These past few days, seeing how much the old man and Zhang Jun'an cared about Xia Anyan, Sun Xiuzhi began to suspect that she might be pregnant. But when she suddenly heard Xia Anyan say that she had her period, Sun Xiuzhi couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
Really?
Are you really not pregnant?
Sun Xiuzhi glanced at Xia Anyan and saw that her face was pale with pain and she was clutching her stomach.
If she really is pregnant, is it possible to keep the baby? It seems she really isn't pregnant.
"Girl, go lie down on the bed right away. I'll go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of brown sugar water. I'll be right there."
“By the way, your man isn’t here, and there’s no one else here. I’m older than you, so I’ll take care of things.”
Sun Xiuzhi patted her chest, ready to take full responsibility for taking care of Xia Anyan.
But Xia Anyan could never agree to that!
She originally intended to send Sun Xiuzhi away, not to keep her here any longer.
Besides, she didn't have the habit of having others serve her.
"No need, sister-in-law, I can manage on my own," Xia Anyan shook her head and refused.
“For so many years, I’ve been working on my own, and no one has helped me with anything. So, you don’t need to worry. I can take care of myself, and my grandpa and dad are here too. They can help me with things like boiling water.”
Sun Xiuzhi opened her mouth wide, somewhat dumbfounded.
Wasn't it said that Commander Gu's wife was some kind of capitalist's daughter? How come now...
Xia Anyan couldn't help but laugh at Sun Xiuzhi's current appearance.
She could actually understand what Sun Xiuzhi was thinking, but she just felt somewhat helpless.
She is indeed a capitalist's daughter, but what kind of life did the original owner live before?
At home, they were treated worse than even a servant.
The whole family was planning to escape to the port city, but they wanted to arrange for her to go to the countryside. With such a life, what kind of fairy-tale life did they expect her to live?
“Sister-in-law, although my family used to be quite well-off, I wasn’t favored at home.” As Xia Anyan said this, Sun Xiuzhi’s eyes widened even more, and then she turned her head toward Zhang Junan.
There was even a hint of reproach in his eyes.
Xia Anyan realized she had misspoke and originally wanted to correct herself, but then she thought she couldn't let people misunderstand her any longer, so she decided to tell them what had happened.
“This isn’t my biological father; he’s my grandfather’s godson,” Xia Anyan paused, then smiled. “My godfather has been very good to me and has watched me grow up since I was little, so I call him Dad too.”
Sun Xiuzhi understood what was going on.
So, the capitalist's daughter that they all thought she was living such a miserable life?
"Girl, what kind of life did you live before? Tell your sister-in-law, she definitely won't tell anyone."
Xia Anyan's lips twitched.
She was hoping that Sun Xiuzhi would spread the word about her past life. If Sun Xiuzhi didn't tell anyone, what was the point of her talking?
However, given Sun Xiuzhi's loose tongue, it's really... unlikely that she wouldn't tell anyone.
"Sister-in-law, let me pack up first, and then I'll come back and tell you slowly."
Sun Xiuzhi responded and ran to the kitchen.
She ran a few steps quickly, prepared the brown sugar water and other ingredients, and then hurriedly returned to her room.
Zhang Junan and Grandpa Xia were also somewhat surprised when they saw Sun Xiuzhi's appearance.
"Jun'an, what do you think Comrade Sun is rushing off to do?"
Zhang Junan shook his head and continued digging.
He has already started construction in the last couple of days.
Although Gu Shen hasn't returned yet, and they haven't applied to their superiors, they can still do other things besides using the toilet.
They had previously discussed building a storage room here to store miscellaneous items, and now they can start digging the foundation.
Although Zhang Junan had never done these kinds of jobs, he had seen them all after living in the countryside with his grandfather for so many years.
Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he must have seen pigs run, so he worked with exceptional efficiency.
“Dad, what do you think is going on with this little Sun coming here every day? I don’t think Ayan really likes her. Maybe… we shouldn’t let her come anymore?” Zhang Junan asked tentatively.
The old man shook his head: "This is a military family compound, not our hometown."
"Do you think she'll listen to you? Or are you planning to ruin things?"
"You've heard about the kind of people in this whole residential area before. Even if Comrade Sun's husband isn't as powerful as our Ah Shen, he's definitely not bad either."
"If they have a good relationship, but their wives' relationship is strained, how are they supposed to get along in the future? How is Ashen supposed to live in the army?"
Zhang Junan really didn't think that much about it.
When he was in the countryside, he always adhered to the idea that if he didn't like something, he wouldn't go anywhere else.
Moreover, the old man was not in good health and rarely went out.
To be honest, he mostly just wanders around the neighborhood. The only people he regularly contacts are the brigade leader's family.
"Then... Father, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Jun'an scratched his head, really not knowing what to do, and was getting a little anxious.
Grandpa Xia glanced at him: "What's your hurry? Do you really think our girl is a pushover?"
"She can handle it herself. Besides, if she can't, she can just come to us then."
Zhang Junan sighed and continued working.
Alright, anyway, things have come to this point, there's nothing more to say.
Inside the room, Sun Xiuzhi held a bowl of brown sugar water and handed it to Xia Anyan.
I saw her take a big gulp before happily sitting down to the side.
He would occasionally move his hands, tugging at Xia Anyan's clothes, warming her hands, and so on.
Xia Anyan's lips twitched involuntarily a few times; she felt that what she was doing was a bit too much...
"Sister-in-law, you don't really need to do this."
Xia Anyan wanted to refuse.
But who is Sun Xiuzhi?
She still needs to hear gossip from Xia Anyan, so she has to be diligent.
She smiled and said, "Little sister, you don't know anyone here, and I'm the only person you know. It's only right that I treat you well."
Xia Anyan pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a bit of a headache.
She didn't know whether her idea of asking Sun Xiuzhi to pass on the message was right or wrong.
Alright, alright, since I've already said it, I might as well give it a try.
She took Sun Xiuzhi's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, I'm not cold."
"You still want to hear me out, so I'll tell you now."
Sun Xiuzhi almost couldn't help but nod directly.
Xia Anyan sighed deeply and fell into her memories.
“Sister-in-law, actually my biological mother passed away when I was very young. I’m not much different from an orphan.”
