The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 256: Clarification and Apology

Little did he know, while he was away, his two sons suffered countless grievances at the hands of their stepmother, and he never considered her as part of their family.

The eldest was already thirteen and was no longer an easily manipulated, timid child. When the living space of the lower class is repeatedly exploited and oppressed, rebellion is bound to come sooner or later...

Seeing Qin Ming’s attitude, Yang Zhigang frowned in displeasure and said, "Qin Ming, are you in cahoots with your wife, deliberately framing my wife and then trying to gain benefits from me?"

Qin Ming hurriedly denied in panic, "No, I didn’t, I don’t know why she would slander people, I’m sorry, I apologize on her behalf. I’m sorry..."

Yang Zhigang did not press aggressively, after all, since that person was still in childbirth, and if anything went wrong while she was at death’s door, they might get blamed for it, which would be troublesome, so let’s leave it at that for now...

His main purpose today was to clarify matters and then give them a stern warning. As for anything else, a gentleman’s revenge isn’t too late even after ten years; he shouldn’t let the opportunity slip away.

"Alright, we’ll accept your apology this time. However..." Yang Zhigang unleashed an oppressive aura, leaving Qin Ming with nowhere to hide, trembling, "This is the only time, don’t let it happen again. Control your wife, or else... hmm, our steel factory is a just and principled collective that loves the Party and the country. Anyone who commits crimes will be dismissed outright, and family members who do wrong will be implicated."

As soon as he said this, those around began to chatter noisily.

Some thought this punishment was too severe, causing everyone to face restrictions over the Qin family’s issue, which immediately displeased them. Others believed that without rules, there can be no order, and that strict punishment is necessary to thoroughly stop some people’s unhealthy tendencies and bring clarity back to the factory.

Yang Zhigang listened quietly to their discussions, and he was just a spectator, watching everyone don masks that changed constantly, truly embodying the saying that the human heart is unfathomable...

After a long while, seeing that their discussions had almost concluded, Yang Zhigang finally said, "This year, our factory has been allocated three Party membership spots, and only those with excellent conduct, hardworking, and with a high level of consciousness can be selected to apply..."

"Ah, that’s a great opportunity, joining the Party is good..."

When Yang Zhigang finished speaking, the people started discussing again, their faces now filled with smiles, and some quietly left to bring the good news home...

Yang Zhigang gave Qin Ming a final, meaningful glance.

"Dad, Mom, let’s go too, Pandi and the baby are still waiting for me to come home for dinner, you guys come eat at my place too, save you from cooking at home," Yang Zhigang said as the matter was resolved, having no interest in staying and listening to Zhang Hongfang’s occasional wailing.

Zhang Hongfang, listening to the noise inside the room, was already infuriated, her cervix not opening, and the pain tortured her endlessly.

It took two whole rounds of this before she finally gave birth to the child, only the child looked very weak, probably because the amniotic fluid was depleted, and suffocated inside the womb for too long.

Zhang Hongfang was both angry and annoyed, didn’t even want to breastfeed, letting the child cry on one side without comforting... just because it was a girl...

At this time, Qin Ming couldn’t stand it anymore, "Hongfang, feed her, the child is crying, she might be hungry."

"Why feed her, a girl, money-loser, when she grows up she’ll belong to someone else, what a waste of food." Zhang Hongfang grumbled unhappily, feeling annoyed in her heart, she thought it was going to be a son and boasted in front of Wang Pandi, and this daughter had caused her so much suffering, she didn’t want to raise her, "Better to give her away, we don’t even know if she can be raised properly, why bother."

"Enough, she is my daughter, Qin Ming’s daughter, for life." Qin Ming said sternly, his eyes no longer holding yesterday’s compromise.

He didn’t expect Zhang Hongfang wouldn’t even want her own biological daughter; he knew she had many shortcomings, but because she was young, he tolerated everywhere, but...

"You yelled at me, you actually dared to yell at me, Qin Ming, you don’t want to live anymore, do you..." Zhang Hongfang grew agitated, looking at Qin Ming in disbelief.

Qin Ming gave her a deep look, his eyes devoid of warmth, he bent down, picked up his daughter who was crying like a kitten, turned and left without a word, leaving Zhang Hongfang alone in the infirmary...

Some people can’t be spoiled, the more you spoil them, the worse they get, if there’s a problem it needs to be dealt with!

Back to Wang Pandi’s side, Yang Zhigang had won justice for her, but she still held a knot in her heart, Zhang Hongfang’s words were unpleasant, yet truthful, who wouldn’t want a son to carry on the family line...

Even though she knew Yang Zhigang would not blame her for not having a son, she felt uncomfortable, the better he treated her, the more guilty she felt.

Yang Zhigang could feel Wang Pandi’s unhappiness, after all, they were a couple with great mutual understanding.

He was aware of her heart’s knot, but he had already comforted her more than once on these matters. If she couldn’t let go, he really had no solutions. He could only care for her a little more daily, give her more security.

"Pandi, in three days it’s the full month of my two little grandsons, Mom plans to go to Beijing to see your sister and the two babies, do you want to go?" At the dinner table, Liu Yulan asked Wang Pandi casually. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Wang Pandi paused, unsure if she should go.

"Go, take the baby and stay for a few days." Yang Zhigang picked a piece of her favorite fish for her.

Wang Pandi looked up at him, her eyes carrying questions.

Yang Zhigang smiled slightly, "Don’t overthink it, go relax a bit." He planned to call his sister-in-law for help once his wife left, asking her sister-in-law to help counsel her a bit.

"Mom, I’ll approve a few more days off for you, accompany Pandi and the baby to stay with her for a few extra days, to spend quality time with her there."

With everything arranged meticulously by the son-in-law, Liu Yulan naturally had no reason to refuse, she indeed wanted to stay longer with her little daughter, and see the two twin grandsons.

"Alright, Jia Bao, accompany us there too." Liu Yulan was very happy, it would be lively with more people on the road.

Wang Jia Bao was already bored staying at home, he’d caused enough chaos in the backyard, all the small animals dared not appear. These days he was idling at home, and hearing Liu Yulan’s arrangement, his spirits lifted immediately, "Great, I’ll go with you all. Brother-in-law and dad don’t need to worry, I’ll take good care of them."

The arrangements went smoothly, and without notifying Wang Miaomiao in advance, they just boarded the train.

Once Yang Zhigang returned after seeing them off and called to explain the situation, Wang Miaomiao realized family was about to visit, quickly asking Aunt Li to prepare rooms, calling Jiang Yan to arrange to pick them up, airing out the mattresses and pillows... she busied herself, but felt extremely happy.

"Xiao Hanhan, Xiao Huihui, your grandma, auntie, uncle, sister, are coming to see you both, aren’t you happy..." Wang Miaomiao sat beside the cradle, smiling softly at the two children.
