Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

After hearing this, Wang Hongtao nodded in agreement: "That's really bad."

Then he changed the subject: "By the way, Auntie, how come Uncle is also a Level 7 worker? You know so many people, but you haven't met anyone who knows you well and whose family conditions are so poor that they can't afford to support themselves?"

"If you're worried that you won't be able to raise him well, then it shouldn't be a problem to just bring him home when he's young, right?"

"Why not?!" The aunt blurted out:

"But we don't dare to accept such a child. Whose child is not the flesh and blood of the mother?"

"Even if we are allowed to take the child in because of the difficult conditions right now, what if conditions improve in a few years? What if the child's biological parents come looking for the child? We can develop feelings when raising a cat or a dog, let alone a child!"

……

For a moment, the scene in the house was stagnant, and the silence was so unsettling.

Finally, it was the aunt who lost her temper first: "Xiao Wang, you came to see me today for a reason. Just tell me what's going on. Don't play guessing games with me here!"

Wang Hongtao pretended to hesitate and said carefully: "Well, I got some news before. I thought that since you two don't have any children, this would be perfect for you two, but..."

"But what is the but? You kid, please finish your sentence!"

It was also Wang Hongtao's fault that he hit the spot too well. He was just tickling the old lady's itch, but the boy stopped there and couldn't move!

But it made the aunt anxious...

Wang Hongtao then said slowly, "Hasn't there been a lot of famine victims in our city recently? The higher authorities instructed the subdistrict offices to properly resettle them, but something went wrong at the Chaoyang Subdistrict Office next door. They said a widow brought her two children here to escape the famine, but the widow didn't hold on and died."

"After that, the two younger ones were left behind. The boy is six years old and the girl is three years old. They are both pretty good-looking, but a little thin. But they will be back after a little care. The most important thing is that the two children are very well-behaved and sensible."

"The deputy director of Chaoyang Subdistrict Office happens to be the wife of our factory director Li. She talked to me about this while driving today. According to the leader's intention, we were planning to send the two children to the welfare home today."

"I was thinking of you and my uncle. I thought it would be hard to find such a good child, so I asked the leader to help me postpone it for two days."

Wang Hongtao continued to deceive: "I originally thought that these two children have no other relatives, and they are healthy, well-shaped, and have not grown crooked. Aren't they tailor-made for you two?"

"I heard from the eldest boy that they have no surname, they just take their stepfather's surname!"

If what was said before only made the aunt slightly moved, then the last sentence completely touched her.

After all, whether it is Shazhu or Banggeng, all they can do is to provide for the old age and see to the end of their lives. But now there is hope of leaving descendants for the Yi family. How can an old lady who has felt guilty for half her life not be tempted?

The aunt nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Wang Hongtao then added fuel to the fire: "The older one is six years old this year. When the older uncle retires in ten years or so, he will be able to take over the job at the factory. By then, with your family's financial situation, it won't be easy to find him a wife. Who knows, you may even have a big fat grandson next year."

The aunt's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the scene of her and Lao Yi chasing a fat boy in the yard even emerged in her mind.

How happy that would be...

At this time, Wang Hongtao raised his hand and said, "Well, it's almost time. I have to go home and then rush back to the factory to have lunch. I won't chat with you any more."

"See you later, Auntie!"

At this time, the auntie refused to let Wang Hongtao leave. She grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a moment, Xiao Wang. Tell me more about the two children. What do they look like? Do they have good tempers and personalities?"

The aunt felt very itchy and wanted to hear more about the two children.

Wang Hongtao didn't really plan to leave. Just like he said, it was just a matter of time before he could leave. What could go wrong?

"I can only say that the two children are well-behaved, cute and adorable. Most importantly, they are well-behaved and filial. I can't describe them in more detail. Wait for the eldest uncle to come back and discuss it with you two. If you have any ideas, I will take you two to have a look."

"Also, I only got two days from the leader, so you two better make a decision sooner."

After saying that, Wang Hongtao turned around and left the house.

I wondered if Jingru had come over. I haven’t favored this girl for some time.

……

"Hey, Xiao Wang, don't worry. Wait until Uncle comes back and discuss it with him." Auntie sent Wang Hongtao out the door and watched him walk into the backyard before walking back into the house with a surging heart.

After closing the door, the old lady paced back and forth nervously. She was really shocked by what Wang Hongtao said.

Especially the last scene: more than ten years later, the adopted son takes over the factory, the daughter-in-law serves at home, and the old couple chases after their grandson. That's what life is like, right?! Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Originally, the couple counted on Jia Dongxu to support them in their old age, but now that he is gone, there is naturally no need to mention that idea anymore.

Later, they relied on Sha Zhu and the Jia family to jointly provide for their retirement.

In that case, He Daqing and Bang Geng would be like two huge mountains standing in front of them, with no way to get around them.

Although the aunt was upset, she had no other choice but to endure it.

But after Wang Hongtao's analysis today, she found that no matter how she compared it, adopting a child was much more reliable than Shazhu and Banggeng.

What’s more, both children will have the surname Yi in the future. Can the Yi who can be registered in the household registration book be the same as that of outsiders?

The aunt wished she could run to the welfare home to see the two children right now.

However, Yi Zhonghai has the final say on all matters big and small at home, so she can only wait anxiously at home for Yi Zhonghai to come back as soon as possible, feeling very uneasy.

……

Wang Hongtao walked into the backyard and found Qin Jingru had been waiting at the door, chatting and laughing with Lou Xiaoe who lived next door.

Seeing Wang Hongtao coming back, Qin Jingru said goodbye to Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e pouted and looked at Wang Hongtao, seeming to be a little grumpy.

"I have a few words to say to Jingru. Sister-in-law, come in and sit with me?" Wang Hongtao invited generously.

"Humph!"

Lou Xiao'e walked in front angrily.

I was just joking, how come you actually came in?

Wang Hongtao was in a dilemma and was embarrassed for a moment.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

With this thought in mind, Wang Hongtao followed him into the house.

Entering the corner of the house, he took the two girls in each hand.

Lou Xiao'e was better off, as she had already known that this bastard had set his sights on Qin Jingru.

But Qin Jingru was dumbfounded. This...

Isn't Xiao'e the wife of Brother Damao? Why is she with Brother Tao???

"Well... Jingru, there are no outsiders in the room. I didn't intend to hide it from you. Although the process in between is a bit complicated, the fact is that Sister Xiao'e is my woman just like your sister."

Qin Jingru covered her mouth with her hands, looking incredulous.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e also stood up to comfort her: "That's right, Jingru, Lao Wang's meaning is very clear. He is willing to marry you, but the premise is that you don't mind him having other women outside."

"I……..."

Pu Yi received such shocking news that Qin Jingru was unable to react for a moment and stood there in a daze.

"If you can accept it, it's basically like this. If you really can't accept it, I won't force you. I will give you the compensation you deserve, but you have to help keep it a secret."

Lou Xiao'e is worthy of being the daughter of Lou Bancheng. She handles such matters very well.

Of course, it is also possible that this kind of thing has already happened in the Lou family, and Lou Xiao'e is just following suit.

"I...I can accept that!"

After just a moment's hesitation, Qin Jingru made the decision immediately.

It was not difficult to make this decision. She had already lost her virginity to Wang Hongtao. Let alone marrying a good man, even if she married a bad one, the fact that she had lost her virginity before marriage was enough for her to bear.

And in her opinion, a capable man should not stick to only one woman.

Looking at the two girls' performance, Wang Hongtao's mouth curled up, and then he hugged them tighter.

Qin Jingru blushed.

Lou Xiao'e pinched Wang Hongtao hard and muttered, "You got such a good deal, you bastard!"
