I don’t know what Zhou Shilin said to the instructor. In the following days, Shen Xuening and Zhao Suqin didn’t bother Wen Qian to apologize. Besides, Zhao Suqin didn’t care. She was pregnant. As soon as she found out, she showed it off all over the courtyard, even walking with help. Bend your waist.
People in the compound laughed at her behind her back for showing off.
"As if someone has never been pregnant before, her belly is bulging out just after she got pregnant. She keeps saying that she likes to eat sour food. Before she even shows her pregnancy, she says that she is carrying a son. It will be a boy or a girl. Forget it."
"She just favors boys over girls."
"I wanted to send Zhaodi back before, but she didn't want her, so I brought her back because I had no choice. In the past two days, I always heard her ordering the child to bring tea and water. It's pitiful for such a young child to wait for her biological child. Once she was born, there was no place for her in this family."
Everyone was talking about it.
Zhao Suqin had a new idea.
Zhaodi definitely couldn't have her. A child separated by a layer of belly would have no biological relatives. An extra mouth would mean an extra expense. If it doesn't work, just throw it away.
No one expected what was about to happen.
Wen Qian's life returned to peace. She went to work as usual and set up a stall after get off work.
The stocking business was in full swing, and she asked Shanzi to consign another batch of goods. When all the goods were sold, she would earn about 1,200 yuan. Adding the existing funds on hand, the total would be almost 4,500 yuan.
One step closer to becoming a household worth 10,000 yuan.
When I was thinking about a bright future, two women suddenly appeared next to the stall, and they were selling stockings.
"Stockings, mid-length stockings, 3.8 yuan, rompers, 5.8 yuan!"
The price is two cents cheaper than what Wen Qian sells.
After the two shouted, all the customers in Wen Qian's stall were attracted to him.
"I'll get a pair!"
"I want a pair of pantyhose!"
The women were very enthusiastic, as if they were afraid that the boss would regret it, and it was twenty cents cheaper.
The two women were beaming with joy, and glanced at Wen Qian proudly, with a look that didn't deserve a beating.
Wen Qian was not someone who just kept silent and suffered losses. She had an idea as soon as she rolled her eyes.
He immediately shouted loudly.
"Three yuan for mid-calf stockings and five yuan for pantyhose."
Eight cents down!
Customers who were planning to pay came back again.
It would be a fool not to take advantage of it, so everyone clamored to buy it.
When the two women saw it, they lost their composure and yelled at the top of their lungs: "Mid-calf socks are two and a half yuan, and pantyhose are four and a half yuan."
Wen Qian shouted again.
"Two yuan for mid-calf socks and three and a half yuan for pantyhose."
The two women gritted their teeth and then surrendered.
"Mid-calf socks are one and a half yuan, and pantyhose are three yuan."
Wen Qian followed calmly.
"Mid-calf socks are $2, and pantyhose are $2.5."
The two women shouted out as soon as their minds got hot: "One piece of mid-calf stockings and two pieces of pantyhose."
After shouting this sentence, Wen Qian was still waiting for him to continue to follow. Wen Qian stopped shouting and even said to the hesitant customers: "Buy quickly, the price of cabbage is only one or two yuan, what are you waiting for if you don't want to pick up the wool?" "
The customers suddenly became excited.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the two women's stalls were surrounded by water.
"I'll buy three pairs."
"I'll buy five pairs."
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and collect the money."
"Hey, why did you run away!"
The price of one or two yuan was a loss-making price. The two women were also eager to follow the trend because the business was good. Unexpectedly, they were beaten by an army. In the end, they could only drag the goods away in despair.
If it's any later, the goods will be snatched away.
Wen Qian drove away her competitors without much effort. She was in a good mood. When she was happy, she offered a big price reduction and sold dozens of pairs in one go.
It's different from Wen Qian's smooth sailing.
Shen Xuening was gloomy here.
Although the instructor did not pursue the matter of courting Aixin, he still had doubts in his heart, and his attitude towards the two siblings also became subtle.
He even informed them to move out of the family home as soon as possible.
"Xiao Shen, our family home is in short supply of housing, and there are many family members who endure the pain of being separated from their husbands and wives..."
Come out of the instructor's office.
Shen Xuening's face turned pale.
This was called losing the wife and losing the troops. She planned a battle hard, but ended up being kicked out of the family home. Liang Fu was also punished and suspended for inspection. On the contrary, Wen Qian escaped unscathed.
This time, she lost completely.
But she won't leave just like that...
afternoon.
The rain pattered.
Wen Qian did not leave the stall, but stood by the window and watched Shen Xuening go upstairs all wet, with a sneer in her eyes. Shen Xuening would not give up easily, and she was also ready to fight back.
Everything has just begun.
Shen Xuening was kicked out of the family home, probably because of Zhou Shilin's handiwork.
Thinking of the man who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, Wen Qian felt soft in her heart. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it while listening to the rain. It was very comfortable. Before she could swallow a sip of tea, a wailing cry suddenly sounded.
"Zhaodi, my Zhaodi!"
"Where have you been? My Zhaodi is missing!"
Zhao Suqin cried till she had snot and tears: "I just took a nap, and when I woke up, the child was gone. She was so small, and it was still raining outside. Wow, if I can't find Zhaodi, I won't be able to live anymore..." "
The crying was so noisy that it gave people a headache.
Du Chunfeng arranged for the military wife who had no children at home to help them go out to search.
"Everyone please stay safe."
Wen Qian held an umbrella and joined the team looking for the child. She quite liked the little girl Zhaodi. In such weather, it was too dangerous for the child to be outside alone.
Everyone wants to find the child as soon as possible.
But things went against expectations, and even after searching around the area, there was no sign of Zhao Di.
The rain became heavier and heavier, from light rain to pouring rain. The wind and rain were so strong that the umbrellas of several military wives were blown away.
The dark clouds came down, and half of the sky was dark. Just like everyone's heavy heart, if they couldn't find the child again... everyone didn't dare to think about it, so they could only expand the search area.
soon.
The army received the news and sent people to support.
Wen Qian and Du Chunfeng returned to the courtyard in the rain.
After being rained for more than an hour, her whole body was wet and cold. As soon as she got home, Wen Qian rushed into the bathroom, shivering, heated up hot water and scrubbed her body, and wrung her hair with a dry towel.
Even so, she still had a fever.
Maybe he was too tired during this period, and the symptoms were triggered by being exposed to the rain. Wen Qian felt that the disease was overwhelming, his body ached as if he had been run over by a car, his head felt dizzy, his forehead felt hot, and he breathed out His breath was boiling hot.
Maybe a nap would be fine.
Wen Qian was wrapped in quilt, half asleep and very uncomfortable. There was a soft click outside the door, as if someone had come in. She wanted to say that she felt so uncomfortable, but the sound she made was a low moan.
Zhou Shilin, who had just stepped into the house, froze on the spot.
This voice... sounds so familiar.
Why is it so similar to the sound when Wen Qian moaned softly under her that night? Could it be that this woman was under her...
Thinking of what might have happened in the bedroom, Zhou Shilin's ears turned red. He cleared his throat forcefully and called out "Wen Qian". No one answered. What responded to him was a low cough from a woman.
Is she sick?
