Chapter 373 Why hasn’t my period come yet?
Xiaotian hurriedly picked up the money and stuffed it into his pocket, hesitating: "Mom, this is... this is mine..."
"Where did it come from?" Liu Juan asked again patiently.
From what she could see, it seemed to be quite a lot of money.
Where on earth did this brat get this?
Although Liu Juan is not well educated, she knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
She would never believe that her eldest son could be so lucky as to earn money every now and then.
The little boy's purple face was filled with helplessness. His two little hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, but his mouth was as serious as if nothing had happened, and he refused to say a word.
"Speak!" Liu Juan raised her voice and raised her hand to spank Xiaotian: "Tell me clearly where this money came from! Did you steal money from others?!"
Zhao Ting stopped Liu Juan and said, "Liu Juan, you have to change your temper and stop beating the child for no reason! Why don't you just ask nicely?"
After hearing what Zhao Ting said, Liu Juan calmed down and put down her hand, coaxing:
"Xiaotian, Mom will give you one more chance. As long as you tell Mom where the money came from, Mom will not beat you no matter what."
But Xiaotian was extremely stubborn tonight and still didn't say a word.
Liu Juan was so angry that she grabbed Xiaotian's ear and said, "Are you going to tell me or not?!"
Xiaotian’s little face was twisted into a ball and he burst into tears with a “wow” sound.
Liu Juan was worried that Xiaotian would become a bad student and was very anxious, but Xiaotian's mouth seemed to be glued shut.
Seeing that Liu Juan was about to hit him again, Wu Yu'e couldn't help but speak up for Xiaotian: "Stop it, Sister Liu Juan. He Peng only has this one son. Do you want to beat him to death here? You can't keep hitting your child!"
Zhao Ting frowned and agreed, "That's right. You can't teach your children like this! If you beat your children all the time, what can you teach them? The more you beat them, the less Xiaotian will listen to you!"
Listening to the two of them talking and gesticulating to each other, Liu Juan's face turned visibly ugly.
She has always had a bad temper, and He Peng often said that she was like a firecracker that would jump at the slightest touch.
In addition, she was already very anxious, and these two people looked like they were lecturing her, so Liu Juan exploded on the spot and started talking without any regard for the severity of the situation.
"You two, one of you didn't get pregnant, and the other couldn't get pregnant, yet you come here to teach me how to educate children? Isn't this funny? Can't you just shut up and watch from the side like Ye Ying did?"
Zhao Ting: “….”
Wu Yu'e: "....."
Zhao Ting's lung was poked, and her face turned pale as she said, "Liu Juan, I think you are a big fool! You are such a fool, can you even talk?"
"From now on, whether the child is lost or something else happens, don't ask me and Yu'e for help. You don't know what's good for you! Anyway, Xiaotian is your son, not ours, so you can beat him however you want!"
After arguing with Liu Juan, Zhao Ting gave Wu Yu'e a look, and the two turned around and left.
Liu Juan finally realized that she had said something she didn't want to say. A trace of regret flashed across her face, and she slapped her thigh hard:
"Oh no, I didn't know how to control my words and made people angry and leave."
Ye Ying, who was watching all this silently, said calmly: "Let's go back first. This is not the place to talk. Your eldest son's face is almost frozen."
Liu Juan nodded, grabbed Xiaotian's hand tightly, and dragged Rensheng back.
Looking at the mother and son's gradually receding backs, Ye Ying shook her head.
She didn't go back directly, but went to the gate.
"Excuse me, did Captain Ji call back today?"
The sentry in the duty booth looked indifferent and shook his head without hesitation, "No."
"Is that so?" Ye Ying couldn't hide her disappointment. She took a few steps and turned back: "Then do you have their phone number? Or do you know how to contact them?"
The sentry still shook his head.
"Okay." Ye Ying nodded and walked slowly into the courtyard with a slightly lost feeling.
She could only keep telling herself that it might be inconvenient for him or that he didn't have the conditions to call her.
It's only been twenty days, and more than ten days have passed now. It went by very quickly.
At night, Ye Ying suffered from insomnia again.
I don't know why, but I just can't fall asleep.
I finally made it to dawn, but my feet were still cold.
Today is a rare sunny day, and Ye Ying plans to wash and hang out the clothes.
Half an hour later, when she was hanging clothes in the corridor, she ran into Xu Qiao who had just returned from doing laundry.
Xu Qiao greeted her warmly and chatted with her casually while hanging clothes.
"Hey, let me tell you, my husband called me yesterday! It's snowing so heavily over there, the snow is as high as my knees!"
Ye Ying was startled and stopped hanging clothes: "Did your family call you?"
"Yeah!" Xu Qiao nodded, with a smile on her face.
"He also told me to fill a bottle with snow when I come back! Hehe."
Ye Ying was a little absent-minded, and she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "That's good, they will be back in a few days."
Xu Qiao shook her clothes and said, "Yeah, that's right! It's coming soon, probably in the next few days."
Ye Ying nodded, and then she could no longer hear what Xu Qiao said.
She returned to the house absentmindedly.
It seems that Ji Lianqi is not without the conditions to contact me.
The night before he left, he clearly promised her that he would call her when he was free.
But he didn't do it, and under the circumstances, he didn't make a single phone call.
This was in the 1980s. In the 21st century with advanced communications, if a man and a woman didn't contact each other for three days, it would be considered a breakup!
She understood that Ji Lianqi most likely had his own difficulties, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Ye Ying knew very well that Ji Lianqi had feelings for her, even though she had warned herself dozens of times not to think too much, not to be hypocritical, and not to act pretentiously.
But she still began to have wild thoughts uncontrollably.
Ye Ying scratched her hair in annoyance. She was very annoyed with herself like this.
Is this a love affair?
She doesn't want to fall in love with the brain.
The word "love" was too hot and heavy, and she never allowed herself to think about it.
She has never faced her true feelings towards Ji Lianqi.
From being a 'roommate' at the beginning, to "giving it a try" later, in fact, for her, these two statuses were both about living together.
Anyway, he is a good man and he is good-looking, so it should be nice to live with him.
But I don't know when it started, but it seems to have slowly started to change.
She began to care about little things and details.
Ye Ying felt that she seemed to have fallen completely in love with Ji Lianqi.
She forced herself to stop daydreaming and her eyes fell on the calendar on the wall.
December 15th, this was yesterday’s date, and I haven’t even had time to turn the page.
He passed away at the beginning of the month, and it's already the middle of the month.
Ye Ying walked over and tore off yesterday's date.
December 15th....
Looking at these numbers, Ye Ying suddenly got a shock.
It’s already this late, why hasn’t her period come yet?
Usually he is very punctual, but now a week has passed and there is still no news. Could it be......
She reached out and touched her chest in panic, but there was no sign that her period was about to come!
