fact, their previous relationship with the director was quite good, but Old Liang wasn’t good at maintaining relationships. However, those familiar with him knew his character.

Old Liang found it difficult to voice his request, simply lowering his head.

”Old Liang, I know why you’re here. Rest assured, I can handle this. Let Xiaoqing and Daliang come over tomorrow, but Daliang’s position won’t be particularly good.”

Old Liang nodded excitedly, ”Director Zhang, I understand, I know. Thank you. Thank you so much.”

”Alright, just do what you should do. The incident has already occurred. You need to know in your heart what to do next, right?”

”Sigh, what can I do? Give the job to Daliang, and find Xiaoqing a marriage, I guess.”

Director Zhang nodded. This family hadn’t completely lost their senses yet. They knew what to do.

Old Liang was now reassured. He had taken leave and didn’t want to stay here to be interrogated by everyone. So, after hearing the director’s words, he hurried home.

Wu Fangyun was extremely anxious at home, knowing that complaints wouldn’t help anymore.

After an hour, her husband returned.

”Old Liang, how did it go?”

”Director Zhang said to go to the factory tomorrow, and the job can be given to Daliang.”

Wu Fangyun patted her chest, tears falling again.

What would her young woman’s future be like? Initially, they planned to secure this job for her, allowing her to find a good family. Now everything was lost.

They had once arranged a good family for her, but that silly girl didn’t cherish it. Now, nothing is left.

Liang Lanqing heard her father’s words and also breathed a sigh of relief. That job was secured. Being dismissed would leave her with nothing.

Now she’s no longer fixated on keeping the job. She suddenly seemed enlightened and understood the situation.
