I finally caught the last bus back to town, and it was a shaky ride all the way.
When the bus arrived at the station, she rubbed her eyes and got off.
Lin Ziqiang was already waiting there on his motorcycle. When he saw Su Man coming back, he waved to her.
"Sister-in-law, here it is!"
Su Man nodded and ran over, skillfully pushed Lin Ziqiang to sit in the back, turned the key, and the motorcycle sped towards Linjia Bay.
When I got home, I saw Tang Guifen had tidied the house as soon as I entered.
All the luggage, big and small, was placed in the main room, and a few large pieces of furniture were missing. Upon asking, I learned that they were given to the villagers.
It seems that Grandma and Qiangzi can't wait to move to the city.
Su Man only reported good news and not bad news, and did not mention the encounter with Zheng Biaozi's brother-in-law.
He only told Tang Guifen and Lin Ziqiang that the yard was almost decorated, and they could move in after Lin Ye came back and bought the furniture.
At least they can move in before the New Year, Tang Guifen and Lin Ziqiang said they are not in a hurry.
But her face was full of smiles, and I guess she couldn't wait to move to the city.
————
The next morning, as soon as Su Man got up, she heard Tang Guifen talking to someone outside.
She thought it was Lin Ye who came back, so she quickly jumped out of bed and opened the door.
"Why are you back..."
When I opened the door, I found a young woman in her early twenties standing outside. Her belly was slightly bulging, and she looked pregnant.
After confirming through eye contact, I realized it was someone I didn't know.
"Grandma, what is this?"
When Tang Guifen saw Su Man woke up, she hurriedly invited people into the house.
"Mannier, this is Biaozi's wife. She came before dawn and said she wanted to apologize to you or something."
"My girl, you're already four or five months pregnant, right? You can't run around like that! It would be bad if you bump into your stomach or something."
"Come in and sit for a while. I'll get you something to eat."
Lin Ye and Zheng Biaozi have been good brothers for many years. When Zheng Biaozi married his wife Tang Guifen, they both attended the wedding.
Shao Jiannu waved her hands helplessly and blushed.
"No need, grandma, I'll just apologize to my sister-in-law and leave. Please don't bother."
She walked up to Su Man and bowed solemnly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, my little brother has been spoiled by my parents since he was a child."
"If I said anything unpleasant yesterday, don't take it to heart!"
Seeing her bowing with her big belly, Su Man was afraid that it would crush the baby in her belly, so she quickly helped her up.
"This is not your fault, you don't need to apologize."
"Biaozi is not at home, so you have to pay attention to your big belly."
Although Zheng Biaozi's brother-in-law is a bit stupid, it has nothing to do with his wife, so there is no need for her to vent her anger on him.
Shao Jiannu held Su Man's hand and stuffed the malted milk and egg cake she had brought into her hands.
"I've heard Biaozi say that my sister-in-law is a reasonable person. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed the case."
"You are being magnanimous if you don't blame me. I can't pretend to be ignorant when I know the truth."
"I know Brother Lin Ye will buy you anything, but this is a little gift from me as your sister-in-law. Please take it!"
"It's getting late. I have to go back and cook. I'm leaving now."
"When you move to the city, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet each other!"
Su Man took Shao Jiannu's hand and looked behind her with a frown.
"How did you get here?"
Shao Jiannu supported her waist with one hand, took a breath, and lifted her foot.
"I took the bus to town and now I'm walking here. Don't look at my big belly, I'm very light on my feet!"
I saw her waving her hand and about to leave.
Su Man had a headache, so she quickly stuffed the thing into her hands.
"Wait a moment, I'll wash up, change clothes and go with you."
She quickly finished washing up and came out of the house. She pushed the motorcycle and asked Shao Jiannu to get on.
"Come on, I have to go to work too, I'll take you to the station on the way."
"Take the food back. I can't eat it here."
Tang Guifen also came forward to help her sit on the motorcycle and gave her instructions.
"My girl, your belly is quite big now. You can't do this to me in the future."
Shao Jiannu sat firmly and held on. Su Man stepped on the accelerator and the motorcycle moved forward slowly.
When they arrived in town, she didn't rush to send Shao Jiannu to the station. Instead, she took her to Yu Dong's restaurant and ordered two bowls of wontons.
Looking at Shao Jiannu's belly, he ordered another basket of meat buns.
"Sister-in-law, don't spend money."
"I can just go home and eat it. There's food ready at home."
"It's okay, just think of it as accompanying me for a meal."
Su Man poured her a glass of water, and seeing that she kept swallowing her saliva, she ordered another dish of braised beef.
Soon, the food was served.
Su Man pushed the wontons in front of Shao Jiannu and motioned her to eat them.
"Eat it, it would be a waste if you don't."
Shao Jiannu knew that if she delayed any further she would be ignoring the other person's kindness, so she started eating too.
She was pregnant and could eat a lot, and there was not enough oil and water during this period.
Once I start eating meat, I can’t control my mouth.
Soon, a bowl of wontons and a basket of meat buns were in her stomach.
She also cleared out the plate of braised beef.
After she finished eating, she came to her senses and her face was full of regret.
"Sister-in-law, are you not full? I'll buy you some more..."
Su Man held her down and asked Lin Ziqiang to pack a portion of braised beef.
"You need nutrition now, eat more. I'm full, and there's more food in the cafeteria later."
"Come on, I'll take you to the station!"
After sending Shao Jiannu to the station and watching her get on the bus, Su Man kindly reminded her.
"Your brother looks quite old. As his sister, you can only help him temporarily, but not forever."
