She has an old mother in poor health who needs to take medicine, and she also has children to raise, so naturally she wants to earn more money.
Mingmei was also happy. She said, "Get a bigger water cup and buy some puffed tangerine peel from the pharmacy. Our company will reimburse you."
Although there is a horn in the car, there are many times when you have to shout at the top of your voice, especially during the New Year and other holidays when there are many people. Your throat will be sore after a day. Xiao Cui listened to Mingmei's reminder and nodded: "Okay, I know this, I've been prepared for it."
They are all from the same unit. Although not in the same department, they can be seen and often come into contact with each other, and can be heard by everyone.
Mingmei thought of the accident in her dream and said, "Also, when it rains or snows and the weather is bad, the car may slip. If the weather is bad, you must remind the passengers and hold on to the handrails. We are in a position where we are prone to being pushed forward. So you must be careful and hold on tightly. Your own safety is also very important."
"Okay, I'll remember it and won't be careless. Thank you for reminding me."
Xiao Cui wrote it down carefully and said, "We don't have a lot of work to do here, but you'd better do a small count every week and check the dispatch forms. This way you can relax at the end of the month and avoid a mess if something goes wrong. You can quickly find where the mistake is."
"good."
"Also, for those who need to schedule shifts here, you need to post the forms for the following week every Saturday afternoon when you are working."
She gave some instructions, and Mingmei wrote them down in her notebook. Xiaocui said in surprise, "Huh? You use your left hand."
Mingmei: "I can use both hands. I used my left hand when I was little, but my parents watched me change, so now I can use both hands."
Xiao Cui: "Then can you write different things at the same time?"
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "No way, you think I'm so great, I'm just an ordinary person."
Xiao Cui sighed and said, "You are not an ordinary person. You are a well-known and powerful figure in our bus station."
Mingmei blinked innocently. Xiaocui said, "You are the one who got promoted and raised the fastest."
Mingmei: "...Isn't this about catching a thief?"
She said, "Oh, yes, you should also pay attention to this. There are usually thieves on the bus. In addition to reminding passengers, you should also pay attention and don't act rashly. You can ask the section chief and other people."
Xiao Cui: "Don't worry, I know."
The two of them reminded each other about their work. Mingmei had already taken Xiaocui to meet the driver who was working with her in the morning. Xiaocui naturally returned the favor and said, "Come, let me introduce you. There are six people in our office. This is Sister Chen, and this is..."
At this point, she smiled and said, "Actually, I don't need to introduce you. You know them all."
She was not familiar with the driver because they were a middle-aged man and a young woman, and they did not interact with each other on a regular basis. The driver was not at the bus station all day, so naturally they did not know each other well. But Mingmei could not have been unfamiliar with the people in the office, as she was a member of the bus station staff.
Mingmei also smiled: "Well, no need to introduce, just go and get busy."
Xiao Cui: "Okay, I'll leave first."
Mingmei returned to her seat and took a deep breath.
"What? You're nervous."
Mingmei nodded and said, "This is a new job. I follow the car as soon as I get to work. I'm still a little uncomfortable in the office."
"You'll get used to it slowly. Our office work isn't actually that much, it's just that some tasks require you to be more careful." Sister Chen comforted her.
Mingmei: "Well, I will behave well."
She turned around and saw another sister, Sister Zhong, had already started knitting.
Mingmei: “…”
Well, it turns out that work here in the office is easy.
The first day of office work began like this. Mingmei didn't slack off. She took out a cup and poured herself a glass of water. Then she began to look through the previous materials carefully, trying to get familiar with the work as soon as possible. Although the work was said to be very simple, she still had to adapt to it.
"Amei."
Mingmei looked up: "Hmm?"
"What are you drinking?"
Sister Chen looked at Mingmei's cup curiously. Mingmei looked down and said, "Oh, this is what you are talking about. This is a lemon."
"lemon?"
Everyone was a little curious, as they had never heard of this thing before.
Mingmei: "It's a kind of fruit, but unlike apples, it can be eaten directly. It can be soaked in water. Mine is dried lemon. My uncle heard that I was pregnant and sent me some lemon slices from another place. It's said that it's better to drink a little, and it can replenish something. I can't remember. I don't really understand it, but I just drink it anyway."
"This thing is quite rare. I've never seen it before." Sister Zhong also leaned over to take a look.
Mingmei: "Do you want to give it a try?"
Sister Chen quickly shook her head: "No, no, how can we argue with a pregnant woman like you."
Sister Zhong glanced at Sister Chen, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Sister Chen glanced at Sister Zhong and continued, "We are so old and not pregnant, so there is no need. You can eat it yourself. How many months are you now?"
Mingmei: "About a month."
"Ah, you found it out in just over a month?" Everyone was quite surprised. Generally speaking, many people find out about it in two or three months, so hers is quite early. Mingmei nodded: "Yes, I felt sick and had morning sickness, and I found it out through my pulse."
"That's quite early."
Mingmei: "Yes, there is a girl in our yard who is two months pregnant, and she discovered it even later than I did."
As lesbians, they quickly started chatting when they got together.
There was only one unmarried person in their office, and the others were all married women, so they had to discuss pregnancy and childbirth. Mingmei was also very outgoing and got used to it quickly.
Sister Chen was even more generous and said, "My house is only two floors away from your mother's house. If you have anything to tell me, just tell me. I know your mother too."
Mingmei nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."
Sister Chen sighed, "You're talking about this... When your mother was at work, we all called her Sister Lan; now that her daughter is at work, she calls us Sister Chen, Sister Zhong, and Sister Wang... It's all about the generations."
Mingmei suppressed her laughter and said, "Let's talk about our own affairs."
“That’s true.”
In fact, Mingmei should be called "Auntie" according to reason, but because there are many people who have taken over in recent years, many of them are in Mingmei's situation, and the names are all messed up. Everyone doesn't have to follow the elders, and basically just call them brother and sister, which is convenient.
"Mingmei, I see your man always comes to pick you up. He looks really good. You two are a handsome man and a beautiful woman. What does your man do?"
"Mechanical City. He works in the publicity department of the mechanical factory."
"That's good."
Everyone was chatting and laughing. When it was time to get off work, Mingmei sat on the back of her bicycle and said to Zhuang Zhixi, "I feel like I said just as much today as I usually do when selling tickets. I just didn't have to shout."
She pressed against Zhuang Zhixi's back. Zhuang Zhixi said, "It's the first day, so it's inevitable that everyone is a little enthusiastic. Maybe that won't happen in two days."
Mingmei nodded: "Indeed."
If she was familiar with it, she would not keep asking questions like she did today. She lifted her legs, shook them gently, and said, "I wonder if I have finished my scouring in the toilet today."
Zhuang Zhixi's digging mouth twitched, but he was still quite firm: "They must have finished it. It's already the third day. If they can't finish a pit in three days, it's too wicked, right? We are in such a dire situation. It's really wicked that they don't live nearby."
This would be fine if it were cold, but now it's hot and the smell is really strong. Everyone is complaining.
Zhuang Zhixi already knew that some people could not bear it anymore and had already gone to the streets to make trouble.
"I think the leader who made this decision has a short circuit in his brain. He is really mentally ill and didn't even think about it. Who would hide gold, silver and jewelry in a cesspool? They searched it so carefully. I am really impressed. Besides, who would take something and not hide it themselves, but leave it there instead? Are these guys crazy? I think they are completely sick."
Mingmei: "Maybe... they want to observe other people's reactions?"
She thought this was quite possible.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then you said to build toilets and observe. How wrong is it to observe while removing feces?"
The couple couldn't understand it, and of course they were not the only ones who couldn't understand it. No one around them could understand it.
Fortunately, the two did not encounter this situation when they returned home today. It seems that they finally had some rationality and did not continue to have such a situation on the third day. However, as soon as the two entered the yard, they felt that the yard was particularly lively today.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Why is everyone here?"
"Oh, you young couple, don't know that Aunt Zhou's handling result has come out."
"Ah, what is that?"
Zhao Guihua: "I was accused of promoting feudal superstition and using it to curse others, which was then used by bad people and almost caused a disaster. I was said to be imprisoned for four months."
Four months? Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi looked at each other, both a little shocked. This time is really not short.
He asked quietly, "How did you know that?"
Zhao Guihua pointed at Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt Wang went to the street to deliver matchboxes today, and she happened to catch up with the street receiving the notice."
The speed is quite fast now.
Aunt Wang also sighed: "I thought she could be released."
The reason they thought so was because of the previous case of Bai Fendou, in which everyone was released. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhou, who seemed to be no worse than Bai Fendou, was dealt with.
Zhao Guihua thought for a moment and said, "Our factory's security department also handles these matters, but because we all work in the same factory and we can find some acquaintances to make concessions, some matters may fall into the hands of the security department, and if they are not very serious, the factory will let them go lightly. After all, we are all in the same factory. But if it falls to the police station or a higher level, they will always handle your affairs impartially. Especially in the case of Aunt Zhou, or the police station in another district, they will conduct a normal investigation and naturally handle it normally."
Aunt Wang whispered: "Actually..."
She looked at the people in the yard, hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard, I heard that the victim, Aunt Zhou's in-laws, asked for severe punishment. Otherwise, she wouldn't have..."
"My mother."
"Hey, why is it like this..."
"How are we going to meet in the future if this in-law does this?"
People nowadays are still used to making light of big things. Although they disliked Aunt Zhou, they couldn't help but speak up for her when they heard that she was going to jail. After all, they were the victims. It's easy to talk without any pain in your waist.
“That’s still a bit heartless.”
"That's right. When Aunt Zhou comes back, Jiang Lu's life will definitely be even more difficult. How can parents not think more about their child? This is too reckless."
“Who says it’s not true?”
Zhao Guihua was somewhat unhappy to hear this. She was like this before. She was a bold person who said what she thought and never gave up. She also often fought for the rights of others. But many times, after she played the good cop role, someone else would come out to play the bad cop role.
It makes her look like a nobody.
The fact that she got the benefits was innocent, but it made her look like she had a bad temper. In the Su family's affairs, Zhao Guihua had suffered a loss in her previous life. This loss did not mean that she lost anything, but that she had lost a good reputation.
But you have to know that she speaks for everyone.
So Zhao Guihua would never do this in her life. She listened to what everyone said without saying anything. Whatever these people said, it had nothing to do with her. Aunt Wang said, "I think maybe Jiang Lu's family doesn't want to be in-laws anymore. It's a good opportunity to force Jiang Lu to divorce."
"Ah, it's better to destroy a temple than to destroy a marriage. If we do this, it will be the fault of Jiang Lu's parents."
"Who said it wasn't?"
"That won't do."
Mingmei curled her lips and thought, what's wrong with that? Zhou Qun is not a good person either. She heard everything he said clearly when she was pretending to be a ghost. So no matter how much Zhou Qun acted, Mingmei firmly believed that he was not a good person.
This kind of wicked person is also suspected to be infertile. The sooner Jiang Lu divorces him, the sooner she can escape from her misery.
Since Jiang Lu wants to have a child so much, she should leave Zhou Qun.
On the question of who between Zhou Qun and Jiang Lu cannot have a child, Mingmei firmly believes that that person must be Zhou Qun.
Seeing that everyone seemed to sympathize with Aunt Zhou's situation, Zhao Guihua couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to go home. Mingmei immediately came over, took Zhao Guihua's arm, and said, "Mom, I'll go with you."
Zhao Guihua glanced at her, and Mingmei smiled: "Let's go together!"
After she entered the house, she suddenly thought of something and turned around to say to Zhuang Zhixi, "When there are fewer people around, collect the salted fish. I think they should be almost done drying. Besides, it's cloudy today. It might rain."
"good."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "I am still looking forward to the rain."
After all, he is her biological son. As soon as Zhuang Zhixi sticks out his butt, her mother knows what he wants to do.
She looked at Zhuang Zhixi, sneered, and said, "You just want to watch the fun and don't mind the trouble."
Zhuang Zhixi was quite calm and said confidently: "Is it not okay for me to like rain? It's cool when it rains."
Zhao Guihua: "You obviously want to see Bai Fendou and his son having fun."
The father and son from the Bai family were truly amazing. They really didn't want to spend money and lived with the broken window glass. That is to say, even if you don't make glass, you can make a cheap thing to block it.
Hey, that father and son don’t do that. They just carry it on their backs and say it’s cooler this way.
But the problem is, today is only June 1st, it's not hot yet, if we talk about heat, it's really hot at noon, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is really big. These two gods have to bear it.
Blindly showing off.
If it rains... the Zhuang family looked across silently, feeling that their family would definitely suffer.
Mingmei: "They are at work today, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "They are back to work. The factory can't give them too long a vacation. Besides, cleaning the toilet is not a physical job and it won't affect their work."
Zhuang Zhixi sighed: "You said Bai Fendou, he really has a connection with toilets. The toilet in our alley was finally cleaned, and we just had to wait for the smell to go away. But he went back to the factory to do this job."
He joked: "He didn't get any official position in the factory, but he became the director of the toilet."
"You're just being mean." Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at him again and leaned out the window to see the weather outside. It was really cloudy. It seemed like there was going to be rain recently, but it was cloudy all the time and it didn't rain. A few days ago, it was cloudy all day and it didn't rain. I don't know if it will rain today.
She said, "No matter what, don't forget to collect the fish for me."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll do it. Can't I do it now?"
Zhao Guihua: "I don't know when these red armbands will finish their work and leave. They are really wasting my time here. If they weren't here, my second batch of fish would have been left hanging."
Mingmei: "Mom, I think they will be here soon. We have been trying for several days and have found nothing. Even if they want to observe everyone's reaction, they have probably observed enough. They are not the kind of people who work hard, so how can they stay here forever?"
Zhao Guihua nodded, thinking that Mingmei's analysis made a lot of sense.
She said: "If they leave quickly, I can go to the mountain to catch fish. There are so many people going up the mountain now, it's hard to guard against them. If people knew about this good place, there would be no good chance to catch fish."
Mingmei said excitedly: "I have weekends off now, I will go with you on the weekend."
Zhao Guihua: "Why are you going? You are a pregnant woman now. Don't go up the mountain. You will be too tired and stretched."
Mingmei said coquettishly, "Mom, others are still working until the birth, but look at me, I just got pregnant, what do I have to worry about?"
Zhao Guihua didn't think so. She said, "You should be careful just after you get pregnant. Besides, pregnant women have a very hard life. Others are willing to work until the birth, but they have no other choice because of life. If there is a way, why gamble with your body? You should take good care of yourself at this time. Giving birth is actually a journey through the gates of hell. How can you not be careful? Besides, if you don't take good care of yourself during pregnancy and confinement, you will get a lot of diseases. You can't just give yourself a lot of bran just to have a baby, right?"
Although she is an old lady from the old society, she has also experienced the changes of the times. She is also a fashionable old lady. Although she does not understand many fashionable ideas, she also tries to get closer to young people and absorbs a lot of knowledge.
Besides, there are some things that you understand in your heart even if you don’t absorb new knowledge. Sometimes you don’t understand, but you are just pretending.
Take pregnancy for example, who doesn’t know that they should take good care of the baby?
But many people don’t take good care of their babies and don’t know how to take care of themselves during the confinement period. Wang Zhaodi said that her mother had to go out to cook, wash clothes and do other chores the day after she gave birth, otherwise her grandmother would scold them. So it can be seen that sometimes some people have no choice.
But their family is well off, and she has never thought of making things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Naturally, she hopes to take good care of her.
She said, "Take it easy."
Mingmei blinked and said with a smile, "Okay."
Zhao Guihua: "Oh, right. You haven't been to the hospital since the last time you went there, right?"
Mingmei shook her head: "No."
Zhao Guihua was speechless and said, "You idiot, why don't you take it seriously? Take some time off tomorrow and I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
Mingmei blinked her big eyes and said, "But I'm fine."
Zhao Guihua: "Of course I know you are fine, but you are a pregnant woman, you have to go to the hospital for check-ups every now and then, first to confirm the time, and second to check your physical condition. You really are..."
She looked Mingmei up and down and said sincerely, "You are such a fool."
Mingmei: “Hey.”
Mingmei was not annoyed at all after being scolded. If she couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words, then she was really like what Zhao Guihua said, a fool.
But this time the rain didn't fall.
Zhuang Zhixi was particularly disappointed. He was such a wicked man. He just wanted to have some fun. Mingmei guessed one thing right. Mingmei thought those red armbands couldn't do their job. She was right. Unexpectedly, they finally retreated.
Of course, the toilet was not done well. They found a group of people to do it, but only sent two people to supervise.
People who really do the work can indeed finish it very quickly.
Zhao Guihua heard about it from her neighbors early in the morning, but she didn't care much. She rode her bicycle out to the bus station to pick up Mingmei, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the hospital together. The doctor who received them was the same female doctor as last time.
She had a kind face and even remembered Mingmei and the others. She smiled and said, "So it's you."
This time, when she felt Mingmei's pulse, she was quite sure. She said, "Mingmei is about a little more than one and a half months pregnant, but definitely less than two months." Compared to the last time when she was not sure, she was still very sure this time. with nutrition."
Mingmei: "Okay."
Mingmei knew she was pregnant with twins, but she couldn't tell him. After all, she couldn't tell him why she knew. But Zhao Guihua did speak up. She remembered that Mingmei had a hard time carrying twins in her previous life, so she wanted to tell him about it in advance so that he would be more careful about his body.
She said, "Doctor, do you think she could be pregnant with twins? My daughter is pregnant with twins, and I see she's already had a reaction at such an early stage, so maybe she's pregnant with twins too."
The old doctor said: "It's hard to say. She's too young to tell right now. You can come back when she's three months pregnant. I'll take her pulse and we'll be able to confirm it by then. Before that, it's just a guess and we can't be completely sure."
Zhao Guihua: "I thought this would be found out soon."
The old doctor smiled and said, "No, you have to wait at least three months. I am a bit famous in this field in our city, but I can't guarantee that I can check clearly if the month is too early, and it's even harder for others, so you don't have to worry. If Western medicine does an examination, it can also find out accurately, but as I said, it's not possible at this time. If the month is too early, no one can be sure, it's all empty talk. But if this kind of inheritance runs in your family, then it can't be said that it is completely impossible. If you are pregnant with two, it will be more difficult, so you have to pay attention to it."
Zhao Guihua and Mingmei nodded seriously. Both of them knew the inside story, but they both pretended not to know. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out together. Zhao Guihua took a deep breath and said, "Come on, I'll take you back to work. The doctor is right. We should be more careful than anything else. In fact, we don't need to think about these things too early. We... eh? Eh? Do you think that is Jiang Lu?"
Mingmei looked in the direction Zhao Guihua was talking about, and saw Jiang Lu, absent-mindedly holding a piece of paper, going to the toilet.
She was not alone next to her, there was also an old lady who looked very energetic. She was wearing neat clothes without any patches, and it was obvious that she was a pampered old lady.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and followed without hesitation. These two people just love to watch the fun.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed and stood silently at the door, then heard a voice from inside, "Let me take a look."
Jiang Lu bit her lip and shook her head, but her performance still made the old lady understand at once. Even without looking at the medical records, the old lady guessed it. She said, "You are fine, right!"
Jiang Lu bit her lip and shed tears.
The old lady slapped her on the back and scolded her, "Why are you so confused? Why are you crying at this time? Tell me, are you okay? You can give birth, right?"
Jiang Lu was still crying and not saying anything. The old lady didn't care about that and directly picked her fingers, and finally picked out the test report. She took out her reading glasses and put them on, and looked at it carefully. Her lips trembled a little, and she cried when she saw this: "You can give birth. You really can give birth. It's not your fault that you two don't have children. I knew it, I knew that the problem is not my daughter. This old lady Zhou, she deserves to die, she really deserves to die. Divorce, we are fine, let's divorce, we will find someone who can give birth. Let's live a good life, and don't be entangled in this mud pond of their Zhou family and sink with them."
The old lady was really excited. Over the past ten years, her daughter had suffered so much criticism for being unable to have children. Now it was time for the truth to come out.
"Divorce!" she said firmly.
Jiang Lu had been crying, but now she shook her head firmly and said, "I won't."
Jiang Lu was particularly firm: "No, I will not divorce."
She begged bitterly, "Mom, I beg you, please don't let us get divorced. Zhou Qun and I have feelings for each other, and Zhou Qun treats me very well. I don't want to get divorced, and I can't get divorced. What kind of person can I find after the divorce? Besides, I don't want to find another one. Zhou Qun has been so sincere to me over the years. Even when he said I can't have children, Zhou Qun never complained or blamed me. Now it's proven that he can't have children, should I abandon him immediately? Mom, even if you beat me to death, even if you don't recognize me, I will not leave Zhou Qun."
"You, you you you. Are you trying to piss me off to death? Haven't you always wanted a child? How can you and Zhou Qun have a child together?"
Jiang Lu: "I have my own way, Mom. I will give birth to a child. Although, although I feel sorry for Zhou Qun, I also want to have a successor for the Zhou family. He won't blame me. I am doing this for my own family."
Even the well-informed old lady was shocked. She asked, "What bullshit are you talking about?"
Jiang Lu said seriously: "I will give birth to a child. You should be nicer to Zhou Qun in the future. I plan to find someone to have a child with. I won't let Zhou Qun know about this. Your daughter is sorry for Zhou Qun. It is our Jiang family who is sorry for the Zhou family, not the Zhou family. You have to help Zhou Qun more."
If she had a child with someone else, then the Jiang family would be sorry to the Zhou family.
Although, although she did it for the family, she still hurt Zhou Qun's love for her. She hoped that this would make her parents feel more guilty towards Zhou Qun, and help her more. It didn't make sense for her father to plan for her brother all day long and not for her man, right?
She said seriously: "Mom, Zhou Qun and I will be filial to you in the future."
old lady:"……"
She looked at her daughter in a daze and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are we sorry to the Zhou family? Sorry for nothing. Old Madam Zhou hurt your father so much, and Zhou Qun can't even have children. Are you going to die in this family? It's the Zhou family who are sorry to us. How can you be so confused now?"
Jiang Lu: "If I have a child with someone else, wouldn't that be unfair to the Zhou family?"
The old lady was not misled by Jiang Lu: "He is infertile, he is sorry for you, you can choose to divorce."
Jiang Lu: “No!”
The old lady of the Jiang family looked at her daughter who was already so confused that she couldn't get any more confused. She took a deep breath and asked, "Are you going to get a divorce or not?"
Jiang Lu raised her head and said firmly: "I will never divorce you even if you kill me. Don't dream about it."
Old lady: “You, you, you…”
She was so out of breath that she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Lu: "Mom, are you getting old and confused? You should know that a good woman won't marry two men. I know you think Zhou Qun is not worthy of me, but I think Brother Qun is the best man in the world. I have never thought about remarrying. As for children... I have thought about it before. If I can't get pregnant, I will find someone to give birth to him. Now it's okay, it's okay, I have no problem, so I will think of a way myself. There are always more solutions than problems."
Mother Jiang: "..."
She held onto the wall and felt like she was going to faint from anger.
Jiang Lu: "Mom, can you help me find a man? One who is healthy, good-looking, and a little educated. The children born by such a man will also have a better future in terms of genetics."
Jiang Lu is a feudal person, right? She is really feudal.
You say she understands a little bit, and she does understand a little bit. She even knows about heredity.
"Since I'm going to have a baby, I want a boy right away. It would be best if I could find a man who can father several boys in a row. I don't know many men like him. Can you help me find such a man?"
Jiang Lu's words were so logical that her mother almost fainted from anger. She looked at her daughter with hatred, and finally she could no longer bear it. She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "If you don't divorce, don't recognize us as your parents."
She continued, "As for the things in the house, none of them have anything to do with you. If you don't divorce me, I won't give you a penny."
She looked at her daughter and said, "I don't know how the Zhou family turned you into this, but I'm telling you this. You have to listen to it whether you want to or not. If you don't divorce me, we'll sever our relationship."
She took a few deep breaths, turned and left.
Zhao Guihua and Mingmei, who were eavesdropping at the door, immediately turned around and rushed into a ward.
All the patients in the ward looked up.
Zhao Guihua didn't care what others thought and secretly looked outside. She saw Jiang Lu's mother come out and leave. Jiang Lu came out soon after, with a pair of red eyes, and walked very fast.
Zhao Guihua and Mingmei looked at each other. Mingmei: "Uh..."
Zhao Guihua: "Let's go too."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out together, but they walked quite slowly. After all, they didn't want to bump into Jiang Lu. Fortunately, Jiang Lu was very eager to leave the hospital and walked very fast. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out, they could no longer see Jiang Lu.
Zhao Guihua drove Mingmei back to her workplace.
Along the way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were exceptionally quiet. They really didn't know what to say and were a little confused.
Especially Mingmei. In Mingmei's mind, Jiang Lu was a little confused, but no matter how confused she was, she didn't expect Jiang Lu to do such a thing. She actually wanted to have a child with someone else. More importantly, she didn't plan to divorce, and she planned to pass the child off as Zhou Qun's.
Not only that, she also wanted to drag her mother's family into the trouble. She wanted her mother's family to feel guilty towards the Zhou family and thus help Zhou Qun.
Mingmei tried to figure out this logic several times but still couldn't understand it.
Is this something a human can do?
When she reached the office door, she finally spoke: "Mom...tell me, do you think Jiang Lu is sick?"
Looking at Jiang Lu's mother, she doesn't seem to be such a confused person.
Her mother wasn't confused, so how could she be so confused? Zhao Guihua was also quite speechless. She said, "Who knows."
She warned Mingmei: "Don't tell anyone about this. After all, it's someone else's privacy and we can't talk about it."
Mingmei blinked, "Can't I tell you, Zhixi-nii?"
Zhao Guihua: "... Well, forget it. You tell me. If you don't tell me, even if Jiang Lu is pregnant, the bastard Lao San will be able to guess it. I don't know who this guy looks like, he is so smart. But you two should not tell anyone else. I won't tell anyone either. What happens to them is their business. Let's not get involved. If something goes wrong, it will be over. Who knows if Zhou Qun will go crazy."
Mingmei: “I understand.”
Not to mention Ming Mei was greatly shocked, even an experienced old lady like Zhao Guihua felt the same way. She really didn't understand why Jiang Lu could be so devoted. Is Zhou Qun really that good?
But what’s so good about Zhou Qun?
If you say that he is not very good-looking, then he only went to primary school, and he has not even graduated yet.
If you want to talk about the good family conditions, it's a single-parent family, and there's a mean and vicious mother;
Even in the relationship between husband and wife, he was just a three-second man. Even so, he didn't follow the rules and fooled around outside. For a man like this, she really didn't understand what Jiang Lu saw in this man? She didn't understand at all.
If it was Wang Zhaodi, Zhao Guihua would understand.
Because Wang Zhaodi's family was so poor, no matter what kind of man she found, her life would be better than her original life. Zhou Qun had a high salary in this era. Naturally, many people were willing to do so. After all, compared to being able to survive and have enough food, Zhou's family could be tolerated no matter how bad it was.
But, it shouldn’t be Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu's family conditions can be said to be quite good. His parents have good backgrounds and are considered to have power. With a good family condition, even Jiang Lu's parents are not foolish people. Just look at what their family does and what Jiang Lu's mother says.
His family is much better off than all the other families in their courtyard.
But even so, Jiang Lu was stuck in this quagmire and refused to come out.
Zhao Guihua started shaking her head again, shaking her head over and over again, she couldn't understand! But compared to Mingmei, she knew Jiang Lu better than anyone else. In her previous life, Jiang Lu just refused to come out, probably because she was brainwashed thoroughly by the mother and son of the Zhou family. In her heart, no matter who it was, no one could beat Zhou Qun.
Of course, they just watched other people's affairs, but it was not easy for them to get involved. It just so happened that the large group of red armbands had withdrawn recently, and she also planned to go up the mountain. As for whether those people were just bluffing.
Zhao Guihua was not too worried about this.
It can't be wrong to be able to fish, right? She doesn't steal, rob or speculate.
She didn't go before because she didn't want to be noticed, but now there are fewer red armbands here, so it's not a big problem.
Zhao Guihua went home and called Liang Meifen, and then they went out together. But before leaving, she asked Aunt Wang to help her keep an eye on the house. His family would usually not leave anyone behind, but fortunately the three thieves had all gone to school.
It would be nice if they came back earlier.
Zhao Guihua was determined to come back before they finished school, so she called Liang Meifen. If she wanted to stay in the mountains longer, she wouldn't dare to do that.
It's really inconvenient to have a thief in this yard.
Liang Meifen: "Is my sister-in-law doing okay?"
Zhao Guihua: "Very good."
She said: "It's possible that Mingmei is pregnant with twins."
She gave everyone a heads-up in advance, saying, "It's not confirmed yet. Wait for a while before checking the pulse. Right now it's just a suspicion."
She changed the concept. It was obviously she who first brought it up, but when she said it this way, it felt like it was said by the doctor. Liang Meifen raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "It would be hard to be pregnant with two children."
Zhao Guihua nodded.
Liang Meifen didn't say anything. She touched her belly and wondered why she didn't get pregnant again. These two children were still too few. She worked hard to give birth to two children, and her sister-in-law took care of them all at once.
She felt a little uncomfortable.
She wanted to have a third child, but there was nothing she and her man could do to avoid it. They hadn't gotten pregnant in all these years... Mei-Fun Leung sighed.
Zhao Guihua: "What?"
Liang Meifen: "Mom, why haven't I gotten pregnant again in all these years?"
Zhao Guihua: "How would I know? If you're worried, go to the hospital and have a look."
Liang Meifen immediately shook her head: "What are you looking at? I've already given birth to two children. It's not like I can't have another one. You don't need to go to the hospital. Maybe it's not my destiny yet."
Nowadays, people are very reluctant to go to the hospital.
Zhao Guihua said nothing. No matter what she was thinking, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped talking and went up the mountain together. The speed was not slow. It has been a bit cloudy recently, but don't think it is still cloudy. In fact, it is not cool at all. On the contrary, it is stuffy because of the low air pressure.
Zhao Guihua and her friends didn't meet anyone on the way up the mountain. Generally speaking, no one would go up the mountain in such weather for fear of encountering heavy rain. They would not be trapped on the mountain, but getting caught in a heavy rain would never be worth it.
If I get sick, I don’t know if the little food I pick up on the mountain is enough to pay for medical treatment. So the mountain is very quiet.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at their destination. Zhao Guihua checked the small trap she had set before. Unexpectedly, there was actually a rabbit in it. She didn't know when it fell in. The rabbit had already eaten all the grass around the basket and was staggering with hunger.
Zhao Guihua tied up the rabbit without saying a word and put it in her backpack.
It would be great if we could have such a harvest every day, but such good things don't happen often.
Zhao Guihua: "Come, let's go fishing together. I tell you, in this kind of weather, we feel suffocated and the fish feel uncomfortable too. I had a great harvest last time in such weather."
Priscilla Leung: “Okay!”
Zhao Guihua: "Don't be greedy, we have to go back before school is over, come~"
The two of them worked quickly. Just as Zhao Guihua said, they had a good harvest. This kind of weather is always better than a sunny day for catching fish. Two people are also faster than one person, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law soon harvested a basket of fish.
Although there are big and small ones, the small one looks pretty good.
Zhao Guihua: "Let's grab one more basket and then we can go back."
Priscilla Leung: "I think it's OK."
The two of them were busy and their work was not slow, and they had a good harvest. In this kind of weather, most people would not want to go up the mountain. In fact, Zhao Guihua and the others were the same. However, since they were already up there, they decided to wait until they had a good harvest before leaving.
Gurgle gurgle!
Zhao Guihua's stomach growled, and Liang Meifen, as if to cooperate, also growled.
Zhao Guihua: "We are in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to bring dry food. You can grill two fish."
After a pause, she said, "Grill six. Let's eat first before we work."
Liang Meifen said happily: "Okay!"
What kind of family is this, eating fish all you can?
But this grilled fish is really delicious. I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring any salt, but even without salt, it is still delicious. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate it happily. Liang Meifen rubbed her stomach and said, "I think if I eat like this, my mouth will become picky."
Zhao Guihua smiled: "Then don't eat it."
Mei-Fun Leung: “Hehe.”
This is what she and Mingmei learned. If she can't convince her mother-in-law, she will just say "hehe". If that doesn't work, she will just say "hehehe". Anyway, she will just smile foolishly. Her mother-in-law usually won't pursue it. Well, it turned out to be true. Zhao Guihua didn't say anything else.
After eating, they went back to work and felt full of energy.
"Come on, come on!"
The two of them started working again, but they didn't know that someone saw the smoke coming out of their grilled fish.
A few guys went up the mountain and wandered around, but found nothing for the whole morning. They were all a little upset. They were sitting down to rest when suddenly one of them shouted, "Look, is that smoke? Someone has started a fire."
"Let me see. Oh, yes, it is."
"But how do you make a fire in the mountains? What if it catches fire? Are you crazy?"
"Let's go and take a look."
They immediately stood up, and one of them said, "In this weather, it's impossible that they are doing this to keep warm. They are just afraid that they will die of the heat. I think since they can make a fire on the mountain, they must be roasting something."
"right."
The astute boy then analyzed: "If the catch was small, we could just take it down the mountain and go home. Why do we have to go up the mountain? So I guess it's more than a little?"
"Ah, did anyone catch a wild boar, too?"
Since they caught the wild boar on this mountain, they have been going up the mountain almost every time they have free time. Going up the mountain to "hunt for treasure" is much more interesting than going to Houhai to fight. After thinking about this, several people hurried over there.
"Let's go and take a look!"
The road in this mountain is not easy to walk on, and they did not take the normal up-and-down mountain route, so they moved a lot slower.
They ran over here, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were lucky at that time. They caught another net, which was quite solid. After they checked, they found that it was almost full. Zhao Guihua looked at the sky and said, "One last net, and then we'll leave."
Priscilla Leung: “Okay.”
The two of them had done this a lot in recent days and were already experienced. They quickly brought up another net and finally filled the basket. Zhao Guihua looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, let's go down the mountain."
Liang Meifen went over and stepped on the bike again to make sure there would be no problem making a fire. Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pushed the bike down the mountain. Other families treated their bikes like treasures and rode them very carefully, wiping them meticulously every day for fear that the bikes would suffer the slightest "damage". But their family didn't care about that.
This bicycle was bought not long ago, but it looks quite old. Although I would clean it carefully every time I go back, their bicycles are used for a lot of work. Look, two baskets are tied to the left and right of the bicycle, and Leung Mei-fun pushes the bicycle very carefully.
Zhao Guihua was not idle either. She also carried a basket with a rabbit in it. When she encountered wild vegetables and fruits on the road, she took out the rabbit and tied it to the back seat, and threw the harvest into the basket. They walked slowly down the mountain. Not long after they walked, they heard the chattering of people, accompanied by footsteps. Zhao Guihua patted her head and thought that these young men were really energetic.
Zhao Guihua hesitated for a moment and said, "Old man's wife, don't go. Hide over there in the bushes."
She didn't want to meet these boys. If they saw how much they had caught, they would definitely ask where they came from. If she didn't tell them, she would definitely get entangled. Even if she did, these boys didn't bring any fishing tools, and if they insisted on borrowing the fishing net, they would probably get entangled too.
If they waited until they had used up all the fish before leaving, who knows how long they would have to wait. Moreover, they didn't have anything to hold the fish, so they might have to go down the mountain to find help. It would be good if they could go home at night. And if they went down the mountain together, they would not be able to hide the two baskets of fish they caught. It would be really troublesome and annoying if they were entangled.
If you lend it to them first, then wait for them to return it.
Zhao Guihua also felt bad. Their coming to her house was not a good thing. She had not thought about trying to build a relationship with them. Some relationships were useless. They were not from the same class. Moreover, they were all young boys, young and immature. It was hard to say whether she could return the money to them.
They bought this with their own money.
If these people who came here were not villagers who discovered the fish pond in their previous life, then Zhao Guihua would feel even more troubled. She knew it was not just one or two people. People were in trouble now, so this was a lot. If they were forced to leave the fish behind...
Therefore, among the Thirty-Six Strategies, hiding is the best one.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly hid. Zhao Guihua stared at the direction of the sound, while Liang Meifen was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe. She didn't know why she had to hide, but her mother-in-law was such a smart person, her decision would definitely not be wrong.
Neither of them spoke. Sure enough, as soon as they hid, they saw six or seven young boys coming from the other side. They were walking towards this side in the general direction of the smoke. In fact, the smoke had been extinguished a long time ago, but it didn't stop them from looking for it.
"Hey, we've been here before."
"Yes, the last time we were chasing rabbits. I remember Xiao Wuzi said there was a fishy smell here..."
"Hahahaha, the fart smells fishy. I said he was talking nonsense. I didn't smell it..."
"You never know, maybe there really is one. Let's go up the mountain."
"Okay, I think this is the direction."
"Hey, that's not right. Look, there are traces of someone walking here."
"Ah, yes, follow this well-trodden path, walk, walk, walk!"
Several people ran up the road.
Liang Meifen looked at Zhao Guihua, who said helplessly: "We can't keep this fish pond anymore."
Although I really made a profit in the past half year, I still feel sad when I think that I can no longer keep this fish pond.
Zhao Guihua: "What a great fish pond."
Priscilla Leung: "They, they shouldn't say anything, right? If we knew, wouldn't we be speechless?"
In fact, they all guessed that it was definitely not their family that discovered the fish pond. Some people who lived at the foot of the mountain and went up the mountain every day might have discovered it. It was not hidden and could not be seen at all. They might have known about it.
But no one talks about it. What would you do if you talked about it?
There were still a lot of fish in the pond, so those who knew about it would secretly catch them to enrich their own dining tables. There might also be people who caught fish like them and made salted fish to prepare for the winter. So Leung Mei-fun thought that maybe these people would not tell anyone even if they knew about it.
They can come later.
But Zhao Guihua shook her head firmly and said, "Don't think about it. It won't happen."
The two were about to leave when they suddenly heard cheers coming from the mountain.
"Ahhh! Holy shit!"
"Oh my god, there's a pond here."
"Ah, look, there must be someone fishing here. This side is all wet. Someone is catching fish here..."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"Brothers, let's catch some fish..."
In fact, the distance was not very close, but these people were too happy and shouted loudly, so much so that Zhao Guihua could hear what they said intermittently. She said, "Let's get down the mountain quickly."
Priscilla Leung: “???”
Zhao Guihua: "They are young and energetic. If they really caught a lot of fish, they would definitely show off and spread the news widely. We have nothing to do with it."
Miriam Leung: "Then spread it out..."
Zhao Guihua: "Why am I sighing otherwise? I don't think I'll have such a good thing in the future. Let's go now."
Zhao Guihua didn't know what to say. These people actually followed the path they had taken. But she felt sorry and felt that it was fate! After all, in her previous life, it was these guys who spread the word about the fish pond.
It seems that in this life, it is still them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law moved faster. They went down the mountain, rode their bikes leisurely, and headed towards the city.
Woohoo, what a great fish pond!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly rode down the mountain and finally got home in the evening. As soon as they entered the yard, they were stared at by Aunt Su...
