Chapter 80
Because Liao Zhu and Qi Liangsheng were both very determined, and their families also supported their peaceful breakup, they got their divorce certificate the day after Liao Gang and his family arrived at the family compound and became complete strangers.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can write to me." Holding the divorce certificate in his hand, Qi Liangsheng felt very complicated, at least he was not as relaxed as Liao Zhu.
Liao Zhu glanced at him and said, "It's better not to do that. Since you're divorced, there should be no contact. Captain Qi, I advise you to go see a doctor and stop harming other girls."
Qi Liangsheng's eyes widened when he heard this. She actually said such a thing.
What's the point of saying such angry words at this time? It's obvious that she can't have children.
The two broke up peacefully, but it ended in an ugly way.
But this did not affect the mood of the Liao family.
Several people from the Liao family invited Yu Yao and Chen Chen's families to have a meal at a state-owned hotel. Of course, they were all friends and did not eat any unconventional fish or meat.
After dinner, Liao Gang and his friends talked to Yu Yao about the recent arrangements of the pickle factory. The Beijing factory is now on the right track and is showing signs of surpassing Guangzhou.
Because the demand is greater in the north, especially in winter, the shelf life of things can be longer, which can also promote the sales of pickles.
Negotiations have already begun in Shanghai. If all goes well, the factory construction will begin next month. By then, the three places will work together and the pickle factory will get better and better.
Yu Yao is relatively satisfied with the current situation, but she knows that people still need to make continuous progress, and she has to motivate them.
"I have already started planning for another snack factory, but because of the variety and popularity of snacks, I can't rush this matter. I will probably start implementing the plan the year after next. Everyone cheer up, I believe everything will get better and better."
Several people understood what Yu Yao meant, which was that the snack factory would cooperate with them in the future, and they were all very happy.
Although everyone is very poor these days, various snacks are as expensive as meat and not affordable for ordinary people.
If they were asked to plan it, they would definitely not plan a snack factory, but they have all seen Yu Yao's ability, so no one doubts what she says.
After all, Yu Yao would need more than a year to prepare, and she usually paid attention to the market. She believed that the same was true for making snacks. If she found that the market did not need snacks, she would give up on her own without them telling her. So when Yu Yao proposed this idea, no one raised any objection.
"We will definitely do our best. Thank you Comrade Yu Yao for taking care of Ah Zhu these days. We will definitely come to Guangzhou again when we have time."
Yu Yao nodded and agreed, "There will be a chance."
After finishing the meal, the next day Liao Zhu followed the Liao family and left the family compound where she had lived for several years.
However, she did not feel any reluctance, but instead felt relieved. She had a premonition that a new life would be waiting for her.
In the first few days after she left, people all over the family compound were still talking about the gossip about her and Qi Liangsheng, but it wasn't long before the gossip was replaced by the news that Qi Liangsheng was looking for a wife.
Of course, his daughter-in-law was chosen by Qi's mother.
But what surprised them was that not many people in the family compound were willing to introduce their younger generations to Qi Liangsheng.
Neither of them knew it, but Yu Yao saw it clearly.
Logically speaking, Captain Qi is in his twenties, which is considered to be a golden age in this era. Even if it is his second marriage, there should be many young girls rushing towards him.
There is no telling how many girls of marriageable age like You Ling are living in the family compound now. They and their families do not look down on Captain Qi, but they know that Qi's mother is a difficult person. It is true that she wants to marry into a wealthy family, but she also wants to live a good life. Who would like to have a wicked mother-in-law who makes trouble every day at home?
Another point is about Qi Liangsheng's inability to have children. Although it seems that it was concluded in the end that Liao Zhu had lost the child, what if? What if it was Qi Liangsheng who was unable to have children? Wouldn't they be pushing their young generation into the fire pit?
With this in mind, they would of course still be willing to wait and see if there are any suitable unmarried men of the right age.
So after Qi's mother had been complaining for several days without any results, she slowly began to look outside the family compound, and she actually found a few blind date candidates for Qi Liangsheng.
But after meeting a few of them, either Qi Liangsheng was dissatisfied, or the other party backed out after hearing about the Qi family's affairs.
"Son, why don't you tell me what kind of person you want? We have to have some conditions before we choose, right?" Although Qi's mother thought her son was good in every way, others didn't think so. It's not easy to find a blind date partner.
Qi Liangsheng didn't say anything. He was indeed not satisfied with the few women he met these days. Those women were not as pretty as Liao Zhu, nor as considerate as Liao Zhu. Either their families were a mess, or they had a lot of conditions.
Whenever he saw those people, he couldn't help but compare them with Liao Zhu.
The result of the comparison was that he was not only dissatisfied, but also in a bad mood.
He couldn't find someone worse than Liao Zhu, wouldn't others laugh at him? He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart either.
However, he couldn't find a satisfactory one, and he became a little anxious. He couldn't help but feel sorry. If only Liao Zhu could have children, why didn't he take her to the hospital for another check-up? What if she could be cured?
But it was no use saying all this, he went on blind dates again and again.
That day, Yu Yao came back from the clinic and prepared to make a new snack.
As a result, just as she was about to knead the dough, Chen Chen came to find her.
"Ah Yao, this is my roommate in the cultural troupe, her name is Chen Meiqi. She ate the peanut candy you made before and liked it very much. I'm afraid I can't make it well. Can you give me some guidance?"
"Of course, come in first."
The method of making peanut candy is no longer a secret in the family courtyard, but most families are used to being frugal and are reluctant to add sugar or oil, so that the final taste is always a little bit off.
Yu Yao just helped Chen Chen to watch the amount of these materials she used.
Chen Chen’s cooking skills are not that good, but making this simple peanut candy is not difficult for her.
Probably because of the talk with Su Lin, Chen Chen seemed a lot more cheerful than before, and Chen Meiqi was even more lively. The two of them were laughing in the kitchen, and Yu Yao would interject from time to time. The three of them seemed to be chatting about the liveliness of three large families, which made Yu Yao's head buzz.
But Yu Yao herself was also very happy to be with them. She thought that Chen Chen's improvement was largely related to having such a talkative friend around him.
As a result, Yu Yao's attitude towards the other party improved a lot, and she even made some biscuits for the two of them to take back.
"Thank you so much, Comrade Yu Yao. I didn't even bring you any gift, but I ended up bringing something back." It was almost time to get off work, and the two of them said goodbye. It was obvious that Chen Meiqi liked Yu Yao's place very much, and she was reluctant to leave. However, she was probably worried about the embarrassment of running into Gu Qing, so she prepared to leave at the right time.
She was holding something in each hand, and her smiling face was pretty and bright, dazzling the eyes.
The art troupe is indeed a place where beautiful girls and handsome boys come from. Yu Yao couldn't help thinking in her heart that she could eat two more bowls of rice just by seeing them.
"Don't be so polite. Chen Chen's friends are my friends. Come and visit us often."
When the two of them were leaving, they happened to meet Gu Qing coming back. They simply greeted Gu Qing and then left.
"Isn't that little girl pretty?" Yu Yao and Gu Qing walked into the room together and casually mentioned the matter.
Gu Qing still knew how to answer such a simple question.
"Which girl didn't notice it? Chen Chen? She does look a lot better after getting married."
"Pfft." Yu Yao glanced at him unhappily. Who was he trying to scare? If he was just this sensitive, he could just quit the army.
Gu Qing said seriously: "I just felt like I had seen her somewhere before."
Who could have thought that he just took one more look and his wife saw it?
But this was a sign that his daughter-in-law cared about him, so Gu Qing was still very happy.
But where have you seen her?
Suddenly, he paused and thought of someone.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Yu Yao saw him frowning slightly and asked with some confusion.
"It's okay. I can't remember it. It doesn't matter if I can't remember it."
Yu Yao did not ask any further questions. She also knew that Gu Qing was not the kind of person who would have any thoughts about a little girl. "I guess he saw her during the performance of the art troupe."
Gu Qing nodded. "Are they here to ask you to make something again? Don't get too tired." He saw that the two people were carrying food in their hands when they went back.
"How could that be? It's just making something to eat. And I didn't make it, they made it themselves. I just talked a little."
They are very energetic and Yu Yao is willing to spend more time with them.
The two of them just chatted casually and didn't take the matter to heart.
Gu Qing received a piece of news that they had made considerable contributions during their trip to Gangcheng, and Gu Qing might be promoted again.
But he was promoted too fast at his age, so his superiors wanted him to go for further studies.
In this case, they had to arrange to return to Beijing.
Yu Yao was very surprised, this was what she had been arranging, but the two of them had not decided when they could go, and applying for a transfer was not that easy.
I originally thought I might have to wait until the college entrance examination, but now it seems to be fine.
"I don't know when, I've missed this opportunity for further study, and I'll have to wait until the second half of next year to enroll."
Yu Yao understood as soon as he heard it. Isn't it almost the same time as the college entrance examination?
The first year the college entrance examination was resumed seemed to be in winter, so I went back early to take the exam.
"That's fine, we can go to school together then." Although not in the same school.
Gu Qing smiled and nodded.
"Before or after we go back, we should go back to see Grandpa and Mom."
This is what Yu Yao wanted to say, "I don't know if grandpa would be willing to go back with us, but my mom and the others might be willing." After all, her second brother was in Beijing, and she didn't even see his wedding.
Gu Qing thought about it and said, "Maybe when we have children, Grandpa might be willing to go back."
Yu Yao: "...You want to have a baby?"
"Not really. I'm being realistic." Gu Qing really wanted a child, but he was not in a hurry. Having a child was not just his business, and he had to respect Yu Yao's opinion. They were both very restrained when doing that, so there were no accidents.
Moreover, Gu Qing can also understand Yu Yao. Yu Yao is very tired now and has a lot of things to do. If she gives birth to a child here, there will be no one to help take care of the child, and she will still have to do all the work. This will not only affect their married life, but also their physical health. It is better for the child to come later.
But he didn't like those people in the family compound gossiping about Yu Yao.
All this gossip had reached his ears, and even Political Commissar Ding came to ask if he needed help contacting a doctor...
But looking at Yu Yao's indifferent look, she really doesn't care.
Forget it, let's just do what she wants.
Yu Yao also thought so. Since Zhang Wei was arrested, Yu Yao has been learning from another master in the team. This master is good at different things. He is good at some knowledge and skills such as science and engineering. Now Yu Yao has mastered replacing light bulbs and repairing circuits. Now she has started making small household appliances.
Who could have imagined it?
She is a beautiful girl with unlimited strength, but she actually does the work that men do.
However, Yu Yao is quite interested in these things. Seeing what he made work in person gives him a sense of accomplishment that is hard to obtain elsewhere.
Besides, she still has to go to the clinic.
She has to go up the mountain from time to time and play with her friends. She really doesn't have time to have a baby now.
"Let's talk about it after I graduate from university." Yu Yao felt that she had painted this pie a bit too big. The college entrance examination had not yet resumed, but she arranged it after graduation.
But Yu Yao still thinks it’s a bit early to have a baby right after graduating from university. Shouldn’t one work hard right after entering the society?
But looking at Gu Qing's expression, forget it. I'll worry about these things later.
"You don't need to care about what they say. Whether we can have children or not is none of their business. They all act like they live by the sea. Why do they care so much? Do they want to raise children for us? Even if they want to raise one, I won't give it to them."
Gu Qing was completely relieved when he heard her say this.
Yes, there is no way his wife would be influenced by those people's words. He still hopes that those people will not fall into the hands of his wife.
After telling Yu Yao about this, Gu Qing stopped paying attention to those people's gossip. When asked about it, he said that he had no such plan for the time being.
Everyone thought that there was definitely something wrong between the two of them, and that their statement of not having any plans for the time being was just pretense.
But no matter what outsiders said, the two of them didn't care. Over time, those who talked nonsense found it a bit boring.
But one person was quite happy about what happened.
Ever since everyone started to spread the rumor that Yu Yao couldn't have children, the clinic has become much quieter.
Li Ziyu enjoyed his free time, so he pushed all the work in the clinic, such as cleaning herbs, to Yu Yao, and then he spent all day growing mushrooms in the office.
Yu Yao didn’t really understand Li Ziyu, but she could tell that he must be a man with a story.
Gu Qing said that he was also from Beijing, and his older generation were well-known figures in Beijing. However, some of his family members went abroad later, and the rest suffered hardships in the past few years and could not survive. He was the only one who was saved.
He had no chance to go back to work in a big hospital before, and now he doesn't want to go.
Yu Yao felt that he was a bit desperate, but she understood the principle of not advising others to do good without experiencing their suffering, so she didn't say much.
He was usually quite nice to Yu Yao. He would teach Yu Yao whatever she wanted to learn, and the work he assigned to Yu Yao was all something that Yu Yao was able to do. So even if he assigned his work to Yu Yao, Yu Yao did not think there was anything wrong with it. In the process of sorting out the herbs, he made progress in identifying and using them.
"Doctor Li, it's time. I'm going back first." Yu Yao packed up her things and knocked on Li Ziyu's office door, but suddenly saw two figures outside the window.
Behind the health center is a medicinal garden. It is not a big garden with some trees. It had been abandoned and was covered with many wild vines and weeds.
After Yu Yao came over, he found that there were some seeds of medicinal herbs for clearing away heat and detoxifying in the clinic, so he pulled Li Ziyu to clear the weeds and planted some commonly used herbs, which had already grown by then.
But because this place was very deserted in the past, few people have come here. Even though it has been cleaned up now, there are still few people here.
This was the first time Yu Yao saw outsiders wandering around here.
It just so happened that Yu Yao was somewhat familiar with those two people. One was her neighbor, Liao Zhu's ex-husband, Qi Liangsheng, and the other was a friend she had just met, Chen Chen's good friend Chen Meiqi.
I don’t know how the two of them knew each other, but now Yu Yao understands the situation.
Nowadays, men and women, at least in public, behave very much at a distance from each other. Men and women like them walking side by side, especially in such a remote place, are most likely dating.
Yu Yao didn't know what Chen Meiqi was thinking, but she would occasionally come to see her with Chen Chen recently, and the three of them would inevitably talk about Liao Zhu when they chatted. It was impossible for her not to know what kind of people the Qi family was.
However, no matter how much trouble Yu Yao had, she could not tell them that it was actually Qi Liangsheng who was infertile. This made Yu Yao feel conflicted, and she was not sure whether she should remind Chen Meiqi.
But she has no evidence.
Furthermore, Chen Meiqi clearly knew what kind of family the Qi family was, yet she still wanted to marry into their family. Isn’t that stupid?
Although Yu Yao also heard from Chen Chen that Chen Meiqi's family conditions were not very good, she was now working in an art troupe, and the salary from the troupe should be enough to cover her expenses.
Seeing Yu Yao staring at the window, Li Ziyu turned around and saw the figures of the two people.
"Why, you know him?"
Of course Li Ziyu also knew Qi Liangsheng. After all, that incident was quite a big deal. He occasionally visited Yu Yao's house and had met Qi Liangsheng and even greeted him, but he did not know the girl.
"They have been here more than once. They have probably been together for quite a long time." Li Ziyu was worried that Yu Yao would get into trouble by meddling in other people's business, so he said a few more words.
Yu Yao also understood the implication of his words. She would rather destroy ten temples than break up a marriage. If she went to ruin the good fortune of two people, the other party might not thank her, but would become an enemy instead.
"Oh, I know him, but I'm not familiar with him. I'm leaving now."
Yu Yao and Chen Meiqi are indeed not very familiar with each other. Her friendship with each other entirely comes from Chen Chen.
Chen Chen is a very simple girl. It's very relaxing to be with her. And that feeling should be even stronger with Chen Meiqi together.
But she could also see that Chen Meiqi had some ulterior motives, but because she always behaved very tactfully when facing Gu Qing and Su Lin, Yu Yao didn't care.
So she didn't want to get involved in this matter, and she would not tell Chen Chen about it.
Chen Chen is a simple-minded person. If she knew about this, she would definitely stop Chen Meiqi.
Although he thought so, Yu Yao still took the matter to heart and mentioned it to Gu Qing after returning.
Gu Qing said, "I see. I saw her visiting Qi Liangsheng before, but they seemed to be quite tactful with each other. I didn't expect they had this kind of relationship."
Previously, because Yu Yao found that the other party was not as simple as he appeared, she asked Gu Qing to help find Su Lin and find out. That's how she found out that Su Lin and her had hardly spoken a few words to each other.
"I was worried that she had some feelings for Su Lin, but I didn't expect her to find Qi Liangsheng. Do you think she wants to find a suitable partner for her through me and Chen Chen?"
If this is true, Yu Yao becomes even more conflicted about whether or not to tell her the truth.
There is nothing wrong for a girl to think more about herself. After all, she didn't do anything to harm others. She just said in front of Yu Yao and Chen Chen that she envied them for having such good partners.
Yu Yao still couldn't bear to watch her jump into the fire pit.
Gu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember that I said before that she looked familiar to me? Then I seemed to remember that I had seen her in Jing City, when we came back from Gangcheng."
"Really? Where?" Yu Yao had no recollection of it. "But she did say before that she went back to her hometown for vacation some time ago, but she's not from Beijing."
Gu Qing: "I saw her outside our compound. She was with someone she knew in our compound at the time. The two seemed to have a close relationship."
"What does this mean?" Yu Yao was surprised.
It's only been over a month since they both came back.
Did he break up with his girlfriend and immediately find a new love, or is he two-timing?
"What are the conditions of that person?" Yu Yao asked again.
"He works at the post office, and his father is in the same unit as my dad. He has good conditions, which Qi Liangsheng definitely can't compare to." Gu Qing said confidently, "You'd better not get involved in this matter. Since you know she is a scheming person, she shouldn't let herself suffer any loss. She knows that the Qi family is not good, but she still wants to jump into it. Moreover, I don't see her interacting with the Qi family here. It seems that she wants to hide it. We don't know what her purpose is. You'd better not get involved."
After hearing what Gu Qing said, Yu Yao agreed.
If she was just accidentally blinded, how could she hide the matter? At least she definitely didn't tell Chen Chen, otherwise Chen Chen wouldn't have said bad things about Qi Liangsheng in front of her so recklessly.
If someone jumps into a fire pit knowing it is a fire pit, there must be a reason on their side.
"Well, don't worry, I won't meddle in other people's business." Yu Yao has to meddle in other people's business according to the person he is dealing with, okay?
What if this person had been hooking up with Liao Zhu before her divorce?
The more Yu Yao thought about it, the more confused she became when Gu Qing suddenly picked her up.
"Wife, let's go take a shower and have some rest. Don't let those irrelevant people ruin our fun."
Gu Qing shamelessly carried Yu Yao directly to the bathroom.
Yu Yao hit him, "When will you be serious?"
This may sound a bit coquettish. In fact, Gu Qing only behaves in a frivolous way at times like this.
"Don't you think your wife doesn't like your man like this?"
Yu Yao rolled her eyes, "It's too greasy. You need to wash your face twice more with soap before going to bed."
"Okay."
Neither of them took it too seriously.
To Yu Yao, Chen Meiqi was just a not-so-good friend, and Qi Liangsheng was now a complete stranger. Yu Yao had no interest in what happened between the two of them.
But when Chen Chen and Chen Meiqi came to her house to find her again, Yu Yao's attitude towards them became a little cold.
She probably noticed it, so she didn't come often.
Later, Chen Chen also discovered it and asked Yu Yao if she didn't like Chen Meiqi. Yu Yao did not admit it, but just said that they were not very familiar with each other.
As a result, not long after this incident, one day Chen Chen suddenly ran to the health center in a hurry to find Yu Yao.
Yu Yao happened to be free, so she sat down and talked to her.
"Ah Yao, do you know? Chen Meiqi is actually going to marry that stinky man Qi Liangsheng. What do you think she is thinking?"
Yu Yao poured her a glass of water and said, "What's going on? Tell me slowly, don't be anxious."
Although Yu Yao was not surprised by this result, she felt that it happened too suddenly.
"Recently, Chen Meiqi rarely goes to the art troupe to practice. She always feels uncomfortable here and there, but she has never been like this before. Even if there were some minor problems in the past, she would always put practice first."
Because Chen Meiqi came from a poor family, she relied on her own efforts to get to her current position, so she especially cherished every opportunity to perform. But now she is not working as hard as before, so Chen Chen finds it very strange.
"I was worried that she was really ill, so I visited her often. I did see that she looked a little unwell, but I urged her to go to the health center or the military hospital, but she refused. I didn't know what was wrong with her."
Chen Chen said angrily, "But when I went over just now, I found her with Qi Liangsheng, and they seemed to know each other very well."
Yu Yao could probably guess what happened next, "And then she told you that she was going to marry Qi Liangsheng?"
"Yes, how could she do that? Doesn't she know what kind of person Qi Liangsheng is?"
Chen Chen really couldn't understand it, because the other party had clearly spoken ill of Qi Liangsheng together with him before.
Seeing Chen Chen like this, Yu Yao suddenly understood what Gu Qing was thinking when she complained to him. She smiled and said, "Did you have a fight with her?"
"How do you know?" Chen Chen was a little frustrated. "I just don't want to see her ruin herself like this. With her conditions, she can find anyone she wants. I wanted to introduce Su Li to her, but Su Lin said that Su Li wouldn't like her type, so I didn't introduce him. What the hell is wrong with her?"
Yu Yao didn't have the heart to refute her kindness, but it was obvious that her kindness would be in vain.
She was about to persuade him again, but she heard Chen Chen say, "Actually, she wanted to make friends with you before. I think she wanted you to introduce her to someone. Ah Yao, why do you think she is not good? Did you see something?"
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Yao also saw some problems.
Chen Chen was right. When the three of them were together, Chen Meiqi always expressed her envy of Yu Yao and Chen Chen's marriage. It seemed like she wanted them to introduce someone to her, but she didn't mention it herself.
However, Yu Yao did wonder if there was anyone suitable around her whom she could introduce to the other party.
After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure it out, mainly because she wasn't very familiar with him, so she didn't dwell on it too much.
But after this series of events, she finally figured it out. Chen Meiqi was very anxious. Maybe the reason why she didn't come to see her these two times was not only because she found that she had become cold towards her, but also because she felt that she could not introduce her to someone.
Her relationship with Qi Liangsheng has always been kept secret. Maybe she treats Qi Liangsheng as a backup.
Then why is she so anxious to find a partner?
"Did she ask you to introduce her to someone?" Yu Yao asked.
"Yes, she said she envied our life and wanted to get married soon. But you know I don't know many people in this academy, so I haven't found a suitable one. The only one I thought was good, Su Li, was rejected by Su Lin."
Before, Chen Chen had not managed her network well in the art troupe because of her own affairs. Her relationships with her comrades were average. Moreover, everyone she knew in the art troupe was known to Chen Meiqi, so if Chen Meiqi liked someone, she would go for him/her.
"I also asked Su Lin to keep an eye out for me. Those soldiers are still in need of wives. If there were any, Su Lin would have told me. He didn't mention it, so there must be none. There's nothing I can do." Chen Chen said distressedly, "But even if she can't find a suitable one for the time being, there's no need for her to be with someone like Qi Liangsheng. She's still stubborn and stubborn. I really don't understand."
Yu Yao didn't say anything, but picked up the water glass and took a sip.
If she guessed correctly, Su Lin probably noticed that something was wrong with the girl, but she didn't have the heart to ruin Chen Chen's friendship. After all, the girl didn't do anything to harm them.
He has the same mentality as Gu Qing.
"Think about it, since she knows the situation with Qi Liangsheng very well, she still wants to marry him. There must be a reason why she has to do it. If you persuade her too much, you will be blamed. Just do what you should do and have a clear conscience." Yu Yao advised her.
"And I don't think Chen Meiqi is someone who can be easily bullied. If she marries him, she might be able to make Qi Liangsheng's mother suffer."
As they talked, neither of them expected that Yu Yao's words would come true.
"That's true. I've said everything I need to say. Sometimes you have to suffer a loss before you realize that your choice was wrong. If she insists on getting married, then let her marry. The worst that can happen is that I can just get a divorce like Sister Liao Zhu."
Chen Chen is now very open-minded. She cares about feelings, but she cares more about her own heart. If others are nice to her, she is willing to treat others in the same way. But if others don't appreciate it, then there is no need for her to curry favor with them.
Once a friend is gone, they are gone. It all depends on fate.
But she was still in a bad mood.
"It's great that you can figure it out. Go buy some food and come to my house later to cook and we can eat together. We have meat and fish at home, so you can just buy some side dishes."
The two families have become accustomed to having meals together frequently.
The main reason is that Yu Yao and Gu Qing are good cooks. When Chen Chen has nothing to do, she likes to come to Yu Yao's place to play with her. Sometimes, when the playing time is over, she simply cooks with Yu Yao.
Su Lin often came home and found that his wife was not at home, so he would go straight to Gu Qing. Both families had become accustomed to it.
"Okay, I want to eat the fried tofu you made. I wonder if you still have it. I'll go check and buy some food and then come pick you up after get off work."
Yu Yao nodded, "Go quickly, and be careful."
If there is anything that can cure a bad mood, it must be delicious food.
If one meal isn't enough, have two.
Obviously, Chen Chen's mentality has improved. Just thinking about delicious food makes her very happy.
So when Gu Qing and Su Lin came home, it was no longer obvious that Chen Chen was angry that afternoon.
The four of them cooked several delicious dishes, but they didn't let anyone see them, otherwise they would have been criticized for their capitalist style.
It was not until the evening that Gu Qing learned about what had happened during the day. He also found it a little strange, but he did not care too much about it. They were just two unimportant people.
"She will know why when she gets married."
They didn't have to wait long for this day.
Within two days, Qi's mother began to announce everywhere that her son had found a partner and would be getting married in two days. She seemed to be showing off everywhere to prove that it was a big deal for her son to find a partner. She did this in front of Yu Yao countless times.
Yu Yao was annoyed by her and acted like she had no one to blame.
But Yu Yao did not deal with the other party this time. In fact, she really wanted to know who would control whom between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law after Chen Meiqi got married. Could they really have a good life?
When she realized this thought, Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that although she didn't often mingle with the aunties in the family compound, she fully understood the joy of eating melons. It's just that she didn't go around chatting with others. It was also good for her to eat melons silently.
I knew they were anxious, but I didn't expect them to be that anxious.
Just three days after Qi's mother told her son that he had a girlfriend, the two registered and got their marriage certificate, and invited everyone to the cafeteria for dinner that day.
Because Liao Zhu was there, Yu Yao and his family had invited them to their home, so this time they also invited Yu Yao and his family back.
But this may not be the only reason why they asked Yu Yao to work.
As if to prove how glorious it was for Qi Liangsheng to divorce Liao Zhu and remarry, they held a grand ceremony this time, and almost everyone in the family compound who had some contact with him attended.
Anyway, it’s provided by the canteen, so it can’t be that expensive.
It was obvious that Qi's mother was a little unhappy about having to spend so much money, but the bigger the ceremony, the more her vanity was satisfied. So she kept praising her daughter-in-law for how beautiful and capable she was, and what position she held in the art troupe. She spoke with such detail that many people were uncomfortable with her.
"I said, why should an old woman like me wear new clothes, but my daughter-in-law insisted on buying them for me. Tell me, this is a good thing because she is very filial, but it is a bit of a waste of money." Qi's mother kept talking and showing off her new clothes.
Yu Yao clearly saw Chen Meiqi standing nearby with an unhappy look on her face.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, feeling that things would be very interesting.
"I don't know why she is showing off, as if she is the only woman in the art troupe. All the girls there are cute and adorable. I don't know if she can work if I marry her. It's a shame to marry her so early. She will cry in the future."
Some aunties couldn't stand Qi's mother's boastful look and couldn't help but complain.
As soon as she opened her mouth, someone immediately agreed, "Who said it wasn't? And they are in such a hurry to get married. Weren't they in a hurry to find a partner before? This...you said they are so anxious, could it be that they already have something?"
Generally speaking, if one really takes the marriage seriously, the two families must meet each other first, or the marriage must be properly arranged before the wedding, which shows how much they value each other.
Even those of them who were working in the military family compound and had difficulty taking leave to go home would be a little anxious, but I have never seen these two people so anxious.
And it just so happens that those who are really anxious are usually in a hurry because something ugly has happened between the two of them.
When the lady said this, the people around looked at each other, all of them understood.
Yu Yao was not far away and heard everything they said. She finally understood how the rumor started. Wasn't this a direct result of a rumor-mongering operation?
But as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and what they said is not completely without reason.
What did the two of them have?
Is it really because of something?
Thinking about how Chen Meiqi was so anxious to have someone introduce her to a partner, and how she was so eager to marry Qi Liangsheng, she suddenly had a bold guess in her mind.
Could this girl be pregnant?
Yu Yao felt that he had seen through the truth of the matter and couldn't help but cover his mouth.
"What's wrong, Ah Yao, are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Yao and Aunt Zheng were sitting at the same table. She noticed that Yu Yao was covering her mouth, so she asked casually.
"Oh, Vice-Tuan's wife, looking at you like this, are you pregnant?" The aunties at the table were all close to each other and had no bad intentions, but they happened to bring up the topic that Yu Yao didn't want to mention.
With these words, Yu Yao swallowed the discomfort in her stomach. She smiled speechlessly and said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little sleepy and want to yawn."
But I also feel that yawning at this time is a bit rude. Is this an acceptable excuse?
Who knew these ladies had such strange train of thought.
Someone immediately responded, "Isn't it too much since you have a child? Feel your pulse yourself. If it doesn't work, go see Doctor Li. Don't be so confused."
"That's right, Doctor Yu, you've been married for a year and it's time for you to have a child. You still have to be careful."
After hearing what they said here and there, even Aunt Zheng began to doubt.
"How about Ah Yao, when can you go to the military hospital for a checkup? I'll go with you."
Yu Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "No need. I'm doing something else right now. How can I have a child?"
There was no other way. She was worried that if she didn't explain clearly, rumors would spread tomorrow that she was pregnant. She could only say that she was on her period.
But soon everyone looked at Yu Yao with worried and pitying eyes.
