Chapter 202
Seeing this, people didn't say much, after all, it was someone else's family affair.
Tang Wan couldn't help but give Wang Dani a thumbs up, "Mom, you are still amazing, you have a sharp eye."
She actually thought that Cheng Xiaoyue would get divorced this time, but it was obvious that they were overthinking it.
The couple got along very well, and Cheng Xiaoyue even deliberately sent Deputy Battalion Commander Duan to the door.
"That's right. I've seen a lot of this."
Wang Dani sighed. After her husband died, many people came to propose marriage to her.
She didn't agree to anyone's proposal. She thought it was much better to raise the child by herself than to get married again. At least she didn't have to live under the influence of other people.
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked back, Wang Dani was still mumbling, "Those two children are pitiful.
In this world, only mothers love their children the most, and all other sweet words are just to deceive people."
“Maybe.”
Tang Wan suddenly stopped and said to Wang Dani, "Mom, go back and cook first.
I have something to do with Huai Li, I will be back soon."
"Okay, then go slow, I'll go cook."
Wang Dani went back happily. At that time, everyone in the tube building had already dispersed and gone home.
Cheng Xiaoyue had not returned from seeing her man off yet, so Tang Wan went upstairs and saw the petite Duan Guihua cooking noodles in front of the coal stove.
She stood on the bench, looking serious and pious, as if she was making something delicious.
"Aunt Tang."
Seeing Tang Wan, Duan Guihua smiled, and Tang Wan gently helped her.
"I'll go in and see Guizhi."
"good."
Duan Guihua guarded the noodles, fearing that Cheng Xiaoyue would snatch them away. She hoped that her sister would eat better so that her injury could heal faster.
Tang Wan entered the small room, which was full of things. Cheng Xiaoyue was really sloppy and it seemed that she had not tidied up the room.
Duan Guihua and her sister used cardboard boxes to separate a small compartment for them to live in.
When Tang Wan walked in, she saw Guizhi lying on the small bed crying, and she had to carefully move her other hand away.
“Woo woo woo…”
"Still crying."
Tang Wan sighed and wiped her tears, "Guizhi, can you show Auntie Tang your hand?
Your uncle Lu bought some ointment a while ago, which may be helpful for your hand's recovery."
"Thank you, Aunt Tang. Hiccup..."
Guizhi cried and hiccuped, "But I got the medicine, I'll be fine soon."
"Let me see."
Tang Wan first looked at the medicine that Guizhi got from the military hospital.
The medicine is good, at least the best medicine of this era, but Tang Wan believes that it is not as good as the ointment she makes herself.
She gently lifted Guizhi's clothes and took a look. She was indeed recovering well. It seemed that Duan Guihua had taken good care of her in the hospital during this time.
"This medicine is very useful. Ask your sister to apply it to you once in the morning and once in the evening."
Tang Wan took out a small green bottle from the cloth bag. Inside was the burn ointment she had made in the space a few days ago after she learned that Guizhi had a burn.
"No need, Aunt Tang."
Guizhi is still young, only a few years old, but because her biological mother died young, she understands human nature.
Such a young child knows that he shouldn't take other people's things.
Tang Wan told a white lie, "These medicines were subsidized by the army to your Uncle Lu.
Wasn't he injured before? There's a little bit left, just right for you."
"Really?"
Duan Guizhi was young and actually believed Tang Wan’s lies, and Tang Wan nodded vigorously.
"Of course it's true. Try it first to see if it works. Come back to me when you're done."
"Thank you, Aunt Tang!"
In the little Duan Guizhi's heart, many years later, she still remembers this warm scene.
The beautiful aunt gently soothed her broken heart, allowing the young girl to feel the tenderness that only her sister could provide.
"You are welcome."
Tang Wan patted her head gently and said, "Auntie will go home first, you should have a good rest."
She walked out of the house. Duan Guihua had already prepared the noodles. She said with pain:
"Aunt Tang, would you like to eat something together?"
The family was poor, and if Tang Wan hadn't been a nice person, Duan Guihua wouldn't have invited her.
But these words were heard by Cheng Xiaoyue who had just gone upstairs. The fact that her stepmother liked Tang Wan made Cheng Xiaoyue even more upset.
"You little bastard, I can't bear to eat it myself, but you are so generous that you want to give the noodles to outsiders!"
"Thank you Guihua for your kindness, but I'm not hungry."
Tang Wan glanced at Cheng Xiaoyue indifferently, then stepped aside, and Duan Guihua walked into the house holding the bowl.
Neither of them paid any attention to Cheng Xiaoyue, making her feel embarrassed.
"Tang Wan, you can't afford noodles at home or what, so you come to my house?"
"Which eye of yours saw me eating your noodles?"
Tang Wan twitched her lips speechlessly, "Don't flatter yourself, my family is not so poor that we can't finish a bowl of noodles."
She took a few steps back, fearing that Cheng Xiaoyue would go crazy.
Sure enough, she took a few steps towards Tang Wan with a malicious smile.
At this moment, Lu Huaili appeared. She stood behind Tang Wan and supported her weakly.
"Third sister-in-law, come in and talk."
At this moment, they were three pregnant women. Tang Wan was concerned about the children, so she simply followed Lu Huaili back to the house.
Cheng Xiaoyue could only curl her lips and go back to her room, and soon she heard her voice making indirect accusations.
It simply means blaming the two children for eating noodles.
Lu Huaili was a little speechless, "She is narrow-minded, and she is my neighbor.
I am tired of listening to their quarrels every day."
“Indeed.”
Tang Wan stroked her belly gently, "You are pregnant, so you should have less contact with her in the future."
Tang Wan is a Chinese medicine doctor. She did a lot of observation, smell, and auscultation. Although she didn't take her pulse, she observed her complexion and the pace of her walk.
Cheng Xiaoyue doesn't seem to be pregnant.
As for how she made Deputy Battalion Commander Duan think she was pregnant, Tang Wan didn't know.
After all, it was just a pregnancy, and Tang Wan would not say anything she was not sure about.
"I wouldn't dare gamble with her with my child."
Lu Huaili glanced outside quietly, "She seems to have entered the house."
"Then I'll go back first. Huai Li, take care of yourself."
Tang Wan patted Lu Huaili's hand gently, then walked past her and quickly went down the stairs.
After leaving the tube building, she slowed down her pace and walked home. Before she opened the door and went in, Xu Cuiying came out from the opposite side.
"Sister Wanwan."
"What's the matter?"
Tang Wan saw that Xu Cuiying looked unhappy and guessed that she wanted to ask about Cheng Xiaoyue.
"Is Xiaoyue really pregnant?"
"I don't know either."
Tang Wan considered and said, "Anyway, that's what she and Deputy Battalion Commander Duan said. I don't know the details."
"well!"
Xu Cuiying looked helpless. "Before, she said she couldn't get pregnant and borrowed money to buy medicine. How could she get pregnant so soon?"
It turns out she is not the only one who has doubts. Tang Wan chuckled and said, "It's hard to say about this matter.
If you want to know, you can ask her."
Xu Cuiying is not a bad person, she just has some small thoughts, and sometimes Tang Wan doesn't want to talk to her about so many roundabout things.
Sure enough, when the question of asking herself was raised, Xu Cuiying showed resistance.
"Forget it, let's wait until her brother comes back. I can't get involved in their family affairs."
