Chapter 185: Strength in Numbers
Before, in the provincial capital, I accidentally heard Jiang Mingyue’s college classmate mention Jiang Mingyue’s name.
He has been looking for her whereabouts.
But she had a car, so it was difficult for him to catch up with her and find her exact location.
He thought he would just watch Jiang Mingyue slip away from his sight. Unexpectedly, hard work pays off, and when he was about to despair, he finally found her.
Even God couldn't bear to see him live his life in such a shabby way!
A strange smile appeared at the corner of the man's lips, and he slowly followed.
One of him and Jiang Mingyue must go to hell.
If it wasn't her, then it was me.
Of course, he could accept it if both of them went to hell at the same time.
Inside the hospital.
The single room that Feng Yujun had booked in advance was now full of people from his family.
Jiang Meiyue was lying on the hospital bed, wearing a hat on her head and a faint smile on her face.
The newborn baby is held in the old lady's arms.
Surrounding them are Yaya, Manyue and Xinyue.
There is a smile on everyone's face.
"Yaya, come here to mommy." Jiang Meiyue called her daughter to the bedside and asked her with a smile if she was happy to have a younger brother.
“Happy!”
"I like my younger brother very much."
Yaya has no grudges.
"Many of my classmates don't have brothers or sisters. Yaya is luckier than them. Yaya has a brother."
Jiang Meiyue listened to her daughter's words, and she felt relieved.
"Yaya is so good."
Not long after, Jiang Mingyue also came to her eldest sister's ward with her two children.
Because Jiang Meiyue had just given birth, it might not be appropriate for a gay man to come in, so Gu Dongqing walked the mother and child to the corridor and did not enter the ward.
It wasn't because of any other considerations that he didn't come in, it was just because Jiang Meiyue might be breastfeeding, and as a man, it would be inappropriate for him to come in to visit.
Pei Che, who had brought the old lady and the others here earlier, also did not enter the ward.
Even though they are a family, they still pay attention to these things.
When Jiang Mingyue gave birth to her twins, Liu Fujuan and Zhao Tiezhu went to the hospital, but Zhao Tiezhu did not enter the ward.
This is almost the tacit rule here.
When Mu Mu and Duo Duo saw their younger brother, they came forward happily and curiously.
The two aunts who were originally surrounding the child naturally gave up their seats to the little babies at home.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the curious children with amusement and walked up to ask about her eldest sister's health.
I only know that she gave birth today, but I don't know how the process went.
I heard from the eldest sister that because the little one was bigger, the doctor did a side cut and Jiang Mingyue felt pain.
Her child was younger at that time, so even though she gave birth to one more child than her older sister, she did not suffer as much as her older sister.
"It's all thanks to your brother-in-law, who worked hard to nourish my body."
Jiang Meiyue said the words "disdain" but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Jiang Mingyue knew it very well. How could her elder sister be disrespectful? She was just showing off her good relationship with her brother-in-law!
After staying in the hospital for a while, they will go home.
Jiang Meiyue just gave birth to a child and needs to rest well.
Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Jiang Mingyue also needs to go back to buy some things needed for the New Year.
"Big sister, take good care of yourself. If nothing serious happens, you should be able to go home for the New Year."
"Um"
Jiang Meiyue said goodbye to her family and told Yaya to be good at home and not just think about playing, but to do her winter vacation homework.
The little girl, who was originally very happy, froze in smile when she heard about the winter vacation homework.
Obviously, she hasn't finished her homework!
The little girl who had always wanted to grow up quickly and become an adult was now very jealous of her younger brothers and sisters.
It was better when I was a kid, at least I never had any winter vacation or summer homework...
Seeing this, Jiang Mingyue smiled and took the little girl's hand, "It's okay, you can write it after the New Year."
"Really?" Yaya raised her head and looked at her second aunt sincerely.
Jiang Mingyue nodded, "Yes, ask your third aunt and your mother. We used to do our homework after the Chinese New Year."
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to finish their homework, but they had to help with housework the whole time.
It was not until after the Chinese New Year that I had time to stop and finish the homework left by my grandfather.
Yaya understood after listening.
The smile returned to his face.
He happily left the ward and went home, carrying his younger brother and sister.
Jiang Mingyue hadn't returned home yet, but she heard the sound of machines dismantling things from their house from a distance. She looked at the man driving in front of her with some suspicion.
"We went out for a while. Did someone come to demolish our house?"
Gu Dongqing kept the secret for a while and asked, "Guess who it is, wife?"
"I don't guess."
She was too lazy to bother thinking about it.
The little guys on both sides looked at their father, then at their mother, not knowing whether to guess or not.
The old lady sitting in the passenger seat laughed.
"Is it Dongzi and his men who called in to tear down the wall?"
"Grandma is still the smartest."
Gu Dongqing praised the old lady and made her laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.
"I was there when you were discussing this earlier, and you asked for my and your grandfather's opinions."
"If I don't know what they are doing, I am really old and confused."
It turned out that Gu Dongqing, Pei Che, and Feng Yujun had discussed that the family should live in three separate houses.
There is really no need to have troublesome walls between yards.
Therefore, the three men decided to tear down the walls in the middle of the three front yards.
In this way, the three yards can be connected into one big one, and the children will have more space to play in the yard.
Madam, if grandpa doesn't want to go out for a walk, he can just walk in the yard.
The decision has been made, and we’ll start work today.
Why did they choose to start construction today? Of course, it was because Jiang Meiyue gave birth to a child.
They have a saying here that if there is a pregnant woman at home, you cannot do home renovations because it will be bad for the child.
Although there is no scientific basis for this, the elderly believe in it and the younger generation should naturally follow it.
So the date they originally set was to start construction at home immediately after Jiang Meiyue gave birth.
Some people say that the demolition is just around the corner before the Chinese New Year. Is that too slow? Are they still working during the Chinese New Year?
Those who think this way need not worry at all.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and these people were from their construction company. A dozen workers came with machines and only had to demolish the four walls in the middle, and they did it very quickly.
Just as Jiang Mingyue got out of the car, she saw that the workers had already dismantled the wall and were carrying out the dismantled concrete bricks.
With strength in numbers, it took less than an hour to load all the broken bricks of the wall into the earth-moving truck outside.
The truck took the rubble away, and the workers stayed to patch the floor and the outermost wall, which had a gap of about one meter in the middle facing the main road.
