After confirming that Zhang Yu was safe, Zhao Zihao was moved and held his hand affectionately, "Thank you so much, brother. I want to express my deep gratitude to you on your behalf."

Confused about this, Zhang Yu asked, "Why didn't your sister-in-law come with you this time?" Zhao Zihao's expression darkened, "Hey, my wife suddenly felt unwell last night, and she vomited blood on the way to the hospital. I was scared. After sending her there, fortunately her condition has stabilized temporarily. However, the doctor said that surgery must be performed immediately."

Unexpectedly, Niu Meili's condition worsened in the past few days. Zhang Yu was extremely worried: "How is the preparation for the operation going?" Hearing this, Zhao Zihao smiled bitterly and said: "We are a non-official organization, and we have to pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan in advance. For you, this is a considerable expense." Zhang Yu understood the other party's predicament and decided to help: "I will lend you this 20,000 yuan. I will pay you back every penny after selling the TV."

Zhao Zihao took the money from Zhang Yu with tears in his eyes and expressed his respect to him: "As long as you can save Meili, my family will always remember this great kindness." Zhang Yu comforted him: "Saving lives comes first, take your wife to pay the bill and arrange the surgery." Zhao Zihao nodded resolutely and held the cash tightly: "This money will be regarded as our joint investment. Once the TV is sold, I will pay you back the principal and interest together."

The cost of TVs imported from Japan is about 250 yuan each, and the market price may be double or even higher. With the logistics and formalities, this transaction will make Zhang Yu a huge profit. But he reminded Zhao Zihao, "Now is not the time to talk about interests. Your wife's health is the first priority. Wait until she is stable before talking about picking up the goods." After saying that, he urged him to leave.

Hearing this, Zhao Zihao rushed to the hospital. As Zhao Zihao disappeared, Zhang Yu shook his head and went back to the room. He found He Yushui lowering her head to coax the child, her eyes fixed on Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu asked, "Is the child not sleeping?"

However, He Yushui's tone was as cold as ice, "Where did the 20,000 yuan come from?" Zhang Yu hesitated and said awkwardly, "You should have heard it too, right?"

He Yushui's expression became serious. "I paid all your salary to the family, and you only have a little pocket money left. Where did this money come from?" She was full of doubts about Zhang Yu's behavior. He tried to explain with a smile: "I went out for some business and bought special agricultural products in the countryside." But she didn't completely believe it. "What kind of agricultural products can make you earn 20,000 yuan? Don't forget, I'm an accountant, and your excuse is not valid."

Zhang Yu insisted: "These rural products are in great demand in the city. For example, it is common for the price of wild-flavored foods in some places to increase several times." But He Yushui's stern eyes were full of opposition: "That is illegal speculation. How dare you take the risk?"

Facing the questioning of others, Zhang Yu explained: "I just handed the goods to Zhao Zihao. I was just helping out. There won't be any collateral damage." However, He Yushui still said firmly: "No, you have to consider me and the children. Although we live a comfortable life, there is no need to take risks. Safety comes first." It is not difficult to see that she is very cautious in their living arrangements.

"Okay, I really promised not to do this again. It's all for our safety," Zhang Yu tried to ease the tension.

Unfortunately, his tone was too frivolous. He Yushui looked at him sideways and said, "Tell me, how much private money have you hidden away and not told the truth?"

"It was only 20,000 yuan, and I lent it all to Zhao Zihao," Zhang Yu answered firmly.

"I don't trust you. From now on, your salary will have to be handed over to me," He Yushui insisted on managing his income.

"Honey, please leave me some pocket money. I need it for daily expenses," Zhang Yu pleaded.

In response to her spontaneous request, He Yushui turned away from the child and turned his back to Zhang Yu: "If you have the ability, go and earn it yourself!"

Zhang Yu took advantage of the situation and climbed onto the bed, hugging He Yushui from behind. "Baby, they say that they miss each other especially after they are apart. Have you missed me during this period?" His words were full of teasing, and his dishonest hands tentatively touched her clothes.

He Yushui suddenly became alert: "The child is still in the room!"

Zhang Yu pulled the quilt over the couple. However, as they were preparing for the moment, Li Shufen knocked on the door. The moment the door rang, Zhang Yu and He Yushui's passion cooled down.

"Who is it?" Zhang Yu responded anxiously.

"Can you come over here? I need your help with something small," Li Shufen said through the door, which made Zhang Yu feel a little disappointed. He Yushui patted his shoulder and said, "Go and see if your godmother needs you."

"Do you need to go and take care of your godmother? She might really need it," she reminded.

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Yu had to get out of bed and open the door: "Godmother, what happened? Do you need my help?"

When looking around the room, Li Shufen paid special attention to He Yushui who was resting on the bed. She said in a deep voice: "The toilet in the bathroom seems to be clogged. I can't open it."

"How come the new toilet is clogged again?" Zhang Yu complained, then walked out of the room and closed the door.

Li Shufen grabbed his hand and quickly walked through the corridor to the toilet. "I just found an excuse to ask you to come. The toilet is not blocked, I just lied to you," she let go of his hand in the yard and further explained: "I may not have done it well when I was young, and some topics may touch her sensitive points, so I have to tell you in advance."

Zhang Yu looked at Li Shufen, who looked serious, with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Godmother, just tell me directly. If I did anything wrong, please tell me clearly." He said sincerely.

"During the postpartum recovery period, you should try to avoid sex. Yu Shui's body is still in a state of reconstruction and you cannot increase the risk of an unexpected pregnancy," Li Shufen said seriously. This information shocked Zhang Yu. He never expected to hear such an admonition. After all, after a long period of lack of intimacy, his desire was indeed suppressed.

Zhang Yu used to be able to resist loneliness, but after marriage, his self-control is obviously not as good as before. "I know, godmother, I will remember it," his eyes dimmed, showing his misunderstanding of his own mistakes.

Next, Li Shufen walked up to Zhang Yu holding a bowl of fish soup and said, "I'll give it to her. Remember to send it over."

After returning to the bedroom with the stewed fish, Zhang Yu's attitude towards his wife suddenly changed, becoming extremely meticulous and cautious. Since then, he has devoted himself to his work and frequently visited Zhao Zihao and Niu Meili's families.

At this time, although Niu Meili had completed the operation and was recovering in the hospital, the doctor insisted on keeping her in the hospital for a long time to recover and treat because the technology of gastrectomy was not perfect in 1974. Fortunately, the large number of televisions launched by Zhang Yu were hot sales and were warmly welcomed by the people.

These TV sets smuggled from Japan are comparable to imported brands in terms of quality and price, and can be purchased without the need to purchase specific TV coupons, thus attracting the attention of many potential consumers. China's electronics industry is still in its infancy, and domestically produced TV sets are far inferior to Japanese products in terms of performance and quality, with a significant gap.

Although the obsolete version of Fluorescent Country equipment in Zhao Zihao's hands has been replaced by a newer model, it is still highly praised for its good stability and few faults. When authentic Fluorescent Country TVs are imported into China, they are usually old models. In the mall, Zhang Yu once learned that the price of similar models after import has reached 1978 yuan, and this price includes taxes and fees. He also remembers that with the implementation of reform and opening up in , the number of Fluorescent Country products gradually increased, gradually replacing imports.
