After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies
Chapter 142: One Step Too Late
Chapter 142
Zhang Lin is obviously an unreasonable and pestering person who is difficult to deal with. Xiao knew that she should not take advantage of him, so she decided to use the remaining half month's rent to offset the two dollars Wu Lei gave to the child as a gift when they met.
Wu Lei also did not expect that he tried his best to please Zhang Lin. He hid in the factory for a night without going home, but Zhang Lin thoroughly offended the person he was trying to please, forcing her to leave with her postpartum body instead of resting for a few more days.
In fact, the reason why Pei Jing endured Zhang Lin was also to give Wu Lei face. After all, Wu Lei himself was not a bad person.
It can only be said that life makes fun of people. With such a wife, I'm afraid many originally good friends in life will choose to draw a clear line.
Pei Jing sent An ZhiXian to the train station. Zhou Granny and Zhou Nan had already started packing. By the time he came back, An Zhiqing had already borrowed a car from the army to pick them up specially.
Someone was holding the child. On the way, Xiao fell asleep leaning on Pei Jing's arms. When she woke up from her sleep, she was already in her own soft bed.
There was no one in the room, and there were sounds of playing with children coming from outside, both adults and children, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
An Zhiqing came in from the door and quietly closed the door again, "They are all sisters-in-law from the neighborhood who came to see you and your children. My mother told them that you were sleeping, so she took the children out for them to see. Don't make a sound for now, otherwise they will all come in later and disturb you with the noisy chatter."
Xiao nodded, "I know, thank you for picking us up today, brother."
"Don't talk about trouble between us siblings." An Zhiqing was dissatisfied that Xiao was so polite to him. He casually asked, "By the way, have you chosen names for the children?"
"Yes, Pei Jing and third brother each picked one. My brother is called Pei ChenYe, and my sister is Pei Wanqing." Thinking of their arguing over the names, Xiao still felt that it was rare to see Pei Jing being so childish. freewπbnπ¨πππΉ.π°ππΊ
"It's...nice sounding." An Zhiqing, who had wanted to show off the name he had thought about for a long time, silently swallowed it back. He was late, so he could only prepare to leave it for his own children in the future.
After the crowd outside dispersed, Xiao went out to the bathroom and saw that the table in the living room was full of eggs and brown sugar, bag by bag. Pei Jing wrote down who sent them in a small notebook so that he could return the favor when there was a chance in the future.
Some who were closer also gave meeting gifts to the children, not much, just two cents, but it was the thought that counts, so everything had to be recorded.
The bathroom was far away. Xiao thought that at most she would come out symbolically once a day, and solve everything else by herself hiding in her space, which was clean, hygienic, and didn't require going out the door. How nice.
On her way back, she happened to run into Shen Hongxing carrying a bag of eggs, "Xiao, I heard that you gave birth to twins, congratulations! I brought you some eggs and brown sugar, don't look down on it."
Shen Hongxing looked very different, her round big face had become much thinner, and her complexion was also very pale, as if she lacked vitality, her features were also much softer than before, and her voice was no longer sharp and unpleasant. Apart from previous impressions, her current feelings seemed quite good.
Seeing that Xiao didn't speak, her face turned paler, "I was wrong before, I know that now. Xiao, the troubles I caused you in the past, and those unkind words, I apologize to you here. I don't expect you to definitely forgive me. I also heard from Cui that you and Sister Fengxia took good care of several children for half a year when I was not there. I just want to thank you."
She walked closer and handed over what was in her hand, and didn't dare to say anything about going in to see the children.
Xiao smiled frankly and reached out to take the stuff, "Then thank Sister Shen Hongxing. I'm not feeling well so I can't entertain you. I'll invite you to come and play after I get better."
"No need, no need. If you don't despise me, just call me Sister Hongxing."
From these words, Xiao could tell that although she was living here, she probably hadn't remarried Yang Jun yet.
She had always heard people say that Shen Hongxing used to be good, and was praised by everyone in the army. It was only in the past two years that she suddenly changed her temperament and appearance, and became gossipy and petty.
She hadn't seen the change with her own eyes, so she always didn't quite believe it.
She just thought that while the system could absorb people's luck, if one didn't have that idea in their heart, could the system really make a person's personality and appearance undergo a thorough and complete change?
Seeing Shen Hongxing today, she believed it.
If she hadn't experienced it personally, who could distinguish that the current Shen Hongxing, with gentleness and regret in her brows and eyes, would be the same sharp Shen Hongxing of the past?
Shen Hongmei did not change for the better like Shen Hongxing. Shen Hongmei did indeed develop in a bad direction.
All her talents and abilities were given by the system. Without the system, she gradually returned to her original form. Even her appearance was no longer as beautiful, just ordinary. If it weren't for those moments of glory left behind when she had the system, she would have been driven out of the cultural troupe long ago just based on who she is now.
Shen Hongmei did come looking for Xiao more than once, but Xiao couldn't help her either, nor did she have the ability to give her what she wanted.
After all, she herself was just a housewife without a job at the moment.
At night in the city, it was Pei Jing who took care of Xiao. Back at home, of course he would continue to take care of her. Zhou Granny and Zhou Nan lived in another room prepared for them long ago.
Xiao was quite relaxed. Except for breastfeeding which required her, the three of them covered everything else. Even when she held the child for a while, Zhou Granny wouldn't allow it, saying that holding the child too much during the month hurts the arms. There's no feeling now, but when she gets old she'll regret it.
Also, children held too much go wild in bed and can't lie still. When she and Zhou Nan leave and there's no one to help her with the children, it won't be easy for her to raise two children alone.
Xiao disagreed with this.
It was true that children raised in their parents' arms had difficulty lying still in bed, but at the same time, children who played more seemed smarter. Children who just lay there without even going out the door looked dumb and slow, and were late to become sensible.
The half month passed quickly. Pei Jing also started returning to the barracks, but would come back whenever he had time.
Zhou Granny felt that Xiao was the easiest to serve during her confinement month. She wasn't picky about food, and would eat whatever was made without asking if there was anything she wanted to eat.
But only Xiao herself knew that she was not easy to serve at all.
She wasn't picky about food because few of those things actually made it to her mouth. She ate Sister Shenyi's postpartum meals every day, plus the magically effective beast world fruits.
After a month, her height was fixed at 165 cm, her weight at 103 pounds. Her body had a little flesh but small bones, so she looked very thin when dressed. The loose belly skin also tightened up and was extremely perfect.
