Chapter 128 Sister Lin comes to visit
"Hey, tell me, what's Lin Jiao's intention? She just endures the beating like this, it's really pitiful."
"Who knows? Maybe it's because Tiezhu treated her well when they first got married."
"No matter how good the friendship is, it will be worn away by such a beating."
"Who can understand what's going on between a couple? It might be that it takes two to tango. Why did Lin Tiezhu suddenly become so different towards his wife? Maybe there's something else going on."
"Hey, what a sin!"
The women downstairs gathered together and chattered.
The noise downstairs woke up Feng Jiaojiao who was sleeping.
"These loudmouths, can't they speak a little more quietly? They woke you up." Seeing that her daughter-in-law had just fallen asleep and was woken up by the group of women washing clothes downstairs, An's mother was so angry that she wanted to go out and argue with them.
"Mom, forget it!" Feng Jiaojiao grabbed An's mother.
This place is different from the countryside, every house has its own door and yard.
If you speak loudly in a building, everyone can hear you. This is especially true at the sink downstairs, where most people wash their hair, vegetables, and clothes. If you run into someone you know, you can't help but chat about family matters.
You can't stop her from talking just because she wants to sleep, especially since she is in a public place downstairs.
"Besides, our family is going to have a baby soon, so there will probably be a lot of noise, so no one should dislike anyone else." What child won't cry? The whole building will probably be able to hear it.
When An's mother heard this, she realized that this was the case. If her grandson cried, it would also disturb others.
This is really not as good as their countryside.
"I saw that you were woken up after just a short sleep. If you don't sleep well at night, you won't sleep well all day. How can your body take it?" The daughter-in-law now has to get up four times at night. She has to get up to go to the toilet when she is sleeping soundly. She feels sorry for both her son and daughter-in-law.
Just look forward to having the baby soon. Having twins is really a pain.
"Mom, being a mother is a price I have to pay. I can sleep a few more times a day, it's okay. But it's hard for you. You are so old, and you still have to suffer with me."
Feng Jiaojiao sometimes thinks that she should be grateful to a woman who has no blood relationship with her for taking such good care of her.
"Silly child, isn't that my grandson in your belly? Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, they are the flesh and blood of our An family. If I don't give, who will?"
If she gives more, her son will feel more relaxed. This is the person her son holds dear to his heart. Only when his daughter-in-law is well will his son be well.
"Mom, you are so nice!" Feng Jiaojiao never expected that she and An's mother would get along more and more harmoniously, and until now, there has not been any conflict at all.
"Your good life is better than anything else."
"Look at the life of Lin Tiezhu and his wife downstairs. It's hard for us to say who is right or wrong, but their life is in chaos, which is not what we as parents want to see." Mother An heard the discussions below, but she never participated.
"Knock knock." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking when there was a knock on the door.
"Let me take a look." An's mother came over and opened the door to see who was coming.
Basically, the only people from their family who could come here were Dr. Song, the section chief's wife Liu Lingling, and Zhang Xiangbei's wife Xu Qiaoqiao.
Others rarely come.
The main reason is that the weather is cold now, and Feng Jiaojiao is pregnant, so it is inconvenient for her to go out. An's mother and Feng Jiaojiao basically stay at home and don't interact too much with the neighbors.
"It's you!" As soon as Cao Yao was mentioned, Cao Yao appeared.
When An's mother saw that it was Lin Tiezhu's daughter-in-law, she was puzzled and wondered why she was here.
The main thing is that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never had any contact with Lin Tiezhu’s wife. Why would this person suddenly come to their door?
"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you. I...can I borrow your sewing machine? My son Tiezhu's pants are broken, and I sewed them myself...I'm afraid they won't be as strong as the ones made by the machine." Mrs. Lin came over with a pair of pants with a long seam on the crotch.
An's mother frowned. What's wrong with this guy?
"Mom, who is it?" Feng Jiaojiao saw An's mother standing at the door for a long time without coming in.
"Ah, it's Lin Tiezhu's wife. Come over to borrow the sewing machine."
"Come in, but only this once. My daughter-in-law is pregnant. If you all come to borrow the sewing machine, my daughter-in-law won't be able to rest. It just so happens that she just woke up today." Mother An let someone in.
"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you so much. I'm really sorry. It's mainly because these pants are so badly damaged. Otherwise, I wouldn't be embarrassed to trouble you." Mrs. Lin said apologetically.
Feng Jiaojiao was sitting on the sofa eating.
"Hello, I'm Lin Tiezhu's wife. I'm here to borrow your sewing machine. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Mrs. Lin is very thin, but her hair is neatly combed, and you can see that she has a bright and elegant figure.
Maybe it’s because life is too tiring, the whole person looks very tired and listless.
"Hello."
"Mom, please get the sewing machine for her." Feng Jiaojiao nodded and asked An's mother to turn on the sewing machine for her.
When the sewing machine is not in use, it is basically stored inside. You can put some things on it and use it as a table.
"Auntie, you're welcome. I'll do it. You go ahead." Mrs. Lin skillfully turned on the sewing machine and used it. She didn't need anyone's help to put it online. She set it up by herself.
Seeing that everyone could do it, An's mother just went back to her own work.
Feng Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes slightly. She was so skilled that it didn't seem like she didn't have a sewing machine at home. Or perhaps this woman often used the sewing machine.
Can a person you have never met, or who you don't meet often, be so familiar?
She shouldn't be so careful as to break it, but she didn't seem to take the sewing machine seriously at all.
"Mrs. Lin, besides our family, who else has a sewing machine here? There probably is no one else, right?" Feng Jiaojiao asked casually, with pride in her tone.
Mrs. Lin paused, "Haha, in our building, only your family and Old Qian's family have sewing machines, but Old Qian's family never lends them to anyone."
"Who would be willing to buy such a big thing? It must be that Section Chief An loves his wife. As family members, who among us wouldn't envy you?"
"Hmph, I'll tell you what I'm saying, but you better be careful with it. Don't break it, or you won't be able to afford the compensation!" Feng Jiaojiao pinched herself secretly to calm herself down.
"I...I'm being careful!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Mrs. Lin's eyes. It turned out that she had never met this person before. She thought he was a smart person. It turned out that Section Chief An's wife was just like this.
