Chapter 89 Instigation

Chapter 89 Instigation

Yao Guohua knew that Yao Shula had opened a recreational ball stall.

At first, he scoffed at her, thinking that Yao Shula was just making trouble for no reason.

Why not just find a proper job, even a temporary one?

Instead, they decided to set up a stall, just like those small vendors...

Yao Guohua was waiting to see Yao Shula make a fool of herself...

Who knew that Yao Shula's recreational ball stall seemed to be getting more and more popular.

Yao Guohua knew that many people from their machinery factory regularly went to play ball.

That day, Yao Guohua returned home from working overtime at the factory. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Song Yuling watching her son do his homework.

"Guohua, you're back!"

I've kept your food warm on the coal stove! I'll bring it to you!

As Song Yuling spoke, she went to serve Yao Guohua his meal.

Jiang Xiaotao, who was doing his homework, glanced at Yao Guohua, called out "Dad" softly, and then took his homework back to his room.

Yao Guohua sat wearily on the rattan chair in front of the coffee table, his mind beginning to wander.

This promotion to technical engineer... is basically out of the question.

If it weren't for the uproar that Yao Shula and her two siblings caused at the end of last year, my fate would have been sealed.

Fortunately, I still have a certain advantage in the competition for the workshop director position.

The original workshop director was about to retire, and Yao Guohua felt that given his age and technical background, if he didn't take over, who would?

Yao Guohua thought for a moment, then pinched the bridge of his nose, trying his best to calm himself down.

Song Yuling had already brought over the food.

A large bowl of cornmeal porridge, a small plate containing a mixed flour steamed bun, some leftover fermented soybeans from the winter that had been dried into salted beans, and a small handful of pickled mustard greens.

"I didn't make anything special for dinner, so let's just eat whatever we have!" Song Yuling said.

Yao Guohua nodded, took the chopsticks, and was about to eat when he remembered something, took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Song Yuling.

"Here, take this month's salary!"

Song Yuling touched the envelope, feeling very dissatisfied.

Half of the money inside is gone...

But she still looked very serious.

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely plan to use it."

I'll deposit ten yuan at the savings bank first, and use the rest for household expenses!

Yao Guohua was very satisfied with Song Yuling's approach. Yes, knowing how to save money is the key to managing a household well.

No matter how much she receives, Song Yuling knows she should save some of it. Having savings is the foundation for her future.

"Don't worry, your salary will increase a bit in June!"

"By the way, try to buy two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of decent liquor in a couple of days," Yao Guohua said while drinking cornmeal porridge.

Song Yuling was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening.

"What? Is there some movement?"

Yao Guohua nodded.

"Okay, that's almost done! You get ready, and I'll send it over later."

Song Yuling's mood finally improved.

There's a good chance that the matter of the workshop director is settled. If all goes well, Yao Guohua's salary will increase even more before the end of the year.

Having a little power in one's hands means having more things to do.

Thinking of this, Song Yuling's smile widened.

"Hmm, I'll try to prepare! These days... are a bit tough."

Once my meat ration coupons arrive next month, I'll buy some good meat and make dumplings for you.

Oh well, if we don't have meat coupons, we don't have meat coupons! There's a villager selling meat behind the supply and marketing cooperative. Although the price is a bit higher, we don't buy from him often.

"I'll go check tomorrow and buy a pound of meat to make dumplings for you." Song Yuling looked at Yao Guohua with a smile.

Yao Guohua smiled and nodded.

This is why he likes Song Yuling; she thinks of him in everything and is gentle and considerate.

Unlike the old Schumann...

"Oh, right, Guohua, there's something I don't know if I should tell you!" Song Yuling looked at Yao Guohua cautiously.

"What is it? Tell me!" Yao Guohua immediately looked at Song Yuling.

Song Yuling sighed and pushed the dish containing salted beans and pickled mustard greens toward Yao Guohua.

"Your eldest daughter... you know about Yao Shula, that she set up a stall?"

"It's just a basketball court, what's wrong with that?"

Let her embarrass herself if she wants to! It's none of our business.

"They don't recognize me, and I don't recognize them either!" Yao Guohua snorted coldly.

Song Yuling doesn't want Yao Shula and her two siblings to live a comfortable life right now.

In her eyes, Yao Shula was the culprit who dragged her out of her good life.

If it weren't for Yao Shula, how could she have lost her formal job?

How could Yao Guohua bring home less money every month?

Yao Shula doesn't want her to have an easy time, and she won't let Yao Shula have an easy time either...

Thinking of this, Song Yuling quickly moved closer to Yao Guohua.

"Guohua, I know that some things are not for me to say, but I have watched Shula and the others grow up."

She's gone astray now... It breaks my heart too! Song Yuling began to sigh.

Yao Guohua was taken aback.

"Wrong path? What wrong path?"

Song Yuling continued to sigh.

"Guohua, Shula opened a ball-playing stall, right? Do you know what kind of people go there to play every day?!"

Who from a good family goes to play ball every day?

Who has a proper job and then spends all their free time playing ball? Whose child doesn't go straight home after work?

You didn't go to Shura's side to watch; it's just a bunch of young, shady guys playing there.

They were all dressed like thugs, what kind of people were they!

Shura must be twenty years old already, what age is that?

What good things can come from hanging out with those kinds of people every day?

Guohua, even though you've fallen out with those three siblings, you're still their father!

What if one day... Shura does something embarrassing with someone else, and it becomes the talk of the town? Wouldn't you, as her father, have to clean up the mess then?

People would have talked behind our backs back then!

Isn't this embarrassing? If it gets any worse, it could end up at the police station or the Public Security Bureau.

Did that affect your progress?

How can a girl of that age resist the seduction of those hooligans!

"What if something happens... don't you think?" Song Yuling said earnestly.

Yao Guohua's face grew darker and darker as he listened.

He also knew that most of the people who went to play ball were young people, and it was strange for a young woman to hang out with people who didn't have any serious business...

What good outcome can we expect in the end?

"I understand! I know what to do!"

"What a troublesome thing! A disgrace!" Yao Guohua slammed the bowl he was holding onto the table, and went back to his room without eating.

A slight smile appeared on Song Yuling's lips.

Yao Shula, Yao Shula, your dad is going to teach you a lesson, and he'll do it in a perfectly legitimate way. Let's see what you do then.
