Chapter 205 I'm fine
A group of people "escorted" Lin Xia to the door of Zhao Hehua's house. The house at that time was not soundproof at all, and Zhao Hehua's voice came from inside, as if she was scolding someone.
Lin Xia turned around to look at the expressions of the others. Seeing that they were used to it, she knew that this was a common occurrence and was not surprising.
"Thump, thump, thump"
"Who is it? Go open the door!" It was Zhao Hehua's voice.
As the door opened, Lin Xia lowered her eyes and saw a little girl who looked young. She was wearing dirty and patched clothes. She was thin and looked malnourished. She looked at them timidly and puzzled.
Patching is not a rare thing these days, but such a thin child is rare in the family area. The officers who can accompany the army are of relatively high rank, which means their salary is not low, and it is impossible for them to starve. This is the first time Lin Xia has seen such a malnourished child here.
It seems that she was not wrong. This Captain Hu might be a "stepfather".
"Who are you looking for?" Hu Lanlan asked weakly as she looked at the group of people in front of her.
"Xiaolan, is your mother at home?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Who is it?"
Perhaps because she saw Hu Lanlan standing at the door for a long time without coming back, Zhao Hehua asked curiously.
Everyone heard Zhao Hehua's voice. She asked that question just out of courtesy. She couldn't just barge into someone else's house.
"Lotus!" Zhou Hong shouted. It was inconvenient for so many of them to go in.
When Zhao Hehua heard Zhou Hong's voice, she thought something happened to her. She walked to the door and saw a group of people standing at her door. Lin Xia was in the middle. Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Lin Xia didn't give her a chance to speak, and said directly: "Comrade Zhao, I'm here to pick up something. You've borrowed it for so long, so it should be ready, right?"
The voice was soft and gentle, and he seemed to have a very good temper, but to Zhao Hehua it sounded straightforward. She really didn't expect Lin Xia to come to her house to ask for it.
"I haven't finished it yet." Zhao Hehua really didn't want to return it, and regardless of what she said yesterday, she used the tactic of procrastination.
"Really? That ribbon is so simple. You don't want to return it, do you?" Lin Xia was too lazy to argue with her. It was really not difficult to make one. If it was someone else, she might have given it as a gift, but Zhao Hehua couldn't even think about it.
Zhao Hehua looked extremely unhappy. She held her waist and said in pain, "The child is making a fuss. I am often uncomfortable, so I am working a little slower."
"That belt isn't difficult, is it?" The sisters-in-law who were present yesterday said curiously. They saw Zhao Hehua carrying that belt yesterday. It was very simple, but it was not easy to put together. But it was not difficult as long as they had a reference.
Zhao Hehua's face looked even worse. Her eyes rolled back and she held her waist, groaning.
One sister-in-law couldn't tell she was pretending and thought she really had a stomachache, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her acting, Lin Xia said in a panic and nervous manner, "It's so serious, you have to send her to the hospital. I saw a pregnant woman in the hospital who also had stomach pain in her seventh or eighth month. As a result, her family neglected it and sent her to the hospital too late. The baby was lost. Don't delay it."
When the sisters-in-law nearby heard this, they also felt that the baby should be sent to the hospital for a check-up. Their living conditions in the countryside were not good before, but this time the hospital was not far away, so they thought they should go and see the doctor.
Zhao Hehua was so angry at Lin Xia's words that her face froze. Her stomach suddenly ached, her face changed instantly, and she screamed.
The sisters-in-law nearby were even more worried. One sister-in-law ran home shouting, "Hehua, wait. I'll call Captain Hu to borrow a car."
"No need, I'm fine." Zhao Hehua shouted in panic, her voice distorted.
The sister-in-law's family was well-off and had a telephone. She ran very fast and no one could hear her talking. Zhao Hehua had no time to stop her and said anxiously to her sister-in-law who was helping her: "I'm fine, I'm really fine."
It costs a lot of money to go to the hospital, and Zhao Hehua was reluctant to spend the money on it. What's more, she was just pretending. Although she felt pain just now, she had felt pain before, so she thought it was okay.
The sisters-in-law present had all given birth to children, and if they thought about it more, they might understand what was going on with Zhao Hehua, but they were all shocked when they heard what Lin Xia said.
They came to find Zhao Hehua. If anything happened to her, they could not escape the responsibility, so they carefully helped Zhao Hehua into the house to rest and wait for the car to arrive.
The people who were watching the excitement outside dispersed, and the remaining few people helped Zhao Hehua into the house. Lin Xia followed her in and saw that the house was not very big and was a bit messy.
There are three rooms in total. The living room is the dining room. The cooking stove is outside. There is no gas stove at that time. There is a curtain hanging on the door of the room so you can't see what's inside. Lin Xia was glad that Lu Yuxiu didn't choose the family building.
It's a place the size of a palm, and you have to cook in the corridor, which is suffocating just thinking about it. The building sounds nice, but Lin Xia said it is not as good as the old family housing, which is shabby but spacious.
What's more, after being renovated by Lu Yuxiu, it is not broken at all, and Lin Xia is very satisfied.
Lin Xia glanced around the living room and saw her belly support belt placed on the low cabinet.
Not long after, the sister-in-law who had gone to make a phone call came back and said breathlessly to everyone, "Hurry up, help He Hua down, the car will be here soon."
Zhao Hehua was still explaining when she was helped into the house. The sisters-in-law took turns to persuade her. In the end, Zhao Hehua became suspicious and worried that something had happened to her.
Being helped out again, Zhao Hehua was surprised to see Lin Xia still in her house, holding the ribbon in her hand.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Xia raised the belt in her hand and shook it, saying, "Comrade Zhao is going to the hospital, so I guess this won't be needed. I'll take it first."
"No..." Before Zhao Hehua could refuse, she was helped out of the door by her sisters-in-law.
Lin Xia was the last one to leave. She turned around and looked at Hu Lanlan who was standing in the living room. The little girl looked at her timidly and was a little panicked by what happened.
Lin Xia smiled at her before leaving. Before leaving, she reminded her, "Close the door."
Lin Xia was slow to go downstairs. When she got downstairs, the car just drove away. Several sisters-in-law standing aside saw Lin Xia and were startled: "Oh, I forgot you were here. Go slowly and don't let anything happen."
Lin Xia smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll come down slowly. Who followed Comrade Zhao?"
"It's Captain Hu. He asked for leave and came back. He went with us."
"Is that so? That's good." Lin Xia felt relieved, knowing that Captain Hu was with her.
In the car, Captain Hu asked Zhao Hehua about her well-being and was extremely worried.
Zhao Hehua was still thinking about how Lin Xia waved the belt before leaving the house. She was so angry that she suspected that it was all Lin Xia's doing, but no one listened to her when she explained.
