Big news has broken out in the family compound.
Li Dan, who had just given away her adopted daughter last week, stayed in the hospital for three days to protect her pregnancy, and then brought her back.
Moreover, she, who used to treat her adopted daughter like a maid, has now changed her ways.
Not only did his attitude change, but he also became willing to spend money on her, buying her several new clothes, all of which were the latest styles from the city's department stores!
When Liu Lai'er returned, the happiest person in the entire residential compound was undoubtedly Tian Tian.
Li Dan hoped that she could keep the baby after she returned, but Liu Dongliang didn't care, since he still had his own daughter abroad.
Fang Qiao felt sorry for the child and was willing to help her in her daily life, but that was all she could do. After all, she already had two children of her own and was pregnant with twins. There were countless pitiful children in the world, and she couldn't possibly take care of them all. She was already doing her best to mind her own business and didn't have the extra energy to take care of other people's children.
Most of the other residents in the family compound were just watching the spectacle.
The only person I genuinely like without any ulterior motives is Sweetie.
After leaving the nursery school, having just heard the news from Fang Qiao, she happily ran to Li Dan's house. Her joy at Lai'er's return had already overshadowed her dislike for Li Dan.
"Lyra, Lyra, you're back!"
Upon seeing Tian Tian, Liu Lai'er, who had been sullen, finally broke into a long-lost smile.
She nodded emphatically: "Yes, I'm back."
"So, will you still leave in the future?"
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving."
"It's so good that we're not leaving! Yay!"
The two little girls chatted, hugged each other happily, and then held hands and spun around in the yard.
"Come on, I'll take you to play jump rope! Sister Tingting taught me several rhymes, but I can't memorize them all. You have a good memory, you'll definitely be able to memorize them after listening."
Liu Lai'er played until nightfall before going home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Li Dan sitting on a bamboo recliner knitting, and she paused.
She pursed her lips, remained silent for a few seconds, then mustered her courage and stepped forward, saying, "Mom, didn't you ask me what I wanted today? I don't want a dress, and I don't want a doll. I want to go to the preschool class, to be in the same class as Tian Tian, is that okay?"
“Sure! Of course! I’ll send you to the preschool tomorrow.”
Li Dan naturally had no reason to refuse Liu Lai'er's request.
She just wants to enroll in a prenatal class; it doesn't cost much a month. As long as the child can be saved, she can go as she pleases!
The next morning, Li Dan sent Liu Lai'er to the early childhood education class, and at noon, the smell of Chinese medicine wafted through the house again.
Chen Guizhi came to visit Fang Qiao and whispered gossip: "Li Dan used to be so stingy and cruel to Liu Lai'er, treating her like a maid. But what's gotten into her these past few days? She's been buying her clothes and sending her to after-school classes."
Fang Qiao said calmly, "Who cares what gender she changed to? Isn't it good as it is now? The child doesn't have to suffer anymore."
"It's really good." Chen Guizhi sighed and said, "Liu Lai'er is a smart and sensible child. Last time, she went somewhere and picked some persimmons. There were only a few, and my Xiaowu saw them and wanted to eat them. She gave him one without hesitation. Such a good child is so lovable. Who wouldn't like her? Only Li Dan, that hard-hearted woman, sent her away as soon as she got pregnant without any remorse."
She spat and couldn't help but complain, "Look at all the despicable things she's done, she'll get her comeuppance sooner or later."
“She’s already gotten her comeuppance,” Fang Qiao said. “Otherwise, she wouldn’t have almost miscarried this time.”
As soon as Fang Qiao explained, Chen Guizhi understood: "Oh, I see. It was because of Lai'er that she had a child, but after Lai'er left, her stomach started to hurt, right?"
Fang Qiao nodded.
"I knew she was the type to only act when there's a benefit in it, and she wouldn't do anything without getting something in return. Why did she suddenly bring Lai'er back this time!" Chen Guizhi snorted. "Let's see if she dares to treat Lai'er badly again!"
Fang Qiao: "Her child was conceived through Lai'er. Lai'er was good, so the child was good. Even for the sake of the child in her womb, she dared not do it again."
Chen Guizhi agreed, saying, "That's true. After all, she had been married for five or six years and had to drink countless bowls of bitter medicine before she conceived. Having learned her lesson this time, if she dares to act recklessly again, she will only be reaping what she sowed. Lai'er has finally made it through."
