Chapter 148 Miaomiao Opens the Door
Time flies
Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin bought train tickets for 7 p.m. to return to Kunming.
In the bedroom
Sitting on the bed, Lu's mother sighed, reached out and held Gu Yihan's hand, feeling very reluctant to part with her. She hadn't even been back for a few days before she had to go back.
A few months later, the younger daughter-in-law was about to give birth. Because the baby was small, the couple would not be able to return to Beijing for several years.
I haven't retired yet, so I can only wait until I'm less busy to see if I have time to go and take a look.
She carefully instructed, "I'll send the down comforter, sheets, and the sweater I knitted for you that I bought at the Friendship Store to Kunming tomorrow."
Gu Yihan smiled and responded to Lu's mother's kindness. During the days that Fang Yi had not returned to the Lu family, they had gotten along very well.
Except when Miaomiao cries for her mother and Brother Lu patiently comforts her, Lu's mother will remain silent for a long time, feeling sorry for her.
Gu Yihan thought that if the two of them hadn't returned to Beijing, the conflicts at home might not have erupted so quickly.
Looking at Gu Yihan's belly with a worried expression, Lu's mother realized that she didn't have time to take care of her during her postpartum period, so she could only make up for it in other ways.
"I'll save the cloth coupons here, along with the milk powder and other things, and mail them to you together once I've exchanged them online."
"Don't do any of the heavy work around the house, let Huailin do it all, and you just focus on taking good care of your health."
Gu Yihan pulled herself out of her thoughts and listened patiently to what Lu's mother was saying. Although she had never given birth, she still knew common sense.
She wasn't worried about her health, as she drank water from the space all year round. Her only concern was her child, because there were many cases of babies being switched or switched at birth during this period.
Lu Huailin was packing his belongings when he heard his mother's nagging and chuckled, "Mom, don't worry, I'll take good care of my wife."
Lu's mother glared at Lu Huailin and said irritably, "You grown men, how can you be so meticulous?"
In the living room
The little girl, Miaomiao, was lying on the sofa, flipping through a comic book.
“Vast and insignificant”.
Suddenly, she heard someone call her name. She tilted her head and listened carefully for a while. It was Fang Yi's voice, and her eyes lit up.
He jumped off the sofa and ran out with his short legs.
Miaomiao's round eyes peeked at Fang Yi through the crack in the door, and she called out happily, "Mommy."
Fang Yi stood outside the door, looking at her daughter inside, and asked softly, "Miaomiao, is Grandma home?"
Miaomiao stood on tiptoe, stretching out her little arms, trying to move the door latch. She was too weak, and after trying for a while, she couldn't move it an inch.
She pouted, her eyes reddening, but still managed to answer Fang Yi's question: "Mom, Grandma is talking to Auntie."
The little finger pointed behind the door and said aggrievedly, "The door can't be opened."
Fang Yi saw Miao Miao with red eyes and a wronged look on her face, and felt extremely sorry for her. She gently coaxed her, "It's okay, if you can't open it, you can't open it."
"Mom just misses Miaomiao and wants to see her."
The little girl's tears fell drop by drop; she looked so pitiful, having not seen her mother for several days.
No one tells her stories or cuddles her to sleep at night.
The little girl, Miaomiao, sobbed softly and said to Fang Yi outside the door, "Mom, wait for me."
After saying that, he ran back to the living room with his short legs, but after looking around, he couldn't find anything suitable to step on.
She went to the kitchen again, brought out the small stool that Aunt He usually sat on while picking vegetables, and staggered to the door.
She placed her little feet on the stool, pushed hard on the door latch with both hands, and finally it moved. She was overjoyed.
Fang Yi waited until Miao Miao moved the small stool away before she pushed open the door.
He bent down and picked up Miaomiao, kissing her smooth little face warmly, and coaxed her softly, "Miaomiao, did you miss Mommy?"
Miaomiao rested her little head on Fang Yi's shoulder and whispered, "Yes, Miaomiao misses her mom so much."
After Fang Yi closed the door with Miao Miao in her arms, she carried her directly into the living room and sat on the sofa.
"How about Mommy discusses something with Miaomiao?"
Miao Miao raised her head, looked at Fang Yi, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Fang Yi stroked her daughter's cheek, thinking for several days. Since she hadn't gained any benefits from separating the family, why did she choose to separate?
Aunt He cooks for her in the military compound, and she doesn't have to pay for her own living expenses. As for whether she can stay, that depends on Miaomiao.
"When you see your aunt later, Miaomiao, go and hug her leg, cry and beg your aunt to let your mom stay, okay?"
Miaomiao was too young to understand the adults' intricacies and didn't comprehend why her mother made her hug her aunt's leg and cry.
She kept squirming her little body, expressing her dissatisfaction, and muttered, "I don't want to be held."
Seeing that Miaomiao was disobedient, Fang Yi's expression turned cold, and she simply put her on the sofa.
She glared at Miaomiao sternly and threatened, "If you don't listen to your mother, you'll never see her again."
Miaomiao was stunned by Fang Yi's gaze.
Seeing that Miaomiao could be so distracted, Fang Yi got angry and slapped her on the bottom.
Because it was winter, Miaomiao was dressed warmly. Although she wasn't in pain, it still frightened her.
She opened her little mouth and burst into tears with a "waaaah..."
Second floor
Hearing Miaomiao's crying, Lu's mother was startled and immediately got up and went downstairs.
Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin exchanged a glance and quickly went downstairs one after the other.
As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw Fang Yi standing there, holding the crying Miao Miao and gently comforting her.
When Lu's mother saw Gu Yihan come downstairs, her face stiffened. She now knew that her two daughters-in-law probably didn't get along.
Fang Yi gently patted Miao Miao's back, then smiled at Gu Yihan after glancing at her, as if the unpleasantness between them had never happened.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, it's just that you're being too petty."
Gu Yihan gave her a cold look and didn't reply.
At this moment, Miaomiao struggled in Fang Yi's arms, still remembering her mother's instructions.
The little girl ran crying to Gu Yihan as soon as her feet touched the ground, grabbing her hand and crying out, "Second Aunt, please let my mother go!"
Upon hearing Miao Miao's words, Fang Yi stood stiffly beside the sofa, nearly spitting blood in anger. That wasn't how she taught her child.
In the living room, Gu Yihan, Lu's mother, and Lu Huailin were all shocked by what Miaomiao said.
Lu's mother glared fiercely at Fang Yi, but when she saw Miao Miao crying uncontrollably, her heart ached terribly.
Gu Yihan was speechless. She was extremely grateful that she didn't live in Beijing. She touched the little girl's face and said, "Auntie is leaving today."
The implication was that whether Fang Yi stayed or not was none of his business.
This is related to Lu's parents. Gu Yihan has already heard from Lu Huailin that Lu's father asked Lu's eldest brother to move out, which is equivalent to dividing the family property.
Miao Miao didn't understand what her aunt's departure had to do with whether her mother could stay or not, so she could only turn to look at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi met her daughter's bewildered gaze and felt incredibly embarrassed.
Meeting Gu Yihan's ambiguous smile, he blurted out, "I didn't teach her."
