Ever since the weather was warm, Kang Xiaoqiao no longer had anyone drive her to school. Instead, she rode her bike to school. Of course, the two young soldiers also rode their bikes to follow behind her.
Kang Xiaoqiao's Kung Fu was not good enough, so they had to protect her close by. Moreover, this was also their duty.
This weekend, Kang Xiaoqiao moved her home to the Xia family's house. Actually, there was nothing much. Just a few clothes and daily necessities.
However, many people paid attention to her actions, and now the water was getting more and more muddy.
Was she going to leave or not?
Lu Yichen was in the ministry, and he would give any request to the girl called Mei Zi. He even brought the old Chinese medicine doctor to the family to be specially nursed.
With this kind of dedication, it wasn't too much to compare to his own father.
Zheng Qiu walked in front, while the sisters-in-law in the Wilderness behind her pointed at her.
"Tsk tsk, this person is really shameless, shameless. She actually has the face to come out and buy things."
"Aiya, sister-in-law, you don't know about this, right? If she had the face and skin, would she be able to do this?"
"I heard that Vice Squadron Leader Lu had an extra meal this afternoon. Tsk tsk, if Kang Xiaoqiao found out about this, wouldn't she vomit blood? In the past, the roof beams were filled with meat and all kinds of vegetables were available. Now, bah, they're all fed to the dog's stomach."
"Exactly. Eating other people's food, using other people's food, and still thinking about other people's men. This woman is really--"
"Aiya, you guys still don't know, right? Kang Xiaoqiao is currently staying at her mother-in-law's house. I heard that her mother-in-law didn't agree to the divorce and supported Kang Xiaoqiao."
"Really? Tsk tsk, Kang Xiaoqiao really found a good husband-in-law's house. So, she doesn't want the child anymore?"
"Tsk, for such a person, who knows whose child it might be--"
...
Everyone was talking at the same time. Zheng Qiu returned to the courtyard in a huff and threw the soy sauce and salt onto the stone table, sulking alone.
Coincidentally, Mei Zi, who had just come out of the house, saw her. She was now pregnant, and her face had become much fatter.
She walked out clumsily and said gently as she walked, "Xiao Qiu, what happened? Who bullied you?"
Zheng Qiu pouted and said like an airbag, "No one bullied me. I--"
Mei Zi pursed her lips and smiled. "Did you hear someone say something bad again?"
Zheng Qiu could not suppress the anger in her heart when she heard that.
"Mei Zi, they're just being unfair for you. What right do they have to say that about you? You were clearly the one who suffered the most. Now, you've become that evil woman who occupies the magpie's nest. She, Kang Xiaoqiao, has become the pitiful worm in everyone's mouth. And the Xia family, the Xia family actually protected her."
"If it weren't for her, Kang Xiaoqiao, why would you suffer so much? You would have married Lu Yichen a long time ago. Maybe this child is his. You--"
Before she could finish, Mei Zi smiled faintly and touched her big belly. "Xiao Qiu--"
Zheng Qiu turned her head fiercely. "Hmph, I know you don't like to hear it, but--"
Mei Zi's smile seemed to be able to resolve all her worries. Zheng Qiu, who was about to explode from anger, instantly weakened.
Mei Zi touched her belly again and said, "Xiao Qiu, are you regretting it?"
Zheng Qiu bit her lower lip hard and said, "I'm not regretting it."
Mei Zi's eyes were misty and full of tears. She said with a melancholic expression, "Brother Chen hasn't gotten a divorce yet, and my side is still in a stalemate. Brother Chen and I can't be together, but Ran Xing will be back soon--"
Zheng Qiu instantly raised her head to look at Mei Zi when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with stubbornness and her lips were trembling as she said, "He... even if he comes back, I... I--"
Mei Zi smiled when she heard this and said, "You're helping me so much because you want to wait for Ran Xing to come back. When he sees that Brother Chen and I are already in the same boat, he'll give up. That way, you'll have a chance. I understand."
Zheng Qiu looked at Mei Zi with a surprised expression. Mei Zi smiled and said, "Xiao Qiu, don't worry. I won't make things difficult for you. I'll explain it to Ran Xing. He won't blame you."
Zheng Qiu only found her voice after a long time. She lowered her head and said with some shame, "You... how did you know?"
Mei Zi smiled and sat on the stone bench. She stroked her belly and said, "We grew up together. You always poke at me when you see me. You pity me and hate me. Actually, I know it in my heart."
Zheng Qiu looked up at her and turned her head away. "Then why did you agree to my suggestion and follow me?"
Mei Zi smiled and said sadly, "Because I have nowhere else to go."
Zheng Qiu turned around and looked at Mei Zi in a daze. Mei Zi continued, "No matter how much you hate me, you never have any ill intentions towards me. Moreover, when I was in my most difficult time, you always stood up for me. We grew up together. I know your character."
Zheng Qiu bit her lower lip and lowered her head. "Ran Xing, Ran Xing was left to you by Lu Yichen. Moreover, Ran Xing's feelings for you... You, you should marry him. It's better than the life you're living now. You, why are you doing this?"
When Mei Zi heard this, she looked at the sun on the horizon, then muttered to herself, "If I don't marry Brother Chen, will who I marry will be different? Moreover, hehe, do I have a choice?"
When Zheng Qiu heard this, she bit her lower lip again. That's right, how could Mei Zi have a choice?
How could her stepmother be willing to watch her happy life?
If Mei Zi married Ran Xing, it would be like falling into a nest of fortune. However, it would not be of any benefit to her stepmother. Therefore, when Ran Xing was busy with other things, she married Mei Zi off with lightning speed.
What was done was done. Even if Ran Xing returned, what could he do?
Ran Xing's family was afraid that he would come back and cause trouble, so they forced him to stay in the northwest. However, in the end, they could not keep the fire under wraps. With Ran Xing's feelings for Mei Zi, Zheng Qiu was afraid that when the time came--
The two of them were silent for a long while before Zheng Qiu said, "The Luo family seems to be going through a lot recently. Two of them went in, and a lot of things were involved."
"Oh," Mei Zi replied indifferently. When Zheng Qiu saw this, she said with a resentful look, "You don't take it seriously? Don't you hate him at all?"
Mei Zi looked at her, then touched her belly and said, "He's enough for me--"
Zheng Qiu was choked to the point that she could not say a word. She really did not understand Mei Zi's brain.
Lu Yichen, who was listening to Xiao Wang's report, frowned, and his eyes were full of coldness.
"Deputy Company Commander Lu, that kid called Lan Tian comes to pick up sister-in-law every day to go to school. Sister-in-law ignores him, so he quietly follows behind--"
"Deputy Company Commander Lu, that kid called Lan Tian sent sister-in-law a bouquet of flowers today. Sister-in-law was quite happy and put it in the front basket of the bicycle."
"Vice-Captain Lu, that kid called Lan Tian sent sister-in-law another bouquet of flowers today. The two of them even exchanged a few words along the way, which made sister-in-law laugh."
"VICE-CAPTAIN LU... "
