Before going to bed that night, Qin Hanshu discussed this matter with Zhou Weiguang.
Zhou Weiguang thought for a moment and said, "It's not good to give her the money directly. Even if we did, she definitely wouldn't want it."
Qin Hanshu thought so too, "I plan to give her things directly, such as meat, vegetables, eggs, milk powder, and biscuits, so that she won't suffer any losses."
Zhou Weiguang nodded, "Okay, you handle it."
Qin Hanshu touched her stomach and sighed.
Zhou Weiguang put his arm around her and said gently, "What's wrong? You seem so down."
Qin Hanshu said, "I feel sorry for the child. He was born and I have to leave him to be raised by others."
Zhou Weiguang said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise... why don't you just quit your job?"
Qin Hanshu was silent for a while, then slowly shook her head. "You still owe Director Qi a favor for this job. You can't just quit like that. You can't be so frivolous."
Being a housewife means that besides taking care of the children and doing housework, you also have to gossip about other people in the building.
Zhou Weiguang knew that Qin Hanshu definitely didn't want to live like this.
He comforted her, saying, "Then think positively. All working women are the same. They have to go back to work after their postpartum period. So many children are still growing up perfectly fine, aren't they?"
To cheer Qin Hanshu up, Zhou Weiguang told her an amusing story.
"Do you remember Wang Xiaogang? A couple of years ago, when he went home to visit his family, he met a girl on the train and fell for her right away, but he was too shy to ask for her address and name."
"Later, seeing that the girl got off the train halfway, he mustered up his courage and stuck his head out of the window to call her back."
"The girl probably liked him a bit too, and shyly told him her workplace and name. But this guy was too dense; he was too busy looking at the girl to hear what she was saying."
Qin Hanshu said, "That happened two years ago, there must be a sequel?"
Zhou Weiguang nodded with a smile.
"He vaguely heard the girl say that her name was Li Yuanjun and that she was an electrician at the textile factory in xx county. But he thought he had misheard. How could a girl be named Li Yuanjun? And an electrician at that? He figured it out himself. It shouldn't be Li Yuanjun, but Li Yuanjun, and not an electrician at the textile factory, but a worker at the power plant."
"After he returned, he tried writing to the power plant in xx county, and they actually received it."
Qin Hanshu thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely not that simple, the person is definitely not right!"
“My wife is so smart.” Zhou Weiguang kissed Qin Hanshu’s cheek and continued, “Wang Xiaogang started corresponding with that Li Yuanjun. They corresponded for two years. He thought their relationship was strong enough, so he proposed marriage. But Li Yuanjun never replied to his letters again.”
“In the past two years, Wang Xiaogang has not only invested his emotions, but also a lot of money. He bought Li Yuanjun two sets of clothes and a watch. When Li Yuanjun said that her mother was sick, he also wired her thirty yuan.”
"Huh?" Qin Hanshu frowned. "This silly child, he's put away two years' worth of income."
Zhou Weiguang sighed, "Yes, when he saw that the other party didn't reply, he went to XX County and found Li Yuanjun at the power plant, only to find that the other party was not the girl on the train at all... not even a girl! But a burly man who was taller and had a stubble beard than him."
Qin Hanshu: "......."
Zhou Weiguang: "He also went to the textile factory and found the girl from the train. Her name was Li Yuanjun, and she was an electrician. Unfortunately, she was already married."
Qin Hanshu: "......."
Zhou Weiguang: "Wang Xiaogang's story of corresponding with a strong man for two years has spread throughout the entire camp, and everyone who sees him makes a joke about it."
Zhou Weiguang thought Qin Hanshu would joke around with a smile like everyone else, but when he looked down, there wasn't a trace of a smile on Qin Hanshu's face.
She murmured, "Fate is so cruel. How could there just happen to be a Li Yuanjun at the power plant? If this person hadn't deceived him, Wang Xiaogang might have been able to find the real Li Yuanjun. You can't even make up a story with such a coincidence."
Qin Hanshu raised her head and looked at Zhou Weiguang disapprovingly, "Wang Xiaogang is already in such a miserable state, and you still want to laugh at him?"
“Uh…” Zhou Weiguang quickly clarified, “They were the ones mocking me. I really sympathize with Xiao Wang! I was even planning to invite him over for a meal to comfort him.”
Qin Hanshu nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it tomorrow. I'll be home right now, and I'll cook him something delicious."
Zhou Weiguang shook his head, "Your belly is so big, you shouldn't overwork yourself. I'll go back early tomorrow and I'll do it."
Qin Hanshu nodded and bought some good food the next day to prepare in advance.
Zhou Weiguang returned around 5 p.m. and went straight into the kitchen.
Qin Hanshu couldn't help either. She saw that the early-season corn had come to market at the cooperative today, so she bought a lot. She set aside some to send to Liu Ercui.
Just as I was about to knock, the door opened from the inside.
The eldest son of the Zhang family was crying so hard his face was covered in tears and snot. Upon seeing Qin Hanshu, he wailed, "Aunt Qin, my mom's dying—!"
Qin Hanshu was shocked. "What's wrong? What happened?"
The sound of Liu Ercui's painful cries could be heard from inside.
As Qin Hanshu went into the house, she asked Zhang's eldest son, "What exactly happened to your mother?"
The eldest son of the Zhang family was crying so hard he could barely breathe, but he could still speak clearly.
"My mom, my mom fell! Waaaaah, it's all Yue's fault. She wanted to steal the White Rabbit candy from the cupboard, so she stood on a stool to open the cupboard door."
"I stepped on the stool and it tipped over, not only did I fall, but it also crushed my mom underneath! Waaaaah, Aunt Qin, what am I going to do? I don't want my mom to die—"
Qin Hanshu glanced at Yue'er, who was huddled in the corner. The little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to move.
She glanced at it briefly before looking away and hurried toward Liu Ercui in the bedroom.
Qin Hanshu was stunned by the scene before her.
Liu Ercui was squatting on the ground, leaning against the bed with a cloth underneath her, as if she were... giving birth.
