Faced with such a result, Mai Henian and others could only grit their teeth and accept defeat.
They had no intention of mobilizing the residents of the North Courtyard who had already been bribed to cause trouble.
He is just greedy, not stupid. Why would he offend those people in the working group for no reason?
It is clear that the working group believes that the Zhang side is easier to "get along with".
However, no one in the working group mentioned the source of Mai Henian's funds again.
Mai Henian dejectedly avoided the street vendors who were looking for him and rode his bike back to his own compound.
Coincidentally, when he pushed the cart into the door, he saw the gate railings of the heavily guarded community not far away were lifted up.
Thinking of the families living in the inner area, Mai Henian shook his head enviously.
A women's bicycle passed by him. On the bicycle was a graceful woman in her late twenties. She just nodded to the guard and rode into the inner area.
Mai Henian was slightly stunned.
It’s not a festival, why did the daughter of this family come back to her parents’ home?
Besides, at this point, we should be at work.
The lady's bicycle turned a few corners on the tree-lined avenue in the inner district and stopped in front of a semi-old two-story building.
The elegant woman put on her bag and walked in a bit anxiously.
In the lobby of the small building.
Ning Yumin didn't go to work. He lay on the sofa with a frown on his face, in a daze.
His mother looked up the stairs with a worried look on her face.
Hearing footsteps outside the hall, the mother and son turned around and saw that it was their eldest daughter returning.
"Mom, how is Xiao Jiang?"
Ning Yumei threw her bag away and grabbed her mother's hand anxiously.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Ning's mother pointed upstairs, and the worry between her brows became more and more intense.
"I still have no appetite. I just keep staring blankly."
Ning Yumei slapped her brother in annoyance.
"Your spouse is in a daze, so why are you in a daze too? Have you consulted a doctor? What did he say...?"
Ning Yumin nodded woodenly.
"The doctor checked, and Lingyu's main problem is anemia, but the root cause of her condition is still..."
He pointed to his head.
"It's called prenatal depression."
Ning Yumei was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet.
"Xiao Jiang was fine for the first four months of her pregnancy, why did she suddenly become depressed?"
Ning Yumin smiled bitterly.
"She grew up in an orphanage and never had a good life. She always said marrying me was marrying up, and she was already worried about the outcome. And this time, her pregnancy delayed her college graduation."
Ning's mother also sighed.
"Xiao Jiang's character, appearance, and academic performance are all impeccable, but he's a little too worried."
"Don't underestimate her because she looks weak and gentle. She is actually very strong at heart."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to that place in the Northeast and still been able to pass the exam to come to Beijing."
"I think she probably thought that this university qualification was the only thing she truly held in her hands. So after she found out she was pregnant and that her graduation would be delayed, she's been very upset."
"But recently there's been a rumor that there will be changes to the age, marriage, and pregnancy status of future university students. It's said that university students will no longer be allowed to get married, or they'll be expelled."
"Something has been wrong with Xiao Jiang since that day."
Ning Yumei hurriedly looked at her brother.
"Is this news true?"
Ning Yumin nodded first and then shook his head, his bitter smile becoming even wider.
"It's true, but we haven't decided when it will be implemented. But it's certain it won't be applied to students taking exams in 1977, 1978, or this year. But she just doesn't believe it, ah~~."
"What should I do?"
"I borrowed a car today and picked up two of her female educated youth comrades who also got into Beijing University," Ning Yumin pointed upstairs. "We've been chatting for two hours now. She looks much better than yesterday."
......
Chen Beilei and Lu Yan curiously put their ears to Chu Miaohong's belly and listened.
Chu Miaohong looked at the two of them with amusement, and ignored them, simply reaching out to play with Chen Beilei's long hair that had grown again.
"Hey, why are your two babies so quiet?"
Lu Yan muttered.
"It's so fun to see the thing in Xiao Jiang's belly moving."
Chu Miaohong laughed.
"I'm only three months pregnant, so I'm not surprised to see fetal movement. Xiao Jiang's should be almost five months pregnant, so it's not surprising to see fetal movement."
Lu Yan looked up at Chu Miaohong's face with envy.
"What did our classmate Zhang feed you? You've gained a lot of weight recently, and you look a lot whiter. You're so beautiful."
Chen Beilei sighed.
"I don't know what's wrong with Xiao Jiang. Her mother-in-law and husband made her a lot of delicious food, but she just can't eat it."
"He was already anemic, and now he looks even thinner..."
Listening to Chen Beilei and Lu Yan chatting about Jiang Lingyu's recent situation, Chu Miaohong's hand that was playing with Chen Beilei's hair slowly froze in the air, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
Why did Xiao Jiang's symptoms sound to her like prenatal depression?
This is not good for pregnant women and children.
If Xiao Jiang can't make it, his life will be ruined!
She thought to herself that she should find some time to take a good look at Xiao Jiang.
Putting aside the relationship with the Ning family, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing because they were all comrades in the educated youth.
"She's married well now, and the couple is harmonious and loving. What's the problem?"
Chen Beilei sighed again.
"Isn't it that recent news that's been making the rounds? They say there's going to be an age limit starting with the next year of students. Future university students won't be able to get married or get pregnant while they're still in school, or they'll have to drop out."
"She's been prone to overthinking lately, and she's become depressed."
Chu Miaohong nodded slightly.
She had also heard about this news, but Zhang Hongcheng confirmed that this policy would not be implemented on their three classes of students, so in the final analysis, Xiao Jiang's mentality had not changed after marrying high.
Lu Yan poked Chen Beilei's face with a smile.
"Why are you so sad when you hear you can't date or get married? Is there something wrong?"
Chen Beilei retorted to her speechlessly.
"Haha, don't think I don't know about your correspondence with Guo Tao!"
Lu Yan blushed and her eyes widened.
"How did you know that!?"
Chen Beilei chuckled a few times.
"Then you can ask Young Master Guo Tao to inquire about your situation from me indirectly, and I will naturally pretend to be blind and deaf."
Chu Miaohong interrupted them with a smile and she lifted Chen Beilei's hair.
"Beilei, your hair is almost waist-length again."
Lu Yan immediately responded to Chen Beilei.
"That's right, you're not young anymore, you should think about your personal problems soon! Otherwise, this hair will be wasted."
Chen Beilei rolled her eyes indifferently.
"Come on, with my luck, I might have to get another haircut... wuwuwuwu."
Chu Miaohong and Lu Yan hurriedly reached out to cover the moldy child's crow's mouth.
