Chapter 22 Lovely Child

Chapter 22 Lovely Child

Zheng Jiayu looked at this adorable child, her eyes sparkling with hearts: "Gu Yunting is just too cute."

Gu Yunting nodded in agreement: "This child is indeed very cute. What, you like him?"

"Of course I love it! Who wouldn't love such an adorable child?"

"Then let's have a couple of kids ourselves and play around with them," Gu Yunting said jokingly, pinching the child's cheek.

She glared at Gu Yunting and said, "You're shameless."

"Are there kids for you to play with?"

"Isn't having children just for fun? But now is not the time." Gu Yunting didn't want to have a child right now.

The Zheng family's problems haven't been resolved yet, so they can't have a child at this time.

Having a child means they have leverage over the child, and the child becomes their target.

Zheng Jiayu understood what Gu Yunting meant.

However, Zhang Sufeng, who didn't understand, teased, "It seems you still want some time alone together. But that makes sense, since you've only just gotten married. If you have a child now, you'll have less time to spend alone together."

Zheng Jiayu and the other person did not offer any explanation, tacitly accepting Zhang Sufeng's statement.

Gu Yunting added with a smile, "You're right, sister-in-law. We just want to spend some time alone before having children."

Zheng Jiayu glared at Gu Yunting. This guy just talks nonsense here. Who said he wanted a child? He's shameless.

Gu Yunting raised an eyebrow at Zheng Jiayu in front of him, his smiling face making Zheng Jiayu roll her eyes.

It's saying silently, "Shut up."

Gu Yunting laughed heartily.

Zhang Sufeng was somewhat shocked by his flamboyant manner.

She had been with the army for two years, and this was the first time she had seen Gu Yunting laugh so happily.

While they were chatting, several people walked in from outside, one of whom was Shen Lin.

They also came to see the children.

Upon seeing Shen Lin approach, Gu Yunting's smile vanished instantly. He stood behind Zheng Jiayu, not glancing at Shen Lin once throughout the entire process.

When Shen Lin saw Gu Yunting, her face was filled with joy, but when she saw Gu Yunting's expression, her eyes were full of disappointment.

He looked at Gu Yunting with a complicated expression.

After knowing her for so long, does Gu Yunting really dislike her that much?

How annoying, they won't even give you a kind look.

Shen Lin said in a hoarse voice, "Do you hate me that much?"

Gu Yunting was too lazy to talk to Shen Lin, so he looked at Zhang Sufen and said, "Sister-in-law, since you have someone coming over, Jiayu will leave first. Jiayu will come back to chat with you in a couple of days. Please take care of Jiayu for me then."

Zheng Jiayu glared at Gu Yunting, annoyed. "I mean, you've really gone too far. Su Fen is a new mother and needs to rest. How can you expect her to take care of me?"

“What I mean is that chatting with you is also a way of taking care of you, isn’t it?” Gu Yunting said matter-of-factly.

Zhang Sufeng laughed and said, "Okay, I'll definitely take good care of Jiayu then."

Gu Yunting kicked the basket that was placed to the side over: "Sister-in-law, this is a small token of our appreciation. We'll be leaving now."

Zhang Sufeng wanted to say something, but the two had already left, and Shen Lin's gaze followed them as they departed.

After the two left, Shen Lin pretended to look at the things with curiosity and said, "What's in there? It's not an empty basket, is it?"

Zhang Sufeng looked coldly at Shen Lin: "Shen Lin, didn't I beat you hard enough before? That's why you dare to say such things in front of me."

Zhang Sufeng knew the weight of the basket.

There must be a lot of stuff inside.

Uncover the basket with the cloth covering it; inside were twenty eggs, a packet of brown sugar, and two red boxes.

"I'm afraid some people will be disappointed, but Jia Yu and the others gave us quite a lot of things, including eggs and brown sugar." He said, taking out two boxes and opening them.

Upon opening it, there were two silver locks inside.

When Lin's mother saw the silver lock, she was startled: "These two children, it's one thing to give them some eggs and brown sugar, but why give them a silver lock? It's so valuable, I'll go return it to them."

Zhang Sufeng stopped Lin's mother, saying, "Mom, there's no need to return it to them. We'll keep their good intentions. When they have children in the future, we'll give them something even better."

They have some money of their own, and their in-laws gave them several hundred yuan when they came over this time.

When they have children, they can also give them a nice gift.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Lin nodded in agreement: "My daughter-in-law is right. Since it's for the children, we'll accept it. When they have children in the future, we'll give them some nice things too."

Seeing that they all said the same thing, Lin's mother could only nod helplessly and say, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Lin's mother took out a silver lock and put it on the two children's wrists: "My dear grandchildren, this is a gift from your uncle and aunt. You must treat your aunt and aunt well in the future, understand?"

The child who had been holding Zheng Jiayu's hand tightly was now shaking the silver lock in his hand, and the bell on the lock made a pleasant sound.

Upon hearing this sound, both children laughed.

Although the people who came to see Zhang Sufeng didn't bring as much as Gu Yunting and his wife, they still sent quite a few nice things.

Eggs and brown sugar, or white sugar and pork, and only Shen Lin brought a few fruits over.

Upon seeing the fruit, Zhang Sufeng coldly said, "We don't want your fruit. I'm afraid eating it will shorten my lifespan."

Lin's mother had suspected something was wrong between Zhang Sufeng and this girl named Shen Lin since earlier, and now it seems there really is something going on.

"Daughter-in-law, what happened? Did something unpleasant happen between you two?"

"Mom is such a bad person."

Zhang Sufeng told the two elders about Shen Lin's previous slander against Zheng Jiayu.

The two elders' polite expressions immediately turned ugly upon hearing this, and they pointed towards the door: "Take your things and get out of here. We don't need your things."

Hearing what they said, Shen Lin was furious: "Fine, then leave. Don't regret it."

After saying that, he took his things and left.

Shen Lin felt more at ease after leaving everyone. After talking for a while, someone mysteriously said to Zhang Sufeng, "Sufeng, do you know that Shen Lin was beaten after she went back that day and had to stay in bed for several days before she could get up?"

Today was the first time Shen Lin had gone out since that incident. She came to see Zhang Sufen today because Shen Xizhen told her to.

Otherwise, Shen Lin wouldn't have come to Zhang Sufen's house.

In Shen Lin's eyes, Zhang Sufeng was just an uncultured peasant.

"I see. But she deserved it."

"You're right. It's just a simple thank you, but she's called it seduction. It's infuriating."

As Lin's mother listened to their conversation, she grew increasingly angry and said with some disappointment, "If I had known, I would have cursed her a couple of times before letting her leave. What a terrible person she is."
