Zhang Hongmei looked at Yu Hongxia with sympathy and felt quite sorry for her. If she hadn't dumped this mess on her, perhaps Niu Niu wouldn't have suffered so much, since she had her own mother to take care of her back then.
"Senior Yu, what are you planning to do in the future?"
“I brought Niu Niu out because I thought I would never go back. Over the years, I have given my family a lot of money. I will repay my parents for raising me when they can no longer move.”
I'll look for an apartment tomorrow and hire a nanny to take care of Niu Niu for two years. After that, she'll be older and can go to kindergarten.
"Senior Yu, listen to me. I feel so sorry for Niu Niu. It's my fault that she didn't receive care from her mother. These past three years have really been tough for you."
I have a courtyard house in Shuren Hutong, which I gave to Niu Niu as a gift from her aunt.
"Senior Yu, please don't refuse me. This is for my child; Niu Niu will be the head of the household in the future."
“Hongmei, I really can’t accept this. You don’t need to feel bad. Although I’ve been taking care of this underwear factory, it’s because I have shares and receive dividends.”
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "I told you, this is for Niu Niu. You don't need to refuse. If you don't like it there, you can stay there for now. I'm helping Cheng Guangxiu and the others buy a house. We'll talk about it later."
Yu Hongxia looked at Zhang Hongmei with a complicated expression. "Hongmei, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Just give the house to Niu Niu directly. The one in Shuren Hutong is fine."
“That’s right. Senior Yu, don’t do anything tomorrow, just go find a nanny. Shuren Hutong has all kinds of furniture, even bedding, pots and pans. Although I haven’t been there since I came back, I know that Uncle Li must clean there often. So you and your mother can move in directly.”
"Yes, I know. Wang Ying will go to the underwear factory tomorrow."
Hongmei, you haven't had a chance to check the accounts yet, have you? We have three lingerie factories in total, one in Haishi and one in Yishi. Our monthly profits will definitely satisfy you.”
"Hehe, that's good. You can rest for a while now that I'm back."
Yu Hongxia shook her head. "No need, you must have a lot to do. I'm used to it now."
"Hehe, shall I find you an assistant?"
“No need. If you’re looking for someone, you can find someone who’s in charge of the three lingerie factories. I don’t want to lose my job. The country has nurtured me, and I can’t lose my job because of doing business.”
"Okay, I'll consider this candidate."
"Senior Yu, you should get some rest too, Niu Niu is sleepy."
Their matter was settled, but there was still no result for Wang Ying.
After separating from Zhang Hongmei, Wang Ying went straight to the backyard to look for someone to help her gain weight.
"What do you want?"
"Let's go outside and talk." After all, Wang Ying is a girl. She might have the courage to be frank with Zeng Zhongkang, but she's also afraid of being rejected, especially since there are people living on both sides of the house. That would be quite embarrassing.
Zeng Zhongkang came out. The two went straight out of the house.
"Comrade Zeng, I'm a straightforward person. I say what I mean."
"Okay, just say what you need to say."
"That's right. I have feelings for you, but I can also tell that you don't have any special feelings for me."
I know what happened to you today. So, you might consider me.
First of all, I am also very busy. I can never leave Hongmei in my life and will always work under her.
Secondly, I am an independent person and will never be dissatisfied because you are busy with work.
Third, I especially admire soldiers and would never hold you back at work. Also, unlike other women, I won't demand that you love me; I just want a home. I think you are very reliable and make me feel safe.
Also, I need to tell you that I'm an orphan. Old Gu took me in and raised me. Because of my impulsive nature, I made a mistake, which is why I didn't go to the US with you.”
After Wang Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went home. Actually, she felt embarrassed and a bit embarrassed, as if she was fleeing.
Zeng Zhongkang stood there, stunned. Wang Ying's words had truly shocked him. Hongmei must have told her about her situation.
She gave a bitter smile. She had never actually considered settling down. She harbored feelings for Zhang Hongmei. She knew there was no future for her, but she just didn't want to give up.
He was a little thrilled that a girl suddenly confessed her feelings to him. What touched Zeng Zhongkang the most was her promise not to ask for his love. And also, she said she would work for Zhang Hongmei for the rest of her life.
But he couldn't get over his own conscience, which was a sign of disrespecting Wang Ying.
But Hongmei is right. Her father would never agree to her being single. If that happened, that woman would definitely cause trouble.
Thinking about this, I feel that marriage is the best choice.
He turned and went into the courtyard, deciding to have a serious talk with Wang Ying.
This young girl is an orphan, so it's understandable that she desperately wants a home of her own. Since the two of them are destined to marry, it's acceptable for them to come together as a couple.
Wang Ying hurriedly returned to her room. Zhang Hongmei knocked and entered. Looking at Wang Ying's anxious expression, she found it quite amusing.
"Have you talked about it?"
"I just shared my thoughts and asked him to consider them."
"Alright, alright, since that's how it is, I'm going back to sleep too."
Zhang Hongmei left, and Zeng Zhongkang arrived just a few minutes later.
"Wang Ying, let's have a proper talk. Can I go in?"
The two sat down. Zeng Zhongkang stared intently at Wang Ying.
"Thank you, and I'd also like to say a few words about your suggestion."
I have someone else in my heart, I won't lie to you. If you can accept that, then I'm willing to start a family with you.
If Zhang Hongmei were here, she would definitely slap him across the face. That's what a scumbag is!
However, Wang Ying knew who Zeng Zhongkang had feelings for, so it was impossible for her not to care, but she also knew that Zeng Zhongkang had absolutely no chance.
Yu Hongxia's marriage frightened Wang Ying. She truly didn't trust men, meaning she fundamentally distrusted love.
I'm almost twenty years old, which is the age for marriage. The reason I chose Zeng Zhongkang is because I think he is a responsible person.
Living with someone like that means no mental pressure, no romantic love, but you can have family ties later on.
In fact, she didn't even tell Zhang Hongmei about this idea.
"I can't control whether you have someone in your heart, but if we become a family, can you guarantee your loyalty to me, your future children, and this family?"
"I swear, I can do it."
"Don't you care that I'm an orphan? Don't you care about my background?"
“I’m not much better off than you. Although I have a biological father, it doesn’t make much difference whether I have one or not.”
