Chapter 44 Going to the Captain's House
After arriving in the village, Xu Wanning took a few bags of cakes to the team leader's house. There had been no news from Xu Xu and Xu Li since she went to the countryside.
When she first went to the countryside, Xu Xu told her not to contact her family. It has been almost a month since she went there, and she is a little worried about Xu Xu and Xu Li's situation, so she plans to ask the team leader to help find out.
After a while, Xu Wanning arrived at the captain's house and knocked on the door.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Who is it?"
"Auntie, I'm Xu Wanning!"
As soon as the captain's wife Li Meiyun opened the door and saw her, she quickly invited her in.
"Ningning is here!"
"Come on, come in and sit down!"
Xu Wanning followed her into the yard with a smile and asked in a low voice:
“Aunt, is Uncle Shen at home?”
Li Meiyun felt that this girl was too distant. She always brought something with her every time she came. She had watched this girl grow up since she was a child, and in her heart she was like her own daughter.
"Your uncle is at home!"
"Chengjun, come out quickly, Ningning is here!"
"Ningning, you said you would come, so come on. What else are you bringing?"
"Your uncle and your aunt are not outsiders."
"Why are you so polite!"
Xu Wanning's mouth curled up slightly when she heard this, knowing in her heart that Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen had never thought of coveting her things.
As she was unfamiliar with the village, she often had to trouble her family, and she would feel bad if she didn't bring some things with her.
"Auntie, I just bought these cakes when I went to town and gave them to the children."
"It's not something expensive, just a small snack for the kids."
Zhang Honghua, the captain's daughter-in-law, came out of the house wearing dirty clothes, with messy hair, and a nonchalant grin on her face.
"Oh, is Xu Zhiqing here?"
“You brought so many things!”
"Xu Zhiqing, what delicious food did you bring?"
"Show it to me."
"I'm just hungry!"
As soon as Zhang Honghua saw the pastries in Xu Wanning's hand, her eyes began to light up and she walked over to grab them.
With a "pop" sound.
Li Meiyun raised her hand and slapped her hand down. Seeing her daughter-in-law's sloppy appearance, she felt even more angry.
"You're still hungry? How dare you say that? You ate three people's meal by yourself this morning."
"Zhang Honghua, these cakes were given to the children by Xu Zhiqing. As an aunt, aren't you ashamed to fight with them for food?"
"Get out of here quickly."
Zhang Honghua immediately became angry. Her mother was right. This old woman was too partial to the first wife and only knew how to bully the second wife all day long.
"Mom, how can you be partial?"
"Isn't my belly also pregnant with Weiguo's child?"
"Isn't that also the grandson of your old Shen family?"
"What's wrong with me having some cakes?"
Li Meiyun started to have a headache as soon as she saw her young daughter-in-law. After dragging Zhang Honghua home from Xu Wanning that day, she originally wanted her son Shen Weiguo to send her back to her parents' home.
Who knew that Zhang Honghua was found to be pregnant on the same day. After all, he was her grandson. For the sake of the child in her belly, she and Shen Chengjun had to grit their teeth and endure it.
