Qin Wan, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu were chatting happily, bursting into laughter from time to time.
Just then, a shout suddenly came from outside the car.
"Oh, you are finally back!" The voice was crisp and loud.
Several people hurriedly looked out of the car window with curiosity, and saw a figure pushing a baby carriage walking towards them quickly.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Wang Yanhong.
After Wang Yanhong gave birth to twin sons, her family bought an extra-large stroller that could accommodate two babies at the same time.
Seeing this, Qin Wan quickly stretched his head out, smiled at Wang Yanhong, and asked kindly:
"Hey, Yanhong, are you playing here?"
Wang Yanhong's face was filled with a bright smile, and she nodded in response:
"Yeah, it's warm today, and there's no wind at all, so I took the kids out for a walk. How about getting out of the car and playing with me for a while?"
Qin Wan looked at the four little guys who were already sleeping in the car, shook his head helplessly and said:
"Oh, no, no. Our four little kids are all asleep. I have to quickly carry them to bed and let them have a good sleep."
The two talked as the car slowly moved forward. Soon, the car had distanced itself from Wang Yanhong.
Aunt Zhang, who was sitting in the car, looked at Wang Yanhong who was gradually going away, and could not help but curl her lips and muttered with some dissatisfaction:
"Humph, if she was able to give birth to the twins successfully, it was all thanks to our Wan Wan! But when she heard Mei Fang say she wanted to take revenge on Lu Yu, she immediately hid away. It's really speechless!"
Although Aunt Yu didn't say anything, she curled her lips.
It turned out that ever since Mei Fang vowed to take revenge on Lu Yu, Wang Yanhong's mother-in-law had given Wang Yanhong a death order with a serious and unquestionable face:
"Stay away from Qin Wan from now on, and never bring your two children to get close to the quadruplets again!"
Not only that, the mother-in-law also said confidently and eloquently:
"We don't know what methods the Mei family will use to retaliate against the Lu family! Think about it, your man is just a poor boy from the countryside. It's not easy for him to climb the ladder to the position of battalion commander step by step. If he is accidentally implicated by Lu Yu, the consequences will be unimaginable! So, no matter what, you can't let this matter affect your man's future."
Faced with her mother-in-law's tough attitude and convincing words, Wang Yanhong was a little at a loss for a moment.
Perhaps it was because her deep-seated concern for her husband's career prevailed, or perhaps it was out of obedience to her mother-in-law's authority, but in any case, she finally nodded and agreed for some unknown reason.
You know, Mei Fang has the huge Mei family as support behind her.
Mei Fang's father is not only the undisputed leader of the Mei family, but also a powerful and awe-inspiring teacher.
Because of this, most of the military wives in the family compound chose to keep their distance when dealing with Qin Wan and the four lovely little ones, and expressed their attitude towards the Mei family by keeping a respectful distance.
In fact, Qin Wan understood very well why everyone did this, and he could also understand Wang Yanhong.
After all, people tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. In such a complex and difficult situation, it is human nature to want to stay out of it.
However, although it is acceptable intellectually, it is inevitable to feel deeply disappointed emotionally.
How can it not be heartbreaking to see that the once close neighborhood relationships have now become so cold and distant?
Since then, not to mention Aunt Ge's explicit order to forbid them from approaching, even if she allowed them to do so, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Yu and others still did not dare to approach Qin Wan's family easily.
Seeing this situation, Wang Yanhong felt really sorry.
So, she found an opportunity to secretly find Qin Wan, explained to her in a low voice, and comforted her kindly, asking Qin Wan not to take these things to heart.
Qin Wan smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring sun, and seemed to contain tolerance and understanding of everything.
Since then, when the two met again, they still appeared to be intimate and warm on the surface.
However, only Wang Yanhong herself knew that changes had quietly taken place between them, and the feeling of being close and able to talk about anything seemed to be gradually fading away.
Wang Yanhong couldn't hold back her inner doubts and anxieties any longer, and finally confided her strange feelings to her good friend Ge Xiuxiu.
After hearing this, Ge Xiuxiu couldn't help laughing and jokingly said:
"Oh, Yanhong, are you being too sensitive? Wanwan's family has been so busy lately, how could they have the energy to take care of us? Not to mention you, even I haven't been able to play with her for several days."
Despite Ge Xiuxiu's comfort, Wang Yanhong's doubts were not eliminated.
On the contrary, as time went by, she felt that Qin Wan was getting further and further away from her heart.
Seeing that Wang Yanhong was worried about this matter all day long, Ge Xiuxiu gradually lost her patience.
Finally one day, when Wang Yanhong mentioned this matter again, Ge Xiuxiu said to her impatiently:
"Hmph, even if they really did break up with you, it wouldn't be surprising! They're in trouble, and you all avoid them like the plague, afraid of being implicated.
You treat your friends like this, so why do you expect them to treat you the same way? "
Hearing this, Wang Yanhong's face suddenly turned red and her eyes became moist in an instant.
She stiffened her neck and tried to defend herself:
"But how can I be blamed for this? It's all because of my mother-in-law. You know how difficult she is! If I don't listen to her, I don't know how much trouble will arise..."
As he spoke, his voice couldn't help but take on a hint of tears.
Yes, isn't all your mother-in-law's fault? You were afraid of her difficulty, so you ended up siding with her.
"Since that's the case, how can you expect to treat Wanwan the same way you did in the past? You're afraid of your difficult mother-in-law, and Wanwan is just as afraid of your difficult mother-in-law!"
So, why do you ask Wanwan to still treat you sincerely and without reservation as before?
After hearing this, Wang Yanhong's eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
In fact, she knew very well that her request was indeed a bit excessive. As Xiuxiu said, she couldn't even treat Wanwan the same way as before, so how could she have the face to force Wanwan to be consistent?
Not long after, Ge Xiuxiu recounted the conversation verbatim to Qin Wan.
