They walked into the narrow and dark corridor, and before they reached the door of Zhang's house, they saw Zhang Lan coming out.
Zhang Lan's belly had just begun to show. Seeing Chang Chunli and Xu Nuannuan, she said happily, "Mom, Nuannuan, why are you here? I said I was going home."
"Nuannuan and I just came back from the vegetable market, and we stopped by to ask you to come with us."
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang Lan had not taken a few steps with her bag when a little boy suddenly rushed up from behind her. The little boy ran so fast that he bumped into her hard. Zhang Lan leaned forward and was about to fall to the ground.
"Sister Lan, be careful."
Xu Nuannuan was quick-witted and rushed over to support Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan protected her stomach with both hands and was almost scared out of her wits.
The little boy who had just bumped into her had already run away. She yelled at him, "Xiaohui, why are you running so fast? You almost knocked me down."
"I, I'm going to go play with Aihu. I'm leaving." After saying that, he ran away again.
Xu Nuannuan asked her: "Sister Lan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Nuannuan, thank you so much. If you hadn't supported me in time, I might have fallen to the ground."
After saying that, she subconsciously looked at her belly. If she really fell, the baby in her belly might be in danger.
Xu Nuannuan was still in shock. She remembered that Zhang Lan had a miscarriage at noon in her previous life. It was only a little after nine in the morning, which meant that this fall might have caused serious damage to Zhang Lan, but it could not directly cause her miscarriage. Combined with the incident at noon, it was what eventually caused her miscarriage and she lost her fertility forever.
Chang Chunli also hurried over and supported Zhang Lan: "Lanlan, how are you? Are you okay?"
"Mom, thankfully Nuannuan caught me in time. Don't worry, I'm fine."
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law of the Hu family poked her head out of the house and looked outside.
Seeing her, Chang Chunli quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please take good care of the child from now on. Just now, your Xiaohui ran too fast and bumped into Lanlan. Lanlan is still pregnant. If it weren't for Nuannuan holding her up, she would have been knocked to the ground. It would have been a disaster."
Mrs. Hu seemed unconcerned. "Nothing happened, did it? I told the kid off, but he just has that kind of personality. He won't listen, and there's nothing I can do."
"Even if he doesn't listen, you have to tell him. Children forget things quickly. You should tell him a few more times and keep him under control."
Mrs. Hu didn't say anything else, but her face was full of impatience.
Zhang Lan held Chang Chunli and said, "Mom, don't tell her yet. Let's go home."
She didn't want her in-laws' affairs to disturb their relationship, nor did she want to drag Xu Nuannuan into the quarrel with her in-laws.
Chang Chunli curled her lips, and seemed to be considering Xu Nuannuan, so she forced herself to remain silent.
Xu Nuannuan felt that this matter seemed more complicated than it actually was. When she got outside, she asked Zhang Lan, "Sister Lan, the eldest wife's child is so reckless. Will the second wife's child be any better?"
Zhang Lan said, "It's a little better, but not much better."
"The two daughters of the eldest wife are not young anymore."
"One is sixteen, and the other is thirteen."
Xu Nuannuan sighed secretly, "They are two girls of that age, they should have their own rooms to sleep in."
"No, there are too few rooms at home. My eldest brother works alone and his company doesn't have any allocated rooms. They can't afford to buy one, so they sleep in one room and draw a curtain in the middle at night. Da Ying and Er Ying have been complaining for a long time that they don't want to sleep in the same room with their parents, but unfortunately there is no extra room at home."
"How is the relationship between your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law?"
"No, they're always arguing, and my mother-in-law can't control them, especially these days. They start arguing over trivial matters."
"You mean, they didn't argue much before, but they've been arguing more frequently recently. So they're just arguing, not fighting, right?"
"Sometimes when the argument gets intense, they start fighting, and no one can separate them unless their men are there."
"Sister Lan, isn't it dangerous for you to stay in that house? The kids are running around, and their mothers are always arguing and fighting. You're pregnant now. What if someone knocks you down? Just like today, it's too dangerous. Maybe it would be safer if you moved out."
Chang Chunli listened to their conversation and complained to Mrs. Hu: "Look at Xiaohui's mother. I asked her to take care of the child, but she ignored me. Isn't this just indulging the child?
If we hadn't come today, you would have been knocked down by him. Oh, Mom is really worried that if you continue to live in his house, something will happen one day. Why don't you come back to live with us and wait until you give birth to the baby in the hospital before going back, otherwise Mom will worry every day.
After listening to Xu Nuannuan's words, Zhang Lan realized something. After hearing Chang Chunli's words, she almost understood why the family quarreled and the child was always running around.
"Nuannuan, Mom, the day before yesterday, Daying asked me when his uncle's workplace would distribute housing. He must be targeting our room and wants to force us to move out so those two girls can move in."
Chang Chunli thought about it and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Fuck him! He wants to force my daughter out just to let his own daughter have a house to live in. How can this person be so cruel? You are pregnant now, and they don't even want you to live in the house."
