Chapter 301

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu come out, Yu Cheng waved at her, "Sis, it’s been a while."

"Brother Yu, you look more energetic than before? Is it because you're getting married?" Bai Xiuxiu didn’t expect to run into Yu Cheng at this time.

And my husband came with Yu Cheng.

When the topic of marriage was brought up, Yu Cheng couldn’t hide his joy, "Yes, I’m getting married. One of these days, I’ll bring your sister-in-law over for you two to meet. She has a good temper and works at a nearby factory.

We should definitely get together more often in private."

Yu Cheng had been looking forward to their arrival for some time. He initially thought that once the He family learned about it, they would bring Wang Qinghe back right away.

But they waited for several days before taking action.

And it was done so discreetly.

If it weren’t for his extensive network, he wouldn’t have known that Wang Qinghe had been taken back.

"Xiuxiu, how’s everything today? Has she caused you any trouble?" Wang Qinghe ignored Yu Cheng’s suggestion to get together and asked worriedly about his wife.

Since Xiuxiu started her new job this morning, he had been anxious.

His situation had been relatively smooth. He ZhiFei, his biological father, cared most about whether he could succeed and not embarrass him.

He deliberately mentioned that he was studying traditional Chinese medicine, hoping to continue his studies privately.

Although it was troublesome, He ZhiFei had agreed.

What was more concerning than He ZhiFei was Qi Yingying’s attitude.

Since she brought him back, her intentions have been more complex, and her attitude toward Xiuxiu has always been unfriendly.

It was difficult to feel at ease.

Bai Xiuxiu met his worried gaze and smiled, "Apart from spouting some nasty words, what else can she say? Don’t worry, I’ve survived the days at the old Wang family, I can handle her."

Hearing their conversation, Yu Cheng also understood, "Really? Even with three useless kids, they’re still not satisfied with you? Do they even see themselves?"

Yu Cheng truly couldn’t understand the He family’s thinking. In his view, Wang Qinghe was indeed better than the other three children in the He family.

"Come, let me take you to the state-run restaurant for a meal, and we can talk properly over food. By the way, don’t forget to transfer your grain rations, and even though the He family isn’t short of money, you two should keep your own savings.

Money and grain are safest in your own hands.

You two still have two children."

Yu Cheng reminded them, although these things should be obvious to the couple. But as a friend, he felt it necessary to remind them again.

"We’ll be careful, Brother Yu. Since you’re here, we have something to discuss with you. We’ll talk about family matters later, but the most important thing right now..."

Wang Qinghe left the rest unsaid, but Yu Cheng understood. The most pressing matter was the medicinal herbs!

Having experienced such great benefits, he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

"Let's go eat," Yu Cheng urged, eager to take them out for a meal and discuss matters.

On the way, Bai Xiuxiu told Qinghe about what happened that morning and explained Director Gao's intentions.

When Qinghe heard that Qi Yingying was making things difficult for his wife, he furrowed his brows.

Later, hearing his wife's response, he couldn't help but laugh.

When Bai Xiuxiu mentioned that they needed to go back to the county for a trip, Qinghe's thoughts aligned with his wife's.

"My request is the same. Tonight, we'll move the stuff to the new house, settle Mom, and then take the car back. After everything is settled tomorrow, we'll come back together," Qinghe thought, feeling more helpless about the past few days of rushing around.

If only he could let Xiuxiu stay home and not do anything every day, how wonderful that would be.

Then she wouldn't have to deal with all this rushing around and hard work.

"That's perfect. We can also talk to Xiao Zhang and the others about the situation. We left in such a hurry; they're bound to be worried," Bai Xiuxiu also thought it was a good idea.

"It's all my fault... I'm sorry," Qinghe said, holding his wife's hand with a pained expression.

Bai Xiuxiu was confused, "You?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be so tired," Qinghe felt guilty just thinking about it. Xiuxiu should have nothing to worry about and nothing to do.

She should live a stable, happy, and easy life.

Bai Xiuxiu was truly puzzled; what was her husband thinking about? Why did he feel he owed her?

Hasn't he been doing well?

Yu Cheng, walking ahead, stumbled.

He was shocked by Qinghe's words and barely managed to control his urge to turn back and ask what he was thinking!

Why did Qinghe suddenly feel he owed his wife?

In their family, Qinghe even cooks the meals. How could he think he wasn't doing enough?

Is his brain broken?

"Qinghe, isn't this life good? I'm not tired at all. Don't overthink it," Bai Xiuxiu tried to reassure him, not knowing where the problem lay.

Qinghe nodded slightly.

The three of them arrived at the state-run restaurant, and Yu Cheng went to order the food.

Shortly, he brought the food over.

Yu Cheng bought ten meat buns, two bowls of rice, a plate of braised pork, a plate of stewed fish, and a soup.

It was far more sumptuous compared to the meal they had with the He family earlier.

"Eat up, don't worry about saving money for me," Yu Cheng said cheerfully, thinking about how business could get back to normal and how convenient it would be to communicate with Qinghe. There was no downside.

Bai Xiuxiu and Qinghe didn't hesitate with Yu Cheng.

They had not known the He family as long as they had known Yu Cheng.

They had close ties with Yu Cheng, and their interests were entangled, so they were more familiar with Yu Cheng.

The three of them finished their meal and began discussing the main business quietly.

"Next, I will have the villagers help me collect balloon flowers. This medicinal herb is rarely collected and it takes up little space, making it more convenient to transport. Most importantly, the price is better than the Astragalus we had before."

Wang Qinghe mentioned this again.

Yu Cheng had no problem with it: "Don't worry. As long as you provide the medicinal herbs, I can sell them steadily for you."

"That's good, but I hope we can meet less often. Publicly, we shouldn't appear too familiar. This will be better for both of us."

Wang Qinghe added.

Yu Cheng paused for a moment and understood Wang Qinghe's meaning.

"Alright! I understand, Brother Yu. Rest assured, if anything needs to be discussed, I'll have someone contact you." At this point, Yu Cheng's unease was alleviated.

He had been concerned about the upcoming deal.

After all, people are unpredictable. What if Wang Qinghe and the others decided not to continue working with him?
