After Duan Minghua and the others left, Lu Yao pulled Duan Mingjie and asked.
"Is my sister-in-law's death related to her mother's family?"
Duan Mingjie nodded.
"My sister-in-law is very beautiful. Many men want to marry her, but she just wants to marry my eldest brother. Her family is not willing. They need someone to work for their family. The eldest brother is a soldier and works in the army all year round. There is no time to work for them outside.”
Hearing this, Lu Yao was speechless.
Do you have no sons at home and need your son-in-law to help with work?
"My second brother and I saw that my eldest brother really liked my sister-in-law, so we promised my eldest sister-in-law's family that if my eldest brother was not at home, we brothers could go work at his house."
Lu Yao blinked. The brothers were really united.
"In my memory, my sister-in-law was very gentle and kind to us brothers and sisters. Although she agreed to her natal family before getting married, she insisted not to let us go after the marriage. We also learned that the eldest sister-in-law did not live in her natal family before getting married. not good."
As he spoke, Duan Mingjie's voice choked up, "Later, the army came to our house to report the funeral. My sister-in-law was so sad that she lay in bed for several days. When she finally made up her mind to raise the two children no matter what, her natal family People are coming.”
Lu Yao frowned.
"After my eldest brother died, the army gave him a subsidy of 300 yuan. My eldest sister-in-law's family insisted on leaving them all. It was very ugly to say that this was the money my eldest brother sacrificed his life for. My eldest sister-in-law would definitely not give it to them, and she even had a big quarrel with them. One."
Lu Yao was almost furious, "How could there be such parents!"
"The eldest sister-in-law's natal family is similar to Zhang Xia's natal family, but the eldest sister-in-law understands better than Zhang Xia and has been working hard to run her own family. My mother also felt sorry for her and asked her to give her natal family a hundred yuan. The eldest sister-in-law was determined. Refuse."
Lu Yao: "You said my sister-in-law committed suicide, why?"
"Her family didn't get the money and they didn't have a son-in-law, so they wanted to take the sister-in-law away and find her a new family."
Lu Yao closed her eyes, opened her mouth and cursed, "There's something wrong!"
"My sister-in-law was mentally fragile during that time. Her parents saw that she was unwilling to go back, so they brought the man to our house and said they wanted to go on a blind date."
Lu Yao opened her eyes wide. Is this still a human?
Thinking of what happened that day, Duan Mingjie couldn't help but feel irritated.
Everyone scolded the sister-in-law for not knowing how to behave, saying that she couldn't wait to find a man even though her husband hadn't been dead for a month.
But her mother-in-law didn't care about her reputation at all and threatened that if she didn't agree, she would bring a man with her every day from now on.
Duan Mingjie still remembers the scene when his sister-in-law hugged his mother and cried loudly, saying she was sorry.
Her mother told her that it was okay, that she would help her raise the child together, and not to care about what outsiders thought.
But that night, the sister-in-law committed suicide.
"My sister-in-law may have been stimulated by her family's words about bringing men to blind dates every day. In addition, her eldest brother just died not long ago. She may not want too many evil people to disturb his undead soul. Or she may not be able to hold on. I want to find big brother."
By the time they found out in the morning it was already too late.
Lu Yao lamented, "I find that I am quite happy. At least my parents don't favor boys over girls."
Even after Lu Jianguo had a son, he didn't treat her badly. Even if he said a few unpleasant words, it was for her own good.
My eldest sister-in-law's family bullied her out of spite.
"It would be great if my eldest sister-in-law is still alive. My eldest brother must feel very guilty. When he goes back, there will probably be some trouble."
Lu Yao: "You and your mother should go back with your eldest brother. My eldest brother has a special status. It would be better for my mother to say some things so as not to have a bad influence on him."
Duan Mingjie: "Let mother and second brother go back with you. You are pregnant now. I don't trust you at home alone."
"It would be nice to let our dad live at home. If Zhiwei and Yanyan also go back to their hometown, I will go back to his house with our dad."
After learning that she was pregnant, Zheng Hongye and the others came to see her and wanted her to go back and stay for a while.
"That won't work either. I don't feel at ease if you're not with me."
Duan Mingcheng brought Xia Guihua to the capital early the day after tomorrow.
Duan Mingjie drove to pick them up.
The moment they saw Duan Minghua, the two brothers hugged each other tightly.
Duan Minghua took them to the hospital to see Lu Yao.
After learning that Lu Yao was pregnant, Duan Mingcheng and Xia Guihua were surprised. They thought that Lu Yao would have another child after graduation.
Lu Yao touched her belly and said, "It's fate that the child is here."
I used to think it would be troublesome to have a child too early, but now I think it would be nice to have a child.
It feels amazing to think that after more than eight months, a little guy like Duan Mingjie or her will be born.
Gu Fulan said on the side, "Lao San, go ask the doctor and see if Yaoyao can go home for a day and let's have a reunion dinner together."
Hearing this, Lu Yao's eyes lit up, "Mom, I have nothing to do now. I'll go home and lie down. I don't want to be here anymore."
Duan Mingjie: "I'll ask the doctor."
Lu Yao nodded wildly.
After a while, the doctor came over and gave Lu Yao a brief examination.
"It's okay to go home, but three months ago, especially within the past month, don't do strenuous exercise, try not to get out of bed within half a month, and don't catch a cold."
After saying that, the doctor specifically said to Lu Yao, "You can't eat hawthorn within a month."
Lu Yao blushed, "I know."
Duan Mingjie asked some more precautions, and he wrote them down one by one.
"Doctor, will my wife be able to go to school in half a month?"
The doctor nodded, "Yes, but you still have to pay attention. This pregnancy is not easy. You should be careful and come over in half a month to check on it just to be on the safe side."
Duan Mingjie: "Okay."
Duan Mingjie was about to go through the discharge procedures, but was stopped by Duan Minghua.
"You stay and take care of your siblings, I'll go."
After completing the discharge procedures, Duan Mingjie went out to a phone booth and called Zheng Weiguo to tell him that Yaoyao was discharged from the hospital.
Duan Minghua drove them home.
In the evening, the family gathered together for a reunion dinner. Rhubarb lay quietly at Duan Minghua's feet, waiting for Duan Minghua to feed him.
Lu Yao was very surprised.
"Dahuang and eldest brother are very close."
Duan Mingjie explained, "The eldest brother is his master, so of course he is close to him."
Lu Yao: "Isn't Dahuang very old?"
Duan Mingjie nodded, "8 years old."
After the eldest brother's accident, Dahuang followed Duan Mingjie. Fortunately, the relationship between one person and one dog developed quickly. But after seeing Duan Minghua, he forgot about Duan Mingjie.
Seeing Dahuang's docile look, Lu Yao found it funny.
"Rhubarb isn't a military dog in the army, is it?"
