He said, "How do you know that's the eldest brother?"

Zhu Heping was stunned by the question, but he quickly got to the point, "That must be Brother Ji. He came to the capital to see his wife, right?"

Zhu Yaowu put away the book and said, "What's the point of guessing like this? Why don't you ask your sister-in-law when you see her? Or you can call your eldest brother."

Zhu Heping felt that it was unnecessary, but seeing the meaningful look in his second brother's eyes, he felt that there was something going on. After thinking about it, he decided to call his eldest brother first.

After all, he is no longer the eldest brother, but the second brother reminded him to call, so there must be other reasons.

The call was made at night. Zhu Weidong happened to be in the camp. When he answered the phone, he didn't even notice any nervousness.

"Everything is alright at home?"

"Brother, you call home every day, right? Do we still need to be so polite to ask how your family is doing?" Zhu Heping replied, and then asked directly, "So you didn't come back, then I know."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Weidong felt something was wrong.

"Ah, during the day, someone came to school to look for my sister-in-law. A girl thought the guy was pretty and wanted to get to know him. She came to me. My second brother and I thought it was you who came back, but now it seems we were wrong."

"Looking for your sister-in-law? What does she look like?" Zhu Weidong narrowed his eyes.

"How would I know? I'm calling you to confirm if it's you."

"Then ask your sister-in-law and then tell me." Zhu Weidong ordered directly.

Zhu Heping agreed and hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone, he felt something was wrong. He thought, is it necessary to tell my eldest brother if someone comes to see my sister-in-law? But since he has agreed, forget it.

Ji Ling saw Zhu Heping the next morning. When she saw him coming to look for her, she thought something happened at home.

Zhu Heping smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, everything is fine at home, Niuniu is also fine, I just came to talk to you about something else."

When Ji Ling knew why he came, she smiled, "You have seen him before. It's Rong Junjie. He knew the flower he sent me died, so he sent me another one."

Hearing that it was Rong Junjie, Zhu Heping smiled, "He is indeed very good-looking, no wonder some women fell in love with him at first sight."

"It's okay to ask for his contact information, but I have to confirm first whether he has a girlfriend." Ji Ling also found it quite interesting. In this day and age, there are not many girls who take the initiative.

"Forget it. He looks about the same age as my eldest brother, has a job, and his family is well off. How could he not have a girlfriend?" Zhu Heping refused as soon as he heard that it was Rong Junjie. "Anyway, someone else found me through many connections. I can just say that he has a girlfriend."

If someone asks for your contact information and something goes wrong, you will be blamed as well.

Zhu Heping is still very careful about these things.

Ji Ling nodded, "Okay."

She also asked, "I'll go to see mom at noon. I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I'll go back to the compound. Do you have classes in the afternoon?"

"No class." Zhu Heping smiled, "Sister-in-law, let's take you there at noon."

"No, if you don't have classes you must have other things to do. I can go back by myself. Don't bother."

Zhu Heping didn't say anything polite. The class bell rang again and the two of them parted ways.

At noon, Ji Ling went to the hospital. Kong Siya was surprised to see her daughter-in-law coming. She said a few more words to the nurse and took her to her office.

"You don't have classes in the afternoon?" Kong Siya made a cup of honey water and handed it over. "It's warm, just right for drinking now."

Ji Ling took it and drank it in small sips, "Mom, I have something to do here."

Kong Siya sat down and said, "Tell me what you want to say slowly. It's okay. I'll take care of everything."

Ji Ling felt warm in her heart, and felt that her anxiety these days was useless. She should have discussed this matter with her mother-in-law a long time ago.

She told him about her pregnancy, "I went to have my blood drawn and I'm pregnant."

Ji Ling nodded awkwardly.

"Well, then you don't want this child?" Kong Siya asked after careful consideration.

Ji Ling, "Now it's not about whether I want to have a child or not, but family planning. Each family can only have one child."

"This policy exists, but not everyone has to do this."

Ji Ling looked up at her mother-in-law and saw her nodding. She thought it was just as she guessed. Her mother-in-law actually encouraged her to have a second child! !

"I thought about talking to you and taking some measures before, but then I thought about how Niuniu is still young and Weidong is not at home most of the time, so I thought she wouldn't get pregnant." Kong Siya said, "In fact, if we pay the fine and find someone, it's okay for us to have a second child, but it's still up to you to decide whether to have one or not."

Kong Siya stood up and said, "I'll take you to check first."

Ji Ling followed her mother-in-law to get checked in a daze. After the examination, she heard her mother-in-law say that the child was fine, and the two stood in the corridor and talked.

"Xiaoling, you have to think about this yourself. Don't worry. There is still time." Kong Siya said, "Don't put any psychological burden on yourself. And you have to discuss this with Weidong. After all, it is your child."

Ji Ling nodded, and then saw Zhu Yaowu and Zhu Heping waiting for her, and she knew that it was her mother-in-law who called them over.

On the way back to the compound, none of the three spoke, especially Ji Ling, who sat in the back very quietly.

When we returned to the compound, Niu Niu was just awake.

He was very happy to see his mother and asked for a hug with a smile.

Ji Ling was holding her daughter. Old Mrs. Zhu was sitting beside her. She also knew about it and was of course happy, but it was up to Xiaoling to decide whether to do it or not.

When Ji Ling carried her daughter back upstairs and coaxed the child to sleep, the phone in the bedroom rang.

Ji Ling didn't answer, but she guessed who it was. She was silent for a while before answering the phone.

The two haven't spoken on the phone since Zhu Weidong left last time.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Ji Ling suddenly became angry and was about to hang up the phone when Zhu Weidong's voice rang out from the other end.

"Xiaoling."

Ji Ling hesitated for a while as she was about to hang up the phone before putting the phone back to her ear.

She said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Weidong's breathing slowed down a bit when he heard the cold and distant voice.

He smiled and said, "Still angry?"

Still angry?

Shouldn't I be angry? Ji Ling asked, "Angry? What are you angry about?"

Since he was playing dumb, she might as well play dumb too.

"Xiaoling, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive that day. I regretted it after I came back and couldn't muster up the courage to call you."

"I don't understand what you are talking about? When did it happen?"

"During this period, I missed you every day. I even wanted to drop everything and run back to apologize to you in person." Zhu Weidong paused, "There is nothing between Song Yiyi and me. I asked her to do that thing that day."
