Chapter 223
Chen Guifeng continued, "I secretly hoped that if Chen Kang and her dragged on, their feelings would fade. I really underestimated that girl Zhu Zhiqing. She was too reckless! Chen Kang, too, knew he couldn't drink, but he still drank with Zhu Zhiqing. Wasn't that just giving her the opportunity?!"
"In the afternoon, Chen Kang came back and told me about Zhu Zhiqing's pregnancy. I asked him what he planned to do, and he said that he would definitely marry Zhu Zhiqing and that he would be responsible for her. I told him, "How can you marry Zhu Zhiqing? How can you be responsible for her and the child in her belly? Can you support them with your current salary?" Chen Kang told me that the poor have their own ways of living. I raised the three of them by myself back then, and I still managed to get through it. Now he only needs to support Zhu Zhiqing and her unborn child, and he will definitely be able to do a good job."
"I was really pissed off at him! How could he compare me to Zhu Zhiqing? I had no other choice back then. Their father had passed away, so how could I really just ignore my own children? I was living a very hard life back then, and I didn't want him to suffer that too, so I had always disagreed with him and Zhu Zhiqing's relationship. And he actually compared me to Zhu Zhiqing!"
Chen Guifeng became more and more angry as she spoke, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Ye Fuyue patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "How long has Zhu Zhiqing been pregnant?"
“Chen Kang didn’t say, but if you calculate the time, it should be almost three months.”
"As for Zhu Zhiqing, she will be coming over in a few days. When she comes, let's accompany her to the hospital for a check-up." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng reacted and stared at Ye Fuyue and said, "You suspect..."
Chen Guifeng didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning is self-evident.
Ye Fuyue chuckled. "Mom, you just said that Zhu Zhiqing is very bold. She must have come here this time to arrange her marriage with my eldest brother. Maybe she won't return to the countryside. As her future relatives, it's not unreasonable for us to take her to the hospital for a checkup."
Chen Guifeng seemed to be thinking: "Hmm. If she is really pregnant with your eldest brother's child..."
"Then let's do what we have to do. We need to have an explanation as to whether big brother wants to live at home or move out to live on his own." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng looked at her daughter-in-law with appreciation and said, "You are right. Let's do what we need to do."
At night, Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao coaxed Haohao and Ranran to sleep.
Ye Fuyue asked Shen Yao: "What did you talk about with big brother?"
"There's nothing to talk about. There's nothing much for him and I to talk about." Shen Yao said.
Ye Fuyue glanced at Shen Yao.
It seems that Shen Yao is also quite dissatisfied with Shen Kang about Zhu Qiaoting's pregnancy.
"What is your plan, brother?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"He said he was going to marry Zhu Zhiqing and move out."
"Didn't you stop it?"
"Why should I stop him?" Shen Yao said, "He'd better really move out and not make Mom angry at home, and don't mess with my wife."
"What does it have to do with me?" Ye Fuyue laughed.
"Brother definitely did something wrong about Zhu Zhiqing's pregnancy, but so did she. I'm worried about someone like her living under the same roof with us. Besides, she's pregnant, who's going to take care of her? Naturally, it's you and Mom. But I don't want you to take care of her, and I don't want Mom to take care of her either."
Ye Fuyue didn't expect that Chen Yao had considered so much, and she suddenly felt much more relieved.
"But even if my eldest brother and Zhu Zhiqing really move out, Zhu Zhiqing is pregnant and unfamiliar with the place, so I or mom will probably still take care of her." Ye Fuyue said.
"I have made it clear to my eldest brother. Whoever made Zhu Zhiqing pregnant will be asked to take care of Zhu Zhiqing. Don't think about bothering mom or you. You don't have the time for that." Shen Yao said.
Ye Fuyue was very satisfied with what Shen Yao said.
To be honest, she didn't want to take care of Zhu Qiaoting, let alone the mess between Zhu Qiaoting and Shen Kang. She was just deliberately using this to test Shen Yao and see his attitude. If Shen Yao couldn't figure it out and asked her to take care of Zhu Qiaoting, she would definitely fight with Shen Yao directly. If she hadn't seen Chen Guifeng so upset, she wouldn't even be willing to give her advice.
Will Chen Kang be relied upon by Zhu Qiaoting? He is such an old man, but he himself has no ability to distinguish, and he only makes Chen Guifeng sad. Why should she, as a daughter-in-law, care about these things?
"I feel relieved after hearing what you said." Ye Fuyue said, "I'm just afraid that if Zhu Zhiqing really marries my eldest brother, their lives will be difficult to sustain. If Zhu Zhiqing comes to beg you for help, you will be soft-hearted."
"Why should I be soft-hearted? She is not you, why should I care about her?" Shen Yao said without hesitation.
Seeing Chen Yao being so clear-headed, Ye Fuyue felt relieved.
In the next few days, the air pressure at home was still very low, but this did not prevent Ye Fuyue from doing what she had to do.
She went to Xiangyang Furniture Factory at the agreed time.
Walking through the Xiangyang Furniture Factory this time, Ye Fuyue could sense that the workers' spirits were completely different from her previous visits. The factory was no longer so lifeless, but instead exuded a vibrant and motivated spirit.
Ye Fuyue knew that this was the hope and fighting spirit that the orders from the Bamboo Fair brought to the workers.
Director Cai took Ye Fuyue to Director Chen's office.
When Director Chen saw Ye Fuyue, he smiled happily: "You're here."
Director Chen didn't waste any words and handed Ye Fuyue the two leather envelopes he had prepared in advance: "This is your reward."
"Thank you, Director Chen." Ye Fuyue took it and opened the first leather envelope first.
Inside was a thick stack of big unity notes. If you didn't count them carefully, you wouldn't have any idea how many there were.
Director Chen said at the right moment, "We used five of your designs in total. We charged you 600 yuan for each, so the total is 3,000 yuan."
Ye Fuyue counted them on the spot. There were three hundred Great Unity notes in total, which really was three thousand yuan.
The other brown leather envelope was full of tickets, all kinds of tickets - grain tickets, cloth tickets, sugar tickets, meat tickets, industrial tickets, bicycle tickets, watch tickets, etc.
Director Chen added, "These tickets were raised for you by me and the people in the factory. Basically, all the tickets you could use in your life are here."
Ye Fuyue was very satisfied.
It's not easy to get so many tickets. They are very valuable now.
Director Chen did not make any promises for her. This money plus the tickets was not a low reward at all.
"Thank you, Director Chen, and thank you, Director Cai." Ye Fuyue said again.
Director Chen smiled and waved his hand. "Nothing to thank me for. You really made our factory stand out at the Bamboo Fair, signing orders worth nearly one million! This is the first time our factory has received so many orders."
Director Chen paused and asked, "Comrade Ye, do you want to come to work in our factory? If you are such an outstanding talent like you, I can give you very good treatment if you are willing to come."
