Gu Xiaobei ignored it as if he had seen or heard nothing.
Chen Qiumei seemed to realize she had said too much. Looking at Gu Xiaobei, she said, "We've been here for half a day, and you haven't even poured us some water."
Gu Xiaobei not only poured them water, but also prepared their midday meals.
Having had lunch, Gu Weimin and Chen Qiumei left in a hurry, ignoring the rain outside.
This made Gu Xiaobei believe his suspicion: these two were visiting under the pretense of helping with the children, but they had other motives!
...
The rain continued for three days, and Gu Xiaobei couldn't go out to the markets with the two kids. Wen Xiuqing came by early in the morning every day to bring some vegetables and meat.
Gu Xiaobei looked at the gloomy sky and sighed to Wen Xiuqing, "This rain never stops, and Xiaopang and Mo Wang are pacing around inside the house all fretful."
