Chapter 139 The Stepsister Moved Out by the Heroine 9

Wang Xiuxiu was suspended from school in her first year of high school. She was one year away from graduation and could no longer stay in school because the Red Guards were arresting people everywhere. All the teachers who had overseas connections and had studied abroad were arrested and criticized.

Sun's mother was worried about her daughter's safety at school, so she asked her to stop attending school and go home.

Wang Xiuxiu secretly used her connections with her class teacher to get the principal to relax the conditions, allowing her to graduate early and get her diploma.

"Xiu Xiu, why don't you go work for your father?" Sun's mother sat in the living room with her bulging belly, chatting with her daughter, holding blue cotton fabric in her hand to make small clothes.

Two months after Wang Zhizhi left, grandson's mother felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. They found out that she was three months pregnant. The couple was extremely surprised, especially Wang Deshun, who had always been looking forward to having a son so that he wouldn't have to envy other people's sons or grandsons.

Wang Deshun didn't want to work hard all his life only to have his house and money inherited by his nephew in the countryside. He had thought about asking Wang Zhizhi to find a loyal and honest son-in-law, but considering that sons-in-law were unreliable, he planned to let everything in the house be inherited by Wang Zhizhi's son. Unfortunately, Wang Zhizhi let him down.

Now that his wife is pregnant and they will have a son soon, he is in a very good mood. He goes to work with full energy every day and is not affected by the teasing of his coworkers.

"Mom, wait and see after you give birth to the baby." Wang Xiuxiu helped prepare diapers for the unborn brother and sister.

"If that doesn't work, you can take my job."

"Wife, look what I brought you?" Wang Deshun opened the door and asked Sun's mother happily.

"You're off work." Sun's mother is very satisfied with her current life. Before, Wang Deshun lived with her and took care of his daughter for her. He always hid things from her in private. Since she became pregnant, he gave all his salary to her.

"Today, a chef in the cafeteria cooked his best dish, pork stewed with vermicelli. I bought two servings and brought them back. You and Xiuxiu can eat more later." Wang Deshun put the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen to prepare hot steamed buns.

Wang Deshun brought over ten steamed buns and asked the mother and daughter to put down what they were holding and eat first.

Sun's mother looked at the pork stewed with vermicelli. There was mostly cabbage and vermicelli with a dozen or so slices of pork. It was also a good meat dish.

The family was having lunch happily.

Wang Zhizhi, who worked in the educated youth compound in Shanggang Village in Northeast China, came back after finishing her work in the fields and looked at the sweet potato porridge in her bowl. Her face turned bitter and she didn't want to drink this coarse grain porridge.

"This person just loves to enjoy himself and can't stand hardship." Yan Hui couldn't stand Wang Zhizhi who only cared about enjoying herself. She worked slowly in the educated youth compound but was very active in eating.

The educated youth looked at Yan Hui and did not stop her from saying that they could see that Wang Zhizhi was always avoiding work and running around in the past few months, and Wu Yu had been told by the village chief several times to keep a close eye on her.

In the afternoon, the village chief brought four new educated youth here again, this time there were two men and two women.

"These are some new educated youth. Please arrange their accommodation accordingly."

The village chief explained to several newly arrived educated youth that if they needed to borrow grain, they should go to the warehouse to register tomorrow and return it when the grain was distributed next time.

"Welcome comrades here." Wu Yu saw a girl inside wearing a light blue shirt without patches and black slim pants. Her hair was braided on both sides. She was young and beautiful, with fair skin, and seemed to be spoiled by her family and had never done housework.

The people in the educated youth compound thought the newcomers seemed to be wealthy and wanted to get some benefits from them.

"Thank you for your hard work, young educated person. Come here quickly. I will take you to the dormitory." Yan Hui's eyes flashed with shrewdness and she picked out the girl with a prominent family background.

"And this educated youth, are you tired? Let me help you carry your luggage."

Yan Hui did not exaggerate too much and also took into consideration the other female educated youth.

"Thank you," the other girl thanked her in a good-tempered manner.

The two female educated youth followed Yan Hui to the female dormitory to pack their luggage.

Two of the male educated youth had already been taken to the men's dormitory by Wu Yu to arrange beds.

After they all left, Wang Zhizhi stood behind the old educated youth Liu Meiling with her head down and remained silent.

She saw Fan Lina coming here too, her eyes flashing with jealousy and hatred, she had gone through a lot of hardships in the past few months, she had never done farm work before, but now she could do it. She was tanned, no longer fair and tender as when she first came, her hands were rough and covered with calluses, scratches and blisters.

With great expectations in her heart, Fan Lina also complained bitterly while working in the fields like her.

"Zhizhi, is that you?" Fan Lina put down her luggage and came out, just in time to see Wang Zhizhi in the yard.

Wang Zhizhi stopped stiffly and watched Fan Lina approach her.

Fan Lina couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Wang Zhizhi. If she wasn't very familiar with her, she wouldn't have recognized her at all.

The person in front of her looked exactly like the girl she had seen in the countryside before. Her fair face was now tanned and she was wearing tattered clothes.

"Where did you go before? I heard your father was in the hospital."

Wang Zhizhi's heart trembled when she heard that her father was hospitalized. She felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have been so decisive and should have left some way out. She was selfish and only cared about her own life. Now she didn't have much money, so she wanted to write a letter back to ask her father and stepmother to send her money.

"Now that we are both here, we can take care of each other." Fan Lina was in a good mood and held her hand. It was rare to meet a classmate here.

The family was now under close surveillance, so they had no choice but to arrange for her to go to the countryside as an educated youth, hiding there for a year or two before sending her back.

Wang Zhizhi thought that Fan Lina had a good family background and her family would definitely let her bring a lot of money, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.

But he said that he agreed with her, and the two of them took care of each other in the Youth League Home.

Wang Deshun walked back and forth nervously at the door of the hospital's delivery room with his hands clenched, staring at the door, listening to the sounds coming from inside.

Wang Xiuxiu was also looking towards the production room with concern.

After several hours of labor, the sound of a baby crying was suddenly heard.

When Wang Deshun heard the baby crying, he immediately stuck to the door excitedly to listen to what was happening inside.

After the nurse cleans the baby's vernix caseosa, wraps the baby in swaddling clothes and places it in the mother's arms.

"Congratulations, you gave birth to a 5.62 kg son."

Grandma Sun opened her eyes a little tiredly and looked at her son in her arms. She seemed very excited to have a son in her middle age.

The nurse cleaned up the mother and pushed the bed out of the delivery room.

"Old Wang, come and look at our son"

Wang Deshun ran to the bedside in an instant, looked at the mother and son in front of him who were speechless, and touched his son's face but dared not use too much force, tears flashing in his eyes.

"My dear, thank you so much"

"Mom, come and drink some chicken soup." Wang Xiuxiu brought the old hen that she had boiled for several hours and brought it to Sun's mother.

Wang Deshun took the chicken soup and prepared to feed it to his grandson's mother.

"I can do it myself," said Wang Deshun, who was not quite used to taking care of Grandma's mother.

"Old Wang, what should we name our son?"
