Chapter 453 Reported
Li Dongmei seemed to have made up her mind. “I think he’s a good guy, too. I want to live a city life, and I accept my second marriage.”

Lin Jiayi then said, “What’s wrong with a second marriage? Some people are just too conservative. People in the city are eager to marry their third or fourth marriages, let alone their second. Besides, people in the city are educated. People say that educated people have high quality and love their wives.”

Li Dongmei’s face suddenly turned red. “I just think he’s a good guy, but I’m afraid mom won’t agree to the marriage…”

Lin Jiayi suddenly changed the subject, “Speaking of weddings, when I was buying meat today, I saw a family in the village holding a wedding banquet. The man was a clerk in the commune, and he married a woman from the village. I heard that the man’s family was not happy at first, but the woman was very clever and got the man before she did anything. She was pregnant with a baby, so the man’s family had to agree and hold a big wedding banquet for them.”

“Ah, if you get pregnant before you get married, you will be drowned in spit.”

Li Dongmei completely forgot about the previous topic and her eyes were wide open.

“Oh, who cares? No matter what those people say, who can lose a piece of meat? On the contrary, if a woman marries a man and has a husband who works as a clerk in the countryside, she will have a life of luxury. If the man succeeds and becomes an official, she will be the wife of an official. What else can others say? Anything they say is just sour grapes.”

After Lin Jiayi finished speaking, she looked at the sky outside and said, “Oh, I haven’t fed the chickens yet, and it’s getting dark.”

Li Dongmei looked at Lin Jiayi’s hurried back, her mind full of sour grapes.

……………………

Not long after Lin Chuxia returned to the city, Zhang Guilan caught up with her.

It wasn’t that Zhang Guilan had to follow Lin Chuxia to the city, she really had no choice.

On that day, the vegetable truck from Qinjia Village Vegetable Station was supposed to deliver vegetables to Qinji Restaurant on time, but Qin Han drove a truck to deliver the vegetables, and Zhang Guilan also came with him.

When Lin Chuxia learned the news, Qin Han had already brought Zhang Guilan and Qin Juan to the family compound.

I don’t know if it’s because of all the traveling or what, but Zhang Guilan doesn’t look very well.

When getting off the car, Qin Juan was still worried and said, “I told you to go to my place. My place is closer to the restaurant. Look how bad you look. You are pregnant. What if you get hurt?”

Zhang Guilan had already seen Lin Chuxia and waved at her. Lin Chuxia quickly walked forward and held her hand.

Zhang Guilan then spoke weakly, “I don’t know where to stay. I can only feel at ease if I stay with my brother and sister-in-law.”

Although Lin Chuxia didn’t know what happened, she could see Zhang Guilan’s state and quickly comforted her, “Then stay by my side for as long as you want. Have you eaten? I’ll get you something to eat.”

Zhang Guilan shook her head, “I can’t eat now.”

Qin Juan also said, “Xia Xia, you talk to them. I’ll go to the kitchen to make them something to eat.”

Qin Juan had lived with Lin Chuxia for a while before and was familiar with every corner of the kitchen.

The guest room had been left there ever since Qin Juan moved out. Lin Chuxia didn’t want to ask Zhang Guilan anything more, so she sent her to the guest room to rest first.

After everything was settled, he asked Qin Han, “What happened?”

Qin Han had a look of indignation on his face, and without Zhang Guilan present, he did not hide the coldness in his eyes.

“We were reported. The other party reported us anonymously. I don’t know what they said to the Family Planning Office. They knew that our second child was an extra birth.”

“how come?”

Lin Chuxia’s voice couldn’t help but become a few notches higher.

According to the current family planning policy, urban couples can only have one child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.

In rural areas, if the first child is a daughter, you can have a second child after four years. Qin Wu’s family meets the policy requirements.

If the first child is a boy, they are not allowed to have a second child. This is also because taking care of rural areas is hard work and requires heavy labor.

Qin Han’s first child, Zhuangzhuang, is a boy, which does violate the policy. But now Zhang Guilan is almost eight months pregnant, and the baby in her belly has already taken shape.

Qin Han nodded. “The village chief came to our house early this morning and sent us a letter, asking us to come out and hide for a while. We packed our things and hurried out.”

Lin Chuxia nodded. She certainly knew the direction of the current policy.

“Don’t worry about leaving my sister-in-law here. I will take good care of her and will go back after she finishes her confinement.”

Seeing her attitude, Qin Han couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s not necessary. You can take your sister-in-law back home after she gives birth. Mom is still waiting to take care of her during the confinement period.”

Qin Juan cooked two bowls of noodles and added poached eggs. Qin Han and Zhang Guilan each had one bowl.

In fact, there were ready-made meals at Qinji Restaurant, but Zhang Guilan was not in the mood to eat. Now that she saw Lin Chuxia and had rested for a while, she felt hungry.

They each ate a bowl of noodles, and Lin Chuxia repeated what she had said to Qin Han to Zhang Guilan.

Zhang Guilan finally had some peace of mind, and she felt relieved when she saw Lin Chuxia.

He smiled and replied, “I have been shamelessly staying at my brother-in-law’s place for a while. Originally, Xiao Wu’s wife came over these two days and told me to rest. Now, I am going to the city to rest.”

“Sister-in-law, why are you still being so distant with me?”

Qin Juan also spoke up, “Yes, you can stay at your sister-in-law’s place for a few days, and then come to my place for a few days. How leisurely and comfortable it will be. Just don’t think about anything and take good care of your pregnancy. I don’t believe they can catch up with you here.”

At this moment, Qin Han and his wife finally felt at ease.

Qin Yang came back at noon, and Qin Juan also took Ningning over, and the family had a lively meal together.

Qin Han returned to Ancheng in the afternoon. Lin Chuxia was afraid that Zhang Guilan would have wild thoughts, so she waited for her to finish her nap and suggested that they go out for a walk when she saw that she had rested enough.

Zhang Guilan readily agreed.

When Qin’s Baozi Shop opened in the city, she lived there for a while.

But at that time, she was staring at the bun shop all day long, worried that she might not do a good job on the task assigned to her by her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, so she had no mood to wander around.

The baby is due in more than a month, and now that I have some free time, it’s a good opportunity to make two sets of small clothes for the baby and a few small quilts.

Qin Han left her enough money. Now the couple has a good income every month, so Zhang Guilan doesn’t have to be frugal.

The two of them did not go to the department store. Lin Chuxia took her directly to the small cloth shop that Jiang Hong introduced to her when she first arrived in the city.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the store, Zhang Guilan’s eyes lit up.

The only thing that can make a woman forget her worries is shopping.

The lady selling cloth was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling. She introduced her to several types of small cotton cloth that were both beautiful and comfortable.

In the end, Zhang Guilan and Lin Chuxia both had a lot in their hands.

The two had just gotten in the car and had not gone far when they saw a group of people gathered in front of them, blocking their way.

At the same time, Lin Chuxia saw a familiar figure…
