My sister-in-law had surgery this time, so she won't be able to be discharged from the hospital so soon. Lin Shan stayed with her tonight, and everyone else went home.

Children grow up very quickly; they look different every day.

When my sister-in-law was discharged from the hospital seven days later, my niece's skin was no longer wrinkled; it was as white and tender as a peeled egg, and very beautiful.

She has round, bright eyes just like the Lin family members, a mouth and nose like Zhou Hehua's, and a round face that makes her especially cute.

Qiao Feng drove them back to Lianhua Brigade. His sister-in-law was wrapped up tightly, and Lin Shan carried her into the house.

Ding Dahua carried her eldest niece inside.

Grandma Lin hadn't met her great-granddaughter yet, so she quickly went over to see her.

Tie Dan also shouted that he wanted to see his sister, and pulled Xiao Bao to squeeze in.

Seeing a crowd gathered outside curious about her house, Lin Yu went out to chat with them.

"Aunt Liang, Aunt Zhang, Sister Wang, it's been so long since I've seen you!"

These people were in the same team as Lin Yu when she first went to the fields to earn work points. Later, she made good friends among the educated youth and was no longer assigned to the team.

So she hadn't seen these people for a long time.

Sister-in-law Wang and Wang Zhaodi were from the same brigade, but Sister-in-law Wang was younger than Wang Zhaodi and had always disliked Wang Zhaodi's mean and sarcastic manner, so they were not close.

Seeing that her belly was also quite big, Lin Yu asked with concern, "Sister-in-law Wang, are you pregnant? How many months along are you?"

Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, it's been a long time! I'm six months pregnant. Did your sister-in-law give birth to a baby girl?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, I had a little niece, she's tiny and incredibly cute."

Yang Honghua complained from the crowd, "After all that, she gave birth to a worthless baby. I thought that going to the city hospital would give her a boy."

Lin Yu rolled her eyes: "Aunt Yang, my daughter isn't some money-losing child. She's our precious niece. We don't care about boys."

Yang Honghua's son was said to have been tricked by an educated youth and married someone else. It is said that the educated youth had a daughter, and Yang Honghua cursed her every day, calling her a good-for-nothing and a waste of money.

It's her business if she likes to scold her own children, but Lin Yu doesn't want her to scold her own niece.

What's wrong with girls? Lin Yu just likes little girls.

So cute!

Sister-in-law Wang chimed in, "That's right, who cares about having a boy? It's so annoying! I just want to have a little girl like Lotus."

Yang Honghua scoffed, "You've already had three boys, of course you want to have a girl. It's easy for you to say that when you're not in my shoes."

Indeed, Sister-in-law Wang gave birth to three sons as soon as she married into the family, so her husband's family has always treated her very well.

Lin Yu declined to comment, but since Sister-in-law Wang wanted to have a daughter, Lin Yu thought she was a good person.

She hates all people who favor sons over daughters.

Aunt Liang also came over and said, "Yang Honghua, mind your own business. Xiaoyu, I just think it's good to have a daughter. Your sister-in-law is so lucky to have both a son and a daughter."

Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement: "Some people shouldn't go too far. Giving birth to a daughter isn't a big mistake. To torment a perfectly good young girl like that, their hearts are truly black."

That female educated youth was originally a pretty girl, well-behaved, and quiet.

So no one in the brigade believed that she had seduced Yang Honghua's son.

But these days a girl's reputation is too important, and since they were caught sleeping together, they had no choice but to get married.

Who knew that after they got married, Yang Honghua not only ruined other girls' reputations everywhere, but also constantly tormented her while she was pregnant.

This caused the female educated youth to have a premature birth, resulting in the birth of a baby girl.

She started cursing people every day again, saying they had given birth to a worthless, barren hen.

Aunt Zhang had been bullied by her mother-in-law before, and she hated that kind of person the most.

Therefore, she never gave Yang Honghua a kind look.

Yang Honghua was glared at by a group of middle-aged women, and she thought angrily, "It's none of your business what we do. You bunch of lackeys, the brigade leader just had a granddaughter and you're here to fawn over him."

Lin Yu's eyes darted around, and she called out to the person behind her, "Uncle, you're here."

Yang Honghua's face stiffened, and she turned her head somewhat flusteredly, saying, "Captain, that's not what I meant, I was just talking nonsense..."

They found that there was no one behind them.

She knew that Captain Lin had left the brigade today, which was why he dared to come to their doorstep and criticize the girl.

I actually got tricked by that brat Lin Yu!

A group of people around her were laughing, and even though Yang Honghua had a thick skin, she felt utterly ashamed.

She glared at Lin Yu and ran away.

Lin Yu called out from behind her, "Aunt Yang, when my uncle comes back I'll tell him what you just said."

Yang Honghua almost tripped over herself and gritted her teeth in hatred for Lin Yu.

Qiao Feng heard a burst of laughter outside while he was inside, so he quickly went out to see what was going on.

Lin Yu waved to him: "Aunt Liang, Sister Wang, Aunt Zhang, this is my brother from Haicheng. You should have seen him last time."

Qiao Feng had met these women from the village when he brought Lin Yu back last time; they were introduced by Lin Yu herself, so they must be people she was close to.

Qiao Feng greeted them politely and listened to them chat about some gossip from the brigade.

Then I heard a voice: "Little rain, little rain."

Turning around, I saw two women, one elegant and the other boisterous.

Lin Yu waved to them: "Beautiful, Manqing."

Qiao Feng knew that these were the two friends Lin Yu had mentioned, her former educated youth friends, Song Meili and Ou Manqing.
