The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 331 - 321: United We Stand

Since a decision has been made, everyone also did a rough plan for the road ahead.

Jiang Yan and Yang Zhigang are both meticulous people who understand the national policies thoroughly.

Yang Zhigang decided to wait for an opportunity to resign once back. Given his position, any minor incident could easily be taken advantage of by others, so for Wang Pandi and the child’s safety, a clean break would be wiser.

Of course, if indeed he wants to take a gamble and maneuver a bit, there’s still some chance, but he can’t afford to gamble, nor does he want to.

Jiang Yan fully supports his decision; capable people can excel anywhere, they are not in a rush.

As for Wang Pandi, if the pregnancy sickness becomes really apparent, she has to be discreet to avoid trouble.

Besides, when the policy is first issued, it will certainly be very strict, so to be safe, they must be fully prepared.

With Cheng Xue and Wang Jia Bao’s wedding over, relatives gradually departed.

Two days later, only Wang Baoxing, Liu Yulan, and Yang Zhigang’s family of three remained.

They are the closest family members, and Wang Pandi’s situation wasn’t hidden from them.

Wang Baoxing and Liu Yulan were ecstatic to know Wang Pandi was pregnant. But hearing Yang Zhigang’s concerns, they immediately became anxious.

"How about this, Pandi, don’t go back. There are many people and gossip in the village, and those jealous of the Yang Family might cause trouble..." Liu Yulan was worried, the more she thought about it, the more she felt they shouldn’t return home.

"Yes, yes..." Wang Baoxing nodded in agreement, believing following his wife’s advice would be correct.

"Really? We’re all neighbors, it’s not that bad..." Cheng Xue was puzzled by Liu Yulan’s exaggerated actions.

"You’re still young and inexperienced, don’t understand the complexity of people’s hearts." Liu Yulan said earnestly, "With more people comes more trouble, no village is completely harmonious or friendly. There will be kind and upright people, but devious ones are never lacking."

"Moreover, your brother-in-law is an official, not too big nor too small. In recent years, the steel factory has recruited many people; those selected will naturally be grateful to him. But what about the families not selected? Who knows if they harbor resentment, waiting for your brother-in-law to make a mistake and pull him down... As long as there’s one such person, causing a fuss would give us a hard time. There’s no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days."

Liu Yulan’s words were mostly speculative, but not without reason...

The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat tense.

Wang Miaomiao murmured, "Better to prevent now than regret later, indeed, be cautious..."

Wang Pandi thought about how, over the years, some villagers took pleasure in her not conceiving. Everyone has two faces, cannot truly know their hearts...

"Then... what about my shop?" Wang Pandi was shaken; she just wanted to deliver the baby safely.

"Well, wherever you open a shop, it’s opening a shop. Simply transfer the one there out, now you’re pregnant and can’t do much work, better to start another after childbirth." Cheng Xue thought simply, her eyes gleamed with a suggestion, "Why don’t we move to Beijing, where parents and sister’s family can settle, so we can take care of each other. My place is large, just stay there, the house can be livelier."

Cheng Xue was sincere; she really felt the courtyard was too big with too many rooms, even cleaning was difficult.

Cheng Xue’s proposal brightened Wang Miaomiao’s eyes, she eagerly nodded in agreement, "Xiao Xue is absolutely right. All of you should come. Brother-in-law quits the factory, what next? If considering business, opportunities in Beijing abound. Besides, we can support each other."

"Yes, yes, look at the older sister’s family, the brother-in-law has quit the iron rice bowl to settle in Beijing, and the business is doing well enough. Brother-in-law, you can certainly do it too..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Pandi thought of Zhu Zheng’s school. If Little Darling could come here to study, it would be wonderful. During conversations between the two kids, it wasn’t hard to see Little Darling envied Zhu Zheng.

"And parents, you’re sure to follow your son, right? Now that Jia Bao has settled here, you ought to come and enjoy life."

"No, no." Liu Yulan shook her head repeatedly, "Let Pandi come over, but your father and I aren’t retired yet. Doing what? Costs in Beijing are high, earning whatever we can back home, we can plant crops, make pickled turnips, dry veggies for you..."

"Mom, we don’t lack such food at home. If you want to grow vegetables, I can convert the home garden for you to plant." Cheng Xue spared no effort to persuade.

"Parents if it’s for work, actually, you can find jobs in Beijing, I’ll arrange them then." Jiang Yan had a way, instantly resolving Liu Yulan’s last concern.

She was just reluctant to leave work, being an iron rice bowl. Her daughters are capable, earning money, she knows.

Their ability to earn is their own skill. She and Wang Baoxing are still young, surely not relying on kids to feed.

They’ll have more savings for grandchildren later.

Okay, thinking too far ahead.

Now the son-in-law said he could solve the job problem, Liu Yulan immediately hesitated, as her son and daughter both planted roots here, she would eventually join them.

The few discussed around the issue, finally reaching a decision. It was truly a result of everyone working together, united in spirit.

Wang Miaomiao was excited; a goal expected to take years to achieve might now come true sooner, plus bringing the second sister’s family over, haha...

The National Day holiday quickly ended.

Yang Zhigang’s family of three, along with Wang Baoxing and Liu Yulan, returned home.

Wang Pandi didn’t stay back alone, she followed them home. Eventually, they felt leaving her alone was too deliberate, better to return openly and settle home matters before relocating calmly.

They were ready with their reasons, saying they were moving the whole family to settle in Beijing.

Returning, Yang Zhigang submitted a resignation report, while Jiang Yan discreetly helped with some grass-roots efforts, ultimately transitioning to someone Yang Zhigang previously promoted. There were still many relatives from two families in the factory, they had to consider these people, couldn’t let family be impacted.

Wang Pandi’s shop was easily handled, directly transferred to an employee, without sky-high prices, only charging the necessary.

She hoped the shop could keep operating well, even in her absence, given her years of effort here.
