The next day, while it was still slightly light, Zhou Mingqian knocked on his father's door.

Old Mrs. Zhou rubbed her eyes, yawned, and came out wearing her clothes. She whispered, "Knock, knock, knock! A dog's belly can't hide two ounces of oil."

Zhou Mingqian sighed helplessly, "My goodness, you only gave me five cents."

"If you think it's too little, give it back to me," Old Lady Zhou said, reaching out her hand without any politeness.

Zhou Mingqian didn't respond to that question. "Mom, where's the bicycle?"

"Car, car, car, do I look like a car? Wait," Old Mrs. Zhou muttered. If her husband hadn't agreed, she really wouldn't have wanted to. It's just a few steps, why does she have to ride a bike?

He gently pushed the cart out, saying, "You better keep an eye on it for me."

"I know, Mom. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of my wife."

"That's one aspect, but more importantly, it's the car. Otherwise, you won't be able to afford to lose it if you sell it," Old Lady Zhou instructed. You see, this car is the only one of its kind in her family. If it weren't for her husband's good friend, where would her family have gotten the ticket?

Zhou Mingqian's lips twitched involuntarily, and he said lazily, "I know. Oh, by the way, I boiled two eggs."

After saying that, he quickly pushed the car away.

A furious roar came from behind, "You brat!" Now she wasn't afraid of waking people up.

Zhou Mingqian didn't care and ran to his wife to show off, "Honey, have some eggs. Also, I got the bicycle. I'll give you a ride later."

Shen Banxia was also a little hungry at this moment. After eating one, she finally had something to eat.

Here, you can eat the rest.

Zhou Mingqian swallowed hard. "You're eating your wife, but you're two people."

Shen Banxia was really craving the farm-fresh, all-natural eggs.

Sigh, who would have thought? She's even craving eggs now.

After tidying up briefly, Zhou Mingqian thoughtfully tied his clothes to the back of the bicycle.

After we settled in, he said, "Wife, hold on tight to my clothes, we're leaving." After all, the only way to get to the county town was by taking a bus from the commune.

"Okay," Shen Banxia said cautiously.

"Wait for me."

Zhou Mingqian pretended not to hear and quickly rode away on his bicycle.

An angry voice came from behind, "Aaaaaah, Zhou Mingqian, I hate you all!"

"Hahahaha," Zhou Mingqian laughed heartily upon hearing the voice behind him, and couldn't help but say smugly, "Hehe, Zhou Mingjiao, that little brat, thinks she can chase after me? How could she possibly succeed?"

He has a sleazy, shameless look. If it weren't for his good-looking face, he would look incredibly sleazy.

It was already daylight, and there were already people on the road. Looking at the couple, someone said, "Hey, Zhou, where are you two going? Your mother really gave you her bicycle to ride!"

Zhou's mother's stinginess was well-known, especially towards Zhou Mingqian, who was spoiled by his grandmother, whom she treated like a thief.

In Zhou's mother's eyes, he was a spendthrift who didn't cherish things at all.

Zhou Mingqian beamed with pride, "Hey, my wife's pregnant, so we're going to the county hospital to get some nutritional supplements and stuff."

"Oh, right? I've heard your mother mention it. Congratulations!" The visitor knew that it was indeed something to celebrate that Zhou had a child after four years of marriage. But was it necessary to go to the hospital?

Zhou Mingqian was in high spirits, and they didn't care about the doubts of the newcomers.

Shen Banxia smiled faintly to the side. As a seasoned gossip, she believed that in no time, the couple would become the talk of the village.

But, just like with your own husband, who cares about all that?

Although I was a surgeon in my past life and I studied traditional Chinese medicine in this life, I also understand gynecology. However, a doctor cannot heal himself, and since this is my first pregnancy, I am always worried.

Moreover, being familiar with the script, she wanted to inquire about the matter.

After arriving in the county town, the two went to see a doctor first.

Shen Banxia listened attentively, while Zhou Mingqian next to her took out his old notebook and scribbled down notes.

This was the first time Director Li had seen such a diligent young couple studying, and he couldn't help but share some of his experiences.

"Actually, the most important thing is to pay attention to nutrition, and pregnant women should also keep a happy mood."

"Yes, yes, yes, we've got Dr. Li's name on us," Zhou Mingqian nodded repeatedly.

After finishing up at the hospital, he said, "Honey, I went to exchange some food coupons. Let's go to the state-run restaurant."

Don't let Zhou Mingqian's lazy and dissolute lifestyle at home fool you; he's not exactly a spendthrift and lazy bum in the village's eyes. He's actually quite capable of making money.

But ultimately, it can't be brought into the light.

Shen Banxia knew that she was the one who had saved Zhou Mingqian on the mountain back then.

Their relationship began at that time.

Back then, Zhou Mingqian went to great lengths to find out which items at the purchasing station were valuable.

Just like medicinal herbs, processed herbs and fresh herbs are completely different.

Back then, he would eagerly exchange the delicious food his grandmother made with others for information, and he learned some skills, but they were all rudimentary.

It wasn't until I met my wife that I truly began to understand how to process medicinal herbs.

Zhou Mingqian looked at his wife with love. No one would casually teach someone else how to make a living.

So, despite their laziness, the couple actually have quite a bit of money.

But since they didn't separate, the couple quietly made a fortune.

"Wife, how can you be so wonderful?" Zhou Mingqian couldn't help but exclaim.

Shen Banxia didn't know how the topic had come up here. "Let's wait a bit before we eat. Let's go to the post office."

"What's wrong, honey?"

"You know, I've been inquiring about my grandparents' situation, and I've finally gotten a lead recently. I was thinking, could I send them a letter first?"

"I think we shouldn't rush things," Zhou Mingqian quickly reassured his wife, seeing her anxious. "Honey, I don't mean to stop you, but Grandpa and Grandma went to so much trouble to bring you here. We don't even know if the people who were secretly watching you have left yet. If you send a letter and it gets exposed, not only will you be in danger, but Grandpa and Grandma might also be in trouble..."

The unspoken message is obvious.

Shen Banxia slumped her shoulders helplessly. Yes, her grandparents had said that someone was watching their family behind their backs.

Seeing Shen Banxia's helpless look, he said, "Wife, don't worry, let's think of other ways. Now that we know the place, right? I'll find an excuse and go see it myself."

"Hmm," she knew it was just words of comfort. These days, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere. If you don't have a suitable reason, where can you go?

Suddenly, Shen Banxia thought of a plot point; perhaps she could use that to her advantage.

But is it really a good idea to negotiate with a tiger for its skin?

Thinking of her suffering grandparents, Shen Banxia made up her mind.
