After much thought, Su Lu decided to continue as before: if the transport team needed workers, he would go and help out to earn some quick money. He would stay home with Qin Xiaoxiao and not go anywhere else.
Su Lu had a good plan, but a job opportunity came unexpectedly, forcing him to make a choice.
That night, Su Lu went to the black market in the middle of the night, and then took two bottles of wine to his master's place at the transport team. More than an hour later, Su Lu left his house with a worried look on his face.
At three o'clock in the morning, Su Lu returned. Qin Xiaoxiao had been waiting for him without sleeping and only felt relieved when she saw that he had arrived home safely.
"What's wrong? You look so pale. Did things not go well at the black market?"
Qin Xiaoxiao considered going to the black market with Su Lu, but considering her own cannon fodder status, she was afraid of dragging him down instead. In the end, she couldn't take that step. She waited at home for Su Lu when he went to the black market to trade, without going with him.
Su Lu sighed and gently hugged Qin Xiaoxiao, his voice slightly aggrieved and helpless, "Wife, I may have to go to work. The transportation team is checking very carefully, and it won't be possible to do it like before. My master said that the transportation team has a vacancy and I should buy the job later, otherwise I may not have another chance."
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, patted Su Lu on the back, and signaled him to let go of her.
"Since that's the case, then tell me about your transport team. Where do you usually transport goods? How many people accompany you on the trucks?"
Without a second thought, Su Lu said, "The transport team I went to belongs to the city. It's a small branch of the transport team that specializes in transporting goods for department stores."
Basically, the convoy mostly travels to and from Beijing, and once every two months there is an opportunity to go south, a round trip that takes twenty days.
If they're driving south, they usually travel in groups of five or six, with two drivers and one passenger in each car, for a total of three people.
After listening, Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and her brows quietly relaxed.
"That works too. Going once every two months isn't too much. At least fifteen people should go at a time. With so many people going together, we can avoid the risk of being robbed."
What about going to the capital? How often do you go? Are there three of you again?
"Beijing is relatively close, so each car can make about three trips a month."
"Your fleet has quite a lot of cars."
"It's alright. It's a small fleet with ten trucks and twenty drivers in total. I'm an unofficial member. I fill in for anyone who needs to take leave. I don't get paid, but all the extra income is mine."
Qin Xiaoxiao understood. To put it bluntly, Su Lu had established himself in the car team by filling in for others without pay, using the opportunity of going out for transportation to earn extra money for himself.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "That seems to work. I'll prepare some more things for you later. You can still go to this class."
Su Lu sighed, reached out and pulled Qin Xiaoxiao into his arms again, "But I can't bear to part with you, I don't want to be separated from you."
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Su Lu, "What kind of separation is this? It's just a car trip. As long as you come back safely, that's all that matters. Your home is here. How could you possibly run away?"
But I must warn you, don't try to pull that "one family in the north, one family in the south" trick on me. If I find out, well, you know me. Let me reiterate: for me, there's only widowhood, not divorce.
Nine out of ten drivers are womanizers, and the other one is a drunkard. In her past life, she had heard plenty of stories about truck drivers using their long-haul trips to build a home away from home. If Su Lu dared to do that, she guaranteed that no one would be able to find his body, and he would be nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.
Perhaps it was because Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes were too sinister, or perhaps it was because the murderous aura emanating from Qin Xiaoxiao was too cold, but Su Lu couldn't help but shiver while holding Qin Xiaoxiao, and then quickly expressed his loyalty.
"I swear, I am devoted to my wife and I will never do anything to betray you in this life. I will serve my wife at home and remain chaste outside. No one can touch me. I am yours, body and soul belong to you."
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's satisfied smile, Su Lu continued to pester her, "Besides, my wife is so beautiful, how can those other women compare? I must be blind to mess around outside."
My wife is an angel; how can those vulgar women compare to you? I can't even stand their tacky perfume scents. I only love the smell of you.
Su Lu leaned on Qin Xiaoxiao's shoulder and took a deep breath, his expression one of pure bliss.
Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Are you petting your cat?
"How much does it cost to buy this class? Is a thousand yuan enough?"
Su Lu blinked. "Honey, is this the time to talk about money? It's getting late, shouldn't we be doing something we should be doing?"
With that, Su Lu forcefully pressed Qin Xiaoxiao down onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and lightly bit her cheek as punishment.
Qin Xiaoxiao glared at Su Lu, but didn't refuse. She raised her hand and wrapped it around Su Lu's neck, looking at him with seductive eyes, "Honey, you won't have time to stay home with me anymore. Don't you have to give something in return before you go out and have fun?"
Su Lu grinned maliciously and kissed Qin Xiaoxiao on the cheek again, "You little slut, let's see how your men deal with you."
It has to be said that Su Lu is very good at cooperating; Qin Xiaoxiao knows what she is going to do with just a glance and a word.
Is today going to be a scene of a notorious bandit abducting a woman?
I don't know, I'll see.
Su Lu had no time to think after that. With the soft fragrance in his arms, who had time to think about anything else?
The next day, unsurprisingly, Qin Xiaoxiao overslept again. This time, she couldn't find an excuse to glare at Su Lu, since she had brought it on herself.
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao put on her pants under Su Lu's attentive service, she heard a commotion outside.
The couple exchanged a glance and quickly sped up their dressing.
Qin Xiaoxiao rushed out of the small house first, followed closely by Su Lu, who was carrying a rice bucket in one hand and a stool in the other. The couple's speed was comparable to that of a national second-level athlete.
As Su Yu was walking out, she felt a gust of wind pass by her. When she looked up, a light blue figure flashed past the gate.
Su Yu looked blankly at Zou Jing, "Zou Zhiqing, wasn't there just now...?"
Before Su Yu could finish speaking, she felt something run past her from behind, which startled her so much that she jumped into Zou Jing's arms.
"Huh, what is that?"
With the beauty in his arms, Zou Jing glanced gratefully at Su Lu, who had run over.
My dear family! From now on, we're brothers!
Qin Xiaoxiao was the first person in the village to arrive at the "crime scene," even before her neighbors, which shows how fast she was.
The gate to the house where the incident occurred was closed, and she couldn't just barge in. Unwilling to give up, Qin Xiaoxiao ran and jumped over the wall of the house.
The neighbors were stunned, staring in shock at Qin Xiaoxiao, who was openly sitting on their courtyard wall.
Which idiot said the eldest granddaughter of the Qin family was physically weak? Her skill in scaling walls is unmatched by any member of her family.
