My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1323 The Child's Den
After the sleet, the weather began to clear up.

Before they knew it, it was the 29th. Zhang Yi had been with her at the postpartum care center for several days, but her younger sister, Xiao Zishan, was also getting tired of staying there. So, Zhang Yi had no choice but to drive her back herself.

Don't even mention how annoying Xiao Zishan is.

Even she found it annoying.

It's true... She's been staying at the postpartum care center for over ten days, but her daughter still hasn't shown any signs of labor.

Zhang You's house was particularly lively today. In addition to his little apprentice Li Ran, the two sisters Zhong Xia and Zhong Xue were also there, as well as Bai Xiaoxiao, Zhong Xia's roommate.

In addition, there are two other very small ones.

There were seven or eight girls, including the eldest and youngest. When they saw that their eldest sister was also there, Xiao Zishan entered the courtyard and started playing with the girls.

To welcome the New Year, Zhang You's family bought a lot of firecrackers, including some small firecrackers that would make a "pop" sound when dropped on the ground. At that moment, Li Ran deliberately took one of these firecrackers and threw it near her senior sister Zhong Xia's feet. When Zhong Xia turned around, Li Ran seemed afraid that her senior sister would beat her up, so she turned around and ran away.

Meanwhile, the girl named Bai Xiaoxiao was chatting with Zhang You.

Zhang Yi knew this girl. Last summer, Zhang You had put her in an internship in the company's business department. Right after the winter break started, Zhang You had also put her in an internship there, mainly because he knew that Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn't be going home for the Chinese New Year this year.

This girl's home is in a very remote area.

It would take two or three days to go back and forth, but that was secondary. With modern transportation, even in remote areas, you can get home quickly if you're willing to spend the money. The key point was that this girl wanted to use her winter and summer vacations to earn tuition fees.

For a girl like her, it's already quite an achievement to leave her remote hometown. But leaving is only the first step; the rest is still very difficult. The support from her family is very limited, and she may even need to send money back home every now and then.

Judging from the girl's clothes and appearance today, she seems to be doing quite well. But that's normal; after all, she's interning at Tianyu Entertainment's business department. With such high net profits this year, even as an intern... Zhang Yi believes that given Zhang You's status, the company certainly won't treat her with the salary and benefits of an intern.

Seeing her best friend come out carrying a child, Zhang Yi smiled and walked over to take the child from her arms.

"What did you draw!?"

While watching the children in the yard, Zhang You chatted casually with Bai Xiaoxiao.

Because "Crazy Stone" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Future Boys' album "Youth Supreme" will also be released, several departments of Tianyu Entertainment will not have a holiday this year, but the business department is not included.

This department started its holiday yesterday, but the holiday is only five days.

Zhang You brought Zhongxia and Zhongxue to live with him a couple of days ago. He had never been to Zhongxia's house before, and when he finally did... he was almost shocked. The two girls' house was old and dilapidated, and it was at risk of collapsing.

This is normal, though. The two girls lost their parents at a young age, and their grandparents raised them and sent them to school. To put it bluntly, they had exhausted all their strength, so where would they find the money to renovate the house?

He's not some retired senior official.

If he were truly a retired senior cadre, Zhongxia would never have thought of dropping out of school to work in a foot care shop to earn money to support his younger sister's education; they were both children from poor families.

After their grandparents passed away, the two girls were even less able to renovate the house. They heard that even their status as recipients of minimum living allowances had been revoked, but Zhang You didn't go to the village committee to inquire about the specific reasons.

It's nothing more than that trivial matter.

Seeing that the two girls' families were weak and easy to bully, they gave the welfare benefits that originally belonged to them to their relatives. Not to mention here, this kind of thing is not unusual even on Earth.

It was only because he appeared early, and because this girl wasn't pretty, and she also met Xia Zhi Qiu, that she might have gone astray.

Life is sometimes like this. Even a very good and kind child, when faced with a crossroads that will determine their future, may feel lost because of their young age. If they encounter a bad person at this time, their entire life can be ruined.

After seeing the situation at Zhongxia's house, Zhang You told the two girls to pack up their valuables. He said that Zhongxue could stay at his house during holidays, and as for Zhongxia... her room had always been reserved for her, but she just didn't want to come over during her holidays.

It seems that the area around Zhongxia's house is going to be demolished. But even if it is demolished, given the size of the two girls' houses, the compensation won't be much. The village committee also has Zhongxia's phone number, so if the demolition is really necessary, she and Bai Xiaoxiao can ask for leave to go back and handle the relevant procedures.

Even if they bully someone... they can't possibly seize their relocation compensation or the house they might get! If they really do that, Zhang You will have to personally talk to certain people about it.

"I won a double-door refrigerator."

Bai Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

She was indeed very happy this year because, although she was just an intern and didn't participate in the negotiation team for the copyright fee of "The Voice of China" produced by Master Zhongxia, she still received a bonus of 50,000 yuan when Teacher Zhang distributed the bonus to the business department.

When she heard that she had actually had so much time, she could hardly believe it.

A few days ago, at the company's year-end party, she had average luck and only won a double-door refrigerator worth about 20,000 yuan. Just then, her mentor bought a new house and had just finished renovating it... Actually, Bai Xiaoxiao could tell that her mentor noticed that she was short of money and had nowhere to put it while living at school, so he bought it from her.

If we really want to buy one... most people don't need such an expensive refrigerator.

A few thousand is enough.

But her master still bought it, and since he was so good to her, Bai Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't say she'd ask for a thousand or two less. She asked for fifteen thousand, but her master wouldn't allow it. In the end, she insisted and that's how it was settled.

Anyway, since she met Zhongxia, although she has encountered some bad people, most of the people she has met have been very nice, which is very different from the people in her hometown.

The people in her hometown all seem friendly to her face, but when it comes to the slightest bit of profit, they all lose all sense of shame. To put it bluntly, for a few measly coins, the hatred they show is so intense that they seem ready to kill.

It's different here; many people simply don't care about that.

Even though there may be some indifference, the indifference shown is all because they don't want to get involved in right and wrong. If they really encounter something... once people feel that you are not a bad person, most of them will help you within their ability.

So last year was indeed a year of great success for her.

Not only did it cover his own tuition and living expenses, but he also sent 50,000 yuan home.

"Your luck is a bit off."

Zhang You commented with a smile.

"That's good enough."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Zhongxia and chuckled, "If I hadn't met Zhongxia, I might still be stuck in my school dormitory eating steamed buns right now!"

Zhang You couldn't help but think more highly of this girl.

This girl is indeed quite different from other girls her age.

Stay alert at all times.
