Du Yongi turned her head to look at Xu Wencheng, who was lying beside her, handing the final decision to him.
"Let’s have the baby! One must have accumulated a lot of blessings in their past life to be born into our family in this life."
"No matter what, it’s a life, and we can’t do anything morally wrong."
"After we go back this ti, I’ll work harder to earn money and stop going fishing."
"I can drive for a ride-hailing service after work and on weekends, and it’s not too difficult to earn an extra two to three thousand a month."
After careful consideration, Xu Wencheng finally decided to keep the child!
He also had a subtle sense of anticipation in his heart.
What if...
What if this child is a boy?
All these years, although Xu Wencheng always said boys and girls were the sa.
He was very good to his two daughters.
But every ti he attended soone else’s son’s wedding, he couldn’t help but feel envious inside.
The Chinese idea of passing on the family line is deeply rooted.
Xu Wencheng and Du Yongi naturally couldn’t escape it.
"Old Xu..."
Du Yongi reached out and touched Xu Wencheng’s now not-so-smooth old face.
Her palm rubbed his significantly grayed hair, her gaze was very complex.
Psychologically, she also really wanted this child.
But thinking about the cost of raising this child in the future made her feel sorry for her Old Xu.
"Our family’s conditions are much better now than when we had Lili and Sasha, aren’t they?"
"No problem, you just focus on taking care of the pregnancy, making money is a man’s job."
After making the decision, Xu Wencheng no longer hesitated, regaining his composure and calm.
Du Yongi touched her belly and laughed, "Old Xu, I feel like this ti it’s a son."
"Haha, boy or girl, they’re both our children."
"Heavens willing, if it’s really a son, Lili and Sasha will have a brother."
"..."
The old couple chatted intermittently until two or three in the morning before falling asleep.
...
Early the next morning.
When Jiang Tao woke up, Xu Li and her mom had already made breakfast.
Although the family’s financial situation was much better than before.
The breakfast hadn’t changed much from the past.
Millet and pumpkin porridge, with a plate of Eight Treasure Pickles from their own food factory and mom’s stead at buns.
A simple breakfast, nutritious and healthy.
After breakfast, dad and mom went out to the food factory to work.
After Xu Li put the dishes into the dishwasher in the kitchen, Jiang Tao finally pulled her to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Wife, I want to discuss sothing with you."
"What’s up? So mysterious."
Xu Li looked curiously at Jiang Tao with her big eyes.
"Here’s the thing, wife, I’m planning..."
Jiang Tao explained his plan to start an MCN company to Xu Li.
Seeing his confident look, Xu Li naturally expressed her full support.
"Doesn’t your dad like fishing? I plan to sign him up too."
"Huh? Sign my dad as a host?"
"Yes, the fishing field is also promising, like Celestial Essence’s Deng Xiaogang, who has more than 30 million fans, and many fishern with fans in the millions."
"Your dad has decades of fishing experience, with a bit of packaging, he can start quickly."
"And so, your dad and Sasha can stay working in Beijing, just let them continue living in building 62."
"We live in the sa community, so it’s convenient for you to visit and take care of your mom."
Jiang Tao’s words moved Xu Li deeply again.
There really aren’t many sons-in-law who consider their in-laws like him!
"Thank you, husband, thank you for everything you’ve done for our family."
Xu Li wrapped her arms around Jiang Tao’s neck, full of emotion, and gave him a long, sweet kiss.
At 9 am.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li arrived at the door of apartnt 1504 in building 62 and knocked on the door.
"Lili, Jiang Tao, co in, co in."
Opening the door and seeing her elder daughter and son-in-law, Du Yongi happily invited them in.
"Mom, didn’t you sleep well last night? Why do you look a bit haggard?"
As soon as Xu Li entered, she noticed her mom’s slightly tired face and asked with concern.
Du Yongi smiled, "Aren’t we going ho? I’m a bit reluctant to leave you and your sister."
Xu Li cheerfully hugged her mom’s waist and coyly said:
"Hehe, if you can’t bear to leave Sasha and , then don’t go back, stay in Beijing."
Du Yongi laughed, "Your dad can’t cook or do laundry, how can he manage alone?"
"That’s easy, let my dad stay too~"
After saying that, Xu Li looked at her dad, who had just gotten up from the sofa to greet them.
Du Yongi laughed, "Your dad still has to work to earn money, the burden of supporting the family is great."
"That’s easy, let my dad work here in Beijing too? My husband is here today to recruit."
Hearing Xu Li’s words, both Du Yongi and Xu Wencheng froze, looking at Jiang Tao in amazent.
"Dad, I’m planning to start an MCN company and sign up so hosts to build accounts."
"Dad, don’t you like fishing? And you have rich fishing experience."
"With a little packaging, it shouldn’t be hard to start an account."
Jiang Tao didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose to his father-in-law.
"I...I just play around, can I really do it?"
Xu Wencheng, who loves fishing, also follows a dozen fishing hosts on his short video account.
Seeing others fishing and receiving countless gifts, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
He tried live streaming before.
But every live session barely had ten people joining in and out.
There were few who even clicked the free likes, let alone gave gifts.
He thought his skills weren’t much worse than those hosts.
But he just couldn’t gain viewership while streaming.
After several tries, he gave up on that idea.
After all, there are countless fishern out there.
But the famous ones, just a few.
In any field, the famous are few, while the unknown are the majority.
Now, with Jiang Tao bringing it up again.
Xu Wencheng was sowhat tempted, but also filled with apprehension inside.
On one hand, he’s been with his "iron rice bowl" job for decades.
On the other, a "uncertain future" new job.
What if he quits and the streaming doesn’t work out, what would he do?
Old Xu is a dignified person, and doesn’t want to trouble his son-in-law.
Xu Li, smiling on the side, encouraged:
"Dad’s skills with my husband’s company’s operation will be great!"
"Lili is right, your skills are up to par, what’s lacking is professional operation."
"Coincidentally, I have a classmate who’s in this field, and I’ve signed him on to the company."
"Once you join, you won’t have to worry about anything, just focus on fishing every day."
"There are professional people to handle filming, video editing, and account operation."
Jiang Tao’s words moved Xu Wencheng a bit more.
But thinking about his more than thirty years of seniority in the company and his current salary and benefits...
In a small county like Ping County, a job with social insurance, housing fund, and over ten thousand a month is hard to find.
He enjoyed this due to joining early and his long seniority, which allowed him to receive his current salary and benefits.
With his qualifications, after leaving, he wouldn’t be able to find a job with the sa pay.
"As for salary, I’ll first give you a three-thousand monthly base."
Noticing the hesitation in his father-in-law’s deanor, Jiang Tao directly gave his "trump card."
This offer was hard for his father-in-law to refuse.
As expected.
Hearing Jiang Tao’s salary offer, both Xu Wencheng, Du Yongi, and Xu Sha, who just opened the door and ca out, were stunned.
"How...how much?"
Xu Wencheng looked at Jiang Tao in disbelief, asking again.
He thought he must have misheard!
A salary of thirty thousand a month??
Xu Wencheng never dread that he could earn a monthly salary of thirty thousand in his life!
Given his level, how could he earn such a high salary!
"Three thousand minimum, after deducting social insurance and housing fund, you’d take ho about twenty thousand."
Jiang Tao’s voice wasn’t loud, but to the people of the Xu family, it sounded thunderous.
