After everyone left, Yun Duoduo tried to discuss it with Ning Yue, "Mom, I want to take a shower and wash my hair. I haven't washed it since I came back after giving birth, and it's so uncomfortable. Is that okay?"
Because Song Qinglian and Wu Chunlan insisted that women should not take a bath or wash their hair during postpartum confinement, otherwise they would catch a cold and feel uncomfortable, so they just let Yun Duoduo wipe herself down.
No matter how Yun Duoduo tried to explain to them that it was scientifically acceptable to wash her hair and take a bath during postpartum confinement as long as she didn't catch a cold, they just wouldn't allow it.
Yun Duoduo couldn't explain it to them, and she had been holding back for half a month.
She knew that Ning Yue was a doctor and knew more about this than they did, but she didn't want to argue with them, so she asked Yun Duoduo to be patient for now.
While they were away, Yun Duoduo quickly spoke with Ning Yue.
Ning Yue knew what Yun Duoduo was thinking, and nodded with a smile, "You can wash, but hurry up and don't catch a cold."
Yun Duoduo nodded, leaving Ning Yue to watch over the three children inside the house.
The three children were sleeping at the moment, Ning Yue was sitting next to them reading a book, and it wouldn't be a problem for Yun Duoduo to go take a shower.
"Bang bang bang..." Duoduo had just finished boiling water in the kitchen and was about to wash her hair when she heard a knock on the door. Thinking that Yan Honglan might be back, she immediately went to open the door.
But it wasn't Yan Honglan outside; it was Jian Dan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Although Jian Dan lived next door to them, she and Yun Duoduo rarely met, especially after their partnership ended, the two never saw each other again.
Yun Duoduo was somewhat surprised that Jian Dan would suddenly come to find her.
It had been a while since I'd seen her, and Jian Dan seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Clothes that used to fit her looked baggy on her now.
Strangely, this time she didn't wear a veil; she just came out wearing a hat.
This time, Yun Duoduo finally got a clear look at her entire face.
One of her faces was unharmed, while the other was covered in crisscrossing scars, burn marks that extended down to her neck and possibly even her entire body.
Fortunately, this wasn't Yun Duoduo's first time meeting Jian Dan, so she didn't show too much surprise. Instead, she nodded slightly at her, "Jian Dan..."
Jian Dan looked at Yun Duoduo with a slightly cold gaze. She glanced around the courtyard and asked indifferently, "Is your family celebrating a happy occasion today?"
"Yes." Yun Duoduo nodded, then remembered that Jian Dan lived next door, and she didn't like noise.
Yun Duoduo quickly apologized, "Was it a bit noisy? I'm sorry. I should have told you beforehand that my younger brother is getting married today."
Jian Dan neither confirmed nor denied Yun Duoduo's words, but simply looked at Yun Duoduo and said quietly, "Marriage is a joyous occasion, and it is indeed something to be happy about."
That's what she said, but judging from her expression, she didn't think that other people's weddings were a happy thing.
After this incident, Yun Duoduo became even more reluctant to have much interaction with Jian Dan. She felt that she had nothing to say to Jian Dan, so she apologized again, "I'm sorry about this morning. Everyone has gone out to eat. The guests won't be coming this afternoon, so it won't be so noisy."
Jian Dan looked at Yun Duoduo and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Really?"
This simple sentence made Yun Duoduo frown slightly.
Yun Duoduo had never truly understood Jian Dan.
She didn't know whether the simple "Really?" was a sign of displeasure or a confirmation of whether the argument would continue in the afternoon.
But Yun Duoduo didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled faintly at her.
Logically, after briefly saying what needed to be said, it was time to leave.
Just as Yun Duoduo had expected, Jian Dan didn't expect a reply from her. She turned around and prepared to go back.
However, before Yun Duoduo closed the door, she suddenly turned back and said, "I didn't come to blame you for being noisy. I just wanted to come and congratulate you. Especially seeing your whole family together in harmony, while I am always alone, I am very envious."
When he said the last sentence, Jian Du's tone was very strange.
It didn't seem like envy; on the contrary, it seemed to carry a hint of anger.
Anger, why is she angry?
She got angry when they were celebrating a happy occasion.
Is it true that being alone for a long time changes one's mindset?
Yun Duoduo looked at her and said, "It's simple. If you're willing to step out of your shell, many people will want to be your friend."
"Never mind, I'm not used to having friends." After saying that, Jian Dan glanced at Yun Duoduo and then at the courtyard behind her before turning and leaving.
Yun Duoduo closed the door, thinking about the simple expression on her face just now, and felt that something was wrong.
But Jian Dan is someone who has her own way of doing things and her own thoughts, which are generally hard for ordinary people to understand.
This might be why she couldn't become friends with her.
Not wanting to think too much about Jian Dan, Yun Duoduo turned around and went to the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower. She figured the children were asleep anyway, and with Ning Jing watching over them, she felt at ease.
Despite thinking this way, Yun Duoduo still sped up her shower and came out of the bathroom in about twenty minutes.
She returned to her room and saw that her eldest and second eldest sons were sleeping soundly in bed. Ning Yue and the third eldest son were not in the room at the moment. Yun Duoduo thought that the third eldest son must have woken up and Ning Yue had taken her to play in the yard or nearby.
Yun Duoduo went back to the bathroom again to pack up her clothes, thinking that she would take them back to the Li family's place to wash them together, since it was inconvenient to wash clothes here.
After she finished tidying up and came out again, she saw Ning Yue had returned.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo's hair was still wet, Ning Yue called out to her, "Duoduo, you've finished taking a shower? Hurry up and dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold."
Yun Duoduo nodded, then glanced at Ning Yue's empty hands and asked, "Mom, did you take the third child out to play just now?"
Ning Yue glanced at Yun Duoduo with some confusion, then, remembering something, pointed outside and said, "No, someone just knocked on the door asking for directions, so I went to give them directions."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo immediately frowned, "You didn't take Lao San with you?"
Ning Yue shook her head. "No, the children are all asleep. I'm just outside the door."
Hearing this, Yun Duoduo got scared and immediately ran into the house, saying, "Wait a minute, I just went into the house, and Lao San wasn't there."
"The third child isn't in the room?" Ning Yue asked, following behind Yun Duoduo. "How could that be? All three children were sleeping soundly when I went out."
After they finished speaking, the two had already entered the house.
As Yun Duoduo had predicted, the third brother wasn't in the room; only the eldest and second brothers were sound asleep.
Immediately, Yun Duoduo's heart began to pound wildly, and her first thought was that her child was lost.
But then I thought, logically no one would have the guts to come and steal a child from their home, and what would they do with a child?
Strangers certainly wouldn't dare to come in and steal the child.
