Before he could even leave the living room, Li Qin had already walked to the living room doorway carrying a basket of large steamed buns.

"Xiao Chu, lift the curtain, I'll bring you some steamed buns that your brother-in-law just bought."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Hei pounced over and opened the curtain.

“Young ones, I don’t have any of these buns for you. If you want some, ask your master to make them for you.”

Li Qin said as she walked in, carrying a comb.

Ding Qiunan had already walked over and taken the things from her sister's hands.

"Qiu Nan, how was the baby last night?"

"She's alright. She fussed a bit around 1 or 2 a.m., but otherwise she's been quite well-behaved, sleeping after she's eaten. It's just that Yueyue's milk supply might not be enough. I'll ask Wenxuan to prescribe some medicine to help her produce more milk later."

"That child is so thin, how could he possibly be able to? It would be a miracle if he could even be born."

"Sister, this has little to do with being fat or thin," Li Chu said, taking a bite of a bun from the steamer and speaking indistinctly.

“What do you know? How can it not be a big deal? I’ve been working in the neighborhood office for so many years, I’ve seen so many…” Li Qin realized what her brother did after saying just a few words, but she still said unconvinced, “Hmph, anyway, people who are too thin tend to have less breast milk.”

Li Chu chuckled and didn't argue any further. He lowered his head and began to eat the steamed buns in large bites.

Li Qin glanced at her sister-in-law and said with some confusion, "That's true. Qiu Nan was quite thin back then, but the two children couldn't finish their food. Jia Yuan seems to be the same way."

"Sister, it's nothing serious, it's just a physical issue. Most new mothers will have plenty of breast milk after two doses of this medicine."

Since that was someone else's area of ​​expertise, Li Qin stopped dwelling on the matter and instead asked, "Xiao Chu, I saw Old Man Cao come looking for you the other day. What was he doing here?"

"I asked Master Cao to find me a few books about ceramics, and I plan to read them when I have some free time."

"Why are you still interested in that thing?"

"Sis, let me tell you, those things are very valuable."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan, who was initially feeling sleepy, immediately perked up.

She chattered on and on, leaving Li Qin completely bewildered.

"What do you mean it's worth that much money? That thing is just made of clay, isn't it?"

“That’s different. I always thought those junk items could only be sold for a few dollars, but this time it really opened my eyes. When Master Cao brought him the books that day, he said that the buyer was willing to pay 120,000.”

"That...that broken bowl in the study?" Li Qin asked incredulously, her eyes wide.

She had seen the bowl on the bookshelf before, but she hadn't paid it any attention, assuming her brother had just put it there for show. Now, upon hearing that it was worth so much money, she was almost speechless.

"Hmm, sis, how about it? Do you still think it's junk now?"

"How can it be worth so much money? Are these people crazy, spending so much money on something that can't be eaten or drunk?"

"Who knows? They just want to do it."

"They're insane, absolutely insane. Things are finally starting to look a little better, and these people are treating money like it's nothing," Li Qin muttered, shaking her head.

"That's not right. Where did they get so much money? I see the newspapers all over the place advertising people with 10,000 yuan. If there are so few people with 10,000 yuan, how can someone come up with so much money just by buying a broken bowl?"

"Sister, the newspaper reports aren't necessarily false, they're just incomplete. Many people don't want to publicize how much money they've earned. You're like those backpackers, whether they travel north or south. Actually, many of them are very wealthy, but you just can't tell, right?"

"Yes, what you said is absolutely right." Li Qin nodded in deep agreement.

"You know Old Li from the machinery factory, right? It's the third alley behind us."

"Yeah, I know."

"Their third son hasn't worked since he came back from the countryside, so he went to the south with some other people. Last year, he bought a big color TV for the family. His two sisters-in-law were so jealous they almost died."

Li Qin was talking about something that Li Chu and Ding Qiunan both knew. Old Li had three sons. The eldest and second eldest sons took over their parents' jobs at the factory and got married early.

Only the third brother couldn't find a job after he came back. He just ate and slept at home all day. Without a job, finding a partner was impossible. He stayed at home idly for several years, and his two sisters-in-law disliked him no matter what.

Two years ago, my third brother helped a friend who had returned from the countryside to travel to the south. This finally gave him a way out. In just one year, he got a big color TV for his family. Now he can finally hold his head high.

The matchmakers who used to avoid his mother are now starting to show up at their door.

"Sis, don't just look, eat some too."

"You guys eat quickly, I already ate at home. Hmm? Where's Wenhui? Isn't she up yet?"

"She probably hasn't gotten up yet. She's been running around a lot lately, and she went to bed late last night, so she's probably exhausted."

"You two eat, I'll go call her. She has to go to work later, she needs to eat breakfast."

As she spoke, Li Qin stood up and walked out.

She had already reached the door when she turned back and asked, "Xiao Chu, are all antiques valuable?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the item. There are quite a few tricks involved. What's wrong, sis?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just asking."

...

After breakfast, Li Chu took a car to the hospital to ask for leave for his wife and son.

After a night of gossip, everyone knew he had a grandson. From the moment he entered the hospital, people kept congratulating him.

He had originally planned to go to work in the morning, but seeing this situation, he decided to just go home. Duan Jianing and Liu Ziqiang also came over in his car.

Even after returning home, they found no peace. People kept coming to offer gifts, and when it got dark and no one was coming anymore, they stared blankly at the huge pile of milk powder and malted milk powder.

The Female CEO's All-Powerful Bodyguard

Oh, and children's clothes too.

Ding Qiunan pointed to the clothes on the cabinet and said, "Our little rascal hasn't needed to buy clothes for several years."

The child's nickname is "Stinky Baby," but we haven't decided on a formal name yet.

"Clothes are fine, but when will we finish drinking all this milk powder and malted milk?" Dad Ding picked up a bag of milk powder and looked at it.

"Dad, take some over later and make some to drink in the morning, so you don't have to bother making porridge."

“We don’t want it.” Dad shook his head and put the milk powder back on the table.

"You and my sister should take some back with you. This stuff has an expiration date. It would be a waste if we left it here and couldn't finish it."

"Old man, just take it when I tell you to, stop with all the nonsense."

Well, as soon as Mom spoke, Dad immediately stopped arguing.
