Chapter 40: The Best Is Yet to Come
Du Zhiqiang, the loader from the textile factory who caught eyes with Yan Xiaomai.
It turns out that the man did not leave the mother and son to live in that rundown house but built a shed next to it.
However, the work at the textile factory is on three shifts, so he can’t guard them day and night.
Tian Xiang: "You can dodge the first day of the lunar month, but not the fifteenth. The way you three are going, something’s bound to happen sooner or later. If not you then it’s going to be him with Huang Wenbiao, or perhaps, your son might also be affected. Have you thought about these things?"
Yan Xiaomai nodded with tears, "I’ve told him not to care about me, but he insists on..."
Since Huang Hongyun slit his wrist in the Du Family yard, Yan Xiaomai knew that marrying another would be difficult.
Tian Xiang: "If he can do this for you, it means he’s committed. How can you bear to refuse him?"
Yan Xiaomai covered her face and cried, "What can I do? I don’t want to hold him back either!"
Beside her, Huang Qidong saw his mother crying, and the candy in his mouth lost its sweetness. First, he was a bit puzzled, and then his eyes gradually turned red.
Tian Xiang: "You’re not holding him back as long as you respond to his feelings for you."
