Recently, the loading and unloading team where Zhang Meng is in has leaked the news because of the failure of his investment by his boss, Manager Wang. Half a month ago, Wang Xiaojiang took advantage of the situation and started a new job and took away more than ten loading and unloading teams. Now it is the peak loading and unloading season, so Zhang Meng and the remaining seven or eight people have to work overload every day. In the past ten days, Zhang Meng has lost a lot of weight due to overwork and lack of sleep, and his face has become much haggard...

"Honey, I'm back..." Du Qiao turned around and looked at Zhang Meng who had just lying down.

"Have you eaten the ribs left in the kitchen?"

"Well, I've eaten... it's getting late, hurry up and go to bed. I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow..."

Du Qiao turned around and touched the phone placed on the bedside table to look at the time—23:45.

Recently, Zhang Meng has come back very late every day, and his face is exhausted, his body has become much thinner, and he is completely out of shape. He is not in a plastic factory, no matter how busy he is, he can't make people like this. The more Du Qiao thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong, especially when he sees Zhang Meng's increasingly rough hands, Du Qiao feels very distressed. She feels more and more that Zhang Meng must have something to hide from her. Now this family is all supported by Zhang Meng. If he collapses, the sky will really fall. Du Qiao becomes more and more uneasy. She secretly decides to figure it out in her heart. If the factory is so hard, I will persuade Zhang Meng to change jobs. After all, for Du Qiao, her man is more healthy than anything else...

The next morning, after Zhang Meng went out to work, Du Qiao followed him and took a taxi to Dingli before Zhang Meng. Du Qiao was afraid of being seen by Chen Ao and Liu Ran, so she hid far behind the green trees that were crossed fifty or sixty meters away from the factory gate. At this location, you can clearly see the people entering and exiting the factory gate.

About fifteen or sixteen minutes later, Zhang Meng, who was riding a bicycle, turned from the intersection in front and appeared in Du Qiao's sight. Du Qiao stared at Zhang Meng until he watched him enter the factory gate without even blinking.

"Is it because I'm overthinking?" Du Qiao muttered in her heart.

After about five or six minutes, Du Qiao walked out. She seemed to be unwilling to give up, so she walked slowly to the guard room at the entrance of the factory with her big belly and started inquiring.

"Hello, hello master." Du Qiao walked to the window of the guard room and raised her hand and gently knocked on the glass.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" A young man in uniform walked out of the guard room and stood in the iron railing at the gate, looking up and down at the pregnant woman with a big belly outside the door.

"Hello brother, I want to ask, do we have to work overtime every day until very late to get off work?"

"What? Working overtime?" When the young man heard Du Qiao's inexplicable words, he couldn't help but say a dialect in his hometown.

"Well, right, don't you often work overtime during the day?"

"Sister, who did you hear this? We..." The young man responded to Du Qiao with a smile, and then seemed to understand something and stopped.

"Brother, why do you still say half of it and leave half of it?"

"No, sister, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs. I sympathize with you in your current situation. Really, but this is the matter of you couple after all. I, an outsider, don't speak much. If I don't say it well, add fuel to you, will I become a sinner? Yes." The young man took it for granted and said a lot of truths and turned around and entered the guard room. No matter how Du Qiao shouted, he didn't dare to look at Du Qiao.

"This person is really inexplicable..." Du Qiao had no choice but to give up. Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is really you. Why are you here?"

"Liu Ran... Well, I'm fine. I'm bored and I'm here to send your brother to work."

"Sister-in-law, you're like this, so try not to go out."

"Uh, it's okay, the activities are good, why are you here so late? You're late."

"It's okay, it won't be a little late."

"Then don't talk to me anymore, hurry up and go in. I'm so unmoved to go to work."

"Okay, then I'll go in. Sister-in-law, please wait a little slow when you go back and be careful."

"I understand, you go quickly... Alas, Liu Ran..." Du Qiao suddenly remembered something and called Liu Ran who was walking in.

"You have something to do, sister-in-law?"

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just... You'll see your brother later, don't say you've seen me..." Du Qiao's voice became less and less, and Liu Ran didn't hear it clearly and could only come over again.

"Ah? Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

"I said, don't tell your brother about my coming to the factory."

"Sister-in-law, didn't you just say you sent my brother here? Why..."

"What do you do for so much for a little kid? Do you listen to your sister-in-law's words?"

"Okay okay, I understand. When I see my brother later, I will not say anything... Then there is nothing to do, I will go in and my sister-in-law."

"Go and go." Du Qiao waved her hand to Liu Ran with a smile and turned around and left.

"Brother Liu, why are you late every day?" The young guard took Liu Ran and handed over the cigarette.

"There is no such thing as every day. I'm counting on your duty today, and I'm deliberately late to chat with you."

"Brother, don't coax me, just go in while my master hasn't come yet."

"Don't worry, don't worry, brother, I'll ask you something, did the woman come with my buddy just now... the one who is very tall, strong, dark, and doesn't like to talk."

"No, she came here by herself. She just asked me if we work overtime very late every day... I tell you, look at her belly, I guess her man must be unable to wait, so she went out to find another meal ticket, so she used the excuse of working overtime very late every day..."

"Go to your uncle, what are you talking nonsense... She asked you how did you answer this?"

"How dare I talk nonsense? If you say something wrong, you will get angry. I haven't seen it in my hometown before, so I didn't join in. I let her go without saying anything."

"I can't tell, you kid are not old and have a lot of thoughts." Liu Ran repeatedly pondered Du Qiaolai's intention, and suddenly his eyes lit up and rushed outward.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait a moment"

Du Qiao just stepped onto the bus with one foot and turned her head to see Liu Ran running towards her, getting off the bus with a puzzled look on her face.

"Liu Ran, what's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, are you following my brother?" Liu Ran knew Du Qiao's intention, so he didn't go around and went straight to the point. He knew in his heart that if he wanted Zhang Meng to withdraw from the loading and unloading team, only Du Qiao could do it. As long as Zhang Meng retreated, he would have a way to convince Zhang Meng to take his brothers to start a new job.

"What are you talking nonsense! Me, what am I following him?"

"Don't hide it from me, sister-in-law... sister-in-law, we all want my brother to be well. We are in the same camp. Tell me what you have."

Du Qiao looked at Liu Ran's extremely sincere eyes and couldn't help but express her suspicion.

"Sister-in-law, you guessed it right, my brother... Let's do it, sister-in-law, you go to Haitian Logistics Park next to Nanguan Ring Island to find my brother after 5 pm. You will definitely be able to find him. I can only tell you so much. If you find him in the afternoon, you will understand everything else. I will leave first." After Liu Ran said that, he turned around and ran towards the factory.

"Haitian Logistics Park? What did he do there?" Du Qiao murmured in her heart and turned around and sat in the seat at the bus stop.
