Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Uncle Wang, those were just small-scale operations. You must help me this time." Gao Jianguo dared not boast in front of Wang Dachui.

"Okay, don't worry, Jianguo. I've watched you grow up since you were a child, and what's written in that letter is all bullshit."

After receiving Director Wang's assurance, Gao Jianguo went home reassured.

The days that followed were peaceful and uneventful.

The couple would go on dates, go shopping, watch movies, and buy things they needed for their wedding.

Until one sunny afternoon, the team leader approached Shang Yanfang and asked her to go with him to pick up the educated youth.

Shang Yanfang had a premonition that her mother and brother were coming.

This time, only the brigade leader of Kaoshan Brigade and Shang Yanfang were waiting for the educated youth here.

"Uncle Lu, why did you ask me to come with you to pick up the educated youth?" Shang Yanfang wanted to get some answers from the brigade leader that she had guessed.

"Your father called me and said your younger brother was coming to our brigade for a rural assignment, so I just asked you to come along to pick him up." Captain Lu said to Shang Yanfang, his eyes filled with information that she didn't know.

"Oh, I heard from my family that Guokang is coming to our brigade, but I don't know when he will come," Shang Yanfang explained awkwardly under the stare of Captain Lu.

"Sister, second sister, you've come to pick us up!" Shang Yanfang heard the voice and looked to the side, only to see a young boy running towards her.

"Little girl, is that you? Your mother has come to see you." The old woman behind her rushed towards her.

After Shang Yanfang recognized the people, she ran towards them.

Shang Guokang, who was running ahead, saw his enthusiastic older sister, put down his things, and prepared to give her a hug.

To everyone's surprise, her older sister bypassed her and gave her mother a big hug.

He misplaced his affections, misplaced them all; his heartfelt longing for his sister was ultimately misplaced.

"Young man, you must be Shang Guokang, the younger brother of Shang Zhiqing," Captain Lu asked, looking at the tall and strong young man.

"Yes, Uncle, I am Shang Guokang. And you are?" Shang Guokang had some guesses when he saw that the person knew his name.

"You can just call me Uncle Lu. I'm the captain of the Kaoshan Brigade," Captain Lu introduced himself.

"Uncle Lu, it's you! My father and I often talk about you at home."

"How is your father?" Captain Lu asked nostalgically.

"It's pretty good now, they can still chase me for three blocks." Shang Guokang said as if he had just thought of something.

"Who is that?" Captain Lu asked, looking at the woman embracing Shang Yanfang in the distance.

"That's my mother. She heard my sister is getting married, so she came to check on her," Shang Guokang explained.

Upon hearing this, Captain Lu stopped talking to Shang Guokang and went straight to Shang's mother. "Hello, sister-in-law, hello."

When the woman, Shang, was looking at her daughter, saw the visitor address her as "sister-in-law," she immediately realized what was going on.

"Brother Lu, it's been a long time since we last met," Shang's mother said politely to Captain Lu.

"Yes, it's been a long time!" Mrs. Shang awkwardly touched her nose; she was just being polite. As for when they had last seen each other, she honestly couldn't remember.

"Here, sister-in-law, let me carry it for you." Captain Lu said eagerly as he looked at the luggage bag at Shang's mother's feet.

"Then thank you very much, Captain Lu." Mrs. Shang didn't stand on ceremony and thanked him directly.

When the group reached the oxcart, Shang Yanfang saw her younger brother looking at her with a resentful gaze.

"Guokang, when did you arrive?"

Shang Guokang was even angrier.

Shang Yanfang seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately tried to make amends, saying, "I didn't expect you to leave even faster than our mother."

"Sister, stop talking now, let's go back!" Shang Guokang really didn't want to hear his sister speak anymore.

“Okay, okay. Let’s go back now.” Shang Yanfang said, first helping her mother onto the oxcart. Then she got on the oxcart herself.

Shang Guohua reluctantly squeezed into the small space left for him.

Team leader Lu and Grandpa Niu sat in front.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in her younger brother's eyes, Shang Yanfang played the victim and said, "Guokang, you should be grateful. You even have an oxcart to ride in when you go to the countryside. When I went to the countryside, I had to walk back."

Shang Yanfang's words took on a different meaning when heard by Shang's mother.

Her daughter is suffering terribly in the countryside.

Unconsciously, Shang's mother looked at Shang Yanfang with even more affection.

Shang Guokang said, "..." It would be better to let him walk. Two days on the train is tiring enough. Squeezing onto an oxcart would be uncomfortable no matter what.

Just then, Gao Jianguo rode his bicycle past the oxcart and greeted Shang Yanfang directly, saying, "Yanfang, do you need me to take you back?"

Shang's mother looked Gao Jianguo up and down. He seemed to be quite tall, good-looking, and very polite.

My first impression was quite good.

Gao Jianguo also sized up Shang Guokang and his mother, thinking, "They must be his mother-in-law and brother-in-law."

"No need, I'll go back with my mother." Shang Yanfang's words confirmed Gao Jianguo's suspicions.

"Brother, would you like me to give you a ride?" Gao Jianguo asked, noticing Shang Guokang's discomfort.

Shang Guokang was a little happy; he was finally free from this cramped and uncomfortable situation. "Sure," he said. He had just been hesitating, wondering if he should ask this person for a ride since his sister had refused.

The man asked, and he definitely agreed.

After Gao Jianguo and Shang Guokang left, Shang's mother whispered in Shang Yanfang's ear, "Nannan, is that man you're going to marry?"

"Yes, his name is Gao Jianguo." Shang Yanfang said shyly.

"He's a very nice young man, polite and good-looking." Shang's mother had a very positive opinion of Gao Jianguo.

"What's his family situation?" Shang's mother asked her daughter again.

"His family only has one grandfather." Shang Yanfang only mentioned Gao Jianguo's identity in Kaoshan Brigade, without mentioning his biological grandfather.

“There’s only one grandfather, not many people, but not much trouble either,” Shang’s mother said after thinking for a moment.

"Mother, how long can you stay here?"

“I took half a month off, and after deducting the travel time, I can stay for ten days. Oh dear, I forgot, I forgot to let your dad know I’m safe.”

"Mom, don't worry, don't worry. We'll call Dad tomorrow," Shang Yanfang comforted her mother.

"Alright, I'm not in a hurry." Madam Shang wasn't in a rush anymore; if she wanted to forget, she could!

Meanwhile, Shang's father, who was waiting for a call at the factory, waited until it was completely dark before finally riding his bicycle home.

"Is this where you live?" Shang's mother asked, looking at the not-so-good room, as the oxcart arrived at the educated youth settlement.

"Yes, but I built my own house." Shang Yanfang scratched her nose; it seemed she hadn't told her family that she had built a house.
