Lu Wanqing clutched her stomach, a gentle smile characteristic of motherhood appearing on her face.
The thought of her three babies growing inside her filled her with joy.
Let's be kinder to the children so that we can accumulate some good fortune for them!
"Xiao Cui, go and give them some money tomorrow. Hospitalization will definitely cost money, so give each of them 100 yuan as a way of repaying them for raising us," Lu Wanqing said.
Lin Xiaocui nodded, "Okay, I'll find Wang Xu later and ask him to help me ask for half a day off. I'll go straight to school after I leave the hospital."
As Lin Ye helped Lu Wanqing into the house, he said, "I'll have Haozi take you there tomorrow. He's been busy preparing for his wedding and sees Mu Xiaoting quite often."
After the group entered the house, Lin Xiaocui was busy doing her homework, while Lin Ye was busy cooking.
After the meal was ready, Lin Chunhua and Zhao Xiaolan finished their day's work and came over to eat as well.
After hearing about the fight between Zhang Guixiang and Wang Xiuqin, Lin Chunhua didn't know how to comment and just buried her head in her food.
It's fine if the two of them fight, but she would never allow anyone to find fault with Wanqing.
When she heard that Lu Jiajia had almost caused Wanqing to fall into the field, she was so angry that she didn't eat for two meals and wished she could tear her apart.
To be honest, Lu Wanqing is quite pitiful; her mother actually helps her adopted daughter instead of her.
It's true that every family has its own problems!
She had been staying at Lin Ye's house for some time now, but Wang Tiegang hadn't come to see her even once.
I heard from Wang Guangming's wife that Widow Jin's baby was saved and she had returned home from the hospital.
Wang Xiuzhi wanted a grandson, but told Wang Tiegang that Jin Qiao was absolutely not allowed to enter the house. Every day, besides going to work, Wang Tiegang would go to Jin Qiao's house.
It seems that Wang Tiegang has deep feelings for Jin Qiao and is very reluctant to part with her.
Whether it was because of the child or because of Jin Qiao herself, Lin Chunhua had made up her mind to divorce him.
Moreover, she has gradually gotten used to being by Elaine Chao's side, working with her, chatting and laughing, and feeling much more relaxed.
After the family finished their meal, they went their separate ways.
Lin Chunhua helped Zhao Xiaolan wash up before going to bed.
After washing the dishes, Lin Ye would accompany Lu Wanqing for a walk.
In this era, there was no cesarean section, so women had to give birth naturally. Therefore, the baby couldn't be too big, and the mother needed to be strong. Taking a walk after meals could make childbirth smoother for pregnant women.
Lin Xiaocui went to the brigade headquarters dormitory to find Wang Xu and asked him to help her ask for leave.
She called Wang Xu out of the house, but before she could mention asking for leave, Wang Xu spoke first: "I heard your mother and Lu Wanqing's mother got into a fight. Does that mean you and your sister-in-law aren't getting along? Can you still stay at her place?"
"Guess?" Lin Xiaocui smiled mischievously.
Wang Xu, always straightforward, didn't bother guessing. He flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "Speak quickly, or don't ask me for anything!"
"Amazing! How did you know I needed your help?" Lin Xiaocui rubbed her aching forehead and pouted. "Fine, if you don't want to help, I'll go find Luo Chunlei. I have more than just you as a classmate."
After saying that, Lin Xiaocui made a move to leave.
Wang Xu quickly grabbed her sleeve, "Okay, answer my question and I'll help you!"
Lin Xiaocui put on a smug expression and said, "My sister-in-law is such a good person. She knows perfectly well that her mother treats her badly, but she still asked me to bring her medical expenses tomorrow. To avoid putting me in a difficult position, she also asked me to give my mother fifty yuan. If you ask me, they got hurt because they brought it on themselves. Staying in the hospital for a few days is a good opportunity for them to reflect on their actions."
After saying that, Lin Xiaocui lowered her voice and asked, "What does your dad plan to do with my mom?"
The matter of Zhang Guixiang and Wang Xiuqin conspiring to poison crabs is something that can't be dealt with because Zhang Guixiang isn't from the brigade, but Wang Xiuqin is from the brigade, so she certainly won't let it go so easily!
After hearing this, Wang Xu chuckled slyly, "Looks like you still care about your mother."
Lin Xiaocui pointed her nose at him, "You think you're so smart. She's still my mom. If she doesn't cause trouble, I'll treat her sincerely. Remember to ask for half a day off for me tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave when Lin Gou Dan called her back.
"Xiao Cui, wait a minute." Lin Gou Dan limped towards them.
It's getting dark, what's he doing out here?
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiaocui's tone was clearly impatient.
Since lying on the snow during the Spring Festival, Lin Gou Dan's health has deteriorated further. His previous leg injury has not fully healed, and he is almost crippled.
He finally made it from home to the brigade headquarters, and when he saw Lin Xiaocui, he was overjoyed. "Xiaocui, I'm hungry. Nobody's cooking for me. Can you get me something to eat?"
Zhang Guixiang had overturned everything in the house, and there was nothing ready to eat. He was too lazy to cook, so he thought he would come to Lin Xiaocui to find something to eat.
He was starving, and Lin Xiaocui couldn't possibly be so heartless as to let him go hungry!
Lin Xiaocui, however, did not tolerate his bad habit. No matter how poor the family was, they still had rice. He was so lazy that he couldn't even cook for himself.
He's been pampered since childhood, and he can't stand it if Wang Xiuqin doesn't cook for him even once.
They weren't hungry enough. When they were starving, they'd know when to stop.
"Brother, there's no food left at home. Even if there's a little left, it's been fed to the chickens and dogs. There's nothing left for you. Don't go to Brother Lin Ye's house." Lin Xiaocui said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Gou Dan immediately covered his mouth and began to sob, "You heartless bastard! I'm still your brother! You don't care when Mom is in trouble, and you don't care when your brother goes hungry. How can you be so cruel?"
He became more and more upset as he spoke, his face covered in snot and tears, looking utterly disgusting.
Wang Xu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He knew that Lin Xiaocui was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Out of consideration for her, he went back to the house and brought back two rice balls filled with vegetables. He stuffed them into Lin Xiaocui's hands and said curtly, "Take these and have a meal. Since no one is cooking for you anymore, you should learn to cook something yourself."
Lin Gou Dan picked up the rice balls, one in his left hand and one in his right, and started munching on them, ignoring the snot that got in his nose as he ate them. "You're such a loyal guy! Be my brother-in-law from now on!"
After hearing this, Wang Xu's ears burned, and he said awkwardly, "What nonsense are you spouting? Give me back my rice ball!"
Lin Xiaocui went even further and kicked him in the butt, saying, "Get out of here, or I'll make you regret it!"
Lin Gou Dan skipped and hopped away with a grin, and after walking about ten meters, he didn't forget to turn back and tease the two of them.
"Oh, what's wrong with being my brother-in-law!"
The two looked at each other, then turned their faces away.
"We're too familiar, I can't bring myself to do it!" Lin Xiaocui said, then fled as if she were running away.
Wang Xu scratched the back of his head, and the normally sunny and lively person suddenly became shy.
