Zhou Qing felt a bit uneasy, and similar scenes instantly popped up in his mind.
For instance, his colleagues at the company...
As they kept drinking, wouldn't Mayor Zhou simply pass out later?
Then he would collapse onto the sofa beside them and fall into a deep sleep.
"This...isn't good, right?" Zhou Qing hesitated somewhat.
At that moment, Liu Yaqing also said, "What's so bad about that? You must drink some. In the official circles with all the coming and going, cigarettes and alcohol are unavoidable. Xiao Qing, when you work with Weining in the future, being able to cover for him in drinking is a skill you must possess."
Seeing Liu Yaqing like this, Zhou Qing was a bit stunned. It was difficult to align this with the image of the watchful night, "Is this woman really so changeable?"
Weining followed up, saying, "You see, since your sister-in-law has said so, not drinking is definitely not an option. Just drink a little, just enough."
Zhou Qing steeled his heart and didn't care about these anymore. Smiling, he said, "If the boss and sister-in-law have both said so, then I definitely must drink."
Liu Yaqing smiled and said, "Why call me boss? Just call me Brother Ning. Weining has been talking about you these past few days; my ears are almost forming calluses."
Zhou Weining also said to Zhou Qing, "Yaqing is right, just call me Brother Ning."
Zhou Qing was very moved and said, "Brother Ning, sister-in-law, thank you."
After pouring the drinks, the three of them clinked glasses, then Zhou Weining started talking about family matters, while Liu Yaqing spoke about some issues related to the Women's Federation.
"This one year at the Women's Federation really opened my eyes. There are cases of domestic violence, cheating, involving both men and women."
Liu Yaqing was very talkative and good at conversation, making things vivid and lifelike as if placing one right at the scene.
It was hard to imagine that such a person could not resist meeting up with an online friend.
Before they knew it, the three of them had finished a bottle. Under Zhou Weining's insistence, another bottle was opened, and Liu Yaqing continued, "The day before yesterday, we from the Women's Federation went to Zaiziling Township. There was an incident that really broadened my horizons. In one village, a female comrade reported to the Women's Federation that her husband and his sister-in-law were having an affair. When we went to investigate, the whole village denied it. Even the husband of the woman who reported it, that man's brother, said it wasn't true. Later, we found out that the man's brother couldn't have children due to health reasons. So, they thought of this method, to have a child by proxy!"
At this, Liu Yaqing looked at Zhou Qing, "Xiao Qing, are such things common in Anzhou County?"
This...
Zhou Qing didn't quite know how to answer.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Anzhou County being a poorer, more backward place, indeed sees some ignorant incidents. However, I believe that with societal development and progress, such situations will gradually be eliminated."
Liu Yaqing laughed, suddenly giving a sense of quivering blossoms, causing Zhou Qing to look away. He was afraid that Liu Yaqing's ample bosom might accidentally be exposed.
"Xiao Qing, I actually think that sometimes, such things can be understandable. Some couples actually have great relationships, but due to one reason or another they can't have children. Neither wants a divorce, yet not having children means no descendants. Using such a method between brothers, although not very nice, actually ends up saving a family. Could the woman really be better off after a divorce? Hardly likely. For the man, having the matter blow up and letting people know he can't conceive is also a mental torture, don't you think?"
Zhou Qing was suddenly stunned, this viewpoint, these thoughts. What did sister-in-law mean by this? Should he say she was conservative, or open-minded?
Zhou Qing awkwardly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, your point makes sense too. Specific situations require specific analyses, and not everything can be generalized."
Zhou Weining also laughed at the side and said, "Haha, exactly. Every matter has two sides. We can't make sweeping generalizations!"
After that, the three of them dropped the subject and talked about other things. Unnoticed, they finished another two bottles of wine, by which time Zhou Weining was already blurred with drunkenness, slumping on the table.
Seeing this, Liu Yaqing looked at Zhou Qing beside her, "Xiao Qing, it looks like I'll need your help to get Weining to the bedroom."
Drunken people are dead heavy, over a hundred pounds, almost entirely reliant on others to help, especially since he wasn't exerting any effort.
Zhou Qing draped one of Zhou Weining's arms over his shoulder, while Liu Yaqing held him on the other side, and together they entered the room. Zhou Qing faintly smelled the bursts of fragrance emanating from Liu Yaqing, unsure of what perfume she was using, but it gave a particularly comfortable and pleasant sensation.
The bedroom featured a very simple furniture style. The bed sheets and duvet cover were all pure white. Liu Yaqing pulled back the covers, and only then did Zhou Qing carefully lay Zhou Weining down.
Looking at Zhou Weining, who had fallen into a deep sleep, then at the enchantingly sexy Liu Yaqing before him, Zhou Qing suddenly felt excited, the scene somewhat familiar to him.
