Chapter 904: Chapter 904: Gaining Support
When Xinyan got home, Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing hadn’t returned yet.
Sister Chen was busy making dinner in the kitchen, so Xinyan sat on the swing in the yard, thinking about things while waiting for them to come back.
Unexpectedly, they came back together.
Xinyan looked at the two as they entered: "Dad, Mom, why did you come back together?"
Gu Wanqing didn’t answer, she looked somewhat embarrassedly at the man carrying her bag behind her.
Han Jingchen smiled, responding to his daughter: "Your mom is pregnant now, I was worried, so I picked her up on my way back home."
It was indeed convenient on the way back, it happened to be on the way.
Xinyan, eating a mouthful of ’dog food,’ nodded to show she understood.
Gu Wanqing held her daughter’s hand: "Yanyan, I brought you a gift back, see if you like it."
Xinyan acted spoiled: "What kind of gift?"
Gu Wanqing signaled Han Jingchen to bring the bag over, and they did not go inside but sat under the grape arbor in the yard.
When she saw the gift, Xinyan was a bit surprised: "This is?"
In her previous life, Xinyan was in dire straits at this time, but she wasn’t unfamiliar with this thing because Lyu Juncheng’s kids had used them.
But she didn’t expect that by this time, this thing was already available.
Surprised, she asked: "Is this a Walkman?"
Gu Wanqing smiled in her eyes: "You know it?"
Xinyan realized: "I’ve heard others talk about it, but it’s my first time seeing it."
Gu Wanqing didn’t think much of it, assuming someone at school had mentioned it, she smiled and said: "I had someone bring this back from abroad for you, it’s Sony’s newly released portable Walkman, it can help you study better."
Xinyan played with the Walkman, reluctant to part with it: "This thing came at just the right time, thank you, Mom."
Xinyan fiddled with it for a while and learned how to use it.
Han Jingchen affectionately remarked: "My young lady is smart."
Xinyan inwardly curled her lips, in her past life she hadn’t used one, but she had seen those little bastards use one.
Thinking of those little bastards, she remembered the letter from a few days ago from Zhao Jianlan. Yao Hui didn’t keep the baby in her belly, Lyu Xiangyang was naughty at home, Yao Hui chased him to spank him, but running too hastily after it had just rained and the ground was slippery, the baby was accidentally lost.
What was most important was that because of this fall, the doctor said Yao Hui wouldn’t easily get pregnant again. Lyu Juncheng was happy, but Yao Hui thoroughly hated them both.
Her bad attitude extended to Lyu Xiangliang and Lyu Xiangran, she had no good face for them either, cursing and smashing things at home every day, making the neighbors miserable too.
Plus, with Han Jingchen’s interference, Lyu Juncheng’s days at the factory were extremely awkward, low wages and the hardest and most tiring jobs, going home only to have Yao Hui never let him have peace, living in absolute misery.
He had no spirit or energy, very shabby, those Misses who had liked him were now all scared, each celebrating they hadn’t hooked up with Lyu Juncheng, or they would have regretted it.
Now Lyu Juncheng is a joke at the Mechanical Factory.
Those kids were also affected by the adults, they often fought at school due to others’ mocking.
Since Lyu Juncheng and the Yao Family have broken ties now, those kids visiting can’t get the Yao Family’s attention, plus the family atmosphere, those kids don’t even want to go to school.
Especially Lyu Xiangyang, who skips class frequently, and the teacher often visits the home.
Han Jingchen didn’t let the Yao Family off either, but didn’t make it as obvious, the Yao Family still felt it, now no good thing at the factory ever goes to them.
One or two times might be forgivable, but over a year, they have really been marginalized.
It was the Yao Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Dong Liping, who realized it first, spending the money they had saved over the years and borrowing some from her family, the couple found someone to change jobs, hoping to create a new life.
But, what Han Jingchen wants to do, he doesn’t let you succeed easily.
Dong Liping found even after changing jobs, things were not much better, very dejected, often returning to the Yao Family making trouble, the Yao Family’s days were also very tough.
Knowing they’re having a tough time, Xinyan’s mood was splendid, just short of celebrating with a drink.
Getting back to the topic, Han Jingchen looked at his daughter: "Didn’t you say you had plans these days and wouldn’t come back?"
Xinyan pretended to be annoyed: "What, you don’t want me to come back?"
Han Jingchen raised his hand and flicked his daughter’s forehead: "What are you thinking?"
Gu Wanqing watched the father and daughter fool around, her eyes filled with tenderness.
After father and daughter had enough of bantering, Xinyan spoke of her plans to lease the barren hillside.
Han Jingchen frowned: "Why do you have this idea?"
Xinyan knew they wouldn’t accept it so quickly, so she said slowly: "Times are not what they used to be, with the introduction of national policies, the quality of life for everyone will greatly improve.
I believe it won’t be long before the demand for vegetables, meats, poultry, eggs, and other daily necessities will increase significantly, the main thing is I love rural life, so I hope Dad and Mom can support me."
Gu Wanqing, hearing her daughter’s words, didn’t oppose it. She thought Xinyan was right, but she also knew the vast gap between dreams and success, so she raised many questions.
But she didn’t expect her daughter to answer fluently, clearly fully prepared and very confident.
She didn’t want to discourage her daughter: "Alright, Mom supports you, and the leasing fee will be my gift to you for growing up, you mustn’t refuse."
