NOVEL NEXT Chapter 348: 348 Smooth
Coming up next!
Thinking about the rumors circulating in the community now, Zhang Haisheng felt embarrassed.
This Xiang Zhiqiang really makes it hard to believe. The rumors outside are really unpleasant.
Actually, his cousin and the others are quite foolish. No matter how bad their own son is, they shouldn't spread stories like this about him, right?
Now, Ma Changshun doesn't even come out, probably feeling ashamed.
When Feng Baoshan arrived, the two of them went to find him.
Feng Baoshan sincerely congratulated them, and none of the procedures they needed were missing.
Zhang Fusheng was quite grateful to Feng Baoshan. "Director Feng, I'll find a way to get you guys a truck of fertilizer every year from now on. But the price will definitely be high."
Feng Baoshan nodded excitedly, "Of course, I understand. I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Zhang, for being able to make it happen. Thank you so much."
"That's because Director Feng has always taken care of my wife's family."
"Don't worry, the Zhao Family is always honest and sincere. I should take care of them a bit."
After some more pleasantries, the two of them left the office.
"I never thought it would go this smoothly," Zhang Fusheng said, smiling.
"Yeah, let's stop by my sister's place, she's the one we visited last year to get fertilizer."
Zhang Fusheng had also met the little girl when she was at the transportation team.
The two of them didn't even go home but headed directly to Yuanyuan's place.
Su Yuanyuan had just woken up; ever since she had finished her postnatal confinement, Tan Shaoting had been relentless.
He's immensely happy now, feeling content every day.
Last night was too much; upon seeing Su Yuanyuan's annoyed expression, he quickly tried to appease her.
"Wife, I promise I won't do that anymore."
"Tan Shaoting, where's your sense of shame? How could you say something like that now?"
"I don't want anything else, I just want you."
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him; the children had just eaten, and she got up to freshen up and eat.
As soon as she started eating, she heard a knock on the door.
Tan Shaoting went to open the door, "Come in, Yuanyuan is eating right now."
Zhao Yanping smiled and nodded. Zhang Fusheng followed her into the room.
"Sister, you're back? Want to eat something?"
"No, go ahead and eat, you need to eat more."
"Who is this?"
"This is Zhang Fusheng from the transportation team, he helped us with the second truck of fertilizer."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for helping us."
Tan Shaoting came in and pulled Su Yuanyuan to sit down, "You eat first, or it'll get cold. I'll chat with them."
"Yes, Yuanyuan, you eat quickly, you can't eat cold food now."
Tan Shaoting offered each of them a cup of brown sugar water.
Then he tended to Su Yuanyuan while she ate.
"Sister, you came back quite quickly this time," Su Yuanyuan said after she finished eating, inviting them to sit next door.
"Yuanyuan, I came to tell you that Zhang Fusheng and I have decided to live our lives together."
Su Yuanyuan immediately smiled, "Well, congratulations to both of you.
But Mr. Zhang, even though you're far away, you mustn't bully my sister.
My sister is gentle and honest. Since you've decided to live with her, you must treat her well."
"Of course, I, Zhang Fusheng, would never do such a thing."
"That's good. Sister, are you planning to leave with Mr. Zhang soon?"
Zhao Yanping nodded, "Yes, we just saw Director Feng, and all the procedures are done. We also got proof to relocate our household registration."
"Sister, I wish you happiness once again."
"Thank you, Yuanyuan. By the way, can you come over tonight? Let's have a meal with the whole family and invite Mr. Li and his two sons too."
"Sister, I won't be able to go, but Tan Shaoting will be there."
"Alright, you should stay home and watch the children. After all, they're still so young, which is perfectly understandable."
The couple saw them out. Tan Shaoting quickly pulled Su Yuanyuan back inside; it was too cold outside.
"I didn't expect Zhao Yanping's fate to be over there. You know, Xiao Li's illness came at just the right time," Su Yuanyuan said with a laugh.
"I'll deliver a gift in the evening, but I won't stay for dinner."
With my wife and kids at home, I prefer to be here than outside.
"Suit yourself; you decide. A piece of cloth and five yuan should do."
The couple chatted as they got on the kang; the three little ones were awake again.
Honestly, these three kids are quite well-behaved and not fussy. When they wake up, they just cry a couple of times to let mom and dad know they're awake, then they just wait quietly with their eyes open.
Today Yuanyuan first fed the eldest, as she always does. She rotates the feeding order among the three to make them feel it's fair.
Tan Shaoting was downstairs heating water; soon it would be time to clean the kids up. That would make them comfortable.
Upon returning home, Zhao Yanping saw Xiao Li cooking; it was truly a large pot of stewed meat.
The sisters had discussed it last night and decided to have dinner today.
Since they're leaving, they don't know when they will be back. This sort of serves as a simple send-off feast.
Cooking such a meal together was easy for the two sisters.
Zhang Fusheng was helping out with some tasks, and he was also watching over Hai Yan.
In just a short time, the little girl wasn't afraid of Zhang Fusheng anymore and could play with him.
What made Zhao Yanping happiest was seeing this result; in fact, the child was what she worried about most. The doctor had told her she might never have children in this life.
If Zhang Fusheng didn't have a son, she wouldn't have agreed to their union, afraid of delaying him.
Around three in the afternoon, the three families of the Zhao siblings all came. Things got lively at home.
They didn't have any particular thoughts about this brother-in-law; it was their sister's own decision.
From Xiang Zhiqiang, it was evident you can't judge a book by its cover; only through living together can true personalities be known.
However, whatever the brothers had to ask, they wouldn't hesitate to.
Zhang Fusheng felt a bit nervous facing the two elder brothers-in-law. The three sat in the room, with the two brothers asking and him answering.
In the main hall, the two sisters-in-law were softly advising Zhao Yanping. To them, their sister-in-law seemed too gentle and vulnerable, fearing she would be wronged outside.
Zhao Yanping felt touched, "Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, rest assured. What don't I understand now?
After experiencing Xiang Zhiqiang, could I encounter anyone more wicked?
If the worst comes to the worst, I'll just live with Hai Yan. What's wrong with that?"
After hearing their elder sister-in-law's words, the sisters-in-law felt more at ease.
"Xiao Ping, you'll be bringing fertilizer every year, right? Take that opportunity to come back, even if it's just for a day."
Zhao Yanping nodded with a smile, "I definitely will. The household will get fertilizer every year. Besides, once Yuanyuan leaves, Xiao Li will also go over. Don't worry about me."
