Just for the next three or four days. Ye Qing and Mei Langchi did this every day.
Of course, the sister-in-laws in the courtyard had a lot of opinions, but the parties involved were completely unaware that they had become the laughingstock of the courtyard.
On the fifth day of Ye Qingās arrival, it suddenly started to rain heavily. The rain poured down, so Lin Wan and Little Star stayed home all day. This drove Little Star crazy with boredom.
"Alright, alright, if the weather clears up tomorrow, Mom will take you to the city to play for a day, okay?"
"Will Dad join us?"
"No, Dad still needs to train, he doesnāt have time for us, having Mom with you is enough."
"Oh... I want to play with the little brother."
"Uh-huh, you can play with the little brother."
In the evening, Han Yi came back, carried a bag of stuff, and filled a kettle with hot water, then poured half of some medicine powder into it.
"Whatās this?" Xiao Wan asked softly.
Han Yi smiled and whispered in Lin Wanās ear, "Do you want to try it?"
Making Lin Wan roll her eyes at him and lightly hit him, "Rogue."
She didnāt even need him to tell her who this was for.
Thinking of Han Yiās plan he mentioned, Lin Wan felt a faint sense of anticipation.
"Are you sure Li Liang will follow us tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is Sunday, according to his routine, he will follow."
"Husband, be careful."
"Donāt worry, Iāve got it under control."
The two of them finished speaking softly in the kitchen and returned to the bedroom with Little Star, with the other side still not quiet.
Looking at the clock, it was only a little past 7.
"Mom... is the aunt next door sick every day?"
Upon hearing the words of their daughter, Han Yi and Lin Wan felt embarrassed and touched their foreheads.
"Sweetheart, how about Dad finds a cartoon for Xingxing?"
"Okay, okay. I want to watch Mao Mao..."
Han Yi quickly turned on the TV for the child, searching for a familiar channel. It was past 7, and there was no Wanderings of San Mao playing anymore. After searching around, he found a martial arts movie and turned it up loudly.
The daughter clamored that she didnāt want it, and Han Yi was helpless, while Lin Wan frowned and looked at the wall next door, casually picked up something and banged it twice, "Donāt you have any civic sense, there is a child in the house."
Finding it impossible, Han Yi held the child with a frown and went out, the couple locked the door, took the child, and strolled out again.
It resulted in the neighbors hearing them, some sister-in-laws heard during the day and were curious enough to come out to see if it was really that family.
They happened to meet the couple, Han Yi and Lin Wan, taking their child.
"Captain Han, it just rained, itās so cold, why are you guys bringing your child out?"
"Sister-in-law Yang, itās just too noisy next door, so we brought the child out for some air, weāll go back in a while," Lin Wan spoke vaguely, and the sister-in-law beside them understood what she meant.
Speaking of Captain Hanās house next door, isnāt there a leader from the south temporarily staying there? Unexpectedly, it really was them. This couple really can stir things up. Itās been so many days, day in and day out, itās really something.
"Not only is your place noisy, but now ours nearby is too. This is just so annoying. Itās making these two rows every day worrying. Why donāt you come sit at our place for a while, donāt let the child freeze."
"No need, weāre just taking a stroll and will head back. Xingxing, say goodbye to Auntie."
"Yang, Auntie," said "goodbye." Little Star started to stutter while speaking, mainly because it was too cold outside.
"Oh my, such a good kid. Go play with your parents."
Having said a few words with Sister-in-law Yang, Han Yi loosened his clothes, letting Little Starās legs cling to his waist, wrapping her up tightly.
"Dad... isnāt that auntās sickness better yet? Sheās so" Kainian ", doesnāt that uncle give her an injection?"
Little Starās words werenāt complete, but the couple was used to it, clearly understanding.
"Sweetheart, that uncle is giving the aunt an injection, so they are yelling so loudly, give it a few days, and sheāll be better." Han Yi explained to his daughter with a heavy heart as if fearing if his daughter got sick due to cold, neither parent would escape blame.
Just chatting briefly with Sister-in-law Yang, several families came out from the other side, today the wind brought cold air, it had rained, and by now it was even colder.
Several families didnāt have any choice but to bring children out in response to the weather. Seeing Captain Hanās couple with such a small child, a common topic emerged in the next second.
More or less, they all had complaints about the two people over there, Lin Wan stood at the side smiling and listening.
Little Star originally couldnāt resist anymore, dozing off in Dadās arms, but seeing some small partners out, suddenly didnāt feel sleepy or cold, insisting on getting down to play with a few kids.
Han Yi had no choice but to take off his clothes and wrap Little Star tightly on top, using the empty sleeves as ties, letting her run with the other kids chasing each other, while he followed behind, fearing his daughter might fall.
"These people from the south are too uncultured, what kind of people are they. Today, several families were discussing telling the leaders, but due to losing face, they didnāt go."
"We care about their face, but they arenāt appreciative. Today Sister-in-law Wang deliberately went over to get acquainted with them, explicitly and implicitly stated her intentions, kindly reminded them, who knew they would directly give her a cold look and told off Sister-in-law Wang, saying she was meddling, which got Sister-in-law Wang really angry. Today Sister-in-law Wang came to my house talking about this, saying forget about face, tomorrow she intends to tell the leaders in the team."
"There was such a thing?" Lin Wan, who stayed at home all day, hadnāt heard the commotion at all.
"Isnāt it. Itās said that this leader had been married before, later divorced, and now remarried. If you ask me, who knows how the one above was divorced."
"Hardly any such woman is good, tomorrow letās discuss with the residents of our row."
The sister-in-laws exchanged words, while Lin Wan just listened beside them, not commenting, treating it as a joke about Ye Qing and Mei Langchi. Unfortunately, one of them was completely oblivious, the other couldnāt care less.
Though it was cold outside, with the fun, it didnāt feel as cold. Lin Wan and Han Yi spent over an hour outside, before the sister-in-laws gradually dispersed.
The couple strolled around the courtyard, feeling the cold wind on their hands and cheeks.
"Why not go to the city these days, this Mei Langchi and Ye Qing are deliberately making trouble for no reason. Iāve made up my mind that whenever they leave, thatās when itāll get quiet. Theyāve really gone overboard." Lin Wan complained after entering the house.
"Donāt mind them, they canāt cause much trouble, tomorrow take the child and leave early," Han Yi smiled and hugged her in comfort.
Thinking of the stuff Han Yi had just prepared, Lin Wan kept silent, pondering for a while, before saying, "Are you confident?"
"Donāt worry."
...
Little Star comfortably nestled on Han Yiās body. Once back home, she had already fallen sound asleep, which allowed Lin Wan to breathe a sigh of relief. She hurriedly went to bed to warm the quilt and took off the childās clothes.
