Chapter 23 Hush Money, Mutual Testing (2/2)



He took another bite of his own, gesturing excitedly, "It's sweet too!"

Liang Guiying was charmed by her granddaughter's cuteness and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Liang Guiying finished the candy first. After washing her hands, she returned and handed the bag of clothes to Zhou Yue: "Try them on. If they don't fit, I'll take them to exchange tomorrow."

Zhou Yue held dragon beard candy in one hand and clothes in the other, looking somewhat at a loss.

In her twenty-odd years of life, this was the first time someone had thought of her in everything they did. She got her share of the dragon beard candy and the clothes they bought.

The feeling of being remembered by someone feels so unfamiliar.

That's really nice.

Zhou Yue's steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce were ready, only lacking a vegetable dish. Liang Guiying quickly stir-fried the vegetable dish and served it.

After feeding Niannian until she was half full, Liang Guiying let her eat on her own. Then she asked Zhou Yue, "After I went back, did your uncle and the others come again?"

"My uncle didn't come, but my maternal grandmother did."

Zhou Yue felt a little irritated when she recalled the day her grandmother held her and cried her heart out, while she herself stood stiffly, not knowing how to react.

Seeing her like this, Liang Guiying knew that the old lady of the Jiang family had upset Zhou Yue, so she said, "In ancient times, it was often said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. It sounds cruel, but it is indeed the fate of most married women. When it comes to choosing between a son and a daughter, it is always the daughter who is abandoned."

Zhou Yue felt sorry for her mother after hearing this.

My mother has only been gone for a little over ten years, but my uncle doesn't remember the anniversary of her death, and he doesn't even remember her biological mother. She has been completely forgotten, which is more tragic than water that has been spilled.

Zhou Yue coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment and told Liang Guiying, "Director Liang came over yesterday and said she has arranged a new position for me. She told me to come over whenever I have free time. I plan to go back to work tomorrow."

“Then you go ahead, I’ll look after Niannian.” Liang Guiying looked at her and emphasized, “I was just trying to scare you by saying I was going to give Niannian away for adoption.”

Zhou Yue nodded.

Zheng Fangshu often said that Liang Guiying was fierce, and Zhou Yue was once very afraid of her. However, when Liang Guiying came to take care of her during her postpartum period, she was able to eat meat and drink soup every day. After spending time with her, she realized that Liang Guiying was a kind person who was fierce on the outside but kind on the inside.

The affection he showed for Zhou Xiaonian, in particular, was something that couldn't be faked.

After the meal, Liang Guiying took two chickens, five chicks, and some dried vegetables and other mountain produce to thank the Zhong family.

After all, the Zhong family must have done a lot of favors to get a doctor from a major hospital to personally come to Chen Yingzi's home for a consultation.

The Zhong family had just finished eating when they saw her bringing over chicken and fish, and they were quite helpless.

Aunt Zhong slapped her: "I told you we're family, family members help family members, why are you being so polite?"

"It's not that I'm being polite, it's just that Fenglian asked me to thank you, and I'm just doing my duty." Liang Guiying smiled. "How have you been sleeping these past few days?"

"I didn't have to get up at night. I slept soundly until dawn last night." Aunt Zhong was very happy.

"Then these imported goods are reasonably expensive. It's a pity we don't have any at home, otherwise I would have brought them all for you."

“My daughter-in-law’s colleague has relatives in Gangcheng. She has already asked her colleague to send a telegram to her relatives, saying that the goods can be brought back by the day after tomorrow at the latest… Oh right, Lao Zhong, is it time for you to buy that tricycle?”

Uncle Zhong finally got a chance to speak: "The other party called this afternoon and said that if we are sure we want it, it can be delivered tomorrow. Grandma Niannian, the tricycle is in high demand and costs five hundred yuan. Do you still want it?"

"want!"

"Then I'll call and ask him to deliver it tomorrow morning."

After returning from the Zhong family's house, Liang Guiying quickly planted the vegetable seedlings she had brought from home before it got dark.

Two vegetable beds have been planted in total; the rest will have to wait until tomorrow to buy more seeds.

The next morning, Zhou Yue went to the cotton mill. Liang Guiying looked at the work clothes she was wearing that had the words "Jiangcheng Cotton Mill" printed on them and sighed heavily in her heart.

Zhou Yue shouldn't have wasted her time in the cotton mill; she should have soared in the sky like her parents.
