"Sister-in-law."
The smile on Wang Hongxia's face froze. She had purposely ignored Liu Shufang's existence, wanting to make her angry and cause trouble. If she continued to pretend to be wronged, Haitao Ge would hate her.
This annoying woman, how come she knew how to act more than she did? He reluctantly shouted out, and his mood immediately became gloomy.
However, when she thought of her purpose in coming here, a sweet smile appeared on Wang Hongxia's face once again. Her voice was as clear as a silver bell, and her hands played with the ends of her hair as she spoke mischievously.
"Oh right, Brother Hai Tao, I have good news to tell you."
"What good news?"
Before Ning Haitao could say anything, Liu Shufang stood in front of him, blocking his way. She had a bright smile on her face, like a silly daughter-in-law.
"Brother Hai Tao, the geological exploration team is here to recruit you. My big brother and you were recommended by the team for recruitment. This is a once in a lifetime joyous occasion, and my dad even said that for you!"
When Wang Hongxia said this, she was a bit proud, as if her family bestowed this opportunity to Ning Haitao?
When Ning Haitao heard this, he felt as if his blood was boiling. He had read a lot, and he also wanted to go out of the village and see the good things in the country. That was what a man should do.
He just thought of his home, where his mother was sick on the brick bed, his sister still had to go to school, and his newlyweds, who were sweet as honey, going out to work.
"This matter .."
He hesitated. If he didn't want to go, he wouldn't be able to say it out loud. He looked at his wife, Shufang, who was also looking at him with her clear eyes.
"Brother Hai Tao, do you know how rare this opportunity is? If you go out to work and get a salary, it will be of great help to your family. Furthermore, there is now a sister-in-law in your family, so with a glance, you can tell that she is capable.
Wang Hongxia could tell with one look that Ning Haitao was tempted by her father's words. How could her father have helped her with this matter?
His father had gone to the Village Chief for a gift, but that was for her brother. Hai Tao had died for the sake of the village and it was difficult for the village to take care of his family.
But she didn't say it that way. She wanted Hai Tao to show her a favor so she could remember her kindness.
While you're at it, put on a tall hat for Liu Shufang. Didn't you want to occupy the position of brother Hai Tao's wife? Then he should be the slave of this family?
Two years would be enough for the yellow-faced grandma. At that time, Brother Hai Tao would definitely despise him.
Afraid that Ning Haitao would not want to go, she used her salary to tempt him. Knowing that his family urgently needed money, he could not resist this temptation.
Yesterday, Liu Shufang thought that this girl was shrewd, but she never expected her words to be able to dig three traps and trap her in them.
If she didn't agree to Hai Tao's decision, it would be a hindrance to Hai Tao's future. Even if Hai Tao didn't say anything now, when he saw Hong Xia's brother become an official worker in a geologic exploration team country in the future, he would still blame her in his heart.
In this era, if there was an official job, the production team would take care of it.
"Hai Tao, Mother is still waiting for us at home! Big sis, we have to discuss a few things at home today, so we won't invite you in. Come over to my place for dinner another day. Sister-in-law will cook for you personally. "
Liu Shufang spoke with great enthusiasm, yet she directly stopped Wang Hongxia from entering her house, pushing her out of the door.
He pulled his husband into the house and looked into Wang Hongxia's eyes as he slowly closed the door. The smile on his face was flawless.
Wang Hongxia frowned and stomped her feet. Even though she had said all that, she didn't know how high her eyebrows were if she followed him in. She would be looked down by Brother Hai Tao.
However, let that woman be proud for a moment. She had said almost everything she should have said last night. Hai Tao's matter was certain, and no one could stop it.
I heard that they will be split up in the capital this time, and she can even go there to see him. As long as he has a future as an official, dad will definitely not stop me from marrying Brother Hai Tao.
"Shufang, don't be angry, I'm not going."
When Ning Haitao saw his wife close the courtyard door, his face darkened. He hurriedly grabbed her hand and coaxed her. His voice contained a trace of helplessness, but there was also a hint of regret in his eyes.
Liu Shufang looked up at him silently. When she saw the regret in his eyes, she felt as if someone had pinched her heart.
Hai Tao was very promising in the exploration team. He was born to be that material. He remembered that in his previous life, he had only been there for a short time, but because of his quick acceptance and ability to endure hardships, his mind was sharp and his speed of improvement was fast.
She had been promoted all the way through the expedition. When she left him, she seemed to have reached the position of captain. She wasn't sure.
"Shufang? Shufang?"
Seeing his wife staring at him without saying a word, Hai Tao thought she was really angry and hurriedly shouted her name. With regards to his work, he decided to give up.
How could he hand over this rotten house to his wife right after getting married? It was a heavy burden, and the work of the house, the work of the field, could not be done every day.
It wasn't fair to Shufang, he couldn't be that selfish.
"Hai Tao, you go! Eagles are supposed to flap their wings and fly high. This small ravine will restrict your advance, so I won't drag you down. However, I want you to promise me one thing. "
Liu Shufang saw the scheming in the woman's eyes. She was going to kill her plan in the cradle.
"Shufang, thank you. Not to mention one thing, I will agree to even a hundred things."
When Ning Haitao heard that his wife supported his thoughts, he excitedly held her hand and his eyes lit up again.
"Don't tell me there's no relationship between the two of you, but that was before me. I don't want to pursue it, you just need to remember one thing, we are registered for marriage and are protected by the state, I can take care of your family for the sake of loving you, but if you are with her and have betrayed our relationship, don't say that I did not care about our relationship."
Liu Shufang's heart would inevitably ache when she said this. If this was her previous life, she would definitely be more than happy that Hai Tao liked someone else, but not this life. She wanted to live a good life with him, and never marry anyone else.
He had paid the price, made a man from a small sapling into a towering tree, and the fruit ended up in someone else's hands? She would not do it again for this fool.
