Chapter 142: The first wife of the third marriage had a daughter, but the second wife had no children...

Yao Zhizhi left the house and went straight to find Aunt Mao.

Aunt Mao knows all the gossip about family matters, even those in West City are no exception.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, just come on, don't be so polite." Aunt Mao took the fruit candy that Yao Zhizhi brought for the child and quickly made tea for her.

When it comes to gossip, Aunt Mao is very lively and starts telling stories right away.

Dou Zhener's father-in-law was originally a technician at the power plant. One of her two brothers-in-law worked as an electrician and the other worked at the telecommunications bureau, so the entire Xue family was familiar with the factory director.

The factory director's surname is Feng. He is only 37 years old this year and in the prime of life. He and his ex-wife have a daughter who is 16 this year. Three years after the child was born, he divorced his ex-wife because of emotional discord.

At that time, he was just a technician with a child and high requirements, so it was not easy for him to find a partner. Later, when he became the deputy factory director, a matchmaker introduced a good woman to him.

That was his wife, Ye Xinmei, who was under residential surveillance and whom he had just divorced.

Ye Xinmei is pretty, and her family isn't a bunch of leeches. As long as she lives a good life, her life will be prosperous.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The two had been married for eight or nine years, and the man had risen from deputy factory director to factory director, but Ye Xinmei still had not given birth to a child.

"But Director Feng is a good man. He has never urged her to have children. Over the years, some people have advised him to divorce and find another wife, but he always said that Ye Xinmei helped him raise his daughter, so he shouldn't be so heartless." Aunt Mao said, and took a sip of water.

Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but wonder, "If he divorces and finds another woman again, wouldn't that mean he's getting married for the third time? Why did he get divorced this time?"

"It's all because of that Xiao Zhao and Director Zhao. Ye Xinmei bribed the doctor and pretended to be pregnant to avoid punishment. You also know that during the period of residential surveillance, she was not allowed to leave Yicheng without permission. So a while ago, when my daughter missed her mother, Director Feng took her daughter directly to the south without taking Ye Xinmei with them." Aunt Mao said, and picked up her granddaughter and wiped her saliva.

This child, who has just learned to walk, is the most restless and runs everywhere.

After wiping his mouth, he went to play with his brothers and sisters.

Yao Zhizhi was afraid that she would fall, so she helped her when she stepped over the threshold, and little Nini even said thank you.

After the child followed Mao Ling away, Yao Zhizhi asked, "Did you have a conflict because you met your ex-wife?"

Aunt Mao nodded. "That's what she said, but I'm not sure if she exaggerated. Think about it, Ye Xinmei didn't have a child to begin with, and she felt uneasy. Seeing her husband come home and chat and laugh with the child, and she couldn't get a word in, she got upset. But she didn't dare to argue with him, so she had to secretly compete with the child. She would either put more salt in the cooking, saying her daughter was deliberately picky, or she would wash the couple's clothes and only leave the daughter's, saying that she wanted to train her to be self-reliant. After a while, the mother and daughter started to quarrel. The child was sixteen years old and had her own ideas. She simply threatened Ye Xinmei, saying that she would report her for faking the pregnancy, and then she would be imprisoned and the offense would be increased. Ye Xinmei got angry and fought with the child. Director Feng, seeing that the child was wronged, directly filed for divorce, and Ye Xinmei was also imprisoned."

"It sounds like Director Feng is pretty good to children." Yao Zhizhi doesn't want to see the next Dean Hai, who uses the name of loving his daughter to not marry and then has an affair outside.

So she asked quietly, "This Director Feng, shouldn't have any messy relationships with men and women, right?"

"I don't know about that. I've never heard of it. After all, it's from the west of the city. I'll ask someone I know for you later." Aunt Mao didn't want to lie. If she didn't know something, she didn't know it.

Yao Zhizhi didn't have time to go to the west of the city as it was too far. It was almost the end of the year and she was very busy, so she asked Aunt Mao to find out and let her know.

Aunt Mao naturally agreed immediately. Seeing Yao Zhizhi was about to leave, she pulled her aside and asked, "Is your little Yueyue about to be weaned?"

"It will be broken in the spring." Yao Zhizhi didn't want to see her daughter lose her little pearls during the Chinese New Year, as it would be heartbreaking.

It’s better to wait until after the New Year, when the late spring cold weather is over and the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, to wean the child.

Aunt Mao smiled and asked, "Then it's time to look for your third brother, right?"

"It's time to find him, but it still depends on him." Yao Zhizhi understood that he was thinking about her third brother again.

Alas, there is nothing I can do. Third brother is just handsome, kind, and family-oriented. That’s normal.

Moreover, Aunt Mao is more tactful. Unlike others, she doesn't ask questions repeatedly and stops at the right point.

So Yao Zhizhi didn't object to this topic, she just said: "Auntie Mao, let's celebrate the New Year first. After the New Year, we can slowly think about all the big and small things."

"Yes, have a good New Year first." Aunt Mao smiled and saw her out.

I saw Maggie Ho at the entrance of the alley. She looked much better. It must have been really hard to perform this play until now.

He leaned closer and asked, "Has the Cao family not been bothering us recently?"

"I don't know whose idea it was, but they had the kids write me three letters saying they missed their mom." He Meiqi sighed, "Auntie Mao, I'm always worried that things will get tough between Li Wu and me."

Aunt Mao felt sorry for the couple, so she suggested, "If all else fails, have Li Wu find his old boss and get him a new job. You two can go out of town together. I don't believe the Cao family will be able to find you."

That's right. He Meiqi smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Thanks, Aunt Mao. I'll discuss it with Li Wu later."

"Go ahead." Aunt Mao was happy as she was doing good deeds every day.

When she turned around and saw her son-in-law who was still harboring evil intentions, she was so angry that she rolled her eyes, said nothing, and went back to the house.

Kong Badou was depressed. Why was there no movement in Mao Ling's belly since she gave birth to her fourth child?

The women in the alley seemed to have made an appointment. He Meiqi and Yao Zhizhi were also silent.

How strange.

Wouldn’t it be better to have more children? More children, more blessings, these women, really!

Yao Zhizhi convened an editorial meeting.

After the release of Mass Life, its reputation has been very good. Currently, 10,000 copies have been printed and all have been sold out.

At today's meeting, she officially announced something: "Congratulations to our Comrade Xiao Jiang, he has been promoted to a regular employee!"

Warm applause broke out, and Xiao Jiang stood up with a smile to accept everyone's blessings.

Then, Yao Zhizhi announced the news of the publishing house's expansion: "Please welcome our new colleagues, Comrade Ding Can and Comrade Zhao Maimiao."

Ding Can is the name Lao Wu gave herself. She didn't like the name her uncle gave her, "Tuwawa", which sounded ugly.

She is an adult and does not need anyone's signature. All the procedures have been completed.

Applause broke out and the two young female comrades stood up.

Yao Zhizhi quickly announced the 490,000 orders the two had secured and congratulated them on their first success in their careers.

Finally, Yao Zhizhi announced, "Starting this month, our publishing house will set up a dedicated sales department. Currently, there are only two people in the department: Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao. There are still vacancies in other provinces, and everyone is welcome to actively apply for them. Any orders you bring in will be counted as commission. It's okay if you're not in the sales department."

The young people were eager to try, but Zhou Juan spoiled the fun by asking, "Editor-in-Chief Yao, what exactly is the New Year gift? Can you give us a hint? We can't wait."

Yao Zhizhi has everything ready, but she just doesn’t want to announce it now. Is there a problem?

He laughed and said, "Why rush? How can it be a surprise if it's announced in advance?"

"That's right, we're not in a hurry. Editor-in-Chief Yao, please take your time to prepare." The others quickly echoed.

I don’t know how much commission I get from selling magazines alone, so who cares about those New Year gifts?

Follow Editor-in-Chief Yao and you can eat meat and make money, nothing else matters!

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Juan came over and asked for leave, saying she was going to see a doctor.

Yao Zhizhi didn't make things difficult for her and approved it.

In the afternoon, Zhou Juan went to the corridor in front of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital to wait for the Zihe car.

Unexpectedly, Cao Guangyuan also came to buy this. Although the two had never spoken to each other, they knew each other.

Cao Guangyuan nodded politely: "It's Xiao Zhou."

"Why did you buy this? Didn't your wife just give birth?" Zhou Juan glanced at Cao Guangyuan, who was only 1.7 meters tall and didn't look very good.

Still, the tall Xu Wei is more pleasing to the eye.

Cao Guangyuan smiled and said, "My mother said that eating this can help me give birth to a son."

Zhou Juan wanted to laugh, but then she thought, didn’t she also believe in the folk remedy that said eating placenta would guarantee pregnancy?

Okay, let’s not laugh at someone who has only taken fifty steps.

The doctor hadn't come out yet, so the two had to wait in the corridor.

After all, this thing is not easy to get at the moment, and you need to find a specific doctor to get it.

Waiting was boring, so the two started chatting.

Zhou Juan was curious: "Are you really going to listen to your mother? Do you have to give birth to a son?"

Cao Guangyuan said confidently: "What if they are all daughters? When they get married and get bullied by their husband's family, who will support them?"

Zhou Juan laughed: "Come on, don't brothers and sisters often ask their sisters for help? Don't count on them for support, and don't let them cause trouble. Your thinking is fundamentally wrong."

"How is that wrong? Hasn't it been like this for thousands of years? Besides, I don't believe you don't want to have a son." Cao Guangyuan curled his lips. His mother would never say anything wrong to him.

I must give birth to a son.

Zhou Juan rolled her eyes. "For thousands of years, men have been the breadwinners of the family. So why are women now also allowed to work and support the family?"

“…” Cao Guangyuan was not good at speaking and had not received much education. Besides, his mother had never taught him about this. He opened and closed his mouth but did not know how to respond, so he had to shut up.

Zhou Juan laughed: "Look at you, you're so clumsy with words, and you don't even take a piss to look at your short stature. Yao Yingying is so pretty and tall, you should be content with following you, and stop being naughty. If you make her run away, you'll have your day."

Cao Guangyuan was so angry that he almost died. More than one person had mocked him like this. What happened to his short stature?

People with flat heads and clean faces are no less than others!

He was not convinced and wanted to argue with Zhou Juan, but he couldn't win the argument. He was also afraid of offending Zhou Juan's mother from that province. In the end, his face turned purple with anger. As soon as he got the placenta, he turned around and ran away.

Zhou Juan curled her lips in disdain, "Stupid man, you don't know how to appreciate what you have."

After taking the placenta and asking how to use it, Zhou Juan went back.

It’s so cold, I won’t go in the afternoon. I’ve already taken the day off.

Just missed the delivery truck.

Yao Zhizhi asked Zhang Wang and her second grandfather to help move the things to the warehouse. On the day off, they would come back to sort them out and pack each one individually.

Zhang Wang and his second uncle kept their mouths shut and were not afraid of the news leaking out.

Second Grandpa was worried about losing his things, so he lived in the message room starting that night. Yao Zhizhi bought him an electric blanket and a hot water bottle before she agreed to let him stay.

Believe it or not, there really are dishonest thieves who come to steal things.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Jin, who was on duty, was called over and caught a thief. The thief was a gangster from the slum. He saw the truck coming during the day and wanted to steal some things to take home for the New Year.

The next day, Yao Zhizhi learned about this and was very grateful. She stuffed a large basket of delicious food for her second grandfather.

For several days in a row, there were thieves coming every day. Yao Zhizhi didn't wait any longer. She picked a day off and called Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao to go together to pack the New Year gifts.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Dou Zhener running towards her crying and begging her for help.

"What's going on?" Yao Zhizhi looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she asked Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao to go to the publishing house to read some books first, and she would come later.

After Dou Zhen'er and the others left, she started crying and said, "That Ye Xinmei's family doesn't want Director Feng to look for her again, so they came to my house and made a scene. What should I do?"
