After resolving the matter, they still went to town.
But the first place was the hospital.
"Zhiyu, what are you doing at the hospital?" Tian Hongfang and Tao Qingtang asked, puzzled.
"Sister-in-law, I know you don't like hospitals, but you should still come for a check-up if you're not feeling well, so you can have peace of mind. Otherwise, a minor illness can turn into a major one, and you'll suffer in the end."
Tao Qingtang never expected Ye Zhiyu to care about her so much. She had only mentioned it casually, but Ye Zhiyu had been thinking about it for so long.
"Okay!" Not wanting to disappoint Ye Zhiyu's kindness, she agreed.
Ye Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Tao Wan's crisis was resolved with her help, it was still better to find out about her sister-in-law's pregnancy as soon as possible so that she could feel at ease.
Lu Ze was very grateful to Ye Zhiyu. He had previously considered persuading his wife to come for a checkup.
However, they have been unable to conceive for the past two years. They have visited the hospital many times, but the test results all show that there is no problem between him and Tao Qingtang.
Her parents comforted her, telling her to take it slow, not to rush, that she was still young and would have it eventually.
However, they couldn't control the gossip outside, and Qingtang would feel upset for a long time every time she heard it.
As a result, she eventually stopped wanting to come to the hospital altogether.
"well!"
Lu Ze accompanied Tao Qingtang to the examination, and the three of them waited on a bench in the hospital.
Tian Hongfang couldn't help but sigh, "It's also our family's fault for not protecting Qingtang well. She's suffering so much."
Ye Zhiyu simply patted her back to offer comfort.
Lu Ze felt a moment of disorientation, accompanied by tinnitus, and couldn't hear what the doctor said next.
Is he going to be a father?
His hand was warmly held, and Lu Ze stared blankly at the source of the gaze. It was Tao Qingtang with red eyes.
"Lu Ze, did you hear me? I'm pregnant."
Lu Ze's eyes also reddened, and he grasped her hand in return, saying, "I heard it, I heard it."
He had seen his wife's sadness over the past two years. Although he tried to comfort her, his parents never said anything. She said she was lucky to have married into the family, but he knew she was sad. Now, her wish had finally come true.
When Tian Hongfang found out, she jumped three feet high, startling everyone present.
Especially after hearing that Tao Qingtang had previously shown signs of wanting to miscarry, she even wanted to carry her away.
They stopped him, both amused and exasperated.
Tian Hongfang, who was already excited about going out for a stroll, was like a man possessed, buying everything in sight at the supply and marketing cooperative. She wanted to buy everything, thinking that she might need it in the future, or that her daughter-in-law might like to eat it.
In the end, Lu Chen and Lu Ze were covered in clothes, and it was only when Ye Zhiyu and Tao Qingtang said they were hungry that they stopped.
They had a big meal at a state-run restaurant, and gave Lu Weimin and Lu Yun two large dishes and several meat buns before going home.
This matter is now closed.
Ye Zhiyu also resumed her habit of staying at home, which can be referred to as hibernation.
Liu Shengnan said that if she didn't need to go to the toilet, she would have stayed in bed forever.
Lu Chen also brought up Tao Wan's aftermath.
When his mother saw her being sent back, she knew that things had not gone well. She smiled and saw the three brothers off, but then immediately had Tao Wan sent back to the Zhou family.
After arriving at the Zhou family, they even said that Tao Wan was now part of their family after marrying into it, and she could do whatever she wanted without them interfering.
They exemplify the principle of valuing money above all else.
As the days went by, Xu Ronghua stepped into the Red Flag Brigade amidst the first snow of winter.
The brown suitcase was placed on the ground, stirring up dust in the yard, which landed on her leather shoes.
Xu Ronghua frowned, took two steps back, and fanned the air in front of him with disdain.
"What a lousy place." A pair of slanted phoenix eyes looked around with dissatisfaction.
Ye Zhiyu was cooking a special meal inside when she heard a noise outside. She picked up her watch to check the time.
It's only 10 o'clock.
She felt it wasn't time for them to come back yet.
This was her demeanor when she met Xu Ronghua.
Her eyebrows and eyes overlapped with the image of the sophisticated and high-class person in her memory. Seeing her so disgusted, Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Zhiyu? Oh, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"
Xu Ronghua's change of expression was just as fast as Li Xi's, and Ye Zhiyu smiled and let her hold her hand.
"Really? Auntie, I miss you too."
Anyone can feign compliance; it's just a matter of a smile.
"Then why did you ask Ting Shen to tell me not to send you anything? Wouldn't that hurt Auntie's feelings?" Xu Ronghua gave her a reproachful look.
She carefully examined the girl in front of her, the one who had been following her son around.
I thought that the pampered young lady would be very haggard, thin, and tormented in this poor and remote place.
Unexpectedly, her complexion was rosy, and she not only didn't lose weight, but actually gained a little weight. The light that had disappeared from her eyes returned, making her even more radiant and beautiful.
Ye Zhiyu's smile remained unchanged. He withdrew his hand and instead grasped hers.
"I didn't mean to hurt Auntie's feelings, it's just..." Ye Zhiyu paused, suppressing her disgust, and said, "It's just that Ting Shen has a girlfriend after all, and I don't want Li Xi to misunderstand. Besides, Auntie, would you be angry if I didn't accept your things?"
"What are you saying? Your aunt has always treated you like her own daughter, so why would she be angry with you?"
Upon hearing Li Xi's name, a flash of resentment crossed Xu Ronghua's eyes.
"Auntie, did you come to see Brother Tingshen? You're so kind, unlike my dad who doesn't care about me at all."
Ye Jinlin, far away in Beijing: Achoo!
He rubbed his nose. "Who insulted me?"
Su Zheng'an mocked him without any politeness: "Serves you right!"
"Yes, Auntie missed him and also came to see you. When you were about to go to the countryside, I was so sad and didn't sleep for days. Now that I see you are doing so well, Auntie is relieved."
Ye Zhiyu sneered. Back then, she had wholeheartedly supported Fu Tingshen's decision to go to the countryside. Now, what was she pretending to be, this kind elder?
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and Ye Zhiyu no longer wanted to talk to Xu Ronghua.
"Auntie, look, it's snowing! It's so beautiful!"
I reached out, and snowflakes fell into my palm, slowly disappearing.
Xu Ronghua rubbed her arms, inwardly blaming Ye Zhiyu for not welcoming her inside first. She knew it was cold here, but she didn't expect it to be this cold; she was freezing to death.
Ye Zhiyu caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye and gloated.
Xu Ronghua wore a coat to emphasize her noble status.
I had been walking and my body was generating heat, but when I stopped, a cold wind blew by and I started to shiver.
"Wow, it really snowed! We only see snow where we live, and it's only a little bit. Before we knew it, it was gone."
"From now on, you can watch as much as you want, you might even get sick of it."
"How could that be? Snow is such a beautiful thing, how could I ever get tired of it?"
The educated youth walked in, chatting excitedly, with some of the southerners particularly excited.
Seeing so many people come in, Xu Ronghua quickly straightened her posture and made herself look more presentable.
The educated youth who came in were also taken aback when they saw her. Some of them thought of when Shen Xingxiu's mother came to propose marriage to Ye Zhiyu.
This auntie seems a lot like her.
