Chapter 2104
Holding a Golden Baby
Xu Damao and his wife came by bicycle.
So when I got home, I made a little noise.
The couple each held one side of the donkey backwards, making the old man riding it quite nervous.
····
When He Yuzhu returned home, the atmosphere was quite tense.
Liu Ting sat in the living room, her face expressionless, lost in thought.
When she saw He Yuzhu, she didn't get up to greet him as usual; instead, she glared at him fiercely.
He Yuzhu was a little confused. He glanced upstairs subconsciously and asked in a low voice, "Has Fourth Brother gotten into trouble again?"
"Hmph." Liu Ting snorted, unwilling to acknowledge He Yuzhu.
This left He Yuzhu completely bewildered. He put down his briefcase, went to Liu Ting's side, and asked softly, "What's going on?"
"Who bullied you? I'll go teach them a lesson."
"Sigh..." Liu Ting sighed deeply. He Yuzhu, who was getting impatient, said sullenly, "Jiu'er called and said that Shengli brought his wife back."
Her daughter-in-law is pregnant.
Despite the seemingly disjointed statement, He Yuzhu understood her meaning.
In this world, everything is subject to comparison.
Work, income, partner, children...
This includes their children's marriages and having children...
The vast majority of emotions and desires arise from such unnecessary comparisons.
Just like Liu Ting and Jiu'er, their relationship wasn't very close.
For a long time, even Jiu'er looked up at Liu Ting with admiration.
She's beautiful, married a successful man, and has well-behaved children...
Not to mention He Yuzhu's image as a good man in public.
As a result, Jiu'er suddenly caught Liu Ting off guard.
Although, in terms of their children's marriages, the two families actually had nothing to compare.
He Ping is still young.
But Liu Ting still felt uncomfortable.
He Yuzhu sat down, took Liu Ting's hand, and chuckled, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yuanyuan said that both of them were busy with work.
My son-in-law has barely been home this year, and Yuanyuan has been busy with the publication of her comic magazine.
When the young couple has some free time, they'll get what they need.
Don't envy others; wait until your children grow up.
They'll settle down, start families, have children, and a bunch of little ones will all be around you. Just don't find it annoying then.
"Nonsense, I wouldn't say that," Liu Ting replied to He Yuzhu, still looking sullen.
"Alright, alright, is the food ready?"
"Let's eat." He Yuzhu changed the subject.
There's nothing he can do if Liu Ting gets fixated on something.
Even if he wanted to urge He Yuan to have a baby, Xiao Song is still nowhere to be found, so urging her is useless.
After the old lady ate a few bites, put down her chopsticks, and went upstairs, He Yuzhu asked, "What's wrong with Little Fatty's wife?"
"Heh..." Liu Ting couldn't help but laugh when she said this.
No matter how much Xu Shengli explained to Deng Yuzhen, their marriage was shrouded in mystery.
Xu Damao and his wife must have sensed that something was wrong.
With just a few probing questions, the truth was revealed.
To be honest, the reaction of Xu Damao and his wife was quite funny.
Jiu'er's attitude towards her daughter-in-law remained unchanged; she still maintained the image of a good mother-in-law.
However, Xu Damao's waist was bruised and purple from being pinched more than ten times by Jiu'er.
According to Jiu'er, this is because Xu Damao committed too many sins in his early years, and the consequences fell on her son.
But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't bring herself to get angry. Although the girl's rural household registration would definitely have an impact on the young couple's future life under the current social circumstances.
Putting everything else aside, the child's household registration will follow the mother's in the future.
This is the real problem.
For ordinary families, this problem could be a lifelong headache.
But for a family like the Xu family, it's not considered a large sum.
Let alone Xu Damao having a friend like He Yuzhu, he could resolve this matter using his own social connections.
If we really want to get things done, we'll first get the daughter-in-law a temporary job, then make her a permanent employee, and then naturally get her an urban household registration.
With Xu Damao's social connections, it would only cost him two or three thousand at most.
This money could be taken from Xu Damao's secret stash.
Therefore, these minor issues were completely overlooked by Xu Damao and his wife while Yuzhen was pregnant.
Besides, Jiu'er had asked Xu Shengli privately and knew that this daughter-in-law had a very good temper and always put his feelings first.
She herself was a strong-willed person who suppressed Xu Damao for her entire life.
But when it came to her son, she didn't want Xu Shengli to find someone like her.
Therefore, Jiu'er had a very good feeling about her daughter-in-law.
The Xu family is currently enjoying a lively and bustling atmosphere, and no one is concerned about material matters.
Instead, they were discussing whether their daughter-in-law should stay in Beijing to prepare for childbirth, or whether Jiu'er and Xu Shengli and his wife should return to the south to take care of her.
After listening to Liu Ting's story, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.
He said, "Fools have their luck. This little fat guy got lucky by accident. He deserves this good fortune."
Liu Ting stared blankly at He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu knew what his wife was wondering, and immediately chuckled softly, "Do you think that girl is marrying above her station with the Xu family?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Liu Ting said, pouting.
He Yuzhu scratched his head, thinking about how to explain it to his wife.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Although I don't know where that girl is from."
But now that their village is qualified to hire the chubby boy to repair electrical appliances.
That probably means it's very close to the port.
That place will inevitably become incredibly valuable in the future.
Once the market is further opened up, the local inhabitants will definitely be among the first to become wealthy.
Who knows, maybe that chubby guy will make millions a year just from rent, all thanks to his wife.
He Yuzhu himself wasn't sure about what he was saying.
He didn't look at these news reports closely in his past life.
Otherwise, just from the place name the girl mentioned, he should have known that Xu Shengli had landed a golden opportunity.
In the future, the fishing village will be more than just moderately wealthy.
That was the first village to be established after the reform and opening up, and it truly deserved the title of the first village.
In 1981, a cluster of villas that became famous throughout the country was built in the village.
It can be considered one of the benchmarks after the reform and opening up.
"You're always spouting nonsense, talking about millions of dollars this and millions of dollars that. Your monthly salary is only a few hundred dollars." Liu Ting's expression was very strange, even though she was laughing and scolding He Yuzhu for his ramblings.
But you could tell from her eyes that Liu Ting truly believed He Yuzhu's statement.
He Yuzhu shrugged, speechless.
He was clearly telling the truth, but no one believed him.
Besides, the gold and oil trades he currently dominates are worth millions of dollars every minute.
The internal report from above today stated that gold has now stabilized at $280 per ounce. (End of Chapter)
