Not long after, Gu Qi received a telegram from Chen Nantai.
After returning home, he told everyone the contents of the telegram in detail.
"He said he asked some villagers for help and finally persuaded Ah Miao to stay. He also said that Ah Miao would be a mother in two months, and she would send us a telegram to announce the good news when the baby is born. Currently, he and his cousin have contracted a piece of forest and hired a few workers to help, but he still has to do most of the work himself. Although the work is not very busy, he feels that there is a purpose."
"Oh!" Li Ying was very excited after hearing this: "That's it, that's it! You tell him to be nice to Ah Miao, okay?"
Gu Qi nodded: "I've said that before. He said he sent a hundred yuan to his hometown and also sent you a hundred yuan. He can't personally show his filial piety to you, so he hopes you can buy something to eat by yourself."
Li Ying burst into laughter after hearing this.
Chen Xingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah Miao is not willful, it's fine as long as she can live with him. As long as Chen Erliuzi is diligent and hardworking, the future will definitely be good."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Ying couldn't help laughing: "He still knows how to respect his mother-in-law. He still has a conscience! He raised his daughter for more than ten years, and she turned around and ran away with him——"
"Mom." Gu Qi interrupted her, "Let's not talk about the past. As long as Ah Miao can live with him, everything else can be put aside. The money has been given to you, so just accept it. After Ah Miao gives birth to the baby, we will send her some money to replenish her health."
"Yes." Li Ying nodded hurriedly.
Little Tiger asked happily: "Mom, my fifth aunt gave birth to a little sister. I wonder if my youngest aunt gave birth to a little sister or a little brother?"
"It's all right." Chen Xingling replied: "Anyway, whether you are a younger sister or a younger brother, you are still the older brother."
Little Tiger chuckled.
Gu Yi at the side asked jokingly: "Huzi, do you think your aunt is carrying a brother or a sister?"
Zhao Xiaoxing blushed and slapped her husband lightly.
Gu Yi giggled foolishly.
Little Tiger shook his head: "I don't know! Anyway, they are either brothers or sisters, and I am the big brother!"
Everyone laughed.
Li Ying said to Zhao Xiaoxing: "The first child is already born, it can be a boy or a girl. My daughter will also learn to read and write, and go to university."
Zhao Xiaoxing was deeply moved and nodded quickly.
"Yeah! You definitely need to be educated."
Li Ying couldn't help but sigh: "Except for Xuan, the three of you have blossomed and borne fruit. When Xuan finds a partner after graduation, I will be completely relieved."
Gu Xuan blushed and buried his head in eating, pretending not to hear.
Half a month later, Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya came over and gave the profits to Chen Xingling and Ma Dali.
Chen Xingling was still in charge of the financial work of the embroidery factory, while Ma Dali was still responsible for buying cloth and yarn. He did not leave the embroidery factory entirely to Chen Jixing and his wife.
After Chen Xingling got the money, he discussed buying a car with Gu Qi again.
"Xiao Huzi and I both go to school in the east of the city. With a car, we don't have to worry about wind or rain, and it's more convenient to go in and out. In addition, it will be faster for you to pick him up and drop him off."
Gu Qi also wanted to buy a car, but he was still a little worried.
"It's not easy to make money. You can't spend all your money on a car. Besides, the second phase of Linjiang is in full swing. There are so many workers and the construction period is tight. I don't know if I can make any money in the end."
Chen Xingling laughed hoarsely and lowered his voice: "Even if we don't make much money over there, the embroidery factory will ship goods again, and we will have money again in a few months. In addition, we should be able to make money from the second phase, and it can be in the tens of thousands."
Seeing that she was full of confidence, Gu Qi did not insist.
So, under Liu Xinnian's introduction, Chen Xingling bought a brand new jeep a month later.
The whole family was so happy that they gathered around the car for most of the day!
When Guo Shijing heard that Gu Qi could buy a jeep, he felt jealous and couldn't help complaining to his grandparents while having dinner at home.
"Is his wife...making a lot of money at the second-phase factory?"
Director Guo glared at him and explained, "Of the three payment plans, only two have been made so far. Both Phase I and Phase II have the same six buildings, but one side pays a little less than the other. After a few months, the fifth building is almost completed. At this rate, the houses will be ready by the end of the year. They're building fast and high, so they should make the money."
Guo Shijing muttered, "I heard that Gu Qi... bought a car."
"It was his wife who bought it, not Aqi." Factory Director Guo explained: "Although his salary is high, it is far from enough to buy a car. I heard from Xinnian that the Overseas Chinese Embroidery Factory jointly owned by Gu Qi's wife and her sister-in-law is making a lot of money. They run a factory, so they don't have to worry about not having 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to buy a car."
Qin Tiantian was coaxing her daughter to eat rice porridge. When she heard that Chen Xingling was already able to buy a car, she was stunned.
"... can you afford a four-wheeler?"
"Yeah!" Guo Shijing said sourly, "That car is beautiful, tall and majestic. I don't know what kind of shit luck Gu Qi has! He can marry such a powerful wife, whose family has overseas Chinese and factories, and she is good at studying and can make a lot of money. The most important thing is that she gave Gu Qi such a smart son, who can go to college at the age of four or five!"
Qin Tiantian felt mixed emotions after hearing this. She buried her head numbly and fed her daughter mouthful by mouthful.
Director Guo glanced at his son and said, "That's because Gu Qi is lucky. When Gu Qi fell off the boat during a typhoon, no one dared to save him. It must have been a life-or-death situation. None of the dozen men dared to go into the sea, but his wife jumped into the water to save him without saying a word. With her courage and determination, how could she be an ordinary person! If Gu Qi wasn't a genius and a handsome man, people wouldn't necessarily be attracted to him. So, charm attracts each other. They are both excellent and amazing. This is what is called 'a perfect match for husband and wife', do you understand?"
Guo Shijing glanced at the dishevelled Qin Tiantian, rolled his eyes in disdain, and said in a muffled voice: "I understand."
Mrs. Guo, who was standing by, was full of envy: "Gu Qi was an outstanding man himself, and now he has an equally outstanding daughter-in-law walking hand in hand with him, and a cute and smart son - I have to say, he is a winner in life!"
"Everyone in the factory says so." Director Guo smiled.
Guo Shijing couldn't help but sneer: "It's great now, but it may not be the case in the future. People are in different times. Who knows what tomorrow will be like, right?"
Director Guo said calmly: "Don't be jealous of others, just live your own life first."
Guo Shijing stopped talking awkwardly.
Qin Tiantian listened silently and continued to feed her daughter rice porridge.
Her clothing store had closed down. After working hard for several months, she not only did not make any money, but she even lost more than a hundred yuan and ultimately lost everything.
She was busy running around and did not do anything. In the end, she was only scolded by her husband, mocked by her mother-in-law for overestimating her abilities, and scolded by the old maid in her own family for not being content with her marriage.
Chen Xingling has run a factory and made a lot of money as a contractor. He can even afford a car worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The country fisherwoman whom she used to look down upon has now become a strong woman praised by everyone, while she has fallen into a sloppy woman who can only deal with various housework every day.
…How did it turn out like this?
How could that be!
