Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 459: I can’t ask you to pay for the job, right?

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly replied: "Based on the pulse, she is probably more than a month pregnant!"

"Ok!"

Yao Meilan didn't feel strange when she heard this answer.

After all, if the pregnancy lasts for a long time, Zhao Qiuyan is not a fool and will definitely notice it.

Because the pregnancy lasted for a short time, I didn't have that awareness.

Soon, she silently calculated the approximate due date in her mind so that she could prepare various things for Zhao Qiuyan.

As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of something else and said hurriedly, "Oh, Qiuyan is pregnant now, so we have to hurry up and get the replacement done."

"Replacement?"

Zhao Qiuyan couldn't help but ask in confusion when she heard this: "Mom, what do you mean by substitute?"

"that."

Yao Meilan smiled slightly, then explained softly, "Your sister-in-law and the others have to work and take care of the children at the same time, so they are a little too busy! I wanted to give you my job quota.

This will allow you to transfer your household registration to the city, so that your children will not be unable to get a household registration in the city and have no food ration.

On the other hand, I can also help take care of the children at home.”

"Isn't this not good?"

After hearing this, Zhao Qiuyan glanced at Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan nervously, and then spoke with an embarrassed look on her face.

In fact, of course she wanted this job, but in front of Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan, she didn't dare to reveal the slightest sign of coveting.

If this makes Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan dislike her, then even if she gets the job, she will not be able to benefit from Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan in the future.

"okay!"

Seeing Zhao Qiuyan's expression, Yao Meilan hurriedly said, "I have already discussed this matter with your father, your brother, and your sisters-in-law. Tomorrow, I will apply to the factory and try to get it done in the next few days."

"Okay then! I'll listen to you!"

When Zhao Qiuyan heard what Yao Meilan said, and saw that Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan did not raise any objections, she nodded obediently and agreed.

After saying that, she stroked her belly with her hand, feeling a little unreal.

She didn't expect that the things she had been looking forward to for half a year would be solved all at once today.

"Well, it's getting late. You should get some rest first. I'll let Xiaofu take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup tomorrow morning."

Yao Meilan looked at Zhao Qiuyan's well-behaved appearance and couldn't help feeling satisfied. She then hurriedly began to give instructions.

After saying that, she turned to look at Luo Guofu and gave him a warning look.

Luo Guofu's heart tightened when he saw it, and he quickly said, "Mom, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of Yan Zi."

"It better be this way!"

Yao Meilan's expression straightened up, and then she said in a serious tone, "If you dare to mess around with me and make Yan Zi angry, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

"This"

When Luo Guofu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Originally, he was thinking about asking Yao Meilan to fulfill their original promise!
Unexpectedly, Yao Meilan actually went back on her word.

If he can't mess around outside, what's the point of him living?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Yao Meilan aside, then lowered his voice and said with dissatisfaction: "Mom, have you forgotten what you promised me? You said that as long as I give birth to a child for the Luo family, you will no longer care about me playing outside!"

"I didn't forget!"

Yao Meilan raised her eyebrows, then said with some amusement: "The baby hasn't been born yet!"

"Forehead"

When Luo Guofu heard this, he was immediately speechless.

Then, he thought that it would take at least seven or eight months for Zhao Qiuyan to give birth to the child, so he said with a bitter face: "Mom, you can't do this. How can you change your mind about something you clearly agreed on?"

"Who said I changed my mind?"

Yao Meilan's face darkened, and then she said with some dissatisfaction: "At the beginning, I just promised you that after you gave birth to a child for the Luo family, I would not care about your trivial matters.

However, Yan Zi has just gotten pregnant and the baby has not been born yet, so it naturally does not count."

"I"

After listening to this, Luo Guofu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Because he knew that with Yao Meilan's attitude, no matter what he said, it would be impossible for Yao Meilan to change her mind.

So, instead of wasting time begging Yao Meilan, it is better to think carefully about how to hide it from Yao Meilan.

"okay!"

Seeing that Luo Guofu didn't say anything, Yao Meilan thought he was sulking, so she quickly spoke to comfort him, "I promise you, as long as Yan Zi successfully helps the Luo family give birth to a big fat boy, I won't care how you play outside in the future."

"Then you must keep your word this time!"

Hearing this, Luo Guofu immediately pretended to be somewhat reluctant and said: "Otherwise, I will tell Dad that you lied to me!"

"Look at you, you're such a loser!"

When Yao Meilan heard that Luo Guofu was actually planning to tell Li Dawei about this, she couldn't help but say with some disdain, "Isn't it just asking you to be patient for another half a year? Do you have to make a fuss like a child?

Anyway, I am warning you, you better behave yourself, or I will let your sister deal with you!"

After saying that, she didn't care about Luo Guofu's reaction. She turned around and went back to the bed, watching Li Guoqiang give Zhao Qiuyan acupuncture.

Luo Guofu looked at Yao Meilan's back, first stuck out his tongue in indignation, then hurried forward to check on Zhao Qiuyan's condition.

No matter what, Zhao Qiuyan is still his wife, and now she is pregnant with his child, so he naturally has to pay more attention to her.

Soon, Li Guoqiang removed all the silver needles from Zhao Qiuyan's body, and then took her pulse.

After making sure that Zhao Qiuyan's physical condition had improved, he began to remind her of the daily precautions and asked her to pay more attention to rest.

Immediately afterwards, he did not stay for long and immediately left with Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan.

When Zhao Qiuyan saw Li Guoqiang and others leave, she couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.

When Luo Guofu saw Li Guoqiang and others leave, he sat down on the edge of the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then, he turned his head to look at Zhao Qiuyan, and suddenly had an idea and said, "Wife, do you think you will do the same as my sister and make a three-shot move?" "How would I know that?"

Zhao Qiuyan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"How about we ask the doctor tomorrow when we go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Luo Guofu raised his eyebrows, then suggested with anticipation on his face.

After all, as Li Guoqiang's younger brother, he can't be much worse than Li Guoqiang.

Even if you can't give birth to three babies in one birth, you should at least give birth to two, right?
"Just ask if you want to!"

When Zhao Qiuyan heard this, she immediately spoke with an indifferent look on her face.

For her, it doesn’t matter how many children she can give birth to in one pregnancy. What matters is whether she can give birth to a son.

However, she had just become pregnant, and even if she wanted to ask the doctor, the doctor would not be able to answer her question.

Therefore, she could only secretly hope that she was carrying a son.

In addition, what she is looking forward to most is what Yao Meilan mentioned as the replacement job.

As long as she could successfully find a job in the textile factory and obtain a city hukou, she would be able to return to her parents' home with her head held high.

At the same time, she can also make those villagers who look down on her mother's family take a good look at her achievements.

"Okay, I'll ask then!"

When Luo Guofu saw Zhao Qiuyan's attitude, he didn't care much and immediately spoke with a happy face.

After saying this, he thought that if he could give birth to two sons in one pregnancy, he would be able to brag about it for the rest of his life.

What's more important is that with this achievement, no one can say that he is incapable.

In other words, even if he fails to cure the disease in the future, it doesn’t matter.

Just as he was imagining his bright future, Li Dawei finally learned the good news from Yao Meilan that Zhao Qiuyan was pregnant.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a very happy smile appeared on his face.

After all, Luo Guofu was the child he raised personally. Even if he changed his surname back now, he hoped that Luo Guofu could cure his illness and have a few children for the Luo family.

Then, he and Yao Meilan thought the same thing and hurriedly asked Yao Meilan to apply to the factory as soon as possible to give the job to Zhao Qiuyan, so as to avoid the problem of not being able to register the child in the city after giving birth.

Yao Meilan naturally nodded in agreement. Then she hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked worriedly, "Dad, what do you think is the best way to deal with the old man? Yanzi is pregnant now, and she has only been pregnant for a short time. She needs to pay special attention to rest. Naturally, she can't be asked to help take care of the old man.

And I have to help Juanzi and Xiuzhen take care of the children, so how can I have time to take care of the old man?"

"this."

Li Dawei frowned and thought about it for a while, then he quietly suggested, "How about we spend some money to hire someone to take care of the old man?"

"This"

Yao Meilan frowned when she heard this, then said hesitantly, "Isn't this a bad idea? In a few days, I will be an idle person without salary. I can't ask you to pay for hiring someone, right?

Besides, you also know that Qiangzi is very dissatisfied with the old man because of that incident. If he knew that we spent money to hire someone to take care of the old man, wouldn't he make trouble with us?"

"That's true!"

When Li Dawei heard what Yao Meilan said, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, he pondered it in his mind, and then suggested, "How about this! Didn't Qiangzi say before that he would go and see if the old illness could be cured? Let's wait for a while until he finishes the examination.

If he can help cure the old man's old illness, then we won't have to worry about this problem anymore.

If he can't be cured, then we can think of a more comprehensive solution."

"Row!"

When Yao Meilan heard this, she immediately nodded and agreed.

Although she didn't know how Li Guoqiang learned medical skills, after a series of events that happened before, she had great confidence in Li Guoqiang's medical skills.

In her opinion, as long as Li Guoqiang is willing to help treat Luo Jiwu with all his heart, he will definitely be cured.

The question is how long this treatment process will take.

If it really doesn't work, she can just ask Luo Guofu to pay for the job.

Anyway, at most they would only need to hire someone for a year or two, which is affordable given the income of Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, both working professionals.

However, she did not say this idea directly, and planned to wait until Li Guoqiang helped Luo Jiwu to take a look before making a decision.

Soon, it was the next morning.

Luo Guofu got up early in the morning, rode his bicycle and took Zhao Qiuyan to the nearby People's Hospital for a physical examination.

Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others, just like yesterday, had breakfast at home before going to Xiangmi Zhai together.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guoqiang sent Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan to the textile factory and let them take care of their own affairs.

Afterwards, he did not return to Xiangmi Zhai, but went directly to the home of his cheap cousin Chen Wen'an. By the way, he did not forget to take out some good wine, tea, game, and a rabbit fur coat from his small world.

However, when he got there, he did not see Chen Wen'an, but only his step-cousin Yu Jiaxue.

Yu Jiaxue was a little surprised at his arrival, but then she quickly welcomed him into the house with enthusiasm.

"Aunt, I brought this rabbit fur coat back from the countryside especially for you. Do you like it?"

Li Guoqiang walked into the house, first took the supplies to the table and piled them up, then took out the rabbit fur coat, handed it to Yu Jiaxue, and spoke with a soft smile.

"This"

Yu Jiaxue looked at the rabbit fur coat in front of her that was covered in snow-white fur. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said hesitantly, "Isn't this too expensive?"

"fine!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly explained: "This rabbit fur coat was made by hunting rabbits in the mountains myself, then having the fur tanned by someone. It didn't cost me much in total, so you can accept it with confidence!
Besides, this rabbit fur coat can only be worn by a woman with a certain temperament like you."

"Ah!"

Yu Jiaxue was slightly delighted when she heard Li Guoqiang's praise, and then she laughed and said, "You are quite good at talking! I have no choice but to accept it."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, took the rabbit fur coat, and then looked at it carefully with shining eyes.

Logically speaking, as someone who comes from a wealthy family and is the wife of a district party committee director, her standards must be very high.

But, who could have imagined that this rabbit fur coat was covered with snow-white fur?
This kind of stuff is hard to come by, so it's no surprise that she is so jealous.
