Chapter 241 They are all masters

Since her divorce, Linlin not only left the family WeChat group, but also changed her mobile phone number. Even if Darong was heartbroken, she couldn't even get through to her on the phone.

"Even if you didn't change your phone number, what would you say when the call was connected?" Ruyi's words once again choked Darong speechless.

"You, you, who did you take after? You speak without any mercy to others." Darong rolled her eyes at Ruyi, controlled her emotions, and stood up to serve noodle soup to An An.

Because An An was often burned by Ruyi and cried loudly when she was a child, Darong seemed to be traumatized and never trusted the food that Ruyi dried for her child. She always had to try it herself before she felt at ease.

"He's already three years old, don't feed him all the time. He eats well with me, and he knows to blow on it before eating when it's hot."

Ruyi took an apple, sat at a small table nearby and started fiddling with the computer.

Darong indeed had not told her family about Linlin's affairs. After a few days of calming down, she returned to her peaceful life of raising her children, and she and Ruyi never mentioned Linlin again.

After the class of students that Xiao Huya taught graduated, his summer vacation became relatively relaxing.

After Xiao Huya went on vacation, Darong didn't want to disturb the lives of their family of three too much. Except for occasionally picking up An An, she no longer went to Ruyi's house to take care of the children.

"I feel tired when taking care of the children, but I miss them when I can't see them. What a cheap child." Darong took a sip of coffee with self-mockery.

"Who says it's not true? I miss him every day when I can't see him." Zhong Yunxing also echoed.

"Look at his grandmother. When An An came, she sat in the living room all day watching him play. When An An is not here, she doesn't even come out of her room." Darong said, glancing at Mother Zhong who was lying in the middle room.

Mother Zhong's legs and feet have become increasingly inconvenient in the past two years. Even walking around the house seems very clumsy and difficult, so she lies in her room most of the time.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the children seem to have better excuses and come to Mother Zhong's house less frequently, especially Wu Meifeng, who lives in the far suburbs. She has not shown up since the Spring Festival.

Darong naturally didn't miss her, but Mother Zhong often kept complaining in Zhong Yunxing's ear that the house was always cold and deserted.

"Mom mentioned Erhong again yesterday. I think she missed him. She hasn't been here for more than half a month, right?"

Zhong Yunxing recalled the look in Zhong's mother's eyes yesterday and said with a bit of sadness.

Although Wu Meifeng has never shown up, Zhong Yunhong still comes to visit Mother Zhong several times every month. However, for some reason, he has not come this month.

Every time Mrs. Zhong called him, he always said that he was too busy at work and couldn't get away.

"Don't ask them to come over. Her grandmother will naturally call him if she misses him. Don't get involved. What if something really happens to her?" Darong heard what Zhong Yunxing said and quickly reminded him.

"I know……"

While Darong and Zhong Yunxing were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

Instead of waiting for Zhong Yunhong to come, Zhong Yunsheng and his wife arrived first. Wenying walked in carrying something, and Darong and Zhong Yunxing also greeted her happily.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you go to see the child today?"

Wenying started chatting with Darong as soon as she entered the door.

"Xiao Du is on vacation now, so I don't have to go there every day. What about you? Why didn't you see your grandson today?"

"The family of four went to their grandmother's house."

"A family of four? They're having a baby again?" Darong asked Wenying in surprise.

Wenying nodded happily: "Yes, I'm going to be a grandmother again."

"Oh my god, this is too fast. I really have two children in three years." Darong also became happy unconsciously.

Ever since Ruyi gave birth to An'an, she no longer envied other people's wives for giving birth to children, and she was sincerely happy for Wenying.

Darong and Wenying were chatting and greeting each other, and before they knew it, it was almost time for dinner. Darong got up and went to the kitchen to cook, and Wenying followed suit to help.

"Why does her grandmother look unhappy to me? She doesn't seem to have the energy to talk." After entering the kitchen, Wen Ying asked Darong.

"She misses her second uncle. He hasn't come for two weeks. He said he doesn't have time to come this week. The old lady misses her son." Darong said softly.

"He is a leading cadre, how can he be the same as us? Look at that official's wife, when will she be able to live on the same level as us?" Wenying snorted coldly and said with a pout.

Darong just smiled and said that she hadn't been with Wu Meifeng for a long time. At this age, they each had their own family life and they no longer had as much interaction as when they were young.

"Before, she always talked about our Xiaoya in a roundabout way. But now, our Xiaoya is trying her best and is pregnant with her second child, while hers is still not pregnant."

Wenying's hostility towards Wu Meifeng seems to have never diminished. The knot planted in their youth still cannot be let go, and the two of them are competing in everything.

"My aunt said before that Jixiang and his wife also went for IVF. Maybe it was the same as Ruyi's time. They had trouble keeping the baby. It's been almost a year and I haven't heard of any pregnancy."

Darong thought of what Xiaoping had said and felt a little sorry for Fengfei. After all, she had seen Ruyi suffer with her own eyes.

"I know. In fact, I've known it for a long time. I knew it even before Xiangrui got married. Fengfei's family is very close to mine. I've heard that she was in poor health and went to the hospital for treatment."

Darong then understood that the reason why Wenying used Ruyi as an example to ask about Fengfei and Jixiang was because she had known for a long time that Fengfei's health was not very good.

Therefore, the subsequent series of praises for Ruyi's mother-in-law were just setting a trap for Wu Meifeng. She was invited into the game involuntarily, and unknowingly, she planted a nail for her in the pit dug by Wenying.

At that moment, Darong realized that her self-perception of intelligence was just her own perception.

"Sister-in-law, did you know that Xiao Gao's cosmetics store is about to go out of business?"

Darong had just come to terms with what happened at Wu Meifeng's home when Wenying once again brought up the gossip at Xiaoping's home.

"I don't know, what happened to him?"

"Not really, except for the epidemic in the past two years. You can see that there are no people shopping on the streets. Many physical stores can no longer operate, including Xiao Gao's." Wenying narrated simply.

The epidemic has indeed had an extremely serious impact on people's lives. The first to be hit were the physical business industry and the catering industry, and Xiaogao's cosmetics counters and stores were also among them.
