Chapter 444: Do You Still Want a Son?
Wang Fuguo quickly took a set of clothes from the pile beside him and handed it to her. “Alright, it’s already noon. It’s getting late. Just now, Third Sister-in-law came by, and she’s downstairs waiting for us. We should hurry up and get ourselves ready, so we don’t keep her waiting too long.”
When Jiang Huijing heard it was noon, she looked surprised. “No wonder I was wondering why I was so hungry. Turns out, we haven’t even had breakfast.”
“You just said Third Sister-in-law came. What did she come for?” Jiang Huijing muttered as she changed clothes.
“How would I know what she came for? But we still rely on her, so we’d better not keep her waiting. Are you ready yet? Hurry up and come down.” Wang Fuguo urged, a little impatient.
Jiang Huijing quickly put on her pants and answered, “Alright, alright.”
In the lobby of the guest house, Li Yiyi sat there, looking around.
After waiting for nearly two minutes, she finally heard the voices of the couple coming from upstairs.
Before long, the couple stood in front of her.
“Third Sister-in-law, why did you come? Where’s Third Brother?” Jiang Huijing asked.
Li Yiyi glanced at the couple and replied, “He had to go to work. I came to see you both. I also heard from Third Brother that you wanted to find jobs here, is that right?”
As soon as she asked, the couple immediately looked nervous.
Wang Fuguo, with a flattering smile, sat down opposite her. “Yes, yes, Third Sister-in-law, we came here with that plan. It’s just that it’s so hard to find a job outside, and since you all are here, we can have some connections, right?”
Li Yiyi glanced at him and didn’t think highly of Wang Fuguo.
He was lazy, loved to take shortcuts, and worse, Wang Fuguo had a bad habit of hitting his wife a few years ago.
She didn’t know if he had changed in the past few years.
“What kind of job are you looking for? Tell me, and I’ll help you inquire when I have time,” she continued asking.
Hearing her question, the couple was even more excited, as if they thought she could immediately help them find a job.
“Actually, we don’t have too many requirements. As long as the job is a bit easier and the salary is higher, that’s fine.” Jiang Huijing said, her face a little embarrassed.
Wang Fuguo added after his wife spoke, “My requirements are simple too. Just something a bit easier and with a higher salary.”
After hearing their requirements, Li Yiyi forced a smile. “How about I let your Third Brother open a small shop for you and let you be the boss?”
The couple didn’t pick up on the sarcasm in her words and actually thought it was a real suggestion. Their faces immediately lit up with excitement.
“Can he do that? Will Third Brother agree?” Jiang Huijing asked, excited.
Li Yiyi looked at the couple’s greedy and lazy expressions and didn’t want to look at them any longer. She quickly stood up. “Alright, I understand your requirements. I’ll see what I can do for you. But you two shouldn’t wander around aimlessly. If you get into trouble, it won’t be good.”
Before the couple could speak, Li Yiyi quickly left the guest house and rode away on her bicycle.
The couple watched her leave, their eyes following until she disappeared from sight.
Once the bicycle and person were out of view, the couple finally turned their gaze back.
Jiang Huijing, a little worried, asked the man beside her, “Fuqi, do you think Third Sister-in-law can help us find such a job?”
“I think it will work,” Wang Fuguo replied as he walked beside her into the guest house, answering without thinking when he heard her question.
“Why do you trust Third Sister-in-law so much?” Jiang Huijing asked suspiciously, staring at him.
When Wang Fuguo saw her expression, he immediately realized that this silly woman was probably thinking some nonsense again.
“Stop with that doubtful look on your face. I’ll tell you, Li Yiyi is my maternal side’s Third Sister-in-law. I wouldn’t dare to have any improper thoughts about her. Besides, with your Third Brother’s manner, I definitely wouldn’t,” Wang Fuguo explained angrily, poking his wife.
Jiang Huijing snorted lightly. “You’d better not. I’ll tell you, my Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother are very loving. If he finds out you have those dirty thoughts about Third Sister-in-law, I won’t be able to save you.”
“I’ve told you there’s nothing. How many times do I need to tell you before you believe me? You’re such a silly woman. Don’t always think like that. Right now, I only have one thought, and that’s to make money quickly and then have a son with you when we go back home,” Wang Fuguo said loudly.
When the topic of having a son came up, both of them showed a hint of sadness. They had been married for many years, but in all this time, they only had one daughter. They hadn’t had a son. They were hoping that when they made enough money, they could visit a doctor and see if they could have a son.
At this point, Wang Fuguo suddenly slapped his thigh. “Oh, why have we been so dumb? We’ve been thinking about making money to see a doctor, but we forgot that we have a great traditional Chinese medicine doctor nearby.”
“Who?” Jiang Huijing, still upset, looked at him in confusion.
Seeing she still didn’t realize who he meant, Wang Fuguo rolled his eyes. “Jiang Huijing, you’re a little slow in the head usually, but if you’re this slow now, how are we going to raise a son like you?”
Jiang Huijing, a little annoyed, said, “I’m not slow. Look at my Third Brother’s kids, they’re so smart. They’re both surnamed Jiang, and I’m also surnamed Jiang. How could the son I give birth to be dumb?”
Wang Fuguo gave a light snort. “They’re them, and you’re you. Are they the same?”
Jiang Huijing pointed at him, fuming. “You…”
“Alright, enough. Let’s talk seriously. The great doctor I’m talking about is your Third Sister-in-law. I heard she’s very capable. Didn’t she help your eldest brother’s leg recover?” Wang Fuguo said seriously.
“Can it work? She’s a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. How could it be as good as Western medicine?” Jiang Huijing shook her head after thinking for a while.
Wang Fuguo, seeing her silly expression, sighed and rolled his eyes. “You’re so dumb. Western medicine is nothing compared to the medicine our ancestors have researched. I trust Chinese medicine, and that’s settled. You should go ask your Third Sister-in-law to help you check it out.”
