Chapter 269 Be careful she depends on you

Aunt Xu patiently explained the situation to Li Lai Di. Li Lai Di understood, but she felt sorry for her son.

Li Lai Di started to cry loudly, but crying for herself was useless and crying for her child's miserable life.

Aunt Xu heard her cry twice and reacted. She first looked at her grandson in her arms to see if he was crying. When she saw that he was not crying, she growled, "Shut up."

"Now you know there's no point in crying. It's your own fault that you don't have milk. Who should you blame? Blame yourself."

Aunt Xu had wanted to say this a long time ago, but for the sake of the baby in Li Lai Di's belly, she had been holding it in. Later, when Li Lai Di gave birth, she did not say it in order to let her take care of herself after the baby's confinement.

Since Li Lai Di didn't want to take good care of herself during the confinement period, Aunt Xu was not going to tolerate her.

"You're about to give birth, why don't you stay at home and meddle in other people's affairs? Do you think everyone will give you face? Why should they give you face? Just because you are thick-skinned?"

"When others are in trouble, you don't go to help them. When there is a benefit, you should go to help them. They don't owe you anything."

"It's you who took advantage of others and you're not grateful. No matter what, everyone has to give in to you. You're not destined to have that."

Li Lai Di was stunned by what Aunt Xu said, but Aunt Xu continued talking.

"Who should you blame for having a baby but no milk? Blame yourself. You fell down because of it. You should think about it when your baby has no milk. Why do you always blame others? Do they owe you something?"

"Even if Qi Mengmeng lends you the milk powder coupons this time, what about in the future? Will she lend them to you in the future? Your son is someone else's? They don't owe you anything."

Aunt Xu concluded, "If you want to live your life, live it. If you don't want to live your life, leave. Don't act like others owe you something."

After saying this, Aunt Xu took the child to another room. Li Laidie had no milk anyway, so there was no point in leaving the child with her.

Li Lai Di watched Aunt Xu leave with the child in her arms and did not dare to say anything.

Although she didn't know that she was infertile, she didn't dare to make a fuss because her lack of milk cost her family a lot of money.

Although Xu Daming treated her well, Xu Gui was only less than a month old and had already consumed several bags of milk powder. If she continued to consume this amount, the cost would be high.

They are originally from the countryside and don't have much wealth. If they keep eating it, even if they can afford it, their wealth will be used up.

Li Lai Di felt particularly guilty, so she thought of borrowing milk powder coupons from Qi Mengmeng. After all, with the coupons, milk powder would be much cheaper.

It would have been better if Qi Mengmeng was willing to buy milk powder for Xu Gui, but Li Laidi didn't expect Aunt Xu to get angry and take the child away.

Li Lai Di really didn’t think she had done anything wrong. She did it all for her family.

They were shouting quite loudly, and although Qi Mengmeng heard some noise, she didn't take it to heart.

She said she wouldn't find milk powder for them and she wouldn't, no matter who said so.

Fortunately, although Li Lai Di was not clear-headed, Aunt Xu and Xu Daming were still clear-headed.

Xu Daming knew that if he went to Gu Guizhi, Gu Guizhi would probably lend him the milk powder coupons, but he didn't feel comfortable asking him to go to Qi Mengmeng.

Moreover, borrowing milk powder coupons was not a long-term solution after all. A comrade-in-arms gave him an idea and asked him to go to the village to look for dairy sheep.

In the end, Xu Daming went to the village to find the village party secretary and bought a pound of goat milk from the village every day.

However, these have nothing to do with Qi Mengmeng. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and she doesn't want to go through the trouble, so she lives in the city most of the time.

Gu Guizhi originally said he would come back in the fall, but he didn't come back until the end of August.

Qi Mengmeng didn't know if there was a problem with the mission or if there were some temporary changes to the mission, but she couldn't ask about such things, so she could only wait patiently.

It was not until the end of September that Gu Guizhi came back. He had lost ten pounds and looked much darker, but he did not seem to have suffered any injuries.

This time, Gu Guizhi first went to the military region to make a report before returning to the city. He went to a state-owned restaurant to buy a lot of food before going to the food factory to pick up Qi Mengmeng.

After work, Qi Mengmeng walked out with Master Li. The two were talking when she saw Gu Guizhi out of the corner of her eye. She was stunned for a moment, and when she looked over again, she had forgotten what she was going to say.

Master Li was about to remind her when Qi Mengmeng pushed her bicycle and ran outside quickly.

The lines on Gu Guizhi's face softened a little, and he held onto Qi Mengmeng's bicycle.

"Be careful."

Qi Mengmeng stopped her bike and threw herself into Gu Guizhi's arms: "You're back."

Gu Guizhi's eyes were full of tenderness. He held Qi Mengmeng in one hand and said, "I'm back."

Although Gu Guizhi was not wearing a military uniform today, his image was really eye-catching. In addition, he was holding Qi Mengmeng in his arms, and everyone coming out of the food factory looked over here.

Master Li also came out at this time, walked to their side happily and greeted Gu Guizhi.

"Guizhi, are you here to pick up Mengmeng from get off work?"

Qi Mengmeng came back to her senses when she heard Master Li's voice. She turned her head and found that many people were looking at them. Her face flushed, and she came out of Gu Guizhi's arms and glared at him.

Gu Guizhi's expression did not change at all. He said to Master Li, "I bought some food. Master Li, let's go to my house tonight to eat together."

Master Li knew that Gu Guizhi would be away for a long time this time and the young couple missed each other, so he didn't go over to offend them.

Gu Guizhi invited them sincerely, but Master Li really didn't want to disturb the two of them. In the end, Gu Guizhi could only ask Master Li to have dinner together in a few days.

Master Li agreed with a smile, then rode away on his bike.

Gu Guizhi asked Qi Mengmeng to sit on the bicycle first, and then he rode it.

Gu Guizhi whispered, "The road is not easy to walk on, hold my waist."

Qi Mengmeng walks this road every day, so how could she not know whether it is easy to walk on it or not? But she did not refute and put her arm around Gu Guizhi's waist.

Gu Guizhi exerted force and the bicycle spun rapidly. Qi Mengmeng was caught off guard and hugged Gu Guizhi tightly.

Qi Mengmeng's angry voice seemed to be heard in the wind. Qin Nian stared at the direction where Qi Mengmeng and Gu Guizhi left. Why, why could Qi Mengmeng live so happily.

Qin Nian took a few steps forward and almost tripped over a stone on the ground. She couldn't help but pull the person next to her.

A colleague supported her and said, "You have a bulging belly, so walk carefully."

Qin Nian looked at her four or five month old belly with disgust in her eyes. She said nothing, pushed away the people around her, and walked in another direction.

There were voices behind her saying, "Why are you helping her? Be careful she might get dependent on you."

"I just saw that her belly was a little big and I was worried that she would fall."

"You'd better stay away from her. I heard that the baby in her belly is not her man's. Be careful that she might want to get rid of the baby and blame it on you."

"No way?"

"Why not? You'd better stay away from her."

Qin Nian pursed her lips and walked faster.
