"Why is the weather so gloomy today, Yue'e? Don't forget to bring an umbrella when you go to work." Xia Yue'e looked outside and saw that the strong wind had blown many leaves down.
Grandma Xia responded and, seeing the strong wind, moved several potted plants she kept by the river behind the door into the house. "The weather changes so quickly. Yesterday it was sunny, but today it looks like it's going to pour rain."
Xia Yu'e: "If you don't have anything else important to do, try not to go out. The wind is too strong."
Grandma Xia nodded, "Hold a meeting with my subordinates today to decide on the next steps. Once it's decided, report it to the factory manager."
Xia Yu'e coughed a few times. "The weather is bad, and I'm coughing again. Don't keep arguing with Director Song. He's the leader and you're just a subordinate. You should be more humble. He's also tired now that he's working with Xiang Bei."
Grandma Xia: "He's tired, but I think he's enjoying it. Okay, I know. Wear more clothes. Even though it's hot, coughing all the time isn't good. I'll take you to the hospital on your day off."
Xia Yu'e: "It's not that precious. I went to see a doctor myself. It's just a minor ailment caused by a cold draft. I've already prepared the medicine."
Grandma Xia pulled her sister aside to look at her complexion, which seemed alright. "Then don't go out today. Close the doors and windows and rest more."
After Old Lady Xia left, Xia Yu'e took out a calligraphy copybook and began to write stroke by stroke.
When Grandma Xia arrived at the factory, she immediately got to work with great enthusiasm. She had recently resolved many issues, and their textile factory's reputation had spread far and wide. And don't think she was exaggerating; now, the women at their textile factory could go out with a lot of confidence.
The morning passed quickly, and after everyone in the meeting room had left, Grandma Xia prepared to go for lunch.
Before she could even grab her lunchbox, Chen Xiangbei came running over in a panic. "Mom, something's happened! My little brother outside said my second brother's been arrested."
Grandma Xia's aluminum lunchbox fell to the ground with a loud "bang".
She had just talked to Chen Xiangnan a few days ago, so how come she was arrested so suddenly when she just heard him say that he wanted to be a good father?
He was perfectly fine in the hospital, and then he got into trouble again?
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Xia grabbed Chen Xiangbei and started to walk out.
Chen Xiangbei was furious, his mouth never stopping as he said, "There's a woman named Zhao Hui. Because the father of her child is unknown, it got out and involved a lot of people, including my second brother. He was taken away from the hospital by the police this morning. My second brother is shameless. He caused this kind of trouble. My sister-in-law might as well divorce him."
Grandma Xia suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Father unknown, Zhao Hui?"
Chen Xiangbei gritted his teeth: "Yes, my younger brother said those men are all at the police station now. Zhao Hui's husband beat them up one by one, and my second brother was beaten too. They deserved it, they should have just killed them."
Grandma Xia: "Zhao Hui's husband?"
Chen Xiangbei's underlings found out everything about Zhao Hui in just one morning. "After Zhao Hui separated from her ex-husband, she got together with a bachelor from our suburbs. They say this guy is a bachelor."
After raising the child for over half a year, the man recently discovered that the child wasn't his, and he started making a scene. Zhao Hui herself didn't know who the father was, and seeing that someone was trying to arrest her, she went all in and exposed all the men she had previously been with.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Xiangbei immediately asked for leave for himself and Grandma Xia and rushed over to find the person.
The two hurriedly walked out together and bumped into a young man who looked anxious. He looked somewhat familiar, and before Grandma Xia could think, she heard him say, "Brother Xiangbei, something's happened. Your second sister-in-law is going into labor and is bleeding."
Grandma Xia's mind went blank. Trembling, she borrowed a bicycle from the security department and asked Chen Xiangbei to take her to the hospital to see Tang Jiao.
This is going to be a tragedy! Tang Jiao is still two months away from giving birth, isn't it premature if she gives birth now?
Tang Jiao, what a good person she is, how could she be so blind? She's really going to be ruined by the second son.
Chen Xiangbei rode incredibly fast on his two front legs, not even saying a word. The most important thing now was not whether his second brother could get out, but whether Tang Jiao would be in trouble.
His second sister-in-law is such a good person, and their whole family are good people. Good people will never get into trouble. Even if something happens, it will be him, his second brother, or, if all else fails, his father.
With tears in his eyes, Chen Xiangbei bit his lip and pedaled furiously with all his might.
"What a tragedy, what a tragedy!" Old Mrs. Xia, a divorced, ambitious old woman who only wanted to make progress in the new era, sat on the back of the bicycle, praying to every god she knew in her heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Tang Jiao.
When they arrived at the hospital, the Tang family was there. Tang's mother's eyes were slightly red, as if she had already cried.
Grandma Xia came running over, asking, "How is she? How is Jiaojiao?"
When Tang's mother saw her, she was so angry that she rushed over and hit her, saying, "How could the good son you raised do such a thing?"
Grandma Xia let her hit her, "It's my fault, I didn't teach her well, it's... Jiaojiao, nothing can happen to her, nothing can happen to her."
Seeing that they were all angry, Chen Xiangbei knew that his second sister-in-law should still be in the operating room and he didn't know what was going on. It was understandable that the Tang family was angry, but his mother was also pitiful because she had been beaten. His second brother had done such a thing, causing his mother and everyone in the Tang family to end up like this.
"Auntie, if you want to hit me, hit me to vent your anger. It was my second brother who did this. Even if you beat him to death when he gets out, my family won't say a word." Chen Xiangbei shielded Old Lady Xia with his body.
Mr. Tang pulled Mrs. Tang back, "Alright, the most important thing now is to wait for Jiaojiao to come out."
Tang's mother started crying again, "She's so pregnant, if... if something happens, how am I supposed to live? This wretched girl, I chose her so carefully, why... why did she have to go with Chen Xiangnan?"
Grandma Xia's eyes also turned red.
Chen Xiangbei helped his mother sit down to the side. "Mom, everything will be alright, everything will definitely be alright."
Old Mrs. Xia cursed, "That bastard, that bastard, he makes a mistake and makes others pay for it. If something happens to Tang Jiao, how can I face his family in the future?"
Outside the operating room, some were crying, some were cursing, and everyone was anxious.
While Chen Xiangbei was worried, he also felt that the Tang family was truly kind. Even at a time like this, no one cursed his second brother for being a convict, nor did anyone curse him for not being a member of their family and wishing him to die.
He was just venting his anger, and he even criticized Tang Jiao the most for not recognizing people properly.
The operating room door opened, and everyone crowded around.
"Dr. Li, how is my Jiaojiao?"
"How is Jiaojiao? Is she safe?"
"Nothing happened, right? Nothing happened."
