Chapter 148 Good Feng Shui
After dinner, the little guy still refused to go shopping with her. He had made a lot of friends recently and was having a lot of fun.
Lin Xia went to the market with Yang Hongmei to buy vegetables. When they passed the staff building, they heard loud cursing. People passing by looked upstairs and talked about something.
They happened to meet Zhao Xianglan, and there was no news that she didn't know, so they both knew that Su Qiuhua's mother-in-law had come.
He arrived yesterday, and this is the third time he has been swearing. His voice is so loud that everyone in the staff building knows it.
She kept scolding me over and over again, saying things like you don't lay eggs and that her Haozi will have no descendants.
"Zhou Hao just let his mother scold his wife like that?" Lin Xia frowned. If the husband doesn't stand by his wife and support her at a time like this, then she will be bullied to death.
"How is that possible? Isn't he at home? Zhou Hao and his wife still have a good relationship." Zhao Xianglan sighed. This mother-in-law just took advantage of her son's absence and found a time to come.
"Is there any leader who can come out and take care of this?" Several people stopped downstairs, and many people around were listening to the noise upstairs.
Zhao Xianglan: "I took care of it yesterday, but I'm afraid it's too late today."
At this time, several people came out from the family building, one of whom was Zhang Hongyan. When she saw Lin Xia, her face fell and she stared at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia frowned. This woman came to her home to make a presence felt when she first came to the military region. They lived in different family quarters, and she never met again after that.
"Let's go, the leader is here." Zhao Xianglan said. Lin Xia looked in the distance and saw Director Pei, whom she had met before. He was going upstairs with a serious face.
It was not good to watch any longer, so Lin Xia and the others went to buy groceries. On the way back, there was no more noise of throwing a tantrum, and they didn't take it to heart.
After Lin Xia got home, she put down her things and half-leaned on the sofa, feeling much more comfortable. She held a teacup and drank the delicious water.
There wasn't much dried fish left from the family, after giving it away and eating it up on a regular basis, so I had to get some more. When I saw squid in the market today, Lin Xia immediately thought of dried squid, which tasted good in both original and spicy flavors. She also bought some seaweed and would grill them together.
After resting for a long time, Lin Xia got up and started to work. She cleaned the squid and spread it on the wire mesh. Lu Yuxiu did this specially because he saw that it was inconvenient for her to grill things. She put some wax paper underneath to make it easier to clean.
Put the squid in the oven and bake it. The high temperature will slowly curl it up. Take it out, turn it over and bake it for a while. While I was busy, I saw someone coming to the gate of the yard.
Lin Xia caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye but didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just someone passing by. There had always been military wives who were curious about her house and would sometimes look into the yard. Sometimes, when they saw Lin Xia in the yard, they would just smile awkwardly, but she didn't care.
Everyone is curious and nothing can stop it.
"You have just joined the army not long ago, right?"
Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Lin Xia looked up and saw an unfamiliar old lady standing in the yard. She had dark skin and was thin. Standing next to her was Zhang Hongyan.
Lin Xia frowned. She had never seen anyone come in without saying hello.
"What's the matter with you?"
"I am Captain Zhou's biological mother." The old lady's tone revealed a hint of pride.
Lin Xia found it a little funny to hear this. The rank of battalion commander is quite scary if it is mentioned to others, but it is really nothing unusual in the military camp. There are seven divisions on Qiongzhou Island, including the Construction Corps. Each division has five or six regiments, and each regiment has three battalion commanders.
If you count it this way, there are quite a few battalion commanders. If you call out the last name Zhou, you will run into quite a few of them. If you don't tell Lin Xia their names, she really won't know them, but if you tell her the name of a military wife, she might know it.
"Oh, is there something wrong?" Her behavior made Lin Xia glance at Zhang Hongyan. She also came here inexplicably, with a boastful tone, and no one knew what her purpose was.
"The feng shui here is good, right? Your belly is bulging so nicely." Although the woman in front of her looked coquettish and not virtuous, her bulging belly really made Old Lady Zhou greedy. She stared at Lin Xia's belly with envy.
"See, I was right, wasn't I?" Zhang Hongyan rolled her eyes, and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.
"Grandma, I'm going to cook. If you don't have anything to do, you can go home." Lin Xia smiled and saw the guests off. What a joke! What kind of era is this? How dare people talk about Feng Shui?
The old woman: "Hey, don't go. I have something I want to ask you for help. I will definitely thank you when it's done."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you." Lin Xia was alert all of a sudden. What could a pregnant woman do to help her? She still didn't know which Battalion Commander Zhou's mother this person was, and there was Zhang Hongyan standing next to her, which was not a good thing at first glance.
Seeing that Lin Xia was about to leave, the old woman grabbed her. Although she was skinny, she was very strong. Lin Xia did not dare to struggle too much, for fear that the old woman would not be able to hold her back and she would fall.
"Let go of me! What on earth do you want to do?" Lin Xia glared at Zhang Hongyan, not knowing what she wanted to do.
Lin Xia was so heavy that she didn't dare to struggle. This fall was no small matter, and she was afraid that the old woman would blame her if she fell. After thinking for a while, Lin Xia shouted at the top of her voice, "Sister-in-law Hongmei, come quickly!"
The old woman was startled and wanted to ask her to stop shouting, but she couldn't reach her. Maybe it was because Lin Xia's tone was wrong. As soon as Yang Hongmei heard the shouting, she ran over in a few seconds. When she saw the situation in the yard, she was shocked and came over to pull the two apart.
He held Lin Xia behind him, still a little confused about the situation.
When the old woman saw someone coming, she looked anxious and couldn't help shouting, "I'm not a bad person, I just want to exchange houses with your family."
"Change houses?" Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei widened their eyes and looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.
"Girl, please be kind and help my son." The old lady's tone was pitiful, as if she had encountered a big problem.
"Look how pitiful the old man is. What's more, you have moved into a building. In a sense, you are getting a good deal." Zhang Hongyan chimed in.
Yang Hongmei knew what these two people were planning after hearing this. When the house was renovated, everyone in this family area was involved. Thinking of the layout of Lin Xia's home, no one would want to change it, right?
Lin Xia rolled her eyes in her heart. It was true that high-rise buildings were rare and popular these days, but to Lin Xia, it was not as comfortable as living in this old building with a large yard.
But seeing how hard Zhang Hongyan was trying, there must be something wrong. Lin Xia had a look of pity on her face, as if she was moved, and asked softly: "Old lady, I also want to help you, but what's the point of changing this house? Did you get cheated?"
Seeing that she seemed to agree and was not a stingy person as Comrade Zhang said, the old lady was immediately happy and immediately said what Zhang Hongyan had said.
"Your house has good feng shui! I heard that the person who lived here before moved out was pregnant, and you got pregnant not long after you moved in. This shows that this place is a good place for children. Please be kind enough to help my useless daughter-in-law."
As she spoke, she started to curse again, saying things like her daughter-in-law was useless. After hearing this, Lin Xia recognized her. This person must be Su Qiuhua's mother-in-law.
Thinking of the superstitious words in front of her, Lin Xia immediately looked at Zhang Hongyan. She didn't believe that she didn't have any contribution here.
Yang Hongmei also understood what was going on and immediately laughed out loud.
The old woman smiled in a puzzled manner, and a guilty look flashed across Zhang Hongyan's face.
