Gu Chan smiled before saying anything.

"Zhao Zhao, I'll be able to pay off my debt to you soon!"

Her voice was not loud, but the smile on her face was so contagious that people couldn't help but glance at her face.

"Hmm?" Lin Zhao asked in a puzzled tone, "What's going on?"

She got serious.

I’m mainly afraid that my elder sister-in-law will be cheated.

Although most people nowadays are simple and warm-hearted, there are also black-hearted people who can easily take advantage of honest people if they are not careful.

Gu Chan gave Lin Zhao a reassuring look and explained carefully, "The person Xiangdong rescued is back."

"...The old man he saved was a researcher. He went into the mountains looking for something, but he went deeper and deeper into the mountains and ran into danger. Fortunately, he met Xiangdong and was able to save his life."

"The old man was injured and unconscious. His son, upon hearing the news, was so concerned that he rushed him to a large hospital for treatment. When his injuries had almost healed, he remembered the man who saved his life and returned home."

"The family will compensate for Xiangdong's medical expenses and also said they would arrange a job for him. Xiangdong offered to give me the job, and the family agreed. Once Xiangdong recovers, I can go back to work."

Lin Zhao didn't expect that there would be a turn of events.

"Good things happen to good people. Congratulations, big sister."

As soon as the voice fell, Qian Bao suddenly said: "Congratulations, Auntie."

Gu Chan couldn't help laughing, hugged her nephew and kissed him, "Do you understand what we are talking about? You said congratulations."

Qian Bao's eyes were calm, and his dark eyes were exceptionally clear. "Aunt has to go to work, just like mom."

Gu Chan's eyes widened. "Qian Bao is really smart."

She hugged the little guy and said, "He will definitely be successful in the future."

"Yeah, that's promising." Qian Bao nodded like a little adult, "Supporting mom and aunt."

Gu Chan's heart melted, "Okay. Aunt, work hard and support our Qianbao and Hengbao to go to college in the future."

Qianbao hummed, lowered his head to read a book, and told his sister from time to time.

Both children are very worry-free.

"Who is taking care of my brother-in-law?" Lin Zhao asked curiously when she saw that Gu Chan was not in a hurry to go back.

"My mother-in-law is here, and Da Shitou and Xiao Shitou are here too. It's okay." Gu Chan smiled.

"Are Big Stone and Little Stone okay?" Lin Zhao asked again.

Both boys didn't like to cause trouble for others. They had only stayed at Gu's house for a few days and insisted on leaving. She had no choice but to send them to the hospital.

Later, Dashitou took his brother back to the village. Occasionally, when their grandmother came to the county hospital, she would take them with her.

"I'm fine." said Gu Chan.

Knowing Zhao Zhao was worried that Sister Wei might harm the two stones, she explained, "I told the big stone to stay with her grandmother. With my mother-in-law protecting her, my sister-in-law wouldn't dare to go too far."

Gu Chan's eyes were filled with gratitude. "It was all thanks to Cheng Huai that he went over. He knew how capable my brother was. Since then, my sister-in-law has not dared to come over again."

Even if you say some unpleasant words, it’s okay. As long as you don’t say it in front of her, she can pretend not to hear it.

"Big sister, you're too polite." Lin Zhao's eyes were warm. "Gu Chenghuai is your biological brother. It's only natural for him to support you."

Not to mention her man, even she herself wanted to slap Mrs. Wei's annoying face.

Too much owed.

Gu Chan's heart warmed.

"Zhao Zhao, I haven't visited you for so many days. There must be a lot of laundry piled up at home. I will come to your house when I have time." She said apologetically.

Lin Zhao: “…”

"No, my cousin is at home. My uncle and aunt asked him to help me take care of the four kids. He does all the heavy work around the house. Big sister, you go and do your own thing. I don't have much to do at home."

Gu Chan glared at Lin Zhao, "How much can I possibly do?"

Seeing Zhao Zhao shaking his head at her, she compromised and said, "Okay, I'll go after I finish everything."

She is very stubborn about this.

If she is not allowed to do it, she will feel uncomfortable all over.

Cheng Huai is not at home, and my brother and sister-in-law have to take care of four children. It’s so hard. I will help if I can. It’s just a matter of putting in some physical effort.

As long as Cheng Huai's family is happy, she thinks it's worth it!

Lin Zhao was speechless.

Just then, the bell for the end of get off work rang.

Gu Chan looked at Lin Zhao inquiringly, "Let's go back together?"

"good."

Hearing this, Gu Chan reached out to Yaobao, and Yaobao opened her little arms.

Lin Zhao put the twins' stools into the cabinet, packed up her belongings, and took Qianbao out of the counter.

Out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

She looked down at Qian Bao and asked, "Do you want a hug?"

Qianbao shook his head.

"Then go ahead. Tell me when you're tired and I'll carry you." Lin Zhao's voice was soft.

"Yeah!" Qianbao responded obediently.

There was tenderness in Gu Chan's eyes.

"Zhao Zhao, are we celebrating Yu Bao and Heng Bao's birthdays this year?"

Lin Zhao nodded. "We'll do it, and we'll have to do it respectably. We've never done it before, so let's make it up to them."

Gu Chan paused slightly, her face full of joy.

"Yu Bao and Heng Bao will definitely be happy."

"Where are you planning to do it?" she asked again.

In previous years, when the twins celebrated their birthdays, their mother would boil eggs for them as per tradition. She would use the sugar coupons she had saved to buy some malt sugar and share it with Yubao and Hengbao.

In fact, this is considered good in the village, but Gu Chan still feels that her nephew is wronged.

Their biological father is so capable and his allowance is so high, but the children only celebrate their birthdays once a year and eat cakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperative... It's not too much, right?

But there is none.

certainly.

Gu Chan would not blame her younger brother and sister-in-law. The third room was separated and Zhao Zhao was the manager, so she had the final say on how to live.

Lin Zhao replied, "In the village."

She explained with a smile, "Yu Bao and Heng Bao know a lot of people in the village, so if we can make it a lively event, they'll be even happier."

Gu Chan couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, Hengbao loves a lively atmosphere. He will definitely be happy if we hold a party in the village. He can show off until the New Year."

At this point, Lin Zhao realized in shock that it was only two months away from the Chinese New Year.

"It's almost Chinese New Year."

Gu Chan looked sideways at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did Cheng Huai say he was coming back?"

"No." Lin Zhao shook her head.

Gu Chan's eyes showed heartache, and she said dryly, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

"I don't feel wronged. Aren't you all here? His absence doesn't affect our lively celebration of the festival." Lin Zhao pretended to be cheerful.

Gu Chan said, "You're right, let's have a lively time. Zhao Zhao, are there any defective products in the supply and marketing society? I want to make a cotton-padded jacket for my mother, but I don't have any cloth coupons."

"Not yet," Lin Zhao said. "It's not due yet. Maybe in half a month or so, I'll keep an eye out for it. If I find any, I'll save it for you."

"Sorry to trouble you." Gu Chan felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not a big deal, just something that comes naturally." Lin Zhao didn't care, her tone light. "I knitted a sweater for Mom. When your cotton-padded jacket is ready, Mom will have a new one."

Gu Chan was shocked, "You knit a sweater for your mother?"

Is it the biological mother or the mother-in-law?

The expression on her face was so understandable.

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Whoever makes your cotton-padded jacket is the one I knit my sweater for."

They didn't have much to do in the afternoons after work, so she was free anyway, so she learned from other comrades and slowly knitted a sweater.

During this period of time, she first knitted for herself and Gu Chenghuai, then for her four children, and just finished knitting for her parents last week. Now she is knitting for her mother-in-law.

To be honest, knitting sweaters is a great way to kill time.

Gu Chan smiled awkwardly, "Is that so? I thank you on behalf of my mother. Did I knit it for you?"

"Both." Lin Zhao chuckled. "I bought a lot of wool, and my third brother sent me a lot more. I'm bored at work, so knitting is a good way to kill time."

Gu Chan understood.

Being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative does have an easy and very comfortable job.

"Has your family told you which factory your elder sister will work for in the future?" Lin Zhao asked.

"I haven't said anything yet." Gu Chan said, "No matter which factory I join, having a job is good."

Even being a temporary worker is good, not to mention that the family is powerful, so she will be a regular employee if she gets the job.

Qianbao exerted a little force on his hands and reached out to Lin Zhao when she looked at him.

"I want to be hugged." He tilted his head, his cute little face looking serious.

Lin Zhao bent down and picked him up. "Are you tired from walking?"

"Yeah." Qianbao put his arms around his mother's neck, nodded and yawned.

"Are you tired?" Lin Zhao patted her youngest son's back, her voice soft and gentle.

The child rubbed his eyes, and his long eyelashes drooped like a small fan, fluttering one by one, which made people feel soft-hearted.

"Yeah." He replied sleepily.

"Close your eyes and go to sleep. Mom will take you home." Lin Zhao gently stroked Qianbao's soft back and coaxed him to sleep.

Qianbao cheered himself up, pouted and kissed his mother's face, then buried his head in Lin Zhao's shoulder, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a second.

Lin Zhao was slightly stunned.

A gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

How could she be tired? Her baby was healing her silently like this.

Gu Chan's eyes were rarely dull.

Is this Qian Bao? Not Yu Bao or Heng Bao?!

"Qianbao is so clingy?" Her tone was full of disbelief.

Lin Zhao held Qianbao's butt with her left hand and his back with her right, patting him from time to time and saying in a low voice, "Occasionally, but rarely."

"That's not bad." Gu Chan looked at him enviously. "When he was little, I wiped his butt and washed his diapers, but he didn't want me to hold him. If I held him for too long, he would whimper and cry. He couldn't stand being touched. He's been like this since he was little, just like his father."

Lin Zhao said, "I didn't realize it. He has been kissing me since I was a child."

In her case, he is a little kid who loves to stick to his mother.

Gu Chan brainwashed herself, "You worked so hard to give birth to them, they deserve to kiss you. If anyone doesn't kiss you, Cheng Huai will pick them up and beat them up."

"That's true, haha."

As they were talking, they returned home.

Gu Chan was anxious to return to the hospital and did not dare to stay any longer. Before leaving, she asked Lin Zhao to tell her parents the good news when she returned to the village.

After saying that, leave quickly.

Time flies and three days have passed.

Li Bao recovered from his illness, but Gu Yuanshan and Huang Xiulan couldn't stand his nagging, so they sent him to school.

After paying the two cents tuition, I felt so heartbroken.

The child didn't know how to be polite. Libao remembered what his third aunt had said, asking him to visit someone in the city and go to and from school with Yubao and Hengbao, so he made a fuss about going to his third aunt's house.

Huang Xiulan had no choice but to bring him to find the twins with a blushing face.

This was her first time visiting the third wife's home in the city.

It's quite surprising to see.

The courtyards in the city are clean and decent.

"Third sister-in-law, Libao has recovered from his illness and wants to go to school. I'm here to register him."

Lin Zhao looked at Li Bao. The little guy was wearing thick clothes with patches. His face was thin and a little sallow. He had been sick and his complexion had not recovered yet.

"Is Libao still feeling uncomfortable?" she asked Libao.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Libao smiled innocently.

Huang Xiulan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why aren't you feeling uncomfortable anymore? You're still coughing a little."

Lin Zhao gently touched Li Bao's head and said, "Stay at Third Aunt's for a few days. I have some cough suppressant here. I'll give it to you. After a few times, your cough will stop."

Li Bao smiled and said, "Okay."

Heng Bao asked Lin Zhao, "Mom, can I drink?"

"You're not coughing, what are you drinking? All medicines are poisonous." Lin Zhao pushed his little face away.

Hengbao sighed and stopped pestering her.

He looked at Libao with envy and licked his lips. "Libao, the cough medicine my mom gave me is so sweet. My brother and I only drank it twice and our coughs stopped. I wanted to drink more, but mom wouldn't let me."

It sounds very aggrieved.

Lin Zhao: “…”

Li Bao didn't believe there was such a thing as sweet medicine, so he said, "If Auntie San gives me some, I'll share it with you."

Lin Zhao glanced at Hengbao lightly.

The child rolled his eyes and said to Libao, "No, I don't have a cough. Just drink the medicine yourself and you'll be fine. When you're better, we can play."

Libao hummed heavily.

He saw Dahuang and Amber and hugged them happily, "Dahuang, Amber, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have gained weight again..."

The children were talking and laughing.

Lin Zhao and Huang Xiulan were also talking. After talking about the lively things in the village, they talked about Gu Chan.

Huang Xiulan was very happy to hear that the person Wei Xiangdong rescued had returned and admitted his responsibility.

"That family has a conscience!" She laughed heartily, "Now Ah Chan feels relieved."

Lin Zhao: "Yes. That family not only paid for my medical expenses, but also arranged a job for me."

"!!!"

Huang Xiulan's eyes widened and she was speechless with anger.

"...work?" She raised her voice. "What kind of work?"

Lin Zhao: "I don't know yet."

Huang Xiulan swallowed her saliva, wishing she was the one who risked her life to save the person.

"It doesn't matter what kind of job it is, as long as it's there, it's good. Ah Chan's life has finally improved, and she won't have to worry about anything in the future. She married a good man."

Thinking that her husband was not bad, and although her family was poor, her life was comfortable, the complicated emotions faded a little.

"When I get home and tell Mom, she'll be able to sleep soundly at night."

Ever since her son-in-law got into trouble, Gu's mother has been worried. Every few days, she would exchange eggs in the village and send them to the county hospital, asking Achan to cook them for her son-in-law.

Whenever he mentioned Wei Xiangdong's injury, he was worried about the medical expenses and what would happen to his daughter in the future...

"Sister-in-law, the money we borrowed...my elder sister said she will pay it back once that family gives her money." Lin Zhao said.

Huang Xiulan waved her hand and said, "Tell her not to worry. I'll think of it as her saving it for us."

"You are not anxious, but I am." Lin Zhao said with a smile.

"That's right." Huang Xiulan took a sip of water to moisten her throat and continued, "...I can't sleep well after borrowing money from others."

After the chat, she was thinking about going to work, gave Libao some instructions, and went back to the team.

Libao sat on the bench, swinging his legs with a happy smile on his face.

He put his arm around Yubao and Hengbao, "We can play together again. Yubao, Hengbao, have you made any new friends at school?"

"Yes, there are many..." Hengbao listed several names.

Libao looked at him and Yubao and asked nervously, "Am I still your best friend?"

"Of course." Heng Bao thought without hesitation, "We are good friends and good brothers, the best of the best, the best in the world."

Libao's tense little face broke into a smile.

Lin Zhao came to deliver cough medicine to Libao, and after hearing this conversation, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

He rubbed his cheeks and walked into the house.

"Libao, take your medicine. It's better to take it sooner rather than later."

Li Bao slid off the stool, took the medicine with both hands, looked up at Lin Zhao, and said bravely, "Third Aunt, I'm really strong now. I'm not afraid of the bitterness at all. I can swallow the medicine in one gulp."

Even as he said this, Lin Zhao could hear the trembling in his voice.

"It's not bitter, it's sweet. Didn't Hengbao tell you?" She said soothingly.

Yes, he did say that, but Libao couldn't believe it.

The medicine he drank was so bitter that he couldn't taste it in his mouth.

"Libao, you actually don't believe me!" Hengbao was devastated.

Li Bao's eyes flashed with guilt, "I believe it!"

"If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me... I'll prove it to you!" He picked up the medicine and gulped it down.

As he tasted the sweetness, confusion appeared in his dark eyes.

It’s really sweet!

In an instant, a look of regret appeared on Libao's face.

He drank it so fast that he couldn't even taste it.
