"Aunt Xu also said that the person they found didn't look like he was when he was little. Aunt Xie almost got into a fight with Aunt Xu when she heard that."
"Aunt Xie insisted that it was her biological son and that she wouldn't mistake him."
Chen Ye was curious: "This happened so many years ago, how could Aunt Xu remember what she looked like when she was a child?" Aunt Xu seemed to be a generation younger than Aunt Xie.
I don’t know if she really thought so or was just talking nonsense, but Aunt Xu’s mouth is not good.
"But my mother-in-law said maybe she really does remember. Back then, all the children in the village were put together. Aunt Xu was already in her teens at that time. Who knows, maybe she can still remember what Aunt Xie's children looked like."
Chen Ye thought for a moment, wondering if the recognition of relatives was too much of a coincidence.
There are also five new educated youth who act too ostentatiously and overbearingly. Usually, educated youth would be cautious and test the waters at first, but these few are very different from the previous ones.
The words she spoke out were different from what she was thinking: "Maybe people have changed over the decades. How did Aunt Xie know for sure that it was her son? Did he come back alone? At his age, he must have a family to support."
The second girl shook her head: "Not really, he just came back alone, saying that there was no one left at his adoptive father's house, and his adoptive parents treated him badly, so he never got married."
"I seem to have heard before that Aunt Xie's child had a black birthmark the size of a date on his calf. It seems that Aunt Xie believed that the man was her lost son because of this."
Chen Ye nodded: "I've heard about it too," as if this was not a secret at all. Everyone in the village knew about it, but she had no idea whether people from other villages knew about it.
The second girl didn't think it was fake: "Well, Aunt Xie's life is not easy either. Who can trick Aunt Xie into being her son? There is no benefit in it."
"That's true," it's hard to say. Maybe their purpose is not Aunt Xie's property. Of course, this is just her guess.
"Okay, you've been sitting for a long time. Do you want to lie down for a while?" Every time she saw the second girl's big belly, she would get nervous.
"Your belly is so big, aren't you pregnant with two?" Chen Ye asked again. This had become what he had to say every time he saw the second girl.
"Haha, that's not the case. My mother-in-law was worried too. She took me to the county hospital a while ago. The doctor said that it was because I was well cared for and had a big body that my belly looked bigger than others. But there was only one baby inside."
"Then you didn't plan to give birth in the county hospital?"
She seemed to have read the popular science that if the fetus is too large, it will be very dangerous for pregnant women to give birth. If there is an accident during childbirth in the village, it will be too late to rush to the hospital, just like what happened to her biological mother.
The second girl waved her hand carelessly: "Hey, how many of us are so wasteful as to go to the hospital to give birth? Aren't they all fine?"
"Don't worry, I'm definitely fine. Grandma Meng checked me out and said I'm fine. I'm sure I'll have a smooth delivery."
"Oh, have you asked Grandma Meng to take a look?" The old lady would not act rashly now, saying that she was too old and lacked accuracy.
"Well, everyone said my belly was too big, and my mother-in-law was worried, so she and my mother took me to Grandma Meng's house to let Grandma Meng take a look. She thought that if things really didn't work out, we could go to the hospital to give birth."
"That's good, that's good. I don't understand this either. I just feel that your belly is bigger than others and I'm a little worried." Was she accidentally causing anxiety to the second girl?
The second girl laughed and patted Chen Ye's hand: "I know you care about me, don't worry, I'm open-minded and won't think too much."
The main reason is that she has been living a happy life since she got married, and her mentality is even better than before. Her mother-in-law said that they will separate after her child turns one year old to avoid the noise of the whole family living together.
Who would want to live with a large family if they could be the head of their own household? Their family is pretty good, at most they would say a few sarcastic words when talking to each other. Some families would have fights every few days, which is even more annoying to watch.
Chen Ye looked at the second girl's face, which had become fatter. It was full of happiness without a trace of sadness. She looked more relaxed than before she got married.
She was also happy for Erya, as she felt that she had finally gotten her happy ending after all the hardships she had endured.
"How is things at my parents' home?" When the second girl first got married, she wanted to go back to her parents' home three times a day.
"That's good. The third and fourth girls may have done it. I think there's no difference from before I got married. Xiaowu has grown up now and is a lot stronger. In a few years, he will be able to take care of the family."
It seemed like the most difficult time had passed. As long as they worked hard, their family would be no different from other families. She was no longer like when she first got married, thinking about going back to her parents' home all day long and feeling uneasy if she didn't visit.
"That's great. If you need anything, just come find me. You should get some rest. I'll be back first. I'll come see you after you give birth."
Chen Ye quickly stopped the second girl who was about to get up to see her out: "Alright, it's not like I don't know the way and I don't need you to send me out. Just be obedient and stay at home honestly. After you give birth to the baby, you can go out for a walk."
"Okay, then I won't see you off. Just come and talk to me if you have nothing to do."
"Okay, I'll come see you when I'm alright."
After talking a few more words to the second girl's mother-in-law, Chen Ye walked out of the Li family's gate. This was why she didn't want to visit anyone else. You have to deal with everyone you see, which is tiring.
When Chen Ye came out, she saw Shuanzhu waiting for her: "Why didn't you call me? Why are you just waiting outside like this?"
After the National Day holiday, the weather in Northeast China has been getting colder day by day. The wind is blowing so hard, and this silly boy is still standing in the wind. Is he stupid?
"Hey, I just came here a while ago. I wanted you to talk to my sister Erya more. I'm not cold at all, really. If you don't believe me, just touch my hand and you'll see it's warm."
Chen Ye took the tied hand and walked towards home, but neither of them walked fast. Chen Ye wanted to see if he could meet any new strangers in the village.
"Sister, have you heard about what happened at Aunt Xie's house?"
"Why, you also know about this? Have you met Aunt Xie's son?"
Shuanzhu nodded: "I've seen him. He looks like the new educated youth. He looks pretty fierce."
"Oh, how fierce? Did they scold you?" She would definitely not let it go if anyone dared to bully her brother for no reason.
"No, it's just that just one look at them makes the hair on my body stand up. It's scary."
This kid has the instinct of an animal: "Then don't get close to those people, stay away from them." What if they are really bad guys, what if they are hurt and tied up?
