Seeing Lin Ying wake up, Haoyu walked up to her and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I made you worry. I promise you, in the future, I will not do anything illegal or criminal, and I will absolutely not do anything to harm myself, this family, or this country."

I remember what my aunt said: My father and my grandfather loved this country with their lives. I will not let them down, nor will I let my aunt down.

I promise I will never do anything to worry you again!

Lin Ying also started crying: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm so stupid, I don't know how to raise children."

Haoyu shook his head: "Auntie is very good, exceptionally good. Besides Grandpa," as if thinking of something, Haoyu's gaze lingered for a moment before he continued, "She's the best person to me right now."

Lin Ying didn't understand what he meant and just thought he didn't want to talk about his grandfather's death.

"From now on, let's live a good life as a family, and you can be a happy child, okay?"

Haoyu's eyes were a little red. This was the first time someone had spoken to him like this. Everyone else told him to understand and be considerate. Only in front of Lin Ying did she let him be a happy child.

Lin Ying knew that Haoyu was a good kid, and he would definitely do what he promised.

Perhaps this is like putting a tight band around Haoyu's neck, but she only hopes that he can keep wearing this tight band until he grows up and becomes sensible.

Lin Ying's pregnancy has indeed disrupted many of their plans, even though she is only two months pregnant.

Because Zhao Qinghuai doesn't spend much time at home, he has already started preparing for the winter.

Not only that, Zhao Qinghuai also made arrangements with Deng Li, telling her that if Lin Ying needed anything and he wasn't home, the children should go to Deng Li.

The baby didn't seem to be reacting much in her belly, but it seemed even Er Ya knew she was pregnant and wouldn't let her hold her anymore.

He started sleeping alone at night, saying he was afraid of hurting Lin Ying's stomach.

Suddenly, Lin Ying became the one who was protected in the family.

Several children were eager to be the "adult".

Everyone kept a very strict eye on her.

Lin Ying was both amused and exasperated, but she also enjoyed this "strictness."

Nowadays, apart from baby formula, Lin Ying has entrusted Haoyu with the responsibility of taking care of everything else at home.

Their family is not short of money, nor do they lack food or other necessities.

Therefore, when they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, Haoyu would pull the cart, and the three siblings would go together.

However, every time they come back, Haoyu pulls them from the front, Shuanzi pushes them from behind, and Er Ya sits on top of them.

What Lin Ying did was to exchange the grains and other items that Hao Yu had bought for items in her spatial storage.

Lin Ying will still do the cooking, so that she will have more opportunities to do the work.

In September, Wang Shan's partner finally arrived, and Wang Shan no longer had to worry about things in the army on his own.

Ever since the news broke that there was a tiger in Lin Ying's house, no children come here except when Xiao Shuai and the others are on holiday.

Because of health reasons, I was always sleepy and didn't go out.

That day, the three children went out to play together, but they ran back home not long afterward.

Haoyu's face was full of terror, while Shuanzi was excited.

Upon seeing Lin Ying, before Haoyu could even speak, Shuanzi said first, "Auntie, my brother's mother is alive! She crawled out of the ground. Does that mean my parents can crawl out of the ground too? I want them to crawl out, I don't want to only be able to talk to my parents through this sign. I can't hear anything they say to me."

Lin Ying looked at Haoyu, and then heard someone outside shout, "Xiaoyuan, Mom saw you! Mom knows you're inside. Can you come out and see Mom? Mom is really worried about you."

Lin Ying paused when she saw Hao Yu's body, and guessed that the person might really be Hao Yu's mother.

Lin Ying looked at him: "Do you want to acknowledge her?"

Haoyu shook his head vigorously: "She doesn't want me anymore. I don't want her either."

Lin Ying nodded: "Okay, let's go, let's go out together. Don't worry, she can't take you away."

With that, Lin Ying took Haoyu's hand and walked out.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

At this time, Lin Ying's belly was just beginning to show and hadn't changed much. In addition, she had lost a lot of weight recently and was only just recovering. Plus, Lin Ying was naturally beautiful.

With the space to nurture her and her own care, her health naturally improved, her skin became better, she looked better, and her temperament improved. This made Pei Zhen, who had grown up in the compound, unable to resist being jealous at first glance.

"Who are you? Why is my son in your house?"

Lin Ying frowned upon seeing the woman: "You know this is my home? How rude! I thought this was your home. If you're looking for your son, go look at your home. I don't have your son here."

Pei Zhen suppressed her anger as she thought about what was on her mind: "The child next to you is my son, Gu Ruiyuan. I've been looking for him for more than half a year since his grandfather passed away. Give my son back to me now."

Lin Ying looked at the woman before her, and instead of the joy of seeing her son again, her tears seemed to betray an impatience. She was certain that this woman wanted the child not because she was the child's mother and worried about his safety, but for some other purpose.

Lin Ying hugged Haoyu's shoulders tightly and said firmly, "This is my son, you've got the wrong person."

After Lin Ying finished speaking, she noticed Dao Haoyu's body stiffen, as if he hadn't expected her to say that.

Pei Zhen snorted coldly and took out a photo from her bag. The photo showed a young Haoyu with her. "This is the evidence. What do you have to say now?" Lin Ying took the photo and glanced at it, but still said calmly, "What can a photo prove? Don't all children look alike? Besides, your photo is so blurry."

Seeing Lin Ying's disbelief, Pei Zhen added, "I know he has a birthmark on the inside of his left arm, shaped like a maple leaf. You can check if you don't believe me." Lin Ying looked at Hao Yu, who nodded slightly, indicating that it was true. Lin Ying's heart sank, but she still said:

"Then you're wrong. My son doesn't have any birthmarks."

Pei Zhen naturally didn't believe it: "I don't believe it unless you make him roll up his sleeves and let me see."

Lin Ying laughed: "Why should I? Don't say my son doesn't have a birthmark. Even if he did, there are so many people in this world who look alike, it's normal for someone to have a similar birthmark. Just because you say it's your child doesn't mean it is."

Pei Zhen retorted angrily, "Do you think I can't even recognize my own son? You say this is your son, but he went missing during the Lunar New Year. Whether you are the child's mother or not is obvious if you just ask anyone."
