Du Fangping then pulled Lu Wanling up and into the inner room to give Lu Wanling a thorough examination.
Sitting in the living room, Ding Huaixiao looked at Feng Haidong, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Haidong, are you planning to keep this child?"
Feng Haidong didn't hide anything from Ding Huaixiao, nodding and saying, "Yes, Wanling and I hope we can keep this child."
Ding Huaixiao fell silent for a moment, then looked at the two children sitting together watching TV.
After a moment of silence, Ding Huaixiao said, "The risks you're taking by doing this are considerable. Even if your workplace doesn't cause you any trouble, what will you do about your child's household registration?"
Feng Haidong said earnestly, "That's why I'm working hard to make money."
Ding Huaixiao paused for a moment, then realized: "You're planning to pay the fine?"
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, Uncle Ding, since he is my and Wanling's child, we have decided to keep him and take responsibility for him. We certainly can't leave him without a household registration."
Ding Huaixiao said with a hint of helplessness, "You're really bold."
Feng Haidong said, "Uncle Ding has actually softened quite a bit now. We definitely wouldn't have dared to do that before."
Ding Huaixiao said, "Even if things have loosened up a bit, many things are not as simple as you think. Even if the child's household registration issue is resolved, there will still be a lot of trouble later on."
Feng Haidong's attitude was very firm: "It's okay. Since Wanling and I have decided to have this child, I am prepared to bear all the consequences."
In fact, Feng Haidong had experienced this in his previous life, and the situation in that life was even worse than it is now.
He and his wife both left their jobs because of their child.
And later, in order to support their two children, the two of them also paid a considerable price.
However, his wife sacrificed more in his previous life, so Feng Haidong was somewhat pathetic in his previous life.
But this life is different. Feng Haidong is determined to stand up, to provide shelter for his family, and to use his arms to shield them from the sun, protecting each and every one of them.
Seeing that Feng Haidong's attitude was quite firm, Ding Huaixiao nodded and said, "Since you have made your decision, I will keep this a secret for the time being. However, as Wanling's belly grows bigger every day, it will probably be difficult to keep it a secret in the future."
Feng Haidong said, "So, Uncle Ding, we have a favor to ask."
Ding Huaixiao was taken aback again, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Tell me about it."
Feng Haidong continued, "Once the entrance and advertising light boxes of the liquor market are set up, Uncle Ding, your liquor market should go out and find wineries to set up shop. I hope you can send Wanling there openly, and then I will arrange for Wanling to go back to my parents' place."
Ding Huaixiao thought for a moment and said, "Arranging for Wanling to go out is possible, but if Wanling leaves like this, it might take half a year, right? If Wanling can't even bring in a winery in half a year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to her at work."
Furthermore, with Wanling leaving in the second half of the year, she will no longer be able to compete for the position of head of the finance department.
At this moment, Lu Wanling and Du Fangping came out of the house.
Upon hearing Ding Huaixiao mention the matter of the finance department head, Lu Wanling said, "Uncle Ding, I have decided to give up the competition for the finance department head position."
Ding Huaixiao was somewhat surprised: "You're going to give up?"
Lu Wanling nodded and said, "Yes, my energy is limited. I still hope to devote more energy to my children, so I gave up the competition for the position of finance director."
Du Fangping helped Lu Wanling sit down and said with a serious expression, "The situation is relatively good. Wanling has a good constitution and it seems that there is no major problem for the time being. However, I think Wanling should still take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up."
Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong immediately asked, "Aunt Du, could you arrange this for me?"
Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling brought their child over tonight, partly to explain things to Ding Huaixiao.
Secondly, he wanted to ask Du Fangping for help in arranging a check-up for Lu Wanling.
Du Fangping understood the purpose of their visit. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Ding Huaixiao first.
Ding Huaixiao met Du Fangping's gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded.
Du Fangping said, "Okay, I'll be on duty at the hospital this weekend. Wanling, come find me at the hospital then, and I'll arrange a check-up for you."
Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling said in unison, "Thank you, Aunt Du."
Du Fangping shook her head and smiled wryly: "You two are really bold."
Du Fangping had already spoken with Lu Wanling while she was inspecting the room.
She knew that Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling had decided that no matter what the consequences, they would keep the child.
Du Fangping felt that the couple was too bold, but she could also understand them.
After all, no couple wants to give up their child easily.
Du Fangping then gave Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling some instructions, explained some precautions, and taught Lu Wanling how to temporarily hide her pregnancy.
Listening to Du Fangping's words of advice, Feng Haidong felt that the trip had been worthwhile.
After the children finished watching the cartoon, Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling led the two children away.
Ding Huaixiao and Du Fangping escorted them downstairs.
Ding Huaixiao finally said to Lu Wanling, "Don't worry too much about the finance department head position. You might still have a chance."
Lu Wanling smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ding. I really do want to give up, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Looking at Lu Wanling's composed demeanor, Ding Huaixiao finally nodded and said, "Alright, since you've already made up your mind, I won't force you. At the end of the month, you can apply to go to another city to find a winery to set up shop. I will approve your application. The rest is up to you and Haidong."
