Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 946 - 772: A Child’s Thoughts (Part 3)

"You’re crazy, what are you talking about?" Mei Langchi frowned, feeling impatient. "Enough, stop yelling outside, what will the neighbors think."

"I don’t care what they think, I’m in my own home, it’s none of their damn business. Let me tell you Mei Langchi, I could have given you a child, but why did things turn out this way? Why? What did I do wrong that even heaven isn’t helping me? Making my life so exhausting, even small wishes can’t be fulfilled. Mei Langchi, tell me why."

"You ask me why. Ha..." Mei Langchi laughed self-deprecatingly. "I want to ask heaven myself, why did I end up like this."

"Bastards, all you men are bastards. It’s because of you that I ended up like this. I hate you all."

"Humph, who don’t you hate? In your eyes, there’s no good person, everyone else is wrong. You’re just like that, Ye Qing. Take care of yourself." Mei Langchi said, leaving her, and went back inside.

Leaving Ye Qing crying and laughing alone on the ground for a while, she eventually lay on the ground and fell asleep.

By midnight, Ye Qing was awakened by the cold.

She looked up at the sky, and it had started to snow. Ye Qing had blackout drunk last night, she couldn’t remember how she got here.

Seeing the large snowflakes, she quickly went back inside, drank a cup of hot water, and sat on the bed to warm up.

Once her mind cleared, Ye Qing remembered Lin Wan’s protruding belly, grinding her teeth in hatred.

She lowered her head to touch her own belly; she wasn’t worse than Lin Wan. She had a son from her first pregnancy; her belly was more promising than Lin Wan’s.

If she had another one, she could still be better than Lin Wan. She would have an outstanding son again, this time she would definitely give birth to a child of the Mei Family. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yes, yes, she could do it. She recently found an old doctor who could reset her fallopian tubes. She could do it, once she had that surgery.

...

"Ai Yi, it’s snowing outside." Lin Wan woke up from sleep and went to the bathroom. When she returned, she saw the ground outside the window was already white.

"Is it cold? Come, I’ll hold you." Han Yi quickly got out of bed, pulling Lin Wan to lie down.

"I’m not cold, I just slept, I’m not sleepy now. You hurry up and sleep for a while." Lin Wan refused to lie down.

"Let’s sleep together, I can sleep better holding you." Han Yi laughed, pinching her slightly chubbier face.

Lin Wan gave him a sideways glance and pushed his hand away. "Stop messing around, hurry up and sleep, I’ll sit for a while, I’m afraid I’ll lie on the bed and press your incision."

"I told you it’s already healed, it’s just that the doctor insists on me staying two more days. If you don’t believe it, touch my incision, it doesn’t hurt at all." Han Yi said while pulling Lin Wan to lie down with him. "Be good, let’s sleep together, tomorrow I’ll be discharged."

Lin Wan embraced him according to his wishes and said, "Ai Yi, they mean for us to celebrate the New Year at Mei Family. Once you’re discharged, let’s live in the courtyard. We’ll stay until the end of the New Year."

"Alright. Tomorrow we’ll handle the discharge formalities early, we’ll both go over there to tidy up, see what’s missing, and buy some spares."

"Okay. Let’s let Little Star stay with godmother for a day first, we’ll pick her up after we finish tidying."

"Yes, there are many things to buy here compared to at home. You can stay at home waiting for me."

"No need to prepare much, just prepare a pair of bedding, a pot, and some utensils, we can make do with everything else since we won’t be staying long."

"You being like this, how can you make do? Save what should be saved, but don’t skimp on what shouldn’t be saved. Tomorrow you don’t need to handle tidying the house. Is your belly uncomfortable, do you need to raise your leg a bit?" Han Yi didn’t want to continue the conversation; he feared Lin Wan wouldn’t rest well. He quickly urged her to rest.

"Hmm, a bit uncomfortable."

"Then rest your leg on mine." In bed, Han Yi placed Lin Wan’s leg over his to try to make her more comfortable.

This woman carrying a pregnancy for ten months isn’t easy, and when the child is born, it will be even harder....

The next day, Han Yi and Lin Wan handled the discharge formalities. They briefed the care officer, letting him report back first.

Then he called godmother, telling her not to make any hospital trips.

He drove with Lin Wan back to the courtyard. Both Han Yi and Lin Wan were not familiar with it.

There wasn’t even firewood at home. After placing Lin Wan at home, Han Yi went out to find someone selling coal and firewood, purchasing five dollars worth of coal and two dollars worth of wood.

He also bought a stove, quickly had it installed. It came with a chimney so the smoke could be expelled outside, minimizing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning while providing warmth.

This place isn’t as warm as the north; there’s a heated kang in the north, not here. Heating relies on the stove.

Han Yi had just had the stove installed when Liang Qian arrived with Little Star, holding a pair of large quilts.

"I knew you two would come live here. These are two pairs of quilts newly made before winter." Liang Qian had found someone to peddle them from the main courtyard directly over.

"Godmother, there are plenty of quilts outside for sale; why go to all this effort to bring them over?"

"The ones outside overcharge, and besides being expensive, they aren’t as good as what we make ourselves. Since the family has them, why buy others? By the way, is there anything else you need? I can go get it for you."

"Ai Yi already went out to buy. Godmother, sit down and rest for a while, warm up by the fire. Xingxing, come to mom, are you cold?"

"Mom, I’m not cold. Look, this is the new clothes second grandma bought me, very warm. Mom, is little brother behaving well?"

Lin Wan noticed her daughter’s new cotton jacket, giving her a playful glance. "Why accept things so casually."

"Mom, I didn’t. Second grandma rewarded me because I scored double hundreds."

Liang Qian, beside them, held Little Star and laughed, "I made this myself for Little Star. It’s already been made for a long time; I originally planned for Han Yi to bring it back to Little Star when he returned. Now, there’s no need for that."

"Godmother, every time we come, we trouble you. Both Ai Yi and I feel embarrassed."

"What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’re my goddaughter, Xiao Yi is first my nephew, then my godson-in-law. We have ties; don’t worry about so much, just take good care of yourself and the baby."

"Godmother, I’m fine. By the way, yesterday, Ye Qing went back and told the old lady I’m pregnant, right?"

"Ye Qing didn’t go back yesterday. Xiao Wang returned, and I didn’t hear him tell the old lady anything. The family still doesn’t know yet."

"Ah, Ye Qing didn’t go back?" Lin Wan furrowed her brows, recalling Ye Qing’s appearance yesterday; she was probably stimulated seeing her pregnant.

"Is Ye Qing jealous of your pregnancy, feeling unbalanced?" Liang Qian asked worriedly, considering something.

"Mm, we had a few verbal disagreements, then she left."

"I thought as much; you two are from the same clan. She had a tubal ligation, you didn’t, she’s sure to have difficulties dealing with that emotionally. Did she give you a hard time?"

"With Ai Yi around, she doesn’t dare do anything to me. She’s resentful for sure. I’ll just be cautious with her in the future."

"Ah, you tell me, why did Xiao Chi bring back such a woman? The Mei Family hasn’t had a peaceful day since. I heard your godfather say Chen Haichang returned, has been back for several days, but hasn’t returned to the Mei Family. No one knows what he’s doing. The old man is worried about this day and night, not staying at home; in this cold weather, an older man like him should be staying indoors."

"The old man hasn’t been home lately?" Lin Wan furrowed her brows.

"He goes out early and returns late, practically the same as not being home."
