It was three days later that Ran Yingying met Ou Xi's cousin He Hua.
That day, she was playing skipping rope downstairs with a group of other kids.
She hadn't played this game for a long time. In her previous life, she often played rubber band jumping with her classmates. After traveling through time, she almost never played it.
In fact, after crossing over to the world of immortal cultivation, she never played any games and focused entirely on cultivation.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the strong are respected. If you don't have kung fu, you will be preyed upon by the weak.
After returning here, she no longer needs to be forced to practice, and practice is just a conditioning.
She can have fun and have a real childhood, a happy childhood.
When the lotus entered the community, Ran Yingying didn't notice it at first.
It's normal for people to come and go in the community. With so many military families, it's normal for one or two relatives to come.
What really caught her attention was her brother's eyes.
She noticed that there was something wrong with her brother's eyes, and then she realized that Lotus came here with Ou Xi and Lu Mingjiang.
This suddenly reminded her of what Lou Mingjiang had suddenly said a few days ago: Zhai Hong, congratulations, you will soon have a stepmother.
It was this sentence that made her and her brother hate their neighbor for a long time.
But at this time, who is the woman standing next to Ou Xi and Lou Mingjiang?
She couldn't help but think of the candidate for "stepmother". Could it be this person?
Ran Yingying couldn't help but look at this woman named Hehua. Well... I have to say, she is quite pretty.
It is the kind of beauty that you can't forget once you see it.
Ran Yingying couldn't help but take a few more glances. When the lotus and Ou Xi stood together, one was the sky and the other was the earth. There was such a huge difference between them.
Because of the background of Ou Xi, the lotus looks even more beautiful.
"Brother, that woman is very beautiful." Ran Yingying couldn't help but say.
Zhai Hong just glanced at her calmly and said, "Not pretty."
Ran Yingying said: "I think she is very beautiful, and she looks like a movie star."
She is indeed very beautiful. In this age when there is a lack of cosmetics, it is not easy to have such facial features and looks.
If everyone wore makeup in later generations, how beautiful would this sister-in-law named Lotus be?
She suddenly understood why Ou Xi was so eager to introduce him to Zhai's father.
She's so pretty, Aunt Ou Xi must think that Father Zhai will like her, right?
After all, men like pretty girls, and this lotus is so beautiful.
"Not beautiful." Zhai Hong repeated.
Ran Yingying laughed. Her brother was still young and might not know what was good-looking and what was ugly, right?
After all, my brother is only seven years old, how could he know so much?
Zhai Hong continued, "She is not as pretty as my mother, not as pretty as Ran's mother, and certainly not as pretty as my sister. She is far behind you all."
Ran Yingying was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
Brother, are you praising her?
How old is she? She is less than three years old. How can we tell whether she is pretty or not? At most, she is cute, right?
Unlike the lotus, the charm of a mature woman and her beauty that is coveted by men, how can it be compared?
Zhai Hong said: "When her younger sister grew up, she was more than a hundred times prettier than her. She couldn't even compare to her younger sister by a hair."
He said it very seriously, without a trace of falsehood in his eyes.
Ran Yingying smiled even sweeter and found that what her brother said really sounded like a love talk.
My brother is still young, so he doesn't understand love words, right? But she likes it.
What girl doesn't like to hear others praise her? Even if she is still young, she is mature in mind.
"Brother, is that the person you want to introduce to Dad Zhai?" Ran Yingying turned her head and looked at Zhai Hong.
Zhai Hong pursed his lips and said after a long time: "My father doesn't look for a partner." After that, he went upstairs silently and stopped playing the game.
Ran Yingying realized belatedly that her brother's expression was not right, so she chased him and shouted, "Brother, wait for me."
Zhai Hong paused, but did not stop, but his pace was obviously much slower.
Ran Yingying chased after him, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. This woman is not worthy of Father Zhai."
Zhai Hong nodded, "Hmm," "She doesn't deserve it."
Ran Yingying said, "Yes, she is not worthy at all. She is pretty, but she is as pretty as a vase and not suitable for Father Zhai."
The expression on Zhai Hong's face became much better. "You are absolutely right. She is just a vase."
Ran Yingying stretched out her claws and gently hooked Zhai Hong's fingers.
"Brother." she shouted.
Zhai Hong had already opened his hands and wrapped her little hand in his palm, "Let's go, Mommy Ran should have prepared dinner."
Ran Yingying smiled: "Well, let's go eat."
They didn't want to be bothered by those things for the time being, especially Zhai Hong, who didn't want to think about those things at all.
What the neighbors think is none of their business.
All they need to know is that the woman named Lotus cannot possibly enter the Zhai family.
However, their good mood was not good at all after they saw the woman who appeared in the house.
Zhai Hong stared at the woman sitting on the sofa. Wasn't this the woman named Lotus? They had just seen her downstairs before. How come she appeared at the Ran family in the blink of an eye?
Isn't she going back to her own home? Shouldn't she be across the street?
Zhai Hong felt that he was in a bad mood.
He clenched his hands tightly, pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on the woman and Ou Xi beside the woman.
"Oh, Zhai Hong is back." Ou Xi, who was standing next to the lotus, saw Zhai Hong and Ran Yingying coming in from outside and hurriedly greeted them.
The lotus also stood up and looked at Zhai Hong.
The boy was frowning at this moment, and seemed quite unhappy.
Ran Yingying said, "Mom, who is she?" She asked even though she knew the answer.
How could she not know who the woman standing next to Ou Xi was? They just met each other, but Ran Yingying just wanted to ask.
She could sense that her brother was in a bad mood, as he clenched his fists tightly. She felt heartbroken seeing the way he looked.
My brother has lost his biological mother, and now there is a woman who covets his biological father. How can he be in a good mood?
Even if this woman kept looking at him and smiling, my brother wouldn't feel any better.
So, as her brother's most caring sister, she took on the role of the troublemaker.
She has to play one of the roles, the good cop or the bad cop, right?
Even if she has to play the villain, it's fine as long as her brother is happy.
"This is your aunt Ou's cousin, you can just call her aunt." No matter how unhappy Mi Yuehua was in her heart, she had to smile at this moment.
Mi Yuehua didn't understand. What was wrong with Ou Xi? It seemed that the relationship between their two families was not that good. Suddenly, Ou Xi took the person to her house before he even entered his own house?
What does it mean?
But no matter how unhappy she was, she still had to show some basic etiquette. Mi Yuehua did not frown on the spot and still entertained the two of them well.
"Oh, you are Aunt Ou's cousin? I heard that you are divorced? Do you want to come over and be someone's stepmother?" Ran Yingying spoke in a childish tone, and her words were full of curiosity, but to Hehua's ears, it always felt wrong.
Does it seem like there is a hint of sarcasm?
He Hua couldn't help but take another look at Ran Yingying. The little girl in front of her blinked her big eyes, her face full of curiosity, and there didn't seem to be any mockery.
She shook her head, she was a little suspicious, the girl in front of her was only two or three years old, what did she know?
"Auntie likes children." Lotus said with a smile, wanting to give the child the most beautiful smile.
Ran Yingying said, "Oh, you like children, no wonder Lou Mingjiang said that you are going to be his stepmother." The child thought about it very seriously, "But Aunt Ou, do you mind?"
Ou Xi was originally listening to Ran Yingying and Hehua talking with a smile on his face. He thought Hehua was really good at pleasing children. How much fun was she having chatting with Yingying?
But the next moment, what Ran Yingying said made her heart blocked.
What does it mean to be Luo Mingjiang's stepmother? When will He Hua become her son's stepmother? She is still here, she is not dead yet.
But seeing Ran Yingying's serious expression, it was obvious that she didn't mean to be sarcastic.
She was a little angry with Mi Yuehua. How did she teach the child?
How could you let your child say such things?
Ou Xi's face sank and turned ashen.
Lotus was also frightened by Ran Yingying's words.
She was clearly planning to talk to Captain Zhai about finding a date, but in the child's mouth, it became like she was planning to date her cousin's husband...
She looked at her cousin quietly, but saw that her cousin's face was not looking good and her eyes were almost spewing flames.
She cried out in her heart, Oh no!
"Yingying, what are you talking about? Your uncle Lou already has a wife, how could he be dating someone?" Mi Yuehua scolded Ran Yingying.
But in her heart she found it funny that her daughter's childish talk had interrupted the matter. Then there would probably be a quarrel in the Lou family, and they would not focus their attention on the Zhai family.
"Yes, Yingying, married people can't talk about their partners anymore." Lotus forced a smile.
Ran Yingying lowered her head, seeming to be thinking: "Oh, is that so? Then why did Lou Mingjiang say there would be a stepmother? Did I hear it wrong?" The young man looked very distressed, and these words made the two of them look even darker.
"But... Mr. Zhai is married, why would anyone want to introduce him to someone?" Ran Yingying asked them naively.
Ou Xi said: "Because your father Zhai is divorced, you can still talk about your partner."
No matter how upset she was, she couldn't just abandon the lotus and run away.
She had introduced Lotus to Captain Zhai as his wife. If she ran away now, all her efforts would be wasted, and it would also make people suspicious.
However, there was indeed a thorn in her heart.
She wanted to run home right now to ask her son what was going on.
"Oh, so you can get a divorce after you get married." Ran Yingying seemed to be thinking, "But Mr. Zhai didn't get a divorce."
There is no divorce!
No leaving!
no!
Ou Xi's face fell a little bit, and she looked at Mi Yuehua in disbelief: "Sister Yuehua, Captain Zhai hasn't divorced yet?"
Mi Yuehua nodded: "Yes, he is not divorced. He has never been divorced."
Ou Xi asked again: "Then Zhai Hong's mother is dead?"
Zhai Hong said angrily: "You are the one who died!" His mother was still alive and well, but was cursed to death. He felt very uncomfortable.
Even though his mother was a bad person and abandoned him when he was young, a mother is still a mother, and he only has one mother in his life.
Ou Xi was stunned.
Mi Yuehua said, "Ah Hong's mother is not dead, and Jianguo and her are not divorced. As for the reason, I am not in a position to tell you. Sister Ou, I don't know where you got the news that Jianguo is divorced, but I am telling you very clearly here that they are not divorced. So, you don't need to introduce a partner to Jianguo. I am very sorry."
She declined Ou Xi.
Ou Xi hasn't come to his senses yet. Hasn't he divorced yet?
How is this possible? They are not divorced. How come I haven't met Zhai Hong's mother in more than two years?
She had clearly heard that Captain Zhai had no wife. Could it be that the Ran family had lied to her?
Is the reason that you don't want her to introduce someone to Captain Zhai?
It must be true. Judging from Zhai Hong’s look, he really doesn’t like his father’s remarriage, so he formed a partnership with the Ran family and told a lie?
It must be like this.
Ou Xi found a reason and convinced himself.
He Hua was also very embarrassed at this time. First, she was asked those questions by a little child in person, and then she was rejected by Mi Yuehua in person.
Although she was divorced once, her conditions were not bad. She was pretty and had never given birth to a child. With these conditions, she could always pick a good one no matter how she chose.
If the conditions of the people in her family were not bad, she would not have been divorced for three years without finding a good partner.
Her cousin told her that she would help her find a military officer, and she agreed. Being a military officer is so good, eating state food, and living a comfortable life. Don't look at others, just look at her cousin, how comfortable is her life?
My cousin is a rural woman. She has a low level of education and has only attended primary school. She is not good-looking. But who in the village dares to look down on her just because her husband is a deputy head of the group?
As for herself? She was a city resident with a junior high school education. If she hadn't been blind and married a scoundrel like her ex-husband, she wouldn't have suffered so much.
She could obviously marry a better man, but he wouldn't be worse than her cousin, right?
Back then, Mingming's family introduced her to a very outstanding man, who was also a soldier. However, he never came back. It was said that he was killed by a bomb during the war.
Later, her reputation was ruined because of this incident, so she married her ex-husband.
My ex-husband's family was well off, he had a city hukou, and worked in a factory. He should have lived a good life. But he was a gambler and a drinker, and he loved to beat people when he was drunk.
She once had a child, but her ex-husband beat her to death. She finally got divorced, but she couldn't find a better man.
She is almost disappointed. She is already thirty years old. Can she wait any longer?
Some of them could not wait any longer. Unexpectedly, her cousin gave her hope, saying that a military officer was divorced and left behind a son with very good conditions and a very bright future, and asked her if she was willing.
How could she not be willing? He was a military officer, what a good offer.
What is there to be afraid of when you have a son? Children are the easiest to coax. As long as she coaxes the child, that is her world.
Besides, she is so beautiful, why would she be afraid that men would not like her? She has the confidence that she can definitely charm people. She can control adults and children.
So she agreed and decided to go over with her cousin to take a look.
When she walked into the family area, she was stunned.
Outside the family area, there was a sentry, checking this and that, and at one point she almost couldn't enter the community.
Later, she was allowed in after she mentioned her cousin's husband's name, but all her information had to be registered before she could enter the door.
At that time, she thought to herself that she must live here in the future. It was such a high-end and classy place, and she must become a part of it.
In the neighborhood, she saw many soldiers in military uniforms, some with two pockets and some with four pockets. They looked so heroic and handsome in their uniforms.
She became more convinced of this idea.
After entering the Ran family's house and seeing the furnishings inside, she became even more envious.
I heard that Mi Yuehua's husband was a battalion officer, but Mi Yuehua looked so young, so her husband should be young too. How could he be a battalion commander at such a young age?
She remembered that her cousin's husband didn't become the battalion commander until he was 38 years old, and later became the deputy regiment commander. But he had been the deputy regiment commander for several years and had not been promoted. But from what her cousin said, Mi Yuehua's husband was about to be promoted?
She was envious and jealous. They were both women, so why were they so different?
She thought she was prettier than Mi Yuehua, but her fate was so miserable. First her fiancé died, and then she married a husband who turned out to be a domestic violence man.
Thinking about it again, she could marry a military officer soon. I heard that Zhai Jianguo was very young, only 27 years old, and he was already a company commander. His future was indeed very good.
Maybe, I can be promoted to deputy battalion commander or something at the age of 30.
When she thought of this, she became energetic.
But what is going on?
When she was full of hope, she was told that Captain Zhai was not divorced yet?
Why did you call her over? Is it embarrassing?
At this moment, Lotus was shy, annoyed and angry.
But she couldn't blame her cousin, because her cousin introduced her to this person for her own good.
I just didn't find out clearly.
"Sister Yuehua, I called my cousin here because I heard that Captain Zhai is planning to divorce. It doesn't matter if he's not divorced now, won't he get divorced eventually? Let my cousin get in touch with Captain Zhai first. If they both think it's a good match, my cousin can wait until he gets divorced." Ou Xi couldn't help but say.
When these words were spoken, both the Ran family and the Zhai family were stunned.
I didn't expect that Ou Xi had such a strange outlook on life?
Not divorced yet, but having sex first? Is this to be a mistress? Ran Yingying was shocked by Ou Xi's peculiar outlook on life.
She really didn't expect that there would be someone who would come to her house to be a mistress.
Is it true that Auntie Ou’s way of thinking is different from others?
"Auntie, Mr. Zhai hasn't divorced yet. It's unknown whether he will get divorced. Are you going to let this aunt be your mistress?" Ran Yingying asked in a baby voice.
In that era, there was no such word as "mistress", so they didn't understand it at first.
At this time, Zhai Hong spoke: "Get out!" The simple word "get out" expressed his endless anger.
He hadn't said a word before, no matter how Ran Yingying chatted with the family next door, or how Mi Yuehua responded to Jue Ouxi.
But at this moment, he finally couldn't help it.
Ou Xi said: "Zhai Hong, you..."
Zhai Hong said: "My father will not marry this aunt, not now and not in the future. My mother only has one, and she will not accept anyone else."
Ou Xi said, "Zhai Hong, you are still young and don't understand. Adult matters are complicated. When your father gets divorced, he will definitely get married. Even if you don't want to accept it, that is the fact."
"Get lost, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhai Hong gritted his teeth, "Whether my father will divorce my mother is none of your business. If you feel sorry for your cousin, then bring your cousin into your family and make her Lou Mingjiang's stepmother."
Ou Xi was angry: "You kid, are you talking like a human being? Lao Luo and I are fine, are you cursing us?"
"I'm saying this to you. Are the words coming out of your mouth real human words? You are not welcome here. Get out of here now!" Zhai Hong's eyes were red, and he was extremely angry.
Ou Xi wanted to talk to him, but then he heard Mi Yuehua say, "Sister Ou, please leave. The Ran family doesn't welcome you."
"Sister Yuehua..." Ou Xi was stunned.
Mi Yuehua said: "I have tolerated you enough, don't come to my house again in the future!"
What's the point of having good neighborly relations? Mi Yuehua was angry at this moment and didn't want to maintain this neighborly relationship anymore.
This Ou Xi is so straightforward, doesn't he understand what people are saying?
They had already talked to this point, but she was still talking to herself.
And he even acted like he could accept the fact that Jianguo was not divorced, and that they could get along first and then wait for Jianguo to get divorced? How could he say such a disgusting thing?
She was not willing to maintain a friendly neighborly relationship with such a family.
If possible, she would like to move out and find another house. She doesn't want to be neighbors with Ou Xi.
Mi Yuehua pushed the person out without saying a word!
…
At the same time, Ran Xiasheng approached Deputy Head Lou.
With a bang, Ran Xiasheng kicked open the door of Deputy Head Lou's office.
He stood at the door like a door god, his whole body filled with rage.
"Mr. Luo, you are going too far!"
The author has something to say: Ran Yingying: It turns out that we can’t hold out hope for the Lou family.
