Chapter 466: A Man in His 41s

Chen Ying rolled her eyes at him. "What can you do? You stay here and take care of her and her mother. I'll go back."

"Shuhe will finish eating soon, take a nap."

Gu Shuhe raised his shrunken head and asked, "Have you been awake since last night?"

Shen Tingci raised his hand and touched her head, "Not sleepy!"

Chen Ying said, "It's his first time being a father, he's very happy."

Gu Shuhe said, "You'd better go to sleep, otherwise you'll ruin your health and I'll have to take care of you!"

Shen Tingci "..."

It sounds like caring words, but it also doesn't seem like caring words.

Chen Ying beside him happily replied, "At such a young age..."

Gu Shuhe drank his porridge and said, "I'm not getting any younger. I'll be thirty this year."

Shen Tingci "..."

Chen Ying: “…”

Chen Ying looked at her son and then at her daughter-in-law.

My son is not old, he is in his prime, that is...

Chen Ying quickly tried to smooth things over for her son, "A man is in his prime at 41."

"Pfft," Gu Shuhe couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "My eldest brother-in-law became a grandfather when he was just over 40 a few years ago. How can he look like a flower!"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Shen Tingci, "If he gets married early, he will also be a grandfather by then."

Chen Ying: “…”

Seeing that Chen Ying was still trying to make up a few words, Shen Tingci said, "You can go back now and see if you can buy some fresh vegetables."

He didn't dare let his mother talk to his wife, otherwise she would say words that would hurt him deeply.

Shen Tingci wanted to drive his mother away first, but Shuhe thought it was too hasty, "I haven't even finished eating yet!"

"If you want to stew the soup, you have to prepare it early. You can eat it slowly. I will take the lunch box back," Chen Ying was not going to continue talking to her daughter-in-law.

If I continue talking immediately, my son will be worthless.

My second son has been exploited to the point where he is worthless. I cannot just watch my eldest son become worthless as well.

Chen Ying was about to leave, and Gu Shuhe quickly drank the last bit of porridge in a few mouthfuls.

Then Chen Ying took both lunch boxes away.

After Chen Ying left, around ten o'clock, the child started crying again.

This time, he kept crying even after his diaper was changed.

Shen Tingci took the child to the doctor and the doctor said, "The child must be hungry. Does the mother have breast milk?"

"If not, give me some water first!"

"Then let the child breathe more."

Shen Tingci took the child back.

After entering the ward, the child was still crying, and Gu Shuhe asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Shen Tingci's face turned red all of a sudden.

He turned around, closed the door of the ward, and locked it from the inside, then stuttered, "...Child, I'm hungry, hungry."

"I'm hungry..." Gu Shuhe murmured, blushing.

"Then I feed you?"

"Um!"

Shen Tingci held the child over, Gu Shuhe looked at him, embarrassed to lift his clothes, so Shen Tingci quickly turned his face away.

After a while, Shen Tingci asked, "Is there any breast milk?"

"If not, I'll go get some milk powder."

Gu Shuhe looked at the child who had already eaten, "It seems so!"

"Take a look!"

Shen Tingci blushed even more, but still turned around.

——

The child was still too young, and not long after Shen Tingci turned around, the child was full and fell asleep again.

Shen Tingci put the child in the crib and filled some hot water to help Gu Shuhe wipe his body. At this time, both of them tacitly kept silent.

After that, until Chen Ying came, one sat on the bed and the other sat on the chair, neither of them made a sound.

After Chen Ying arrived, the two gradually returned to normal.

Shen Tingci was still there to accompany her at night.

The next morning, Chen Ying came early, and after Shen Tingci waited for her to come, he went home, took the red eggs she cooked, and went to Gu's house.

Only Lin Liansheng was at home in the Gu family.

When he saw the red eggs that Shen Tingci had sent over, he knew that Gu Shuhe had given birth, and he quickly asked, "When did you give birth?"

"The night before yesterday, at midnight."

"I was delayed yesterday and didn't have time to come here, so I came here today."

Lin Liansheng nodded to show his understanding.

He asked Shen Tingci to sit down and drink some tea, but Shen Tingci didn't drink it. "Shu He and the child are still in the hospital, so I won't drink the tea. Come back later when I have time."

Lin Liansheng didn't keep anyone else, "Okay, drive slowly on the road."

As soon as Shen Tingci left, Lin Liansheng went to ask Xu Zhongguo for help to send a telegram to the town.

But when I got to Xu Zhongguo, there was no one there.

Lin Liansheng had no choice but to go back first.

At noon, during the lunch break, Lin Liansheng was telling Wu Guifang, who had just returned home, to tell Xu Zhongguo to accompany him to send a telegram, when he heard Xu Zhongguo's voice.

Xu Zhongguo rode his bicycle, clanging, and started shouting "Liansheng, Liansheng..." from a distance.

Lin Liansheng looked in the direction of the voice, took two steps forward, and said to Xu Zhongguo with a smile, "I was just telling Guifang that I'll have to trouble you to come this afternoon. Shuhe has given birth. Dad and the others told me when they left that they would send them a telegram when Shuhe is born."

"I've never done this before, and I don't know how to do it. I thought I'd ask you to take me there."

Xu Zhongguo panted and nodded, "Okay!"

"Will Yan Li's wife come back with us?" Xu Zhongguo asked again.

"Well, come back. We will definitely come back together then."

"That's great, we can solve this problem at the same time." Xu Zhongguo sighed, "I feel uncomfortable every day if Lin Guangqian's family doesn't find something to do for me."

As Xu Zhongguo was talking, he took Qiu Yuefang and her group to the commune to file a complaint, saying that Wen Tang abused his power for personal gain, and that the soap belonged to the entire Xiangxing Brigade, but none of Qiu Yuefang's families (Luo Tian coaxed them into dividing the family after the New Year) had touched any of the work.

Huang Hongmei sought an explanation from Wen Tang several times but failed to get one. With no other options left, she jumped into the river and is now dead.

After hearing this, Wu Guifang cursed, "Why is there so much trouble in her family every day?"

"Then why did Huang Hongmei die? Don't they know it themselves?"

Xu Zhongguo said, "What you said is useless."

"That educated youth Luo is already preparing to go to the higher authorities to appeal."

"I went there today just to be criticized."

"The commune asked us to deal with this matter quickly. Otherwise, if it gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone. They are not willing to take the blame for us."

"It's just right that Yan Li's wife is back. We can discuss what to do about this!"

After Xu Zhongguo finished talking about this, he went home with Wu Guifang.

Lin Liansheng stood alone at the door, feeling extremely angry, and finally went to Lin Guangqian's house.

When Qiu Yuefang saw Lin Liansheng coming, she knew it must be because of something they had reported to the commune.

Qiu Yuefang was somewhat proud. She thought that Luo Tian was quite smart. She could actually come up with such a good idea that immediately forced the Gu family to behave themselves.

Lin Guangqian went out to meet Lin Liansheng. Lin Liansheng did not say anything but was indignant, "Fourth brother, how did Hongmei die? Don't you know?"

"How can you pour dirty water on us?"

"Do you have a guilty conscience?"

Lin Guangqian didn't say anything.

Lin Liansheng didn't expect him to tell him anything.

After all, they have done what they have done, so why expect them to have any conscience?

Lin Liansheng finally said, "God is watching what we do."

Gu Yanli received the telegram sent by Lin Liansheng the next day.
