Chapter 426 Bitter Fruit Can Only Be Swallowed Alone



Niu Fangfang is a kind and warm-hearted girl.

However, she really couldn't help with this matter.

Lu Huaijiao waved her hand.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. If I had to say, it's probably my own fault."

She thought she was clever and had schemed against Gu Changzheng all night, but who knew he would give up and pester her every day with things like "heaven rewards diligence" and that their sweet and soft daughter wouldn't come overnight, so she had to work harder for a while.

Moreover, in order to "welcome" his daughter's arrival, Gu Changzheng made all sorts of despicable demands...

Lu Huaijiao feels her face burning and her legs going weak whenever she thinks about it now.

"He brought it on himself?"

Niu Fangfang was completely bewildered.

Lu Huaijiao sighed again, realizing she couldn't continue discussing this topic with Niu Fangfang, otherwise she might be tempted to lead Niu Fangfang astray.

If she leads Niu Fangfang astray, how could Brother Xiang forgive her? Lu Huaijiao shook her head repeatedly, trying to shake off the messy thoughts about Gu Changzheng from her mind.

Picking up her packed schoolbag, she stood up and left the classroom with Niu Fangfang.

"let's go."

"Okay."

The two walked out while talking.

Niu Fangfang asked Lu Huaijiao what she wanted to do tomorrow. If she was free, she suggested they go shopping at the pedestrian street together. It was getting hot, and she wanted to buy clothes for her family.

Lu Huaijiao let out a surprised "Eh?" and looked at her with amusement.

"Are you just going to buy clothes for your family? You weren't planning to buy any for Brother Xiang?"

"Jiaojiao, don't make fun of me." Niu Fangfang's thoughts were exposed, and her face immediately turned red. Her eyes darted around, and she acted coyly, perfectly portraying the behavior of a young girl who had just started dating and was in the honeymoon phase.

Lu Huaijiao chuckled mischievously, "Do you want me to go with you? Or should you ask Brother Xiang to go with you? Why don't you invite him along? After you've finished shopping, you can go on a date? See a movie, go for a walk in the park or something?"

“I asked him, and he has something to do on Saturday, so he can’t come with me.”

Niu Fangfang was honest and knew that Lu Huaijiao was teasing her, but she didn't intend to hide it.

Lu Huaijiao hummed in agreement, then nodded, remembering that Gu Changzheng had also said he would be busy this Saturday.

"Okay, let's go shopping tomorrow."

"Um."

The two girls had agreed to go shopping the next day. When they went to bed that night, Lu Huaijiao pushed away the man who was approaching her and pitifully told him that she was going shopping the next day.

"I haven't bought any new clothes in ages."

Lu Huaijiao's eyebrows drooped, like a little puppy that had suffered a great injustice: "If you keep bothering me, I won't be able to go out tomorrow. You don't want me to go shopping, do you?"

Worried that Gu Changzheng wouldn't agree, she could only whine and whine, resorting to pleading and coquettishness.

Gu Changzheng was extremely helpless.

"Baby, if you get pregnant, your husband will stay for two years."

So if he's not allowed to get his money's worth now, he feels like he's losing out.

Lu Huaijiao glared at him irritably and slapped away his restless hand: "When I was pregnant with Sanbao, you weren't exactly well-behaved either."

He keeps saying he'll only stay for two years, but he still frequently messes with her hands.

Not only her hands, but she had helped him in other places as well. Sometimes Lu Huaijiao felt embarrassed when she thought about it. How could he bring it up now?

Gu Changzheng, whose past grievances were brought up: ...

"Just once?"

The man shamelessly tried to negotiate.

Lu Huaijiao touched her still flat stomach and hummed in agreement.

Fortunately, this time, the man kept his word.

The next morning, Lu Huaijiao got up in high spirits, took the three children to the intersection to eat noodles, and then sent them home to stay with He Meizhu.

She went shopping with Niu Fangfang today, so it was inconvenient for her to bring her three children.

Even if He Meizhu goes out with them, it's not easy for two people to take care of three children. So Lu Huaijiao often doesn't choose to take the children to places that are too far away.

They don't make a fuss, and they don't cry and whine to chase after their mother when she leaves the house, saying they can't go with her.

Sanbao obediently said goodbye to his mother and reminded her to be careful when she went out.

Yes, the outside world is still very unsafe.

With so many vagrants and traitors still lurking in the shadows, women traveling with several children are easy targets for those who want to do bad things.

Neither Lu Huaijiao nor Gu Changzheng intended to let the children take any risks.

She took the money with her and went out to the tram stop outside Tianshui Hutong. She waited for the tram that was going to the pedestrian street, got on the tram, found a seat in the middle towards the back, and opened the window a crack to look at the scenery along the way.

This city, or rather, society as a whole, is visibly changing and getting better little by little.

Having lived to be 85 years old in her previous life, she naturally knows how much progress society has made since the reform and opening up.

Even if she doesn't have memories of her past life, she can still find out by paying attention to the outside world.

Putting aside other things, people walking on the street are smiling much more often than before.

There are also many more people riding bicycles on the road than before.

These are all changes.

The land beneath her feet is gradually improving!

While things are changing in the provincial capital, things must be changing even faster in Shanghai, right? Lu Huaijiao noticed that the businesses she invested in last summer are starting to show signs of making money this year.

Two years later, when she graduates from university, she should be able to raise enough capital to return to Shanghai to develop her career, right?
