Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 169: Granddaughter-in-Law

Watching Wang Qiushuang chat and laugh harmoniously with colleagues, Yi Roujing felt disdainful inside, although she didn’t mention Ding Jianshe’s second marriage. She didn’t want to drag Hu Ailing into it.

As they chatted enthusiastically, Yi Roujing directly bypassed them and left. Wang Qiushuang watched her leaving back, feeling a bit strange. She originally thought Yi Roujing would expose others’ ignorance in front of everyone, causing her embarrassment.

Seeing Yi Roujing’s attitude of moving on, Wang Qiushuang breathed a sigh of relief. This temporary job was obtained by Ding Jianshe gifting the workshop director, and she needed to seize the opportunity to stay in the town. Hu Ailing was foolish enough to be manipulated by Hupozi and couldn’t get her husband’s protection; she could.

Yi Roujing didn’t care about Wang Qiushuang’s smugness. As she entered the cafeteria, Ding Anmin saw her immediately and stood up, waving his hand high and shouting loudly, "Sister-in-law, here, here."

Cold marinated pig’s trotters were brought from home, while Ding Anmin and Yi Weiliang bought fried leafy greens, eggplant stewed with potatoes, and cucumbers stir-fried with eggs. Three people, four dishes, and there was nothing left.

Ding Anmin washed the lunchbox clean, put it in a green net bag, and looked back to see Yi Roujing and Yi Weiliang still not leaving, "Sister-in-law?"

"Let’s go, let’s go out. I’ll treat you to ice pops today," Yi Roujing said with a wave of her hand, "My third brother happens to be going to see Youning, and I plan to visit the county government staff residential area."

Ding Anmin immediately understood, "Did you meet Wang Qiushuang, sister-in-law?"

Yi Roujing nodded.

"Today Ding Jianshe took her to the finance department to register her information. She’s now a female worker in production workshop two, and today’s her first day at work," Ding Anmin whispered the information, "And I heard that Ding Jianshe’s application for a couples’ room has been approved. After all, he’s an old employee of the food factory, having worked for ten long years since being an apprentice." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"What kind of person is that? Turns out he could have applied for a couples’ room before but didn’t. What was he thinking? Ailing is really lucky to leave such a man," Ding Anmin sighed.

"Yes, I think so too, so I still need to tell Ailing about their news. They need to be prepared in case they meet in town and face it calmly," replied Yi Roujing.

The three of them walked out of the food factory gate together toward the storefront. Yi Roujing bought four ice cream bars, and Yi Weiliang took two and ran straight to the textile factory.

"Sister-in-law, the kindergarten is almost on summer vacation, and Youning has to wait until autumn to start school. His aunt has been bringing him to work, but that’s not a solution." Ding Anmin said.

"Yes, that’s why my third brother is going today to discuss, if they send him to Dingping Production Team they won’t be assured, so they plan to meet the parents after the autumn harvest. Meeting them will put them at ease, and they also said when the parents come to town they will visit the house."

"As for recently, your brother’s school has a retired old teacher who teaches writing and reading, and many teachers from the school send their children who are not yet of school age there."

"The teacher is just looking for some company, doesn’t take just any kid, only those who are obedient and not noisy. Your brother has already talked to the person to let Youning try, and they genuinely enjoy helping people, only charging two yuan a month."

"So cheap," Ding Anmin was shocked, "No wonder Yi was particularly happy today, look at how he ran out, don’t know how joyful he was."

While talking, the two entered the county government staff residential area, but before they could walk in, they were stopped by an old lady with silver hair standing at the foot of the wall. She was alone, without any luggage around her.

"Two young girls, do you live inside? Whose house? I haven’t been here in a long time and can’t recognize anyone. Do you work at the brick factory? Could you help me deliver a message to Huang Qianren?" The old lady looked fatigued, but her eyes were energetic, and her face was kindly as she asked, "Or do you work in the county government?"

Yi Roujing was a little embarrassed, "Granny, we don’t live inside, we’re looking for someone too, we don’t know the person you mentioned."

"Who are you looking for then?" The old lady asked with a smile.

"We’re planning to go to County Magistrate Lou’s house," Yi Roujing replied truthfully.

"Little Lou," the old lady realized, "But at this time he should be at work."

"We’re here to find his family members," Yi Roujing explained with a smile.

"Can I go with you?" The old lady asked, "I’m really getting old and nostalgic. I didn’t expect to wait at the known house and ended up waiting blankly at the gate."

The old lady called County Magistrate Lou "Little Lou," and Yi Roujing understood she must be an elder from a good family, so she nodded in agreement.

Seeing the old lady walking slowly, they slowed their pace, and Ding Anmin thoughtfully supported her.

The old lady patted Ding Anmin’s hand, "Oh, good kids, look so nice, where are you two from?"

"We work at the food factory," Ding Anmin replied cheerfully.

"Food factory!" The old lady’s eyes brightened, "Food factory is good, food factory is good."

Ding Anmin laughed at the words, "Granny, does someone in your family work at the food factory too?"

"Yes, yes, my granddaughter-in-law works there," the old lady replied kindly, "I’m visiting my granddaughter-in-law."

"Granny, your granddaughter-in-law is a colleague of ours, I wonder if we know her. There are many employees at the food factory, I’ve just joined not long ago and haven’t met everyone yet," Ding Anmin said with a smile.

"Are you two sisters? Does Granny want to introduce you to someone?" The old lady said joyfully.

Yi Roujing listened amusedly, while Ding Anmin hurriedly waved her hand in refusal, "Granny, this is my sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law, huh, then there’s nothing I can do. Then you..."

"Granny, I’m about to have a partner, you don’t have to introduce me," Ding Anmin said with a smile.

"Truly, all good-looking girls have partners," the old lady muttered, "Luckily, my little grandson has a wife too, haha, that’s good."

At County Magistrate Lou’s small courtyard, Yi Roujing knocked on the door. The one who came to open it was Hu Ailing, but there were people in the yard. Qin Suyun was at home, and Mei Qianyao, Mr. Chen’s wife, was there with Chen Guole.

"Roujing," Hu Ailing was overjoyed to see Yi Roujing.

Qin Suyun stood up and smiled, nodding at Yi Roujing. Upon seeing the old lady behind Yi Roujing and Ding Anmin, she looked surprised and quickly stepped forward, personally supporting the old lady, "Mrs. Huang, why are you here? Where’s Baohua and the others?"

"I didn’t tell them, giving them a surprise, but miscalculated the timing. Luckily, I ran into these two pretty girls at the gate, so I followed them to your house for a while," Mrs. Huang replied with a smile.
