Chapter 374: Nice joke, don't make it next time
Hong Li immediately touched her belly and said, "If you don't like this boy, just marry him to our family."
Everyone started to make a noise: "See? You haven't even given birth yet, and there are already so many people rushing to get engaged."
Ning Ying smiled and said, "Qin Zhao and I will have to wait a few years before having a baby. We won't compete with the sisters-in-law for a wedding banquet. By then, you will have experience in raising children, so you can help me raise the baby."
"That would be great. You two are so good-looking. The babies you give birth to will surely be very pretty. We will be happy just by looking at them."
They chatted for a while, and then saw Du Qing feeding her son, so she left the house.
Zhou's mother enthusiastically brought out melon seeds, peanuts and several plates of fruit candies for everyone to eat.
"Xiaoying, you have to eat more. It's all thanks to you that I can hold my big fat grandson."
"Aunt, it's Sister Qing who has done well on her own. I'm just lending a hand."
"Don't be so modest. From now on, our Zhou Han will be your godson."
"Oh, then I have to wrap this red envelope a little thicker."
"Why give me a red envelope? The basket of goose eggs you brought is already enough."
They chatted for a while, and seeing that Du Qing was a little tired, they got up and left.
Zhou's mother saw them off and asked them to come home in a few days to attend the wedding.
After leaving Zhou's house, Hong Li whispered to Ning Ying, "See? The Zhou family came to serve Du Qing only after they saw that she had given birth to a son. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never met before."
"As long as Brother Dong treats Sister Qing well, everyone else will act according to his mood."
"That's true. Just like Liu Huahua, Wang Zhuang doesn't treat her and the three girls as human beings. That's why Old Lady Wang and Wang Erni are so angry."
"But these three girls are already of school age, why don't they go to school?"
"Hey, isn't it because Old Lady Wang is afraid that they will spend money? Studying is not as good as doing free labor at home. I heard that Old Lady Wang brought home a lot of matchboxes recently, and she lets the three girls make them every day."
"It's so pitiful."
"What's the point of us feeling sorry for them? I've gone to their place many times, but they just won't let the third girl go to school. This is all because of Liu Huahua, the mother. She can't even be strong enough, and the three children have to suffer under her thumb."
After the winter vacation, Ning Ying sorted out her books and planned to sell the ones she didn't need.
As a result, Daya stood at the door, her body pressed against the wall, her eyes constantly glancing at the pile of books in Ning Ying's hands.
It was so pitiful to look at.
"you want?"
Daya nodded and said, "Aunt Ying, can you give it to me? I want to teach my sister how to read after I learn it."
"This is a university book, you can't understand it."
Daya was suddenly a little disappointed.
Ning Ying couldn't bear it: "How about I bring you some elementary school books some other day?"
Daya's eyes suddenly lit up: "Thank you, auntie, but you have to keep it a secret for me. If my grandma finds out, she will beat me again."
"Okay, but Daya, if you really want to go to school, you have to ask your parents to send you to school. This is not a solution."
"Aunt, my grandma is afraid that it will delay my making matchboxes, so she won't let me go."
The more Ning Ying listened, the angrier she became. How much money could she make from making matchboxes? Was it worth sacrificing her child's future?
"What does your mother mean?"
"My mother asked me to learn it secretly, and she would teach me when she was free."
It seems that Liu Huahua is not that stupid, nor is she hopeless.
Ning Ying fulfilled her promise and brought back a set of elementary school textbooks for Daya when she went to the city.
Seeing that the textbooks were brand new, Daya held them in her arms tenderly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Aunt, I will definitely study hard."
"Auntie has been at home recently, and you don't come to ask Auntie."
"Oh, thank you, auntie."
Daya didn’t know how to thank Ning Ying, so she just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her three times.
Ning Ying quickly helped her up: "Girl, don't be like this. It's not that I don't want to help you. The key lies with your parents. This is all I can do."
"Aunt, it's enough for you to buy me some books. My mom...she has a hard time too."
Daya said this and ran away quickly.
Ning Ying couldn't help but sigh. How could Liu Huahua live her life like this, making her own child live a life that is neither human nor ghost.
Qin Zhao's face was gloomy when he returned from the army.
Ning Ying knew that someone in the company had gotten into trouble again, so she immediately made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
"What's wrong? Your face smells so bad?"
Qin Zhao stretched out his hand and held her in his arms: "Wife, did I scare you?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll get angry with yourself. Tell me if you have anything to say. Don't keep it to yourself."
"Wang Zhuang got into trouble and brought shame to the entire company."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He took advantage of his duty to have sex with Xue Wen."
Ning Ying was surprised. She had known for a long time that Xue Wen was a restless person, but she didn't expect that Wang Zhuang, who looked honest, would do such big things.
"When did the two of them get involved? We haven't heard any news in the family compound."
"It's been a while since these two have been very sneaky. Every time they come out, they use secret signals. If it weren't for a new recruit having diarrhea, they wouldn't have discovered this."
"How did the troops handle it?"
"After all, this is a personal issue. Besides, the families have forgiven the two men, so we can only dismiss him and let him start from the position of a private."
But Wang Zhuang is not young anymore. If he continues to be a private at this time, he may not be able to endure the hardship, and it will be difficult for him to be promoted in the future.
"Have the family members forgiven you?"
"Yes, Old Lady Wang took Liu Huahua to mediate in person."
"Liu Huahua didn't say anything?"
"What can she say? When Old Lady Wang glared at her, she wanted to kneel on the ground. How could this woman be so spineless?"
Ning Ying sighed: "Oh, she is really patient. The man put green socks on her feet, but she still had to smile."
"Wife, if this happens to you, what will you do?"
Ning Ying immediately looked at Qin Zhao with a smile: "Nothing to do."
"Why are you so good-tempered today?"
"What's the point of crying, making a fuss, and then hanging yourself? We have to solve the problem from the root."
Ning Ying exerted force with her hands, and Qin Zhao's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.
"Wife, I'm just joking with you."
"It's a good joke, don't make it next time."
Because of Wang Zhuang’s incident, the leaders of the entire company had to write a report.
Qin Zhao wrote furiously all night long. Ning Ying sat with him for a while and suddenly began to yawn.
"Wife, don't wait for me, go to bed first."
"The bed is cold..."
"Then I'll warm you up first before I write."
Ning Ying nodded lazily.
Qin Zhao smiled dotingly. His wife was quite cute when she wasn't losing her temper.
"Has Jin Hu called the army recently?"
"No, didn't he call home?"
"I've been waiting for so many days but I didn't get a call from him. Could something unexpected have happened again?"
