In her previous life, Old Lady Li toiled her entire life for her family. She raised three children and brought up her grandchildren, never enjoying a single day of peace. Yet, her sacrifices were n...
fat?
Liu Qin turned her head to look at the door of the clinic. When a fat person is pregnant, her belly will be bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman.
Did she gain weight, and is she using the idea that a fat belly during pregnancy would be bigger to cover up the difference between the size of her belly and the month of pregnancy?
She seemed to have found a way to hide it from Guan's family.
Zhang Jiao and Lin Guodong bought a pair of shoes for Junjun at a state-owned store, and also bought some cloth and cotton.
As for clothes, Zhang Jiao planned to take the cloth and cotton and ask an old tailor in the alley to make them. It would be cheap and she wouldn't have to go back and suffer the humiliation of the salesperson.
After shopping, the family had beef noodles at a state-owned restaurant before going home.
His son and daughter-in-law were at home, so Lin Yong cooked some porridge for himself at noon and ate it with pickles. In the afternoon, he also washed his dirty clothes.
He has no money to give to Zhang Jiao now, and Zhang Jiao doesn't wash his clothes for him anymore, so he washes them all by himself.
At first, he often washed the clothes clean, but gradually he washed more and more, and figured out some skills of washing clothes, and the clothes he washed became cleaner and cleaner.
"Dad, what about the laundry?"
Zhang Jiao and Lin Guodong returned with Junjun.
Lin Yong raised his head and said "hmm".
Junjun didn't even wipe the grease off his mouth. Needless to say, Zhang Jiao and Lin Guodong must have taken Junjun out to eat.
Although this was the first time, Lin Yong still felt very uncomfortable.
When the children were young, whenever he had something delicious, he would think of bringing it home for his two sons.
But now the child has grown up, but whenever he wants to eat something delicious, he has to eat it secretly without telling his biological father.
Lin Yong had made up his mind that once he had paid off all his debts, he would go out to eat delicious food every week to make up for the food he hadn't eaten.
"Dad, guess who I met in the state-owned store?" Zhang Jiao looked at Lin Yong and asked.
Lin Yong didn't even raise his head. "Who?"
Zhang Jiao said: "Liu Qin, she is pregnant."
"She and Jianshe have a child?" Lin Yong raised his head and asked. Is he going to have another grandson?
Zhang Jiao shook her head. "She said it was Lin Jianshe. She divorced him in early August and then remarried."
"But her belly looks about right. I'm afraid she's been having an affair and gotten pregnant before she even got divorced."
Lin Yong frowned. Although he and Lin Jianshe had almost severed their relationship, he felt very happy knowing that he had spent so much betrothal gifts to marry a daughter-in-law to Lin Jianshe, but she had cheated on him before the divorce.
"I knew she was a quiet person. I should have spent so much money on gifts to let Lin Jianshe marry her!"
Lin Guodong rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, stop talking nonsense. What do you know? When my mom said that the Liu family was good people and wanted Lin Jianshe to marry Liu Qin, you still stood on Lin Jianshe's side."
Lin Yong: "..."
Do we have to expose his past and humiliate him?
He felt that Guodong was respecting him more and more.
After a break, Qin Ye didn't have to go to school to pick up Lin Xiaoyu, and Chunbao didn't have to go to class, so Qin Ye and Qin Rong went home at around 8 o'clock in the evening.
As soon as I reached the gate of No. 23 Courtyard, I saw someone closing the gate.
Qin Rong ran forward two steps and used her hands to hold the gate of the courtyard, which was still a crack open.
"Who is it? It's only closing time now?"
The person inside the door heard her voice and loosened his grip on the door. Qin Rong also pushed open the gate easily and walked into the yard. She saw that it was the bald Zhu Wuyong who closed the door.
This man was too lazy to even close his own door and lights when he was young. Cui Juanzi always said that he had two hands but no hands. Now he is very diligent and even closed the gate of the yard.
"Oh, it's you." Qin Rong glanced up and down at Zhu Wuyong.
"It's only half past eight now. Why did the door to our yard start closing so early?" Qin Rong asked Zhu Wuyong.
Qin Rong and Chunbao, who returned home before ten o'clock two days ago, were also locked outside the courtyard gate together with Qin Ye. They knocked on the door for a long time before it was opened. It was Wang Guixiang who opened the door for them because she had a stomachache and was going to the toilet.
Qin Rong wanted to find someone to talk it out with, but it was too late, so she gave up.
Since we happened to meet today, of course we had a good chat.
Qin Ye frowned and looked at Zhu Wuyong.
The latter's eyes dodged for a moment, then he looked up at Qin Rong and Qin Ye and said, "Just to inform you, the weather is getting colder, and there are more thieves. This month, two courtyards in this alley have been robbed in the middle of the night."
"For safety reasons, we at Courtyard 23 have unanimously decided to close the gate at 9 p.m."
"Nine o'clock in the evening?" Qin Ye said coldly, "Chun Bao goes to night school from Monday to Friday night. The class ends at 9:30, and he doesn't get home until 9:50 at the earliest."
"I don't get home until 9:40 or 9:50, and you close the store at 9:00 pm. How are we going to get home?"
"That's right." Qin Rong followed suit, "In the past autumn and winter, you never closed the gate at nine o'clock in the evening. It was always closed after ten o'clock in the evening."
"What are you doing? You know we get off work late and go home late, so you're deliberately making things difficult for us?" Qin Rong asked, leaning on her waist.
In her opinion, this was a deliberate targeting and intentional embarrassment.
She knew very well that she and Ono worked in the dumpling shop, and her son was doing better and better. Everyone in the yard was jealous of them.
Now it is clear that they are deliberately making small moves to target them.
Zhu Wuyong said, "Who is giving you a hard time? This is for the safety of our No. 23 Courtyard, and this is a unanimous decision made by the residents of the courtyard."
Qin Ye said coldly, "We are also from Courtyard 23. We have not been approved to close the gate at nine o'clock. We have no right to agree to it."
"That's right," Qin Rong followed suit. "We agree on this. Besides, what thief would be so smart as to run into the compound and steal things at nine or ten o'clock?"
"Although it's cold this winter and everyone goes to bed early, it's not as early as 10 o'clock. Thieves who steal things at night always wait until the middle of the night, when everyone is asleep."
"You closed the gate at nine o'clock. It's obvious that you knew we would be back before nine o'clock, and you were targeting us on purpose."
"Don't use the safety issue as an excuse!" Qin Rong said without any politeness.
Zhu Wuyong spread his hands and said, "The majority rule is true. Anyway, this is what we all decided after discussing it. If you don't believe it, you can call everyone out and ask them."
After saying that, Zhu Wuyong shouted towards the yard: "Everyone come out, Qin Rong and Qin Ye have objections to us closing the gate at nine o'clock!"
After a while, people from each family came out of their houses.
Zhu Wuyong: "Everyone, come out now. Ask yourselves, was closing the gate at nine o'clock a unanimous decision after discussion?"
