Fu Wenjing looked at Su Ruanruan helplessly and dotingly, "Now that you've said that, can I still say no?"
“My husband is the best!”
Su Ruanruan said with a smile, and did not let go of the hand that was holding Fu Wenjing's clothes.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Ruanruan spoke without much hesitation.
"Honey, guess what I bought."
Fu Wenjing cooperated very well and looked over curiously, "What?"
"I bought a lot of wool yarn. Although it is defective, it is just unevenly dyed. The quality is still very good and it is best for knitting sweaters.
Do you think I should knit the sweater and send it back to my parents, or should I send the wool back to my mother so that she can knit it herself?"
Fu Wenjing thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It seems that mom...can't knit sweaters."
This is understandable.
In the 1960s and 1970s, supplies were still extremely scarce.
Wool is rare and hard to buy.
Wang Maoni lived in a production team and had few opportunities to see wool, let alone learn how to knit sweaters.
Su Ruanruan smiled and nodded, "In that case, I'll just knit it and send it back to my parents. I know their sizes."
Although we haven't seen each other for several months, life in the production team was hard. Even if we hadn't seen each other for several years, there would be no change in my body shape.
Fu Wenjing did not agree immediately, but said, "Will that be hard for you? Dad and Mom actually have clothes to wear."
Over the years, Fu Wenjing has sent a lot of money and cloth coupons back home.
Wang Maoni is not someone who would treat herself and Fu Chunshan badly.
Other families in the production team might lack clothes to wear, but Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan really had no shortage of clothes.
"My parents are theirs. I knit sweaters for them. That's my filial piety. Are you going to stop me from being filial to them?"
Fu Wenjing shook his head repeatedly, "Then I definitely wouldn't dare! Then weave slowly and don't get tired."
"I'm sure you won't get tired, don't worry. There's nothing tiring about knitting a sweater."
It is very relaxing to sit on the kang at home and knit a sweater without having to go out in the wind and sun or go up mountains or down rivers.
"It's good that you know what's going on." Fu Wenjing said, raising the bamboo basket in his hand, "What's in this?"
Before she opened her mouth to speak, Su Ruanruan started laughing.
Just as he was about to answer, they had already reached the gate of the compound.
Su Ruanruan swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and blinked at Fu Wenjing, "I'll tell you when I get back."
"good!"
It was lunch time, and every family was eating at home, so there were almost no people on the streets.
As you walk along, you can smell the aroma of various dishes.
Originally, Su Ruanruan was not very hungry, but when she smelled the fragrance lingering around her nose, her stomach started to growl.
The sound was not very loud, but the surroundings were quiet and Fu Wenjing had sharp ears so he could hear it clearly.
"I'll take you home later and go to the cafeteria to buy some food. Don't cook today." Fu Wenjing said.
"No need to buy!" Su Ruanruan shook her head. "We can make dumpling soup and have dinner soon. There's no need to buy it."
Fu Wenjing is no longer a newbie who can't cook. Not only can he cook, he is also very good at it.
He can easily make a meal like dumpling soup which requires little technical skills.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
As they were talking, they turned the last corner and walked for another minute or two before they reached their home.
Just as the two were passing by the gate of Li's courtyard, a person suddenly came out from inside the gate.
Su Ruanruan was startled by the sudden appearance of the person and stopped instantly.
In a flash, Fu Wenjing also stood in front of Su Ruanruan.
Only at this time did Su Ruanruan see clearly the person lying on the ground.
She is Li’s daughter-in-law, Huang Meijuan.
Huang Meijuan is only in her early thirties, but her face looks particularly haggard, as if she is in her forties.
Su Runruan has been in the compound for several months, and this is the second time she has seen Huang Meijuan.
Su Ruanruan always felt that she was already a homebody and would never go out unless it was necessary.
But compared with Huang Meijuan, she is still a dwarf.
Huang Meijuan has never left the house.
The last time Su Ruanruan saw her was when she passed by her house. She glanced into the yard inadvertently and saw her sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
The weather was still hot at that time and the sun was scorching.
Normal people would hide from the scorching sun, but Huang Meijuan just sat there quietly basking in the sun.
Not only was there not a drop of sweat on his face, but his complexion was also sallow and pale, and he looked lifeless.
Huang Meijuan, who was lying on the ground at this moment, looked thinner and had an uglier complexion than the last time they met.
The weather was already very cold, but she was wearing very thin clothes.
It is also because of this that from Su Ruanruan's perspective, she can clearly see her bulging belly.
The belly is bigger than Su Ruanruan's, and it looks like it is at least five or six months old.
It's already this month, we should be extra careful, how could it suddenly appear?
Su Ruanruan was just looking at her with a frown when she heard Aunt Li's voice.
"You bastard! Don't you want to run away? If you have the guts, then run away! What are you doing lying at the gate? You eat my food, drink my drinks, live in my house, but you don't earn a penny and don't work. You just eat and sleep all day long. You can't even give birth to a son. What's the use of you?
I'm telling you, get rid of that little girl in your belly as soon as possible. Our Li family has been a single-line family for eight generations, so we can't have a little girl, let alone raise a money-losing one!"
Huang Meijuan propped up her upper body with all her strength, and looked hesitantly at Aunt Li who was walking to the gate of the courtyard, "Mom, the baby is moving in my belly, I beg you, please let me keep her!
Even if she is really a girl, I will support her! I won’t eat the food at home! "
Aunt Li's eyebrows stood up and her voice became sharper.
"You support her? How can you support her? You are the only one who relies on my son for support! You don't have to tell me so much. This little girl can't stay no matter what. She can't block the way of my darling grandson."
Just by listening to the conversation between the two, Su Ruanruan already understood the whole process.
After the Li family married Huang Meijuan, they did not allow her to work or go out, and just let her get pregnant at home.
But the Li family has no children now.
It is obvious that Huang Meijuan never gave birth to the child every time she became pregnant.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Meijuan looks older than her peers.
This is simply inhumane!
Before traveling through time, Su Runrun had seen news reports about mothers-in-law who wanted grandchildren and forced their daughters-in-law to have children, but she had never heard of anyone forcing their daughters-in-law to have abortions.
It's totally inhumane.
Huang Meijuan held her belly and moved back, shaking her head, "No, Mom, I want this baby!"
