Xiao Han had no money and originally wanted to not buy a gift, but she was worried that her mother-in-law would be angry. She stood at the entrance of the mall, carrying vegetables, looking very lonely.
She wanted to lend it to Wen Xin, but she couldn't bear to do it. After all, she knew Wen Xin's situation. Her mother was still in the hospital, and the medical bills were so huge that she couldn't afford to ask for money.
Xiao Han searched through WeChat but couldn't find anyone to talk to. Finally, she opened an Alipay Huabei account and bought Pengpeng a remote-controlled music excavator for 150 yuan, and also bought him some snacks.
When I got home, the Zhang family was already chatting in the living room.
Xiao Han greeted with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, you are here."
Zhang Guoqiang just nodded slightly, expressionless, and lowered his head to peel his own melon seeds for his son to eat.
The eldest sister-in-law, Wang Qiuju, stood up, stroked her chin, and looked at Xiao Han, saying, "Hey! Guodong, this is your wife who works as a cleaner. She doesn't look that good at all! She's not worth your life and death."
"Can this small butt give birth to a son?"
Xiao Han blushed, and even Zhang Guodong lowered his head in embarrassment, "Yes, sister-in-law, she is my wife."
Wang Qiuju clicked her tongue sarcastically, and seeing Xiao Han's timid look, she became even more arrogant.
"What are you holding in your hand?"
Xiao Han handed the toy over and whispered, "This is the toy and snacks I bought for Peng Peng."
Wang Qiuju was obviously not interested in these street goods, but when the kid saw the excavator, he excitedly dropped the melon seed shells in his hand on the ground. Wang Qiuju snatched them away and almost made Xiao Han fall.
After finally stabilizing his feet, the three-year-old Pengpeng happily brought the excavator to Wang Qiang and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, drive, Grandma, drive."
"Okay, little darling, I'll drive."
Xiao Han looked at the three-year-old child with a headache. When she thought about how rude he had just been to her and how he hadn't even said thank you, she felt like she had provoked a little ancestor. Such a child was not likable.
But she didn't blame him. After all, he was just a child. She just needed to teach him well in the future.
Wang Qiang saw her standing still and scolded her, "Why are you standing there? Do you want to starve us to death?"
"Oh!" Xiao Han reacted and said, "I'll cook right away."
She turned and went into the kitchen and glanced at Zhang Guodong, but he was playing games and didn't even look at her.
Wang Qiuju said to her mother-in-law in a low voice with disdain: "Mom, you dare to marry someone like this? She's just a country girl who has never seen the world. She looks so cowardly. At first glance, she looks like a wretched person who is often bullied. She has no temperament at all. It's a waste of such a pretty face."
"Hey! What can we do? Guodong likes her and she's pregnant, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Then let's just live together for now! If it doesn't work out, we can divorce. Now I can use her to help me take care of the kids."
Wang Qiang touched her grandson's head and said, "Yes, Mom has the same plan. When she gives birth to a child, if it's a girl, she will be kicked out of the house immediately."
Wang Qiuju nodded, got up and went to the kitchen. When she saw the vegetarian dishes, she immediately frowned and said, "Xiao Han, you are just giving us these vegetarian dishes? My son loves meat."
Xiao Han was stunned as he was picking vegetables. He pointed at the meat under the bag and said, "There is meat too. It's here."
Wang Qiuju weighed it and found it was about one pound. She quickly mocked: "This is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
After saying this, she threw the meat heavily on the stove and walked out.
Xiao Han was busy preparing meals for five adults and one child by herself. Because she was in a hurry, the food didn't taste very good and she was scolded again.
......
When Wen Xin saw Xiao Han's folic acid in the dormitory after get off work, she called her and asked her if she needed her to bring the medicine back to her.
When she answered the phone, even though she pretended to be calm, Wen Xin could still sense something was wrong. She asked, "Are you crying?"
"No, I was just cutting onions and it made me cry. It's okay."
"Well, do you want me to bring your folic acid to you?"
"No need. My mother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law are all here. They will probably be unhappy to see you and say a lot of nonsense about you. I will come to eat tomorrow when I go to work."
Wen Xin nodded, "Okay, remember to tell me if you are unhappy about anything."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xin threw the phone into a cloth bag, put the bag on her shoulder, and rode her bike to sell vegetables and go home to cook.
When I came back with the ingredients, Jun Mohan had already arrived home and was playing with his fish. He seemed to like playing with his fish very much and would go to take a look at it the first thing he did before leaving home every day.
Hearing Wen Xin changing her shoes, he stood up and said, "I came back early tonight. I just arrived too."
"Well, I came back specially to cook."
After saying that, she took the apron hanging on the refrigerator, tied it around her waist, opened the refrigerator to take out a lemon, and then she found that the battery was out.
"It's over," she muttered.
Jun Mohan asked: "What's going on?"
“The power is out.”
Jun Mohan frowned, walked in, and took the phone from the sofa, "This shouldn't be! There was no notification of a power outage in the community group."
Suddenly he thought of something, raised his head and stared at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you forget to pay the electricity bill?"
"Ah!" This reminder made Wen Xin remember that day Jun Mohan gave her the receipt and asked her to pay the electricity and internet bills, but she forgot about it.
"I'm sorry, uncle, I forgot."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she had no confidence to speak to a child who had done something wrong.
Jun Mohan: "......"
"I'm sorry, I just tend to forget things when I'm busy. I'm wrong. I'll go pay the electricity and internet bills now."
After she finished speaking, she walked out in a hurry without even taking off her apron.
Jun Mohan simply admired her creative thinking. It was already time to get off work and the business office was closed. Moreover, if she paid the bill now, she would have to wait until tomorrow to get the call.
"etc."
He called her and Wen Xin turned around, with a trace of guilt on her pretty face, "Uncle, go ahead."
"People are off work now. Even if they pay tonight, they won't call until tomorrow. How about this! I'll pay tomorrow. Now let's go downstairs and eat."
Wen Xin was delighted. "Really? That's great. I haven't eaten out for a long time. I miss those snacks."
Jun Mohan's face darkened. This woman couldn't have some pursuit. She only ate junk snacks every day. She didn't have any pursuit. What about steak? Seafood?
"Let's go!" he said lightly.
Wen Xin quickly took off her apron, picked up her cell phone, changed her shoes and followed him.
Downstairs, Wen Xin pointed to the many vendors in the alley across from the school and said, "Uncle, there are all kinds of snacks across the street, such as Qujing fried potatoes, Changsha stinky tofu, Chongqing yogurt noodles, Shanghai wontons, and Liuzhou snail noodles. What do you want to eat?"
