Lu Jingchuan had been training very hard during this period and his body was actually exhausted to the extreme. He knew that his wife was about to give birth and he would have to take care of her and the babies, so after lunch he went to his room to rest and catch up on his sleep.
The room was heated and comfortable. After his mind and body relaxed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Gong Linglong got up at noon to eat and moved her body slightly. In the afternoon, she accompanied him back to bed and read a book quietly beside him.
Lu Jingchuan was so sleepy and tired that he didn't wake up until the next morning. After a good sleep, the bloodshot in his eyes was obviously less, and he felt refreshed.
Gong Wantang steamed medicinal chicken for him last night, but he slept soundly so she didn't wake him up. This morning she heated it up for him and let him have it for breakfast.
"Jingchuan, we have already had breakfast, take your time."
Lu Jingchuan thanked him, stood up and went to the kitchen to get an empty bowl, broke off two chicken legs, and prepared to send them to the room for Gong Linglong to eat.
Gong Wantang hurriedly stopped him, "Jingchuan, Linglong can't eat it, you eat it."
"Why?" Lu Jingchuan asked.
"This chicken is steamed with Chinese medicine to nourish your body. It contains some herbs that can invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. Linglong can't eat it while she's pregnant."
They were talking loudly. Gong Linglong heard them from inside the house and said loudly, "Brother Jing, you eat. I had a full meal this morning. Mom usually steams chicken for me."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan sat down at the table, finished a large bowl of dumplings, and then slowly broke apart the chicken and ate it.
It snowed heavily last night, and the snow piled up half a leg deep in the yard outside. At this time, Gong Zhongxi and his two sisters were making a snowman and having a lot of fun.
When Zhou Lanqin and the others came over, Lu Jingchuan hadn't finished the chicken in his bowl yet. She asked with a smile, "Is this breakfast, or did your mother-in-law give you another snack?"
"Breakfast, I slept until just now."
Zhou Lanqin came to pay New Year's greetings today and brought a lot of gifts. She bought good wine and cigarettes for Gong Kaizhou, and also prepared red envelopes of New Year's money for her daughter-in-law and the four grandchildren of the Gong family.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the elders of the Gong family, Jiang Yun came into the house to accompany Gong Linglong. She sat down and said to her, "Linglong, yesterday afternoon, Jingyang and I went to the Overseas Chinese Store to buy New Year's goods. We met Ruan Yumian and her current husband, and Lu, oh, no, her name is Ruan Qiuhe now."
"Wasn't she sentenced to six months? And released early?"
Gong Linglong had heard from Lu Jingyang before that, under normal circumstances, Ruan Qiuhe would not be able to come out until after the New Year.
Jiang Yun curled her lips. "They said she behaved very well in there, reflected on her mistakes, and her ideological awareness has improved significantly. Plus, Ruan Yumian's current man helped her out before New Year's Eve."
Gong Linglong also heard about Ruan Yumian's current husband from Grandma Lu. He is sixteen or seventeen years older than Ruan Yumian. His ex-wife died of illness five or six years ago. He has many children and three or four grandchildren at home. The eldest grandson is about to go to junior high school.
When the old man remarried Nguyen Ngoc Mian, his children and family members strongly opposed it. They did not object to their father finding an aunt to accompany him, but they did not agree with him marrying Nguyen Ngoc Mian, mainly because she had a bad reputation. Moreover, the Nguyen family was a cancer at the time, and they did not want to get involved in trouble.
But for some unknown reason, the old man insisted on marrying Ruan Yumian, and family conflicts intensified from then on. At that time, his two sons even threatened to sever ties with him.
Not long after, the old man's children changed their tune and agreed to let Ruan Yumian marry them, but they did not show her any respect.
Ever since she came in, no one has ever looked her in the eye. The whole family looked down on her and never gave her face in public. Even the children in the family treated her like air.
"After not seeing her for three months, Ruan Yumian seems like a completely different person. Now she's very gloomy and haggard. When she's with that guy, she's like a young wife who's made a mistake, lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone."
"Ruan Qiuhe's temper hasn't changed at all. I guess she didn't know her mother had remarried while she was in there, and she married an old man who could be her grandfather. When she went shopping with them, her face was full of resentment and disgust. She made no secret of her dislike for Ruan Yumian. She stood on the street crying and accusing her, shouting that she wanted to break off relations with Ruan Yumian."
Jiang Yun and the others were standing in the dark at the time, and Ruan Yumian and the others did not notice them. She and Lu Jingyang heard clearly what the mother and daughter said.
"She has already severed ties with my father and said that she would never be the granddaughter of the Lu family. Now she is severing ties with her mother. Is there any way out for her?" Gong Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I went to Qi's house." Jiang Yun told her with a smile.
Gong Linglong didn't react, "Which Qi family?"
"Before Ruan Qiuhe was imprisoned, she was having a passionate affair with Qi Bin from the Qi family. Ruan Wenwen said they had been together for a long time, and except for the final bottom line, they had done everything they should have done."
"After Ruan Qiuhe and the Ruan family got into trouble, the Qi family immediately distanced themselves from the matter, claiming that none of that mess had happened. They also said it was Ruan Wenwen who was talking nonsense, and then they arranged for Qi Bin to leave the capital."
"It's Chinese New Year now, and Qi Bin has returned to Beijing to spend the holiday with his parents. The Qi family probably didn't expect Ruan Qiuhe to be released early, let alone that she would shamelessly come to their house and force a marriage."
"Ruan Qiuhe went to the Qi family yesterday evening. She was a true disciple of Ruan Yumian. She had been scheming before she went. She cried and snotted at the door of the Qi family. She shamelessly told all about her date and private affairs with Qi Bin, and even named all of Qi Bin's friends as witnesses."
"Qi's parents were nearly pissed off by her. Finally, to save face, they invited her into the house, and then they started a mixed doubles match. I heard they beat Qi Bin until his face was swollen like a pig's head."
"Later, the old man of the Qi family heard the news and came over. He was furious and punished Qi Bin by making him kneel outside in the snow for an hour."
"The Qi family has already announced that after the new year, when the government offices return to work, Qi Bin and Ruan Qiuhe will get a marriage certificate and register. After they get married, they will immediately leave Beijing and settle down in the area where Qi Bin currently works."
Gong Linglong curled her lips when she heard this: "Ruan Qiuhe is following her mother's old path."
"Yes, she has done so herself that she has nowhere else to go. Now she needs a place to stay, so she has no choice but to choose this path."
Jiang Yun knew Qi Bin, a second-generation rich kid with no ambition. He spent his days idling around. Now he was completely abandoned by the Qi family. The future for him and Ruan Qiuhe would definitely be a mess.
"It's New Year's Day, and she's made another funny joke. Grandpa must be very angry again." Gong Linglong respects the two elders of the Lu family very much.
Jiang Yun and the others had gone to the Lu family's house before they arrived. She smiled and told her, "Grandpa and grandma heard about it yesterday, and they weren't angry this time. We just went over, and the house was bustling with activity. My eldest aunt's cousin has secretly found a girlfriend. She's a news reporter who works for a newspaper. They came back together for the New Year this year. The young couple was just visiting my grandparents, and the old man was very happy."
