Chapter 39 Being a Guest
Chapter 39 Being a Guest
When mentioning her husband, Sun Shimei felt a little distressed and quickly moved stools for everyone to sit down first.
"He's at home. He has a headache and just came into the room and lay down. You guys sit down first. I'll go wake him up."
Having said that, Sun Shimei put down the things in his hand and hurried into the only room to call for someone. Li Hongwei should be inside.
But before going to call Li Hongwei, she did not forget to knock on the door of another room and summon her son out.
"Li Cheng, Li Cheng, come out quickly, there are guests at home."
Watching Sun Shimei's movements, Mrs. Lan looked around the house silently, and her obsession with the building became less.
The houses in this city are really small.
It's just a small living room and two rooms.
Well, their house in the countryside is still spacious, Mrs. Lan nodded with inner satisfaction.
The sound of Sun Shimei and Li Hongwei talking in a low voice could be heard in the room. Soon, Li Hongwei walked out of the room with a tired look on his face.
When he saw Lan Xin and others, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Brother Lan, how come you came to my house? Is everything going well?"
Sun Shimei, who was standing by, took out some tea leaves, poured water for the few people to make tea, and watched curiously.
Brother Lan nodded and also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's all settled."
"Where is the child?" Sun Shimei asked as he handed over tea.
Just as many people came to see Lan Xin at the beginning, so many people came to her house now, but they didn’t see the child they had come all the way to find.
Speaking of Zhou Sheng, Brother Lan sighed, shook his head, and there was disappointment in his eyes.
Mrs. Lan at the side spoke first, saying in embarrassment: "Don't mention that child."
"We went through so much trouble to find him, fearing that something might have happened to him, but he just wanted his dad in one sentence. He didn't even think about his biological mom who gave birth to him and raised him for so many years!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Mrs. Lan slammed the table in anger. When Brother Lan thought of Zhou Sheng's ruthless choice in the afternoon, his face darkened.
"This, this child..."
After listening to Mrs. Lan's description, Sun Shimei and Li Hongwei didn't have a good impression of it. They sighed in their hearts that they had really raised an ungrateful person.
However, he still tried to comfort Lan Xin and told her not to be too sad.
"The child is still young. Maybe he has been deceived by his biological father. If you explain it to him clearly, maybe he will become sensible."
Brother Lan felt relieved but was still very angry. He looked at the cup in front of him filled with golden tea and drank it all in one breath. Fortunately, Sun Shimei did not have time to boil water, so the water in the thermos was not very hot.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this brat."
When this group of people talked about Zhou Sheng, they were all filled with indignation. However, Lan Xin, who was the most hurt, had a blank expression and felt nothing inside.
At this time, the door of another room in Sun Shimei's house was finally opened, and a boy about the same age as Lan Xiaodi walked out.
With messy hair and hazy eyes, he looked at the many people who suddenly appeared in the room.
Sun Shimei showed an embarrassed look on his face, and quickly stood up and pulled his son over to introduce him.
"This is my youngest son, Li Cheng."
"Li Cheng, hurry up and call Uncle Lan and Aunt Chen. These are the friends that Mom and Dad met on the train. This is Lan Xi, who is the same age as you and just graduated from high school. You two should have something to talk about."
Sun Shimei patted his son on the back, and Li Cheng obediently followed suit and called for people one by one.
Finally, looking at little brother Lan who was his age, he didn't want to listen to the adults' nagging here.
After gazing at Brother Lan and finding him pleasing to the eye and not the kind of person who would mess with his things, he offered a suggestion.
"Would you like to come into my room and play?"
Little Brother Lan looked at Big Brother Lan, then at Lan Xin, and after getting their consent, he nodded excitedly.
"sure."
After getting the answer, Li Cheng looked at Sun Shimei, who quickly sent the children back to their rooms so as not to disturb their conversation.
After the door was closed again, Sun Shimei smiled awkwardly, "Well, the eldest son got married and moved out, and the second son hasn't finished get off work yet. This youngest son is the only one left at home, and he has a bad temper. I'm sorry to embarrass you."
"Haha, children have their own things to do when they grow up."
Seeing that the chat about family matters was coming to an end, Lan Xin looked at Sun Shimei and asked.
"Sister Sun, you and Brother Li look worried, is it because the company's issues have not been resolved yet?"
Speaking of this, Sun Shimei's face turned into a bitter gourd and she sighed.
"It can't be solved. Why are our lives so miserable? It's our family that has to bear the consequences."
Li Hongwei also sighed, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea with a sad face.
Lan Xin and Brother Lan looked at each other and said, "Brother Li, why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."
Li Hongwei didn't take Lan Xin's words seriously at all. Who could help him with this matter?
Since things have come to this point, he doesn't care anymore and starts complaining directly.
"It's just something that happened at work. I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself. I'm telling you the truth. That thing is something that couples use."
There were no children present. They were all married adults with children. Li Hongwei was not shy, but his face was still red.
As he spoke, he took out something wrapped in layers from a briefcase beside him and opened it as he spoke.
"That thing is for couples to use. You know that birth control is very strict nowadays. People are not allowed to have more than one child. Not everyone can get an IUD, so the government invented that thing for contraception."
Li Hongwei's face turned red after hearing these words. Brother Lan and Sister-in-law Lan just listened but they didn't quite understand. What was this used for between husband and wife?
Until Li Hongwei unwrapped the things in his hand, took out a piece and handed it to a few people,
Brother Lan took it and looked at it over and over again. Li Hongwei said maliciously, "This thing is useless. You can open it and take a look."
Brother Lan, who trusted Li Hongwei, opened the thing obediently. When he took it out and looked at it, the two of them were shocked. He threw the thing away, and his face was covered with red clouds.
"Haha." Looking at the shy look of Brother Lan and Sister-in-law Lan, Li Hongwei, who was originally very shy, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, seeing that Lan Xin's expression didn't change much, he felt a little strange.
Lan Xin looked at the thing and nodded in understanding. She really guessed it right.
She immediately spoke with a confident and calm tone: "Brother Li, are these the things that bother you? I have a way to solve it."
"what?!"
Lan Xin's unusual behavior frightened Sun Shimei, Li Hongwei and others. They thought they had heard it wrongly?
