Lin Xuebi and Gao Guihua both begged Wang Xiumei to spare Gao Jianhua, but Wang Xiumei shook her head. With Director Wang lying in the hospital after having a stroke, Wang Xiumei hardened her heart and divorced Gao Jianhua, nurturing a deep hatred for him.
As one would expect, the Gao Guofu family was swept out of the factory, and aside from their house in the county town, they could not find work anywhere else.
Without a local residency in the county, what use was having a house? The Gao Guofu family then considered selling the house in the county town to return to the production team.
Gao Jianhua did not agree; his family had no urban residency, but he did. Although his reputation was tarnished, as long as he remained in the county town, he could always find work.
But Yang Hua absolutely disagreed, harboring a deep grudge against Gao Jianhua. If not for him, they would still be working comfortably in the factory, but because of him, they had been swept out.
