Chapter 181 Well-Informed
Grandma Gu was in the bedroom with the little guy, watching him play with his two little hands clasped together.
After Gu Yihan returned home, she parked her bicycle, found a clean porcelain basin, poured in warm water, and carefully wiped the area with a towel.
She walked into the bedroom with a smile: "Grandma, did Hao Hao make a fuss?"
"Don't be silly, our Hao Hao is here to repay a debt of gratitude," Grandma Gu said with a smile, stroking the little guy's toes.
Gu Yihan smiled upon hearing this, worried that the little one might be fussy in February when he was just a month old.
She woke up and slept with the little one, and was worried that their days and nights would be reversed, but nothing happened, and the little one slept very peacefully at night.
Gu Yihan picked up the baby and was just about to unbutton her clothes to breastfeed.
"You can't breastfeed!"
Gu Yihan was startled by her grandmother's anxious shouts and looked up at her: "Grandma, why can't I breastfeed?"
"Some of it needs to be squeezed out, otherwise it will be bad for Hao Hao's health if he drinks it."
After Grandma Gu finished speaking, she quickly took her grandson from her little granddaughter's hands.
Gu Yihan was stunned, but she believed that Grandma Gu would not harm her, so she got up and went to the washroom in the yard to start milking.
"young married woman."
Lu Huailin hadn't even entered the living room yet when he started shouting from the yard.
Gu Yihan was busy with her own things and didn't reply.
In the living room, Lu Huailin glanced at Grandma Gu, who was holding the child: "Grandma, where's my wife?"
Grandma Gu glanced at Lu Huailin, she simply couldn't bear to look at him.
When he gets home, instead of checking on the kids, he yells for his wife. Does she think she's gone?
"Going to milk the cows."
Milking? Lu Huailin knew what his wife had been doing, and placed the food he was carrying on the dining table.
Gu Yihan felt a little sorry for the milk that had been expressed, but luckily the little one wasn't picky about food and drank the formula quite well.
Lu Huailin had just brought the chicken soup that Grandma Gu had prepared in advance to the dining table when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw his wife coming in.
He hurried over and took her hand, saying, "Honey, from now on, we'll make some soup at home every night, and buy the leftovers from the army canteen."
Gu Yihan nodded with a smile.
She had no objections. Grandma Gu was already tired enough taking care of the little one, so doing less would allow her to rest more.
Seeing his wife nod, Lu Huailin turned around and took his son from Grandma Gu's arms, instructing, "Grandma, you and your wife eat first."
Grandma Gu smiled and replied, "Okay."
The family took turns having dinner in a lively atmosphere.
at night
Gu Yihan lay on the bed breastfeeding the baby, thinking about what happened at the entrance of the family compound this afternoon, and chatted with Lu Huailin.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin put down the book in his hand, frowned, glanced at his wife, and then sighed: "I know about this."
Gu Yi found it amusing: "How do you know everything?"
Lu Huailin walked to his wife's side and touched his son's cheek: "There was a midwife at the military hospital who swapped the babies of two military wives in the region."
Gu Yihan was stunned: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Lu Huailin: "You were in your postpartum period at the time, and hearing these things would have affected your mood."
Gu Yihan thought about it carefully and felt that the nurse surnamed Shi didn't seem like a good person: "Was that midwife's surname Shi?"
Lu Huailin nodded and hummed in agreement.
It's a pity that only one child was found. As for the other boy, the information registered at the hospital was fake, so there was no way to trace him.
The police went through quite a bit of trouble to find the child.
The family that exchanged the boy was surnamed Wu, and the couple happily took the child back to the village.
I always feel that having a son in the family makes it all worthwhile, and it also prevents others from criticizing us for having no descendants.
She would boast to everyone she met about how handsome and fair-skinned her son was.
Not long after, rumors spread in the village that his wife had cheated on him and had cuckolded the Wu family.
The Wu family has been as black as coal for generations, how could they possibly produce such a beautiful and fair-skinned baby?
Then when this man went out, people pointed at him and whispered about him.
He was so angry that he took it out on his wife and children when he got home. He felt even more ashamed when he saw his children, whose skin color was so different from his own.
I always felt that I wouldn't take care of my son in his old age since we're not related by blood.
Finally, he resold the child to a couple who couldn't have children, making another profit.
Gu Yihan thought of the middle-aged woman at the door, who seemed so anxious about the child; it must be that couple who couldn't have children.
"How is the Wu family doing?" Gu Yihan asked curiously.
Lu Huailin pinched his wife's smooth cheek: "Two years of labor reform."
Gu Yihan pouted: "They got off easy."
Gu Yihan looked down at the baby who was nursing, and after he fell asleep, she carefully pulled out the food.
Lu Huailin watched his wife's actions with a deep gaze, waiting for her to cover their son with a thin blanket.
I neatly laid a straw mat on the ground and then took a quilt from the closet and put it on top of it.
Before Gu Yihan could react, Lu Huailin picked her up and placed her on the soft blanket.
"Wife, do you miss me?"
Before she could react, he kissed her. Gu Yihan felt like she was branded alive, as Lu Huailin tormented her all night.
The next day
After Gu Yihan fed the little one.
He was startled when he opened the courtyard gate and saw Jiang Yue and Liu Aihua standing there.
"Have you been standing at the door for a while?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we just arrived."
Gu Yihan nodded and rode her bike with them towards the textile factory.
Sitting on Jiang Yue's bicycle, Liu Aihua was quite bored, so she made conversation by asking, "Sister-in-law, do you know Song Zhi?"
Gu Yihan: "We know each other, so what?"
"Her child was switched at the hospital, and now the news has spread throughout the family compound."
Gu Yihan: "Really? What about her daughter?"
Yesterday, Lu Huailin said that the man surnamed Wu definitely wouldn't want that girl, since his family already had seven daughters.
Liu Aihua sighed, "I raised him for several months, and it turns out he's not my biological child."
Jiang Yue: "That's right. If my child had been switched, my husband Cheng would have to chop those culprits to pieces with a knife."
Gu Yihan didn't hear what she wanted to know, so she asked again, "Is the girl still at Comrade Song's house?"
Liu Aihua clicked her tongue and shook her head: "How could that be? Song Zhi now wishes she could strangle that girl."
"It was her mother-in-law who cried and begged her to give the child to that middle-aged woman to raise."
Gu Yihan: "..."
What kind of cycle is this?
Jiang Yue: "The main reason is that this baby girl has been taken care of by Comrade Song's mother-in-law since she turned one month old, so they've developed feelings for her."
Gu Yihan glanced at Jiang Yue. She remembered that Lu Huailin had said that Cheng Changzheng's housing application was the same as theirs, a small courtyard house.
He laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you two are very well-informed."
Jiang Yue smiled slightly. Lu Huailin was young, and he could still rise in rank. It was impossible for him to stay in the Kuncheng Military Region for a long time in the future.
Therefore, Gu Yihan never visits other families in the military compound, nor does she try to connect with other military spouses, so it doesn't affect anything.
But Lao Cheng in their family is different. He rose from a rural soldier to deputy regimental commander, a position he earned with his life, and he's getting older.
My biggest wish is to fill the vacancy of the regimental commander when Lu Huailin leaves.
Therefore, she absolutely could not be late in getting any information she could from the family compound.
