Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Bringing Good News

"Teacher Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

"Leader, I just wanted to say that everything happens for a reason. If it weren’t for these people trying to make things difficult for ordinary folks under the guise of public authority, would there be any resistance?"

Xing Zhibin chuckled to himself. She’s quite a formidable person.

He raised his hand to check the time. "It’s too late; we’ll deal with this tomorrow."

Jiang Xinyu smiled. She understood Xing Zhibin. In fact, he’s right. Everyone knows about his good relationship with Li Yunqiao.

It’s better to let someone else handle this; with him around, others wouldn’t dare to make things too difficult.

Jiang Xinyu glanced at Wei Kaiyun. "You should go home, or the kids will worry."

"Let’s all head home and come back in the morning."

Li Yungui also stood up. "Yes, let’s all go home and come back before work tomorrow. Is that okay, leader?"

"That’s fine. Everyone go back, and drive the tractor back too."

They let the Red Army drive the tractor, with Li Yunqiang tagging along. After all, the tractor couldn’t keep up with cars, and they weren’t comfortable leaving the young Red Army driving alone.

"Xiao Jiang, you have to come tomorrow. Xiao Wei can’t speak without you."

"Are you saying I’m just being unreasonable without me?"

"But I think you’re not unreasonable, you actually make a lot of sense."

"Alright, I’ll come over tomorrow."

"Xiao Wei, let’s head straight to Jin Family Village. Even though it’s late, we should still go and share the good news."

Wei Kaiyun had no objections. Going to Jin Family Village would only delay getting home by an hour.

Wang Shulin was already asleep. The knocking startled him. What’s going on so late at night? Why is someone knocking at this hour?

"Old Wang, it’s me, Li Yungui."

Wang Shulin was relieved. He ran to open the door. "What’s up? What’s going on at this hour?"

"I’m here to share some good news. My elder brother and sister-in-law just had a son tonight."

Wang Shulin laughed, "Haha, that’s indeed wonderful news."

"Old Wang, I need to head back. We’ll catch up another time."

"Alright, we’re going to the city tomorrow. I’ll go tell my aunt’s family now. She’ll be at ease now."

Wang Shulin didn’t even go back inside. He hurried over to his aunt’s house.

Even though everyone was asleep, he wanted to share the good news now, so it wouldn’t delay them going to the city in the morning.

Aunt Wang was overwhelmed with tears of joy when she heard the news. At her age, her biggest worry was her daughter. Although her daughter was married, the man was not young anymore. It’s not easy to grow old together. He already had four children who weren’t her daughter’s biological children.

When they truly grow old and the man passes away first, what would her daughter do? Counting on stepchildren to care for her? It’s unrealistic.

Now with her own son, even if she’s left alone in the future, she doesn’t have to worry.

"Aunt, this is happy news."

"Yes, it’s happy news. I’m happy about it. I’ll also head to the city tomorrow."

No one in the Lu Family dared to oppose it. Wang Shulin had no choice but to persuade her, "Aunt, it’s better to wait for Fengzhen to come back. Once the child is a month old, they’ll definitely visit the grandma’s house. You’ll get to see both the child and Fengzhen then.

You’re already quite old and get carsick. Better to wait at home."

Then Lu the Elder’s wife chimed in, "Mom, the five of us daughters-in-law will go. It’s the same with us.

Besides, Fengzhen will definitely return after the month."

"Shulin, can we take a cart? Let’s leave early? Let the elder brother drive the cart, we’ll set off now, and we’ll arrive by dawn."

No one objected this time, and they all agreed.

"Aunt, it’s kind of early now."

"Not early, not early. We have a flashlight at home to light the way." The old lady had thought of everything.

Wang Shulin felt helpless. At her age, even though they couldn’t force her not to go, just let her if she wants to.

"Big Cousin, you tidy up at home. I’ll get the cart for you. Take your time on the way, don’t rush."

"Alright."

In the end, the five daughters-in-law, Lu the Elder who drove the cart, and Aunt Wang made seven people in total.

The cart was loaded with a bag of white flour, a bag of sweet potato flour, a bag of sorghum rice, and a bag of cornmeal.

That’s enough grain to last a whole family a month. But with a good harvest this year, the daughters-in-law didn’t dare say anything, despite their opinions.

The old lady had a basket on her lap, filled with eggs she’d saved up.

Wei Kaiyun drove to Li Yungui’s doorstep and agreed to leave at 5:30 the next morning. Then he went home.

Li Yungui had just arrived home and was recounting the day’s events to Qu Xiaoli when Xiang Dong came by.

"It’s okay, your dad and the Red Army will be home soon too.

Xiang Dong, go call your Uncle Cunshan."

Hearing that his dad would be home soon, Xiang Dong was reassured.

He quickly ran off to call Li Cunshan.

"Xiang Dong, what’s with your second uncle?"

"My dad and the Red Army aren’t back yet. Master Wei drove to the city, and they just returned. My dad and the others are behind, driving a tractor."

Li Cunshan arrived at Li Yungui’s house and saw all the children were there.

"Alright, everyone go to sleep, there’s nothing to worry about."

The children greeted Li Cunshan and left, but none went to bed; they all waited for the Red Army.

Li Xue had already cried, worried sick about her brother not being home yet, but didn’t dare show it to her family.

Knowing that the Red Army was safe and that Aunt Lu had given birth to a son for dad, she was reassured. Yet, thinking about going to the city tomorrow, she ground her teeth with annoyance. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Li Yungui recounted the day’s events to Li Cunshan, who instantly flared up. "It’s really giving Tang Manyin face; it’s alright, tomorrow we’ll still bring the watermelons. This time, I’ll go with you.

We only have three truckloads of watermelons left to sell. By then, our whole village, young and old, will drive the tractors to Tangjiazhuang."

"Brother Cunshan, if you’re going to the city tomorrow, I’ll be bothering you at home."

"It’s no trouble; I’ve arranged everything. With Xiao Dong and the others around, everything will be fine."

Just then, they heard the sound of the tractor, knowing that father and son had returned home.

Li Yunqiang didn’t go home but came directly to his second brother’s house with the Red Army.

As he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of food, feeling grateful. His second brother had good taste; his second sister-in-law always put the second brother first.

Qu Xiaoli, knowing they’d arrived, rushed out, grabbing Red Army and inspecting him.

"Second Aunt, I’m alright. Even if it came to a fight, they wouldn’t stand a chance."

"Nonsense, how many people did they have? You can’t keep doing this in the future. It’s just you and your dad. I heard from your second uncle there were eight of them. What if you got hurt?

No worries now. Go take a shower, the food will be ready soon."
