Chapter 183 The Wicked Mother-in-Law
After leaving the state-run restaurant, Grandma Gu rubbed her full stomach.
She muttered softly, "Xiao Han, whatever you want to eat in the future, Grandma will make it for you."
Gu Yihan knew that Grandma Gu was worried about the money, so she smiled and said, "Grandma, just tell me if it's delicious or not?"
Grandma Gu glanced at her granddaughter. How could it not taste good?
The dishes prepared by the chefs at the state-run restaurants are far superior to those made by these country women.
Gu Yihan felt a little tired, so she switched arms to hold the little one.
Grandma Gu frowned: "Why hasn't Xiao Lu arrived yet?"
Since jeeps weren't allowed to park in front of the state-run restaurant, Lu Huailin parked his car at the nearby police station.
Grandma Gu looked at Hao Hao in her granddaughter's arms, who was staring at his surroundings with wide eyes, neither crying nor fussing.
She reached out and patted him: "Xiao Han, let me hold Hao Hao for a while."
Gu Yihan quickly shook her head. The little guy was over three months old, had enough nutrition, and weighed 17 pounds.
I finally managed to take Grandma Gu out, and I didn't want to tire her out.
Another ten minutes or so passed before Lu Huailin was seen running towards them.
"Does it really take this long to drive?"
Lu Huailin quickly took his son from his wife and explained, "We ran into some people from the military and chatted for a while, which caused the delay."
Then he added, "My wife has something to tell me."
Gu Yihan looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What is it?"
Lu Huailin held the child in one arm and his wife's hand in the other: "Battalion Commander Xu wants his wife to come back with us, and I agreed."
Gu Yihan nodded. They were all in the same unit, and since the other party had spoken, they couldn't very well refuse.
The group quickly arrived at the parking area.
Gu Yihan was quite surprised to see Song Zhi standing next to the jeep holding a child.
Hearing footsteps, Song Zhi turned around and saw Gu Yihan, greeting her with a smile, "Xiaohan."
"Oh oh oh..."
The little one in Lu Huailin's arms began to speak baby talk to the child in Song Zhi's arms.
Unfortunately, the little guy glanced at her and then turned to rest his head on Song Zhi's shoulder.
Gu Yihan took the child from Lu Huailin and said with a smile, "Sister Song, your child is so cute."
Song Zhi looked happy. Although Gu Yihan's child was also very good, she still thought her own child was the best.
After everyone got into the car, Gu Yihan wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but the little one in her arms started crying with his mouth open.
There was nothing else I could do but hold him and sit in the back with Song Zhi.
"Oh..."
Gu Yihan was amused to see the little one constantly greeting Song Zhihuai's child.
“Your little one is so lively,” Song Zhi said with a smile.
Gu Yihan looked at the little guy with affection and nodded in agreement.
She dared not say anything about her child, for fear of provoking a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Song Zhi patted her son, who was sitting obediently, and sighed: "Xiao Han, you've heard about what happened in my family, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked up at her.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Song Zhi said, "My mother-in-law has always wanted me to bring the girl back, saying that our family will then have both a son and a daughter."
Gu Yihan's eyes widened. She had simply encountered a freak. In this day and age, there were still outsiders who liked to raise the child who had harmed their own grandchildren?
Song Zhi scoffed, "Don't you find it ridiculous?"
Grandma Gu: "Your mother-in-law is the same, isn't she afraid of raising an ungrateful child?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
He regretted his quick tongue; his granddaughter wasn't related to him by blood, but he would still take care of her in her old age.
Gu Yihan didn't think that much about it, but Song Zhiqu was her own mother-in-law.
She wasn't familiar with the other person, so she couldn't just casually respond.
After all, they are family.
"Her parents swapped my child and now they want me to support her? I'll only do that if I die," Song Zhi said through gritted teeth.
Lu Huailin would occasionally glance back at his wife while driving.
His wife is smart; she never talks about family matters in front of outsiders.
Family scandals should not be aired in public.
When Grandma Gu saw Lu Huailin's furtive glance, she was terrified!
I'm afraid he might accidentally drive this big iron box into the ditch.
He instructed, "Watch it however you like when you get home."
Lu Huailin's ears turned red instantly.
Song Zhi couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Grandma Gu said.
He joked, "Commander Lu seems to really like you."
Gu Yihan glanced at Song Zhi and laughed, "Your Battalion Commander Xu must also like you, otherwise how did you get that chubby-faced son?"
After returning home
Gu Yihan put the sleeping little one on the bed, washed up, and then lay down on the bed herself. She was exhausted after the day.
Lu Huailin entered the bedroom and saw that his wife was asleep. He carefully opened the closet to pack his luggage.
Gu Yihan vaguely heard noises inside the room, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Huailin packing his things.
She sat up and said softly, "Are you going on a mission?"
Lu Huailin walked to his wife's side and hugged her tightly.
"Honey, this mission will take a while. You and our son stay home and wait for me to come back."
Gu Yihan hugged him back, unable to contain her worry.
She had a feeling that this mission would be dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth, quickly got out of bed, and pretended to take a bottle of glass medicine from the cabinet and hand it to him.
"This is what the little hamster gave me before it left. It can speed up wound healing, so use it sparingly."
Lu Huailin gripped the medicine tightly, put one arm around his wife, and kissed her affectionately.
A deep voice rang out: "Wife, don't worry."
After saying that, she picked up her packed luggage and walked out of the bedroom.
Since Lu Huailin left, Gu Yihan had been listless for several days.
Grandma Gu uses the limited ingredients to cook a variety of delicious meals for her every day.
That evening, right after dinner...
"Thump, thump, thump."
The door to the courtyard was knocked loudly. Grandma Gu got dressed and opened the door to find Zhao Ju's husband standing there.
"Grandma Gu, is your sister-in-law resting?" Shi Jianguo asked anxiously.
"Is something wrong?" Grandma Gu asked, puzzled.
"My wife has given birth, and we don't have enough breast milk. I'd like to ask my sister-in-law to lend us some formula."
Shi Jianguo was also extremely angry. He never expected that after his wife gave birth to two daughters...
His mother not only showed up uninvited, but also took advantage of his absence to steal everything in the house and run away.
He even took away the milk powder he had prepared for the children, which made Zhao Ju so angry that her milk production stopped.
The baby was crying loudly because he couldn't get milk.
Upon hearing Shi Jianguo's voice, Gu Yihan quickly got dressed, knowing that something must have happened to Zhao Ju.
After hearing his words, she turned around and went back to the bedroom to take out two cans of milk powder and handed them to him.
Shi Jianguo excitedly accepted the milk powder, bowed to Gu Yihan in gratitude, and choked up as he said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Gu Yihan waved her hand: "Stop talking so much, Sister Ju must be getting anxious at home."
Shi Jianguo nodded and hummed in agreement, then hurriedly turned and left.
Grandma Gu watched his departing figure and closed the door.
She sighed, "How could there be such a vicious mother-in-law?"
Gu Yihan smiled. There are all kinds of people in this world.
