Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Uncle, Shaoyang is only about 100 kilometers away from here, it's not a long drive."

"Xiaoyang, my house won't be finished for long, and I'm planning to go to Dongguan. Do you think it would be okay for me to work for Dawei?"

"Oh, you're going too?"

"It's just carrying sand and cement, why can't I do it? I do chores at home too, right? If I go to work in a factory, I'm too old to find a job."

"Uncle, you should discuss this with Dawei. It's not appropriate for me to say anything."

"Um!"

Ding Yang took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket.

"Uncle, this is what Dawei asked me to bring you, ten thousand yuan, you can count it."

"David called me yesterday, but he didn't tell you to bring money."

"He probably forgot. You can keep it."

"Xiaoyang, Dawei has already left the factory and is going to learn to drive. Where did he get so much money?"

"Wang Chang quit his job at the factory and has some wages. He still has some money on him, so don't worry. Just focus on building the house properly, and they can move in when they come back."

"Oh, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

"Uncle, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

"Okay, then take care."

After leaving Dawei's house, Ding Yang rode his motorcycle to Zhang Feng's house.

"sister in law!"

Zhang Feng was overjoyed to see Ding Yang arrive and pulled her into the room.

"You brat!"

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you pulling and tugging at me?"

"Did you date a rich woman in Dongguan?"

"What are you thinking, trying to date a rich woman?"

"Xiaoyang, I went to see Changgen a while ago. He said his sentence was reduced by a few months and he'll be out in about six months. Could you find him a job then?"

"Sister-in-law, this won't do! If he finds out we're having an affair, he'll fight me to the death!"

"Are you crazy? If you don't tell and I don't tell either, how will he know?"

"Not necessarily. Some things can't be hidden even if you look closely. You should keep him away from me. It's better if we don't see each other."

"What, are you afraid of him?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him. With his size, even two of them wouldn't be a match for me. I just feel too embarrassed."

"Xiao Yang, Chang Gen is a very honest man. He was misled into stealing the transformer and got caught without really knowing what was going on. Otherwise, why would he have gone?"

"Sister-in-law, let's wait until he gets out before we talk about it. I'll have someone introduce him to a job, okay?"

"That's more like it!"

As she spoke, Zhang Feng began to grope him.

"Sister-in-law, no, I don't want to hurt you again. Wasn't the lesson learned enough that I caused you to have an abortion last time?"

"It's okay, I have condoms here."

"Damn, you even prepared this? Are you living in your house to cheat on your partner?"

"Bullshit, I have no one but you. The condoms were given to me by the village committee's family planning officer."

"Sister-in-law, it's all in the past. I don't want to let Changgen down anymore."

"Hmph, why didn't you say sorry before? Why didn't you say sorry when you were having fun? Now that you've found something better outside, you're complaining about this 'coarse grain' (metaphorically speaking), huh?"

"Don't overthink it, okay? Nothing like that happened."

"To be honest with you, I did have a girlfriend over there, so I didn't want to betray her."

"Hmph, I knew you couldn't stay idle."

Ding Yang pulled open his collar, revealing his shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, look at my shoulders. I was doing manual labor in Dongguan, not chasing girls."

Zhang Feng touched Ding Yang's shoulder and saw that it was covered in calluses, which was obviously caused by carrying heavy loads for a long time.

"I didn't expect you to actually be doing hard labor, you little rascal! Didn't you say you were driving a car at the factory?"

"I drive a truck at the factory. I have to unload goods and do other work. There are some things I haven't told my grandparents. If you don't believe me, just look at my shoulders. Do you think I'm slacking off?"

"It seems you've had a tough time too."

"Who has it easy these days? Even being a prostitute isn't easy."

Ding Yang took out 3000 yuan.

"Sister-in-law, take this money. Buy some food for the child and a couple of sets of clothes."

"Xiaoyang, no need, I still have money on me."

"What money could you possibly have? Don't I know you too well? You're a woman with a child, and Changgen's in prison. What money could you possibly have? The pigs you raise don't earn you much either."

"Thank you!"

"Sister-in-law, Changgen will be back in six months. When he comes back, try to live a good life with him. Changgen is actually a pretty honest person. Don't cause any more trouble. If you hadn't forced him to go out and earn money, how could he have stolen a transformer?"

"Xiaoyang, when Changgen comes out, I'll go to work outside with him. I'll leave the child with my parents. Anyway, he's in junior high now and lives at school."

"Well, if you two come to Dongguan to work together, maybe I can help you out."

"Thanks!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. Second Master is still waiting for me to finish my meal. I'm going to check on my Second Madam."

"Xiaoyang, I haven't had any sex with you since you went to Dongguan. Can't you keep me company? It's been so long, I really miss you."

"Sister-in-law, please don't say these things. This isn't an emergency, I can't help you. If you're really feeling unwell, you have to deal with it yourself."

"Ugh, how am I supposed to handle this myself? You're such a fucking bastard."

Ding Yang took off running. Zhang Feng suddenly felt very disappointed. Her little man was gone and would never touch her again.

Ding Yang brought a pack of Furongwang cigarettes to Second Master's house.

"Second Master!"

"grandmother!"

"Xiao Yang, have a seat!"

"Second Master, I didn't buy anything else, but I brought you a carton of cigarettes."

"Xiaoyang, why did you buy such expensive cigarettes? It's too wasteful."

"sit!"

Ding Yang took out a Furongwang cigarette and handed it to Second Master.

"Xiao Yang, you drive at the factory, you must know a lot of bosses, right?"

"No, driving is a job too, but I drive for my boss, so we know each other. What's up?"

"Yanzi is in Changsha and says it's hard to find a job these days. She wants to go to Dongguan. Could you introduce her to a job?"

"Second Master, Yanzi just graduated from university, how come she can't find a job?"

"She only has a second-tier university degree, and it's not easy to find a job these days. She's been in training lately, saying she wants to take the civil service exam, but I doubt she has much of a chance."

"She made a bad choice in her major; why did she have to study psychology? It's just a waste of time."

"Second Master, I only drive for the factory. She'll probably have to find a job on her own. If she goes to Dongguan, she'll probably have a hard time finding a job in her field."

"There are many factories over there, but they're all assembly line workers. She's a college graduate; she can't possibly be fixing screws, can she? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"Sigh, it seems like she wasted her time in college, it was a complete waste of money."

"Second Master, how about this, you let her find a job on her own first. If she really can't find one, she can go to Dongguan. At worst, she can work as a clerk in a factory. These days, college graduates aren't worth much."

"Well, it's up to her."

Second Grandma came over.

"Xiaoyang, how about Grandma acts as a matchmaker for you?"

"Second Madam, what woman would want to marry him? You must be joking."

"My brother's daughter."

"Are you kidding me? Your brother's daughter is my elder; I have to call her aunt."
