Mingmei launched the operation on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The whole family stayed in the hospital, even the entire Ming family came.
A large group of people from both families blocked the corridor, attracting some people who had not yet been discharged from the hospital to look around. It was really too big a scene.
Of course, the main reason was that Ming Xiangdong didn't look like a good guy. He was tall, strong, and fierce. The scar on his face showed that he was not a good man. That was not enough. He yelled and cursed at his son-in-law Zhuang Zhixi, and his roar was so loud that it shook the sky. He scolded him to the ground.
"Look, it's all because of you, you bastard. Otherwise, how could my daughter have suffered so much? Do you think giving birth is easy? You bastard, can't you wait two years before having a child? My daughter is still young, look at the suffering my daughter has endured! You bastard..."
He had been cursing for an hour without taking a breath, but Zhao Guihua remained calm. In her previous life, she would have been unhappy about this matter, but it didn't matter in this life. As expected, after seeing this, she didn't think it was a big deal.
However, the other members of the banker's family huddled in the corner like little chicks.
Zhuang Zhixi faced the storm alone, smiling and accepting the scolding! "You bastard..."
The door opened a little, and the little nurse poked her head out and said, "Stop making noise."
Although the sound was very small, Ming Xiangdong finally became as quiet as a chicken.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at the factory worriedly. After a long wait...finally, the news came that Mingmei was born.
"Congratulations, you two are twins."
Zhao Guihua quickly took one of the cubs, and the other was in Lan Ling's hands. Lan Ling asked anxiously, "How is my daughter?"
"The mother is in good condition and has fallen asleep."
"That's good, that's good."
At this time Mingmei had been pushed out. Her hair was stuck to her head, her face was pale, and her lips were dry and flaky. Zhuang Zhixi hurried to his wife and gently touched her head. Mingmei was sleeping very soundly and did not react at all.
Zhuang Zhixi held her hand. Mingmei was still sleeping soundly, which showed that she was very tired.
"Please make way. The woman in labor needs to be pushed back to the ward."
"Oh, OK." Zhuang Zhixi didn't let go. He looked down at his. It was the first time he saw her so weak. Although it was a short time since they met and got married, Mingmei had always been very energetic in the past year. He had never seen her so weak. He stroked her hair with heartache, not caring whether she could hear him or not, and said, "Wife, thank you for your hard work."
The ward was not far away. Mingmei was placed on the bed. The weather was very cold. Zhuang Zhixi was worried and pulled the quilt high. He frowned and said, "I wonder if she will be cold."
Lan Ling: "This temperature should be OK."
The hospital always takes into account the needs of patients. Zhuang Zhixi said: "Brother, go to the nurses' station and rent a kettle, and then help me get some hot water."
"good."
Seeing Mingmei's brows knitted together as she slept, as if she was having a tormenting dream, he reached out and stroked her brows, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He was trying to comfort his wife who was sleeping. At this moment, the child started to whimper weakly, and seemed to be about to cry. Zhao Guihua quickly shook the child in her arms and said, "Don't cry, dear."
She shook it gently, and Zhuang Zhixi came over to look at the child. He lowered his head and asked, "Is this a boy or a girl?"
Zhao Guihua: "I don't know either."
She took one of the two children. The twins were tiny and looked the same. She examined them and said, "This is the brother."
Zhuang Zhixi looked down at his son. He actually had a son. The child's skin was red and wrinkled, his eyes were closed, and his mouth was pouting. He was very small. He remembered that Hu Tou was bigger than his son when he was born.
Zhuang Zhixi pursed his lips and immediately turned to look at the little sister. The baby looked exactly like her brother, and it was hard to tell which one was the brother and which was the sister. Lan Ling held her daughter's child lovingly and said, "This is the little sister."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded, reached out and gently poked the little girl's face. The baby hummed and nodded her little head.
Zhuang Zhixi: "The child is so young."
The nurse at the side said, "Your children are not small anymore. One weighs 15.8 jin and the other weighs 15.9 jin. The younger one is a little bigger. Generally, twins are smaller than a baby. Our hospital has also delivered twins, and they are considered the bigger ones."
Zhuang Zhixi said "oh", and the young nurse gave some more precautions before pushing the cart away.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at the little brother on the left and the little sister on the right. The two little kids were exactly alike. He said, "Let me hold you for a while."
Zhao Guihua glared at him and said, "How could you possibly hold a child? Get out of the way of the child."
Lan Ling: "Your mother is right."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
But this is my baby, can't I even hold him?
Woo woo, I feel wronged.
No one else saw his grievance. There was only his family in the ward. Who could blame him? It was the first day of the Chinese New Year. Generally, no one would come to the hospital on New Year's Eve or the first day of the Chinese New Year unless they had to give birth.
He said, "We don't need so many people to stay in the hospital. I'll take care of it here. Mom, you stay with me. Dad, you can go back. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can also go back and have a rest. You came here last night. Are you exhausted?"
Lan Ling smiled and said, "This is my own daughter, how could I feel tired?"
She thought for a moment and then said, "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law and my daughter are both first-time parents, so there are always unexpected things. Let's stay here, and we can take turns to take care of the children and the pregnant woman, so that the others can go back and take a rest. What do you think?"
Zhao Guihua agreed: "That's fine."
She said: "It's really too much for one person to handle it here, and we have two children. I heard that some human traffickers would come to the hospital to steal children. We have two children, and it's inevitable that one person can't take care of them. It's good to have more people, so that we can have more energy."
Lan Ling agreed and nodded: "That's right."
There are fewer human traffickers these days, but they do exist. And the ones that the traffickers target are mostly little boys. Especially little babies who are ignorant and don't know anything. So you still have to be very careful.
"You all go back, we are here."
She thought of something else and said, "Daughter-in-law, go home and stew our chicken, and then bring it over in the evening."
Mingcheng's wife nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Guihua was not polite and said, "That's fine. You can deliver the food tonight, but don't do that tomorrow. Come to our house. My eldest daughter-in-law, tomorrow morning you can take the white flour and beat two eggs to make the glutinous rice soup. Also, stew the pig's trotters and soybeans I prepared. It's just right to stew them until they are soft, and we can have them at noon."
Miriam Leung nodded.
She had this when she was pregnant.
She is not jealous of this, and besides, she dare not be jealous.
Her mother-in-law was fierce enough, and her sister-in-law, her biological father, was like a bandit. It was really scary. Leung Mei-fun shrank like a little chicken, and was very quiet.
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, you all go back and have a rest."
The Zhuang family nodded.
Ming Xiangdong didn't want to leave, and said, "I'll stay for a while."
Lan Ling: "Okay, you stay for a while. Mingcheng, you take your wife home. It's worrying to leave the child alone at home." After a pause, she looked at Zhuang Zhixi and said with some apology: "Son-in-law, your father didn't mean to scold you just now. In fact, he likes you very much as a son-in-law and has no opinion on you. You see that he is tall and strong, but he is actually nervous and scared. He is just too worried about Mingmei, so he speaks incoherently. Moreover, when this person is nervous, he roars and scolds people. In fact, it is a way to relieve the pressure in his heart. He doesn't really blame you. Don't blame your father for being so outspoken. When Mingmei is discharged from the hospital, your father-in-law and I will come to your house to apologize to you."
Zhuang Zhixi hurriedly said, "Mom, you are embarrassing me, aren't you? As a son-in-law, what's wrong with me getting scolded? It's what I deserve, and I'm especially grateful to Dad for scolding me. If he scolded me, I wouldn't have focused all my attention on the delivery room. In fact, I was also very scared at the time. After he roared like that, I wasn't so nervous anymore. I should thank my father-in-law. Besides, we are all family, and we shouldn't have different opinions. If I apologize for such a small matter, I would be really embarrassed. My father-in-law is his father, and it's not wrong for a father to scold his son casually. Besides, Dad is nervous and worried, and I understand his feelings too well. I feel the same way."
Zhao Guihua looked at this and that, and sincerely felt that Lan Ling was still as capable as ever. And her son was no less capable. Even though the eldest son was seven or eight years older than the third son, if the situation was really the same, this boy would not say the same thing as the third son.
And the others... were all stunned.
Isn't the third brother too good at talking? Zhuang Zhixi: "Dad, big brother, big brother-in-law, you all should go back. You've been following us for so long. Go home and have a rest. There may be people visiting each other in the afternoon to wish each other a happy new year. You don't have to gather here. I have two mothers here. They are both capable people. There's nothing to worry about."
"That's fine."
Mingcheng is fine, they came here this morning.
Zhuang Zhiyuan and the others came here last night, so they have been here all the time.
To be honest, I really feel tired after not sleeping all night.
They went out together, but Ming Xiangdong did not leave. He said, "I'm not tired. I'll stay with you. I can also run errands if you need to."
Lan Ling: "Okay, then you stay."
Mingmei was still sleeping soundly, and the two little kids were also asleep, wrapped in a small quilt and placed next to their mother. The one on the blue quilt was the little brother, and the one on the colorful quilt was the little sister. Mingmei really didn't get to have chicken soup this time. She didn't wake up until the next morning.
At dawn, Mingmei was awakened by heart-wrenching screams from the corridor. She groaned and raised her hand to rub her eyes, but accidentally touched the baby beside her. At this moment, Zhuang Zhixi's voice came: "Wife, are you awake?"
Mingmei rubbed her eyes and then opened them. She saw that Zhuang Zhixi's hair was messy. She grinned slightly and said, "You..."
Before she could say anything, she suddenly thought of something and immediately touched her belly and said softly, "I gave birth?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "It's born."
He said, "Come and look, this is the little brother, this is the little sister, Mingmei gave birth to twins."
Mingmei looked down at the two children and smiled weakly, but brightly. She said softly, "I know. I fell asleep after I gave birth. I just suddenly forgot about it. Am I stupid?"
"You're not stupid. You're the best. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhuang Zhixi pecked her forehead gently.
She looked at Zhuang Zhixi with bright eyes and pouted, "Giving birth is so hard."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I know, I know everything. I heard you shouting outside."
He was almost scared to death, but he didn't expect that both his mother and mother-in-law, and even the nurse in the hospital, said that Mingmei's birth was relatively smooth and quick. It is really hard to imagine how much suffering it is to give birth to a child.
He held Mingmei's hand and asked, "Does it still hurt now?"
Mingmei shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
After a pause, she said, "But it just feels a little weird."
Originally, carrying two little babies made me feel very heavy, but now I feel light, but I still feel a little bit uncomfortable.
"Once you have a baby, you will feel relieved."
Gurgle.
Mingmei's stomach growled at this time. Zhuang Zhixi asked, "Are you hungry?"
Mingmei nodded and she said, "Is there anything we can eat?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm going to the cafeteria, wait for me."
While they were talking, the two mothers and Ming Xiangdong, who had not left yet, woke up. Seeing that the young couple could only see each other, they did not speak. Now, when she heard that they were hungry, she said, "I didn't drink the chicken soup last night. Can you ask the kitchen to heat it up?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, I'll go over."
He is familiar with the hospital, so this little thing is no big deal.
Zhao Guihua: "I'll go with you, mother-in-law. Please help take care of Mingmei and the child."
"Okay, you go."
The plan didn't change quickly. Mingmei didn't wake up last night, and they didn't drink chicken soup. They just got food in the cafeteria. They were supposed to wait for the soup this morning, but Mingmei got up early again and Liang Meifen hadn't arrived yet.
Fortunately, Zhuang Zhixi could ask the hospital cafeteria to help heat up the chicken soup.
The mother and daughter walked away squatting in the basin. Lan Ling then approached the bed. She touched her daughter's face and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Mingmei's eyes immediately turned red. She was always different in front of her parents. No matter how old she was, she was still a child. Mingmei said aggrievedly, "It was so painful to give birth to a child. I told myself at the time that I would beat them up after I gave birth. I relied on this to encourage myself and I was able to persevere."
Lan Ling chuckled and said, "Well, if they don't behave, spank them."
Mingmei nodded vigorously and said, "I don't want to have children anymore."
Lan Ling: "Okay, then I won't have a baby. My baby has worked so hard."
Mingmei: “I’m very tired.”
She felt even more aggrieved: "It's hard to be pregnant, and it's hard to give birth to a child. When I was pregnant with them, my legs would cramp, and I would always wake up at night because of stomach discomfort. It was so sad..."
Lan Ling: "Don't cry. You should take good care of yourself during this confinement period. If you cry and hurt your body, then mom will be very sad. Look, it's all over now. Let's take good care of yourself now, okay?"
Minmei nodded.
Lan Ling: "Have you seen the baby? He looks just like you when you were a child."
Mingmei: "Huh? Let me see... eh~ it's a bit ugly. I couldn't have been this ugly when I was a kid."
Ming Xiangdong: “…”
Lan Ling: “…”
She said, "That's nonsense. Children are not ugly. They are like this when they are young. As they grow up, they will become more and more beautiful. Now they have just been born and their mouths haven't opened yet. Look at this pink little mouth. How much does it look like you?"
Mingmei: “Is there?”
She looked left and right, but couldn't quite figure it out.
"It just looks a lot like you, especially your eyebrows and eyes."
Mingmei looked at the two little guys. The little brother nudged and leaned towards Mingmei with his little mouth pursed. Lan Ling said, "The child must be hungry. You didn't wake up yesterday, so the child had nothing to eat. I could only feed him a little bit of milk powder."
Lan Ling muttered, "I wanted to find a pregnant woman to help feed the babies, but yesterday was the first day of the Chinese New Year. All those who could be discharged from the hospital were discharged, and no one could help. Fortunately, the hospital usually has this kind of situation, so they prescribed a little milk powder for us, which made the two little guys full."
Mingmei looked down at the two little ones and said, "Oh, these two little guys almost didn't have any food yesterday."
She grinned. Lan Ling looked at her daughter's childish and heartless behavior, smiled helplessly and shook her head, saying, "Old Ming, go out. I'll let Mingmei feed the child."
Ming Xiangdong immediately said: "Okay."
He went out quickly.
I don't know if Mingmei usually takes good care of herself and gets all the necessary nutrition, so the little guy drinks the milk very quickly. Unlike most mothers, when they first start breastfeeding, they have to suffer a lot before their children can eat.
Everything went very smoothly for her.
She fed them one by one. Although they had not eaten, the children were newborns and did not eat much, so she fed them quickly. After the two little ones were full, they opened their big black grape eyes and babbled twice, and soon fell asleep again.
That’s how much sleep children need.
Mingmei acted coquettishly and complained, then fed the child. At this time, Zhao Guihua also came back with a tray, attracting people's attention along the way.
The taste of chicken soup is really overbearing.
Mingmei was still in the room, sniffing and saying, "They're back."
Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Zhixi and the others coming back. Zhuang Zhixi said: "Come, wife, I'll feed you!"
No matter what, let’s talk about it after we finish eating.
Mingmei nodded gently, Lan Ling pulled out a pillow to use as a backrest, and then helped her daughter up. Zhuang Zhixi carefully moved the two children to a different position, and then sat beside the bed to feed his wife.
Mingmei doesn’t eat a lot, so she felt much better after eating a little. She said, “I’ll do it myself.”
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head: "How can you have the strength? I'll do it."
Mingmei: "What's the baby's name?"
They had discussed this matter when they were at home. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, the nicknames would be "Tuan Tuan" and "Yuan Yuan". Because Mingmei's due date was during the Spring Festival, they chose the name to represent reunion.
Anyway, as long as the family is happy, it doesn’t matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
Mingmei asked, that's the big name.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I haven't decided on this yet. Don't worry. We can choose a name together when we get home. Just call it by its nickname now."
Mingmei nodded: "Okay."
She ate for a while and said, "I can't eat any more."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, if you can't eat, don't eat. Wait for sister-in-law to bring you food, and you can have a few more mouthfuls of soup."
Mingmei lay down again, with two sleeping piglets beside her. She said, "Didn't you go home to rest? Actually, you don't have to stay here."
Zhao Guihua: "It's okay. We also took a nap last night."
In the first half of the night, she and her son took a nap, and in the second half, she took turns with her in-laws. In fact, there was no need to be so cautious and careful, but Mingmei didn't wake up, and they were not very reassured. Although the doctor always said that there was nothing wrong, as a family member, they were not so reassured.
Besides, the child was still young, so they took turns keeping watch.
Mingmei laughed softly and said, "You are so nice to me."
She felt that she was very lucky, everyone was very kind to her and didn't let her suffer so much. She had been well taken care of. Giving birth was so hard, it was hard to imagine how miserable it would be if her family didn't care about her.
She said, “When can I be discharged from the hospital?”
Zhuang Zhixi: "You need to stay in the hospital for at least three days after giving birth, maybe the day after tomorrow."
He added: "Actually, tomorrow is fine, but I want to observe for another day. After all, this is your first time giving birth, so you can't be careless."
Mingmei nodded: "I'll listen to you."
She curled up in the bed and said, "I want to sleep a little longer."
"Okay, you go to sleep."
Zhuang Zhixi patted his wife gently. Mingmei was really tired and soon fell asleep again. It was already evening when she woke up again. She was sleeping in a mess. As soon as she woke up, she felt the baby nudging her.
The mother is hungry, and the child is hungry too.
Mingmei: "Where are my parents?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "You slept during the day, so I asked them to go back and rest for a while. They will be back soon. Here, the pig's feet and soybeans are still hot, you can have some. I wanted to make it for you at noon, but I said you wouldn't wake up, and it turned out to be just right to make it in the afternoon and deliver it in the evening."
Mingmei: "Where is my mother-in-law?" she asked everyone one by one.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I went to the toilet."
Mingmei groaned, fed the baby, and let Zhuang Zhixi feed her. But at this moment, she also noticed that there was another woman in labor in the ward. It was not just their family anymore. She thought of the heart-wrenching screams coming from the corridor that morning, and knew that it was probably this person.
This floor is basically occupied by pregnant women, so it can't be anything else.
She took another look at the woman in labor and saw that she looked to be in her twenties, with a pretty face, but she was very haggard and had a sallow complexion. There was no one around to help her. Perhaps it was because Mingmei's attention was focused on that.
Zhuang Zhixi whispered, "She was also born at noon, but yours was yesterday at noon, and hers was today at noon. When her in-laws saw that she gave birth to a daughter, they scolded her. Our father was still there at the time, and he told her to get out and scold if she had anything to say. She disturbing was your rest, so she was not polite."
Mingmei's mouth twitched, but she felt particularly warm in her heart. Her father always loved her unconditionally.
"Then what?"
"Then the old lady with droopy eyes shut up. However, because the baby was a girl, she was discharged from the hospital on the spot. But who knew that the woman was injured during childbirth and had to stay in the hospital. She was also told that she would not be able to have children in the future. When the old lady heard this, she led her family and left on the spot."
Mingmei frowned: "Who is this person?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded, also looking down on such people, but he didn't say anything else, and whispered: "Come, eat some, I've tasted it, although the taste is very light, but it's quite delicious."
Mingmei teased: "You're still cheating."
Zhuang Zhixi: "No?"
"Okay, okay, okay."
The young couple spoke in small voices, and it was unclear whether they had slept well or had eaten enough. Mingmei was in much better spirits. She looked down at the two little guys lying beside her and said, "They slept a lot."
“That’s what kids do.”
As they were talking, Zhao Guihua came in and said, "You two are very in tune with each other. The third brother said that you have to wake up in the evening."
Mingmei held Zhuang Zhixi's hand with her backhand.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course, how can we work without this kind of understanding?"
"This is for you."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "Mom, Mingmei hasn't finished her soybean pork trotters. You can have some."
Zhao Guihua: "What can an old lady like me eat? I'll take it home and cook it, and we can all eat together. I'll make chicken soup for you tomorrow, and stew pig's feet for you the day after tomorrow..."
Mingmei: "Do we have that many pig's feet at home?"
Zhao Guihua: "Originally not. Didn't you give birth yesterday? Your grandfather sent ten pig's feet."
Mingmei: “…”
It seems like grandpa can always buy everything, it's magical.
"Your grandpa also bought you a bucket of milk powder, not for the child, but for you. Your sister-in-law brought it here, and I'll ask the third brother to make you a cup later." Zhao Guihua sighed deeply, this old man is really wild.
Even so, Mr. Lan, who has only moved in less than a year, is so wild. There is really no way to reason with him.
I don't know if it's because they are too ordinary and useless, or if old man Lan is too awesome.
She said: "During this period, the food will taste a little lighter. Just adapt to it and be patient. It will slowly return to normal in a few days."
Mingmei: "Okay."
She actually tasted pretty good.
"Aunt." A weak female voice sounded.
Zhao Guihua turned around and looked at the woman in labor in the bed opposite her. She simply asked, "What's the matter?"
The woman pulled the corner of her mouth weakly and said, "Can you please send me a telegram?"
She said: "I have money, I have money..."
She seemed to have pulled the wound, causing a crackling pain.
Zhao Guihua: "What kind of telegram are you sending?"
"My name is He Lan. I want to send a telegram to my man. He is in the army."
Zhao Guihua hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but those who had lived through that era had basically heard of all kinds of things about "spies" and "spies", and had also heard that such people would occasionally take advantage of ordinary people, so she hesitated.
When sending a telegram to the army, even if the person was a woman who had just given birth, Zhao Guihua didn't dare to believe it completely.
Soon, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. After all, I don't know you and don't know what kind of person you are. We should be vigilant."
He Lan said anxiously: "Auntie, I'm not a bad person, please help me, I..."
Zhao Guihua interrupted her: "Don't worry, there is a police station nearby. I will go and tell them for you. Is that ok?"
He Lan was stunned: "Ah?"
But he quickly nodded happily: "That's fine. But... they are so busy, will they make a trip for such a small matter?"
Zhao Guihua: "Yes, it's right to seek help from the police if you have any problems."
He Lan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, thank you, Auntie."
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei looked at each other and didn't interrupt.
It's a good thing that Zhao Guihua didn't help directly, otherwise it would have been really bad. It's not that this woman is a bad person, but the public security comrades only found out after they came that this woman's background was not good.
In this case, there's nothing wrong with being cautious.
He Lan's parents are small capitalists who run shops.
Now people don't know where they have been sent to.
This woman severed her relationship with her parents and married to a village in Tong County. It was said that the family was very poor, but of good class background. Her husband was a soldier and was away from home all year round.
Because of her poor family background, her husband's family looked down on her and she had to do all the housework. Her sisters-in-law also bullied her.
It really is true that I get up earlier than the chicken, sleep later than the dog, and eat worse than the pig.
This time, if she hadn't been pushed down by her sister-in-law and bleeding profusely, she wouldn't have been sent to the hospital. Because of the fear that the profuse bleeding might cause death, the team leader suggested that she be sent to the hospital.
The money for hospitalization was also the little bit of private money that the woman had hidden before she got married.
The comrades at the police station checked that although her background was not good, she was not a problem, and sent a telegram to the army for her. Although Zhao Guihua did not help directly, she helped indirectly, and He Lan did say a few words to them.
This time she sent the telegram because she hoped her man would come back to help her.
If he didn't help her, she would really be tortured to death in that family.
He Lan also showed Zhao Guihua her arms. No exposed part was left unpunished, but all were bruised and purple. He Lan said with a deathly pale face, "My mother-in-law won't hit me on the surface, she'll only hit me in places that can't be seen. I can do whatever I want, this is how my life will be, but my daughter is still so young, she's still so young, if we go back, I'm afraid my daughter will have no chance of survival..."
Zhao Guihua also sighed and said, "Why are you saying that? If you want to protect your daughter, you have to stand up."
"With my background, how can I stand up..." He Lan lowered her head and shed tears.
From a young lady to a village woman who was beaten all day long, she had suffered so much that she had lost her courage a long time ago.
Zhao Guihua: "Even if your background is not good, you haven't done anything against the law. The weaker you are, the more they think you are easy to bully. No matter how bad your background is, you are still one family with them. What are you afraid of! Besides, are you sure that your man will be able to help you when he comes back?"
Nowadays, there are many people who are foolishly filial.
He Lan was speechless.
Zhao Guihua didn't say anything more, just said: "You have to think more about yourself and your children."
He has twins, so they are supposed to be smaller than normal children. But I didn't expect He Lan's daughter to weigh only a little over 150 grams. As a reborn person, Zhao Guihua was used to seeing chubby babies, so she was terrified when she heard this weight. It can be seen that this person was also in a weak position when she was pregnant.
Mingmei stayed here until the fourth day of the Chinese New Year and was discharged from the hospital normally.
Although He Lan was in a difficult situation, it was obvious that she still had some money. Besides, if you don't stand up for this kind of thing, it's useless no matter how much others say. The two sides had a brief contact, and it was inappropriate to talk about it no matter how much they met.
However, they could not have imagined that not long after, they would meet again, and the way of meeting was completely unexpected.
But that's all in the past.
Zhuang Zhixi borrowed a cart, not the one in the courtyard next to them, because he couldn't bring himself to use that one. He borrowed a cart from someone else and pushed his wife back home. Liang Meifen had already heated up the kang in Mingmei's room, so Zhuang Zhixi carried his wife back to the room.
Mingmei felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed. But Zhuang Zhixi didn't care about that, and settled her down, and then he felt relieved.
Mingmei muttered quietly, "I can walk."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm not worried about you. The confinement period is the most important time for a woman, just take good care of yourself."
He was straightforward: "Since your vacation is more than a month, we can stay for two months."
Liang Meifen's eyelids twitched.
But no one cared about her at this time. Lan Ling and the others came over and put the children down. The two children looked better than the first day after they were born four days ago. Oh, or maybe it was the filter of the family.
Tiger Head and Little Swallow jumped up and down: "Brother and sister, look after your younger brothers and sisters."
The two of them were lying on the edge of the kang, looking at the sleeping child. Tiger Head tilted his head and said, "The little brother and sister look alike."
Mingmei smiled and said, "Yes, because they are twins."
"That's great. My sister and I look different."
Priscilla Leung: "Because you are not twins."
Xiaoyanzi: "Then why don't you give birth to twins, mom? Are you stupid?"
Liang Meifen: “…”
What a naughty child.
She said, "Do you want to be beaten?"
Xiaoyanzi immediately shut up, and muttered softly after a while: "Who wants to find that?"
Liang Meifen: “…”
What a naughty child.
She warned: "When you are on holiday, stay home and don't come over to disturb your aunt and your younger brothers and sisters all day long, okay? Children are young and need to sleep a lot."
"Is it not possible to play with them?"
"They are still young and can't go out to play. Just listen to me."
"Oh well."
Mingmei had just returned, looking exhausted. Zhao Guihua said, "Okay, don't gather in this room. Let Mingmei lie down for a while."
After everyone left, Mingmei sincerely said to Zhuang Zhixi: "After all, your own home is the best."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course. The quietness here is unmatched by any hospital."
The hospital was actually not bad, but they were staying in the obstetrics and gynecology ward. How could the mother not scream when she was in pain? So the couple was discharged from the hospital very quickly. Of course, although it was "very quickly", it was about the same as most people.
Mingmei: "Go wash a towel and wipe my face."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Okay.”
Mingmei was relaxed at home. She was used to sleeping on a warm bed in winter, so she was not used to it in the hospital. This warm feeling was the best. Because Mingmei was back, all the families in the compound came to see her. Men were not allowed to enter the house, after all, Mingmei was in confinement. However, the women came to see her and said that the two children were growing up well. This made Mingmei very confused. Is this considered growing up well?
She also thinks the children are like little monkeys!
However, Mingmei didn't dare to say this, because both her mother-in-law and her mother would be unhappy and glare at her when they heard this.
It's true that when new people come, the old ones are forgotten.
“I…”
“Woo, woo, woo, woo…”
Mingmei was about to speak when she heard crying outside. The crying was not loud, but it was still creepy even though the voice was suppressed. Fortunately, it was daytime, otherwise it would have been scary if it was late at night.
Mingmei: "What's going on outside?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll go out and take a look."
When he went out, he was stunned. He really didn't expect that the person crying in the yard was Su Zhaodi.
Su Zhaodi, the eldest aunt of the three children of the Su family and the eldest daughter of Aunt Su Gou Lanxiang.
Zhuang Zhixi muttered: "Why is she crying here?"
At this time, Zhao Guihua and the others came out, and even Mingmei leaned on the glass to look out.
Sure enough, when it comes to gossip, their compound has the most.
It's going to be lively this time.
Zhao Guihua and the others had been in the hospital recently, so they didn't know what happened, but Liang Meifen knew. She quickly said, "Su Pandi came in the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year. She came to ask Wang Xiangxiu for money."
"Money? What kind of money does she want?"
Liang Meifen curled her lips, "It's all for Aunt Su. Wasn't Aunt Su sentenced? She was sent to the Gobi Desert to plant trees. It was originally planned to be sent before the New Year, but it seems that it was delayed to the end of the year due to weather reasons. If it is sent back and forth at the end of the year, it will definitely delay the New Year. In order to take care of the public security comrades during the New Year, the superiors scheduled the transportation after the New Year. So, Su Zhaodi applied for a visit during the New Year. We don't know what Aunt Su said to her daughter. Anyway, she said that if there is money, give her some. If she has money, she can eat better in prison. Even if she is in prison, she can save money in the canteen. So, Su Zhaodi came to find Wang Xiangxiu. How could she have money? So she relied on Wang Xiangxiu and insisted on asking Wang Xiangxiu for the money that Aunt Su had saved in the past. Will Wang Xiangxiu admit it? She said that his house had been searched and there was no money at all. Su Zhaodi was not capable of fighting with Wang Xiangxiu, so she could only come to cry every day, from morning to night."
Zhao Guihua: "This Su Zhaodi is really..."
Su Pandi is already in jail, but she still listens to my mother. Besides, I have no idea what kind of person her mother is.
"This person is the same. If she were as powerful as Su Pandi, it would be fine. But the problem is that she is not as powerful as Su Pandi. She doesn't dare to quarrel or fight with Wang Xiangxiu. She just cries. She is very annoying. In the past few days, every time she cried, someone would chase her away. But this person is like a dog-skin plaster. If you chase her away, she will cry at the door. If you chase her away again, she will go to the entrance of the alley to cry. Everyone thinks she is very unlucky."
"Of course not. Who wants to see her cry on New Year's Day? It's so annoying."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wang came over from the backyard and said, "Su Zhaodi, get out of here right now. You're not done yet, are you? You really can't do anything to you in front of us, right? If you keep crying here, we'll go find the police. I felt sorry for you being alone, but I didn't expect you to be so tactless. How could you be so wicked? You're deliberately trying to annoy people, aren't you? Aren't you going to give money to your mother? Then I'd like to ask, who would a prisoner give money to and what would he do with it? Will it involve more cases?"
Aunt Wang called out! Zhao Guihua laughed. She had cooperated with Aunt Wang countless times. She said loudly: "Maybe Aunt Su didn't ask for any money at all. It's hard to say whether she met her mother or not. Maybe she thought that my mother was rich and wanted to make a fortune here because she was thinking about this matter."
"ah!"
When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed that this was a new idea! "Aunt Zhao, what you said makes sense."
"No way. Su Zhaodi has always listened to her mother and cared a lot about her family. It should be for his mother, right?"
Zhao Guihua watched Su Zhaodi shrink her neck, and she said meaningfully: "That's hard to say, she listens to her mother, but isn't her mother in prison now? She can't get out in the future. Can she still listen to her mother? Besides, think about it, can you just meet someone who has been sentenced to life imprisonment? And it's New Year's Day, she went to the prison to see her mother? Is there a normal person who would do that? Let's not talk about this, her husband has always been in charge of her, watching her, and not letting her contact her family. And this person comes here crying every day, from morning to night. Her husband's family doesn't know anything about it?"
After Zhao Guihua's analysis, everyone suddenly felt that old ginger is still wise. In this matter, what Aunt Zhao said makes a lot of sense.
At this time, Su Zhaodi also panicked and said quickly: "I didn't, I didn't, I just wanted to ask Wang Xiangxiu for money for my mother! She has hurt my mother so much, shouldn't she hand over my mother's money?"
Wow, this guy actually speaks in a very coherent manner.
At this time, Wang Xiangxiu also came out. She had been avoiding Su Zhaodi these days. Although she couldn't suffer a loss if the two quarreled, Su Zhaodi crying outside would actually ruin her reputation. Besides, crying like this on New Year's Day would make the neighbors feel unlucky, and they would definitely blame her for causing trouble.
This is forcing her to deal with it.
Wang Xiangxiu was unusually smart, so she kept avoiding Su Zhaodi, but after hearing Zhao Guihua's analysis, she suddenly realized what was going on.
She rushed out and said, "Su Zhaodi, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Yes, how could you meet that old hag Gou Lanxiang? When the New Year was approaching, I wanted to go to the juvenile detention center to see Jin Lai, but they didn't allow me to see him. How did you meet your mother on New Year's Day? I'm afraid you didn't come here to cheat her out of money? Your mother didn't have any money left. The yellow croakers were searched and confiscated. What money are you asking for? If my family had money, would we have lived so hard? Your mother confessed the yellow croaker. If she had money, would she not tell me? Tell me. Did you come to my house on purpose to extort money?"
"You know what, Wang Xiangxiu is right. Aunt Su even confessed about the yellow croaker. How could she not confess about anything else? Of course not. Then what is this Su Zhaodi asking for money?"
"Did she come here on purpose to harass Wang Xiangxiu? If she couldn't trick her into giving her money, she would extort money for the sake of her own family, right?"
"That makes sense. I think that's the case as well."
Su Zhaodi panicked even more and stammered, "I, I, I, I didn't. No, it's not like that, I did it for my mom!"
Her stuttering made everyone conclude that Su Zhaodi was lying.
She really wasn't asking for money on behalf of Aunt Su.
Liang Meifen looked at her mother-in-law in shock. You know, Su Zhaodi has come every day since the first day of the new year, and this is the fourth day in a row. Everyone is extremely annoyed, but no one thought that she was lying.
But, as soon as her mother-in-law came back, she saw it at a glance!
And he immediately exposed Su Zhaodi's trick.
Isn’t this scary?
This is so scary.
Her mother-in-law was indeed not an ordinary warrior.
No wonder she always fails to deal with her mother-in-law and is so scared. This is normal. Her mother-in-law is so powerful that ordinary people are no match for her. When Liang Meifen thought about this, she shrank even more.
Look at what a master is. This is a master.
Even if there were a hundred people like her, they wouldn't be able to deal with this old lady.
Priscilla Leung is as quiet as a chicken.
At this time, Su Zhaodi still wanted to resist and said, "How can you be so heartless? My mother lives in the same yard with you, and I also grew up in this yard. How can you doubt me..."
"Why can't I doubt you?"
Wang Xiangxiu also cried and shouted: "Su Zhaodi, haven't you Su family hurt me enough? You still want to ask for money? You are really bullying me too much. How can you be so heartless? Have you ever thought that Jin Lai and the other three are also your nephews? How can you do such a thing? How can you be so cruel and want to cheat us of money? Cheating us, an orphan and a widow, out of money?"
Aunt Wang glanced at Wang Xiangxiu, and then said to Su Zhaodi: "Su Zhaodi, you have been making trouble here for several days. We are celebrating the New Year happily, but you come here to cause trouble. Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to annoy me? You can do such things, and we can't doubt you? I think there is no Aunt Su's business at all. You are blackmailing us. Come on, let's go to the police station and talk!"
"No, I won't go!"
Su Zhaodi screamed out.
"Let's go!" Aunt Wang came forward to pull her, Su Zhaodi struggled to break free and ran out quickly: "I won't go to the police station, I won't go!!!"
She was really a little scared. After all, her mother and her sister had gone in. If she went in too... She shuddered, shook with fear, and ran out as fast as she could, as if a ghost was chasing her.
"She runs really fast!"
"I didn't cry outside this time."
"I didn't cry in the alley!"
"Needless to say, she must have been scared away. If she was really afraid of something, she must have been lying."
"That's for sure..."
After seeing this, what else is there for everyone to understand? Zhao Guihua guessed it right. Su Zhaodi really didn't go to see Aunt Su and then come to ask for money. She wanted to ask for money on her own.
It's possible that the idea came from her husband.
Oh, no need to guarantee it, it is definitely true.
After all, Su Zhaodi didn't look very bright, and she didn't have any rules for doing things. Aunt Su taught her to be a fool with no brains. She had no self-esteem and no scheming. To be able to do this, she must have been guided by someone.
The only people who can convince her now are those in her husband's family.
Thinking of this, everyone was shocked. It turned out that one should not look at people with old eyes. They originally thought that the two sisters of the Su family were really devoted to this old lady. But they did not expect that after this person went in, Su Zhaodi was fooled by someone and had other ideas.
"I'm telling you, the public security system is very strict. How can you just meet someone whenever you want?"
"You are an afterthought."
"How come it's hindsight? I said it at the time. Why does this person always come? That's not right. Isn't this what you mean? You say..."
"You are so nice, is that what you mean? Then I can say that I understand it too..."
Everyone talked at once, and after a while, they all laughed out loud, but Wang Xiangxiu pursed her lips and didn't laugh.
When she thought about these few days, she felt aggrieved. What kind of people were in this family she married into? From her mother-in-law to her sister-in-law, none of them behaved like human beings. Even in this situation, they were still thinking about making a fortune from her.
Indeed, Aunt Su did have such a sum of money, but why should she give it away? Who was Su Zhaodi?
She thought angrily, why don't the people in the Su family just die?
She bit her lip and felt a headache.
Aunt Wang: "That's enough. You should go home as well and be careful next time."
Wang Xiangxiu nodded: "Thank you everyone."
She bowed to everyone and said, "I am sorry for causing trouble to you all these days. Thank you all. If you hadn't exposed this person, she might have come again. Thank you."
Although everyone has some opinions about Wang Xiangxiu, she has become more normal since Aunt Su passed away. Although she still has some small thoughts, she is different from before. She also works diligently with her hands.
Maybe his mind is not clear yet, but at least he doesn't dare to do anything bad.
We are neighbors, as long as we can get along well.
This incident made everyone even more annoyed with Su Zhaodi.
This is an unlucky thing.
"Widow Wang, we didn't take it to heart. It's okay."
"Yes, you can't be blamed for this. Who could have thought she would be like this?"
"What kind of good people can Aunt Su teach? They are all out of tune..."
“Of course not…”
"Su Pandi went in, and Su Zhaodi started jumping around again. Fortunately, she is not a capable person, but a coward..."
Seeing that everyone's topic had changed again, Wang Xiangxiu breathed a sigh of relief. She went home quietly, finally relaxed a little. The two children in her family looked at Wang Xiangxiu worriedly and asked, "Mom, has the eldest aunt left?" The two children had been tossed around a lot in the past few days.
Tonglai doesn't even dare to go out to play.
Wang Xiangxiu nodded and said, "Let's go, your good aunt, she lied. What she said was not true, she was just trying to cheat you out of money. Fortunately, her lies were exposed by your grandmother Zhao. It was just because your grandmother Wang was frightened that she ran away. This person is really not a good person. When you see your aunt in the future, stay away from her. This kind of person is not worth associating with."
The child didn't understand much, and when he heard that the man was a liar, he became very angry and cursed, "Bad guy, what a bad guy."
Wang Xiangxiu went forward and hugged the two children, saying, "From now on, I really can't trust anyone. You are all I have, and you are all I have. Let's live a good life."
"good!"
The three of them were talking in the house, while the others were in the yard. After all, this kind of thing was worth discussing. Bai Fendou was the loudest and cursed the most.
Zhao Guihua only took a look and went into the house, complaining: "You want to disturb my daughter-in-law and grandchildren's rest by crying? You have to see if I, Zhao Guihua, am easy to mess with. I will expose your tricks!"
Liang Meifen gave a thumbs up sincerely: "Mom, you are awesome."
Others couldn't see through it, but this old lady grasped the key points at a glance. She is really amazing.
Zhao Guihua: “Humph!”
She pointed to her eyes and said, "Don't try to hide from my wise eyes!"
