Chapter 170 Exposed
Zhuang Xien shook his head and advised: "Xiaoqin, we can't have this child. This is an accident. You know it's difficult for me to handle this. How can I explain it to Wen Qing?"
Yang Xiaoqin's face turned even paler. She looked up at Zhuang Xien and said, "Cousin, I don't blame you. I will raise him myself."
She begged again, "I have already lost a child, please let me give birth to the child."
At this time, Wen Qing pushed the door open and walked in. "Zhuang Xien, I don't need you to tell me anything. I heard everything."
After saying that, he slapped Zhuang Xien.
Yang Xiaojun quickly ran from the living room into the kitchen, "Cousin, calm down."
Earlier, Wen Qing went upstairs to rest and did not notice the movement downstairs. Later, the voice of Yang Xiaojun caught her attention. She released her mental power and her hearing became particularly sharp. She heard everything she should and should not have heard.
When Zhuang's father and mother heard the noise downstairs, they hurried downstairs and found out that Yang Xiaoqin was pregnant with Zhuang Xien's child. They were overjoyed and pulled Yang Xiaoqin over. They looked at Wen Qing hatefully and said, "Don't be afraid of her. Your cousin will support you."
Wen Qing said: "Zhuang Xien, I didn't realize you were quite capable and you still want to enjoy the blessing of having two wives."
Zhuang Xien didn't have much education. He joined the army after graduating from junior high school. He didn't understand what it meant to have a happy marriage. He just felt that it must not be a good thing. "Xiao Qing, please forgive me this time. I will take care of it."
Yang Xiaoqin rushed to Wen Qing, knelt down, and begged, "Cousin, it's all my fault, please don't hurt my child."
Mother Zhuang said anxiously, "Old Master's wife, you didn't give us a grandson, and now you are forcing others to abort our grandson. You are too cruel."
Wen Qing stood up and said, "So this is still my fault?"
She went upstairs to get her handbag and car keys, pushed her bicycle out, and went straight back to the courtyard in Huashuijing Lane.
Zhuang's mother said to Zhuang Xien, "Don't force Xiaoqin to have an abortion. If you don't want this child, we want it."
Then he said to Xiaoqin: "Come back to our hometown with us and live in our house."
If Yang Xiaoqin, a divorced woman, suddenly returned to her hometown with a big belly, it would definitely cause an uproar, and the villagers would drown her in saliva.
Living in the banker's house and having the banker's support would be a little better.
Zhuang Xien was just thinking in his heart how to send Yang Xiaoqin away and how to win back Wen Qing's heart.
What no one expected was that the next day, Wen Qing had just arrived at the District Industrial Bureau for work and was writing a report when she heard a commotion outside, including the sound of a woman crying. This attracted the attention of Directors Ye and Li, who sent someone to see what was going on.
The footsteps outside continued to the director's office. Wen Qing didn't like to join in the fun and just buried her head in her work. After a while, Dong Yali came in and called her, "Xiao Wen, Director Ye wants you to go to his office."
Wen Qing put down her pen and went to Director Ye's office, where she saw Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang sitting. She asked, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
Zhuang's father said, "Xiaoqing, you ran away from home yesterday. We were worried, so we came to your workplace to check on you."
Zhuang's mother said, "Xiao Wen, what you did was wrong. Normally, you would be rude to us two old people. We are your elders and we won't argue with you. But Sean is your man, and you hit him. What daughter-in-law would be like this?"
When Director Ye heard that Wen Qing beat a man, he couldn't help but look at her.
Wen Qing looked at the two of them without saying anything.
Zhuang's father said, "When Sean was not at home, you abused us and we had no choice but to endure it."
Zhuang's mother said, "We didn't take it to heart that a daughter-in-law doesn't respect her elders, Wen Qing. But how can we be at ease when you treat Xien like this?"
Wen Qing laughed angrily and said, "You said I abused you, do you have any evidence?"
Zhuang's mother said, "You don't give us wages and don't let us manage the household. That's abuse. How can parents-in-law listen to their daughter-in-law?"
Wen Qing said, "Didn't I give you pocket money? You want my salary? You're dreaming. Go ask your son for it."
Director Ye guessed the reason why these two old men came here. They wanted to force Wen Qing to hand over his salary.
I only heard Zhuang's father say: "You make us eat leftovers every day, what else is this but abuse?"
Wen Qing laughed, "Dad, you are too confusing right and wrong. I buy groceries and cook meals every day after get off work. What housework is not done by me? I even wash your underwear. I have never seen such shameless people like you."
She didn't want to endure it anymore.
Zhuang's father's face darkened. "You cooked for dinner, but what about lunch? We all ate leftovers."
Wen Qing said, "I asked Mrs. Wu to cook for me at noon, so please don't confuse right and wrong."
Zhuang's father said, "What about Sunday? As soon as Sunday comes, you rush to do your business and ignore the elderly at home."
Wen Qing said: "I am in trouble. Are you missing a hand or a foot? Do you want me to serve you?"
Zhuang's father said, "Comrade Director, do you think people who work can still do business?"
Wen Qing's heart trembled. She had never considered whether she could still do business privately after working in the Industrial Bureau?
Director Ye said: "Old comrade, we need to understand this question clearly before we can answer it."
Father Zhuang looked at Wen Qing proudly and said, "I told you that young people should focus on their work and leave the business to others."
Wen Qing remained calm, "Any other requests?"
Zhuang's mother said, "Go and apologize to Sean, and give me your salary every month."
Director Ye said, "Old lady, this is a new society. There is no rule that children should give all their wages to their parents. We should discuss family matters and care about each other."
When Director Li heard that these two people wanted her daughter-in-law to give them her salary, she felt very disgusted. If her parents-in-law said so, it would be strange if she didn't scold them.
But this is someone else's business and should not affect everyone's work.
So he asked Dong Yali to send the two away. When they were leaving, Zhuang's father said to Wen Qing smugly, "Xiao Qing, you should listen to Dad and leave the business to Dad. We are a family. Dad has nothing to gain from you. He is here to help you. You should trust Dad."
Wen Qing was too lazy to pay attention to them and turned back to the office.
She was recalling the regulations regarding civil servants running businesses. It seemed that before 2000, there was no requirement that civil servants could not do business or run enterprises. It was only stipulated that civil servants above a certain level could not speculate in stocks.
Another ten years later, there was a regulation prohibiting civil servants from engaging in business. I wonder what the situation is now?
Alas, she really didn’t know what the regulations were in the 1980s.
In the evening, Zhuang's father and mother said to Zhuang Xien, "Boss, don't worry, we will go to Wen Qing's workplace and report her. Their leaders will definitely criticize her."
Zhuang Xien asked about the details, and his father told him the whole process. His mother said, "Her boss will definitely criticize her now, and she will definitely apologize to you."
Zhuang Xien was overwhelmed. "Dad, Mom, you shouldn't tell her about this at work. After all, I am the one who is sorry for Xiaoqing."
Zhuang's mother: "We will raise the child in the future. It won't hinder her in any way. She can't give birth herself. Don't let you be without descendants."
Seeing that his words were not working, Zhuang Xien said, "You guys go back to your hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival first. I'll figure out a way to deal with Wen Qing's situation."
Then he said to Yang Xiaoqin and Yang Xiaojun, "You go back with my parents first. Xiaoqin, think about it again. We can't keep this child."
Yang Xiaojun said angrily: "You have harmed my sister, and you want her to bear the responsibility alone. Are you still a human being?"
Zhuang Xien sent Zhuang's father and mother away and asked them to buy groceries and cook. He said to Yang Xiaoqin, "It's not that I don't want to be responsible. I'm just worried about your future life."
Yang Xiaoqin raised her head, "Cousin, are you blaming me?"
Zhuang Xien said: "Our relationship is a mistake, Xiaoqin, I am sorry for you."
Go upstairs, pick up the handbag and come down, take out 10,000 yuan from it, and hand it to Yang Xiaoqin, "This is for your health."
Yang Xiaoqin declined, "No, I don't want you to control me."
Yang Xiaojun took the money and said, "Sister, you don't have a job and you don't have a home, how are you going to support your children?"
Turning to Zhuang Xien, he said, "Don't think that this will be alright!"
