Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1025: Interview

New book "Reborn: Not Your Perfect Wife" is in need of your collection and recommendation, dear readers!Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded as she left. The girl’s mindset is unstable; it’s better to let her tire out a bit, and this will firm up her resolve.

After finishing his meal, Guodong quickly went to his sister’s room.

"How are you? Should I boil some water for a hot bath?"

Jing Chu shook her head. "No need, I’m sleepy now. A nap will make me feel better by tomorrow."

"Why bother with them? Why do you engage with them?"

"I was just annoyed at the time. Thinking back now, I realize I was being foolish. Even if they don’t work as hard as I do, so what? It only ends up exhausting and angering me."

"As long as you understand, that’s all that matters. Sleep tight. If you feel unwell tomorrow, just take a leave."

Jing Chu shrugged, and after Guodong came out, he saw Jiang Xinyu standing aside, watching him with a smile.

He followed her into the room. "What happened to Jing Chu today?"

"It’s just those four female intellectuals in the village pressuring Jing Chu; she got a bit worked up at the moment."

Jiang Xinyu nodded. "I’m relieved that there’s no problem. You shouldn’t get involved. Let her experience it herself."

Guodong nodded. He knew his sister’s feelings were unsettled, and Aunt Jiang had her intentions, so he wouldn’t interfere.

That evening, Jiang Xinyu played games on the bed with her two children. The boy was really energetic; even at this hour, he wouldn’t sleep. Feifei said he only napped for an hour during the day.

Sighing helplessly at her cheerful son, Jiang Xinyu reflected on the genetic anomaly. She was quite reserved as a child herself, and this body had always been timid and honest.

Wei Kaiyun might have been mischievous as a child; Shi Xian must have inherited from him, otherwise wouldn’t be like this.

She cuddled the two children as they lay down. She turned on the radio, signaling it was time to sleep.

She thought about Wei Kaiyun, wondering how he was doing now.

Wei Kaiyun wasn’t too happy here; tonight, he was having dinner with reporter Song Yanling, who was here to visit him for his contributions to rural modernization.

The entire time, it was Song Yanling asking and Wei Kaiyun replying, not a word more.

"Mr. Wei, this news report is to be sent to the Capital. I hope you can actively cooperate with me."

"Comrade Song, please hurry up; it’s the wheat harvest season, and the household is really busy."

Li Yunqiao felt helpless on the side. He witnessed last time that Wei Kaiyun shows a deadpan expression towards women outside his family; he wondered what the young, beautiful, and competent Song really saw in him.

Second marriage, several children, older age, and most importantly, he doesn’t even have a pleasant demeanor.

"Mr. Wei, I will speed up the process, but please cooperate with my work."

After finishing the meal, Wei Kaiyun glanced at Li Yunqiao.

Li Yunqiao understood immediately, even after grasping Song Yanling’s hints, he didn’t leave.

With all three seated, Wei Kaiyun cut to the chase, "Comrade Song, let’s finish all visits today. We plan to leave tomorrow, as there’s really a lot of work at home. Though things can still be done without me, as a farmer, not being home during the wheat harvest is very distressing."

Li Yunqiao found it amusing. Wei Kaiyun’s words sounded too official.

Song Yanling felt disheartened; why was this person so unyielding? She considered herself more capable than his wife.

But he really seemed indifferent to her, which was hard for her to accept.

She had no choice but to perk up; she’d go back and apply to leave with them the next day.

Song Yanling dug a bit deeper, "Mr. Wei, was there an issue that led to your transfer from the textile factory to here?"

Wei Kaiyun didn’t miss a beat, responding directly, "I’m not sure about that. My files haven’t recorded any issues from my side.

I worked at the textile factory for almost ten years, and I believe I didn’t have any problems. Accepting scrutiny proves I had no issues, so I really can’t answer your question."

"Mr. Wei, you’re young and relatively influential. Can you accept living such a simple life now?"

"Why wouldn’t I accept it? Since understanding the hardships of farmers, I find those aspects enjoyable in life."

"But as far as I know, farmers are extremely hard-working."

"That’s why it’s been my motivation to keep striving, to ease the burdens of our fellow villagers."

"Mr. Wei is really noble."

"Comrade Song, there’s no need to describe me like that. In reality, everyone has selfish motives, and I also wish to ease my own workload."

"Mr. Wei, from a long-term perspective, you’re not only alleviating farmers’ burdens but are also incrementally boosting the lives of those consuming commodity grains."

"Comrade Song, your words are flattering. I don’t think that far ahead right now.

I simply wish for everyone to have enough food, clothes for warmth, and some spare cash."

"Isn’t that a noble aspiration?"

Wei Kaiyun nodded, "Thank you, Comrade Song, for the affirmation."

"Mr. Wei, could you share a bit about your family situation?"

"Isn’t that a personal privacy matter?"

"But I believe behind every successful man is a great woman supporting him. When introducing Mr. Wei, I’d like to include a bit about your family."

Wei Kaiyun frowned, "Comrade Song, apologies, but I can’t answer that question. Such private matters shouldn’t be asked in the future."

Song Yanling thought it was just as well he didn’t want to talk about it. Her previous words were insincere, believing that woman was unworthy of Wei Kaiyun. Just because she’s a university graduate, doesn’t change the fact she’s working in the fields and tending to the kids. She really looked down on her, what sort of contribution has she made to the people even as a university graduate?

Wei Kaiyun checked the time; it was already past nine.

"Comrade Song, is there anything else you wish to ask? Since it’s getting late."

Song Yanling also noted the time, indeed it was late. She was sure she’d leave with them tomorrow. After all, the report agency highly valued this interview.

"Alright then, let’s leave it at this for now. Thanks for cooperating, Mr. Wei." Song Yanling finished and extended her hand.

Li Yunqiao observed Wei Kaiyun, who sat unmoved, thinking he was entirely uninterested in interacting with other women.

Song Yanling awkwardly withdrew her hand, packed her belongings, greeted Li Yunqiao, and departed.

After seeing Song Yanling off, Li Yunqiao also left, instructing Secretary Wu to book the tickets tomorrow morning.

After freshening up, Wei Kaiyun lay in bed, his mind filled with thoughts of his wife and children. He did acknowledge what Song Yanling said today.

Indeed, his wife continually stands behind, supporting him.
