Chapter 158 Zhang Hongyan Sweeps the Street
As the two were chatting, people came outside. Several sisters-in-law came to see her with some things in their hands. Two of them were sisters-in-law who had learned how to make dried mangoes from her, and the others were familiar faces but she had never dealt with them before.
Only one of them was also here yesterday, but she didn't say much, she just came and left.
She brought a few eggs. Compared with the vegetables grown by other sisters-in-law, this gift was not small. Lin Xia didn't know whether she came to see her or to get information.
Lin Xia remembered all the things her sisters-in-law brought, and would return them when she had the chance.
"What did the doctor say?" Yang Hongmei just had time to talk about how Old Lady Zhou ran away. Seeing that Lin Xia didn't look like anything was wrong, she didn't ask. She asked now on purpose.
Even if she doesn't ask, people around her will ask.
Lin Xia reached out and touched her belly, with a look of fear on her face. "The doctor said I need to rest well. Luckily I fell on the sofa yesterday, otherwise the consequences would be..."
The people nearby were also shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect it to be so serious. The others were still able to say things like "Thank God!", but the military wife who had been there yesterday had a strange expression on her face. It wasn't because she felt guilty, but because she was afraid.
After seeing Lin Xia, several people did not stay for long. Only Yang Hongmei stayed. She remembered what Dr. Zhou said about the two heartbeats and asked curiously, "When you went to the hospital for a checkup, did the doctor mention the two heartbeats?"
Lin Xia didn't expect Yang Hongmei to be so perceptive. She smiled and stretched out her hand to indicate two: "Yes, two."
"Really?" Yang Hongmei's eyes widened. She had never seen twins before! This was too strange!
Yang Hongmei was happy for her for a while, then thought for a while and asked, "Why don't you tell anyone about this for now?" If Lin Xia didn't want anyone to know, then she wouldn't say anything.
Lin Xia pondered, this matter can't be concealed, it's better to tell it now, "There's nothing to hide about this matter, but I'm really afraid of what happened yesterday. If something goes wrong..."
The image of one corpse and three lives emerged in Yang Hongmei's mind, and she shuddered with fear. She didn't dare to think about what might really happen. At the same time, she also understood Lin Xia's worries.
"Don't worry, I understand. You don't have to worry about what happens next!" Yang Hongmei thought that if this happened to her, she would not let those people go even if she turned into a ghost.
Lin Xia smiled gratefully at Yang Hongmei. She was very lucky to have such good neighbors.
Old Mrs. Zhou ran away, and Zhang Hongyan hid herself and refused to go out. Lin Xia told Yang Hongmei about this, asking her to help her spread the news. If everyone in the family quarters knew about it, then this matter would no longer be kept silent.
Director Pei must also give himself an explanation. Neither Old Mrs. Zhou nor Zhang Hongyan can escape.
At dinner time, Lu Yuxiu went to the cafeteria to eat and came back. He went out early in the morning and didn’t buy any food. It was okay to eat in the cafeteria once in a while.
Speaking of which, there is another reason why Lin Xia doesn't want to find a nanny too early, and that is that she is afraid that the nanny's cooking skills are not good. This family has picky appetites. Lu Yuxiu is okay, he can eat even the unpalatable food without changing his expression, but Lin Xia and the little one are not like that.
The next day, Lu Yuxiu finished washing clothes early in the morning, ran to buy vegetables for Lin Xia before going to the camp.
Lin Xia also started to stay at home and not go out. The little guy became more sensible than before and no longer went out to play. He was busy around Lin Xia like a little bee.
Sometimes she asked Lin Xia if she wanted to drink water, and sometimes she asked if she wanted to eat. Lin Xia was so amused by her questions that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The little girl seemed to treat her as her own child and was very concerned about her.
Only after drinking water and eating food did the little guy play with toys by himself, as if he had taken good care of her.
But as soon as Lin Xia stood up, the little guy seemed to sense some movement and immediately ran over and reached out to support Lin Xia.
"Thank you, baby." Lin Xia did not disturb her enthusiasm and really enjoyed the thoughtfulness of her little girl.
After only two days of quiet rest at home, Yang Hongmei came to visit her and told her a piece of news.
"Zhang Hongyan was sent by Director Pei to sweep the streets!" Yang Hongmei had to admire Director Pei, as this was a punishment for Zhang Hongyan.
Lin Xia was also a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Director Pei to act so quickly. The punishment was a little beyond her expectations. "She agrees?"
Those who sweep the streets now are all people with bad backgrounds. Generally, such people are either demoted or kept in the local area to sweep the streets and clean toilets. Besides, if they see an acquaintance while sweeping the streets, they will be so embarrassed.
For Zhang Hongyan, this kind of thing is no less than being criticized, right? She usually calls herself the wife of the head of the group and loves to be sought after. I don’t know how Director Pei got her to agree. If I really talk about what happened yesterday, there is no evidence, and it was not her who did it.
Yang Hongmei clapped her hands with laughter, "She actually wanted to be reluctant, but Director Pei came to her house, so if she doesn't go, she will have to go back home."
If she really went back to her hometown, she might not be able to come back again. If Director Pei found a reason to block her from submitting a report to accompany the army, she might not be able to come back. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Hongyan had to go.
"There is one more thing. Now everyone knows that you are pregnant with twins. As soon as I told it yesterday, Director Pei went to find Zhang Hongyan in the afternoon." Yang Hongmei made an expression to Lin Xia.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me. I will never say anything." Lin Xia knew that the reason why Zhang Hongyan was punished so quickly was the result of this matter being spread. She didn't know what Yang Hongmei had to say.
The two talked for a while and then Yang Hongmei left.
As soon as Lu Yuxiu came back in the evening, Lin Xia knew what people were saying outside. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she had to admire the way things turned out.
Now everyone knows that Zhang Hongyan took Old Lady Zhou to Lin Xia's house to make trouble. The two quarreled in Lin Xia's house and pushed Lin Xia, which pushed Lin Xia into the hospital.
They talked about how great the doctor was and how he had tried so hard to save the baby in Lin Xia's belly. It was lucky that she was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise both babies would have died.
As soon as the news of the two children came out, even those who were just gossiping could no longer sit still. This was too much of a sin. If anything happened to the two children, no one would be able to forgive them.
No Old Lady Zhou could be seen, only Zhang Hongyan could be seen, and everyone was cursing and spitting at her.
As words are passed around, they will change their meaning and become rumors.
So it seemed that Old Lady Zhou escaped a disaster, but Zhang Hongyan took all the blame. Everyone seemed to have believed that it was she who pushed Lin Xia, and her current situation was not much better.
Lin Xia felt much better after hearing this and thought the military wives in the family quarters were really cute.
"Two people will come tomorrow, see if they are suitable." Lu Yuxiu went out yesterday to find someone to help introduce him, and received the news today.
"So fast?" Lin Xia was surprised.
