Chapter Ninety-One: It's settled.
Besides working at the translation office, Shen Yuzhu spent the rest of her time releasing supplies into the house rented by Lü Jianshe during the monthly inspections in order to earn more "Great Unity".
However, things didn't always go smoothly. Sometimes Zhou Congsheng would accompany her to the hospital, and she would have to find ways to get him away. Of course, Liang Manxiu would also help out sometimes.
Left with no other choice, Shen Yuzhu had to tell Liang Manxiu about it.
They even offered to split the profits with her, but Liang Manxiu didn't want a single penny. She was more than willing to help her as long as it was something she could do.
Six months later, Guo Rou came to the military compound.
Since she arrived, Shen Yuzhu and Zhou Congsheng no longer need to worry about things at home or outside, which saves the couple a lot of trouble.
While life was going well here, Shen Yuming was losing his composure.
Ever since Zeng's mother went to see her, the old lady has been coming to talk to her every few days. She likes her more and more, and only regrets that her son is not good enough. After so long, he still hasn't married her.
It's unnecessary for an old woman like her to worry about this.
Shen Yuming grew increasingly uneasy. She had many children, and sometimes she couldn't help but trouble Zeng Hu and his mother, which made her feel very embarrassed.
After picking up his daughters from school, he rushed home and saw Zeng Hu holding Qiancheng in his arms, with Yaya lying on the small bed next to him.
"Brother Zeng, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to have taken up your time again."
"It's alright, go wash your hands and eat. I brought you two cans of meat and made a stew with cabbage. Let's make do with that!"
Shen Yuming hesitated for a moment, feeling very guilty. He had thought that Zhang Jie's older children would go to school and he could just take the children from the daycare home after get off work and wait for them.
But last time Panpan was hit by a cyclist on her way home, luckily the man was honest and took the child home, apologizing profusely.
From then on, she picked up her child from school every day, even though they were separated by a road, she was still worried.
This matter caused a lot of trouble for the neighbors, so she would often cook some food and drink and deliver it to their door.
However, this is not a long-term solution.
The Zeng family mother and son were very attentive to her; they had been neighbors for so many years, how could they not know their intentions?
Zeng Hu is a good person. He will help anyone with any big or small matter. So, he wanted to help with his marriage.
Shen Yuming used to be resistant, but now, seeing how good Zeng Hu and his mother are to the child, she suddenly felt relieved.
This person is not only a police officer, but also has excellent character, ability, and temperament.
She's been married twice already, so what's there to hesitate about? As long as Zeng Hu treats the child well, she'll be at ease.
She had personally heard some naughty kids in the alley cursing her child as a fatherless burden; as a mother, how could she possibly listen to that?
Zeng Hu put the two children on the kang (a heated brick bed) and got up to leave.
Shen Yuming reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"No, didn't we say we'd eat together? Go get some rice!"
Zeng Hu's eyes widened suddenly. "Yu, Yu Ming, what's wrong with you...?"
His eyes were so bright that she felt embarrassed and said, "Let's eat."
"Hey, hey, let's eat, let's eat, hehehe... Um, could you turn on the light? I was afraid you wouldn't want to, so I didn't dare turn it on. I'll go get the rice, I'm coming right now."
Zeng Hu hurriedly went to the kitchen. Zhang Jie, Panpan, and Qianqian looked at their mother, then exchanged glances and began to chuckle softly.
Shen Yuming wasn't unaware of what was happening; he blushed, coughed twice, and quickly stopped them.
Zeng Hu was all smiles during the meal, and when he left, he grabbed Shen Yuming's hand.
“When I got home, I told my mother to come and ask you to propose marriage. Don’t worry, Yuming, I will definitely treat you and the children well, and make sure you and your children live a good life.”
"Yes, I believe you."
About a week after that day, Shen Yuming and Zeng Hu came to find Shen Yuzhu.
As soon as the two appeared in the courtyard, Guo Rou's eyes lit up. She could tell without even guessing that these two were up to something.
Shen Yuming felt embarrassed by her gaze and quickly lowered his head. Guo Rou then looked Zeng Hu up and down, thinking that he was a shameless man.
If it had a tail, Guo Rou felt that it could wag like the propeller of a helicopter in the military.
"Is it a success?"
"Sister Guo, are you teasing me too?"
Guo Rou exclaimed "Oh dear!" and turned away to wipe her tears. "I wasn't joking at all. I'm happy, I'm happy for both of you!"
Shen Yuming paused, then looked at Zeng Hu, who quickly said, "Sister, I've always remembered how good you and Fenglan were to her. Our bureau is looking for a gatekeeper, so if you're willing, you can give it a try. We also need a helper for the canteen, so you can come along too, Brother Zhang Shuai."
"Really? That's great news! Being able to work in the city is so prestigious. But Yuming, isn't this a bit much? Won't people talk badly about you behind your back?"
Her biggest worry was Shen Yuming. She had only been with Zeng Hu for a short time, yet she was already thinking about them and even found them jobs. What if someone wanted to find fault with her later? Wouldn't that be like walking into someone else's trap?
"No, don't worry, sister. If you think it's a good idea, we'll go back and have Liang Zhiqing pass on a message, and we can have them come over and try it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you all."
Shen Yuming held Guo Rou's hand and said, "No need to thank me. If it weren't for you and Fenglan all these years, I don't know if I would have survived, let alone have the good life I have now. You and Fenglan have always been sincere in your concern for me, and I know that."
Shen Yuzhu and Zhou Congsheng returned before the group could finish their conversation.
Looking at his younger sister's protruding belly, Shen Yuming was extremely nervous; there were two babies inside!
"Sister, what brings you here? When did you arrive? Didn't you bring the kids?"
"No, just be careful when you walk, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
When Zeng Hu saw Zhou Congsheng walking over, he couldn't help but punch him on the shoulder, "Hehehehe..."
"What are you laughing at? What's the good news? Why did you punch me right away?"
Hehehe...
Zhou Congsheng: "......."
Problem!!!
Shen Yuzhu paced back and forth between the two for a while, then let out a soft "Ouch!"
"Is this settled?"
"Yuzhu, I... Zeng Gong'an and I..."
"Why is he still called Zeng Gong'an? He should be called Tiger, hehehe..."
Shen Yuming blushed as he laughed, and Shen Yuzhu and Guo Rou burst into laughter as well. It was at this moment that Zhou Congsheng finally understood why Zeng Hu had been so inexplicably arrogant when he spoke to him earlier.
It turns out it was doubled!
