Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 444 - 446: We return to Guangming Production Team, Red Star Production Team is simply no good
Lin Xuebi and Gao Guihua both begged Wang Xiumei to spare Gao Jianhua, but Wang Xiumei shook her head. With Director Wang lying in the hospital after having a stroke, Wang Xiumei hardened her heart and divorced Gao Jianhua, nurturing a deep hatred for him.
As one would expect, the Gao Guofu family was swept out of the factory, and aside from their house in the county town, they could not find work anywhere else.
Without a local residency in the county, what use was having a house? The Gao Guofu family then considered selling the house in the county town to return to the production team.
Gao Jianhua did not agree; his family had no urban residency, but he did. Although his reputation was tarnished, as long as he remained in the county town, he could always find work.
But Yang Hua absolutely disagreed, harboring a deep grudge against Gao Jianhua. If not for him, they would still be working comfortably in the factory, but because of him, they had been swept out.
Naturally, Gao Jianhua and Gao Jianmin argued over the house in the county town. Since Gao Jianhua had married into the family and they had no children, and his lover also had an abortion, Gao Guofu, Lin Xuebi, and even Old Lady Gao sided with Gao Jianmin. They harbored deep resentment against Gao Jianhua, so the house was sold by Gao Guofu without giving Gao Jianhua a penny, and the Gao family returned to the Red Star Production Team.
Standing on the streets of the county town, the wind chilled Gao Jianhua to the bone.
Naturally, Gao Jianhua returned to beg Wang Xiumei, proactively offering to care for his former father-in-law at the hospital, but both Wang Xiumei and her mother chased him away.
However, Gao Jianhua did not give up, sticking to Wang Xiumei like a plaster, sleeping at her doorstep or guarding the hospital, thoroughly annoying the Wang mother and daughter.
Back at the Red Star Production Team, the Gao Guofu family was not well-received; though Wang Xueyong was the team leader here, the Gao family was seen as outsiders by the people of Red Star, who naturally weren’t enthusiastic.
Not to mention the Gao family had tried and failed to assimilate into city life, only to be chased back, the team members were hardly welcoming.
In these times, rumors flew everywhere, and Gao Jianhua’s affairs spread to the Red Star Production Team as well, especially Liu Haihua who privately spared no effort in using it to mock Gao Guihua.
Wang Xueyong also resented the Gao family; they were manageable back in town, but here in the Red Star Production Team, they hardly worked and were reluctant to do fieldwork.
Wang Xueyong, as the secretary, needed to set an example. How could he overlook his father-in-law similarly? So naturally, he urged the Gao family to work in the fields, but they were indolent, never finishing their work, and were a drag on everyone else.
Because they had sold the house and still had money, the Gao family truly did not regard the fieldwork seriously, but someone in your household has to work, otherwise, the people of the production team would of course have complaints.
Though the factory work was hard, it was still indoors, and at times they could even sit, which was much more comfortable than working in the production team.
Now facing the reality of being exposed to wind, sun, and rain, they were unwilling, and thus conflicts arose.
The Red Star Production Team was not as accommodating as the Guangming Production Team where Gao Guoqiang was the team leader, with the majority being people from the Gao family; Gao Guofu had always been well-protected by Gao Guoqiang, hence no issues arose.
But in the Red Star Production Team, Wang Xueyong did not protect Gao Guofu like Gao Guoqiang did, rather he was more focused on maintaining his own reputation and image, thus Wang Xueyong often singled out the Gao family for criticism.
Gao Guihua often caused a scene with Wang Xueyong because of this, emboldened by giving birth to twins, carrying herself with pride, unaware that neither Mrs. Wang nor Wang Xueyong really regarded her highly.
"If you’re unwilling to work, then let your family roll out of the Red Star Production Team," Wang Xueyong said angrily.
"Wang Xueyong, they are my family, how could you speak like that?" Gao Guihua stared at the ruthless Wang Xueyong, heartbroken.
"If coming to the Red Star Production Team means dragging me down, then I would rather not have such in-laws," replied Wang Xueyong.
As soon as he finished, Gao Guihua asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Think about what I mean. If you only have your family in your heart, and not your husband, then you should roll back to your family," Wang Xueyong commanded.
Return to her family? That was impossible, Gao Guihua thought worriedly, aware of her family’s current situation; it would not be easy for her to go back.
Wang Xueyong suddenly became adamant and unbiased, leaving Gao Guihua deeply hurt, with no choice but to go back and persuade her family, enduring their complaints and misunderstanding.
As one could imagine, the Gao Guofu family was miserable within the Red Star Production Team, enduring everyone’s cold stares and harsh words.
And people also took their cue from Wang Xueyong’s attitude - seeing that he was not biased even though the Gao family was his in-laws, they greatly praised him, with Wang Xueyong’s reputation spreading wonderfully among the people of the Red Star Production Team. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
It could be said that the Gao family inadvertently enhanced Wang Xueyong’s reputation. While Wang Xueyong was fine, the Gao family was in dire straits.
Gao Jianmin said, "Dad, let’s go back to the Guangming Production Team, where our Gao family belongs. We’re not welcome here."
"Yeah," added Yang Hua, "let’s return to the Guangming Production Team. It’s better there. The Red Star Production Team is just not good."
Old Lady Gao strongly agreed. Gao Guofu and Lin Xuebi somewhat struggled to face it, especially since their time in the Guangming Production Team was not pleasant, even having given away the old house, and they deeply regretted moving their residency to the Red Star Production Team now.
At this moment, Gao Guihua was also blamed by her family - if not for her persuasion, why would they have moved here, and they even thought having their own son-in-law as the secretary would be beneficial, only to realize that the once-thought kind son-in-law could turn his back and become unrecognizable.
During these days, the Gao family frequently cursed Wang Xueyong and Gao Guihua, and even Gao Jianhua.
Of course, Lin Xuebi also cursed Old Lady Gao as being close to death, treating Old Lady Gao even worse over time. Even though Old Lady Gao carried herself haughtily in front of Zheng Xianghong, she had gradually become meeker in front of Lin Xuebi.
Intending to move their residency back to the Guangming Production Team, Gao Guofu and Lin Xuebi visited under the pretext of visiting relatives.
