After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
Qin Lie hadn't expected so many things to happen, and now it seemed the Li family wouldn't let it go.
He planned to go back and give his family one last talk; if they still couldn't see things clearly, he wouldn't interfere anymore.
Qin Lie glanced at Su Ti, feeling embarrassed to stay any longer, and left.
"Nannan, this person isn't very reliable." After the man left, Grandma Guo closed the door before turning to look at her granddaughter.
"Indeed, he knows very well what kind of person his younger sister is. He knows she's brainless, but he didn't take precautions earlier. He only came to beg for forgiveness after something happened."
“He came with the idea that we wouldn’t hold it against him, thinking that things had already come to this point, and since our family had given up on that person anyway, it didn’t matter whether he got married or not.”
"Now that I hear that he only came back because he caused trouble, he's cleared himself of all responsibility. It's not that people are selfish, it's that they're blatantly selfish and treat others like fools."
Suti thought about how he had repeatedly emphasized his gratitude during his visits, but hadn't taken any concrete action.
She thought back to her past life. How could this person not know who Wei Bowen was, since he could stand with him?
It's clear that he's someone who only considers his own interests and doesn't care about moral principles. Fortunately, she never thought he was someone she could get along with.
"Nannan, since that's the case, you should talk to the old marshal properly, otherwise that person will definitely come after you when he gets up."
Grandma Guo was even more worried that the child from the front would hold a grudge against them. Now that they had a powerful backer, he might do something that would catch them off guard.
"Let's pack our things first, and I'll have Baichuan talk to Grandpa when he gets back." With such a big belly, Suti is too scared to even walk a few steps in the courtyard, let alone go to the main compound alone.
"Alright, it won't make a difference if it's just a little longer. This person has done a good deed by inadvertently giving us a tip."
Grandma Guo looked at her daughter's belly. She was about to give birth, so all these things had to be put aside. A safe delivery was the most important thing.
Suti and her grandmother packed their things with bags full of stuff, while Li Baichuan was extremely anxious at work these past few days.
"Brother Chuan, after today's trip, are you not going to drive anymore?" Biancheng calculated that they had been driving for several days in a row, just thinking about taking a vacation later.
His sister-in-law is about to give birth, and Brother Chuan has been very irritable these past few days.
"Yes, Master Lu and I have discussed it." Li Baichuan has been visiting all the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the area during this period.
At first, he looked at what kind of business Master Lu was doing, and felt that it was not a safe bet, not to mention the profit in between.
He kept thinking about the unsold goods at the supply and marketing cooperative and the piles of goods at the department store, plus the fact that the Kang family was now planning to make a comeback in the black market.
He and Biancheng partnered to distribute the goods from that area to the surrounding black markets, just as the black market in Beijing was being severely impacted.
The Kang family is also expanding into the surrounding areas. It would be a lie to say that the Kang family hadn't investigated his identity. The reason they agreed to cooperate with him so quickly was because they valued the Li family behind him.
Biancheng was in charge of matters concerning the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative; no one knew them better than him.
After all, many of those goods over the years came from the family compound in their area, so it's not hard to know one or two people.
Master Lu was in charge of the transportation, and Li Baichuan was not involved in the entire process; this was just the beginning.
Later, his wife was about to give birth, which required some attention, but fortunately, both of them were reliable, and they managed to get going on that road.
"Brother Chuan, after your wife gives birth, will you still be doing this job?" Biancheng was originally assigned to a different driver.
When Yu Qingfeng finished his training and was assigned a master, Li Baichuan took over Biancheng.
He also mentioned that he might need to take leave, so he could work with Master Lu, and the three of them could work together when he returned.
The director had no objections, since no matter how you look at it, there was one more person, and he couldn't afford to offend either Bian Cheng or Li Baichuan.
He knew the two had a good relationship and could understand why they wanted to work together. Master Lu was a senior craftsman, so he would definitely follow along.
Otherwise, the transport team wouldn't feel comfortable with two inexperienced drivers.
The three of them are getting along better and better now. Take Master Lu for example, he's made more money than he did in a year during this period.
He was content and planned to just follow Li Baichuan around. It was good to be under a big tree, and he wouldn't leave no matter who chased him away.
"You guys keep going. This is only temporary. I have other plans for the future."
Thinking about what the Kang family had mentioned, Li Baichuan decided to wait until his wife gave birth before making any decisions.
Now, the world is vast, but his wife giving birth is the most important thing.
Biancheng didn't want to bother his brother Chuan with these matters anymore. He knew that as long as his sister-in-law didn't give birth, his brother Chuan wouldn't be able to work peacefully.
After Su went to the military hospital to prepare for childbirth, her family members became even more anxious.
"Girl, don't worry about these things at home. Just focus on giving birth to the baby."
The old marshal came during his lunch break. He was thinking about the Qin family's affairs and he would take care of them. Right now, nothing was more important than Su Yatou.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. I'm staying in the hospital now. Everyone here is very nice, and Grandma, the old doctor, is here too. I'm just waiting for the baby to be born."
Suti saw that these people came here whenever they had free time, and they couldn't feel at ease unless they stayed here. He didn't know how to persuade them.
She was very anxious, and the closer it got to the end, the more unbearable it became. Holding her big belly, she just hoped to give birth soon.
It's better now than in my previous life, when I was in labor for a whole day and night before giving birth.
Aside from Li Baichuan being anxious and upset, the whole family disliked her for being spoiled.
Everyone put immense pressure on her, causing her physical pain and mental breakdown. It's a miracle she was able to give birth safely.
She has taken good care of herself throughout her life, maintained a good weight, had well-behaved children, and was surrounded by caring relatives.
She will definitely have a safe and smooth delivery.
"Grandma, don't tell Mom and the others yet. Let them know after I give birth." Su Ti thought that she hadn't given birth yet, and telling them would only make them anxious.
My mom will definitely find a way to take time off to come over, so it's better to wait until she gives birth and then take time off together to come and spend a few more days with her.
“I know, but your mother has given birth before, so she knows how to keep track of dates. I bet she’s been tossing and turning these past few days.”
Looking at her daughter's belly, Grandma Guo felt very uncertain, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
"Grandpa, you and Dad should go back first. Let Xiao Liu stay. If anything happens, I'll have him call you."
"I shouldn't be giving birth today, so you can all go to work without worry." Suti knew the symptoms of labor, but she didn't have any signs of labor at all.
"Okay, if you need anything, just have Xiao Liu go to the dean's office to borrow a phone to contact me."
The old marshal reluctantly agreed to the plan, as it was inconvenient for two grown men to be standing there.
