Liu Ercui saw who was coming and rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Go away, do you think my belly is a balloon?"

The woman immediately said sarcastically, "I knew you were filling your stomach just to grab some supplies. You are so worried that others don't know you are from the countryside. You are so short-sighted."

Liu Ercui spat on the ground, "It's none of your business! Why are you talking nonsense here?"

There were many people who spoke coldly to Liu Ercui, but Liu Ercui didn't take them to heart.

Unexpectedly, this woman seemed to be extremely angry with Liu Ercui, and her eyes were filled with hatred when she looked at Liu Ercui.

"It's none of my business. You've done a terrible job on Doctor Qiao! If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have died at such a young age!"

Dr. Qiao is the doctor that Liu Ercui’s man had talked to. Although many years have passed, most people in the building have heard of her name.

When Liu Ercui heard the three words "Doctor Qiao", she exploded.

Is this ever going to end?!

Will she never be able to get rid of that guy named Qiao in her life?

And it was Qiao who stole her man, how come she became the one who harmed him...

"The person is gone?" Liu Ercui was puzzled.

The woman snorted coldly, "That's right! Doctor Qiao's reputation was ruined because of you, so he had to be demobilized! His life after demobilization was not easy, and he even died of illness the other day."

As for the matter between Liu Ercui and Doctor Qiao, most people just watched for fun and chatted about it after dinner.

The woman in front of her had a good relationship with Doctor Qiao in the past, and she happened to hear a few days ago that Doctor Qiao had died of illness. Now, seeing that Liu Ercui was living a comfortable life, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Doctor Qiao.

"If you hadn't pushed Dr. Qiao away, she would have lived a smooth life and might not have gotten sick at all!"

Liu Ercui was stunned and rarely swore back.

The woman said a few words, and seeing that Liu Ercui didn't say anything, she smacked her lips and left in boredom.

Qin Hanshu called out, "Sister-in-law Ercui?"

Liu Ercui slowly looked at Qin Hanshu and murmured, "I haven't even seen her face, how can I be the one who harmed her?"

Qin Hanshu frowned and said, "Don't take other people's nonsense seriously. The one who controls life and death is the King of Hell. How can you have that ability?"

"That's right..." Liu Ercui seemed to have taken Qin Hanshu's words to heart, but she was obviously much quieter on the way back.

Cao Jing added: "Sister-in-law Er Cui, today is New Year's Eve, and the children have all returned from their hometown, so you should be happy."

Liu Ercui's twins were brought home some time ago and sent back to their hometown after the Chinese New Year.

Liu Ercui finally perked up when she thought of her children.

The three boys from Liu Ercui's family were very noisy. As soon as you entered the corridor, you could hear their fighting.

Liu Ercui scolded her sons who were jumping up and down on the stairs, "Go home and stop making noise outside! Do you think this whole building belongs to you?"

Although the three sons were naughty, they still listened to Liu Ercui and went home obediently after hearing what she said.

Only Yue'er ran down the stairs and walked towards Qin Hanshu and the others.

"Mother Ercui, Yue'er is helping me."

This was because he saw that Liu Ercui had a lot of things in her hands and wanted to help her carry them.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Little Yue'er is cute and sensible, much more considerate than her own son. Liu Ercui has long since sincerely accepted this adopted daughter.

Besides, pregnant women are especially soft-hearted. Thinking about the fact that Yue'er lost her parents at a young age, Liu Ercui felt even more pity for her.

"You are still young and cannot lift heavy things. Mom can do it." Liu Ercui said.

Yue'er blinked her pitiful eyes, "Mom?"

Since she came into the family, Yue'er has been addressing Liu Ercui and Zhang Lei with their names in front of their names, so as to distinguish them from their biological parents.

This was decided by Zhang Lei, and he hasn't changed Yue'er's surname yet, saying that he doesn't want Yue'er to forget her biological parents.

But at this moment, Liu Ercui called herself "Mom", which made Yue'er a little confused.

Liu Ercui laughed and said, "Look at me, I said it wrong because I was too quick to speak. It should be 'Ercui's mother'"

Yue'er's expression became firm after the confusion. She looked at Liu Ercui and called out, "Mom!"

Liu Ercui was stunned.

Yue'er asked again: "Mom, can I call you mom and dad like my brothers?"

Although Yue'er is young, she is aware that she is different at home. She doesn't want to be different and wants to be like her brothers.

Liu Ercui didn't dare to make the decision, so she just said, "Go back and ask your father Zhang Lei."

Yue'er nodded obediently.

When they went to the second floor and parted ways, Yue'er politely waved goodbye to Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing.

"Goodbye, Aunt Qin. Goodbye, Aunt Cao."

Cao Jing smiled and said, "Goodbye, Yue'er."

Qin Hanshu also smiled at Yue'er, then took out the key and opened the door.

When Yue'er saw that Aunt Qin didn't say goodbye to her as warmly as Aunt Cao Jing, she pursed her lips and followed Liu Ercui upstairs in disappointment.

Qin Hanshu didn't notice Yue'er's little emotion at all. She went home and sat for a while, and then Zhou Weiguang brought her breakfast.

Zhou Weiguang bought some white porridge and steamed buns, and she put some pickled vegetables that Qin Feiyang had prepared on a plate.

"Feiyang will be back early today to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, so you don't have to get busy with it."

Qin Hanshu glanced at him, "Why? Do you think my cooking is not tasty?"

Zhou Weiguang hurriedly shook his head, "How can that be possible? I'm worried that you'll get tired. Haven't you been complaining about back pain these past few days?"

Qin Hanshu shook his head, "It's just a little sore, not painful."

Zhou Weiguang: "Anyway, just take a rest. My brother-in-law has already promised me that he will pay for today's New Year's Eve dinner."

Qin Hanshu smiled and glanced at him, and stopped talking. Even if Zhou Weiguang didn't say anything, Qin Feiyang would basically not let Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing go to the kitchen as long as he was at home.

Qin Feiyang likes to tinker in the kitchen, so there are more things in the kitchen than Qin Hanshu's, making cooking more convenient.

After lunch, Qin Hanshu went to the house opposite with the ingredients he was going to use.

Cao Jing said: "We have prepared a lot here, enough to eat, you don't need to bring any ingredients."

"What I brought are things you don't have." Qin Hanshu put things in place and put the fish into the basin.

This live fish has been kept in the basin for several days. Because there is space and water, it has been living well.

Cao Jing looked at the fish jumping around in the basin and said fearfully, "We have to wait for Feiyang to come back and kill the fish."

Qin Hanshu said: "It's okay, I'll do it."

As he spoke, Qin Hanshu rolled up his sleeves.

Cao Jing was amazed by the quick and efficient movements.

Qin Feiyang came back at three o'clock in the afternoon. He drove the two of them out of the kitchen and closed the door.

Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing smiled at each other and simply let him go.

The aunt and sister-in-law packed a plate of melon seeds, made a pot of tea, turned on the radio, and chatted while listening to the broadcast.

The whole house is warm and beautiful.

But Liu Ercui's house upstairs is a completely different scene.

Zhang Lei stared at Liu Ercui with resentment, gritting his teeth and saying, "You instigated Yue'er to call you mom, do you want her to forget her own mother?!"
