Everyone sat at Wenxi's house for a while, drank tea, and ate something before saying goodbye to Wenxi. Some went back to their dormitories, and others went home.
In the afternoon, Gu Huai'an, Li Jianguo, Lu Mingxiu and Zhou Bai also came over. However, Xu Mengying and her child also came. Wen Xi only gave the child a red envelope because of Gu Huai'an.
Seeing Xu Mengying touching her belly from time to time, Wen Xi was very surprised. Her child was only six months old, not even four months along yet, and she was pregnant again?
Moreover, the fact that she was able to discover she was pregnant meant that she had been pregnant for at least a month, meaning that she was pregnant with her second child when her daughter was only two or three months old.
Wen Xi glanced at Gu Huai'an subconsciously. She realized that she had misjudged him. Although he wasn't a bad man, he was heartless and didn't care about his wife at all. He got her pregnant again so quickly, and wasn't he worried about her health?
If he didn't like Xu Mengying, he could have clearly refused. He didn't refuse; he agreed to be with Xu Mengying and to marry her.
But after they got together, he treated Xu Mengying like this. Did he want Xu Mengying to have many children, so that her health would deteriorate, and then...?
This kind of man is truly despicable. He can ruin you and then blame it all on you, completely absolving himself of any responsibility.
However, this was just Wen Xi's own guess, so she didn't say anything, otherwise what if she wronged someone?
It can only be said that Gu Huai'an's behavior gave Wen Xi another layer of understanding about men. In any case, from now on, no one can coax her to do anything she doesn't want to do; she will only follow her own heart.
When everyone came to Wenxi's house to wish them a Happy New Year, Qin Mi stayed in the kitchen the whole time. After everyone left, Qin Mi had already prepared dinner.
After having dinner early, everyone took turns washing up and then went back to their rooms. With less than a year until the college entrance examination, Wenxi decided to buy a radio after the new year so that she could stay informed about the resumption of the college entrance examination and avoid missing it.
After all, that was a matter from her past life. Moreover, after the college entrance examination was reinstated, that family kept her confined at home and prevented her from taking the exam. They didn't let her do anything but serve their family.
Although she still feels immense hatred when she thinks about it now, she has already taken her revenge.
After Qiao Lanlan came to the house, she was obedient at first, but later she probably felt that she would marry Yan Zheng and be in charge of the household, and that her parents-in-law would have to listen to her, so she became proud.
When her mother called her to get up and take care of Binbin at night, she started to refuse and would even steal Binbin's milk. Her mother would have fierce arguments with her every day.
Despite her exhaustion, Yan's mother still felt that Wenxi and Jiangyue were better, but neither of her sons had a chance with either of them.
When Qiao Lanlan, not wanting to hear Binbin's crying, gave him sleeping pills, Yan's mother completely exploded. She immediately called the matchmaker over and ordered the matchmaker to take Qiao Lanlan back.
Yan Zheng also said that he would not marry a troublemaker.
In the end, Qiao Lanlan was taken away, but according to the original agreement, she was to help take care of the children at the Yan family for five yuan a month, and the matter of the blind date should not be told to others, so as not to affect each other's reputation.
Even if word gets out, it doesn't matter. Since Qiao Lanlan came, Yan Zheng has rarely come home and hasn't slept at home at night. If Qiao Lanlan talks nonsense, it won't affect him.
Moreover, the strict mother said that if Qiao Lanlan dared to talk about these things, she would report her to the police and have her arrested, so that the whole world would know that she had given the baby sleeping pills.
"Mom, you've seen it yourself, you can't find anyone good through blind dates. So stop worrying about me. I'll get married when I meet the right person. If you're just looking for someone to take care of Binbin, you can just find a relative, or you can send Binbin to my older brother and sister-in-law." Yan Zheng said helplessly, "My older brother and sister-in-law are really bold. They don't want to raise their child themselves and send him back to us to raise. Aren't they afraid that their child won't care about them when they get old? If it were a child I raised with great difficulty, I would naturally make the child be filial to me, not to them."
As Yan Zheng was speaking, he suddenly froze. The whole family was counting on him to get married and come back to help his mother take care of Binbin. In other words, no matter who his wife was, once she entered the family, she would have to help his older brother and sister-in-law raise their child.
No wonder Jiang Yue asked some seemingly provocative questions back then; it turns out she understood everything and didn't want to become a 'stepmother' to two other people's children as soon as she entered the house.
Lili and Binbin are his nephew and niece. Even if he has the responsibility and obligation to raise them, no one else has that responsibility and obligation.
Moreover, taking care of other people's children is a huge responsibility; if they get hurt or injured, the other person will probably complain endlessly.
What decent girl from a respectable family would want to jump into a fire pit?
But he couldn't figure it out, which made Jiang Yue hesitate for a while before she abandoned him.
He had a good job, but he didn't see things as clearly as Jiang Yue. He never saw through his parents' intentions.
They just wanted to find a free, good-tempered nanny to take care of Lili and Binbin.
Why not hire a nanny?
That's because hiring a nanny costs money!
Moreover, there aren't many good nannies; most are like Qiao Lanlan, who likes to take advantage of others, and people don't dare to entrust their children to such people.
Mother Yan did not take Yan Zheng's words to heart. She was determined to find him a good wife.
This way, someone can help take care of Lili and Binbin, and someone can also manage the household.
She and her husband can then enjoy their retirement in peace, and she can also train Yan Zheng's wife to better serve the Yan family in the future.
When the matchmaker brought several girls to meet for marriage, Yan's mother took a liking to one of them.
She understood what Yan Zheng valued in Qiao Lanlan. Among those girls, Qiao Lanlan was the prettiest, but she was too vicious. What good was her looks?
The girl she had her eye on wasn't particularly pretty, and her skin wasn't fair either. But if she could marry Yan Zheng, she would feel it was her good fortune, and she would be willing to do anything for him.
So, the strict mother asked the matchmaker to bring the girl over after the New Year. She didn't want the two of them to develop feelings for each other anymore; she just wanted them to get married to avoid any more problems.
The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year. Qin Mi had to go to work, so she left early in the morning.
In the morning, Jin Changqing and Gu Yuanshan returned to Fengshou Brigade. Jin Changqing asked Gu Yuanshan to tidy up the house, while she took her things to Wenxi's house next door.
