His mouth was dry from talking, so he quickly took a sip of water before asking Yu Qiuying, "So, Qiuying, do you think we should let Jiadong go and meet that girl?"
“Yan Hong, it’s no use telling me this. He can make his own decisions. Since he doesn’t want to date right now, don’t bother worrying about it for him. Besides, we’re going to Dongguan Province on the 9th, so I think we should talk about this later,” Yu Qiuying said.
Ma Yanhong was slightly taken aback. "You're going to Dongguan Province? Why are you suddenly leaving? Do you have relatives there?"
"Hmm," Yu Qiuying replied perfunctorily, not wanting to say more.
But Ma Yanhong started gossiping, "You're all going? Isn't Caixiang studying? She's about to take her college entrance exams, aren't you going to leave her alone?"
“She’s a grown woman, I don’t need to worry about her.”
"Are they relatives from your maternal side? What do they do there? Did you all work in factories? What kind of factories?"
It's no wonder Ma Yanhong wanted to inquire. These days, people who go to work in other provinces are making money. Several people from the village went to Dongguan with their relatives. Some work in shoe factories, some in hardware factories, and some in electronics factories. I heard that the highest monthly income is more than 600 yuan.
Especially Zhou Laogen's youngest daughter, who is said to work at some big hotel and earn more than a thousand a month!
So when Ma Yanhong heard Yu Qiuying say she was going to Dongguan Province, her first reaction was that Yu Qiuying's family had relatives in Dongguan Province. Otherwise, who would dare to go out without relatives or acquaintances there?
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little tempted and thought about inquiring about the situation to see if she could let Yu Qiuying take her children out with her in the future.
Yu Qiuying could see what she was thinking, but naturally she couldn't tell her the truth.
She smiled and said, "I don't know what I'll be doing over there yet. Let's go and see how it goes."
"Is that so? But there are many factories over there, so you'll definitely be able to find a job. Anyway, you have relatives there, so you can just look for one when you get there. Hehe... Qiuying, if you manage to establish yourselves there, can you take my Mingde and Xiaofen with you?" Ma Yanhong looked at Yu Qiuying with a flattering expression.
Her family was one of the closer relatives to Yu Qiuying's family; otherwise, Yu Qiuying wouldn't have served her melon seeds and rice cakes.
The year Yu Qiuying's husband had his accident, it was Ma Yanhong's husband who helped with the aftermath.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the situation of Yu Qiuying's parents-in-law.
Yu Qiuying's parents-in-law are a blended family. Her mother-in-law had two sons and two daughters, while her father-in-law had three daughters. Both of them were widowed and eventually got together through an introduction.
Then came Yu Qiuying's husband, Zhou Changkang. Later, her mother-in-law became pregnant twice more, but both pregnancies failed. So, after her parents-in-law got together, they only had one son, Zhou Changkang.
At that time, Yu Qiuying's father-in-law's three daughters were already quite grown up and were not close to their stepmother. Therefore, after Zhou Changkang, her half-brother, was born, the three sisters did not like him very much.
Later, as they grew up and got married, their relationship became even more distant. After Yu Qiuying's father-in-law passed away, they stopped having any contact at all.
Therefore, Yu Qiuying's family did not have any particularly close relatives in the village.
Her father-in-law did have two brothers, but they had a falling out a long time ago over the division of the family property.
When she married into the family, her father-in-law was quite close to the Zhou family behind the house.
So at the beginning, Yu Qiuying intentionally associated with Zhou Laogen's family and sincerely called Zhou Laogen her cousin for two or three years.
But as time went on and she got to know them better, she realized that Zhou Laogen's family was no good.
Okay, I've digressed. Let's get back to the main topic.
Yu Qiuying wasn't bothered by Ma Yanhong's flattery. "Alright, once we've established ourselves over there, if your Mingde and Xiaofen also want to go out and try their luck, I, as their aunt, will give them a hand."
Hearing Yu Qiuying's words, Ma Yanhong was very happy. "Okay, okay, then I'll be waiting!"
The two chatted for a while longer, until almost 8:30 before Ma Yanhong went home.
“Mom, why did you agree to Auntie’s request so readily? We don’t even know what the situation will be like when we go to Dongguan Province. What if…” Zhou Cailian had just overheard Yu Qiuying and Ma Yanhong’s conversation and she didn’t understand why her mother had agreed so readily to take Ma Yanhong’s children with her. They themselves were still unsure about the situation there. What if their breakfast stall didn’t work out?
It's no wonder Zhou Cailian was worried, because she was unsure about going to Dongguan Province. But since Yu Qiuying had already made the decision, she comforted herself not to think too much about it. She figured that since her family had some savings, if the breakfast stall didn't work out or she lost money, she could just go back to farming.
But Yu Qiuying has already agreed to take Ma Yanhong's children out of the country without any prior promise. Zhou Cailian felt that this was not very reliable. What would Ma Yanhong think if she didn't keep her promise?
At that point, who knows what kind of grudges might arise in their hearts.
Yu Qiuying knew exactly what she was worried about. "It's alright, it's not a big deal. If she agreed, she agreed. You know that when your father passed away, your Uncle Guisheng helped with all the funeral arrangements. Now that your aunt has asked for this, once we've established ourselves over there, helping out her two children will be a way of repaying that favor."
