Uncle Wang and Wang Yingxue's two cousins excitedly asked, "Where? Where?!"
Especially Wang's eldest and second cousins, they weren't home when Wang Yingxue came back last time, so they didn't see her.
Before long, Huang Jianguo had driven the tractor to the front of the Wang family's house.
Since it was already quite late, only Wang Yingxue and Huang Jianguo got off the bus; the others simply stood up and greeted Uncle Wang and the others.
The other women who were chatting in the yard couldn't sit still any longer and ran out to watch the tractor.
"My goodness, it seems Yingxue really married well! She can borrow cars and tractors so easily!"
"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen a tractor up close."
"Hey, do you think Yingxue has any unmarried siblings in her husband's family?"
Huang Qinqin and the others felt quite helpless sitting inside the tractor. They just didn't get off, but you can't treat them like they're invisible, can you?
They heard everything those aunties said perfectly. However, since they weren't familiar with them, none of Huang Qinqin and the others said a word.
Soon, Uncle Wang and the others packed their things and got on the tractor. After Huang Jianguo made sure they were all seated, he drove the tractor back to the city.
The other women, smelling the tractor's exhaust fumes, watched them leave with envy.
......
When they returned to the city, Huang Jianguo first took Grandpa Huang and the others back to their residential compound. After ensuring their safe arrival, he then took Huang Qinqin home.
Because we still need to use the tractor tomorrow morning to take Grandpa Huang and Uncle Wang back.
So Huang Jianguo planned to leave the tractor in the Xu family's yard for one night and then come back to drive it away early the next morning.
Upon seeing Huang Qinqin and the others arrive home, Zhang Yumei immediately went to check on them to see if Huang Qinqin had been hurt or injured.
Huang Qinqin cooperated fully and turned around to show Zhang Yumei.
Seeing that Huang Qinqin had no bruises or anything, Zhang Yumei nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Jianguo, it's almost lunchtime, why don't you stay for lunch?"
"Thank you, Auntie, but no need. I've already cooked dinner at home, I'll just go back and eat."
After Huang Jianguo finished speaking with a smile, he said to Huang Qinqin, "Little sister, I have something I want to ask you. Come with me for a moment."
Seeing that Huang Jianguo was about to stand and talk to Huang Qinqin, Xu Junhui suggested, "Brother, why don't you and Qinqin go to the study and sit down to chat? You've had a long morning."
"Alright, let's talk in the study then."
In the study
After helping Huang Qinqin sit down, Xu Junhui tactfully left, leaving the siblings alone.
Huang Qinqin, half-lying and half-sitting, looked at Huang Jianguo and asked somewhat lazily, "Big brother, is there something you want to tell me?"
Upon hearing her words, Huang Jianguo rubbed his index finger and thumb together incessantly, unsure of where to begin.
Seeing Huang Jianguo's hand movements, Huang Qinqin exclaimed inwardly: "Huh? Big brother is actually nervous, that's rare."
Huang Jianguo has never been one to show his emotions outwardly, but he has a habit of constantly rubbing his thumb with his index finger when he gets nervous.
The last time Huang Qinqin saw him do this was on her wedding day with Xu Junhui.
"Big brother, just say what you want to say. I'm your sister, so don't be nervous."
Huang Jianguo nodded calmly, but his hands moved even faster.
He took a deep breath and then said, "That's right, as you know, your sister-in-law has a big appetite."
Upon hearing this, Huang Qinqin nodded vigorously, thinking to herself: It's not just a little big! It's exceptionally big!
"But as you know, my current salary is only slightly higher than that of an ordinary worker. Right now, it's just enough to barely support your sister-in-law."
“But after your sister-in-law gets pregnant and has a baby, my salary will definitely not be enough. I can’t ask my parents to help me out.”
"So I was thinking, should I apply to the factory to go on some long-distance trips?"
Hearing his words, Huang Qinqin's heart skipped a beat, and she asked with a serious expression, "Brother, tell me honestly, do you just want to go on long-distance driving?"
Huang Jianguo gave a wry smile: "I can't hide it from you after all. It was one of the other drivers in the factory who asked me if I wanted to drive long distances."
"One reason is that the factory provides extra subsidies for long-distance driving."
"Another reason is that when driving long distances, you can bring back some goods and earn some money."
"The main reason I came to see you this time is to borrow some money. I can pay you back as soon as the goods are sold."
After listening, Huang Qinqin's expression remained rather serious, not because she felt it was wrong for them to earn money by carrying goods on their long-distance trips.
Rather, it's because long-distance travel is riskier; sometimes, when passing through remote and impoverished areas, one might be robbed by locals.
"Brother, lending you the money is definitely not a problem, but I hope you won't rush to go on long-distance driving."
"How about this, I'll ask Dad and Junhui later to find out the situation and see how risky it is."
"Then I'll give you an answer tonight, okay? If it's feasible, I'll bring the money over to you tonight."
Huang Jianguo nodded. He knew that Huang Qinqin was doing it for his own good. He was actually a little uneasy, wondering if his decision to drive long distances was the right one.
However, he is now married. Although Wang Yingxue's situation was something he had never imagined, now that he has married her, he will take responsibility for her.
Seeing that his current salary was not enough, he could only try to improve himself and earn more money.
In fact, if Huang Jianguo was unwilling, he could have divorced Wang Yingxue, or simply told her to eat less.
However, Huang Jianguo felt it was unnecessary. Firstly, Wang Yingxue had no other problems besides being able to eat a lot, and she got along very well with Chen Zhaodi.
Secondly, Huang Jianguo knew very well that it was difficult for a woman to hold her head high in the village after she got divorced.
After seeing Huang Jianguo off, Huang Qinqin saw that there was still some time before dinner, so she asked, "Dad, I have something I'd like to ask you. Would it be convenient for you to come into the study with me?"
Xu Weiguo was sitting on the stool in a daze when he heard Huang Qinqin ask him, so he nodded: "Is it convenient? Shall we go now?"
"Okay, Junhui, you should come too."
Upon hearing that he was also entitled to a share, Xu Junhui immediately stepped forward, put his arm around Huang Qinqin, and led her into the study.
Xu Weiguo, who was a step behind in getting up, could only follow them slowly. Watching their affectionate behavior, he felt incredibly nauseous.
