Chapter 325 Eating Chestnuts
Instead of this, it would be better for dad to make more money in the city.
But she couldn't make the final decision on this matter alone. After all, she was a married woman, and she had an older brother, a younger brother, and a sister-in-law at home.
Never mind. Let’s leave it like this for now.
Let’s wait until dad figures it out one day.
Huang Zhiye and Liu Zhaodi were on the phone, and Liu Zhaodi was the one who did most of the talking, while Huang Zhiye was the one who listened. In the middle of the conversation, Huang Zhiye mentioned the matter of the processing plant, and then Liu Zhaodi started to lecture him at the top of her voice, telling him not to mess around at home.
Huang Zhiye made assurances again and again, not daring to hesitate for even a moment.
Only after Zhang Wenbi finished work and went home did Liu Zhaodi hang up the phone with a lingering feeling.
"My dear, come and eat some chestnuts. These chestnuts are delicious whether they are fried or steamed, fragrant and sweet. Come and try them."
"Where did these chestnuts come from? I'd better taste them carefully."
Zhang Wenbi sat down to eat chestnuts and looked at the hung up call. She couldn't help but sigh, "Your husband is the best. He agrees with whatever you say. Unlike my husband... I don't know what he is doing all day long."
Lu Tianlei is actually busier.
Now that he works in the countryside, he always comes home in the middle of the night and goes out to do other work from time to time.
A typical case of little money but a lot of work.
But who makes him enjoy this so much?
"My in-laws have serious business, unlike my husband, who is busy doing nothing all day long. He hasn't made any money, and hasn't even taken care of the crops in the fields..."
Liu Zhaodi sat down and complained while eating chestnuts.
Huang Xinran quietly disappeared into her room.
Even though Zhang Wenbi and Liu Zhaodi are both mothers and live in her house, in reality, both Zhang Wenbi and Liu Zhaodi avoid each other intentionally or unintentionally. There are not many opportunities for them to sit together and eat happily like today.
This is probably the reason why they haven't had any major conflicts so far.
Of course, there were actually frictions between the two. Previously, because of Lu Yunqian's matter, Liu Zhaodi had some complaints about Zhang Wenbi and her daughter, and even complained several times in front of Huang Xinran.
Once, Huang Xinran was caught by Zhang Wenbi, which made her feel very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhang Wenbi was only stunned for a moment, then turned around and left quietly.
This also made Huang Xinran secretly sweat, fearing that the two elders would have friction because of this matter, and they would be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenbi is a person with temper.
The next day, while Liu Zhaodi was at work, she found Huang Xinran and took the initiative to talk about Lu Yunqian. She wanted Lu Yunqian to rent a house nearby and she would help her pay the rent. She came to ask Huang Xinran what he thought.
Huang Xinran didn't understand it for a while. When she came to her senses, the other party asked her about her help paying the rent. She then made it clear that Zhang Wenbi would handle the matter on his own.
As a daughter-in-law, she is unwilling to interfere in such matters.
She had no objection to Zhang Wenbi's support for his concubine. She paid Zhang Wenbi the salary she was entitled to every month and even gave her some extra small rewards.
It was probably after that incident that Zhang Wenbi understood Huang Xinran's thoughts.
He rented a house for Lu Yunqian not far away and took time to visit her every day - it was all a debt to his children. No matter how firm and tough he said it, when his daughter really got into trouble, he still couldn't help but help her daughter.
It's not that she is willing to help. In fact, Lu Yunqian is currently pregnant with her second child and living in an unfamiliar place. If she doesn't help, who can?
Look, she has been staying at Lu Yunqian's place for several days in a row.
The reason I came back these two days is simply because the three cowboys came here again under the stars.
Seeing Zhang Wenbi's worried look, Huang Xinran could guess that something might have happened in the past two days. Counting the days, the baby in Lu Yunqian's belly is about to be born?
In fact, Lu Yunqian already has a son, so there is not much pressure whether the second child is a boy or a girl.
I really don’t understand, why have a second child when the situation is like this?
Shaking his head, Huang Xinran shook off his chaotic thoughts and concentrated on his own business.
When the air was filled with the fragrance of coffee outside and it was almost time for dinner, the phone rang again.
The shrill ring startled everyone.
Even Huang Xinran was curious. Her father had called before, and Lu Tianlei had also called to say hello. Why was there another call at this time? Was he not looking for her?
As soon as she stood up, she heard the phone being picked up. It was Yaya's voice: "Hello! It's Yaya, who are you?... Grandma, it's your aunt looking for you! She told you to hurry up!~"
Yaya shouted at the top of her voice.
When Huang Xinran heard that it was San Niu Niu calling, he sat back down and continued with his work. He called, needless to say, it must be that Lu Yunqian had made some trouble again...
"Hello, this is Zhang Wenbi. San Niu Niu, why are you calling me so late?"
"What???! Xixi fell down!!~"
"How is she? Is the baby in her belly okay...ah, ah-ah, oh, okay, okay, I'll be right over! Stay calm, tell Xixi to stay calm. I'll be right over...Ranran!~~"
Zhang Wenbi shouted at the top of his lungs, threw down the phone and rushed over to knock on Huang Xinran's door.
In fact, Huang Xinran had already packed up and stood up when she heard Zhang Wenbi's voice change when she answered the phone. After knocking on the door, she opened it and said, "Mom..."
"Ran Ran, Xixi fell in the toilet and is crying loudly now... Can you, can you drive..."
"Mom, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave."
No matter how cold-blooded Huang Xinran was, when human lives were at stake, he still took out his car keys, grabbed his coat and went outside.
Liu Zhaodi heard the commotion and ran out: "What happened? Did Lu Yunqian fall? Oh my, is the baby in her belly okay? Are you guys going out now? The food will be ready soon, why don't you eat first?"
"No, Mom. We'll eat when we get back."
Huang Xinran didn't stay, changed his shoes, got up and went out, heading straight to the parking lot.
Zhang Wenbi ran out with the things she had packed, opened the car door and got in: "Ranran, you've worked so hard. Xixi is at home, and I'm worried about her."
"Mom, don't worry too much. The baby in her belly is almost full-term, and it's time for her to be born. I don't think there will be any problems. Even if she fell, both mother and child will be safe."
Huang Xinran comforted her while starting the car and driving out.
Zhang Wenbi responded with an expression of anxiety that he could not hide: "I hope so! This child is really in such a predicament... My eyelids have been twitching this morning, and I feel uneasy inside. I have been comforting myself that nothing has happened, but I never thought that such a disaster would be waiting for me... Really!"
