In the evening, I accompanied Li Xiuzhi to arrange accommodation for her parents and nephew.

Back in the house,

After coaxing the child, the couple sat on the kang and chatted. "Thank you, head of the family," Li Xiuzhi hugged He Yuzhu's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly.

"What are you talking about? It's my fault for not thinking it through. I should have brought your parents here a long time ago. I didn't expect that the lack of food in your hometown would lead to people starving to death," He Yuzhu hugged his wife and comforted her softly.

"I heard from my parents that they didn't keep much of the food you mailed back to my hometown. All the aunts and uncles in the village came to borrow some and saved a lot of people," Li Xiuzhi told He Yuzhu about her hometown while enjoying their time together.

"What happened to my brother-in-law? How could he starve to death? This place is known as the land of abundance, so how could there be a shortage of food?" He Yuzhu was very surprised.

"When the activity started, no one had the energy to farm and all the crops were abandoned, which led to the famine. My eldest brother died before he could get your food, and he fell ill before that," Li Xiuzhi said as she burst into tears.

Thinking about how she had loved her eldest brother since childhood and she didn't get to see him for the last time, and thinking about her nephew who lost his mother when he was young and now his father, she felt so sorry for him that she stopped herself from saying something.

He Yuzhu and Li Xiuzhi have been married for many years and have a tacit understanding. Looking at Li Xiuzhi's expression, he knew that she had something else to say.

"Xiuzhi, is there anything we can't talk about as husband and wife?" He Yuzhu asked his wife.

"Boss, I want to keep my parents and nephew by my side, but I can't rely on you to support them. I want you to find a job for my nephew."

"Just a temporary job will do, so he can support himself and his grandparents," Li Xiuzhi mustered up the courage to speak to He Yuzhu with her head down. Perhaps because she felt that doing so would put too much pressure on He Yuzhu, she didn't even dare to raise her head.

"I thought it was something serious. I went to talk to Director Li and it would be easy to find a job for my nephew."

"Your parents should live at home and we will take care of them in their old age." He Yuzhu thought Li Xiuzhi was talking about something else.

It turned out that he wanted to find a job for his nephew. For He Yuzhu now, this was a very simple thing, and Li Huaide would not refuse.

"No, my parents must be supported by my nephew. This is what he should do. You just need to visit them occasionally and help them with what you can."

"Although I feel sorry for my parents, you are the son-in-law and it is my brother's job to take care of my parents. If my brother is gone, there is still my nephew, it is not your turn, he must be self-reliant," Li Xiuzhi raised her head and rejected He Yuzhu firmly.

Although she asked He Yuzhu to help her nephew find a job, she would never add burden to He Yuzhu by letting him support two elderly people.

Looking at Li Xiuzhi with a determined look in her eyes, He Yuzhu stroked his wife's hair with deep emotion.

Thinking of Qin Huairu who has returned to the countryside, if he married her and said he would take care of her parents, Qin Huairu would probably be so happy that her nose would snot bubbles, and she would not even say a word of thanks, thinking it was her duty.

"Okay, I get it. I'll find a good job for my nephew so that he can support his parents and marry a wife," He Yuzhu promised his wife. But at this moment, Qin Jingru's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Xiuzhi, I haven't asked your nephew Jianye if he has started a family," He Yuzhu suddenly asked Li Xiuzhi.

"No, I'm 20 years old this year, but I'm so poor that I can't even afford food. Who would think of getting married? Why do you ask this?" Li Xiuzhi looked at her man strangely.

"Didn't you say that you wanted him to support the two elderly people? Since I, as his uncle, am left behind, I have to worry about his family and career."

"What do you think of Qin Jingru? I've learned about her situation. She's good at managing her life and she's not bad looking. I heard she's not married yet," He Yuzhu told Li Xiuzhi about Qin Jingru's situation.

Of course, the most important thing in his mind was that Qin Jingru was very obedient and would not always side with her parents' family. In the original drama, Xu Damao asked him to ignore Qin Huairu and she obediently ignored Qin Huairu's family.

"Why do you want to know about a grown girl's situation? What do you think?" Li Xiuzhi's attention began to shift as she listened to He Yuzhu's description. She stretched out her fingers and twisted He Yuzhu's waist.

"Hey, wife, listen to me," He Yuzhu jumped up when he was suddenly attacked by Li Xiuzhi.

After that, the couple started fighting, and the final result, of course, was that they ended up fighting on the bed, and the fight ended only when He Yuzhu completely subdued them.

Lying on He Yuzhu's chest, Li Xiuzhi thought about the question just now: "Boss, is what you said reliable? She won't be the same as Qin Huairu. Our family dare not marry a woman like that."

Li Xiuzhi thought about Qin Huairu's performance in this courtyard over the years, and listened to the descriptions of the aunts and sisters in the finance office after she went to work in the steel mill.

Qin Huairu's private life is so shameful. If Qin Jingru is like her cousin, I will regret introducing her to my nephew.

"Don't worry, Qin Jingru and her cousin Qin Huairu are two different people. Besides, there is no rush for this matter. Let Jianye and your parents rest for a while."

"I just arrived in the city, so I'll go around and look around first. After I arrange the work at Jianye, I'll find a matchmaker to talk about this matter." He Yuzhu told Li Xiuzhi his idea.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you and wait until there's some progress. I'll talk to my parents," Li Xiuzhi stroked He Yuzhu's chest and nodded.

But He Yuzhu was intrigued by him, so the two of them took advantage of the child's sleep and started working again.

Early the next morning,

Arriving at the steel mill, He Yuzhu went straight to Li Huaide's office.

"Director, thank you very much. My wife is so touched," He Yuzhu said sincerely as he looked at Li Huaide who was sitting on the chair.

"You are being polite. To be honest, I didn't go there on purpose to pick it up. Our factory just happened to have a batch of goods shipped to my brother-in-law's hometown."

"I just asked someone about it, and I didn't expect that they actually brought his parents here," Li Huaide waved his hand to tell He Yuzhu not to take it to heart.

"Is it okay to transfer people from my wife's hometown? Don't cause any more trouble for you, the factory director." He Yuzhu really didn't want to cause any trouble for Li Huaide.

"I'm a factory director of such a high position, there won't be any trouble in transferring two people here. I even issued letters of certification for the drivers when I sent them. It's up to you to decide when you want to go back." Li Huaide didn't take this matter to heart.

For a factory director of a steel rolling mill in Sijiucheng, transferring people from the countryside was just a matter of a word. Even if it was a bit of trouble, he thought it was worth it if it was to help He Yuzhu.
