Li Yuzhu couldn't believe her ears. Although Dongqing's three older sisters all had jobs, their families were not well-off. Logically, he should take care of his three older sisters first.
His first thought was of his family. Putting aside the car's actual value, their old customers wouldn't sell it for 500,000 yuan. They could do business from home – wasn't this a steal? She said, "Are you serious? Did I hear that right?"
Dongqing said, "You heard me right. Even though we are divorced, you are still my wife and the mother of my son in my heart."
It's just a marriage certificate and a divorce certificate, I don't care that much about those things. What I value is you as a person. We love each other in our hearts. Everything I've done for your family is nothing compared to the love between us.
To say something you might find hard to believe, no matter how your mother treats me, in my heart your parents are my parents, and your younger siblings are my younger siblings. It's that simple. If you insist on me explaining why, it will only be three words: I love you.
"Just listen to me this time. Tomorrow, I'll send your sister out to learn how to do business. Once she's proficient, I'll give her the car and clients for free at the end of the year."
With tears in her eyes, Li Yuzhu said, "Thank you on behalf of my family!"
By then, it was already bright daylight, and the glow of dawn was rising in the east. The rising sun broke the silence of the night and awakened a new day, as if bringing people hope for the day ahead.
Dongqing said, "Don't be so polite with me. In my heart, you are still my wife. It's getting late. We have a lot to do today. Let's have some breakfast and go home."
Li Yuzhu nodded after hearing this and walked towards the breakfast shop with her ex-husband.
After they finished breakfast and returned home, their third sister, Dong Sanmei, had just gotten up and was washing up in the bathroom. She said, "Where have you two been so early in the morning?"
Li Yuzhu placed the breakfast she had bought on the table and said, "Your brother and I went for a walk in the street, and we ate there. Sit down and eat while it's hot."
Dong Sanmei said thank you and sat down at the table to eat.
The breakfast they brought back was simple: fried dough sticks and a bowl of spicy soup.
"Dongqing, I'll go home and change my clothes first, then I'll wait for you outside the gate of the residential area!"
After saying goodbye to her third sister, Li Yuzhu opened the door and walked towards her home.
Ten minutes later, Li Yuzhu went downstairs and walked out of the family area. She saw Dong Qing waiting outside the door, and they walked together toward the machinery factory.
They went into the machine factory, and Dongqing went to the office to borrow two trucks from Yiminghui, and asked Chen Hong to send a truck driver to the workshop.
Today, two trucks and a tractor were used to deliver feed to the pig farm.
People in the machinery factory who can drive usually know how to drive forklifts. Having a forklift to unload bricks can save a lot of time. This time, we only built pigsties and not warehouses or workshops, so we didn't need that much material. We got all the materials we needed in less than a day.
Dong Qing arranged for Dong Daming to bring people here tomorrow to build a pigsty. It will take about a week to complete the pigsty and provide a home for the piglets that were just bought.
In the afternoon, Donghui and his convoy brought back 2,000 piglets, all of which were of the Long White carcass breed.
Li Hui went home to see his parents, unloaded the piglets, took the money, and went back with the convoy.
In the afternoon, Chen Hong also came to help. After the pig farm had received enough feed, Dong Qing said, "Brother-in-law, you and the driver take the truck back to the machinery factory. Li Yuzhu and I will walk back."
The brother-in-law said okay, got into the truck with the driver, started the engine, and drove out of the pig farm.
Su Wei said goodbye to the two of them and drove back with Chen Hong in a tractor and forklift.
After they left, Dongqing walked up to Dongtao and said, "Uncle, Yuzhu and I will be delivering goods tomorrow. I'm leaving everything at the pig farm to you. Keep some of the piglets we bought today for breeding. We can't always buy piglets; we need to breed and raise them ourselves!"
Dongtao said, "I understand. Don't worry about anything here, just leave everything to me!"
Li Yuzhu and Dong Qing toured the pig farm and found that the pigsties were very well cleaned. Even in the summer, there was no unpleasant smell when standing in front of the pigsties.
Before they left, Dongtao offered to send them back to the city in a tricycle, but Li Yuzhu said, "No need to see us off, we'll walk back!"
Dong Qing said "okay," said goodbye to Dong Tao, and the two walked out of the pig farm.
As they stepped out of the pig farm, they saw several people with instruments measuring north and south outside the farm gate. Dongqing asked, "What are you measuring?"
A young man said, "The national highway passes through your area."
Dong Qing asked, "Will my pig farm be unaffected?"
Dongqing didn't want the pig farm to be destroyed by road construction. In this day and age, the compensation for road construction isn't much, but if the pig farm were to be relocated, he would suffer much greater losses.
The staff member said, "Your pig farm is very lucky; the national highway passes by your pig farm only 50 meters away."
Dong Qing asked, "Does this road pass through Su Village in the county seat?"
The staff member glanced at the information and briefly mentioned that they had passed through Su Village.
Dong Qing gave the young man a pack of cigarettes, and the young man explained in detail the route through Su Village, which happened to pass right on the edge of the land he had bought.
Dong Qing was overjoyed to hear this, as this national highway would bring his wholesale market twice the results with half the effort.
There are differences between this life and the previous life. In the previous life, there was no such national highway near the county town. In the previous life, this national highway was more than 20 kilometers away from Su Village. In this life, however, it has been built right next to the Su Village wholesale market. Is this the will of Heaven?
Dong Qing asked, "When will construction begin on this national highway?"
The young man said, "Construction started elsewhere at the beginning of this year, and it should be able to reach your area in about a month."
In this era, information is scarce, unlike in the 21st century. If a major project is even remotely mentioned, the internet will be abuzz with news. In this era, it's not uncommon for people not to know about the Winter National Day celebrations. Many things are only revealed when they are right in front of you.
Dong Qing had high hopes for this national highway. The pack of cigarettes he gave away seemed to be a link between his future and this highway, like a silent contract.
He decided to adjust his department store wholesale market, adding another 200 acres of land to build on the original site, in order to take concrete actions to seize future business opportunities.
After the young man left, Li Yuzhu looked at Dong Qing's excited expression and asked, "It's just a national highway, why are you so happy?"
Dong Qing smiled and said, "Yu Zhu, let me ask you a question. Do you know what it means that the national highway passes right next to our wholesale market?"
Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."
Dong Qing's eyes gleamed with excitement. He said, "In my view, it's not just a national highway, but a bridge to our business success and the lifeblood of a commercial city."
Imagine how much convenience this national highway will bring to wholesalers and customers once our wholesale market is completed. It will undoubtedly promote the prosperity and development of the wholesale market. This national highway gives me even more confidence in the future of the wholesale market.
Li Yuzhu said, "You have a great imagination. I hope our future will be as rich and beautiful as your imagination. Let's go back."
