Chapter 302 A Difficult Balance
Lu Qiniang had no idea that Zhang Heyao was gossiping behind her back again.
She also didn't expect that Dr. Hu and his family of three would come to her house late at night.
When Lin saw Lu Qiniang, she knelt down in front of her.
Lu Qiniang was startled and quickly pulled her up, "Sister Lin, what are you doing?"
In just half a month, Lin lost a lot of weight and even had white hair on his temples.
"Abandoned Mother," Lin cried, "I kowtow to you and apologize on behalf of that evil creature. I am too embarrassed to go out, so I came here at night to apologize to you."
"Sister Lin, this is not your fault." Lu Qiniang couldn't help crying when she saw her like this.
"I made a thousand mistakes, all because I didn't teach her well. Now God has taken her away, maybe this is her fate." Lin cried, "But I should atone for her sins, and I must atone for her sins. She has let you down for all the kindness you've shown her over the years, and I can't face you anymore."
Next door, Erya couldn't help but have red eyes as she listened.
She hated Dujuan, but she couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't met Xin Ji'an, if she hadn't been bewitched by Xin Ji'an, Dujuan wouldn't have done that kind of thing.
It’s not fair that Xin Jian hasn’t received the punishment he deserves yet.
"Sister, can Aunt Lin and Uncle Hu still live together in the future?" Erya felt sad when she heard Lin's crying, and couldn't help asking Daya.
Erya sympathizes with Lin.
Although she felt that Lin had not done well in some aspects during Dujuan's growth, as a mother loves her daughter, she could not find any major faults.
It's the cuckoo's fault for not living up to expectations and not knowing what's good for him.
In the end, Dujuan died, putting an end to everything, but left Lin with a lifelong longing for her.
"Yes, it can be healed." Daya lowered her head to read, "It's all in the past. If they have one or two more children in the future, they will forget it even faster."
She still holds the same view.
The cuckoo is alive, but not well.
Now that Dujuan is dead, everyone is happy.
Erya thought of Dujuan, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, began to feel uncomfortable again.
"Sister Lin, let's not talk about this matter anymore. What's done is done. Let's look forward to the future." Lu Qiniang comforted Lin, "From now on, you have to take care of Old Hu and Hu Rui."
Lin cried a lot.
Doctor Hu didn't say anything.
He was also very thin.
After they left, Lu Qiniang lay on the kang and said to Xiao Yan, "Old Hu raised his daughter for so many years. Although they are not blood relatives, he felt heartbroken when he heard that Du Juan had died. He will be in pain for a while."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan said, "It will take some time, it will be fine later."
Lu Qiniang was silent for a moment, then spoke with some difficulty, "Although I don't really want to bring it up, I've been thinking about it for two days, and there are some things I still have to explain to you."
"Abandoned mother," Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, "Can you please stop talking?"
He already knew what she was going to say.
Du Juan is dead, and even the influence on Doctor Hu will fade away with the passage of time.
But it has a profound impact on one's future happiness.
——Lu Qinniang retreated.
This time it was not because of the disparity in status, but because of the hidden worries of a reconstituted family.
"Xiao Yan, let's just forget about it." Lu Qiniang finally said, "I don't want to be someone's stepmother, and you don't want to be someone's stepfather. There will be too many conflicts in the future."
"Abandoned mother, San Ya is nine years old this year." Xiao Yan suddenly said.
"After this New Year, you will be nine years old. What's wrong?" Lu Qin's mother was puzzled.
"It will only take six years for her to get married when she turns fifteen. I can afford to wait." Xiao Yan said, "When all three of them are married, it will be just you and me. If we have another child, no one will be jealous."
Lu Qiniang: "In another six years, we will be so old!"
"I'm fine. I should be able to get you pregnant."
"Xiao Yan, stop it. In six years, Da Ya and Er Ya will have children everywhere, and I'll be a grandmother. If I have another child, it will be so embarrassing."
"Many are like this, and no one will laugh at us." Xiao Yan said, "Abandoned Mother, I understand your concerns. But is it possible that we can just be together and not have children for the time being?"
"What do you mean by not wanting a child?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Then, is it really up to you whether you want the child or not? Don't we all sleep on the same kang? God gives it to you if he says so? Unless, unless it's like the two of us now, sleeping in our own beds? Do you want to live like this forever?"
Without waiting for Xiao Yan to speak, she waved her hands repeatedly, "No. Xiao Yan, you are young, and there is no need to make yourself suffer if you want a woman. I'm fine, I have never thought about men."
Xiao Yan: "..."
Is this the strength of having no desires?
"No, Qi Niang, there are some methods that can prevent pregnancy." Xiao Yan said, "For example, I read in a book..."
Lu Qiniang's face flushed instantly. "What kind of indecent book are you reading that actually talks about these things?"
"The book isn't serious, but I'm quite serious." Xiao Yan said seriously, "I just noticed you were going to back out, so I went to study it a little bit."
Lu Qiniang: "You can even write this?"
"Qi Niang, we are not going to have children for the time being, but do you still have concerns about being together?" Xiao Yan asked again.
Lu Qi Niang: “…”
It seems, no.
Apart from worrying about delaying Xiao Yan, she herself had nothing to worry about.
Xiao Yan said that there was no need to worry about him, as he firmly believed that he could still have children at the age of 80.
Lu Qiniang finally said, "Please let me think about it again."
I always feel like something is wrong.
"good."
Xiao Yan readily agreed that as long as this matter remained on the agenda, it could continue to move forward.
What he feared most was that as time went on, it would completely disappear.
"Oh, it's going to be busy." Lu Qiniang said, "The canal is open, our shop is open, and Erya's shop is thriving. There's a lot to be busy about."
In comparison, what happened between the two of them was not that important.
Xiao Yan was thinking about something else.
He really should take action.
On this day, Lu Qiniang was making dry food in the shop. Although it was a season of warm and cold weather, she was sweating profusely.
Then, Sun Shun came.
"Shunzi, why are you here?" Lu Qiniang raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Have you eaten yet? Come, try some freshly-cooked pancakes. They're layered with oil and salt. They're so fragrant right out of the pan."
Although Sun Shun refused, she still broke off a piece and stuffed it into Sun Shun's hand.
Sun Shun could only take one bite.
"Is it delicious? Give you a green onion?"
"No, no, Qi Niang, I'm looking for you because Master Zhang is here at the Chaoguan Pass and wants to see you."
"Why did he meet me?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Is he here to discuss the Qingming Festival commemoration for my parents?"
Apart from this, she could not think of any other common topic.
"No." Sun Shun followed Zhang Heyao's instructions and said, "I'm telling you about Du Juan. There's something else going on."
"What's the weather like? He can control whether it's sunny or cloudy, or rainy or windy? He's really nosy." Lu Qiniang didn't want to see Zhang Heyao.
"Go and listen, Lord Zhang will never harm you." Sun Shun said with some pleading.
