The next day, Ye Fangfei handed over the remaining three pieces of clothing to Yao Feixue. With a grateful look in her eyes, Yao Feixue accepted the seventy or eighty yuan. Now, everyone was truly happy.
Yao Feixue was delighted that she could sell the clothes to a few cousins and recoup her own expenses. Ye Fangfei was pleased as well; she had managed to sell the clothes without taking any risks and even made over twenty yuan in profit.
Yesterday, Ye Fangfei had deliberately said that to Yao Feixue. After all, if she hadn’t, it would have seemed like she was trying to sell the clothes to her directly. Of course, she did have that intention, but it couldn’t be too obvious, could it? So, she pretended to decline a bit, saying that Tang Zhicheng had other clients.
However, this wasn’t a lie; Tang Zhicheng indeed had connections, and there was no shortage of buyers for the clothes. If sold on the black market, they could fetch at least twenty more yuan. She hadn’t misled Yao Feixue at all. It was just that going to the black market carried risks, unlike now where she could sell the clothes without any worries.
Although she earned less compared to selling on the black market, at least she didn’t have to be anxious about it.
“Alright, let’s hurry up; otherwise, we’ll be late,” Yao Feixue said as she came over before heading to work in the morning.
“Sure! I’ll go ask for leave and drop these off with my cousins. I’ll show off a bit too,” Yao Feixue thought about how she could trick a few of her cousins out of their money and felt quite pleased.
It was no wonder Yao Feixue felt this way; ever since marrying Ji Weijun, her cousins had been teasing her every time they met. Although she felt aggrieved inside, there was nothing she could do—she couldn’t just cut ties with them.
She realized that she had been too naive initially, thinking love would suffice for a fulfilling life. It wasn’t until she married that she understood love alone wasn’t enough to sustain a household. While she didn’t regret her decision, the stark contrast between her life at her parents' home and her in-laws' made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Moreover, those teasing remarks from her cousins sometimes left her feeling unhappy. But these were her private thoughts; there was no need to share them with others.
The two arrived at the goods building where Ye Fangfei went off to work while Yao Feixue sought leave from her team leader. Days passed in an orderly manner until it was almost time for Ye Fangfei to give birth.
“Feifei, hang in there; I’ll go call the doctor,” Yao Feixue said as Ye Fangfei had already checked into the hospital a couple of days earlier, fearing that things might get chaotic when the time came.
Tang Zhicheng also took leave to care for her at the hospital. It was nice that their home was far from the in-laws, but when there were matters to attend to, there was no one to lend a hand. Now that Ye Fangfei was about to give birth, everything fell on Tang Zhicheng.
Fortunately, Hao Chunying would bring them meals these days, and she, as the grandmother, had prepared the baby's things. However, when it came to this, Tang Zhicheng felt an indescribable disappointment towards Old Lady Tang. When Ye Fangfei became pregnant, he wrote a letter to his hometown to share the good news. His parents were indeed happy in their reply, but they showed no sign of support.
His mother even mentioned in her letter that she knew they didn’t lack fabric, so she wouldn’t prepare a small quilt or clothes for the baby. After reading the letter, although his wife didn’t say anything, he felt quite embarrassed. It wasn’t that he lacked those things from his mother; even if she sent just a piece of cloth for a diaper, it would still be her intention, wouldn’t it? But she didn’t give him any face at all.
Not long ago, his mother sent another letter saying she would come to take care of his wife during her confinement. After discussing it with his wife, he ultimately wrote back to refuse. His wife was worried about not getting along with his mother; with the distance between them now, it wasn’t apparent. However, if they lived together for an extended period, conflicts would naturally arise.
