Although Tian Tian wanted to know what happened next, seeing the expressions of the elders at home, she didn't dare to ask too much. She could only tell them that the food was ready and they just had to wash their hands and eat.
Chen Guihua was the only one in the family who smiled. "Tiantian is the most sensible. We can have ready-made food when we come back. I was thinking of cooking today, but something like this happened next door. Why do I have to ask Tiantian to come and help me cook?"
"It's no big deal. Aren't we a family?" After Tian Tian said this, she went to the kitchen to get the soup.
Everyone was busy setting the table, putting all the food on the table, and then they started eating.
Everyone was in a bad mood because of what happened in the Huang family today, and the dining table was silent.
Tian Zhuo was still young and didn't understand what death meant, but he didn't dare to speak casually in this atmosphere.
Although Tian Baobao knew that it was his nephew next door who died, he had no feelings for the people over there and could not understand the feelings of his elders.
Tian Tian simply didn't dare to speak.
After the meal, Old Mrs. Tian felt a little tired, so she waved her hand and asked them to go back and rest.
After Chen Guihua and Lin Meiyu washed the dishes, they sent the kids off to play by themselves. Chen Guihua grabbed a handful of snacks and peanuts and went to chat with Lin Meiyu.
"Sister Huang and Zhang Lanru are so pitiful. Just because of Huang Kangri, they have ended up in such a mess!" said Chen Guihua.
Lin Meiyu also sighed after hearing this, "I used to think Huang Kangri was a good guy. Although he was usually quiet, who would have thought that he was like a big shot in the family. And about the child, who would have thought that it was his own idea? Poor Zhang Lanru, such a good daughter-in-law. No wonder Sister Huang looked down on Zhang Lanru before."
It turned out that Zhang Lanru and Huang Kangri had been married for many years but had no children. Although Aunt Huang was anxious, she actually didn't have any other thoughts in her mind, because she had experienced this kind of feeling when she was young, so she knew that Zhang Lanru was also anxious, so she didn't urge them, but just wanted to let nature take its course. If there was still no child in the end, there was nothing she could do.
Who knew that Aunt Huang was quite open-minded, but Huang Kangri just couldn't let it go. In addition, there were people in the team talking about them behind their backs from time to time, which made him feel even worse.
Once, he was drinking with the people from Team 7, and somehow they ended up talking about borrowing sperm. Huang Kangri wanted his brothers to help.
How could a man refuse such a good thing that comes to his doorstep without any responsibility? Naturally, his brother agreed.
Anyway, this kind of thing was instigated by Huang Kangri, and Huang Kangri would also cover for him, which was exactly what he wanted.
Who would have thought that Huang was so active in resisting the Japanese and brought his brother home that very night.
Aunt Huang went to bed early and when she heard the door opening, she thought it was the noise made by Huang Kangri coming back and didn't think much about it.
Zhang Lanru never thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen, so she didn't take any precautions until it happened. However, it was too late by then, and Huang Kangri was there to coax her.
Zhang Lanru was afraid that if this matter were to be exposed she would be sent back to her parents' home, so she forgave Huang Kangri. She originally thought that since she had not been pregnant for so many years, it should be okay this time.
Who knew that Huang Kangri's brother was so powerful and hit the target right away, and Zhang Lanru actually became pregnant.
And it was Aunt Huang who first noticed this.
After hearing this news, Zhang Lanru was filled with fear and wanted to get rid of the child, but Huang Kangri said that the child was innocent and that he would treat him as his own son if he was born, and that way no one would gossip about them behind their backs.
He also cited the example of Aunt Huang and him, saying that even though they were not related by blood, they were able to get along very well.
After all, it was the baby in her belly and the child she had been looking forward to for so many years. Zhang Lanru was reluctant to give it up, so she kept the child.
Although the couple had agreed on it, Zhang Lanru felt uneasy when faced with Aunt Huang's care and love, and she revealed it unconsciously.
Aunt Huang was able to raise Huang Kangri alone. She was a thoughtful and strong person, and she was very sensitive to the fact that something was wrong with Zhang Lanru.
At first, she didn't know and thought it was normal for Zhang Lanru to feel uneasy because it was her first pregnancy, so she patiently comforted Zhang Lanru.
But the better she treated Zhang Lanru, the more uncomfortable she felt, and more and more flaws she revealed.
Aunt Huang then began to suspect that she was having an affair, and her attitude towards Zhang Lanru changed, assigning her some work from time to time.
Because Zhang Lanru felt guilty towards Aunt Huang, she accepted all the work Aunt Huang assigned to her and did not dare to complain.
Although Aunt Huang was angry with Zhang Lanru, her anger subsided when she saw the child she gave birth to. She thought that the child was innocent after all, and that the child was being raised in her home, so it didn't matter whose flesh and blood the child was.
So she took good care of Zhang Lanru during her confinement. She cooked millet porridge and eggs for her every day, and even killed two chickens to help her replenish her body and produce milk.
On the contrary, Huang Kangri, who had promised to be good to Zhang Lanru and the child at the beginning, felt more and more uncomfortable as Zhang Lanru's belly grew bigger, and he did not treat Zhang Lanru as well as before. This time, when Zhang Lanru gave birth to a child and was in confinement, he just ignored her and did not care about anything. He did not comfort the child when he cried, nor did he change the diaper when it was dirty. He just stood there and did nothing.
But the two women in the family felt guilty about him and said nothing about his behavior.
It was not until today when the child got into trouble that the matter was brought to light. Aunt Huang realized that she had misunderstood Zhang Lanru, and she felt even more sad and heartbroken.
They were sad about the death of the child who was less than one month old, and also heartbroken that they had taught Huang Kangri to be like this. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly, while Huang Kangri stood aside, looking too embarrassed to face anyone.
"Sister Huang and Zhang Lanru were both good people, but they were tortured by Huang Kangri and became like this. I don't know how their family will live in the future?" Lin Meiyu said with emotion.
Today I went to the Huang family next door to see if there was anything I could help with. Who would have thought I would hear so many things? Thinking about the circle of people gathered outside the gate when they came out, I guess this matter has spread throughout their team by now.
"What else can we do? We just have to make do with it! Zhang Lanru's parents are not good people either. At least the Huang family has Aunt Huang who treats her well. Won't she just be a nuisance to her parents when she goes back?" Chen Guihua said unhappily.
