But fate is unpredictable; an accident caused Zhao Quan's father to pass away.
At that time, 13-year-old Zhao Quan was forced to take on the burden of supporting his family, taking over his father's job and starting work.
Although he was young, he was articulate, and the people in the factory sympathized with his plight, so they took good care of him.
By the time he turned 18, Zhao Quan had worked for five years and, thanks to his outstanding work ability, not only rose from an ordinary worker to a manager, but also helped the factory with a lot of work.
In addition, he raised his ailing mother and a string of younger siblings, making him a well-known filial son in the county.
It was because of his good reputation and good abilities that he was recommended to go to university.
But once he went to university, it meant there would be no one to take care of his family. He was worried about the elderly and young children in his family, so he planned to find a wife to help take care of the family.
However, although he is a good person, he is burdened by his family, so some well-off people in the city don't want him. In addition, he also needs to find someone who can take care of the family.
So he simply went to the countryside and found a hardworking, honest, and dutiful wife.
And so, after getting married, he left the household to his new wife and went to the capital alone.
I heard that since he started school, he has often sent the school subsidies back home so that his family can make a living.
His wife's family from the countryside often sent them food.
Therefore, his family's life was not greatly affected by his departure.
Looking at it this way, everyone thinks he's quite smart. Although it seems like he's at a disadvantage to marry a country girl, she's hardworking, and her family has food supplies, so she's no worse off than unemployed city people.
Moreover, a few months after Zhao Quan left, he learned that his wife was pregnant, so he sent more and more money home after that.
Everyone said that Zhao Quan was frugal at school to take care of his family, so the neighbors had nothing bad to say about him.
A while ago, his wife gave birth, but due to a difficult labor, she injured her body and almost didn't make it through.
Fortunately, the doctor saved him in time, but because it was such a close call, he will need to take good care of himself afterward.
After being discharged from the hospital after spending half a month there, he is now recuperating at home.
He is much weaker than before and can no longer work as well as he used to.
Fortunately, Zhao Quan's younger siblings have grown up quite a bit and are able to help.
In addition, she gave birth to a son for the Zhao family, so the family was willing to let her support him.
Even Zhao Quan did the same. After hearing about it, he immediately wired two hundred yuan back to her, telling her to take good care of herself and get better, and not to worry about anything else.
After hearing about it, the neighbors all praised the Zhao family as a good family and Zhao Quan as a good man.
...
After seeing this, Su He and Zhou Hongying didn't know what to say.
Zhou Hongying took a deep breath and asked, "So, what he told Wu Shengnan—that someone in his family was hospitalized and needed money—was that his wife was giving birth to his child?"
Su He nodded. "I guess so."
"How...how dare he?"
Su He also wanted to know how he dared to do that. He was clearly married, yet he used dating as a way to scam money. This guy was incredibly audacious.
Both of them fell silent for a while after thinking about this.
Finally, Zhou Hongying spoke up: "So what do we do now? Should we tell Wu Shengnan about this?"
"We definitely have to tell her, otherwise she'll probably continue to be stubborn. But we need to think carefully about what to do after we tell her..."
