Grandpa Lu sighed, "Ye Zhiguo treated Yali quite well, but Yali herself was unlucky and didn't get to enjoy the good fortune!"
Who would have thought that Xu Yali would suffer severe bleeding during childbirth!
When he arrived after receiving the news, Xu Yali was already dead. Qingqing was clinging tightly to the body and wouldn't let go. Ye Tong was thin and small, and her cries were weaker than a cat's meow.
well!
Lin Shufang's eyes reddened. "It's all so sudden. I accompanied Yali to several prenatal checkups, and they all said there was no problem. They even said Yali is in good health, and since it's her second pregnancy, she'll definitely have a smooth delivery. If we had known earlier that Xiaotong's baby was breech, we would have had Yali have a C-section..."
Lu Mo's heart skipped a beat, "Aunt Xu's prenatal checkup was all normal?"
"Yes, the prenatal checkup was all fine. Sigh... You can't predict anything when a woman has a baby. Your Aunt Xu isn't very lucky!"
Lin Shufang sighed repeatedly. Although she found it strange, she had no doubts. Childbirth is a life-or-death situation for women; a perfectly healthy person can suddenly die. Xu Yali's condition was perfectly normal.
If the King of Hell decrees your death at midnight, you will not live past dawn.
It's just a pity for Qingqing and Xiaotong!
Grandpa Lu sighed, "Fortunately, Ye Zhiguo is a man of integrity and kindness. He didn't mistreat Qingqing. As for Xiaotong, I'll have to talk to him about it later."
“Yes, Dad, you have to talk to him properly. No matter what, Xiaotong is still his own son. Ye Zhiguo has lost his mind. He treats other people’s sons better than his own.” Lin Shufang said indignantly.
Lu Mo slowly chewed the beef tendon, but his mind was still working. It was a pity that his legs were inconvenient now, otherwise he could have investigated the events of that year. Having crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, Lu Mo had an intuition more sensitive than that of a wild beast.
There was definitely something fishy about Xu Yali's death back then.
He couldn't say any of this, and he certainly couldn't tell Ye Qingqing. He had to investigate slowly.
"How did Aunt Xu and Ye Zhiguo meet?" Lu Mo asked casually.
Lin Shufang was pleased that her son had taken an interest in the conversation and answered all his questions. "Your Aunt Xu also works at Qianjin Machinery Factory. She is an accountant, and Ye Zhiguo works in the security department. However, Ye Zhiguo was an activist back then. He is good at currying favor."
She guessed that Xu Yali married Ye Zhiguo because she was attracted to his shrewdness and his status as a retired soldier.
In that turbulent era, a girl like Xu Yali, who came from a poor background, desperately needed a strong protector, and Ye Zhiguo was a suitable candidate.
Lin Shufang sighed, "When I heard that your Aunt Xu was getting married, I was completely stunned. She had only known Ye Zhiguo for less than three months. She was in such a hurry."
"They got married after knowing each other for only three months?"
"Yes, to be precise, it was only two and a half months. Ye Zhiguo wasn't as successful back then as he is now. He dressed rather plainly, while your Aunt Xu was stylish and beautiful. It was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung." Lin Shufang shook her head.
Grandpa Lu said with dissatisfaction, "You can't judge a book by its cover. Although Ye Zhiguo is not good-looking, he is sincere to Yali, which means that Yali did not misjudge him."
Lin Shufang nodded in agreement, "That's right, Yali does have good taste."
It's just that I'm a little unlucky!
"Speaking of which, Yali's two births were not smooth. Qingqing was born prematurely, and Xiaotong had a difficult labor. Alas, she didn't make it through either of them!"
Lin Shufang's words made Lu Mo's heart skip a beat. Ye Qingqing was actually a premature baby.
"Qingqing was born at only seven months, but she's lucky. At seven months, she's like a full-term baby, chubby and healthy, with little arms and legs that are stronger than a boy's..."
Lin Shufang and the old man reminisced about Ye Qingqing's childhood, while Lu Mo was lost in thought.
