There were not only the mother and son in the kitchen, but also Mr. Li.

Li Guixiang immediately cursed, "You're not even married yet! How can you be ashamed to say that?"

Old Master Li adjusted his beard. He didn't laugh at Zhong Xuexi. Instead, he supported her. "Xuexi is right. If the girl had been pregnant earlier, why would she wait until now to tell Zhong Zhiyang? Offspring are certainly important, but we can't mistake fish eyes for pearls."

He and Tian Xiaofeng had similar ideas. Jiang Nianyue was not suitable to marry into the family after all. He didn't want to see his granddaughter being bullied by the younger generation in the Zhong family.

After his reminder, Li Guixiang felt that she should be more cautious.

Those involved in the matter are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. Zhong Xuexi hated Jiang Nianyue very much. Not to mention that she was pregnant, even if Zhong Zhiyang had always been with Jiang Nianyue, in Zhong Xuexi's eyes, he would still be labeled as questionable.

"Yes, you are right." Li Guixiang hesitated, feeling a little uneasy. "Let's wait for Zhiyang to come back and see what he says."

"What's the point of listening to him? The child is already five months old!" Zhong Xuexi said in a very bad tone. She also blamed Zhong Zhiyang in her heart. He hadn't even married her yet and he slept with her so irresponsibly.

If the Zhong family didn't acknowledge the child, Jiang Nianyue and her unreasonable mother would probably make the whole city know that Zhong Zhiyang had abandoned his wife and child.

This matter is really difficult to deal with.

Li Guixiang couldn't help sighing, "What is going on..."

I thought Zhong Zhiyang was back and everything was back on track.

I didn't expect there was a time bomb left.

Old Mr. Tian was bored in the hospital these days, so he begged his son Tian Gui to stay with him.

Zhong Zhiyang had not returned yet, and Ruan Qing had also gone to Huang's house and had not returned yet, so Lin Ziqiu made dinner.

At the dinner table, Li Guixiang and Zhong Xuexi had no appetite. Lin Ziqiu served them a bowl of soup and said, "Grandma, you may be worried, but you still have to eat. Your health is more important."

As she spoke, she winked at Zhong Xuexi, asking her to eat something quickly.

Li Guixiang thought of Lin Ziqiu's previous identity and felt hesitant to speak. She was afraid that Lin Ziqiu had some thoughts in his mind, so she held back and refused to say anything.

Zhong Xuexi acted like she was determined to do anything, and she spoke out loudly, "Anyway, let me put it this way, if that child is really Zhong Zhiyang's, then fine, our Zhong family will recognize him, but only this child. Jiang Nianyue, don't even think about marrying in!"

As for Jiang Nianyue and her son, they are all very troublesome.

I thought she was going to get married too, and if Jiang Nianyue really married in, it would definitely cause chaos in the family.

Not only will the mother be caught in an awkward position between her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, but given her sister-in-law's broad-mindedness, she will definitely not want to make things difficult for the mother, so she will give in. However, if she gives in, she will suffer injustice.

Anyway, she would never agree to Jiang Nianyue marrying in.

Li Guixiang also wanted to do this, but Lin Rong was not a pushover. If she only recognized the child and not the mother, people would definitely gossip about her.

Lin Ziqiu nudged her with his elbow and whispered soothingly, "Eat first, the food is getting cold."

Zhong Xuexi was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she just buried her head in her food, but it tasted like chewing wax.

After dinner, Mr. Li stayed in the kitchen to ask Lin Ziqiu some questions.

"If that girl really wants to marry in, what do you think?"

Lin Ziqiu paused while washing the dishes and said lightly, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if she's a troublemaker and dares to cause trouble for me, I won't show any mercy."

Mr. Li chuckled and said, "I don't believe it."

"Why don't you believe this? Am I the kind of person who would rather suffer injustice and let others bully me?" Lin Ziqiu was puzzled. "Well, although I was like that before, I have awakened now."

"You are just too soft-hearted."

Old Master Li saw through his granddaughter completely. "You say that, but if your grandmother was really embarrassed, you would definitely give in."

These days, he also realized that Lin Ziqiu really treated Li Guixiang as a relative.

Lin Ziqiu, because she lacks the love of her family, cherishes those who care about her now.

Lin Ziqiu felt a little bitter in his heart, and his voice lowered a few notes, "Grandpa, although what you said is true, just because I can endure it doesn't mean I can endure it all the time, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Xiao Qiu, please accompany me to look at the house later."

Mr. Li had already thought of a way out for her, "If you are not happy here, then live with me, old man. I will take care of my granddaughter myself."

The house on the Li family's side collapsed, and now the authorities are rebuilding homes for those who have nowhere to live.

But it certainly cannot be built in a short time. There are very few private houses in the city these days. Most of them are factory staff quarters or houses allocated by factories.

Buying a private house is not very realistic, but renting one is definitely no problem.

Given the current situation in the city, many people who would rather believe it than not have it have already gone to other provinces before the New Year, and their houses are still empty.

Of course, these people all have some family background.

For example, Jiang Lin.

He owns two houses in the city, one of which is vacant.

Mr. Li didn't want to trouble him, but if he really couldn't find a good house, he would mention it to Jiang Lin and he would definitely not refuse.

Lin Ziqiu's eyes were filled with tears. She originally thought that even if Jiang Nianyue was going to marry in the end, she could endure it for half a year, and she would go to the capital after the college entrance examination.

So she didn't worry too much about these troubles.

But it is one thing for her to not care much, and it is another thing for someone to care about her and provide her with a way out.

She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Mr. Li, her voice choking, "Grandpa, you are so good to me!"

It was rare for Mr. Li to be so close to her, his eyes full of smiles, "You are my only granddaughter, who else can I treat well if not you?"

Just as Mr. Li found a way out for Lin Ziqiu, Li Guixiang called Lin Ziqiu into the house.

"Grandma? You looking for me?"

Li Guixiang took out a small wooden box from the bottom of the box, which contained some money, cloth coupons, food coupons and other things.

"Take this. Apart from the household expenses, these are all saved by me for He Yang. You can keep them for him from now on." Li Guixiang originally planned to give this money to Lin Ziqiu after she became pregnant.

It’s not a small amount, nearly a thousand yuan.

That was a huge sum of money in those days.

"This is something he gave you. How can I accept it? I can't do that." Lin Ziqiu declined. "Are you worried that I won't have money to spend? I got my salary before the New Year, and I still have quite a bit in my pocket!"

"Keep it! This should have been yours." Li Guixiang forced it into her hand. "Grandma knows that even though you don't say anything about Zhiyang's matter, you must be feeling aggrieved in your heart. Originally, Zhiyang had wronged you in this matter, and now something like this has happened again. Ultimately, it's us, the Zhong family, who feel guilty about you."
