Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1418: Settling Down ( 1 )
Father Wei nodded and replied, "Since Comrade Jiang brought us here, this must be Xie Village."
Mother Wei looked around for a moment, her expression shifting to disbelief and sorrow as she said, "Our daughter and grandsons actually lived in a place like this for the past month…"
Hearing his wife's words, Father Wei let out a long sigh and said, "Wife, we might have to live here for quite a while. You should be more careful with your words. We are new here, and it's not good to offend the locals."
Upon hearing this, Mother Wei's expression darkened, and she snapped, "It's all that bastard Chen Bo's fault! If not for him, how could the Wei family have ended up like this?!"
When he heard this, Father Wei said, trying to calm her, "Enough. He is already dead. What's the use of cursing him now?"
Mother Wei wasn't an unreasonable woman. Though she had never endured hardship in her life, she had weathered her share of storms during her marriage with her husband.
Now that their family had hit rock bottom, she could still accept it as a stroke of bad luck. As long as they worked hard, she believed the Wei family could reclaim its former honor and glory.
After regaining her composure, the two of them picked up their luggage and walked into the village.
Not knowing the direction, Father Wei and Mother Wei walked toward a group of villagers sitting under a large tree.
"Excuse me, comrade," Father Wei greeted them with a smile.
Seeing two strangers dressed in expensive clothing, the villagers stopped chatting and looked them over. After a moment of observation, one of the villagers asked, "Comrade, are you here to visit relatives?"
Mother Wei nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, we came from the capital to visit our daughter. I wonder if this comrade could point us to the production team's office?"
Since they were polite, the villagers responded warmly. A middle-aged man pointed down the road and said, "Comrade, just follow this road. After two intersections, you will find the office on the left-hand side."
"Thank you for your help, Comrade," Mother Wei said gratefully.
"You are welcome."
After they left, one of the villagers muttered, "Why do they remind me of Su Anna's parents?"
"You are still talking about them? That family is long gone, and this couple might not be the same kind of people as the Su family," the villager beside her said.
"They didn't seem like bad people. The man even reminded me of the brigade secretary. The way he carries himself and speaks—it's just like the leaders," another added curiously.
"I was just saying," the first villager replied.
Unaware that they had become the topic of conversation, Father Wei and Mother Wei finally found the production team's office.
Since the autumn planting had finished, the team only needed to handle irrigation, weeding, and fertilizing the crops. At that moment, An Xuyuan and the staff, including Han Yuheng, were holding a meeting inside the office.
When they heard a knock on the door, Han Jinhe stood up and said, "I will see who it is."
Han Yuheng nodded and gestured for the secretary to continue.
Outside the meeting room, Han Jinhe saw the elderly couple. He gestured for them to enter and asked, "Comrades, how can I help you?"
Seeing the handsome, polite young man, Father Wei's impression of the village improved. He and his wife took seats before he said, "Comrade, my wife and I came from the capital to visit our daughter."
Then, he took the envelope from his pocket and handed it to Han Jinhe. "This is the recommendation letter."
Taking the envelope, Han Jinhe nodded and said, "Comrade, the team leader is currently in a meeting. Please wait here for a while."
He poured them both cups of tea before returning to the meeting. Left alone, Father Wei and Mother Wei had no choice but to wait.
An hour later, the meeting concluded and the production team's staff exited one after another. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Han Jinhe had already passed the recommendation letter from the brigade secretary to Han Yuheng. So, after the meeting, Han Yuheng came to meet them and said, "Comrade Wei, I have received the news of your arrival. Welcome to Xie Village."
Father Wei and Mother Wei stood up upon seeing him. Father Wei extended his hand and said, "Thank you, Team Leader."
Han Yuheng shook his hand and said, "I understand the situation regarding your family. At the moment, your daughter and grandsons are living with Comrade Chen Gang. So, would you prefer to live separately, or stay with them?"
Without hesitation, Father Wei replied, "Team Leader, if possible, we would prefer to live separately. Although my daughter and her sons are part of the Chen family, their household registration has already been separated. It wouldn't be appropriate for my wife and me to live with them."
Han Yuheng nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will ask Comrade Han to find an empty house for your family. As for your relationship with Comrade Chen Gang's family, the production team won't interfere. You can handle that privately."
Father Wei felt relieved and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Team Leader."
"It's a small matter," Han Yuheng said.
After a brief pause, he added, "However, since your household registration isn't listed here, you won't be able to join production work or earn work points."
"So in the future, if you need food, you will either have to forage at the mountain foothills or buy it from the state-owned grain and supply store in the town. I hope you can understand."
Father Wei nodded and replied, "Team leader, we understand."
After the brief conversation, Han Yuheng turned to Han Jinhe and said, "Comrade Han, I will have to trouble you with helping Comrade Wei and his wife find an empty house, and also show them the way to Comrade Chen Gang's house."
Han Jinhe nodded and replied, "Understood."
