Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

Red Star Courtyard.

Ran Qiuye looked at the time and thought Zhang Zhiqiang should be back soon. She had nothing to do, so she planned to wait for Zhang Zhiqiang at the door. Anyway, Zhang Zhiqiang should be the first one to come back.

Ran Qiuye did what he said. After locking the door, he walked towards the front yard. As for why he locked the door, it was because there were too many valuable things in the house. What if a thief broke in?

When he reached the middle courtyard, he met an old lady coming out of the door. Ran Qiuye didn't say anything to her and just walked past her.

But the aunt's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know why Ran Qiuye appeared in the yard at this time, she knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is a rare opportunity to reconcile with Zhang Zhiqiang, and Auntie definitely can't let it go.

"Hello, you are Zhang Zhiqiang's wife, right?"

An old lady ran to Ran Qiuye with a kind smile on her face and said.

"you are?"

Ran Qiuye knew the auntie. Zhang Zhiqiang had explained to her the interpersonal relationships in the hospital, but she just didn't understand why the auntie was looking for her.

"Haha, you just got here and don't know, I'm the aunt in our courtyard."

An old lady introduced herself with a kind face.

"Oh, auntie, hello, I'm Ran Qiuye, Zhang Zhiqiang's wife."

After all, it was the first time he spoke, so the well-educated and polite Ran Qiuye also introduced himself.

"Well, Zhang Zhiqiang is so lucky to have married a wife as beautiful as you."

The old lady looked Ran Qiuye up and down and felt that Ran Qiuye's belly was slightly bulging.

"That's not right, Auntie. I'm lucky to marry such a good man."

Ran Qiuye also pretended to be well-behaved and said to the aunt.

In fact, it can't be considered pretending. After all, the Ran family is a scholarly family. Ran Qiuye always gives people the impression of being well-educated, gentle and elegant. Just standing there makes people feel that she is a well-behaved girl.

"That's true, Qiuye, can I call you that?"

An auntie agreed and said that everyone in the courtyard had seen Zhang Zhiqiang's abilities, but it was a pity that they had misjudged him at the beginning, otherwise they would have treated Zhang Zhiqiang well.

The aunt couldn't even imagine how comfortable her life would be if Zhang Zhiqiang was willing to take care of her and Yi Zhonghai in their old age.

"Of course you can. You are my elder, you can call me whatever you want."

Ran Qiuye said sweetly that she was not going to break up with him before she figured out the situation. At least she wanted to know what the other party's purpose was.

"Qiuye, you look like this, are you pregnant?"

An old lady asked hesitantly. She had always seen Ran Qiuye in the yard before, but had never observed him closely and had never noticed this problem.

It was just now that I noticed that Ran Qiuye's belly seemed to be bulging. Although she was an aunt without children, she had been pregnant in the past, so I naturally had some guesses in my mind.

"Yes, Auntie. She has been pregnant for several months."

Ran Qiuye touched her belly and said happily.

She and Zhang Zhiqiang both attached great importance to the child. Zhang Zhiqiang also felt sorry for her and would lie on his belly every night to talk to the child, asking him to be obedient and not to trouble him as a mother.

"Oh, that's good. That's really good."

"Qiuye, wait a minute. I have some red dates at home. They promote blood circulation and are good for the baby. Take them home and wait for me."

The aunt said this and ran back home.

"Oh, no need, Auntie."

Before Ran Qiuye could say no, she could only see the back of an old lady walking away at an extremely fast speed.

As if she was afraid that Ran Qiuye would get impatient, an old lady came running back after a while with a small cloth bag in her hand.

"Qiuye, these are all top-quality red dates. Eat a few when you're free. It's good for the child."

The auntie stuffed the bag of red dates into Ran Qiuye's hand without saying a word.

"No, no, this is really not possible, Auntie, I don't want anything without doing anything, how can I take your things?"

Ran Qiuye declined, thinking that something must be wrong. They had always been strangers, but suddenly they started sending gifts, precious food at that, so one could not help but suspect something.

"It's not worth much, just take it. Zhang Zhiqiang doesn't have any elderly people to help him at home. Let's visit each other more often. I can also help take care of your children when the time comes."

The aunt had been doing housework at home for many years and she still had some strength in her hands. She finally stuffed the bag of red dates into Ran Qiuye's hand and spoke to him kindly.

"You should take it back, Auntie. I really don't need it. Zhang Zhiqiang will buy me whatever I want to eat."

"Zhang Zhiqiang has already decided on the matter of the child. He plans to have my parents come over to help take care of the child when the time comes."

Ran Qiuye was still not going to take anything from the aunt, and explained to her as well.

"Let your parents take care of it. That's fine too."

An old lady said this with obvious disappointment in her tone.

This is easy to explain. The aunt was thinking that when the child was born, both Zhang Zhiqiang and his wife would have to go to work, so she would just help take care of the child. She wouldn't need anything else, as long as the child was willing to call her grandma when he grew up.

If Zhang Zhiqiang's children are close to him and are willing to call him grandma, then when they are old, Zhang Zhiqiang will have no choice but to ignore them, otherwise the neighbors will spit at him and drown him.

But unfortunately, she forgot that Ran Qiuye had parents, so her plan was stillborn before it even started.

What Auntie is thinking now is why the Ran family doesn’t have a son.

The aunt thought that if the Ran family had a son, they would definitely not help Ran Qiuye take care of the child.

This is easy to explain. Nowadays, people believe that daughters are money-losing goods. Once a daughter is married off, she is like spilled water. Once she marries into someone else's family, she belongs to that family. She will have connections with her parents' family, but not too many.

Just like Qin Huairu, she might only go back to Qinjia Village once or twice a year, and might still have to take things from her home to the Jia family, so the aunt would have such an idea.

"But you should still accept these red dates. After all, my husband is the most important person in the hospital. You are pregnant again, so it is reasonable for both of us to take care of you."

After spending a long time with Yi Zhonghai, the aunt could also say a few nice words to him.

But this kind of thing simply does not stand up to scrutiny. There are people getting pregnant in the Siheyuan every year, so why would the old man only give this and that to one family? There must be something fishy going on.

"Really, there's no need for it, Auntie. I can't use this stuff even if I take it back. Zhang Zhiqiang and I both have good salaries, and I'm not lacking in nutrition."

Ran Qiuye stuffed the red dates back into the aunt's hand and said with a firm look in his eyes.

"That's it, okay then."

Seeing this, the aunt didn't say anything more. You can't be too deliberate when giving gifts, otherwise it will really make people suspicious of your intentions. Although she really didn't have any bad intentions, Ran Qiuye didn't know that.

"Akiha, are you getting ready to go out?"

The aunt asked again.

"No, it's not that I'm bored at home. I'm waiting for my Zhang Zhiqiang to come back and cook for me. I'm going to wait for him at the door."

Ran Qiuye said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead, I won't bother you anymore."

The aunt was still very satisfied. Although the items were not delivered, at least the two families were able to communicate with each other, which was a good progress.

In addition, the aunt also expressed her gratitude for how good Zhang Zhiqiang was to his wife. Looking at the entire courtyard, which man was willing to cook for his wife, except Xu Damao, who was forced to do so.

It is precisely because of this that we can see the precious qualities of Zhang Zhiqiang even more clearly.
