Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1032 - 1033: The Lonely Village Girl 77

Zhang Yu was unaware that Xiao Qiao’s repair of the radio would have so many follow-ups.

Right now, she had everything packed up, waiting for Xiao Qiao to finish work and go home for dinner together.

Colleagues were envious knowing Xiao Qiao could visit the Zhang Family for dinner today, "How come Xiao Qiao is so lucky."

They, too, had wives and had been in relationships, but they never received such treatment at the Yue family.

Throughout the year, it’s only during New Year’s that they could have a meal there, and that’s only if they’ve been giving gifts for many years.

If the gift is quite ordinary, congratulations, then going to the Yue family at New Year’s is merely a glass of plain boiled water treatment, without even tea leaves.

The instructor overheard their sour comments, "Did you give significant gifts to the Yue family on your first visit?"

"Did you help the Yue family fix things or do household chores?"

"Moreover, are you as good-looking as Xiao Qiao?" The instructor delivered a final soul-crushing blow.

At his words, everyone who had been feeling wronged suddenly quieted down.

They all recalled the gifts they took on their first visit, which was enough to overshadow them.

As for the instructor’s remarks about Xiao Qiao’s handsomeness, they certainly wouldn’t agree.

Men shouldn’t be described as handsome; they should be more manly. "Good thing we’re already married," one married man rejoiced.

With that, all the married men immediately stopped complaining, feeling fortunate they didn’t have to make comparisons.

Not letting girlfriends know what Xiao Qiao did for his girlfriend, feeling like they weren’t sincere enough in pursuing them, could be embarrassing.

Everyone nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that’s the point."

Just like that, by the time Xiao Qiao cycled back to the police station, everyone had either finished work or gone out on patrol; everything had returned to normal.

No worries, as Xiao Qiao’s qualified girlfriend, Zhang Yu, of course, had to inform him about what everyone discussed in his absence.

Xiao Qiao hadn’t expected everyone to be bickering over this.

"Actually, our situations are different; I’m the only child in my family, and you’re the only child in yours."

"Everything is ours. Whatever I give you, I really won’t lose out."

"But they have several brothers; their families can barely prepare so much. Although they earn a salary, it’s not entirely theirs to keep; they have to turn in a portion, so they don’t have much in hand."

"Even if their family is willing, and they prepare a lot for the future Yue family, the other family has several siblings. Of course, they save good stuff for their sons, so how much is left for daughters."

Xiao Qiao understood, "They might just be envious on the surface. Asking them to give heavy gifts to the Yue family, they wouldn’t bear it, nor would their wives."

Zhang Yu thought it made sense, "When we have kids, even if they’re girls, we can’t be so biased."

Zhang Yu knew that girls always have it tough, and it was because Zhang Lina’s health wasn’t good, so she could only have one child, allowing her to enjoy all the family’s love.

Zhang Yu wasn’t sure if she’d have two kids next time, boys or girls, but she needed to prepare Xiao Qiao in advance.

"Whether boy or girl, they’re our children, and we must treat them well."

Xiao Qiao thought for a moment, "If possible, I’d actually hope to treat our daughter better."

Seated on the bike’s rear seat, Zhang Yu was really surprised to hear Xiao Qiao say that. Being able to say gender equality was not easy, let alone favoring their daughter.

Zhang Yu really wanted to see Xiao Qiao’s expression at that moment, wondering if he was just bluffing.

"Boys can be raised a bit rough, it’s okay; boys need more experience to mature faster."

"I’m even thinking, when our son grows up, I’ll send him to the military." The life there is tough, but Xiao Qiao felt boys need to undergo good reform.

Regarding this request, Zhang Yu casually agreed, "I have no issues, as long as the child likes it."

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he likes it." Xiao Qiao was confident, believing the child would propose it himself.

"As for a daughter, the time at home is so limited. Once she starts school, she’ll have classes and friends; after graduation, she might meet a boy and rush to marry him."

"If the other family’s conditions are decent, that’s fine, but if they’re average, the child’s life might be hard."

"What we can do is treat her well before she gets married." Although not yet married or a parent, Xiao Qiao couldn’t help but feel tender toward his future little girl.

"We’ll do our best, aim to get a house, so after she marries, she can live next door. If her husband dares to mistreat her, we’ll rush over immediately."

"No way, they’re living in our house, yet treating our daughter poorly, they must have a death wish."

Xiao Qiao boldly declared, "We must be our daughter’s support."

"And we need to teach our son from a young age to be good to his sister."

"By the way, today the captain asked me to help take a look at his radio." Xiao Qiao smoothly reported that his business had already kicked off.

"Once the captain’s radio is fixed, it’s the director’s and the instructor’s next." Just when Zhang Yu thought Xiao Qiao got one job, she didn’t expect there’d be two more.

Zhang Yu found it curious, "Why are the director’s and the instructor’s radios after?"

"They came later. You wouldn’t believe it, when the captain was patrolling, he saw a neighbor and asked them to notify me. By the afternoon, I had three radios."

Xiao Qiao knew the captain’s execution power was unbeatable; people who’ve been in the military usually are, but this person’s action power was seriously overwhelming.

"The director’s radio won’t be available until tomorrow."

Zhang Yu casually remarked, "You won’t be working overtime tonight, right?"

Xiao Qiao nodded, "Yes, the old captain’s health is poor; he rarely goes out, mainly stays at home listening to the radio."

"Since the radio broke, the old man has been very bored at home." That’s why Xiao Qiao wanted to fix the captain’s radio first.

Zhang Yu kept nodding, "That’s necessary."

During their whole chat, the bike soon arrived at Zhang Yu’s home, and while they pushed the bike into the courtyard, they found the front yard surprisingly quiet.

Zhang Yu paused puzzled, "What’s happening?"

Passing by Old Hao’s house, they found it was dark, and the door was closed. Did they go out?

Upon reflection, it made sense, since their radio was fixed, it wasn’t good news for the Hao Family. Surely, the old couple went to see their daughter and discuss.
