Dongqing helped his wife take off her shoes and socks and put her feet in a basin to wash them.

This was the first time in over a year of marriage that Dongqing had washed his wife's feet. Li Yuzhu said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for washing my feet. I wish you could treat me like this for the rest of your life."

Dongqing said, "Look at you, so pathetic. I was just washing your feet. I'll wash your feet every night from now on."

Li Yuzhu said, "It's not as simple as washing feet. You've really changed; you've changed so much that I almost don't recognize you anymore."

If Dongqing treats his wife this well after marriage, washing her feet is nothing. Li Yuzhu is like parched land receiving rain; how could she not be happy?

After Dongqing washed his wife's feet, he dried them with a towel, lifted her up and placed her on the bed, then sat down to wash his own feet.

After washing his feet, Dongqing poured the water into the yard, then went to bed and lay down next to his wife.

Li Yuzhu kissed her husband on the forehead and said, "Just as Second Sister said, you've really grown up."

Dong Qing chuckled and slipped his hand inside his wife's clothes to tickle her, saying with a laugh, "You dare to take advantage of your husband? What do you mean by 'grown up'? Aren't I an adult too?"

After listening to her husband's words, and seeing him tickle her, Li Yuzhu lay on the bed laughing uncontrollably. After laughing, she said, "I didn't mean to belittle you at all. You've really grown up in the past few months. If you were still like you were before, I really don't know if we could make it to the end."

Dongqing said, "Okay, I'm all grown up now, okay? Hurry up and take off your clothes and go to bed!"

The next day, the couple slept until dawn. Their mother woke them up in the yard. Li Yuzhu snuggled in her husband's arms and said, "We're so tired. We went to bed so early last night, but we still couldn't sleep in."

Dongqing gently pushed his wife away from his arms, sat up and said, "Making money is never easy. Get up quickly. We need to check the truck and load it in the morning. Once we're done loading, we can leave early and try to get some sleep so we won't be so tired later in the night."

After listening to her husband's words, Li Yuzhu sat up, got dressed, and got out of bed. They went to the yard to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

After washing up, Dongqing and his wife went out of the house, walked to the tractor, took the tools off the vehicle, and carried out a general inspection of the tractor, tightening any loose screws that needed tightening.

Just then, a woman walked up to the couple, stopped, and asked, "Yuzhu, is this the car you bought?"

Li Yuzhu looked up at the woman and saw that it was her neighbor, Su Guifang. Her husband had died just over a year after they got married, and people secretly called her Widow Su.

Su Guifang is very beautiful and only 23 years old this year. She has never remarried since her husband died. Widows are always surrounded by gossip, and there are rumors that she is immoral. However, no one can say for sure whether she has cheated on her husband. Young widows are most likely to attract gossip, especially a woman as beautiful as Su Guifang.

Li Yuzhu said, "Oh, it's Sister Guifang! Where are you going?"

Su Guifang said, "I had some business to attend to a few days ago and sent my daughter to my parents' house. I'll go back and pick her up. You all go ahead with your work, I'm off."

Li Guifang got married at the age of 18. Although she is not very old, her daughter is already 5 years old this year.

After Li Guifang left, Dongqing said, "Who is that woman? She's so alluring."

After Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu got married, they were not well received by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he rarely visited his father-in-law's house. It's normal that he didn't recognize Su Guifang.

Li Yuzhu said, "She's my neighbor, a widow whose husband died a few years ago. Let me tell you, Dongqing, widows always cause trouble. Stay away from her in the future."

Dong Qing asked, "Could it be that she..."

Before her husband could finish speaking, Li Yuzhu interrupted, "Don't ask anymore. I know what you want to ask. I've only heard that she's a bit promiscuous. You should stay away from women like that, whether they've cheated or not. You know the saying 'a widow's door is always full of gossip.' If you get too close to her, people will make up all sorts of stories about you, even if they didn't happen. I'm telling you, Dongqing, you absolutely mustn't have any affairs outside of your marriage."

Dong Qing laughed and said, "You underestimate your husband. Don't worry, you're the only one in my heart for the rest of my life."

Li Yuzhu said, "I'm relieved to hear that."

Just then, her mother walked to the front door and said, "Zhu'er, come back for dinner as soon as you're done!"

"knew!"

After Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she packed the tools into the car, closed the car door, and went home with her husband for dinner.

After breakfast, they drove their tractor to the porcelain factory. Director Li smiled and said, "You're back so soon. You must have made a fortune this time!"

Dong Qing said, "I can't say I'm getting rich. As long as the price is low, it will sell well. It's all about small profits and quick turnover. It's better than working for someone else. I can only pay the factory for the last shipment first. I'll have to buy on credit this time."

Factory Director Li said with a smile, "Sure, from now on you can just order from the top and pay when you come back. To be honest, our factory is overflowing with goods and we're about to have to close for the holidays. You've finally solved our worries."

Dong Qing said, "I've solved the factory's worries, so the factory should solve mine too. To be honest, when we transport goods to other places, we don't make much money except for refueling and repairing vehicles. I hope to lower the price even further from the last time."

Factory Manager Li said, "Okay, but I won't lower the price too much, because the factory doesn't make much profit at this price. Also, I can give you all the defective products. You can exchange them for some money. All the defective products produced in the future will be yours. I won't charge you a penny for the defective products. Is that alright?"

Defective products can still be sold for money, and the profit will be even higher. No matter when, it's always easier to do business without investing capital. Such a big truck is just a matter of loading it higher; it can carry as much as it wants. He said, "Okay, hurry up and arrange for people to load the truck. It's cloudy today, so let's set off as soon as possible!"

"I'll arrange for people to load the truck right away," said Director Li, before walking to the back.

Dong Qing said, "Yu Zhu, you go back and get some sleep for half a day. I'll keep an eye on things here."

Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "Go back and get some sleep! You've had a long and tiring journey. Besides, you're not as good as me at loading cargo. I used to work in a porcelain factory, so I'm the expert in this area."

Dong Qing said, "Okay, their goods have been sitting in the warehouse for too long, and there's a lot of junk in there. Keep a close eye on things here."

"Go back to sleep without worry," Li Yuzhu said.

After Dong Qing left, the factory manager arranged for people to load the truck. During the loading process, Li Yuzhu discovered that there was a lot of damaged goods. The damaged goods were temporarily placed on the ground, and soon a large pile of them was on the ground. Li Yuzhu went to the factory manager's office and said, "Uncle, the goods have been piled up in the warehouse for too long, and a lot of them have been crushed. Can you arrange for two people to go over and untie them and replace the damaged goods?"

The factory manager said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go and exchange the goods right away."
