Chapter 184 Chapter 184

Wang Tingting frowned and said nothing.

He Aini was not worried and continued with a smile: "I told her a long time ago that if she couldn't give birth to a child, she should adopt a child as soon as possible, but she just didn't listen. After trying for so many years, isn't it that she has to take this step in the end?"

Zhou Aixiang noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she laughed and said, "Hey, why are you saying these things! Your eldest child is almost ten years old this year, isn't he planning to go to elementary school?"

He Aini said nonchalantly: "What's the point of going to school? You'll have to go to the countryside in the future! Why waste the money? Right, Lin'er?"①

Lin Yue: ...

"Oh, I plan to send my children Lingling and Wanli to elementary school next spring."

"Why are you wasting that money? Even if you go to school, you'll just learn farming and memorize quotations. Isn't there anything you can't learn at home?"

He Aini was talking halfway when she saw Lin Yue's serious attitude. She rolled her eyes and changed the subject, "But we can't let the children be blind. It's good for them to go to school. It just so happens that Da Shuanzi and Danizi are grown up now. They can go to school and keep Zhang Wanli and Zhang Linghan company!"

She smiled at Lin Yue, her expression showing some amicability, "You kids are of similar age and from the same hometown. You have a lot to talk about in common, so you should play together more often, don't you think?"

Her words were so purposeful that everyone in the room looked at each other, not knowing how to continue the topic. Lin Yue laughed a few times, trying to change the topic, and turned to Aunt Hua and said, "Auntie, why didn't you bring the child over?"

"Her mother was annoyed that the child was not seen at home all day, and was afraid that she would become petty when she grew up, so she took her out today."

Once a mother starts talking about her children, she can't stop. Before they could finish their conversation, He Aini interrupted and said, "If you ask me, this woman still needs a child. Look at Zhang Yulan, how pitiful she is!"

This He Aini gave Lin Yue the feeling that she was crazy, and her words seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble. Her patience had already run out, and seeing Wang Tingting's face also sank, she simply said: "Is the child going to sleep? Do you want to feed him?"

Wang Tingting was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

Lin Yue looked at the other three people apologetically, and the meaning was self-evident. But unexpectedly, the three people in the room did not react at all, but instead looked at Wang Tingting steadily.

Lin Yue paused, and suddenly remembered that in this era, breastfeeding is not something that needs to be avoided. Not to mention that the room is full of women, even if men are present, many people have no awareness of avoiding it.

Wang Tingting put her hands on the hem of her clothes, feeling awkward and caught in a dilemma.

This was the limitation of the times. Lin Yue couldn't blame them for anything, and he also knew that he couldn't shake their minds, so he simply said, "Why don't we go to my room and talk, and let the child sleep for a while."

He Aini said nonchalantly, "Hey, that's nothing. Let me tell you, this kid isn't afraid of noise. He sleeps soundly even when we're talking next to him. All my kids are like this!"

Auntie Hua also laughed and said, "You young people are just shy. There's nothing to be ashamed of when you're breastfeeding! Everyone has been through this before, and no one will laugh at you!"

These words made Wang Tingting blush.

He Aini had been here for so long, but this was the first time that someone agreed with her, and the other person was Aunt Hua, who usually disliked her the most. She immediately felt a little proud. She raised her eyebrows, with a smug expression of "see, I told you", leaned forward, and stretched out her hand to tease the child, but was stopped by Wang Tingting.

She was not unhappy. Instead, she took the opportunity to talk to Wang Tingting: "Nurse Wang, it must be difficult for you to take care of the child by yourself, right? Don't blame me for being nosy. If you want to get married again in the future, this child will be..."

Before she could even utter the words "burden", Wang Tingting stood up and sneered, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do today? Do you feel uncomfortable and want me to stretch your muscles?"

Lin Yue's face was also very ugly. She opened the door and said coldly: "You should leave quickly, otherwise, you will be worse off than Zhang Yulan in the same way she left yesterday."

He Aini was shameless. She stood up slowly, as if she couldn't read other people's expressions, and said with a smile: "Big sister, I'm saying this for your own good. There's no need for you to be so angry. Don't you plan to get married again in this life?"

Wang Tingting disdained to answer her and just snorted coldly.

"You're still angry. You just haven't experienced the hardships of life. When you grow up, you'll know that we're all doing this for your own good! As a woman, you'll have to get married sooner or later. Rather than letting your child suffer with you when the time comes, it's better to find a good family for him now. Besides, we're all from the same compound, so we can always see each other in the future. Isn't it better than just giving your child to someone else in a few years?"

He Aini shook her head as if she was looking at an ignorant child, with a look of earnest advice.

Lin Yue didn't say much, he just pushed the man out the door and said coldly: "If you don't want to leave, I don't mind sending you away."

He Aini was pushed out of the door, her face darkened, she pinched her waist and scolded: "You are really a dog-bitten Lu Dongbin, you don't know the good heart, no wonder your man left you and the child and ran away, I think you have a problem with your brain, you don't know what's good for you!"

Wang Tingting suddenly picked up the stool she had just sat on and threw it at him, cursing, "Go back and tell Zhang Yulan to give up on that idea. Not to mention asking someone like you to be a lobbyist, even asking the emperor to do it won't work!"

He Aini jumped to the side like a wolf, avoiding the stool that was thrown at her. She was so scared that her face turned pale, and she cursed angrily: "What a lunatic! Okay, I'll wait and see how you regret it later!"

After the people left, Zhou Aixiang and Auntie Hua were both embarrassed and hurriedly clarified: "We, we really just came here to chat, we didn't mean to help Zhang Yulan!"

Lin Yue pinched his brows and said helplessly: "Auntie, sister-in-law, you have seen it too. I really can't receive you today. You should go back first!"

After encountering this kind of thing, the two of them really couldn't stay here any longer, so they immediately stood up and said goodbye.

When they reached the door, Aunt Hua stopped again and whispered to Lin Yue and Wang Tingting, "There's no need for you to be angry with He Aini. She won't be able to stay in the camp for much longer!"

Lin Yue thought of the incident He Aini had caused last time, and some thoughts flashed through her mind. She met Aunt Hua's affirmative eyes and immediately understood.

Lin Yue was worried about Wang Tingting's condition, so he didn't see them off. He turned back to the house and went to see Wang Tingting.

Wang Tingting was not as sad as she was yesterday. She even had the energy to make a joke: "These people know that I have been unhappy these days, so they come here to let me vent! But it's a pity that none of them are brave enough to fight with me, otherwise I will be embarrassed by them!"

Lin Yue laughed out loud and said, "It seems that Zhang Yulan really can't find anyone to help her. She even had the brains to ask He Aini to be her lobbyist. I don't know what she was thinking. Could it be that she knew you wouldn't agree and wanted to annoy us?"

Wang Tingting snorted and said nothing more, "No, I'm really mad. I must eat something delicious at noon. How about hot and sour noodles?"

Lin Yue felt relieved when he heard her say that. He deliberately teased her, "I thought you wanted to eat something delicious. Are you satisfied with just a bowl of hot and sour noodles? Okay! Wait, I'll make you a bowl of hot and sour noodles without chili!"

Wang Tingting wailed: "Then what's the point of eating! I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, you can at least give me a little more!"

Lin Yue pointed at the boy lying on the kang and said with a smile, "I don't have any objection, but I'm afraid he will make trouble with you."

Wang Tingting looked back at her fat son, and instantly became depressed. She nodded and said, "Okay, then don't add any spicy sauce!"

When Zhang Yuandong came back, Lin Yue had just served three bowls of hot and sour noodles on the table. He put the cowhide bag on the table and said to Lin Yue, "These hot and sour noodles may not be enough. Is it too late to make them now?"

Lin Yue laughed and scolded him: "Need you tell me? I know how big your appetite is. Wait, there's more in the pot!"

Zhang Yuandong held her arm and explained, "It wasn't me who ate it, it was the kids. This morning I received a call from my uncle's family, asking Xiao Shitou to go home. I called Xiao Shitou over to answer the phone, and the kids all knew about it, so he should be coming back soon to make trouble."

Before he finished speaking, five children ran in one after another.

Lingling ran the fastest. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted, "Mom, uncle wants to let Little Stone go home. Call uncle and tell him not to let Little Stone go!"

Wanli also spoke up, "Yes, mother, there is no red education class or primary school in the Galaxy Brigade. Little Shitou has no place to go to school if he returns. Let him stay here and go to school with us!"

Little Stone's eyes were red, and he looked at Lin Yue hopefully, wanting to get an answer.

Having lived here for so long, he actually missed home quite a bit, and sometimes he would hide in his quilt and cry secretly. But compared to that, he liked life here more, where Lingling and Wanli were, and his uncle and aunt were very kind to him, not to mention that there were so many brave warriors here, for a little boy of his age, this was simply a dream place.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't stay here for long. His father had called him several times. The phone bill was so expensive, and his family didn't know how distressed they were. This time they specifically asked him to come over to answer the phone call to give him an ultimatum.

Lin Yue met Xiao Shitou's nervous gaze and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Even if we want to go back, we have to wait until the weekend. I will discuss this matter with your uncle first, and then tell you after we have discussed it. Is that okay?"

Ling Ling said anxiously: "Mom, but you must convince uncle!"

Lin Yue did not agree to her, but just said: "I will convey your intentions to my uncle, don't worry."

The children didn't hear the difference and thought their mother agreed, so they cheered happily.

Little Mushroom anxiously grabbed Lingling's clothes and asked, "Brother Little Stone is not leaving?"

Lingling nodded, "Yes!"

Lin Yue was suddenly overwhelmed. I wonder if these kids would be angry when Xiao Shitou left?

Fortunately, Lin Yue took into consideration the large appetites of several people at home, so she soaked a lot of sweet potato vermicelli in a basin, which could be cooked for the children now.

Of course, in the end only the three older children ate the hot and sour noodles. Little Mushroom and Sisi were still too young, and their stomachs were not suited to eating too much of this kind of thing. They could only eat other foods prepared by their mother and watch others eat them happily.
