Lu Qingyan smiled and gently pinched the tip of his nose, asking, "Qiqi, are you so happy?"
The little guy proudly raised his chin: "Of course, several of my classmates have younger brothers and sisters. I've been to their homes, and the brothers aren't well-behaved at all; the sisters are much cuter."
Everyone was amused by Jin Qi's words, and the old lady chimed in to tease him, "You like your little sister so much, what if it's a little brother? Wouldn't you like him then?"
Jin Qi's eyes and eyebrows were almost furrowed together. After a long while, he managed to say, "I would like a younger brother too, but my mother is so amazing, she will definitely have a little sister!"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Jin blushed with embarrassment.
As Lu Qingyan listened to their laughter and conversation, she gradually learned that Sister-in-law Jin was already more than three months pregnant. Sister-in-law Jin's menstrual cycle was not very regular to begin with, and it was unusual that she hadn't had her period for two months. So she went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant.
Lu Qingyan calculated the dates and found that her due date was during the summer vacation. If she returned later, she might even be able to see her baby.
Jin Ye leaned closer to himself and joked, "Looks like we're going to have another nephew."
Lu Qingyan smiled. It was just as he said. She and he were now of the same generation. Jin Qi even called her Auntie. If the little guy had another sister, she would have another nephew.
Lu Qingyan was also very happy about this.
After all, Sun Fu and her mother only had her as their daughter, so she could never be an aunt in her life.
Thinking of Sun Fu, the smile on her face faded a little.
Seeing Lu Qingyan's expression change, Jin Ye asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingyan forced a smile: "I'm fine, I just remembered the unpleasant things at home."
"Did they cause you any trouble?" Jin Ye asked, wondering if he should cause some more trouble for those people, as keeping an eye on Lu Qingyan was just too much of a hassle.
Lu Qingyan immediately saw what he was thinking and stopped him, saying, "No need. This time I'll make things clear to them. As long as I return the dowry money my father received, they won't keep bothering me anymore."
"So...do you have enough money?"
“Teacher Jin!” Lu Qingyan said, “They didn’t specify when they would pay me back, so I can earn that money back myself.”
Jin Ye smiled and said nothing more, clearly believing Lu Qingyan's explanation.
Soon it was time to return to school, and Lu Qingyan once again troubled Teacher Jin to take her there.
At first, I was a little embarrassed to keep bothering him, but I gradually became more thick-skinned. Anyway, I already owed Teacher Jin a lot, so what's a little more? It's better to have more debts than more burdens.
I've lived here for so long, it wouldn't be right if I left without saying goodbye, would it?
I called Jin Ye. Although high school started early, it happened to be a Sunday, and Jin Ye wasn't very busy.
Lu Qingyan looked at the clean and tidy room in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.
Hmm, it looks pretty good already. I don't think Teacher Jin will mind when she sees it.
As expected, when Jin Ye arrived, he saw that Lu Qingyan had tidied everything up. He walked around the room a few times and nodded, "It's not bad."
Of course, by his own standards, she might still fall a little short. But for Lu Qingyan, he reluctantly lowered his expectations.
