Chapter 205

But the food she made was neither tasty nor nutritious; it was just some fishy-smelling dishes.

Ever since she told this lie, her biggest worry every day has been that two people would come and touch her belly. Fang Deshan didn't care, but Wang Yayun had actually been pregnant and given birth before, so whether she was carrying a baby or not was impossible for her to hide.

As the lie grew bigger and bigger, she had to keep making up other excuses to cover it up, and Xie Wanying hadn't been able to get any rest these past few days.

"Mom, this is a piece of flesh growing in my belly. Maybe it will fall out if I move? The doctor said the baby is very healthy now. If I exercise more now, it will be safe when I give birth. If I keep being lazy and unwilling to move, I will only be able to have an incision in my belly when I give birth."

She racked her brains for excuses, but the only one she could think of was that Wang Yayun had always wanted her to have a natural birth, saying that a child taken out of the womb would have a head cut off and wouldn't be smart.

Sure enough, these words made Wang Yayun think about it. Seeing that his expression had indeed softened a bit, Xie Wanying pressed her advantage.

“I’m just going downstairs for a walk around the neighborhood. I won’t go too far. I’m carrying your grandson, who is also my child. How can I not love him? The air in this house is too stuffy. I’m going out for some fresh air and I’ll be right back.”

Wang Yayun noticed that Xie Wanying's expression wasn't good, and she was worried that Xie Wanying's bad mood would affect the child, so everything had to be done with her in mind.

Although Wang Yayun thought Xie Wanying was being a bit pretentious, it was all worth it for her eldest grandson.

Once the child is born, she will no longer care about her. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is supposed to be even. Thinking of this, she immediately nodded in agreement, but then she changed her shoes.

“You are in a special period right now. When Deshan went out, he specifically told me to take good care of you. I am not willing to give up on you going out alone. Wait for me to go with you.”

Xie Wanying's expression cracked, and her last bit of patience was almost gone.

"Mom, you've already worked so hard taking care of me every day. You should just rest at home. I'm a grown adult, I won't get lost."

There are many things that are inconvenient for her to do when she's with this old woman; she gets in her way a lot.

Wang Yayun's heart was only for her chubby grandson. She had already compromised by agreeing to let Xie Wanying go, so naturally she was unwilling to compromise a second time.

"I'll feel more at ease if I stay by your side. You're just taking a walk downstairs, right? You're not going anywhere. I'm not that useless. It's just a few steps, how could it kill me?"

Before Xie Wanying could say anything more, Wang Yayun, who had already changed her shoes, caught up with the house key in her hand. "Let's go."

She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. That damned old man had some kind of desire to control people. His eyes were always on her, watching what she ate and what she did.

Sooner or later she'll send that old hag back to the countryside so she can no longer bully others.

After leaving her home, Xie Wanying walked towards the compound. Wang Yayun followed her everywhere else, but there was one place she couldn't enter.

When they reached the door, Wang Yayun grabbed her arm. "Didn't you say you were just going to walk around downstairs? Why did you go back to your parents' house?"

Xie Wanying casually made up a story, "I suddenly remembered that I have some things to get. Mom, just wait here for me for a little while, I'll be right out."

Since she was already here, she might as well go directly to Ding Rumei and hear how unhappy Shu Ying was; that would cheer her up a bit.

Wang Yayun was a little impatient. "I don't know where you get so many things to carry every day. Go and come back quickly. I'll wait for you here."

Xie Wanying walked straight inside without even turning her head.

Finally, we've gotten rid of that perverted old woman; the air in the courtyard feels so free.

"You want to come in with me? Don't you know who you are? I was blind to marry your son. He's all looks and no substance. No wonder you can't even hold your grandson now."

Among Xie Wanying's marriage partners, Fang Deshan was the best in terms of conditions, so she naturally chose him.

But after all these years of marriage, she had undergone all the necessary examinations, yet she still couldn't conceive. The problem could only lie with Fang Deshan.

She stared at Shu Ying's house for a long time, but Ding Rumei didn't come out of the house. She kicked away a stone next to her and hid behind a tree.

"That lazy bum Ding Rumei hasn't left the house in so long!"

She couldn't very well go to Shuying's house to find her openly.

"Wanying, why have you been coming back so often lately? Is something wrong at home?"

Zhao Lijuan came over with a fan in her hand and saw Xie Wanying, who was about to turn around and leave. She called out to her.

Xie Wanying's eyes lit up, and a plan came to her mind.

"This is because my cousin from the countryside just came here and wanted to help Shuying. I thought she was unfamiliar with the place and wanted to see if she could adapt."

Zhao Lijuan glanced around warily, then pulled her to sit on a stone bench in the woods.

"This has caused quite a stir in the compound today, and you didn't even know?"

Xie Wanying was completely confused and didn't understand what the other person was saying.

"What is it?"

Zhao Lijuan used a fan to shoo away the mosquitoes around her. "Ding Rumei was stealing from her home when your sister-in-law's two children saw her. Enraged, she threw the boy down the stairs. If Shu Ying hadn't rushed back and caught him in time, the boy would probably have died. Shu Ying was furious and even fought with her in front of a group of people. In the end, someone called the police, and Ding Rumei is now at the police station."

Zhao Lijuan sighed and said with a mocking expression, "She was originally hoping that Xie Zhiyan would come out and give her a letter of leniency, but who would have thought that Xie Zhiyan didn't even give her a glance and said that she would rot in jail."

Xie Wanying clasped her hands tightly together, her expression somewhat unnatural. "Zhiyan has been discharged from the hospital?"

Zhao Lijuan nodded, "Yes, you didn't know that? You should have married into the compound. You could have gone back to your parents' home in less than a minute. Now that you're married, you don't know anything about what's going on in the compound."

Xie Wanying was sweating profusely, especially when she thought of the look in Xie Zhiyan's eyes. How could that stupid woman Ding Rumei do something so incredibly stupid?
