After several days of careful care from Lu Wanqing, Lin Ye's injuries have fully healed.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Elaine Chao and Lin Chunhua both came to pick him up.
Luo Hao didn't come over; he lent his bicycle to Lin Chunhua, so he was left without a bike.
As soon as they were discharged from the hospital, they went to Liu Zhengfeng's house.
Lu Wanqing asked Lin Chunhua to catch one of the chickens she kept at home and bring it over.
Liu Zhengfeng invited everyone to stay for dinner, and they happened to have stewed the chicken.
Liu Ying received a call from her father and came back for lunch. Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, and had a very happy meal.
When the father and daughter heard that Lu Wanqing was pregnant with triplets, they were even happier than if their own family had a happy event. They served her chicken soup to help her recover.
"Sister Wanqing, does that mean you can't do your sewing work anymore?" Liu Ying suddenly asked.
Lu Wanqing smiled gently, "I'm just pregnant, not sick. I can't do anything except for things like running around, lifting heavy objects, or bending over. Besides, with Sister Chunhua helping us make clothes, our little workshop is making more clothes than before."
Since discovering she was pregnant, she has been making two cheongsams every single day without fail.
Yu Meifeng came to collect the clothes once, saying that Huang Ming was very satisfied, paid her three thousand yuan, and asked them to continue making them, which gave them a lot of motivation.
Liu Ying was also very happy to hear this. "It seems my friend is in luck. She has relatives in Hong Kong who want to broaden her horizons and take her to a party. They need to prepare a cheongsam, but they haven't found one they like yet. Why don't they buy one from you?"
"Don't mention buying. Your friend is my friend. Next time, I'll have Xiao Cui bring you a few items, and you can let her pick one out," Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
Liu Zhengfeng helped with the case so quickly, which was a huge favor, and she was just worried about not having anything good to give him.
Liu Ying quickly declined, "That won't do, since she's paying anyway. A few dozen yuan isn't something she can't afford."
Lu Wanqing did not refuse to accept the money. She sold the set to Huang Ming for fifty yuan, but only charged Liu Ying's friend thirty yuan.
Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Lin Xiaocui suddenly interjected, "Auntie went to the toilet and hasn't come back for a long time."
Lu Wanqing then realized that Zhao Xiaolan had said she was going to the restroom and had been gone for twenty minutes.
Lin Ye immediately panicked, as everyone focused their attention on him and ignored his mother.
He ran outside, blaming himself, saying he was going to look for someone.
Liu Zhengfeng grabbed him, saying, "Don't worry, she probably went to my room."
Everyone was surprised. What was going on?
Liu Zhengfeng could only give a perfunctory reply: "I saw her go in just now, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid of disturbing her."
Actually, when Lin Ye's family went to the police station to find him, he was so excited that he immediately took leave, invited them into his home, and even invited them to stay for dinner.
When Elaine Chao said she needed to go to the restroom, he led her there. Feeling it wasn't appropriate to wait at the door, he returned to the dining table.
However, his attention remained focused on Elaine Chao.
After Zhao Xiaolan finished using the restroom, she was drawn into his room by something unknown.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Zhao Xiaolan was alright.
At this crucial moment, we absolutely cannot allow anything else to go wrong.
Lu Wanqing also became alert. Zhang Guixiang doted on Lu Jiajia so much, could she have done something outrageous to her family as well?
After finishing their meal, Lin Ye and his family rode their bicycles back home.
Liu Zhengfeng then entered the room and began to stroke the most conspicuous shirt hanging on the clothes rack.
The white shirt was already a bit wrinkled from wearing it, and later, when he was arresting criminals, the sleeve tore a hole. Liu Ying almost threw it away, but he kept it like a treasure, hanging it high and touching it from time to time.
The small flower on her right chest was still blooming brightly.
After returning home, the Lin family took a nap and then went back to their busy schedules.
Lu Wanqing instructed Xueqiu to keep a close eye on Zhao Xiaolan and Lin Chunhua from now on, and to accompany them when they go out. She also told Lin Xiaocui that when she goes to school, she must go with Wang Xu or Luo Chunlei and not be alone.
Lin Xiaocui understood her intention and readily agreed.
In the evening, she went to Wang Xu to tell him about it.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as he approached the brigade headquarters, he saw Lin Gou Dan holding a bowl and saying to Wang Xu, "This little bit you gave me isn't enough for me to eat for a day! There's not a single piece of meat. How am I supposed to eat this? Go get some more!"
Wang Xu kicked the air in anger, "Lin Gou Dan, don't push your luck. I'm already being generous by giving you a bite to eat, and you're still being picky."
Ever since I gave him two rice balls last time, he's been coming to the brigade headquarters dormitory every night to beg for food.
He took a big bowl, ordered rice, and then asked for side dishes.
Chen Xiangxiu clearly felt that no matter how much food she cooked for dinner, Wang Xu seemed to be able to eat it all.
Wang Xu dared not tell his parents about such a shameful thing. He was now being morally blackmailed by Gou Dan, as if not giving Gou Dan food made him a heartless person.
Besides, Gou Dan is Lin Xiao Cui's second brother, so out of respect for her, he can't do anything to Gou Dan!
Seeing Wang Xu's helpless expression, Lin Xiaocui found it amusing and hid to the side to watch how he would handle the situation.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chunlei walked over from a short distance away, snatched the bowl from Lin Gou Dan's hand, threw it on the ground, and said coldly, "Since he dislikes it, then don't give it to him. Feeding it to stray dogs is better than giving it to him!"
Just then, after the rice bowl hit the ground, a stray dog passed by and began to eat the food heartily, occasionally barking at Wang Xu in a cooperative manner.
Seeing his food being eaten by the dog, Lin Gou Dan immediately scrambled to the ground, grabbed a bowl, and started shoving rice into it, trying to wrestle it from the dog. "Damn it, where did this mad dog come from? This is my food!"
Wang Xu stared at Luo Chunlei in disbelief, then gave him a thumbs up. "Luo Chunlei, you're amazing! He's Lin Xiaocui's second brother."
“What’s wrong with her second brother? He always bullies her. What kind of second brother is he? If you help him once, he’ll stick to you like a leech. If you can’t stand it anymore and don’t want to help him anymore, he’ll hold a grudge against you!” Luo Chunlei said.
Lin Xiaocui smiled knowingly, clapped her hands, and came over, "That's what they call 'a little kindness is appreciated, but a lot of kindness breeds resentment.' Luo Chunlei, you're quite the analyst!"
Luo Chunlei remained unfazed and continued to act cool, saying, "I'm just stating the facts."
He was actually a little shaken, but seeing Lin Xiaocui's smile, he felt relieved.
Wang Xu looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "Lin Xiaocui, your second brother comes to me for food every night, and I really can't take it anymore."
Lin Xiaocui chuckled, "You brought this on yourself. I told you before that you shouldn't have given him two rice balls."
Looking at Lin Gou Dan, who was fighting with stray dogs for food on the ground, Wang Xu stammered, "Won't this hurt his pride?"
"Dignity is not given by others."
"Dignity is something you have to earn yourself."
Luo Chunlei and Lin Xiaocui exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time.
