Chapter 25

"Okay, okay, you see, this young man is not as stable as this married man. Look at my Jianyuan, he is much more stable. Dali, I'm not saying anything bad, but you should get married. If you don't get married, it will be even harder for you to find a wife." Aunt Zhang once again touched Chen Dali's sore spot.

Chen Dali cursed inwardly, this old lady, enough is enough! If there is something to say, just say the thing, but she keeps talking about irrelevant things. Doesn’t she want to find one? ! He can’t find someone that suits her! Speaking of which, why don’t they introduce anyone to him? The ones they introduce are either those who have no jobs, or those skinny yellow-haired girls. If you don’t know, you would think they are fleeing from famine! Chen Dali secretly glanced at Lv Jinjin in the crowd, and thought regretfully, alas, Sister Lv suits his taste in every way, she is good-looking, has a fair complexion, a good figure, and has a job. It’s a pity that Sister Lv is a widow with a son, which is not worthy of him. After all, he is still a young man, and he still has to find a wife who can match him.

Lu Jinjin keenly felt Chen Dali's gaze. What damn bad luck!

Aunt Qiu: "I say, are you still allowed to talk? I have to go back to eat."

"Old Qiu, hurry up and tell me, I'm waiting to eat too. Xiaoyue has already warmed up my meal for me," Aunt Liu urged. No one was particularly wealthy these days, and with so many people around, she couldn't afford to invite Old Qiu to her house for a meal. Whether Old Qiu ate or not, whether Old Zhang or Old Wang ate or not was a problem.

Aunt Qiu: "Okay, tell me, when you get older, you're bound to encounter all sorts of things. At the time, Old Liu and Old Zhang were still in the ward with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I was tired of watching their little chores. I was thinking of going home early, but just as I walked to the first floor, outside the delivery room, I heard someone shouting, saying something was impossible, saying that the doctor had swapped their baby and replaced them with a monster. I wondered what kind of monster they were shouting about, could it be like Nezha? Who was pregnant by his mother for three years? I quietly went over, and boy, you can't guess, do you know what I heard?"

"Aunt Qiu, what on earth did you hear?"

Aunt Qiu looked at everyone with great pleasure. It felt really good to attract everyone's attention. "The doctor in the delivery room just delivered a baby boy. The doctor said that the boy actually has a tail growing on his butt!!"

"ah?!!"

"Aunt Qiu, are you talking nonsense?! Can this person have a tail?"

"That's right, Aunt Liu, do you know?"

Aunt Liu nodded. "What Old Qiu said is true. She came to call us. Not only us, but even the doctors and nurses on that floor went there. Who could make up such a lie?"

"So, that old woman was making a scene in the hospital. She pointed at the doctor and cursed him, saying that her baby had been switched. Luckily, there were only two people giving birth in the delivery room at the time; the other one hadn't been born yet, otherwise the doctor wouldn't have been able to explain it. I saw the young nurse's face turn pale with fear," Aunt Zhang continued. "We came so late because of such a big incident, and the hospital called the police. When the police showed up, the woman's mother, when questioned, said she suspected the sex-changing medicine her in-laws had given her daughter was fake."

Liu Xiaoyue frowned. "There's no such thing as a sex-changing pill. Isn't that a lie? If I could really give birth to a boy by taking the pills, then wouldn't there be no girls in the world? What a fool!" Liu Xiaoyue was angry because after Aunt Liu gave birth to her, her grandmother disliked her for being a girl. She forced Aunt Liu to take so-called "boy-birthing pills," which ultimately damaged Aunt Liu's health. Liu Xiaoyue's father was busy making purchases all over the place and was often away from home for long periods of time. By the time he returned home, Aunt Liu was nearly exhausted from the stress. Therefore, Liu Xiaoyue's father moved here from their hometown with Aunt Liu and Liu Xiaoyue. Later, when Liu Xiaoyue's grandmother was still alive, Liu Xiaoyue's father only visited her hometown alone during the Chinese New Year. After Grandma Liu passed away, Liu Xiaoyue's family lost contact with their family.

Aunt Wang nodded. "Well, the woman who gave birth was from the countryside. Her mother said she had already given birth to four daughters. When her daughter-in-law found out she was pregnant, her grandmother went looking for a doctor. You all understand, right? She said her daughter-in-law was having another girl, so the grandmother asked for a medicine to change the baby's sex. The woman who gave birth also had a problem. She took any medicine she was given, and she was already five or six months pregnant at the time. She took it all, and she kept taking it for two months. How could such a good child be harmed by such medicine? The doctor said it was a lie. This time, the baby just had a little tuft of flesh on its tail. We can have surgery when the baby is a little older. What if the baby had grown arms and legs?"

"Hiss~ It's true, pregnant women really can't eat anything!"

Uncle Qi from the same courtyard interrupted and asked, "Where did this old woman find someone who wanted this reincarnation drug? Now that they've told me about this, shouldn't the police be looking for that person? Have they arrested them yet?"

In the night, the dim light from the house cast a shadow on the courtyard. Bi Chunliu couldn't quite make out the expression on Uncle Qi's face, but she felt something was amiss. Could Uncle Qi have some idea about this?

Bi Chunliu was right. Grandpa Qi had that in mind. He figured that since the woman had given birth to a boy, the incarceration drug was effective. Didn't Aunt Wang just say that the woman took it for two months before it got bad? Why not just have her take it for a month after her daughter-in-law got pregnant? After two months of taking it, she'd grown two little follicles. So, taking it for a month and keeping one alive wouldn't be a problem. These women with long hair and short vision were frightened by the slightest thing, and it was still his idea. Grandpa Qi glanced at his daughter-in-law, who was hugging her granddaughter and talking, then at his son, who was grinning foolishly at the conversation, and curled his lips. Tsk, he didn't have the extra money to marry his son off, otherwise he'd just have this daughter-in-law. Alas, all he could do now was to urge Qi Chao on. Grandpa Qi felt a surge of joy at the thought of having a grandson in the compound, his eldest grandson chirping and calling him grandpa.

"Aunt Qiu, how was this handled? What did the police say?"

"Ugh, ugh! That old woman wanted compensation at first. She was just blackmailing us! Oh, it's a good thing the police were there, otherwise she might have been able to blame the hospital. The police said it was all her own fault and had nothing to do with the hospital. Then they took her away for investigation. I guess they're going to arrest the drug seller. The police took her away, and the old woman was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word."

"That's fine. If she really gets away with it, the hospital leaders and the doctor who delivered the baby will be sick to death. It seems this evil person is also afraid of national sanctions..."

"That's right. Tsk, you see, this person, you really can't mess around, you have to ask in advance before doing anything, especially a woman like us, it's easy to suffer losses if there is something wrong."

“It really is.”

The group discussed this matter for a long time before everyone prepared to go home.

Aunt Qiu: "Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, I'm done. I really have to go home and eat. If I don't eat now, I'll be starving and unable to sleep."

"Okay, I have to eat quickly too," Aunt Zhang replied, glancing at Aunt Liu, who was already about to eat with her bowl in hand. She was quite lucky, having a caring daughter. Pan Juan must have gone to bed with the child. This young wife had gotten even lazier since she had the baby. I really had to talk about her someday.

Aunt Liu, who was eating noodles with a bowl in hand: ? ?

Bi Chunliu also returned home with her younger brother and sister. She planned to go to the Liu family again later. She also wanted to ask Aunt Liu to bring some meat for her. If there was no meat, she would have to eat vegan dumplings the day after tomorrow.

Bi Chunliu estimated the time and thought that Aunt Liu should have finished her meal, so she went to Liu's house and gave the money and ticket to Aunt Liu. Bi Chunliu hurried home because she was afraid that she would get up late the next day.

The next morning, Bi Chunliu was woken by the noise in the yard. He glanced outside and saw Bai Xingzi cooking and Nie Xiangbei, the third son of the Nie family, washing up. It seemed that today was going well.

Bi Chunliu got out of bed without waking up Bi Xiahe and Bi Qiuguo. She walked outside and saw that Bi Weiguo was already awake. "Sister, do you want to cook?"

"Well, if you don't want to sleep, get up, wash up, and then help me cook." Bi Chunliu said in a low voice.

"Okay!" Bi Weiguo agreed readily. He quite liked cooking.

Bi Chunliu had already decided what she was going to make the night before. She'd make some dumpling soup in the morning, heat up some steamed buns made with two-grain noodles, and finally prepare some pickles. These days, pickles are often salted to last longer, so eating them straight away isn't the best idea. She'd add a little oil and some green onions and stir-fry them, which would make them more fragrant.

In her previous life, she'd learned how to make watermelon jam, and it was a huge success! Liu Xu could eat two large steamed buns and half a bowl of noodles with the jam. She thought she'd wait until summer to see the price of watermelon and then make some herself.

Bi Weiguo went to wash up first. Bi Chunliu was making dumpling soup in the kitchen. She would wait until Bi Weiguo finished washing up and came to watch the pot before going over, because the dumpling soup would be ready quickly.

"Brother Xiangbei." Bi Weiguo greeted Nie Xiangbei.

Nie Xiangbei nodded, glanced at Bi Weiguo, washed up, and left. Before entering the house, he turned back to look at Bi Weiguo, who was washing his face foolishly. He thought to himself, don't say that fools have good luck. When this kid graduates from high school, he will definitely have no worries about finding a job. After all, the job Bi Chunliu is currently working at must be for this silly kid. Nie Xiangbei sighed softly. Of course, it would be better if his mother had given birth to a son like him.

Nie Xiangbei and Nie Xiangnan were in their senior year of high school. It was almost May, and securing jobs was urgent! Many of the students in their class had already decided to have their families take over. Mom's job was given to my second brother, and my grandparents' jobs were also taken over. Dad definitely wouldn't let me take over his job. Sigh, it looked like I really had to think about what to do. Nie Xiangnan was a woman, so it was okay; she could still get married, but he couldn't. I had no idea what Dad was thinking lately, and he hadn't given me a definite answer. Ugh! This was a tough situation. I didn't want to go back to the countryside.

After Bi Weiguo finished washing up, he said, "Sister, you go ahead, I'll just watch the pot!"

"Okay, go wake them both up. I'll wash and fry the pickles, and then we'll have dinner." Bi Chunliu instructed.

"Good!" Bi Weiguo felt that his elder sister seemed to be in a very good mood these past two days, and their lives were becoming more and more wonderful. It was really good, really good!
