Knowing the whereabouts of Chiang Qing, Qi Taiguo’s heart is finally at ease. As long as she doesn’t show up in their living environnt, all will be well.
The days of May pass by, and this year, there’s an unusual amount of rain, as if Heaven had opened up a spout, with the rain falling nonstop all day.
In just over two months, Cheng Su will give birth, so her movents are very clumsy. Even when going out, she needs Qi Fengping to accompany her, and she walks very slowly.
Despite this, she insists on going out, thinking that moving around more will make childbirth easier in the future.
Back ho, whether it’s her in-laws’ or her own family, everyone is very tense. Mother Qi calls every day to inquire about Cheng Su’s situation, planning to co over in June to take care of her.
"Heaven, is it crazy today? The rain is pouring down so hard."
That day, after returning from school and getting off the bus, Qi Fengping hurriedly opened her umbrella, while helping Cheng Su get off slowly, saying, "Sister, be careful."
"Got it. You take care too, don’t catch a cold!" Cheng Su said.
"No worries, you are the most important." Qi Fengping positioned most of the umbrella to cover her.
The two sisters-in-law walked towards the compound. Soon, their shoes got wet, feeling very uncomfortable.
Finally spotting the yellow house of the military compound, they quickened their pace to get there.
"My goodness, is this like turning on a faucet or what!" At the entrance to the compound, Qi Fengping complained while folding the umbrella.
Cheng Su also brushed off so accidentally splashed water droplets from her clothes.
"I’m really looking for soone, not a fraud."
A voice entered Cheng Su’s ears. She looked up to see two people at the window of the guard room pleading with those inside, with a white tarp bag at their feet.
It was a man and a woman, wearing old, shabby clothes. The man’s jacket even had two large tears.
From the side, this person looked sowhat familiar!
The baby carried by the woman beside the man started crying. The woman quickly soothed it, turning her head to et Cheng Su’s gaze.
Cheng Su gasped.
"What’s wrong?" Qi Fengping quickly turned to her and saw Cheng Su pointing in front. Upon looking, she was stunned: "Big sister-in-law?"
Isn’t that Liu Wenjing, who had eloped with the brother-in-law and hadn’t been seen for a long ti?
Liu Wenjing tugged at the man’s sleeve beside her. The man ca to his senses; it was Deng Weixia.
"Cousin," Qi Fengping exclaid.
Cheng Su’s face dropped, becoming long. After disappearing for so long without a trace, why are they showing up here now?
"Sister-in-law," Deng Weixia was initially stunned to see Cheng Su, then he called out.
Liu Wenjing also greeted, and that’s when the crying of a baby in her arms was heard. Only then did Cheng Su realize that there was a baby in a carrier on her chest, crying loudly.
Looking at the two of them, calling them disheveled would not be an exaggeration. Their clothes were old and tattered, and drenched in rain, they were dripping water.
As for Deng Weixia, with a face full of beard and long hair, if he took a bowl and squatted down, he’d look just like a beggar.
And Liu Wenjing, after not seeing her for years, once a demure, gentle-looking young woman, now had rough, coarse skin, looking several years older, even older than Deng Weixia.
These two eloped, disregarding moral decency and care for social taboos, and now they appear here, what could this an?
