Before leaving, Yu Yao went inside and took out five catties of dried squid, twenty bird's nests, and some snacks she had been keeping to herself lately.
"Mom, let's go to the food factory first and give these things to Qiaoqiao."
Wu Wanying naturally had no objections.
When they arrived at the food factory, the security guard greeted Yu Yao happily. He even glanced behind her and, upon learning that Lu Ze hadn't come, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
No one plays chess with him anymore.
Knowing that Yu Yao had come to see Fang Qiaoqiao, the security guard told Yu Yao to rest in the security room and sent another guard to call for her.
Before long, Fang Qiaoqiao came running out, and when she saw Yu Yao, she ran even faster.
Running up to the two of them, Fang Qiaoqiao greeted Wu Wanying first, then grabbed Yu Yao's hand and shook it back and forth, "A Yao, I haven't seen you in so long, I've missed you so much. You have no idea how lonely I've been without you, I don't even enjoy my lunch anymore."
As she spoke, she solemnly spun around in front of Yu Yao, "Look at me, I've lost weight. It's all because I've been missing you."
Yu Yao smiled and took the food out of the car pocket and gave it to her. "This is your compensation. After you finish eating this, you will definitely gain weight."
"Oh my god, Yao really understands me the best. So many delicious treats, all my favorites." Fang Qiaoqiao hugged the snacks and was as happy as a 200-pound fat person.
It was working hours, and Fang Qiaoqiao couldn't leave the thermometer for too long. Yu Yao gave her the thermometer and told her to come visit her at the family compound on the weekend before leaving.
When we arrived at the dock, it was only 3:50. The ship was delayed and had not yet arrived.
Seeing that many fishing boats were unloading their catch at the dock, Yu Yao and Wu Wanying parked their bags on the open ground outside the dock and went to buy fish.
Yu Yao is naturally beautiful with fair skin. No matter how much sun she gets on the island, her skin will return to its original whiteness after a while.
She was wearing a bright green dress and stood out in the crowd.
Mu Hehe accompanied Lu Yunqi's mother, Su Ya, to the dock to buy things, but unexpectedly ran into Yu Yao.
Su Ya initially disliked her sister-in-law Yu Yao, but since Yu Yao and her husband were doing well on the island thanks to Lu Ze's help, she still put on a smile despite her dislike and was about to go up and say hello.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, Yu Yao smelled a strong muttony odor, and her stomach immediately churned, feeling uncontrollably nauseous. "Don't come any closer! Ugh~"
Wu Wanying nervously supported her and quickly took a sour plum from her pocket and put it into Yu Yao's mouth.
The strong sour smell suppressed the nausea, and Yu Yao felt a little better, but her face was very pale.
Su Ya, being an experienced person, guessed the reason as soon as she saw Yu Yao's posture.
"You're pregnant? That's really lucky." Su Ya said with a hint of envy.
Their family has fallen on hard times, but Yu Yao is living so well and is pregnant with Lu Ze's child. Who knows how much the Lu family will value her in the future?
Yu Yao chewed on a sour plum without answering, but her expression said it all.
Upon hearing Su Ya's words, Mu Hehe was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and looked at Yu Yao's stomach in disbelief.
There was a slight bulge there, and if Su Ya hadn't pointed it out, Mu Hehe would have thought that Yu Yao had gained weight.
She's pregnant? How is that possible? Isn't Lu Ze infertile?
Could it be that the child in Yu Yao's belly isn't Lu Ze's?
Mu Hehe was startled by this idea, and the way she looked at Yu Yao changed.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yao, who seemed honest, was cheating on Lu Ze with someone else.
I wonder if Lu Ze will regret choosing Yu Yao so firmly after he finds out that she has cheated on him and is pregnant with another man's child.
She was the one who was reborn, yet she lived a life full of misfortunes, while Yu Yao, this country bumpkin, not only became the commander's wife but also became more and more radiant.
I wonder if she'll still be able to laugh when the truth is revealed.
Mu Hehe felt a mixture of schadenfreude and jealousy, her expression twisting in a grimace. However, after being released from prison, she learned to feign it.
She smiled and asked Yu Yao with concern, "This is Uncle's first child, Auntie, you must take good care of yourself. We just ate mutton, and we smell of mutton on us, so we won't disturb Auntie's shopping."
With that, he pulled Suya away.
Yu Yao didn't want to talk to them anymore. Since Mu Hehe had left sensibly, she was happy to relax.
Wu Wanying saw everything and felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, Zhizhi was arranged to marry another man; otherwise, encountering such a mother-in-law would have been a curse rather than a blessing.
This little incident did not dampen Yu Yao and Wu Wanying's interest in strolling around the pier. The two bought a lot of fresh ingredients at the pier, and only left reluctantly when the ship was about to arrive.
At 4:45, a ship from Guangdong Province slowly docked, and passengers with large and small bags disembarked one after another.
Yu Yao had already seen Hu Lingyu and pointed to her to show Wu Wanying, "Mom is over there."
“It is indeed my mother-in-law.” Wu Wanying instructed, “Zhizhi, there are many people here, so you stay here. Mom will go and greet your mother-in-law.”
Yu Yao waited patiently in a less crowded area, without trying to squeeze in.
Wu Wanying walked up to Hu Lingyu, called her "mother-in-law," and then helped her carry her luggage to meet up with Yu Yao.
Yu Yao helped them move the things onto the sidewalk and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Mom, why did you bring so much stuff? You must be exhausted after traveling by boat all the way here." Yu Yaoying looked at the two sacks on the vehicle, then glanced at the basket on Hu Lingyu's back, feeling a pang of sympathy.
Hu Lingyu said nonchalantly, "These two sacks contain things that you and the baby can use. They look like a lot, but they're actually not very heavy. Only my backpack is a little heavier. I put them on the boat as soon as we got on, so it's fine."
That being said, she is, after all, quite old, and it's easy to imagine how tiring it must have been for her to carry so many things and run up and down the stairs all the way.
Wu Wanying, as a mother, saw this and was deeply moved. It was Zhizhi's good fortune that her in-laws valued her so much.
"Mother-in-law, have some water." Wu Wanying took out a military water bottle and handed it to Hu Lingyu.
Hu Lingyu took it and drank a few sips. "It's peppermint water, right? It's really refreshing to drink this in this weather."
Wu Wanying smiled and said, "My mother-in-law has a keen sense of smell. When we first moved into the yard, Yu Yao and I saw some by the roadside when we went up the mountain, so we dug up a few and planted them in the corner of the wall. Now they've grown into a huge patch. We're so grateful for them this summer; otherwise, we would have gotten sick."
The three rested for a while and then drove the sidecar back to their residential compound.
Meanwhile, Mu Hehe and Su Ya also returned to Changqiao Brigade, where they had been sent to the countryside for reform.
As soon as they got home, Mu Hehe pulled Lu Yunqi into the room. "Do you know who I ran into at the dock with Mom today?"
Lu Yunqi's expression changed. There were only so many people you could encounter on this island. "You've run into Yu Yao?"
“It’s her.” Mu Hehe nodded, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry as she looked at Lu Yunqi. “Yu Yao is pregnant, and it’s my uncle’s.”
Lu Yunqi's brow twitched, and he shouted, "Impossible!"
