His meaning couldn't be clearer.
He needs children.
Qin Yanhua's body is no longer capable of bearing him children.
"master……"
"Yanhua, be generous and let me carry on the Lu family line?"
"The Lu family is not only my family, but also your family. You wouldn't want to wait until you're a hundred years old and go to the underworld to watch me be cursed by our ancestors, would you?"
While speaking, Lu Zhengde kept a close eye on Qin Yanhua's expression.
Seeing that her expression softened because of his words, he pressed his advantage: "Yanhua, we've been married for decades. You don't need to question our feelings for each other. It's also a fact that we don't have children now. After so many decades of marriage, do you really want us to be destitute in our old age?"
"master……"
Qin Yanhua wavered.
In fact, she had no choice but to waver.
Because Lu Zhengde was truly her only support.
She thought for a while, then lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"Sir, please tell me, and I will do as you say."
Her voice was filled with grievance.
But Lu Zhengde didn't care at all.
As long as his goal is achieved, that's fine.
As for words of comfort, they are merely superficial and insincere.
Lu Zhengde, from beginning to end, only loved himself the most...
…………
Lu Huaijiao, busy with her own affairs, was unaware of the sordid affair between the couple.
She had no idea that Zhao Rui, that woman, had actually gotten involved with Lu Zhengde.
But then again, if she knew, she would probably just sigh and say that scumbags and bitches really do gravitate towards each other.
"Boss, would you mind rushing to produce 100 quilt covers and mattresses?"
Lin Yang asked Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao is currently at the factory, discussing with Lin Yang the matter of expediting the production of disaster relief quilts.
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Lu Huaijiao nodded.
"Okay, let's get these done first." After saying that, she thought of the cotton wadding and turned to ask Lin Yang if they had contacted a cotton wadding factory.
"We got in touch. When they heard that we were going to buy supplies to donate to the disaster-stricken villagers, they immediately started production without saying a word."
Before the Lunar New Year, the weather was cold, and with the New Year approaching, many people bought new cotton quilts. That was the busiest time for cotton quilt factories.
They worked overtime and produced a lot of cotton quilts. The factory was planning to give them a proper holiday during the Chinese New Year, but then they suddenly received such a large order from Lu Huaijiao's factory.
The cotton wadding factory had no choice but to work overtime.
Not only did they work overtime, but after learning the purpose of Lu Huaijiao's clothing factory ordering cotton wadding, they not only guaranteed to ship it to them quickly, but also gave them the most favorable price.
This couldn't be better for Lu Huaijiao and the others.
Their garment factory only needs to produce quilt covers and mattresses according to the sizes of the quilts produced by the cotton quilt factory.
Knowing that Lin Yang had taken care of everything, Lu Huaijiao was very satisfied.
She nodded and glanced outside; it was getting late.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Lin. I'll head back now."
"It's getting late, it's not safe for you to go home alone, let me take you."
Lin Yang will definitely be working overtime here tonight.
However, he was worried about letting Lu Huaijiao go back alone, so he simply sent her back.
Lu Huaijiao thought about it and didn't refuse.
"Okay, thank you."
"Of course."
The two rode their bicycles one after the other towards the city center.
On the way, I heard many people spreading the news, all talking about the dam breach. What should have been a lively New Year celebration felt like a huge stone was weighing on everyone's hearts because of this.
It's so bad it makes it hard to even breathe.
Adding to the gloomy sky and the constant blowing of cold winds carrying snow particles, people's moods worsened even further.
When Lu Huaijiao returned to Tianshui Hutong, it was already 6:30 p.m.
It got completely dark.
Lin Yang went back alone at this time, and Lu Huaijiao was a little worried about his safety.
Lin Yang smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm used to walking like this. I'll call you, boss, when I get to the factory."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"fine."
Lin Yang watched Lu Huaijiao enter her home before turning on his flashlight and riding his bicycle back to the factory.
However, he didn't overestimate himself and set off alone on such a night without any belongings. He first went home, took out a machete, wrapped it in cloth, and tied it to the back seat of his bicycle before riding back to the factory.
It was very safe along the way.
We arrived a bit late.
This made Lu Huaijiao, who had been waiting for Lin Yang's call, feel somewhat worried.
Lin Yang was one of her most capable subordinates. If something happened to him on the way back because he was taking her home, she would definitely feel guilty.
Fortunately, Lin Yang didn't keep Lu Huaijiao waiting for too long. After about ten minutes, he called to let her know he was safe.
Lu Huaijiao finally felt relieved.
As she came out of the convenience store, she ran into Gu Changzheng, who had just entered the courtyard from outside.
He was also pushing a bicycle, and some snow had fallen on his coat.
Seeing this, Lu Huaijiao walked over and asked, "How is it?"
"Yes, everything went smoothly. I just went with Brother Meng to talk to the government, which caused a slight delay." But in the end, everything went well, and they donated all the supplies they had collected to the government.
Hearing that everything went smoothly, Lu Huaijiao nodded.
"Go back inside, it's so cold outside."
"Um."
The couple secured the gate to the courtyard. Gu Changzheng patted Dahei's head, telling it to guard the door, before he stepped into the house.
It was already a little past nine o'clock.
The three babies are all asleep.
However, He Meizhu and Gu Jianhua couldn't sleep and kept waiting for them to come back.
The incident of the reservoir being blown up today has left both He Meizhu and Gu Jianhua feeling somewhat uneasy. They both have a feeling that this matter is not simple.
It was as if another war was about to break out.
Gu Jianhua was alright; he was able to keep his composure.
He Meizhu had been feeling uneasy all afternoon. When she saw that her son had returned safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.
"Jiaojiao, Fourth Brother, is there going to be another war outside?"
He Meizhu clasped her hands together, her anxiety evident in her eyes; she was clearly terrified.
That makes sense, though. She was born during a time of war, and although she was just a child, she lived in constant fear that the Japanese would attack...
After finally driving the Japanese away, they started fighting each other again...
In short, those years left her with very deep memories.
It's normal for her to be afraid.
