Chapter 436 Leaving
Everyone speaks ill of Sun Guihua. She used to despise her mentally challenged son so much, but now he's a college student.

Both husband and wife are college graduates.

Sun Guihua offered Dong Liangcheng ten yuan, but he refused.

She ran over and knelt in front of Shen Jinju, slapping herself in the face. "Jinju, I know Liangcheng has always only listened to you. Talk to him nicely. I'm his mother, after all. I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. How come he forgets his roots now that he's in college?"

"Pah!" Zhou Guizhi said, "How dare you say that Liangcheng has forgotten his roots? Back then, even your daughter bullied that couple. Liangcheng is stupid, but you treat him like a beast of burden?"
"Shen Zhiqing was pregnant, and your daughter pushed her so hard she miscarried. If it weren't for my Huanhuan, you were even planning to kill Shen Zhiqing. Now you're bringing up forgetting your roots? Have you no shame?"

Ever since the two families had a falling out, Zhou Guizhi and Sun Guihua have been fighting whenever they meet.

Now is a perfect opportunity to kick someone when they're down, how could Zhou Guizhi possibly let it pass?
Sun Guihua was furious. "Zhou Guizhi, you bastard, what does my family's business have to do with you? Get out of here and stop stirring up trouble."

Zhou Guizhi laughed and said, "Oh, so you know you're a piece of shit, huh? No wonder you smell so bad!"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Sun Guihua lunged at Zhou Guizhi, yelling, "I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard!"

"Ouch! Someone's going to be killed! Sun Guihua's going to kill someone!"

Despite the shouts, Zhou Guizhi retaliated without mercy, and the two fought fiercely.

This farce also helped Shen Jinju and her husband out of a predicament.

Afterwards, Shen Jinju specially brought a pound of sugar and a can of food to thank Zhou Guizhi.

Zhou Guizhi refused to accept it, but Shen Jinju was very sincere. "I came to Shangjiang Brigade and I don't know anyone here. My aunt taught me how to plant the first rice seedlings."

"I married Dong Liangcheng, and I was so distraught that I wanted to jump into the river. My aunt told me that there were plenty of capable men in Shangjiang Brigade who didn't know how to cherish their wives, and that Dong Liangcheng was a kind man. She said if I treated him well, he would know what was good for him."

She covered her face and cried, "I've finally come out on top after all my suffering, but without my aunt and Xu Zhiqing, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Zhou Guizhi taught her, "Don't tell anyone outside which university you got into, lest your old hag comes after you again."

Shen Jinju was extremely grateful. "We didn't tell anyone."

Only a very few people know this.

Sun Guihua had no intention of letting Shen Jinju and Dong Liangcheng go to university. Such a good opportunity should be given to Dong Jincheng. She went to Dong Liangcheng's house to talk to him, but found that the house was empty.

Around four in the morning, the couple took their child and left Shangjiang Brigade.

Sun Guihua hurried to find Dong Tiejun, the newly elected brigade leader of Shangjiang Brigade. His wife was Ye Qiugui, a veteran of the Four Sisters Garment Factory.

“They’re going on a long trip, so they need to come to you for a letter of introduction, right? Do you even know where they’re going to university?” Sun Guihua asked angrily.

Although Dong Tiejun is honest, he is not stupid. "The introduction letters of this batch of new college students were stamped together. Uncle Baohua and Xingye were in charge of checking them. I am new to the job and not familiar with the business, so I am not very clear about it."

How could he not know? He had read every letter of introduction over and over again. He knew exactly who got into which university because he was so envious.

Dong Jincheng said, "The letter of introduction should be kept on file by the production team. Take a look at the file and show it to me."

Dong Tiejun said, "I already said that this is Uncle Baohua's responsibility. The records have all been taken to the commune by Uncle Baohua. I don't have any of them here." He spread his hands, and his expression didn't seem to be faking it.

Sun Guihua dared not go to Jiang Baohua; even if she did, Zhou Guizhi would not let her succeed.

“You heartless bastards! Liangcheng is my son! He’s been admitted to university and he doesn’t recognize me anymore. You don’t say a word of justice. You only know how to help them, just because they are university students?” Sun Guihua sat at the entrance of the brigade office and wailed loudly.

Xu Qinghuan and her two companions were also about to leave home.

These past two days, Zhou Guizhi and her two daughters-in-law have been extremely busy, packing luggage for the three of them and preparing some dry food for their journey.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Auntie, don't make so much. There's a dining car on the train. If you get hungry, just go to the dining car and buy something hot to eat. In this cold weather, the dry food is all hard and hard, and it's not good for your stomach."

"If I make less, what if I get hungry and the food cart hasn't started serving meals yet? Then I'll just go hungry."

The old lady called Xu Qinghuan over to discuss it, saying, "You two are going to school, and you have two kids. Your grandfather and I are getting old. Even if we wanted to help you take care of the children, we probably wouldn't be able to, and you would have to take care of them instead."

I was thinking, once you go to the city, you'll need to find someone to lend a hand. It's better to find someone you know than someone you don't know, especially since it involves the child. If something goes wrong, no one will ever have peace of mind for the rest of their life.”

This is also a question that Xu Qinghuan has been thinking about. "We all listen to Grandma. Even if you don't say anything, I still want to ask for your opinion."

The old lady said, "I've already spoken to your eldest sister. She'll go and help you take care of the kids for the next couple of years. She can come back when the kids are a bit older. Your grandfather and I will cover whatever she earns at the factory."

How could Xu Qinghuan possibly be short a few hundred yuan? "Grandma, there's absolutely no reason for you to pay for this."

The old lady said, "First, your grandfather and I have some money, which we don't usually need. Second, it's only natural for elders to take care of their grandchildren. Xiao Wu didn't have good parents; it's his bad luck. We can't let him be a burden to you."

"Grandma, it's too formal for a couple to divide these things between themselves. This isn't what A-Ye wanted either. My dad is still young, but he can't help us take care of the kids!"

The old man said from the side, "We'll help you out if we can. We know you're a good kid and won't hold these things against you, but we elders can't be unaware of these things."

Xu Qinghuan said, "I would be more than happy if my older sister came with us. We have a house in Yancheng, which is very close to the school. Aye and I won't be living at school; we'll be home every morning and evening. However, I'm worried that my older sister won't be able to manage taking care of two children by herself."

Grandpa, Grandma, since we're on the topic, I won't stand on ceremony. Could you two come and live with us for a few years? Once the children are grown, you can either come back or stay with us as usual!

The old lady was somewhat tempted, because her two great-grandsons grew up in her presence during the time when she was in the best of health. She had helped them out a lot and they had a deep bond. She would definitely miss seeing them all year round.

The old man pondered for a moment, "So many people live in Yancheng, and with so many people, the expenses are also very high."

Xu Qinghuan said, "You don't need to worry about that. Our house is a five-courtyard siheyuan. We usually just close the door and let the two younger ones make a fuss at home. You two can help keep an eye on them. The eldest sister can also free up some hands to help with housework. I give her a salary of forty yuan a month so she can take Yinzi with her and let her go to school there."

The old lady looked at the old man.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Grandpa, I'm not trying to belittle people from the countryside. In terms of openness of mind, Yancheng is definitely more tolerant than here. My eldest sister is divorced, but she's so young. She can't raise a child alone for the rest of her life. If she meets someone good in the future, I think she can take a step forward. You two can go there and help arrange these things."

Now, the two elders are most worried about Jiang Xingye and Jiang Xinglan. After thinking for a moment, the old man nodded.

 First update!
  It will be finished in a few more days.
