◎Day 6 of the control group◎
Your family.
Jiang Renzhou stared intently at Su Xiaomei with eyes that seemed to want to kill her.
"Come with me, you come to the division commander and we'll get to the bottom of this!"
Su Xiaomei collapsed to the ground, crying, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me. It was Yan Yan..."
"You actually tried to shift the blame onto the child!" Jiang Renzhou's lips trembled with anger.
Everyone noticed the chaos in front of the Jiang family's gate. At this moment, Jiang Renzhou was shouting at the Jun family's gate, and everyone was watching.
Everyone who came in was stunned when they heard this. They never expected Su Xiaomei to be so vicious and to push the blame onto the child.
Everyone in the family compound has witnessed the kind of life Junyan is living.
Jiang Renzhou trembled with rage and punched the wall: "Su Xiaomei! You've gone too far! I'm taking you to the security office right now!"
Su Xiaomei was so frightened that she begged for mercy repeatedly.
The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became heavy. No one expected that Su Xiaomei would do such a thing.
Meanwhile, in the corner, Jun Yanghong watched this scene from afar, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
Su Xiaomei, you've really helped me a lot.
Now Zhou Qingyu should be able to see through Jiang Wanzhou's family. That'll be troublesome, won't it?
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door. Jun Yangjian rushed in, and was stunned by the scene inside.
What happened?
Jiang Renzhou's face immediately darkened when he saw him: "Jun Yangjian, you've come at the right time! Your wife deliberately poisoned my wife, causing her to have a premature birth. How do you plan to handle this? If you can't control your wife, I'll hand her over to the division commander."
Jun Yangjian's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Commander Jiang, don't be angry. I really didn't know she would do such a thing. I will definitely teach her a lesson and give you an explanation."
“While you were away, I also asked her to take good care of your wife.”
"Take care of her and give an explanation?" Jiang Renzhou sneered. "My wife and daughter almost died, and you think a simple explanation is all it takes? Let me tell you, Su Xiaomei must receive the punishment she deserves!"
Seeing Jiang Renzhou's angry expression, Jun Yangjian knew he was in the wrong: "Fine, fine, let the security guards take him away for inspection first. I'll listen to you, do whatever you want..."
When Jiang Renzhou finished dealing with everything, he returned to the hospital and saw Shen Xinglian looking at the baby in her arms through the window.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Jiang Renzhou looked at them and made a silent vow.
He will do everything in his power to protect this family and prevent anyone from harming his family!
The next morning, Jiang Wanzhou got up early and prepared not only breakfast but also Shen Xinglian's postpartum meal.
The day after tomorrow is another exchange meeting, and she made a jar of jam using local pineapples and blueberries.
"What is this for?" Zhou Qingyu asked curiously.
“Since we’re going to be involved in the reception work, I thought we should bring something that represents our underwater culture. My brother and his team have only been building this island for a year, but it’s already very rich in seafood and fruits.” Jiang Wanzhou carefully jarred the jam. “I read in your book that Westerners like to eat jam, so maybe they’ll like our freshly made jam.”
Zhou Qingyu looked at his focused profile and felt a surge of pride.
Thinking of his family, Zhou Qingyu still secretly hoped that this moment could last a little longer.
Just as Zhou Qingyu was about to leave for the farm, Jiang Wanzhou suddenly remembered something and took out a notebook from the drawer: "Qingyu, these are some food recipes I've compiled. If the farm sells any crops, could you buy some for me?"
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Zhou Qingyu flipped through the notebook, looking at the neat handwriting, some of her hand-drawn food sketches, and even some annotations in both Chinese and English.
His English is very standard, no worse than his.
Behind the food are some traditional cultural relics.
Zhou Qingyu suddenly realized that his wife had been quietly preparing and waiting for her own opportunity.
"Wanzhou, you are truly remarkable," Zhou Qingyu said sincerely.
Jiang Wanzhou's eyes flickered, and she smiled faintly: "Didn't we agree to improve together?"
She was simply born in an era of fast-paced travel; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to compete with her predecessors.
The morning light gilded the young couple who were smiling at each other.
Not long after Zhou Qingyu left, a slightly high-pitched female voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Excuse me, is this Officer Zhou's home?"
Jiang Wanzhou went outside and saw a young woman in a floral shirt standing outside the courtyard gate, carrying a net bag containing milk powder and a few oranges.
“I’m his neighbor, my name is Mei Zixian.” The girl smiled warmly, her eyes subtly sizing up Jiang Wanzhou. “I’m working in the countryside around here, and my parents asked me to deliver some things to Brother Yu.”
Jiang Wanzhou was slightly taken aback. She had never heard Zhou Qingyu mention this person before. Sensing no malice, she still politely invited her into the house.
As soon as Mei Zixian entered the room, her eyes quickly swept over the furnishings, and she seemed to be living quite well.
"Brother Yu is so lucky. Your wife looks very capable." Mei Zixian praised him, but then changed the subject, "I heard that Brother Yu was going to marry a country girl and had a big fight with Uncle Zhou. Uncle Zhou even said that if he wanted to marry you, he would have to sever ties with you. I didn't expect you two would still get married."
Jiang Wanzhou frowned slightly: "Qingyu should be quite popular in Beijing."
Mei Zixian's smile froze for a moment: "Of course. Speaking of which, Brother Yu is so talented, he will definitely be transferred to Beijing in the future. Will you go with him, sister-in-law? But there are many rules and complicated interpersonal relationships in Jin City. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"The organization is free to arrange things in the future," Jiang Wanzhou interrupted her gently, handing Mei Zixian a cup of brown sugar tea. "Comrade Mei, please try this tea."
Mei Zixian took the teacup and forced a smile.
She originally wanted to test the waters, but she didn't expect Jiang Wanzhong to be so calm and composed, revealing nothing.
Wasn't she just married into the family for Yu-ge's sake? If Yu-ge hadn't been recognized by Uncle Zhou, she wouldn't have been able to sit still.
Mei Zixian stayed for a while longer, then excused herself and left.
Jiang Wanzhou quickly urged her to stay: "Qingyu is probably coming back soon, won't you stay and say hello?"
"No, no, I have an appointment." Mei Zixian waved her hand and hurried away.
Jiang Wanzhou picked up the stewed old hen soup and went to the hospital.
“A neighbor of Zhou Qingyu came over and told me that she had cut off contact with her family in order to marry me,” Jiang Wanzhou frowned.
Shen Xinglian ate her food: "So what are you really thinking? Are you angry that he kept it from you, or are you worried about his relationship with his family?"
“I’m living with him, not his family. His wife is his stepmother, and with a stepmother, there’s a high probability of a stepfather, but he’s definitely his biological father.” Jiang Wanzhou sighed. “Looks like we need to work harder.”
"Don't be the only one trying. I heard your older brother caused a scene at the Jun family's house. I heard from Aunt Li that this is considered bullying women and is not good for family unity. Your brother will probably be punished." Shen Xinglian smiled.
"Going back to your hometown? You can still laugh like that? Well, then you'll have another mother-in-law. Don't you understand what a mother-in-law is like?" Jiang Wanzhou teased, going along with the point.
Then Jiang Wanzhou thought, "Wait a minute, wasn't there something wrong with the fish soup? Why is the victim still being punished?"
Shen Xinglian lowered her eyes: "There's a problem. But it was Junyan who was accidentally injured."
Jiang Wanzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Ahhh!"
"Why are you looking at me? It's that little girl. Su Xiaomei really wants to have her own child. Although she didn't hit the Jun family's child, she locked him in the room and wouldn't let him out, and even didn't give him clothes to wear. Sometimes he went hungry."
"I ran out hungry and overheard my biological father and stepmother asking for a second child."
"I don't know where I heard it, but pregnant women can't eat hawthorn, so I put it in the fish soup."
Jiang Wanzhou: "..."
Shen Xinglian nodded quickly.
Jiang Wanzhou remained silent: "..."
"Alright." Shen Xinglian took a bite of rice and brought it to Jiang Wanzhou's lips. "I'm not going to argue with a child."
"Fortunately, neither I nor the child are hurt. Your brother said the child's surname is also Shen, what do you think would be a good name for him, Mingmei?"
“Mingmei, Mingyuan. They sound like siblings.” Jiang Wanzhou felt a tightness in her chest and opened her mouth to eat.
As a result, I felt nauseous as soon as I swallowed it.
After vomiting, I saw Shen Xinglian's knowing look.
Shen Xinglian sighed.
"Young people are so healthy, they got it so quickly."
Jiang Wanzhou pursed her lips and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"As the old saying goes, not using contraception means you're trying to conceive. Don't tell me you're following the safe period rule."
Jiang Wanzhou was getting restless from what she was being said, so she went to tickle Shen Xinglian.
Shen Xinglian quickly begged for mercy.
When Zhou Qingyu returned home, the sun was setting.
He pushed open the courtyard gate and saw Jiang Wanzhou sitting under the cucumber trellis reading a book.
"You're back." Jiang Wanzhou looked up, her smile gentle. "Was today smooth?"
"Everything went smoothly. I bought everything you wanted, but the quantities are a bit large. I'll bring it over to you when I deliver the food to the cafeteria tomorrow. I've already spoken to my brother, and he'll send two orderly over." Zhou Qingyu washed her hands, changed out of her dirty coat, and saw her copying an English essay. "This is..."
"Let me organize my thoughts," Jiang Wanzhou said, closing the book. "It might come in handy when receiving foreign guests, but I'm afraid I'll get nervous. If I get nervous, I'll forget how to say it in English."
Zhou Qingyu chuckled softly.
Jiang Wanzhou hit him on the shoulder with a book, glaring angrily at Zhou Qingyu.
Zhou Qingyu hissed in pain.
Jiang Wanzhou quickly asked, "With such little force, how could you have injured someone? Where were you hurt? What happened?"
Zhou Qingyu held her hand: "I'm fine. I encountered a thief today and got a little hurt."
Jiang Wanzhou looked at him suspiciously: "It's okay if the things are lost, as long as you're alright."
"I……"
Jiang Wanzhou grasped his hand and placed it on her stomach: "From now on, there's a little one for you to protect."
Zhou Qingyu's eyes lit up: "Wanzhou, you..."
Jiang Wanzhou stared straight at him: "Congratulations on becoming a father."
Zhou Qingyu quickly picked up Jiang Wanzhou in a princess carry and spun her around.
I'm going to be a dad!
Jiang Wanzhou hugged Zhou Qingyu tightly: "Put me down! Zhou Qingyu!"
Looking into her clear eyes, Zhou Qingyu quickly apologized, clearly too excited to speak, stammering, "I'm sorry, Wanzhou, I was too excited."
“I…” Zhou Qingyu suddenly remembered the college entrance examination, “I’m sorry, I originally planned to have the baby later.”
