Chapter 499: Big Sister Hu Haiyun, the goods dumper
Although Gu Hongwei was not married, he believed that if he were, he would certainly strive to provide a good life for his wife, given his capability.
In his opinion, a woman being willing to bear children for him was an arduous and great deed. Several of his childhood companions lost their mothers in childbirth. So the saying "childbirth is like walking through the Ghost Gate" was by no means an exaggeration.
Pregnancy alone was incredibly hard, not to mention the risks involved in childbirth. Bringing up a child was also a great expenditure of energy and strength. All these hardships were borne by women. Therefore, in his eyes, no matter how successful a man was, if he failed to treat his child’s mother well, he would not be considered a responsible person.
Tong Yao nodded, "Let’s see when we get to Li City! Maybe it’s just a false alarm."
Even though she deeply wished to have a child, she also worried that it might be a vain hope.
As soon as the thought arose, she again couldn’t control a wave of dry heaving, which was more severe this time around. Despite retching for a while, she didn’t vomit up anything.
In any case, she couldn’t bear to think of the woman in the nearby compartment, otherwise she would lose control. She could only sit there, not daring to enter the compartment to lie down.
Gu Hongwei was also sitting there the whole time. They idled away the time chatting about the situation in Li City. Suddenly, Tong Yao seemed to remember something and said, "I think the woman in the adjacent compartment is also in the reselling business. She has brought along a lot of goods, all clothes."
As she climbed onto her bed, she had bumped into burlap sacks. They felt soft, so they must have been filled with clothes.
"Reselling clothes from Kyoto in other places?" Gu Hongwei wondered, "Clothes from Kyoto are expensive. It doesn’t seem like a good deal to resell them. Although the designs of Kyoto clothes can be quite innovative, many people in remote cities may not be able to accept them, not to mention the price issue, which makes selling quite problematic."
