Ye Zhaozhao knew from Chu Xiangxiu's expression that the marriage was off, and Xue Qi didn't expect her to not want the child.
"Comrade, if you need to have an abortion, you have to go to the county hospital."
Xue Qi instinctively refused, and Ye Zhaozhao thought the same way. She was pregnant and couldn't possibly perform an abortion for someone else.
I want to talk to you alone.
Chu Xiangxiu suggested talking to Ye Zhaozhao, but Xue Qi, seeing that they knew each other, went out first. Chu Xiangxiu touched her belly; she was also reluctant to part with this child.
Where is the child's father?
"They ran away, I was scammed."
Chu Xiangxiu originally intended to find a partner and not go back home; she and Chu Xiong were half-siblings.
Her current mother is a stepmother, and she finally managed to get out through this opportunity.
She didn't want to go back. Her stepmother, Chu Xiangxiu, treated her very badly; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so greedy for meat and fought with a child for it.
She met the man at the supply and marketing cooperative. The man said that his father was the director of the cooperative and that he had two older sisters who worked in a textile factory.
Upon hearing these conditions, Chu Xiangxiu was naturally tempted, and then she had relations with the man.
She later learned that the man was just an ordinary temporary worker.
Most importantly, it was a scheme between him and his mother that led to her getting pregnant.
Her mother said that if she got pregnant, her family wouldn't have to give a bride price.
Chu Xiangxiu was fooled because she could save on the bride price and get a wife for free. Ye Zhaozhao didn't pity her after hearing her story.
If she hadn't been so greedy at the beginning, wanting to find a capable partner, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
I just told her to think carefully about the miscarriage.
When Ye Zhaozhao got off work, the soldier at the door ran over to her and said something.
"Sister-in-law, there's an old lady who says she's your maternal grandmother. She asked me to tell you this."
Ye Zhaozhao wondered why her grandmother, who wasn't in the village, would come.
Because Ye Zhongmin disliked that her maternal grandmother's family was from the countryside, her grandmother would secretly bring her some things and then leave.
At that time, her grandmother knew that Ye Zhongmin treated her badly and wanted to take her back to raise her.
Ye Zhongmin absolutely refused to agree, even if the old lady took Ye Zhaozhao away.
What will others say about him? If she leaves, there will be no one to do the housework. Ye Zhaozhao didn't know how she got to the entrance of the family compound.
From afar, she saw an elderly woman with gray hair, who also recognized Ye Zhaozhao.
She and her daughter are like two peas in a pod.
"Grandma, why are you here? Why didn't you contact me beforehand so I could pick you up?"
"Zhaozhao, Grandma came looking for you. The aunties in the compound said you got married. I'm going to the police station to find you."
"It just so happens that your husband has a comrade-in-arms at the Public Security Bureau, so they gave me the address."
The old lady looked at Ye Zhaozhao in front of her and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
If her own daughter were still alive, this child wouldn't have to suffer so much; she would have married so early.
Knowing that Ye Zhaozhao had gotten married, the old lady was afraid that she would be mistreated, so she immediately asked her son to buy her a train ticket and come over.
"Grandma, let's go home first."
Although the old lady came in a hurry this time, she still brought quite a lot of things.
The old lady carried a nylon bag with the pheasants and rabbits, saying that her youngest son had hunted them in the mountains.
She also said that her three uncles knew she was coming and asked her to write back after finding Ye Zhaozhao.
Ye Zhaozhao knew that her three uncles missed her very much, as they had always doted on her since she was a child.
The old lady was visiting the family compound for the first time. Seeing a row of brick houses, she couldn't help but think that her daughter Zhaozhao had married quite well. As she entered, she saw Gu's mother.
The old lady knew who she was at a glance.
"Are you my in-laws' mother?"
Ye Zhaozhao introduced her to Gu's mother as her maternal grandmother, and Gu's mother immediately became respectful.
She let the children play by themselves and went to the kitchen to cook noodles for the old lady.
Looking at Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, and then at Ye Zhao Zhao's belly, the old lady was surprised to find that Zhao Zhao had already given birth to two children.
"Zhaozhao, tell Grandma, is your man good to you?"
Judging from her grandmother's demeanor, it seemed that if she said Gu Yunduan was treating her badly, she would take her home.
"Grandma, he's a good person, he's good to me and the children."
Otherwise, Ye Zhaozhao would never have had his child. When Gu Yunduan was mentioned, Ye Zhaozhao found that she missed him a little.
Gu Yunduan, far away in the provincial capital, sneezed several times in a row, knowing that his wife must be missing him. He wanted to try to shorten his study time.
I'll go back early and give my wife a surprise.
Gu's mother quickly brought out a bowl of noodles, topped with an egg and cured meat. The old lady looked at Gu's mother.
"Just make me something simple, this is too much of a waste to have meat and eggs."
“It’s not a waste to give you this to eat, so please eat it, Grandma.”
Gu's mother knew that she definitely wouldn't be willing to buy food on the train, and how could she not be hungry after such a long journey?
So she cooked extra noodles and poached two eggs.
The old lady was indeed hungry, slurping up the noodles with gusto. Seeing how well Gu's mother treated her, the old lady felt relieved. If she was so good to her, then she must be even better to Zhao Zhao.
After the old lady finished eating her noodles, Gu's mother boiled water and took her to take a bath. Knowing that she was dirty from rushing all the way here, the old lady didn't touch Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
After taking a bath, she held Tuantuan and Yuanyuan in her arms. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were not shy at all, and the two of them played games with their grandmother while holding her. The old lady then gave instructions to Ye Zhaozhao.
Tell her to remember to send a telegram home tomorrow, and Ye Zhaozhao nodded.
She felt that sending a telegram was too slow and that a phone call would be faster.
The next morning, Ye Zhaozhao went to the communications room and made a phone call to her maternal grandmother's hometown. Her uncle, who was also the village chief, answered the phone.
