As soon as she appeared in the courtyard, everyone's eyes turned to her.
She held a child in her arms, looking hesitantly at the crowd in the courtyard.
Wang Guihua immediately stood in front of Jiang Wenwan and whispered, turning her head to ask:
Who is this?
What's going on? Did we go to the wrong door?
Jiang Wenwan also felt a bit overwhelmed when she saw this person.
You've had a baby after just a few months apart?
Based on the timeline, it shouldn't be time to start production yet, right?
"Go and call my mother-in-law out right now."
Jiang Wenwan is heavily pregnant herself and has no intention of cleaning up someone else's mess.
Wang Guihua was puzzled, but she still quickly ran to the kitchen.
"Be careful."
What could Zhu Xiaohui possibly do to herself after hearing that?
Comrade Jiang,
Jiang Wenwan glanced at the child she was holding in her arms.
"Comrade Zhu, what's going on here?"
Holding her child in her arms, Zhu Xiaohui glanced around the yard and spotted her father.
"This child's surname is Shen."
That's exactly what happened.
Jiang Wenwan looked at Zhou Yunting, who immediately thought of Shen Chengfeng, the youngest uncle of the Shen family.
She glanced at her father with a complicated expression.
Zhou's father glanced at him sideways.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit strange, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the child's surname wasn't Zhou.
Upon hearing the surname Chen, the others were puzzled, but Shen Meiling, who had come out, paused for a moment.
Then Zhu Xiaohui came this way carrying the child.
He went directly to Shen Meiling and said:
"These are children who ride the wind."
Shen Meiling was stunned and stood there in shock.
"How is this possible? Who gave birth to this child?"
“He was born from my belly. He promised to marry me after I gave birth to the child.”
But that woman remarried him, and not only did he remarry his ex-wife, he also wanted to take my child away.
I heard them talking, and I ran out with my child in my arms that very night.
But I had nowhere to go, I didn't know where to go, so I came here.
I had originally planned to go back to the Qilian Mountains, but I thought you might come here, so I came instead.
Shen Meiling looked at the child that she was handed over, feeling helpless.
"So what are you going to do now?"
What are you going to do about this child?
Zhu Xiaohui held the child, her head bowed, and remained silent.
Shen Meiling was speechless. Her younger brother had actually come to her with this whole mess.
She genuinely didn't know what to do.
Especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year, such a thing suddenly happened, and in front of so many people.
Her face turned red.
I didn't know what to do for a moment.
"I don't want to give him the child; I want to raise him myself."
But I'm currently unemployed, have no income, and don't even have the money to buy her baby formula.
Shen Meiling: "Then, what should we do?"
Jiang Wenwan, being an observer, clearly understood Zhu Xiaohui's intentions.
They just want money!
I might even have to work.
Sure enough, Zhu Xiaohui said, "I don't know what to do either. I have nowhere to go during the Spring Festival."
My child and I haven't eaten for several days. I can manage, but my child can't.
After she finished speaking, the child in her arms started crying like a kitten.
Shen Meiling couldn't bear to see it, and she couldn't just send the people away during the New Year.
"Please come inside and sit down. I'll get the child something to eat."
Jiang Wenwan was truly impressed.
She had baby formula in her room, so I went in and got her a can of it.
"Mom, I have some formula here, can you make some for the little one?"
Then he said to Zhu Xiaohui, "It's the New Year, why don't you come over and have lunch here?"
By the way, you haven't gone to Zhu Xiaomin's place yet!
She was quite worried about you last time.
Wang Guihua immediately ran out.
"I'll go tell Xiaomin."
She said that and ran out of the yard.
Zhu Xiaohui opened her mouth to call out to the person, but they had already disappeared.
She bit her lip, not wanting Zhu Xiaohui to know that she was not doing well.
But in this situation, there's nothing she can do.
She could only sit to the side, holding her child, her face filled with sorrow.
He single-handedly added a touch of sorrow to the otherwise festive atmosphere.
Aunt Liu stood at the kitchen doorway with a spatula in her hand.
With a quick glance, he said:
"Oh dear, what a mess this is! You poor child."
Come on, have a steamed bun first, it's fresh out of the steamer.
After lunch, come with us. I know a new guesthouse has opened on our street.
We checked when we left, and they were still open for the Chinese New Year!
Hearing Aunt Liu say this, Jiang Wenwan's eyes lit up with a smile.
However, she thought it was unlikely that Zhu Xiaohui would be able to go.
This could very well lead to Shen Meiling being blamed.
Or perhaps have Shen Meiling write a letter to her brother.
As expected, Zhu Xiaohui shook her head.
“I can’t go. I have no money. Coming here has cost me all my savings.”
"Then why don't you go home?"
"Oh dear, if your mom knew how badly her daughter was doing out there, she'd be heartbroken."
Zhu Xiaohui didn't dare go back; she felt ashamed too.
Especially when people bring their children home for the Lunar New Year, it definitely adds to the gossip of those aunts and uncles.
Zhu Xiaohui didn't know this aunt and didn't want to talk to her at all.
A little while later, Shen Meiling came back with some formula for her, and she sat down by the wall to hold the baby and feed her the formula.
Zhu Xiaomin was delighted to see Wang Guihua come to pay her respects during the Chinese New Year.
Wang Guihua ran over and first offered New Year's greetings to the people in the courtyard.
"Happy New Year, Auntie! Happy New Year, Battalion Commander Wu! Happy New Year, Minmin!"
