Chapter44
After the joy comes the obvious awkwardness.
“But… it’s not easy to ask for a family visit leave…” Katherine’s voice trembled slightly.
When Glenna received the notice to go to the countryside, she thought about passing the job to her, so she wouldn’t have to go to the countryside as long as she had a job.
But Colton, my little brother, wasn’t doing well in school. If he didn’t. get into high school, he would have to go to the countryside. He’s only fourteen, so she was worried and decided to go to the countryside herself.
But Katherine looked good, after she went to the countryside, although she kept a low profile, she still caught the eye of the leader’s son.
She was harassed several times, but because the other party was the leader’s son, she had no way to complain, and others were afraid of the leader, so no one helped her.
She was scared to death, so she decided to go back to the city.
She had it all planned out. Once she got back to the city, she would take Glenna’s job, help Colton with his studies, get married as soon as he started high school. By the time Colton graduated from high school, four years had passed, and she would pass the job on to him.
She just asked the boss for a vacation, but he totally denied it!
I also told her, “The country sent these young people out to root themselves at the grassroots level and build the country. Let her think

carefully about her son’s choice of partner.”
Katherine felt like the sky was falling!
When I heard Lizzie say that, her tears couldn’t help but fall again.
She knew talking to her family was useless, they were so far away and couldn’t help her.
To control her emotions, she quietly took a deep breath.
“The team has been busy lately, so they may not approve…” she made. up a lame excuse.
Lizzie’s heart sank. Now that the autumn harvest is over, there’s no way
she’ll be busy!
Did something happen at this time in the previous life? Was Katherine afraid her family would worry, so she didn’t say anything?
“You just tell your village leader that you came back for my sister’s wedding and her husband who is a professor,” Lizzie’s voice was urgent.
She paused, emphasized her tone, as if applying some pressure, “Mr. Howland values me a lot and hopes my family can all attend our wedding. If you really can’t come back, then I might have to go to your place myself.”
Katherine on the other end of the phone went silent for a few seconds.
She seemed to sense Lizzie’s unusual determination in her words, a bit
strange.
But when she heard Lizzie keep mentioning the phrase “brother–in–law who is a professor,” it suddenly clicked in her mind!

If she threw Theron, that professor, under the bus to the boss, maybe the boss would let her go!
“Okay, got it. Lizzie. I’ll go ask for time off as soon as possible!”
Lizzie quickly reminded again, “Come back carly.”
Katherine nodded heavily with a nasal tone, tears falling down again.
After saying that, Katherine hung up the phone and then went back to the boss’s office.
Lizzie hung up the phone, and Glenna immediately took the receiver from her hand, wondering, “Lizzie broke up with that jerk Theron, why is he still talking about getting married?”
She just picked up the phone, said “hello” twice, and heard only a busy tone in the receiver.
She was just about to ask.
Emery suddenly pulled her aside and gave her a look, signaling her not to ask anything right now.
Emery’s face fell, the joy from before completely gone, and he gave Lizzie a complex look.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk at home.” He didn’t just silently pushed Lizzie’s wheelchair and headed home.
Glenna opened her mouth, with unspoken doubts in her mind, and then left the post office together.
The post office wasn’t far from Acagoza Heights, and there were quite a few neighbors around.
As soon as they walked out of the post office, a neighbor immediately

approached with an overly enthusiastic smile on his face and asked, “Hey, Glenna, just heard you on the phone, did Liz make up with Mr. Howland? Congratulations!”
Lizzie frowned slightly, she was just thinking about how to call Katherine back, completely forgot that there were too many people talking outside the post office, it was her negligence.
Glenna was already feeling down, and when she heard Theron’s name, she felt even more annoyed and casually said, “No, you heard wrong.”
“This is a big deal, why keep hiding it?”
Lizzie frowned and said in a cold voice, “You heard
