Chapter 5 Don’t you have a son?

The next day.

After the heavy snow last night, it was a rare sunny day.

The sunlight shines into the house through the window, adding a touch of warmth to the room.

It was not until noon that Lin Anan woke up slowly, stretched, and adjusted to the light in the room.

"Are you awake, An An? Come on, I've warmed up your clothes for you. They're at the end of the kang."

"Several groups of people have come this morning. Xiaolan said they are all our neighbors. You have to be careful and don't let anyone look down on you."

Lin's mother came up to check on her daughter several times. Seeing that her daughter was sleeping soundly, she was reluctant to disturb her at all.

Lin Anan slept very well last night. The fire pit was really warm and the quilt was thick, so it didn't feel hard.

Lin Anan was stunned when she saw the coat in front of her! It was an earth-colored plaid coat, which was very fashionable in this era. It was also Lin Anan's best piece of clothing, and she usually didn't want to wear it.

Lin Anan looked at her mother suspiciously.

"Oh~ You don't understand this! You are the new bride. Although Mingzhou has no elders, he is still an officer. Neighbors come and go. You have to leave a good impression on them and make your man proud."

Lin Anan: “…”

"Listen to my mother."

"good."

Lin Anan didn't care. She wore whatever she was told to wear. It was just a piece of clothing anyway. As for whether it looked good or not? This body had 90% of the appearance. Even if she was dying of illness, she was still a 100% yandere.

He brushed his teeth and washed his face in the enamel basin, and let Lin's mother comb his hair.

Come out only after everything is tidy.

When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged woman leaning against the kitchen door, talking to Chu Minglan.

Chu Minglan was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, her small figure looking a little petite in front of the stove.

Hearing footsteps, they both turned back.

"Hiss~"

As soon as she saw Lin Anan, the middle-aged woman subconsciously took a breath.

Chu Minglan looked at Lin Anan with a slightly embarrassed look in her eyes. Thinking of Lin's mother's instructions, she still called out softly, "Sister-in-law."

Chu Minglan's calling out this was equivalent to confirming Lin Anan's identity.

The middle-aged woman clicked her tongue twice and came over.

Is this really Chu Mingzhou’s... ungrateful wife?

Whatever was on her mind, she asked casually, "Are you Mingzhou's wife?"

The middle-aged woman crossed her arms over her chest with a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were full of critical scrutiny. She scanned Lin Anan from head to toe like a scanner.

She had been listening to Lin's mother bragging all morning, about how she was a college student, talented, and very beautiful...

Everything she said was things she didn't want to hear, and it didn't reflect well on the mother and daughter at all.

"Hello, auntie."

Lin Anan looked frank, nodded at her, and walked straight to the main hall.

The seat he sat in was the main one. Although he was thin, his attitude and agility showed that he was not simple. At least he was the one who could not be easily controlled.

The middle-aged woman laughed awkwardly and followed, "I'm your next-door neighbor, my last name is Wang. I watched Mingzhou and his siblings grow up, so I can be considered their half-elder. My son Wang Hu is Mingzhou's comrade-in-arms, and he's also a company commander~"

Lin Anan raised a very light smile at the corner of her mouth and nodded at her, indicating that she understood.

Mother Lin brought over a bowl of porridge and Aunt Wang glanced at it casually.

Wow~ There are meat and vegetables, and even the shadow of wild ginseng?

"Well……"

As soon as Aunt Wang opened her mouth, her mouth was stuck.

How come it tastes so good? What's the origin?

"Aunt Wang, you're here again? My An An is weak and can't stand being hungry. Let her eat a few bites first."

Mother Lin pretended to feed her again, but Lin Anan refused by holding out her hand, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"Yes, Xiaolan and I had pancakes this morning. We are full."

"That's good."

Lin Anan started to drink her porridge, and the main hall became quiet.

Aunt Wang is well-known in the courtyard as a know-it-all. Whenever there is something exciting to watch, she will definitely be the first one to see it.

As soon as she heard about Lin Anan yesterday, she came here three times this morning.

Now that she had seen the real culprit, Aunt Wang didn't dare to speak loudly.

I can be picky, but Lin Anan's frail appearance... really makes me nervous. I'm afraid that if I say something, I'll expose the problem to the girl in front of me...

But if she didn't say something, she would feel uncomfortable.

Aunt Wang didn't feel sorry for Lin An'an, but felt sorry for Chu Mingzhou. How could she live with such a wife? What's the point of being pretty? She probably couldn't even give birth to a son!

Lin Anan noticed her expression and only put down the bowl gently after she finished it.

Mother Lin then began to greet Aunt Wang, "My daughter has been busy with her studies in the past few years, and the young couple have been apart for a long time. It's not easy! My son An'an will follow the army in the future, and I need you elders to take care of him."

"Of course I should. But having said that, sister, you really love your daughter."

Mother Lin was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant. "Of course, this is my precious baby, and my An An is very promising. If I don't love her, who else can I love?"

Aunt Wang said "oh" and asked suspiciously, "You don't have a son?"

"You...what nonsense are you talking about! My youngest son is almost eighteen."

Aunt Wang choked!

In a family with a son, what is the point of a daughter being a treasure? Even if there is no son, there are always nephews and nieces, right? Why can't it be the turn of the daughter to be loved...

Aunt Wang thought that she was not mentally normal, so she chose to skip this topic.

Lin's mother had no idea what she was thinking, and she started praising Lin Anan one after another, praising her to the heavens and earth, as if Chu Mingzhou would be so happy to marry such a wife.

Aunt Wang curled her lips where Lin's mother couldn't see, and rolled her eyes, "I heard that Mingzhou's wife is not in good health. Is she going to the hospital for a checkup today?"

Mother Lin sighed, "Well, I wanted to go to Kyoto to see him, but An An missed Ming Zhou and insisted on coming to the Northwest. As parents, we have no choice but to send her here safely."

In fact, there was no need for Aunt Wang to ask this question. Just looking at Lin Anan's dying appearance, she would know that she was a real sickly person!

Aunt Wang coughed lightly, looked around deliberately, lowered her voice several degrees, and said mysteriously, "By the way, big sister, are you going to the hospital this afternoon?

"Yes, Mingzhou is worried about An An's health, so he is making arrangements in a hurry!"

"Heh~ I suddenly remembered something. You guys better be careful."

Mother Lin immediately became alert, lowered her voice, and leaned over, "What's the matter? We just got here, is there anything else that has anything to do with us?"

Aunt Wang raised her eyebrows proudly, and said with the intention of watching a good show, "This matter...you must not say that I said it."

"Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut!"

Watching the two people interacting, Lin Anan couldn't help but smile. She wanted to laugh, but was also curious about what was going on, so she pricked up her ears to listen.

"Didn't Mingzhou just file for divorce? Everyone in our compound knows about this..." Aunt Wang started, glancing at Lin's mother.

Mother Lin's eyes widened slightly, "What! Divorce application? Impossible!"
