Wei Qiaolan turned around and saw her standing under the eaves, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Shao Mo, are you up?"
"Hmm." Shao Mo walked over, "Where are big brother and the others?"
"Lao Ling took Chuanzi to the shop, while Chunhua went to the opposite door to do homework with Xiao Yanzi."
Seeing the confusion on Shao Mo's face, Wei Qiaolan smiled and said: "Oh, what are you doing standing here talking? It stinks. Go wash your face and wake up. I'll take out the shit and pour it out."
Shao Mo said politely: "Sister Lan, I'm sorry to bother you, but you are a guest and I ask you to do this."
"It's no trouble, no trouble. It's just a matter of convenience. You can't let it sit in this smelly yard. It's okay. I'll be back right away."
After saying that, Wei Qiaolan walked towards the entrance of the courtyard on her high heels and a shovel.
Shao Mo stared at it twice before turning around and going to the bathroom.
After washing her face and making a pot of refreshing jasmine tea, Wei Qiaolan came back swaying on high heels.
After Wei Qiaolan sat down, Shao Mo picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of hot scented tea for her.
While tapping the table with her fingers, Wei Qiaolan said: "The niece of the Xu family across the door came to the city from the countryside to study. Her registered permanent residence is in the Xu family. She happens to be in the same class as Chunhua. The two of them usually go to and from school together and often do homework together.
, it was a great time.”
"At Chunhua's age, she should have more playmates."
"you do not say."
Yellow-green tea is served in a transparent glass teacup, with a few beautiful white jasmine flowers floating in the tea, which looks as exquisite as a work of art.
Wei Qiaolan picked up the tea cup, smelled it, and sighed with a smile: "Oh, you students are still able to enjoy life. Look how beautiful this tea is. It's a waste for peony chewers like me to drink it."
Shao Mo chuckled, "Sister Lan is joking, this isn't really good tea, it's just a gadget I made myself..."
Knowing the origin of this tea, Wei Qiaolan smiled even more happily, "It turns out that it is the jasmine grown in your home in Beijing. Then I must have a good drink. I won't be afraid of your jokes if I tell you. I have lived for half my life and have never left the river."
As for the city, the capital is bigger than Jiang City, right?"
"The urban area is much larger and there are many streets. It's easy to get lost if you go there for the first time."
"When I have the opportunity in the future, I have to go to the capital and see Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall, so that my life will not be in vain."
"Sister Lan, when you want to go to the capital, call me before you come and I will pick you up."
"Okay, let's just say that."
"Um."
While chatting, the tea in the cup also ran low.
Shao Mo was about to pick up the teapot and help Wei Qiaolan refill it, but Wei Qiaolan picked up the teapot before her and poured it for her and herself.
After pouring the tea and putting down the teapot, the smile on Wei Qiaolan's face faded a bit and her expression became serious.
"Shao Mo, I was supposed to be busy in the store during this time, but I had something on my mind that I wanted to talk to you in private, so I made an excuse to stay."
"Sister Lan, please speak."
Wei Qiaolan picked up the teacup, but did not drink it. She gently rubbed the edge of the teacup with her well-maintained fingers, and looked directly at Shao Mo with her beautiful eyes.
"I believe you can also see that I am indeed attracted to Lao Ling."
Shao Mo smiled and accepted it as acquiescence.
Wei Qiaolan continued: "Let me talk about my own situation first. I am from Jiang City. My parents are retired workers. I have an eldest brother above me. He inherited his father's business and entered the factory. The benefits are pretty good and he can support a small family.
I have two younger brothers, one of whom has joined a factory and the other runs a small business like me. Generally speaking, I don’t need to bear anything from my parents’ side.
As for me, I have been married twice and am three years older than Lao Ling. There is a saying that a female college student holds a golden brick. I think we are quite suitable in terms of age.
As for my personality, I have no other hobbies. I just love beauty and dressing up, and I am willing to spend money on myself. However, the money I spend is all earned by myself. I am different from other women. Other women
I value a man's ability, but I value a man's character even more.
Lao Ling is a bit dull, but he still works hard and takes care of his family. Other men can't even take care of themselves. Lao Ling not only takes care of himself, but also takes good care of his daughter. I like this about him.
.
Shao Mo, don't worry, if Lao Ling and I can make it work, I will treat Chunhua as my own, and I won't hide it from you. The reason why I got married twice and got divorced is because my health is not good."
"I can't have children."
Shao Mo couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
This era is inherently harsh on women, especially after getting married. If you are not diligent and virtuous enough in your husband's family, you will be criticized, and being infertile is a fatal and unforgivable fault.
Wei Qiaolan dared to tell her such a secret, which was obviously sincere.
"Sister Lan, have you been to the hospital for a checkup?"
"I checked, but no reason was found. I tried all kinds of folk remedies and Chinese medicines, but they didn't work. At first, I also suspected that it was the man's problem, but I tried another one and it still didn't work.
Later, a doctor told me that some women are born with chromosomal defects, but I didn’t quite understand it. Anyway, I just couldn’t get pregnant in my life, so I gave up, divorced my ex-husband, and have lived by myself until now.”
"So do they have children now?"
Wei Qiaolan laughed at herself, "Yes, my first ex-husband married a new one within two months of divorcing me, and gave birth to a big fat boy the next year, and my second ex-husband also gave birth to a baby two years ago.
I seem to be pregnant with a daughter again this year, and I think she will be born soon. I don’t pay much attention to it, I just listen to what others say.”
One may be because of the man, but if both of them are like this, it's obvious that there is something wrong with their health.
"With a body like mine, there is no other way except to be a stepmother. A few years ago, I was very angry and refused to lower my head. Now that I am older, I have gradually started to think about it. People still need to have someone by their side when they are alive.
Companion is all that matters, I don’t ask for someone to care about me when I’m sick, I just want two people to live together and not be so lonely.
I also know my own body, and I also read Lao Ling's words. He is not very interested in whether he has a son to carry on the family line. In addition, he is also reliable, so after getting along with him, I gradually became interested in him.
Shao Mo, I have said everything that needs to be said, please tell me, what do you think of me?"
Shao Mo thought for a moment before speaking, "Sister Lan, of course I can trust you as a person, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to your joining the gang in the first place. I also feel your sincerity, but this matter mainly depends on my brother's wishes.
.Have you discussed this matter with eldest brother?"
Wei Qiaolan chuckled, "Lao Ling is as dull as a piece of wood. I'm afraid I have to get naked and get into his bed before he can understand."
