After Getting Abandoned, I Choose to Become the General's Wife

Chapter 77: Dinner Party

When the two of them returned to the house, Fang Ya put down her bag and grabbed Shao Xiang’s hand to sit at the table.

Shao Xiang was anxious, but Fang Ya refused to say anything. She grew even more anxious. “What’s wrong with you? Tell me quickly!”

Fang Ya smiled and said, “I’m going to work in the district next week!”

“Ah? District? Where?” Shao Xiang asked in a daze.

Hearing Shao Xiang’s question, Fang Ya could not help but shake her head and smile bitterly.

Shao Xiang had never gone to school or worked outside her entire life, so she naturally could not distinguish between these things.

However, since Fang Ya had decided to let Shao Xiang participate in her future life, she had to teach her what it meant.

“If I head there, I will be the assistant to the district party secretary,” Fang Ya introduced simply.

“The district government? Then are you not an official?” Shao Xiang exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Ya patted Shao Xiang’s hand and smiled. “I’m not an official, I’m just an assistant to an official.”

“Then it’ll be soon! You’re already by the side of an official, you’ll be an official very soon!” Shao Xiang said confidently.

“Xiao Ya, you’re really amazing!” Shao Xiang said sincerely.

Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang’s sincere praise, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose. “These days, I really thank you!”

“Ahhh! What’s there to thank when we’re family!” Shao Xiang waved her hand.

After saying that, she suddenly froze.

She looked at Fang Ya somewhat awkwardly. “Don’t mind me saying this, I just…”

Fang Ya smiled and interrupted Shao Xiang’s words. “You’re right! We’re family!”

“Thank you for being by my father’s side and taking care of him for so many years.” Fang Ya thanked him sincerely.

“And thank you for being by my side during my most difficult moments!” Fang Ya said, tears already welling up in her eyes.

Shao Xiang held Fang Ya’s hand with some heartache. “Don’t worry, Tang Tang will definitely be fine! Our family will be together well in the future!”

Fang Ya nodded and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. “Yes! I will try my best to make you both very happy!”

“You have to be happy too!” Shao Xiang reminded again.

Fang Ya nodded, the corners of her mouth pursing into a smile.

The two of them talked for a while in the house, and the large woman called out from outside the courtyard, “Is Fang Ya back?”

Fang Ya hurriedly opened the door and walked out. “It’s me. What’s wrong?”

The large woman walked over with a basin of crabs. “Hey, my relatives sent these things over. My family can’t finish them, so I brought some for you guys!”

Fang Ya looked at the basin of lively crabs and was about to turn her down.

The large woman seemed to have seen through her thoughts. “Don’t say no! This is for He Peng’s health!

“And your mother. Look at her. She’s been worried that you’ve lost weight recently!” The large woman pouted in Shao Xiang’s direction.

The large woman did not know about the relationship between Fang Ya and Shao Xiang.

Because Shao Xiang had been doing her best to take care of Fang ya, she had grown to believe that Shao Xiang was Fang Ya’s mother.

Shao Xiang was at a loss when she heard this.

Fang Ya smiled and said, “Yes! You’re right! I haven’t… taken enough care of my mother!”

The large woman chuckled and said, “Take it and eat! I still have it over there!”

Fang Ya nodded and took the basin. “Thank you! Come over for dinner tonight! I have good news to announce!”

When the large woman heard that, her eyes lit up. “Oh? What good news?”

Fang Ya smiled mysteriously. “I’ll keep you in suspense. You’ll know when you come over tonight!”

The large woman waved her hand. “I know! I’ll definitely be there tonight!”

When He Peng heard that there would be crabs to eat at home, he almost jumped up.

Fang Ya helped Shao Xiang in the kitchen. Soon, Sister Niu and Wang Xu arrived.

Because Fang Ya had called He Feng before she went home, He Feng came back with Li Tong in tow.

The large woman’s house was next door. When the meal was almost ready, Fang Ya asked He Peng to call the large woman’s family over for dinner.

A large group of people gathered in the small courtyard. They surrounded a big table that was laden with good dishes.

“Today, I have something to announce.” Fang Ya stood up and looked around at everyone present.

“A lot of things happened in my family previously. I’m here to thank everyone for their help!” Fang ya said sincerely.

“Today, I want to share a piece of good news with everyone. Starting next week, I’m going to work at the district government.” Fang Ya said with a smile on her face.

“Although I’m not a high-ranking official, I would never have been able to do it without everyone’s help!” Fang Ya said sincerely.

When everyone heard this, other than Shao Xiang and the other two who already knew, everyone else was shocked.

“Sister-in-law! Are you serious! Did you really get it?” Li Tong could not help but cry out in surprise.

“But…” Li Tong’s brows turned and then furrowed. “Why did I hear…”

“What did you hear!?” Wang Xu gave Li Tong a look, and Li Tong immediately shut up.

Everyone immediately laughed out loud.
