CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 439: WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

At that moment, Ge Liang was playing in the yard with everyone and quickly blended into the group of children.

Xia Hua was the oldest child among them, leading a group of little ones in games of hide-and-seek and eagle catches chicks in the yard. While the adults talked, they could hear the giggling of the children, and everyone had a great time.

Back then, children’s play involved mud pies, climbing trees, and hide-and-seek, but it was all so full of childlike fun.

When the Xia and Fang families met, they got along very well. The Fangs were eager for Xia Lin and Fang Yuan to marry soon, and the Xia family had no objections, considering Xia Lin wasn’t young anymore.

So the two families quickly agreed, and the Fang Family didn’t stay long before leaving. Ge Liang was reluctant to go, clinging to Xia Xiao’s hand and not letting go, while Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi pulled on Xia Xiao’s other hand, fiercely warning Ge Liang to let go, causing the adults to laugh.

Xia Lin and Fang Yuan went back to their unit to file a marriage report; nowadays, people didn’t host a wedding feast, it was just a matter of registering the marriage, so the parents didn’t need to worry too much.

The next day, the Gao family arrived, and Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao went to the train station to pick them up.

During the trip, Zheng Xianghong couldn’t wait to share the news about the Production Team. Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao were shocked, not expecting so many things to have happened at home since their last visit.

Xia Xiao comforted, "Dad, it might be for the best that you gave up your Team Leader position. Brother Gao is going to military school, and I don’t know how to raise a son. Mom and Dad have done such a great job with Big Brother and Brother Gao, we’ve even considered letting Mom and Dad raise Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi."

Gao Guoqiang nodded happily, thinking it wasn’t a bad idea. He wasn’t confident in raising a daughter but believed he did a good job with his sons.

Zheng Xianghong also had a smile on her face, enjoying the thought of spending more time with her grandchildren, as any elder would.

Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua didn’t say a word, continuing their silent marital discord. When they were about to leave, Gao Jiazhi asked Sun Yuhua if she wanted to visit her parents, to meet with both families.

However, Sun Yuhua declined, saying she needed to ask her parents first. Gao Jiazhi was displeased, feeling Sun Yuhua had no intention of arranging a family meeting or even considering taking him to meet her parents, which hurt him.

After all, they had been married for many years and had children. They were in the same city, and if Sun Yuhua’s parents weren’t in this city, it would be fine, but she made no move to take her daughter to meet her grandparents; naturally, Gao Jiazhi felt uncomfortable.

Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing also sensed the issue between Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua. Not to mention them, even Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong could feel it, but it wasn’t something they could intervene in.

Weilin clung to Xia Xiao’s hand, looking around with curiosity and bombarding Xia Xiao with questions about everything she saw.

Xia Xiao was very patient with Weilin, understanding that it was normal for a child to be curious about strange and new sights on her first visit to the city.

But Sun Yuhua felt embarrassed by her daughter’s behavior, repeatedly shooting Weilin stern looks, which Weilin completely ignored.

Sun Yuhua snapped, "You’ll learn if you just watch and listen, what’s the point of asking so many questions?"

Weilin pouted, "If I don’t understand something, naturally I have to ask, didn’t Mom tell me to ask if I’m unsure?"

Zheng Xianghong said, "Yuhua, just leave it. It’s good that Weilin asks questions when she’s unsure. Don’t always scold her. Besides, now that we’re back in the city, stop frowning all the time. Soon we’ll be at Xia Xiao’s grandparents’ place, and you better not put on airs there."

Sun Yuhua kept silent, her attitude towards Zheng Xianghong had changed since she learned Zheng wasn’t her biological mother-in-law.

In the past, Sun Yuhua at least listened to what Zheng Xianghong said, but now she disregarded her words entirely.

Gao Jiazhi said, "If you don’t want to come, you don’t have to, but don’t sit there with a sour face; nobody owes you anything."

As soon as Gao Jiazhi finished speaking, Sun Yuhua turned and walked away, heading in another direction.

"Sun Yuhua!" called Gao Jiazhi from behind, chasing after her, but Sun Yuhua simply started running.

Everyone followed and saw Sun Yuhua running straight onto a bus and leaving.

Gao Jiazhi’s face turned green with anger; Zheng Xianghong was about to suggest that Gao Jiazhi go after Sun Yuhua but worried that if he did, he might get lost and end up even harder to find.

"I’ll go after Sister Yuhua," Xia Xiao said.

"I’ll go," Gao Jiaxing offered.

"No need to worry about her now, she must have gone home, and she has the money with her."

As Gao Jiazhi finished speaking, Zheng Xianghong let out a sigh, "Neither of you seems to understand what’s really going on."

"Daddy," Weilin took Gao Jiazhi’s hand, suddenly feeling a bit scared.

"I know where Sister Yuhua lives," said Xia Xiao.

"Go and check then, no matter what, we must ensure she doesn’t come to any harm," Gao Guoqiang said. Even though Sun Yuhua had left on her own, there was still the chance she could encounter danger.

Xia Xiao immediately took Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong, along with the rest of the family, on a bus to Sun Yuhua’s home. The transportation in S city was still very convenient at the time, after all, it is one of the largest cities in the country.

On the other hand, Sun Yuhua got off the bus, fuming, and returned to her parents’ house, not expecting to find Yang He at her home.

Sun Yuhua froze; The Suns hadn’t expected her to return. Today was an important day as her elder brother had received a promotion, so to give thanks to Yang He, they had invited him over for a meal.

"Why have you come back?" Sun Mu quickly asked.

"I missed home, so I came back," Sun Yuhua replied.

Mr. Sun turned to her and said, "Didn’t you see Mr. Yang here? You should have greeted him."

"Mr. Yang." Upon seeing Yang He, Sun Yuhua felt awkward, and even regretted her impulsive decision to return.

Yang He, however, took things in stride and smiled at Sun Yuhua, "My daughter Yang Zhonghong is also in the Guangming Production Team. Comrade Yuhua, do you know how my daughter is doing?"

Sun Yuhua said, "Comrade Zhonghong is doing very well; her husband has just become the leader of the Production Team."

Sun Mu asked, "Didn’t you tell us that your father-in-law was the leader of the Production Team? Why isn’t he anymore?"

"Yes, now it’s Comrade Zhonghong’s husband who is the leader of the Production Team," Sun Yuhua didn’t mention much about Gao Guoqiang.

The Sun Family was immediately displeased. Originally, they had heard that Sun Yuhua and Gao Jiazhi had become teachers, that her father-in-law was the Production Team’s leader, and that he was recognized as an outstanding worker every year. Although they were still not entirely satisfied, they found it barely acceptable.

They hadn’t expected him to no longer be the leader, and what’s more, it was Yang He’s son-in-law who had taken over. The Sun Family then congratulated Yang He.

Yang He himself didn’t think highly of his son-in-law, but knowing that he was now the leader of the Production Team, he figured that at least he wasn’t entirely useless and breathed a sigh of relief internally.

When Xia Xiao arrived with the Gao Family, The Suns had already finished their meal, and Yang He had left.

"Who are you looking for?" The one who opened the door was Sun Yuhua’s sister-in-law.

"Hello, we’re looking for Sun Yuhua. Is she home?" Xia Xiao inquired.

Sun Yuhua’s sister-in-law nodded, "She’s home. May I ask who you are?"
