Xie's mother and Sun Lanjun had an argument, and people passing by stopped and looked over out of curiosity, including some of Sun Lanjun's neighbors.
Sun Lanjun felt a little embarrassed.
"Since you dislike me as your mother-in-law so much, don't come back in a few days!" After saying this, Xie's mother turned around and left without looking back.
Sun Lanjun was anxious and angry. She watched Xie's mother leave before she remembered to save face and spat, "Who wants to go back?"
Then he stared at everyone's eyes, held his chin high and went home feeling embarrassed and awkward.
Brother Xie came back very late as usual. As soon as he came back, he was stopped by his neighbor who was waiting for him downstairs to enjoy the cool air. The neighbor told him that Xie's mother had arrived in the afternoon.
When Brother Xie heard about his father's birthday and the news that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi's workshop was about to open, he was very happy. He returned home with a grin on his face and wanted to tell Sun Lanjun about it.
The house was dark and he thought Sun Lanjun was not at home. When he turned on the light, he was startled by Sun Lanjun sitting in the living room with her chest crossed and a sullen face.
"What's wrong? Who has offended you again?" asked Brother Xie.
Sun Lanjun slowly raised her head, looked at the smile on Brother Xie's face that had not yet been retracted, and asked, "Why do you look so happy?"
Brother Xie took off his hat, put down his messenger bag, walked over and said, "I just heard from the aunt downstairs that mom is here today. She said dad's birthday is in two days, and asked us to go back for dinner. By the way, aren't my second brother and his wife doing business? They recently opened a workshop--"
"They opened a workshop?" Sun Lanjun didn't know the news yet, and her defense was instantly broken.
She wants to have a son now but can't, but Lin Xiangyi is not only pregnant, but her business is also booming?
"Well, that's a good thing—"
"Good news? What good news!" Sun Lanjun shouted, stood up, walked to Brother Xie, and asked aggressively: "Do you know what news I heard today?"
Hearing this, Brother Xie asked nervously, "What news did you hear?"
"Has your company not informed you of the family planning news yet?"
"So that's what happened," said Brother Xie, who works at the post office. He is better informed than the average employer and got the news two days ago.
When he got the news, he was shocked and a little disappointed.
He currently has only one child, Xiaoni. Whether it is a daughter or a son, he wants to have one or two more.
But the matter was done, and considering Sun Lanjun's personality, he did not come back to tell her about it. He just digested and accepted it on his own.
Sun Lanjun: "You knew it a long time ago? When did you know it?"
"I found out two days ago," Brother Xie told the truth.
"Why didn't you come back and tell me after you knew it?" Sun Lanjun couldn't believe it.
"I thought you would know it sooner or later..." Brother Xie rubbed his temples with a headache, trying to comfort Sun Lanjun: "But the matter is done, let's relax. We may be destined to have only one child, Xiaoni..."
"What do you mean we are destined to have only Xiaoni as our child? The child I aborted before wasn't a child? If your mother hadn't gone back to the countryside, I would have given birth to him safely!"
Sun Lanjun broke down and started to talk about the past: "Two months ago, if your mother hadn't refused to come to the city to take care of me while I gave birth, I might have been pregnant a long time ago!"
"She is just partial and just can't stand me. Do you know that she chose to come during my working hours today because she didn't want to see me! This is not my guess, she said it herself! She also told me not to go back for dinner--"
"Stop it!" Brother Xie roared, unable to bear it any longer. "Is it my mother's fault that you aborted the child? It was obviously your own fault. You didn't want to give her living expenses and let her go back to the countryside! Why didn't she come to the city to take care of you? Look at how you treat her! My mother is right, you'd better not go back, so that you won't annoy my mother and me!"
"I don't want to argue with you. I'm going to sleep at work tonight!"
After saying this, Brother Xie slammed the door and left.
"You! Xie Qingrong? Xie Qingrong, come back here! How could you do this to me, wuwuwuwu~"
Sun Lanjun chased after him for two steps, but saw Brother Xie walking away without even looking back. She couldn't help but sob.
-
Mother Xie had no idea that after she returned, Sun Lanjun had a big fight with Brother Xie. She went home and there was no one there, so she went to the workshop again.
There has been no work in the fields recently, and the workshop is about to open, so Aunt Xie and Su Xiaomei have been staying in the workshop almost the whole day these two days, helping to tidy up and clean the workshop.
Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi, Xie's father and uncle were all there. They were taking a break and eating the watermelon that Xie Qingxiao had just bought when he delivered the goods.
Everyone was eating and chatting in a happy atmosphere.
When Lin Xiangyi saw Xie's mother coming in, she called her over to eat watermelon: "Mom, you're back? Come over and eat watermelon."
Xie Qingxiao just happened to cut a new one, handed one piece to Xie's mother, and then handed another piece to Lin Xiangyi.
Lin Xiangyi was about to take it when Aunt Xie beside her said quickly, "Xiangyi, watermelon is cold in nature, so you can't eat too much, especially since you are not in good health. You need to be more careful."
Lin Xiangyi had already eaten two pieces. Hearing this, she withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Then I won't eat it."
Xie Qingxiao took the watermelon back and asked, "Do you want to have some snacks? I'll go back and get them for you."
"No, I'm a little full," Lin Xiangyi said.
"What snacks?" Aunt Xie was curious when she heard this: "Is it good for pregnant women and fetuses? I also want to buy some for our little Mei."
Influenced by Xie's father, Xie's mother and Xie Qingxiao's attitude towards Lin Xiangyi, Aunt Xie also treated Su Xiaomei better and better.
Of course, it’s also because I can make money now, I have more money, and I’m more willing to spend money.
"They are some nuts and beef jerky. Qingxiao asked someone to buy them for him. If Xiaomei wants them, I'll give some to you later," Lin Xiangyi looked at Su Xiaomei.
"Will you not have enough to eat?" Su Xiaomei asked embarrassedly.
"No," Xie Qingxiao said, "I'll buy it after we finish eating."
"That's fine," Aunt Xie said immediately, "Then you give some to Xiaomei and we'll give you the money."
"Fortunately, Xiaomei listened to Xiangyi and had the child," Xie's mother interrupted after eating a piece of watermelon.
"What do you mean?" Aunt Xie asked curiously.
Lin Xiangyi understood. According to the timeline, the family planning system had already been promulgated, and this should be what Xie's mother was talking about.
Sure enough, Xie's mother told her mother that many units in the city had notified her of the family planning policy.
"Really?" Aunt Xie was shocked.
"Yeah, how could I lie to you? When I came back, I ran into the eldest brother's wife at the door. She gave me a nasty look. I knew at a glance that the news was true."
"Oh my God, our little Mei is really alive thanks to Xiangyi," Aunt Xie looked at Lin Xiangyi with a lingering fear on her face.
Su Xiaomei subconsciously stroked her belly, also with a look of relief on her face.
