Chapter 248: Small fullness leads to satisfaction, great fullness leads to overflow
The night was quiet and lonely.
In Zhou Yan's dream, that tragic mission replayed. The brothers in the regiment fought one after another, fighting in blood, falling in a pool of blood.
In the end, only a few of them remained, protecting Jiang Ye, who was at the end of his rope, and struggling to wait for reinforcements.
Suddenly, the unconscious Jiang Ye grabbed his throat, questioning him with sharp eyes why he had harmed him!
Why, why harm Jiang Ye?
He wouldn't harm Jiang Ye; how could he harm Jiang Ye?
"Waa."
The crying of a child came from all directions of the battlefield. He painfully covered his ears and let out a neigh like a trapped beast—
"Ah—"
Zhou Yan woke up from the nightmare, his back all wet.
Why, why would he have such a dream?
His hand subconsciously touched the side, and then touched empty air!
Zhou Yan hurriedly felt for the flashlight, turned it on, and the room was empty.
Where was his wife?
A small postpartum month, one cannot get out of bed and see the wind!
"Xianxian?"
Just as he walked out of the room, looking for his wife everywhere, at the corner of the courtyard wall, he saw a bizarre scene...
"Child, don't resent Mom, Mom really didn't mean it..."
"You will come back to Mom's belly, right?"
"Mom will burn this Hundred Families Quilt right now and never believe these ghost stories again."
Ji Xianxian was kneeling on the ground, muttering mysteriously, burning something, fire and thick smoke rising everywhere.
The flashlight in Zhou Yan's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
He heard it; his wife was talking about the Hundred Families Quilt, what ghost stories?
So, the fetus was because his wife did something, that's why...
This night was destined to be sleepless.
In contrast, in the Capital's Railway Bureau Jiashuyuan, Gu Yinyin was eating well after being discharged from the hospital.
She had a particularly good appetite recently, and the child in her belly was also very active. The doctor said that she was pregnant with a boy, who was particularly healthy and lively.
Her in-laws treated her like a treasure, cherishing her and the child in her belly.
Through this incident, she developed a reliance on her husband and in-laws and completely accepted her husband.
Perhaps her husband wasn't smart, but he was good to her, and that was enough.
People who lacked love from a young age were very sensitive and selfish about love.
She was very content now; she had people who loved her, and people she loved. In the future, she would be a good wife, a good mother, and a good daughter-in-law!
After Mother Liu brought the chicken soup for her daughter-in-law to finish, she left the room.
That master really had some skills.
Another day, she would find time to thank the other party again.
On the sofa, Bureau Chief Liu was smoking a cigar, talking to someone on the phone.
"Yes, I do want to visit the teacher this weekend. I wonder if Brother Li has time to go together?"
"Good, good, good, then I'll drive to pick you up at that time, it's a deal."
"Mm, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Bureau Chief Liu rubbed his brows tiredly, reached out to take the teacup, and took a sip of strong tea.
Mother Liu walked over, refilled her husband's tea, and didn't forget to mutter:
"You, smoke less at home in the future, cigars are not allowed either. Yinyin is pregnant, it's bad for her health."
"Sigh, my spirit hasn't been good lately. I don't know if it's because of fatigue. It's like this when you get old. If I don't smoke a couple of puffs, I have no spirit."
While explaining to his wife, Bureau Chief Liu sheepishly extinguished the cigar.
He hadn't seen his daughter-in-law come out of the room to recuperate for the past few days, so he thought he would finish smoking quickly.
Mother Liu put down the teapot, sat beside her husband, lowered her voice, and asked:
"You made an appointment with Old Li, do you want to take Tingchen to the teacher's house this weekend?"
"That's right, Tingchen's performance during this period has been very good, it's time to take him to see the teacher."
Bureau Chief Liu nodded, his body relaxed, leaning on the sofa, answering his wife's question.
That was what he said, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"Although the two families are in-laws, Tingchen is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and his character is not steady enough. Does our Liu family really want to lift him up?"
As a woman, Mother Liu had her intuition.
A man who divorced his original wife less than half a year after marriage and remarried immediately had great ambition, but his age and experience were still far behind.
Could such a person really be trusted?
"We have no choice. Since he wants power, we will lift him up to get power."
As for profit, that girl from the Ye family is not a simple girl.
Their Liu family and the Ye family are grasshoppers on the same boat.
He can help the Ye family girl marry Gu Tingchen and hold the other party's handle. As Gu Tingchen's pillow partner, in the future, not to mention being used by him, but with the handle in his hand, she will take care of his children and grandchildren.
If not, if the fish dies and the net breaks, the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, who will win is still unknown...
Mother Liu sighed gloomily. If their own son were normal, where would they, the couple, go to fully lift up an outsider.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is simple and easy to handle.
Gu Tingchen has a trace of guilt for this sister, which can guarantee her children and grandchildren worry-free for decades.
If the grandson is a bit more competitive, their Liu family still has hope of making a comeback...
The two scheming people were plotting the future of the Liu family outside, while the simple and innocent young couple was whispering in the room—
"Xiongying, do you think our child looks like you or me?"
"Like, like you."
"Why? Don't you want the child to look like you?"
"Don't look like me, stupid. Like you, smart."
"Fool, you are really a big fool."
"Yes, I am a fool, hehe."
Liu Xiongying gave a silly laugh. His child, like his wife, wouldn't be mocked by others in the future.
His eldest sister said that as long as he was good to his wife, his wife would like him and would play with him.
He was obedient. His parents said that obedient children are good children.
So his parents would often reward him with candies and chocolates.
He saved them all for his wife to eat, for the future child to eat.
Gu Yinyin didn't know if it was because of pregnancy, but her emotions were easily ignited, easily moved, and easily cried.
Just like now, she understood that her husband wanted the child to be a normal person, so that they wouldn't have to be discriminated against and looked down upon like him.
Originally, she had disliked her husband and felt that the other party was a fool who wasn't worthy of her.
But now, facts proved that she was wrong.
Her husband was silly, but his love for her was pure and flawless.
Her parents-in-law both had jobs and were still a few years away from retirement. Their family foundation was thick enough to subsidize their small family.
Her brother's official career was smooth. Looking at her father-in-law's meaning, he was going to lift her brother to go further in his official career.
Her brother told her privately to rest assured, that he would always be her brother, and her brother's home would always be her maiden home.
In the future, her brother would also treat her child as his own and give her nephew the best educational resources.
Her sister-in-law was also very gentle and close to her.
After her grandfather knew her current situation, he was relieved and felt much more at ease.
She, Gu Yinyin, had realized her dream of living a superior life by marrying.
The only imperfection was her husband's intellectual problem.
Small fullness leads to satisfaction, great fullness leads to overflow.
Where in life are there so many perfections?
It seemed that everything was developing in a good direction. ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
