It's an open secret in Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng's family that they want a daughter.
Sanbao also really wanted a soft and cuddly little sister, so he truly believed that there were two adorable little sisters in their mother's belly.
If this had happened before, Lu Huaijiao would have been 100% certain!
However, after what happened last night, Lu Huaijiao began to doubt herself.
The reason is simple: would a little girl be so lively? Staying up late at night, kicking her mother's belly and interacting with her father?
Lu Huaijiao thought it was unlikely.
Therefore, when she saw the three round little faces looking at her expectantly, Lu Huaijiao's lips twitched.
I felt a little guilty.
"They're very well-behaved, Mom is sleeping well, are the brothers sleeping well?"
Unable to answer the three children's questions for a moment, Lu Huaijiao could only change the subject.
When their mother asked them, the three of them immediately started talking about what kind of dreams they had last night. They chattered away as they went out, crossing the yard towards the kitchen, making quite a scene.
He Meizhu had prepared breakfast. When she saw the mother and her three children walking towards her, she smiled and wiped the water from her hands on her apron.
"Who will go and call Grandpa to come for breakfast?"
"I'll go."
"I'll go too."
The eldest and second eldest raised their hands, answered their grandmother's call, and then ran off. The youngest, however, obediently held onto Lu Huaijiao's hand and didn't let go.
Compared to his two older brothers, the third child was much quieter.
It's not that his quietness means he's flawed, but rather that Lu Huaijiao clearly noticed that their third son has a somewhat dark side.
Looking down at her child who was clinging to her and unwilling to leave, Lu Huaijiao smiled and asked, "What's wrong, baby? Why won't you go with your brother to call Grandpa? Did you have a bad dream last night?"
"No."
The third brother shook his head seriously.
She raised her little face and looked at Lu Huaijiao intently: "My two older brothers can go and call Grandpa, I'll take care of Mom."
Don't let his young age fool you, he's such a sweet little boy! So thoughtful at such a young age.
Lu Huaijiao felt incredibly warm and touched.
The third brother smiled shyly, his dimples appearing and disappearing on his cheeks.
Of the triplets, the youngest looks most like a girl. I didn't notice it when they were little, but now that they've grown older, I've noticed that their features have become more and more delicate.
Of course, the older brother is also refined, but compared to the third brother, he always falls a little short.
More importantly, the third brother has two shallow dimples on his cheeks! Although they are shallow, they are definitely there.
This added a touch of femininity to his already delicate features... cough cough, it might not be appropriate to say that about the third brother, a boy, but he is just good-looking.
At home, Gu Changzheng's favorite child is his third son.
It's not that I'm judging people by their appearance, but the third brother looks most like Lu Huaijiao.
For Gu Changzheng, a henpecked husband, his wife was the best, and his son who looked like her was naturally the most beloved.
Of course, this doesn't mean I don't love my two older brothers; it just means I hold the youngest one more often. Fortunately, the two older brothers don't compete with the youngest for attention.
Lu Huaijiao, however, spoke to Gu Changzheng behind his back several times before he finally restrained himself.
The mother and son walked into the kitchen hand in hand. Breakfast prepared by He Meizhu was already laid out on the table. This morning, it was white porridge, accompanied by several pickled side dishes, as well as soy milk and fried dough sticks bought from outside.
He Meizhu took the boiled eggs out of the cold water, turned around and saw Lu Huaijiao still standing, and said repeatedly, "Jiaojiao, why don't you sit down? Sit down and eat first."
Gu Changzheng left early in the morning, so naturally he wouldn't be coming back for breakfast.
So, the whole family, young and old, eats breakfast together at home.
He Meizhu invited Chen Lin and her group, who were protecting the family, to come to her house for breakfast, but they refused.
They said that Gu Changzheng's treatment was already good enough, and if He Meizhu provided meals as well, the Gu family would be at a huge loss. He Meizhu hadn't thought of that. She wasn't a stingy person to begin with, and now that her family was doing well, she became even more generous.
However, Chen Lin and her colleagues are also people of principle.
Since He Meizhu couldn't be summoned, she had no choice but to give up.
Hearing her mother's words, Lu Huaijiao smiled and said, "We'll eat together when Dad gets here."
The little girl may be a bit spoiled, but she still knows how to respect the elderly and care for the young. She especially respects her parents, who are so good to her.
This small gesture warmed He Meizhu's heart.
"You're family, why are you being so fussy?"
She smiled and sat down next to Lu Huaijiao, then reached out and lifted the third child onto a stool. Just then, Gu Jianhua was also brought back by his two eldest grandsons, and the family had a lively breakfast together.
Chen Lin arrived after breakfast.
She greeted He Meizhu and Gu Jianhua, and asked Lu Huaijiao if she wanted to go out for a walk.
"The weather is nice today, perfect for a walk outside," Chen Lin said with a slight smile.
Lu Huaijiao looked at Chen Lin and felt that, based on her understanding of Chen Lin, she didn't seem like the kind of person who would suggest going out for a walk for no reason.
Connecting this with what Gu Changzheng said last night, Lu Huaijiao roughly guessed that news of Lu Zhengde's family affairs had probably reached them.
It was perfect timing; she was just idling at home anyway, and with Chen Lin around, and since they were in an alley, she didn't have to worry about safety.
Moreover, she believed that Gu Changzheng had just gone to see Lu Zhengde last night, and that Lu Zhengde and his group would definitely be busy for a few days and wouldn't have much free time to deal with her right away.
Lu Huaijiao thought it through and agreed.
"good."
Together with Chen Lin, Sanbao, and He Meizhu, she went out into the alley, a place where neighbors liked to gather and chat. Before they even got there, they could hear the loud voice of an auntie calling out from the crowd.
"That Lu Zhengde, he calls himself a teacher, and supposedly he just got promoted to deputy director! Who would have thought that while his young wife was pregnant, he was sleeping with an aunt from his hometown? My God, it's unbelievable! One man and two women, sleeping naked in one bed. I heard that his new wife saw it and was so angry that she bled on the spot."
The aunt shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huaijiao paused for a moment, first looking at Chen Lin beside her.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "I just heard about it too."
She was not lying.
She overheard the neighbors talking about it when she went out, and found it particularly interesting. She wanted to pull Lu Huaijiao aside so she could hear it for herself, to hear firsthand what would become of Zhao Rui and the two old women who were with her.
