Chapter 142 Fresh Longan

"Oh my, Zuo Jinyue, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, some people wouldn't have come to see Grandma." After not seeing each other for more than a month, Wu Jinfeng was taking the initiative.

"Grandma, Grandma, I've missed you so much!" Du Hongxue took Jin Yue and bypassed Wu Jinfeng to the old lady's side. He hugged the old lady and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, I have good news for you. You're going to be a father again."

"Really?" the old lady exclaimed, slapping Du Hongxue on the back. "You brat, this is a good thing, why are you hiding it? Jin Yue, sit down, sit down, don't stand. Jin Feng, Cui Hua, tell Aunt Chen in the kitchen to be careful, make the dishes lighter, and add two more dishes that Jin Yue likes."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go tell her right away." Wu Jinfeng turned and went to the kitchen. This... isn't like her at all? Why didn't she say anything? Du Hongxue looked at her again and again, then turned to look at his mother. Li Yan shook her head. She didn't know, and decided to let it go. It was rare for her to be so peaceful.

After sitting for a while, Zuo Jinyue got up and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw her aunt and younger aunt chatting at the gate. Her aunt seemed a bit strange today; she wasn't "busy" in the main room at all, but kept interrupting and making small talk.

Zuo Jinyue subconsciously looked at the two people's mouths. Her aunt asked, "Sister-in-law, where did you run off to? You disappeared in no time. Oh, why did you buy fresh longans? These things are really expensive now."

"That's right, not only are they expensive, but they're also hard to find. I ran around the whole place and only managed to buy a few kilograms." Wu Jinfeng was still a little out of breath.

"Then why did you bother buying this? The old lady doesn't like this kind of food." Feng Cuihua knew that her sister-in-law usually liked to spend a little money to buy the old lady some food that she liked to make her happy.

Wu Jinfeng looked around, and Jin Yue instinctively hid behind a pillar. "I bought these fresh longans for Zuo Jin Yue."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so generous. When did you start liking her so much? I didn't know that!" Feng Cuihua felt like she couldn't keep up with the conversation.

Wu Jinfeng said angrily, "What do you like? I like her? Dream on. Not long ago, my nephew wanted to get into their school, so I asked her to help me find the principal. She made all sorts of excuses, saying that my nephew's grades were too bad and that his registered residence was not there, so it couldn't be done. Honestly, if it were that easy, would we have asked her? My sister-in-law has scolded me a lot for this."

It seems there was such a thing. Zuo Jinyue thought about it and realized that the child did not meet the requirements. Besides, the child not only had poor grades, but was also unruly. A teenager who smoked, drank, and got into fights, and had reportedly been to the police station twice, their school would definitely not accept him.

"So you bought such expensive fruit to coax her, still for your nephew's sake?"

“Trying to fool her? Dream on! My nephew has stopped going to school.” Wu Jinfeng looked around again. “There’s a woman on my mother’s side who miscarried. I heard it was because she ate too many fresh longans. The doctor said that you can’t eat too many fresh longans in the first few months of life because they promote blood circulation.”

"Oh, sister-in-law, what if...?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I didn't poison her. I'm illiterate and don't know anything about such things. At most, I just meant well but did something wrong. And maybe nothing will happen, it'll just be a charade, and I'll even lose money! Aren't they all educated people? They're either doctors or college graduates. Look at how smug Du Hongxue is every day, let them do whatever they want!"

"Sister-in-law, this...this is too risky, isn't it?" Feng Cuihua was a little frightened.
