After all, it is quite common to be born more than a month prematurely.
That's why Director Wang was so anxious for Dou Cuifang to get married quickly.
"When Dou Cuifang announces her pregnancy, that idiot Qiao Laiwang will be extremely happy. He will have a child at the age of 40. He might even brag to others about how great he is."
At this point, Qiao Xinyi quickly told Li Xiuying, "Don't tell anyone else about Director Wang's family affairs. Try to avoid their home in the future. If you run into them, don't show any strange expressions.
What happened in the past will be the same in the future. Neither of the two wives in this family is a kind-hearted person. What you have discovered is too much. If they find out that you know their secrets, you can't guarantee that they will do something to hurt you out of desperation. ”
"Don't worry, Sister Xinyi. I know the seriousness of the matter and will never tell anyone else. I have been keeping it to myself until today to tell you." Li Xiuying nodded quickly.
"But you don't have to worry too much, because you are not the only one who found out that Dou Cuifang was pregnant. It's not certain whether you can keep it a secret at that time." Qiao Xinyi said, "When I was at the steel mill, I heard a sister guess that Dou Cuifang was pregnant. When Dou Cuifang and Qiao Laiwang got married, I also went to test it out."
"Sister Xinyi, you are so brave." Li Xiuying admired Qiao Xinyi's courage from the bottom of her heart.
She knew that she was very scared about this, and Qiao Xinyi knew about it and actually tried to test her.
The two of them were chatting until they heard approaching footsteps and quickly changed the subject. A few seconds later, Fu Qingshan came back with two jumping children and a big watermelon in his hand.
"We haven't finished eating the watermelon at home yet, why did you buy another one?" Qiao Xinyi pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "There's still half of it left."
"Today's watermelon is sweet. You like to drink fruit juice. Take this back and make it into watermelon juice for you." Fu Qingshan bent down and gently placed the watermelon on the ground. Knowing that Qiao Xinyi liked to drink pomegranate juice, he guessed that she might like to drink fruit juice.
Li Xiuying glared and said, "Brother Qingshan, you really love your wife."
She couldn't help but sigh, "It's so nice to be married. If this were my mother, she would beat me on the head if I dared to say I wanted to drink watermelon juice."
"It's not that it's good to be married, it's that it's good to be in charge of your own household when you grow up." Qiao Xinyi scolded Li Xiuying. She knew exactly what she was feeling. She just met Fu Qingshan who spoiled her like this. If it was another man, Li Xiuying might not be able to express such emotion.
"It's just a watermelon. We can earn money in the future and buy it. Don't think that you can only get this kind of treatment because you are married. If you want to eat or want something, you can get it if you earn money by yourself. You don't have to rely on others." Qiao Xinyi didn't want Li Xiuying to think that only by getting married can she change her quality of life.
"Sister Xinyi is right!" Li Xiuying remembered what Qiao Xinyi said, and she knew she could earn anything on her own.
In fact, the Li family is not poor. Maybe they lived a tight life in the past, but at least they are not poor now.
Liu Guilan and Li Jun both work and earn wages, and the family has to spend money on Li Xiuying who is still in school.
But the elders have come from hard times, so they are always more reluctant to spend money.
"She drinks the watermelon juice, and then I and my two children eat the crushed watermelon after she's juiced," Fu Qingshan explained. "It's really not good to waste food."
After he finished pounding the pomegranate juice, there was some left at the bottom of the bowl. He didn't even know when the two children took it to sip it. They sipped it happily and asked him when he would make pomegranate juice next time.
On the way, he said he wanted to make watermelon juice for Qiao Xinyi to drink. The two children's first reaction was to eat the watermelon pieces. They were so happy that they taught him to pick out the seeds before making the watermelon juice, so that they could eat it with a spoon after making the juice.
Qiao Xinyi smiled softly. In those days, the juice was made by hand, so it would not be squeezed as dry as the machines in later generations, so it did not affect the eating of the pulp.
So a family can’t finish a watermelon even if they drink juice.
It was around four in the afternoon when Qiao Xinyi and Fu Qingshan left the textile factory compound with their two children and a watermelon. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the small western-style building, they met Zhang Li and He Rou.
The two had been waiting at the door of the small western-style building for a long time. He Rou wanted to go to the textile factory's staff quarters to look for someone, but Zhang Li disagreed.
It is said that today is the day when Qiao Xinyi and her third child return home, and we cannot disturb the family reunion.
Moreover, if they went to Qiao Xinyi with money in hand and made a big fuss, they would probably be kicked out by Qiao Xinyi.
After all, there were people coming and going in the family compound, and there were eyes everywhere. Since Qiao Xinyi didn't want anyone to know, she would definitely not collect money in front of others.
"Here are two thousand yuan, please count them." Zhang Li handed over the bag, "It's a bit heavy, Captain Fu, please take it."
"How heavy can two thousand yuan be?" Qiao Xinyi took it easily, left her hand and waited, then closed the door and took Fu Qingshan and the child into the house to count the money.
The two children knew they couldn't count clearly so they didn't want to make trouble and just stood aside and watched. Qiao Xinyi asked Fu Qingshan for help. The two of them counted twice and it took them quite a while to count clearly.
"Pack up your things and go back to the family compound. On the way back, let's go to the bank and deposit the money." Qiao Xinyi said.
We didn't bring much stuff with us when we came, so we didn't have to pack much when we went back.
The two waited for a long time at the door. When He Rou was about to get impatient again, the door of the small western-style building opened, and a family of four plus Fu Qingshan came in holding a watermelon.
"I've accepted the money. You can go back to the military family compound and wait for us. I'll go deposit the money. When I get back to the family compound, I'll write a letter of apology to He Rou. With this letter of apology, I won't have to go to the Public Security Bureau again."
Qiao Xinyi patted the bag and said, "Remember what we agreed on? Your adoptive father is a battalion commander and your adoptive mother is a teacher. I believe your family should not be unable to do something as simple as keeping a promise, right?"
"Yeah." He Rou lowered her eyes and said nothing. It was Zhang Li who agreed on her and the He family's behalf.
"Since we have agreed to your conditions, we have agreed to them. Once we agree to them, we will definitely not break our promise. We still have this gentlemanly behavior." Zhang Li promised, "Then we will meet in the military family compound later."
After saying that, Zhang Li took He Rou away.
After they walked away, He Rou whispered to Zhang Li, "We just gave her the money like this? What if she takes the money and refuses to acknowledge it? That's two thousand yuan."
"Don't think of people as so sinister." Zhang Li shook his head. "If you don't trust Qiao Xinyi, how can you not trust Captain Fu? It's just two thousand yuan, so there's no need to worry."
Speaking of this, Zhang Li specifically warned, "When you go back, tell your family not to tell anyone about the compensation. Don't offend Qiao Xinyi again because of the compensation after we finally solved your problem. We don't know what methods Qiao Xinyi will use to retaliate, so it's better not to offend her."
