Chapter 233: Chen Hong Is About to Give Birth

Xu Damao finally, in a shout, "Zhu Ye, spare my life," escaped the sea of suffering.

Pushing his bicycle, he walked unsteadily, his three views are now shattered.

Even the esteemed Lou Bancheng actually can't defeat a cook.

He returned home, dazed and disoriented.

Seeing Xu Damao's bruised and swollen face, Lou Xiao'e said heartbrokenly.

"Who hit you? Come on, let's go find him."

Xu Damao grabbed Lou Xiao'e.

He told the whole story.

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu hit Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e also calmed down.

"I told you not to provoke him; you didn't listen, look, you're unlucky now."

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e.

"Ezi, I can't swallow this anger; go have my father-in-law vent it for me."

Lou Xiao'e heard this, wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Damao, seeing this, felt his heart tighten: "No way, is it really true? Even the esteemed Lou Bancheng can't Household Chores a cook?"

"What's wrong, this makes you very embarrassed?"

Lou Xiao'e sighed.

"Damao, to Household Chores Sha Zhu, it's not difficult."

"But Father won't use means over such a small matter."

"Now is not the past; now using some connections will incur a huge cost."

"Household Chores Sha Zhu is simple, but the loss and impact caused are not simple."

"These connections are reserved for saving lives, not for reckless bravery."

"If not Sha Zhu, then Yang Factory Director; we Lou Family dare to act, but after acting, we couldn't stay in Jingcheng."

Xu Damao, after hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, also understood the Lou Family's situation.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse; whoever dares to bully the Lou Family must consider whether they can withstand the Lou Family's retaliation.

But at the same time, for small matters, the Lou Family must endure, cannot launch major hostilities.

"In other words, this beating of mine was for nothing, right?"

Lou Xiao'e said helplessly.

"The key is you're not in the right; if you were in the right, we really wouldn't fear them."

"But if you're not in the right, we also wouldn't dare to take the lead."

"Over these years, there haven't been few people who were criticized and struggled."

"Even some eminent figures who returned to the country and made great contributions couldn't escape; do you think our Lou Family can rely on past ties to do as we please?"

She never leaves the gate all day; why? Nothing else but not wanting to cause trouble.

Xu Damao was angry to the point of liver pain; he hadn't felt this feeling in a long time.

"Looks like to take revenge, we still have to rely on Yang Qing."

"But Yang Qing seems to also have a decent relationship with Sha Zhu."

"No, Yang Qing had Sha Zhu investigate the saboteur, but Sha Zhu still hasn't sent word."

"Back then, I was angry that Yang Qing and Sha Zhu were too close, so I forgot this matter."

"Hehe, Sha Zhu, I want to see who ruined Yang Qing's good fortune back then."

"Sha Zhu can't find it? Xu Damao doesn't believe it; he can only say that He Yuzhu doesn't want to investigate for Yang Qing, or that he knows the person but is unwilling to tell Yang Qing."

Next, Xu Damao began to re-investigate the matter of Yang Qing being driven out of the steel mill back then.

This time, because a long time has passed, many people no longer care, information gathering is easy, plus Xu Damao investigated very seriously this time.

Gradually, the matter began to have clues.

Yang Qing didn't know what happened between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

He is now accompanying Chen Hong in the hospital as she awaits delivery.

Yang Qing calculated everything, but ultimately still didn't anticipate that the child would be a bit grown.

The elderly lady, fearing danger, early on had Chen Hong admitted to the hospital.

Yang Qing also delegated the matter to Wan Ling and Lei Gensheng.

He wants to accompany the birth peacefully.

Chen Hong, being served by the elderly lady and Yang Qing, felt very speechless.

"There are still several days; you guys guard me every day, what's the deal?"

"I exercise every day, my body is excellent, really no problem."

Yang Qing scratched his head.

"Wife, this is our first time; be careful, no big mistake."

"By the way, when did our mom say she'd arrive?"

"I'll go pick them up, don't let them get lost."

Chen Hong calculated the days.

"It's just these few days; later you make a call to confirm the date."

"My mother has never gone far, and I don't know if she'll get lost."

Yang Qing comforted her.

"Like this, I'll go make a call in a moment to confirm the date."

"Grandma, you shouldn't stay here either; it's too exhausting here. Go home first, and when Chen Hong is about to give birth, I'll come pick you up."

"The old lady was very stubborn."

"It's fine, I can handle it."

"The old lady's vitality this year isn't as good as last year's, but Yang Qing could still tell."

"He had also taken her to see an old Chinese doctor; the old master said her body was fine, it's just that she's reached this age."

"How could Yang Qing possibly let her continue to wear herself out here?"

"Grandma, you being here means Chen Hong still has to look after you, which actually prevents her from resting well."

"You'd be better off going home to rest properly; then Chen Hong won't have to worry about you."

"When it's almost time for her to give birth, I'll come pick you up again."

"Upon hearing Yang Qing say that, the old lady finally agreed to go home."

"Yang Qing first sent the old lady home, then went to the post office."

"Their village still doesn't have a telephone."

"To make a call, one would have to go to the town, and the round trip would waste several hours."

"Waiting here myself isn't useful; it's better to send a telegram."

"The telegram that comes back will also be delivered by someone."

"After sending the telegram, Yang Qing left his address at the hospital so that no one would go to the courtyard and fail to find anyone."

"After finishing his errands, Yang Qing hurried back to the hospital."

"The next day."

"Yang Qing then received the telegram."

"Our mother said she'd arrive in Jingcheng in two days."

"We've already asked someone to buy the train tickets."

"She'll arrive in the afternoon."

"The doctor said, in another three or four days, you'll be about ready."

"Our mother's arrival is perfectly timed."

"Chen Hong felt a little excited; she hadn't seen her own mother in a long time."

"Since fleeing the famine, it's been almost three years now."

"We also don't know how her mother and younger brother are doing."

"Yang Qing, you say after my mother comes, will she stay or not?"

"Yang Qing wouldn't know that."

"Your younger brother is also coming; they don't want to stay, but we want to find a way to keep them here."

"Besides, your younger brother is about to take the college entrance exam, isn't he?"

"If he gets into a school in Jingcheng, he'll have to come here anyway."

"Chen Hong shook her head, lacking confidence."

"College is so hard; how could it possibly be that easy?"

"Moreover, if he goes to college, he might go to He River University, and then not come to Jingcheng."

"Yang Qing didn't know what to say."

"Is Jingcheng not good?"

"Chen Hong let out a sigh."

"Getting into Jingcheng is that easy? He River University recruits more people from our province."

"It's the first choice for people from our area."

"(He River University is very impressive, but later it was split up heavily, so it gradually became less famous.)"

"Then if they come, we'll persuade them; who knows, maybe he'll want to come to Jingcheng again?"

"That's one thing, this is another."

"Before, he didn't know anyone in Jingcheng, but now he has you, doesn't he?"

"Chen Hong, however, wasn't so optimistic; she had something unsaid—her mother didn't like Yang Qing's background."
