"Go on, how can you be so sure that the pregnant woman you saw was Li Huan's?"
"You all know that my brother lives in the south of the city. Whenever I have time, I go over to see him and his family. One time, I happened to see Zhang Chunmei holding a small bag and handing it to a woman."
"I hid aside and watched, wondering how Zhang Chunmei could come here. I'd never heard of her having any relatives here. Guess what I heard?"
"Why don't you just say what you want to say? Hurry up, people are freezing to death." If he hadn't been reluctant to part with this gossip, he would have gone home long ago.
"Hey, how come you have no patience at all? Why are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't you just speak slowly and bit by bit?"
"Oh my god, please tell me quickly. I'm so anxious."
"Haha, okay, okay, I'll tell you right away. I heard from that bitch Zhang Chunmei that the child is given to your family. I'm warning you not to let your son harass my daughter, or I'll sue your son for hooliganism."
"I guess Li Huan must have been having an affair with someone else, and when she got pregnant, it was difficult to abort the baby, so she gave birth to the child somewhere where no one knew them, and then gave the child to the man's family."
"Ah! Then why don't you just get married? How can you find a good partner in the future after this?"
"That's not necessarily true. The Xiao Cao they found later was much nicer."
"Don't interrupt me, just continue."
"What a coincidence, isn't it? That guy's house is right next door to my brother's. If not right next door, then maybe two or three doors away."
"Let me guess, that young man must be from a poor family, otherwise why wouldn't he marry after having a child?"
"Hey, you're right. That young man's family is very poor. There are more than 20 people in the family living in a small courtyard. There are only two people in the family who earn a salary. They can be considered the poorest family in the area."
"That family had a son who was like a gangster. He didn't have a job and just spent his days idling. To prevent him from going to the countryside, almost all the children in the family went there."
"I said that Li Huan, who always dresses up and goes out in flashy clothes, is not a serious girl. Do you think I was right?"
"Don't interrupt me, listen to me. I stayed at my brother's house until dark that day and wanted to know what happened next. That family is ridiculous. They brought home a child and said they adopted him."
"No one believes this. That family is struggling to make ends meet, so how could they possibly help raise someone else's child? I guess that child is Li Huansheng, and it's a boy."
"I think if it's a girl, then the child will be unlucky. Only a boy can be taken home to raise."
"Oh my god, this is really true. No wonder she was so anxious to frame Xiao Cao and wanted to marry her. If others knew about her, who would marry her?"
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Even if I say it, will anyone believe me? Besides, that woman is not easy to mess with."
"No, I don't understand. What does that have to do with Li Huan wanting a divorce?"
"Oh, I can't understand this. Li Huan won't be able to have children in the future. Who would want a daughter-in-law like her? Now that Xiao Cao hasn't found a divorce yet, she can marry the child's biological father. At least when she gets old, won't she have children to support her in her old age?"
"Don't tell me, it seems to be the case."
"Bah, it's as if all the cunning people belong to their family. They don't know how to handle the Cao family."
"It's not good. Who can swallow this? The person hasn't been found yet, and here they have lost their child and are getting divorced. Even if Xiao Cao is fine, this matter is really disgusting."
"You're wrong. If Xiao Cao is alright, it would be a blessing in disguise. Who can live a good life with someone like Li Huan?"
"You're right. That damn girl is not a good person. She relies on her uncle who is the factory director. There is simply no one she can look up to."
"I feel sorry for Xiao Cao. Even if this person is gone, it shouldn't be so difficult to find his body. I see that Lao Cao's wife's hair has turned white."
"How can I not be sad? I've been raising that eldest son, and now he's gone just like that."
"Hey, stop talking. Look, is that Zhang Chunmei and our Factory Director Zhang?"
"It's them. Okay, stop talking about it. That bitch Zhang Chunmei really holds a grudge."
The woman who had just said that Li Huan had a child quickly reminded him, "I won't admit what I just said. Don't implicate me later."
"Don't worry, we just heard it from people we don't know. Okay, okay, let's go. It's freezing cold out here. I have to go home and warm up."
"It's not very good. It's snowing heavily and the weather is very cold this year. I'm going back too."
"I'm going back too. We haven't eaten yet at home."
Seeing Zhang Chunmei coming, the group of people dispersed in an instant. Chen Ye also walked outside with the crowd, just like a passerby, and was not noticeable at all. In addition, they were wrapped up tightly in winter, so it was impossible to recognize who was who.
Chen Ye walked slowly, and soon Zhang Chunmei and Zhang Tiechui passed by her. Zhang Chunmei's voice could be heard in the wind.
"Thank you so much for your help this time, big brother. Huanhuan is such a pitiful child. He lost his almost seven-month-old baby. He will have to rely on that child for his retirement in the future."
"Brother, you have to take this seriously. That child can't be without a job. Otherwise, how are we going to support Huanhuan and the child in the future?"
"Brother, you can't just ignore her. Huanhuan is your niece and has been close to you since she was a child."
Zhang Tiechui sighed. His sister could never have a peaceful day, but what could he do? He only had this one sister. If he didn't take care of her, who would?
A sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of Chen Ye's mouth under her scarf. It was Zhang Tiechui's attitude that cultivated Zhang Chunmei's lawless character. Did she think that with an older brother around, she could become the queen?
But Li Huan is really amazing. She can't wait these few days. Before she finds her current husband, she can't wait to make plans for her future. She plans to marry that gangster. But this is a good thing! The result is better than she expected.
It was already dark when he returned home. Chen Ye opened the door and hurried to check the stove, hoping that there was no fire, otherwise the house would not be warm for a while.
After the ash under the stove cleared, the fire covered by coal suddenly started burning. Chen Ye nodded with satisfaction. As long as the fire was not extinguished, the temperature in the room would not be too low.
Take out a piece of meat and put it on the rice, then steam it directly on the stove. When the rice is cooked, the meat will be heated up as well. The broth will flow into the rice and it smells delicious. Add some pickles and it will be a meal for Chen Ye.
I reviewed this operation again to see if there were any loopholes. Only after the review did I truly breathe a sigh of relief.
