Chapter 185 Baby Teeth
Gu Yihan felt a pang of sadness as she left Zhao Ju's house.
Fortunately, she only had one child, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to manage.
When the two little ones started crying, they really screamed at the top of their lungs, like a competition to see who could shout the loudest.
"Heavens above, what sins have I committed? I raised her with good food and drink, and now that she's married, she wants to sever ties with her family."
Gu Yihan heard the cursing coming from ahead and thought it sounded just like Su Yonghong's voice.
I jogged a few steps
A crowd of onlookers had gathered at the entrance of her courtyard.
Aunt Chen was watching the commotion when she saw Gu Yihan in the crowd and immediately waved her hand.
Gu Yihan walked along the wall to her side and looked towards the source of the sound.
It really was Su Yonghong who was cursing; she was sitting on the door of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's house, slapping her thigh and wailing.
Gu Yihan looked at Aunt Chen and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
While cracking sunflower seeds, Aunt Chen sighed, "Zhang Xia is such a pitiful child. She has no job and was forced to go to the countryside. Her family also favors boys over girls."
"Yeah, this isn't your family home, it's a living devil! He wants Zhang Xia dead as soon as he opens his mouth," Li Xia complained.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother put her hands on her hips and shouted, "What utter nonsense! Who would dare to acknowledge a family like yours?"
Su Yonghong said matter-of-factly, "My family raised her for almost twenty years. How can she sever ties with her family just because she married into your family?"
"Believe it or not, I'll report you to the Revolutionary Committee for instigating Zhang Xia to be unfilial."
"Bah! Go ahead and report me if you dare! I want to see if the Revolutionary Committee dares to come to the family compound!" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang roared, jumping up and down.
With her protruding belly, Zhang Xia carefully walked to the side of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother and whispered to comfort her, "Mother, don't get upset and harm your health."
She then turned to Su Yonghong, shrank her neck, and said weakly, "Mother, are you trying to force your daughter to her death?"
Su Yonghong trembled with anger at Zhang Xia's words: "I raised you all these years, how could you be so selfish! You don't even care about your parents' lives!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother saw that this old woman was determined to suck blood from her son.
He strode up to Su Yonghong and, taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, slapped her across the face.
Su Yonghong was stunned for a moment after being hit, but after realizing what had happened, he grabbed the arm of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother and hit her back.
Gu Yihan was completely baffled when she saw the two of them fighting!
He whispered to the person next to him, "What were they arguing about?"
Li Xia glanced at Gu Yihan and said with a smile, "Zhang Xia's mother wants to borrow 800 yuan from Zhang Xia, and she won't even write an IOU."
Gu Yihan: "..."
Has Su Yonghong lost his mind?
Zhang Xia doesn't have a job, so how could she possibly have that much money? Isn't this clearly asking Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's family to pay for it?
The military wives watching the scene quickly pulled away Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother and Su Yonghong, determined not to let the military family suffer under their noses.
Pulled apart, Su Yonghong grabbed Zhang Xia and demanded, "Do you want your parents' family or your husband's family?"
Zhang Xia stumbled as Su Yonghong pulled her, her face pale as she clutched her stomach.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body swayed precariously like a pure white flower.
He seemed to be shouting at her with all his might, "Mother, can you please stop forcing me?"
After yelling, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto Su Yonghong's body, feeling weak.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother was startled and quickly called over several familiar military wives to help Zhang Xia back home.
Before leaving, he turned to Su Yonghong and roared, "You just wait, if anything happens to my grandson, I won't let you off the hook."
After saying that, she rushed home anxiously, worried that her beloved grandson, whom she had longed for for many years, was gone.
This scene left Gu Yihan dumbfounded. She muttered, "Can a person control the direction they fall when they're unconscious?"
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the people around glanced at Su Yonghong, who was standing there in a daze, and pursed their lips. After a while, the crowd gradually dispersed.
After Su Yonghong's thoughts returned to normal.
Seeing Gu Yihan standing not far away, his face turned extremely ugly. He glared at her, his arm trembling as he turned and left.
The next day
Gu Yihan held her baby while breastfeeding and eating breakfast.
Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through my chest, and I almost cried out in pain.
Looking down, I saw the little one was giggling after finishing her bite.
Grandma Gu noticed her granddaughter's red eyes and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Grandma Gu's question only made things worse, as Gu Yihan burst into tears, saying aggrievedly, "Grandma, the little guy must have bitten me."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu quickly picked up Lu Chenhao and carefully examined his gums, discovering a bulge.
She looked at her granddaughter with amusement: "It's okay, Hao Hao is starting to teethe, he's biting you to grind his teeth!"
Gu Yihan's bite wound still hurts, and she asked with lingering fear, "Grandma, is there any way to prevent him from biting people while drinking milk?"
Grandma Gu smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, it'll be fine in a few days. Once Hao Hao's baby teeth come in, he won't bite you anymore."
Gu Yihan looked at Grandma Gu suspiciously, feeling that she was being fooled.
It hurts this much even when it's biting before its teeth have grown in; imagine how much it will hurt when its baby teeth start to come in...
No, Gu Yihan shook her head. In another month, the little guy will be six months old, and then she can wean him directly.
Textile factory
When Gu Yihan stepped into the office, only Sister Min and Hu Shan were inside. She glanced at Su Yonghong's empty desk with a puzzled look.
He asked in confusion, "Did Sister Su take leave?"
Minjie said gloatingly, "I heard he broke his arm. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so he probably won't be able to come back to work for a long time."
Gu Yihan thought of how Zhang Xia had fainted on Su Yonghong yesterday, and how she had instinctively supported her. Hadn't she been crushed by the weight?
Are your arms that fragile?
Upon hearing Minjie's words, Hu Shan's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful!"
Hu Shan looked up and saw that both Sister Min and Gu Yihan were looking at her. She said apologetically, "Sister Su, I don't know what's wrong with her, she always seems to target me."
Minjie chuckled and said, "She wasn't like this before. I wonder if it's because she's getting older and her mind is becoming more and more confused."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan wondered if it was menopause.
Considering that Su Yonghong is almost forty years old, not yet menopause, it's unlikely that she's experiencing menopause prematurely.
With one less depressing person in the office, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
At this time, Gu Yihan was unaware that the Lu family in Beijing was causing trouble again.
