Chapter 111: Wang Lan's Ghost
Zhao Mei looked out the window and felt it was getting late, so she left, saying that Xiao Ya was afraid of sleeping alone.
Ye Xiaomei looked at the palm of her hand. There were many strange images in her mind, such as growing vegetables with plastic sheets and cultivating them with water, but where did these strange ideas come from?
Can vegetables be grown on plastic sheets? And can they grow in the cold winter?
I don't know how long I was entangled, but there was a knock on the door.
It was Wang Lan: "Xiao Mei, your mother has told you to go out less in the future."
Ye Xiaomei's door was bolted, so Wang Lan couldn't get in for the time being. After hearing this, Ye Xiaomei's heart returned to reality.
Studying, pregnancy, and the over-control of her mother-in-law, her mind was in a mess: "I know, Mom."
"That's good. Have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, Mom will make you some duck soup. We don't have ducks at home. I bought one from your Aunt Wu's house."
After saying this, Ye Xiaomei heard footsteps fading away.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly had a bold idea.
In the morning, Wang Lan knocked on the door with a bowl of duck soup in her hand: "Xiao Mei, come and have dinner, duck soup."
The door opened a crack of its own accord. Wang Lan wiped her hands on her apron and muttered, "Why isn't the door closed?"
I entered the room and quickly put down the soup basin. At first glance, I found that the bed was made neatly, like a block of tofu, but no one was in the room.
"Xiao Mei?" Wang Lan thought she had gone to the toilet, so she called out a few times outside the toilet in the southwest corner of the yard, but no one responded.
She then carefully stuck her head in and looked inside. No one was there?
"Oh, Xiaomei, where are you?" Wang Lan panicked at that time.
After going to the Ye family, she was scolded back for being like water spilled by a married woman. Wang Lan then went to the watermelon field, but Zhao Mei didn't see Ye Xiaomei either.
county hospital.
"Ye Xiaomei, I really can't help you with this matter. I didn't help Ye Xiaolin for the same reason, and you are pregnant with twins."
"Ah?" Ye Xiaomei suddenly sat up, with something slippery on her belly that was necessary for black and white and color ultrasound.
Wang Juan, wearing a white coat, said:
"If you want to take it, you need a certificate from the village."
Ye Xiaomei was confused: "Twins?"
"Well, you were too young before so sometimes you couldn't see clearly. Now you're more than two months older, you can see clearly."
"Cell division?" Ye Xiaomei blurted out.
Wang Juan's pupils shrank: "You also know about cell division?"
Ye Xiaomei said innocently, "We don't have this gene in our family, so twins can only be conceived through cell division."
Wang Juan stared at Ye Xiaomei for a long time before the corners of her lips moved: "You know so much, things I just learned yesterday."
As she spoke, Wang Juan handed over some papers and asked Ye Xiaomei to wipe the belly she was examining:
"Xiao Mei, have you never studied medicine before?" Wang Juan asked cautiously. She didn't look like someone who had never studied medicine.
"No, I've only read some books." Ye Xiaomei felt mixed emotions at the moment, her mind full of Wang Lan's control over her.
If this continues, Ye Xiaomei feels like she will go crazy.
At this moment, the door of the monitoring room was suddenly pushed open: "Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, where are you? Don't do anything stupid."
"You can't just come in." Wang Juan hurried out to see.
Wang Lan rushed in anxiously with tears in her eyes. Ye Xiaomei quickly fastened her belt, her heart sank.
She was really good at searching, and she found the hospital so quickly.
"I'm just here to check. Can you not be so surprised?" Ye Xiaomei raised her voice to Wang Lan for the first time. She was in a very confused mood. Other women were very happy when they were pregnant, but she was being controlled to the point of going crazy.
Wang Juan and Wang Lan were stunned. It was the first time they saw Ye Xiaomei lose her temper.
Wang Lan's mouth twitched: "Just... check it out. You should have told me earlier. Look how scared I was. Wang Juan, tell me how the checkup went."
Ye Xiaomei ignored him and left the examination room.
"Xiao Mei, please wait for me." Wang Lan wanted to catch up, but she was particularly concerned about the test results so she could only ask Wang Juan first.
Upon hearing the result, Wang Lan jumped for joy and rushed back to the village to tell everyone about it. Within half a day, the whole Meihua Village knew that Ye Xiaomei was pregnant with twins.
Ye Xiaomei could hardly move, as Wang Lan followed her wherever she went.
"I'm taking my daughter-in-law for a walk again."
"Of course not. Our Xiaomei is very rich now. You have to take care of her no matter what I say." Whenever Wang Lan heard this, her heart was as happy as honey.
Ye Xiaomei, however, did not have it so easy. The people in the village kept praising Wang Lan as a good mother-in-law that was hard to find in the world. Whenever they spoke to her loudly, Wang Lan would quickly give in, causing others to blame Ye Xiaomei for being ignorant.
As November 20th was approaching, Ye Xiaomei looked at her admission ticket and introduction under the stage light with mixed feelings.
What to do? She has an exam the day after tomorrow, and Meihua Village is too far away. If she wants to rush to No. 11 Middle School to take the test, she will have to set off on the long journey at least early tomorrow morning.
A month had passed since Ma Qijun's letter and he still hadn't returned. Ye Xiaomei didn't know what had happened in the meantime. Did he go on a mission?
Ye Xiaomei gritted her teeth, took out her cloth bag, packed two pieces of clothes, put her admission ticket and other things in, then stuffed it under her pillow and prepared to go to sleep.
She decided that she would take the exam tomorrow morning no matter what. She would not regret it if she failed, but she would be unwilling to accept it for the rest of her life if she did not take the exam.
Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door: "Xiao Mei, open the door for Mom."
Ye Xiaomei frowned suddenly and opened the door reluctantly: "It's so late, Mom..."
"I want to sleep with you." Wang Lan squeezed in hard.
When Ye Xiaomei looked clearly, she found that she had already climbed onto the bed holding the pillow and quilt.
Wang Lan saw Xiao Mei standing there motionless and quickly patted her pillow: "Come and get under the quilt, it's warm for the two of you to sleep together. Listen to the wind outside, come and go to sleep!"
Oh my god, why didn't Ye Xiaomei realize that Wang Lan was like a lingering ghost before? Or was she just inexperienced and couldn't judge people accurately?
Ye Xiaomei stared blankly at Wang Lan who was smiling, and suddenly her face sank. She could actually see what Wang Lan was thinking.
She hadn't been in the mood to look at Wang Lan these days, but now she saw that Wang Lan had heard that the exam date for this batch of exams had arrived, so she deliberately stayed here to watch her.
"If you want to sleep, you can do it by yourself. I'm going back to my parents' home." Having said that, Ye Xiaomei took the cloth bag from under the pillow, put on a thick cotton jacket, put on a scarf and was about to leave.
Wang Lan got anxious when she heard this. She jumped off the bed barefoot without even putting on any clothes. When she chased after Ye Xiaomei, she had already arrived in the yard.
The wind tonight was extremely biting and everyone said it was going to snow soon. Wang Lan was frozen as soon as she stuck her head out of the door. She had no choice but to put on her clothes in a hurry.
When Wang Lan caught up with her, Ye Xiaomei had already disappeared into the darkness on her bicycle.
Ye Xiaomei hesitated for two minutes at the three-way intersection at the entrance of the village. She was sure that if she went back to her parents' home, Wang Lan would be there in no time. She gritted her teeth and turned around to head out of the village.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when she arrived at the county. Ye Xiaomei counted the money she had on her. She had lost two thousand four hundred to Lamb and Rabbit, gave five hundred yuan to her mother for living expenses, and kept fifteen hundred yuan in the savings bank. She would have to wait until the store opened tomorrow to withdraw some money for travel expenses.
Now, Ye Xiaomei only had fifty-six yuan in change in her pocket. She looked at the dark streets of the county town and saw that only the lights in a guesthouse were still on.
I went up to ask and found out it would cost ten dollars for a night's stay.
Just as Ye Xiaomei was paying the money, a military jeep drove onto the village road outside the door.
In the car, Heizi smiled happily: "Boss, it's worth it after driving for several days. You have to ask auntie to make me some dumplings. I'm mixing it here." Heizi touched his belly.
Ma Qijun, who was sitting in the back seat, stood up straight with his hands resting naturally on his knees. How could he not be anxious on the whole journey? Now that he was almost at the doorstep of his home, he had already imagined his wife's ecstatic look in his mind.
