Chapter 166: Good people are often let down

Mother Xu paused and interrupted her eldest grandson, "It's not a sister, Jindan, your mother is pregnant with a boy, and you will have a brother in the future."

When Wu Fangyun heard her mother-in-law's words, the smile on her face stopped instantly. Although she also wanted a boy, the child was not yet formed, so she didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.

The mother-in-law insisted that it was a boy. Wu Fangyun always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and looked at her man.

Xu Dajun also responded cheerfully: "Jindan, your grandma is right, your mom is pregnant with a little brother. You will have a little brother in the future. Are you happy?"

Xu Jindan was not happy at all. When his younger brother came, he would be ignored. Just like the eldest sister, everyone would only look at his younger brother, leaving him to eat cold rice with an empty stomach.

He burst into tears and said, "I don't want it. I don't want a brother. I don't want my mother to have a baby."

Xu Jindan was a child, so he said whatever he wanted, "I don't want a younger brother, and I want him not to come to our house."

Although it was just the innocent words of a child, the faces of Xu's mother and Xu Dajun darkened. Looking at Xu Jindan, this precious child, it was the first time that Xu Dajun had harmed a child.

"Don't cry, why are you crying? Why doesn't your brother come? Your mother will give you a brother in a few months."

After all, he was the first boy in the Xu family, so Xu's mother took care of him for a while. Seeing her grandson so sad that his nose was about to run, Xu's mother couldn't bear it anymore and held the golden egg to protect him.

I couldn't help but excuse my grandson, "Jindan is still young, what he said was unintentional. Dajun, don't be so angry, it's easy to scare the child."

Wu Fangyun covered her stomach and looked at her son's fierce eyes in fear. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, "The army, the army."

Xu Dajun also saw the look in his son's eyes, which was very scary. He couldn't help but slap him directly, "Why are you so unhappy? Your grandma loves you enough. Look at your eyes, do you want to eat me?"

The Xu family started to make noise again. Today is Chinese New Year, but no one expected the Xu family to be so noisy and noisy. Their neighbors across the street started to get annoyed in the morning, and finally they couldn't stand it anymore.

The woman didn't even put down the things in her hands. She ignored the man's obstruction and started yelling at the Xu family: "You're quarreling so early in the morning. If you want to quarrel, go outside and quarrel."

Xu Dajun is a person who cares about his reputation. His face turned red and white as he gave gifts and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The woman was angry but had no place to vent. "You should take good care of yourself at home and stop making noises all the time. You are not the only one living in this building."

When Xu's mother saw that her son was wronged, she became unhappy and rolled up her sleeves to start a quarrel. Fortunately, Xu Dajun intervened and a quarrel was avoided.

Chu Sangning didn't care about the Xu family's affairs at all. She ate dumplings at noon. Her aunt and uncle were busy in the kitchen, the two fathers were making tea, and Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning were sitting aside eating melon seeds.

They were all children in their parents' eyes. They didn't need to worry about such a big thing as the New Year. While the two of them were eating melon seeds, Jiang Xingyan also peeled an orange and said, "Eat some oranges. Eating too many melon seeds will make you thirsty."

Chu Sangning chewed the orange in his hand and asked, "Why didn't you let me speak just now?"

Jiang Xingyan paused when he thought about what had just happened. He thought for a while before organizing his words. He understood the kindness of the little girl, but kind people are often let down.

Xu Nier is a little girl. When she was hungry, instead of looking for her parents, why did she come to the first floor to look for Chu Sangning?

Perhaps because Chu Sangning had given her candy and a piece of cloth before, Xu Nier believed that she was a good person.

Do good people get good rewards? Jiang Xingyan thought maybe yes, maybe not. Xu Dajun was a father who didn't care about his children, but Wu Fangyun was very good to Xu Nier.

Why has Xu Nier been hungry every day since she became pregnant?

Ultimately, it was because of her parents' inaction. Jiang Xingyan knew that he could help her temporarily but not forever, so he stopped the little girl from talking too much.

They are neither Xu Nier's biological parents nor her relatives, so it is impossible for them to help her forever.

However, Jiang Xingyan did not say any of this to Chu Sangning, and said calmly: "We can't help her forever."

Chu Sangning thought for a while and finally came to her senses. Her thoughts were too fixed. She always thought Xu Nier was just a child who had not eaten in such a cold weather, so she felt sympathy for her.

But at this time, in this situation, children also have to work. Xu Nier is only five or six years old, and she can often be seen wiping tables and mopping the floor at home.

"You are right."

The two of them discussed for a few sentences and then changed the topic. At noon, they sat together and had a good meal of dumplings.

Thousands of miles away in Changxing Village, Lin Xiuzhi also made dumplings. This was perhaps the first time she celebrated the New Year without thinking about her little son.

Knowing that Sang Ning was also in the army, Lin Xiuzhi was overwhelmed with joy.

Thinking that good things would be settled on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xiuzhi would wake up laughing in her dreams, and even showed her teeth when eating. Jiang's father couldn't help but remind her when he saw it.

"Okay, the happiness will be over in two days. Why are you so happy about Brother Yan's wedding?"

Lin Xiuzhi retorted unconvincedly, "You old man, you're still blaming me. Weren't you also so happy that you couldn't sleep the other day?"

Don't talk about half a catty and eight ounces, they are both the same.

After dinner, Lin Xiuzhi hurried out to find a matchmaker. She changed into a festive red dress and asked her daughter-in-law to find half a pound of pork. She held a piece of money in her hand and went to the matchmaker's house happily.

Many people came out along the way and saw Lin Xiuzhi's happy look. They asked curiously, "Xingyan Niang, what are you doing?"

"My brother Jiayan is getting engaged, so I'm going to ask the matchmaker to choose a good date for the wedding."

"Oh, congratulations, is it to Chu Zhiqing?"

Lin Xiuzhi's mouth was almost curled up to her forehead. "Who else could it be if not Sang Ning? I have decided that Sang Ning will be my daughter-in-law."

"Sang Ning is beautiful and well-educated. I even think that my brother Jia Yan is not good enough for her."

When Lin Xiuzhi said this, many people in the village joked, "You are really biased. People who don't know you would think you are Chu Zhiqing's biological mother."

"That's right. When Sang Ning gets married, I'll have another sweet little quilt."

The news of Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning's engagement spread through the people in the village, and basically every household knew about it. When Pan Wenlan went out to bask in the sun while the weather was warm,

A few gossipers tried to sow discord, "Wenlan, they are all educated youth. Your mother-in-law said that she should treat Chu Zhiqing as her own daughter."

"Yes, we all heard it clearly. How can you tolerate this?"
