Sun Xiuhua was the only one who knew about this, so she told everyone.
Wang Li had been pregnant with a child a few years ago, and her mother-in-law came to take care of her during her postpartum period.
After her postpartum period, her mother-in-law took the baby out one day, and when she came back, she said the baby was lost.
"Guess what?"
"Is the child really lost?"
Sun Xiuhua continued, saying that the child was not lost, but was taken back by the old lady to be raised by her second son's family.
The reason is that the second son's family had four daughters in a row but no sons.
The old lady would then tell Wang Li that the child was lost, and that she would tell her when she got home later.
Wang Li recognized her son; he had a black mole on his shoulder.
At the time, she had a huge fight with her family. Wang Li wanted to take the child away, but the child didn't recognize her. Seeing the child calling someone else's mother was more painful for Wang Li than being cut by a knife.
In the end, the child did not come back with her. Because of this incident, the man severed ties with his own mother, and the two never returned to their hometown.
After hearing Sun Xiuhua's words, everyone fell silent. This old woman was truly wicked; how could she give her child away to be raised by someone else?
Along the way, everyone was thinking about this and didn't talk much. But when they arrived at the market, everyone became lively again. Ye Zhaozhao noticed that there were many people at the market.
They tied a rope around their wrists and had Tuantuan and Yuanyuan pull on it. The others followed Ye Zhaozhao's example and had the children pull on the rope as well.
The market was bustling. Xiao Bao couldn't resist the sight of candy and cried, begging Liu Erfeng to buy him some. So Liu Erfeng bought him half a jin (250 grams).
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were interested in firecrackers and pulled Ye Zhaozhao's hand to buy them some. Ye Zhaozhao bought firecrackers and then saw that there were dried fish for sale.
I bought three at once. We must eat fish during the Chinese New Year because fish has a good meaning.
It symbolizes abundance year after year, and you can see new fabrics for sale at the market.
Ye Zhaozhao also bought some things. She hasn't even started making New Year's clothes for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan yet. Ye Zhaozhao's main approach is to buy whatever she sees.
Halfway through the shopping trip, I saw Spring Festival couplets, peanuts and melon seeds, candies, New Year pictures, calendars, roasted chicken, duck, rice cakes, glutinous rice, and red-shelled eggs.
There wasn't enough room for the bicycle, so Ye Zhaozhao bought shoes made by the villagers for the two children. These shoes are very comfortable and durable.
A pair of shoes can last a long time. Seeing that there was beef for sale, Ye Zhaozhao was craving hot pot again.
The beef vendor, seeing that she was a military wife, gave her a little extra.
Ye Zhaozhao didn't take advantage of him; she paid him the exact amount of meat he asked for. This made the butcher have a better impression of these military wives, and he strolled from one end of the market to the other.
Ye Zhaozhao and the others bought everything they needed, and then they prepared to go back.
When Wang Li saw how much stuff Ye Zhaozhao had bought, she couldn't resist buying more.
"Comrade Ye, you're really overdoing it, buying so much stuff?"
"I can spend my money however I want."
Ye Zhaozhao looked at Wang Li and thought to herself that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Someone like Wang Li, her mouth will get her into trouble sooner or later.
“Zhao Zhao has jobs at schools, farms, and hospitals, so she can afford to buy as much stuff as she wants.”
Liu Erfeng spoke up for Ye Zhaozhao, which made Wang Li feel resentful. Why did she not have a single job, while Ye Zhaozhao had three?
Sun Xiuhua gave Liu Erfeng a look, signaling her not to make a fuss, and Liu Erfeng realized she had said the wrong thing.
"Zhaozhao, I didn't mean to."
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."
Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao really didn't care, Liu Erfeng hated Wang Li even more.
That evening, after the children had gone to sleep, Ye Zhaozhao began making clothes for the New Year. Gu Yunduan told her to do it tomorrow and to focus on more important matters tonight.
...
Wang Li has been much quieter these past few days. Everyone is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year, and those who are going home to visit relatives are packing their things.
Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan decided not to go back this year.
However, after only a few days of peace, Wang Li caused another laughing stock in the family compound.
The reason was that she heard from Chef Xue in the cafeteria that pork offal was especially delicious.
She went and bought a lot of pig offal, which really smelled awful.
Wang Li finally managed to clean and cook the food, but when she was about to eat it, she suddenly felt nauseous.
The man ate with a satisfied look on his face, and seeing her like this, he asked excitedly.
"You're not pregnant, are you?"
Wang Li hadn't thought of this before the man mentioned it, but now that she heard him say it, she felt it was quite possible, ever since she heard her mother say it.
The man was like he was discovering a new continent, and every night he would drag her to do things. The more Wang Li thought about it, the more she felt that she was pregnant.
She didn't even bother to eat meat, and dragged the man to the hospital for a checkup. As a result, after the checkup...
She wasn't pregnant at all; she was simply disgusted by the pig offal.
Upon hearing this, the man's face darkened instantly. Not only was she not pregnant, but he had also made a fool of himself in the family compound, and Wang Li felt ashamed.
On the other side, the old lady finally got back, and Jiang Tong encountered her period again. Today, He De finally managed to get rid of her period.
He was determined to have a fierce battle with Jiang Tong tonight, at the crucial moment.
There was a knock on the door, and He De couldn't help but curse, wondering who was the fool who was doing this.
Jiang Tong couldn't help but laugh when he saw him knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night. She pushed him to get up and go downstairs to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Gu Yunduan standing outside.
Now, He De's resentment vanished. After all, this was his boss, so he asked.
"Commander Gu, what's the matter so late?"
“Zhou Dawu is injured and needs a blood transfusion. I remember you have the same blood type as him.”
Zhou Dawu was injured during the exercise. He and Gu Yunduan were leading the exercise during the day when a soldier mistakenly took the wrong gun and picked up a real one.
