Song Lan didn't continue.
Qin Yanzheng smiled and said, "As expected of my wife, no one can match her intelligence. However, I have to abide by regulations and cannot tell you my workplace or the nature of my work. You just need to know that your man is contributing to the country."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan glared at him and said, "Who isn't contributing to the country?" It was as if he hadn't said anything at all, but Song Lan knew that this meant the man couldn't tell her, especially since he had clearly mentioned that there were rules to follow, namely that his workplace and the nature of his work needed to be kept confidential.
Qin Yanzheng smiled and said, "I estimate I'll be staying here for a few years. If you find the living conditions here too harsh, I'll try to get your job transferred back to Beijing once Dad returns."
"No need, it's fine here. When you leave, my second brother and I will go with you."
At this point, Song Lan suddenly thought of something and said, "Dad went back to the capital, and he's all alone at home there. Who will cook and do laundry for him every day? What if Dad gets a headache or fever again and there's no one to take care of him?"
"Don't worry, Dad isn't old enough to be unable to move around. Besides, when Dad goes back, the factory should arrange for someone to take care of his daily life."
Qin Yanzheng's gaze softened: "I'm glad you care about Dad so much, but have you forgotten that Dad used to be the chief engineer in the R&D department at the main factory? His position speaks for itself, and given our current situation, the factory will definitely arrange everything for Dad."
If you're still worried, then have your second younger brother and sister transfer back to their school in Beijing after the New Year. With them at home, you should feel more at ease, right?
“My second brother and sister-in-law are still not settled down. Dad is busy with work and definitely doesn’t have time to take care of them. If we, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, are not around, what if they are influenced by bad people and go astray?”
Song Lan expressed her concerns.
Qin Yanzheng felt a pang of sadness: "You care about them even more than Mom and Dad do!"
“You know Dad is busy with work, and Mom’s health wasn’t good before, so there are bound to be times when she can’t take care of my second brother and the others. I’m the eldest sister-in-law, do you expect me to just watch them go astray?”
Song Lan glared at the man, annoyed, and said, "How about we install a phone at home here? We can call home in Beijing more often, so at least we can find out if Dad is doing well. What do you think?"
"I'll do as you say. I'll have Wu Dong handle this this afternoon."
Qin Yanzheng had no objection.
After a moment's hesitation, Song Lan asked, "Why didn't you mention sending a letter to my younger sister?"
"Wu Dong took it to the post office and mailed it."
Qin Yanzheng said, "My younger sister's actions back then were wrong, but as her older brother, I can't just ignore her life or death. Now I'm waiting for her reply. If she mentions wanting to go home, I'll try to find her a job. If she's still stubborn... once I can walk normally again, I'll go there in person and bring her back, whether she wants to or not."
“It will take at least two months for your leg to return to normal walking. I think I should go and make the trip.”
After thinking for a moment, Song Lan said, "Sister Wang from our security department knows a lot of people in the factory. Why don't I ask her for help and see if there are any workstations available for transfer? If there are any suitable ones, we can just buy them."
When I get to where my older sister is working in the countryside, I'll put the job quota in my pocket and handle the household registration transfer there, bringing her to this branch factory.
"Are you going to leave her with us too?"
Qin Yanzheng's tone revealed surprise.
"She's your older sister, isn't our home your older sister's home?"
Song Lan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and gave a reply.
“That’s not what I meant. I was thinking of registering my younger sister’s household registration back in Beijing, since Dad is going back soon, to avoid any trouble later.”
Qin Yanzheng explained.
"Aren't you afraid that your younger sister will run away from us and go back to the place where she was sent to work in the countryside?"
Song Lan asked.
"She can't be that brainless."
When Qin Yanzheng said this, he wasn't really sure himself.
"If my younger sister can run away once, there's no guarantee she won't do it a second time. I actually hope she'll come with me willingly. That way, her household registration will be transferred back to the capital, and I won't have anything to worry about."
The problem is, if my younger sister is only outwardly compliant but her heart is still with that man, then if we don't keep her by our side, we'll just have wasted our time.
After hearing what Song Lan said, Qin Yanzheng thought of Song Lan's earlier thoughts and the fact that Qin Yaqing would die for a man and her unborn child. He felt annoyed and thought that Qin Yaqing was exceptionally stupid.
"I think my younger sister has been bewitched by that man!"
Suddenly, Qin Yanzheng gritted his teeth and said something.
Song Lan paused for a moment and said, "I think she was too well protected by her parents and was too naive. She was blinded by love and was led by the nose. Despite her parents' objections, she followed her boyfriend to the countryside."
If her boyfriend is a good person, it wouldn't be a problem for them to stay in the countryside together, since they could look after each other and eventually return to the city together. But my second brother mentioned it briefly, saying that the man seemed hypocritical.
A boy who only knows how to sweet-talk his younger sister is, in my opinion, definitely not a good match for her. That's why I'm thinking of bringing her back from the place where she was sent to the countryside, so she won't suffer there anymore.
"I know that the decisions you made were all for their own good."
The "they" that Qin Yanzheng was referring to undoubtedly meant his five younger siblings: Qin Yaqing, Qin Boyan, Qin Yaxin, and the two little ones.
To be honest, he was very touched, but at the same time, he felt deeply sorry for Song Lan.
Being his wife must be too hard!

In the late afternoon, Wei Shengli ran into Wang Pujun while patrolling the factory area. Before he could speak, he heard Wang Pujun's voice: "Have you heard?"
"..."
What should he have heard?
Wei Shengli was puzzled.
"Looks like you haven't heard yet, so let me tell you, Song Lanming will no longer be a member of our security department!"
The two stood under a poplar tree as thick as a bowl. Wang Pujun lowered his voice and said, "I overheard Section Chief Fang mentioning it to Sister Wang by chance."
"What's so surprising about that?"
Wei Shengli rolled his eyes and said, "Comrade Song was originally a nurse. Tomorrow she will go back to work as a nurse at the staff hospital. This is a great thing."
"Honestly, are you sure you don't feel regretful that you can no longer work with Comrade Song Lan in the future?"
Wang Pujun asked.
"Are you still indulging in wishful thinking?"
Wei Shengli narrowed his eyes: "Haven't you met Comrade Song's wife?"
"What do you mean?"
Wang Pujun's eyes widened: "You don't mean it the way I think, do you?"
Seeing that Wei Shengli remained silent, Wang Pujun grew anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you underestimate me. Do you think I'm the kind of morally corrupt person? Besides, Comrade Song Lan cured my mother's headache, which is a great kindness to our family. How could I possibly have such thoughts about her?!"
