The idea of favoring boys over girls is still very serious these days. Most families abandon their girls, and no one is willing to abandon a boy, unless the child is seriously ill. Otherwise, no one would be willing to abandon a boy who can carry on the family line.
So it's no wonder that everyone would guess in this direction.
"The child is fine and healthy, except..."
The woman suddenly stopped talking here, and then burst into laughter.
One sister-in-law was anxious to know what happened next, so she tapped the woman on the arm and said, "You woman, you only speak half of your words. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
The woman laughed for a while, then stopped laughing. "Let me ask you, do you all know Zhang Laizi from our village?"
Everyone nodded in unison. "Yeah, we know each other. What's the matter? What does this have to do with Zhang Laizi?"
As soon as the question came out of everyone's mouth, the woman tried to hold back her laughter again.
She continued with a smile and breath, "I tell you, that child... that child and Zhang Laizi... are just like... just like they were cast in the same mold. I guess even if his parents were to make another one based on his image, it would be difficult to make one that looks this much alike... Hahaha..."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"No wonder the couple regretted raising such an ugly thing. They might even marry a wife in the future.
"Isn't Zhang Laizi a good example? He's already 30 years old, and he's hooking up with that young widow all day long. What a shameless pair."
"Why did I hear that Zhang Laizi seems to have found a partner recently?"
"He knew it would work out, and he also knew where to get some money. He asked someone to find him a wife, and he even said he would give him a 500 yuan betrothal gift if it worked out."
…
Su Wan felt that it was a bit unreasonable. There were no two people who looked alike in this world, and it was a bit rare to find people who were exactly ugly.
She suddenly thought of the child born to Qin Li. When she first saw the child, she thought the child was ugly and looked a bit like Zhang Laizi.
But the child had just been born at that time, and many newborns are ugly, so she didn't dare to make blind guesses.
A while ago, when they were staying in the same ward for their child's medical treatment, they knew whether Qin Li was covering up the matter intentionally or unintentionally.
Since she had never been able to see the child's face, it was difficult for her to draw any conclusions.
But in the end, Su Wan couldn't help but ask the woman one more question, "How old is the child?"
"I didn't ask at the time, but it looked like it would only take about two months at most."
Su Wan heard a click in the past two months, and the baby's month was right. She would ask around when she returned to the city and see if Qin Li's baby was still there.
In Shiqiao Village, everyone got off the oxcarts one after another. When Su Wan and Lu Chengchuan passed the door of Lu's house, they looked left and saw no one, so they quickly took out some buns and some big apples from the space.
Lu Chengchuan watched from the side with a smile on his face. It was really convenient to have a space.
He raised his head and knocked on the door. The stone that opened the door saw Lu Chengchuan at a glance and hugged him directly.
He had been clamoring to go to the city to visit his uncle for a long time. Wang Xiao'e and Wu Gang went to the city to visit him once after returning from Lu Chengchuan, but Shitou was in school at that time, so they did not bring him with them.
My family has been too busy recently, so Wu Gang has to run back and forth every day. After breakfast, he goes back to his house to prepare the dishes.
In addition to taking care of the children, Wang Xiao'e also had to work in the fields when she had time.
As soon as the weather warmed up, grass sprouted out in the fields. It had to be pulled up again and again without stopping, and it basically grew out of the house.
Seeing that Lu Chengchuan's leg healed so quickly, Wang Xiao'e even jokingly asked Su Wan what she gave him to eat.
After sitting for a while at Wang Xiao'e's house, they left. Wang Xiao'e wanted to keep them for dinner, but Su Wan refused because she knew she was busy.
Thinking of how Mrs. Su had asked her mother to bring a five-yuan gift when she gave birth, Su Wan took out two packets of snacks and a bag of big apples to visit the old couple as soon as she walked out of the Lu family's door.
Old Mrs. Su and Old Man Su watched Lu Chengchuan walk happily.
Their Su family has not had a promising person in several generations. Now that their granddaughter has found such a capable man, they feel that they are taking advantage of it. Now their attitude towards Su Wan has changed 360 degrees.
After leaving Old Lady Su's house, Su Wan went straight to her own home.
When approaching the door, Su Wan took out the food that she had prepared in advance one by one from the space.
When Xu Guixiang saw them bringing back so many things, she was almost stunned and asked them how they got them back.
As soon as the dog saw his sister, he kept asking her questions, asking her almost everything he could imagine about the battlefield.
Lu Chengchuan's answers were textbook-like and highly professional. Guang Gou was so mesmerized by them that even Xu Guixiang and Liu Ye forgot to do their work.
Su Weiguo and his two grandfathers were in the town helping to build a house and did not come back at noon.
Su Wan was also concerned about how the house was going, so she took Lu Chengchuan to town after dinner.
The foundations of the houses have been laid, and everyone in the town is renovating their houses. It seems that everyone is busy and ready to become the first batch of self-employed individuals.
They stopped in the town for a while. Su Wan didn't dare to stay there because she had two children at home, so they took the bus to the county and went back.
There were a lot of people on the bus and all the seats had been taken. Lu Chengchuan was afraid that someone would squeeze Su Wan, so he stretched out his two arms, one holding the hanging ring on the bus and the other holding the back of the seat, forming a semi-circle to protect Su Wan in the middle.
After standing for a while, someone got off the bus. Seeing an empty seat, Lu Chengchuan hurriedly stepped forward, holding the back of the seat with both hands. When he turned around and was about to call Su Wan to come and sit, a figure suddenly came over and sat down.
"Zhou Xue, come here quickly, I'll grab a seat for you."
