Gu Shi would only despise these people even more, and with a sneer, he let them go.
In fact, Lin Qingyu had also discussed this with him. If the people of Pear Blossom Village came to cry their woes, they might be able to soften their hearts and help them out.
I don't know what these people are thinking, begging others for favors and acting all high and mighty.
Only someone with a screw loose would offer help!
Fortunately, Gu Shi's approach was effective; aside from the possibility of being criticized, life returned to normal.
That day, Lin Qingyu was home alone. She was eating a cucumber while flipping through an indescribable book.
Suddenly she heard someone knocking on the door. She was hesitant to open it, so she didn't make a sound at first.
But the person knocking was quite patient, as if they knew someone was home, and knocked a few more times.
Then she spoke up, asking, "Is Qingyu home? This is Lili!"
Oh, it's Wu Lili!
Lin Qingyu walked over lazily, opened the inner gate first, and spoke to Wu Lili through an iron gate.
"What brings you here, Wu Zhiqing? I remember you were quite busy, weren't you?"
Wu Lili said with a smile, "I heard you were pregnant, so I finally had some time off today and thought I'd come and see you!"
Lin Qingyu didn't want to open the door for her, so she laughed it off: "I'm fine, Wu Zhiqing, you should go home and rest!"
"No, Qingyu, I brought you a gift. Let's go inside and talk!"
Wu Lili insisted on coming in, and after thinking about it, Lin Qingyu decided to let her in.
I don't know how someone develops such a thick skin. If Lin Qingyu encountered such a situation, she probably would never speak to that person again in her life.
"Please sit down."
Even a curt remark could elicit a very polite thank you from Wu Lili.
"Okay, okay, Qingyu, please sit down first, no need to bother!"
Lin Qingyu plopped down without even pouring herself a glass of water.
But Wu Lili didn't know when to back down! She even happily took out the paper bag she was carrying.
"Qingyu, this is what I bought for the child. I don't know if it's suitable!"
Lin Qingyu looked and saw that she was holding a gift box containing a small set of clothes, which was yellow.
"No need, it's not necessary."
"Qingyu, we've lived together for a year, why is there no need for that!"
Wu Lili smiled ingratiatingly and even took the initiative to open the dress, which was printed with several little sheep.
"Look, this isn't bad, is it?"
Lin Qingyu had no idea what Wu Lili was trying to do. She just found her annoying and thought she shouldn't have let her in in the first place.
"It's nice, it's nice. I appreciate the thought, but you should take it back. It's not easy for you to earn money at work."
Lin Qingyu just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so she gave a perfunctory reply.
Wu Lili held the clothes and kept pushing them towards her, saying, "No, Qingyu, look how pretty these clothes are! The baby will look so beautiful wearing them when he/she is born!"
What exactly do you want to do?
Lin Qingyu questioned her, saying that she really didn't even want to put on a show.
"I just wanted to buy your child a piece of clothing. Look how nice this is, Qingyu!"
Lin Qingyu remained silent, simply sitting on the sofa and watching her.
"Okay, okay! Actually, I just wanted to borrow your bicycle. My bike is broken and won't be fixed anytime soon, and I need to ride it to work..."
Why should I lend it to you?
Wu Lili froze, opened her mouth, and said awkwardly, "I thought you didn't mind what happened before..."
"You should leave now! Let's not have anything to do with each other anymore. It's better if we just stay out of each other's way!"
Lin Qingyu waved her hand impatiently, clearly trying to shoo him away.
Wu Lili could only stand up, but she still forced the clothes on Lin Qingyu.
"You should put this dress away. I asked my colleagues in the maternity ward at the hospital, and they all said that this kind of dress is good. Remember to make sure the baby wears it when he/she is born!"
She was being pushed towards the door, and she didn't forget to give Lin Qingyu some instructions.
It was as if she were a good friend who cared deeply for Lin Qingyu, while Lin Qingyu was an ungrateful wretch.
After that, Lin Qingyu closed the door without saying a word and spat out a "Pah!"
"Why can't I learn my lesson? Why do I make things so difficult for myself!"
When she got back and saw the clothes on the sofa, Lin Qingyu rolled her eyes, picked them up, and prepared to find a place to stuff them inside.
Then I smelled a faint fragrance.
It's the kind of incense used for grave sweeping and ancestor worship. I don't know where Wu Lili went, but she got all this strange stuff on her.
"What bad luck!"
Lin Qingyu found a paper bag, put it in, and threw it in the corner. Then, afraid she would forget, she put it by the door.
When Gu Shi returned home, he saw Lin Qingyu staring intently at the door.
"What's wrong? You miss me so much!"
He walked over with a grin and hugged Lin Qingyu. Now he was too afraid to hug her too tightly, for fear of pressing on her stomach.
"Oh my, you're so narcissistic!"
Lin Qingyu nudged him, but she was indeed quite happy to see Gu Shi.
She then recounted what had happened that day, and mentioned the scent on her clothes.
"What does this smell like? Where did Wu Lili get it? Why did she insist on giving me this dress?"
"If you don't like it, just throw it away. Don't worry about anything else!"
Lin Qingyu was still thinking that this was indeed not good and she didn't know whether she should throw it away or not. But after hearing what Gu Shi said, it didn't seem so bad.
"Then throw it further away, I'm annoyed just looking at this dress!"
Gu Shi smiled and touched Lin Qingyu's hair, which wasn't very curly anymore.
"Your hair is so long, do you need to cut it? It will be very hot during your postpartum period, and I'm worried you'll feel uncomfortable."
Lin Qingyu thought about it and realized that it made sense!
"That's true. I'll go get it cut short then, it'll be more comfortable then!"
The next day, Gu Shi accompanied Lin Qingyu to the barbershop and got her a clean and refreshing short haircut.
It's over the shoulder, so it's easy to tie up.
"It's not ugly, is it?"
Lin Qingyu touched her short hair, still feeling a little unaccustomed to it; it had been so long since she had cut her hair this short.
"It's not ugly at all, I'm serious, you'll get used to it after a few days!"
Gu Shi looked at her with doting eyes. The people at the hair salon were used to it; the two of them were like that last time.
So what's it like to be rich and faithful?
Lin Qingyu couldn't answer the question because Gu Shi had taken her out to eat something delicious again.
"You haven't been eating well these past few days, so let me treat you to something nice. Xiao Bao said it's okay to eat like this once in a while, so don't worry about it!"
Gu Shi felt sorry for her, as she had been eating vegetarian food at home these past few days and dared not eat much meat.
Since I'm not busy today, I'll treat her to something nice to satisfy her craving.
Lin Qingyu swallowed hard and followed Gu Shi into a state-run restaurant.
"I'm tired of the food at home, so I came here to try the chef's cooking and have a change of pace."
"You're right, I really can't eat the food at home!"
Lin Qingyu's mouth was practically watering as she stared at the meat on other people's tables.
