In this era, there is a shortage of everything, but there is no shortage of people who secretly have a second child. In rural areas, there are even cases of people secretly having three or four children. No one will laugh at anyone else in this regard. Every era has its own way of life.
Li Yuzhu said, "Don't go back to live there anymore, stay here and keep me company, okay?"
Dong Qing said, "No, because nobody knows who lives in this villa. If I stay here long-term, the family planning office will find my home within half a month. I can come over to keep you company occasionally at night, but I can't stay here often."
What Dong Qing said is also true. He is the main target of the family planning office's investigation. If he lives here for a long time, what is the difference between him and two people living at home?
Li Yuzhu said, "I know all that. You just need to come and keep me company occasionally. I'm really scared when I'm alone."
Li Yuzhu, after all, had survived her first pregnancy by the skin of her teeth, so it's normal for her to have these kinds of reactions during her pregnancy; it's actually pregnancy phobia.
"Don't worry, if you're anxious at home, I'll take you out for a walk when I have time." Dong Qing paused for a moment and said, "Yu Qiu, although the porcelain business hasn't been good lately, earning several hundred thousand a month is no problem. Our family has a big car and many customers. Even if business is bad next year, we can still earn one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand a month. I'll give you the car and the customers after that."
Your sister and I have discussed it and decided that we won't interfere in your business anymore. You can run it yourself. Give whatever you earn to Mom. As long as you make sure our family is doing well, your sister and I will be at ease.
Li Yuqiu said, "The cars and the customers are not a small amount; is it appropriate for me to accept them?"
“What’s inappropriate about it? We’re family. Your sister and I are relieved if your family is doing well. Besides, we can afford it now, so it’s settled.” Dongqing paused for a moment and said, “Remember to leave the manager a small tip after each unloading, otherwise other people will steal the customers.”
Li Yuqiu had been working with the truck drivers for several months, so she wasn't unfamiliar with the process. She said, "Okay, I know what to do."
The mother-in-law said with tears in her eyes, "Son-in-law, I was confused before. Do you hate me?"
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. If you warm them with your heart, you can warm even a piece of iron, let alone a person with feelings.
After Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu remarried, the mother gradually realized her past willfulness. She even hated herself for it, as if she had lived for decades in vain. Why couldn't she see the true nature of her son-in-law before? She almost gave such a good son-in-law away to someone else.
Dongqing said, "Mother, to be honest, I have never hated you. It's true that I abused your daughter for over a year after I married Yuzhu. You should hate me."
Li Yuzhu knew best whether Dong Qing was speaking from the heart. After the divorce, he had never spoken ill of her mother in front of her, not even a single word of complaint. Only someone who truly loved her could tolerate everything about her mother after the divorce. She knew this better than anyone else, and that was why her husband was worthy of her deep love.
Even if my sister hadn't managed to steal our household registration book from our home this summer, she would rather remain unmarried for life.
When two hearts are together, external factors really don't matter. Only those who have experienced setbacks in marriage truly understand how to cherish their hard-won love.
The mother-in-law prepared a bedroom for her daughter and son-in-law, leaving her grandson with Dongqing so he could go back and rest.
After his mother-in-law left, Dongqing asked, "Son, who do you sleep with tonight?"
Dong Yusheng said, "I sleep with my mother at night."
Li Yuzhu said with a smile, "You can sleep with your dad, but Mom has to stay with your two younger sisters at night!"
The toddler, barely a year old, didn't understand these code words. He asked, "Where are my two little sisters?"
The couple exchanged a smile after hearing their son's words. Dongqing laughed and said, "He's sleeping in the place you used to live in."
After hearing this, the son muttered to himself, "Where is the place I stayed? Let me see."
Li Yuzhu laughed and said, "The child is too young to understand anything. Stop teasing him and go to sleep!"
The next day, before dawn, Dongqing reached out and turned on the bedroom light, saying to his wife beside him, "Yuzhu, I have to go now. I'll come over to keep you company often at night."
Li Yuzhu said, "I've thought it through. I shouldn't come here so often unless it's absolutely necessary, so as not to attract the attention of the family planning officials from Sucun and the machinery factory."
In those days, family planning was like this: wherever you lived, the family planning office there had the right to manage you, so having a second child secretly was a very difficult thing.
Dong Qing said he understood, got out of bed, put on his clothes, smelled his wife's forehead, then kissed his sleeping son's cheek, and then left the bedroom.
Dong Qing walked back to the city, by which time it was already dawn.
He went to a breakfast shop and had some breakfast. After finishing his meal, he bought two more breakfasts to take back to his third sister and Fang Lin.
Dong Qing returned to his third sister's house with breakfast. His third sister and Fang Lin had just gotten up and were washing up in the bathroom when Dong Sanmei asked, "Did my brother just get back?"
Dongqing said, "I came back last night and brought Yuzhu back to stay at her parents' house. I brought you breakfast. Wash your faces and eat!"
Dong Sanmei said, "Really? I'll go check it out after get off work tonight."
Dongqing said, "It's fine to go and see her. After all, Yuzhu had her second child secretly, so try not to let others see you when you come home."
Dong Sanmei said, "Do I need you to explain such a small matter?"
Dongqing boiled a kettle of water and made two cups of milk for the two of them. He asked, "Third Sister, how many orders have we received this week?"
Dong Sanmei said, "Orders are coming in very large quantities as the year-end approaches. We received eight orders by last night. If we don't hurry up and send the trucks out, we won't be able to deliver them in time."
The cargo from eight households, even with its trailer, was difficult to load. He said, "I really hope they can rest at home for a day; it looks like I'll have to go out today."
After Dong Qing finished speaking, he took the eight order forms, went downstairs, and drove towards Su Village.
He drove his car directly into the soybean factory, where Zhou Hui had already arranged for people to unload soybeans into the warehouse.
Dong Qing said, "The truck needs to leave today. Immediately arrange for someone to unload the pig feed from the trailer and put it in the warehouse. Call the pig farm and have them haul it back in by tricycle."
Dongqing had no choice but to do this. If he unloaded the truck and then went to the pig farm to unload pig feed, how could he load more goods by noon?
After making the arrangements, Dong Qing drove away from the bean product factory and headed directly to Su Wei's house.
Although he's quitting the business, his wife is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to run errands, but he still has to go, since it's all family business.
Dong Qing drove up to Su Wei's house and parked his car.
Su Wei moved into her new home two weeks ago. He honked the car horn, and Su Wei quickly came out. Dong Qing said, "You can't rest at home anymore. Get ready to go out and load the goods right away."
Su Wei said, "Okay, I'll go home and get ready, then I'll be right there."
Because unloading delayed things, loading the truck and trailer didn't finish until after 8 PM. It was such a large truck with a trailer, barely enough to load the goods from eight households at once, just a little higher.
