Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1443: Chapter 845: Stubborn

"Supervisor Lin, I’m here with the delivery." Seeing a woman in her thirties come out of the workshop, Yue Qin hurriedly grabbed the two bags and rushed over.

"Let me." Zhao Degang lunged forward, forcefully snatched the burlap sack, grinned at the woman, "Sis-in-law, hehe..."

"Gangzi, it’s you, oh, you’re pretty capable now." Supervisor Lin teased with a smile as she looked at Yue Qin, "Qinzi, you sure have some face."

Yue Qin hurriedly tried to explain: "I... I don’t know him."

"Oh..." Supervisor Lin drew out the sound meaningfully.

Yue Qin’s face flushed all the way to her ears. Saying she didn’t know him when he’d come over to help her drag the sack—wasn’t that just making it look even more suspicious?

"I... he..."

"Gangzi’s House and our place used to be neighbors. Later we moved into the factory compound, so we’ve been a bit farther apart, but the two families still kept in close touch.

Back then it was mostly Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao dropping by when they had nothing to do. As for Gangzi, he basically only came over at New Year or festivals. But these last few days, it’s like he’s turned into a different person, coming over whenever he does or doesn’t have anything to do, standing at the gate greeting everyone who passes by. People who don’t know better would think he’s the new security guard we hired, haha..."

Just then, Zhao Degang happened to drag the sack to the warehouse door. He turned back, looking at Supervisor Lin, embarrassed: "Sis-in-law, go easy on me."

Supervisor Lin narrowed her eyes with a smile: "All right, all right, all right, Sis-in-law is trying to help you here."

"I... I can do it myself." Yue Qin rushed forward in a fluster, pulled open the mouth of the sack, and started taking the toys out one by one.

"Xiao Qing, come over here." Supervisor Lin waved at a young girl who was busy packing toys, "Check the goods, and once the payment is settled, send it to my office." With that, she tugged Yue Qin outside. "Come warm up a bit in my office. Look at what the cold’s done to your face. A woman shouldn’t treat herself like this."

"Supervisor Lin, I..." Yue Qin instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Don’t worry, Gangzi won’t follow us. Let him stay here and help check the goods." Supervisor Lin didn’t care whether Yue Qin was willing or not; she just dragged her out of the warehouse by force.

Yue Qin sneaked a glance at Zhao Degang, and her eyes happened to meet his. She was so startled she whipped her head back around. Behind her she immediately heard Zhao Degang’s silly chuckle.

Supervisor Lin turned back and shot Zhao Degang a glare, then pulled Yue Qin along faster. Once they reached the office, she first poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Yue Qin: "Warm yourself up."

"Thank you, Supervisor Lin." Yue Qin took the water, said her thanks, and sipped it in small gulps.

She’d been rushing piecework for this toy factory for more than two years now. Though she and this Supervisor Lin couldn’t exactly be called friends, they were quite familiar with each other. She could more or less guess why the other woman had pulled her in.

Because she loves Qi Xing deeply, everything she’s done for the Qi Family, she’s done willingly. But faced with this kind of situation, she couldn’t help feeling bitter inside.

What woman doesn’t want to stay by the side of the man she loves? Of course, this kind of thought only popped up once in a while. She knew perfectly well what Qi Xing was going through now, so she naturally wouldn’t add to his troubles.

In this lifetime, just being able to marry him was already like a blessing from the gods. As for anything else, she really didn’t dare ask for more. But right now, what excuse could she possibly find to brush things off?

The rumors outside were already extremely ugly. Some said the Qi Family wouldn’t let her leave so she could help them earn money. Some said she didn’t even remember her own surname anymore and had no idea what kind of man she should be looking for. Others said she stayed with the Qi Family because she was thinking about marrying into them a second time... In short, none of the talk was pleasant.

Precisely because of that, she was even more afraid of letting outsiders know about her relationship with Qi Xing. If they did, people’s spit alone would drown her.

This kind of relationship isn’t something just anyone can accept.

Back then, if Qi Xing hadn’t threatened her with his own life, she would never have agreed. But she also had to admit, if there hadn’t been that faint longing in her heart all along, she wouldn’t have gone along with him.

Anyway, now that things had come to this, even if they couldn’t go public, she was still living very happily. She didn’t want the Qi Family to suffer even the slightest harm because of her. So how should she explain things?

Seeing Yue Qin set down the cup, Supervisor Lin smiled and started: "Yue Qin, we’ve been working together for more than two years now. To be honest, in all the villages around here, no one’s more capable at taking goods than you. Whoever marries a wife like you, that’s their ancestors piling on blessings."

Yue Qin smiled shyly: "You’re flattering me, Supervisor Lin."

"All right, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Like I said just now, Gangzi’s House and our family used to be neighbors. When I married in, he was just past ten. You could say I watched him grow up."
