Chapter 81: It turned out to be her cousin
Under the banyan tree in Baiwan Fishing Village, Li Ziqiang was playing cards with several men in the village, and he was dazed, throwing the cards aside, squatting aside and smoking.
"Since I married that stinky woman, I haven't won a single day." He irritably puffed out white smoke rings and muttered to himself.
"Brother Qiang, you are looking forward to giving birth to a daughter, maybe you will marry a wealthy family by then, and all problems will be solved." A man next to him was scrolling through the news, and he happened to see Ling Siye and Lin Xi on the hot search.
"How can there be so many stories of Cinderella and the Prince?" Li Ziqiang squinted impatiently and flicked the cigarette ash on his hand.
"Look at this girl, she looks like a real water spirit, she married Ling Siye, the No. 1 wealthy family in Ruicheng, and she doesn't have to worry about breaking her leg in this life." The man looked at Lin Xi's photo with an obscene look and handed the phone to Li Ziqiang to see.
"Look, isn't it, this woman is really tender out of water."
Li Ziqiang took a look, this woman was very beautiful, but he always felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"She's flying on the branches as a phoenix." Li Ziqiang withdrew his eyes and took a sharp puff of cigarette.
"Yes, you say, if you give birth to a daughter and have this life, will you still use the sun and rain to fish?"
"It's useless to say something." Li Ziqiang stood up, threw away the cigarette butt, raised his foot to extinguish it, and left the banyan tree head.
While walking home, Li Ziqiang recalled in his mind, who was the woman on the news? Why did he feel a sense of déjà vu.
But he just couldn't remember, so he turned irritably to the dock, picked up the stones on the ground and floated into the sea.
"Ouch, Ah Qiang, why are you playing here, Qinghe is cooking at home with a big belly, you don't go back to help." It's Li Ziqiang's aunt.
"Isn't it just cooking? Where is so squeamish. Li Ziqiang replied angrily, threw all the stones in his hand into the sea, and went home in a huff.
In a two-story blue brick house, Zhang Qinghe is cooking in the kitchen, she is three months pregnant, and her belly is slightly bulging. Some time ago, morning sickness was too uncomfortable, because she was a tour guide, and she couldn't stand it every day, so she left her job.
Now at home, she has no financial resources, and Li Ziqiang doesn't like her anymore.
When Li Ziqiang got home, Zhang Qinghe greeted him with a smile: "Ah Qiang, are you going to sea in the afternoon?" ”
"If you can't go to sea, I know in my heart that I want you to nag here." Li Ziqiang lost the money, was depressed, and poured all his anger on Zhang Qinghe.
"Take advantage of the good weather these days, cast a few nets and sell some money, otherwise there will be a typhoon in a few days, and there will be no income." Zhang Qinghe was going to go for a prenatal checkup today, but she didn't have any money in her hand, so she didn't go, thinking that she would go back to her parents' house in the afternoon and ask her mother to borrow some.
"Zhang Qinghe, why didn't I find out that you were so material before I got married, every day is money, and I am annoyed." Li Zi shouted strongly.
"Li Ziqiang, what the hell is your name? Doesn't it cost anything to eat? The child's prenatal examination does not cost money, and there is no money for the birth of the child, is it possible? ”
"You're going to be a dad, and you still gamble every day, no wonder my cousin and my mother reminded me."
Zhang Qinghe was extremely aggrieved, tears burst out of her eyes, and Lin Xi's words echoed in her ears again.
But what can she do? She loves Li Ziqiang, and now she is pregnant with his child, and she really wants to live with him.
Hearing Zhang Qinghe's words, Li Ziqiang's eyes lit up instantly, cousin? Isn't it the woman who sent her on the wedding boat that day? No wonder he always felt that the woman on the news was familiar, it turned out to be her. Li Ziqiang then remembered that he had seen Lin Xi on the wedding day on the wedding boat.
Li Ziqiang hurriedly opened his mobile phone and searched for photos of Lin Xi and Ling Siye.
He hugged Zhang Qinghe and said softly: "Qinghe, I'm sorry, it's my bad tone, I'll go to sea in the afternoon to make money to raise you and the baby." ”
Hearing Li Ziqiang say this, Zhang Qinghe turned crying into laughter, and leaned on Li Ziqiang with a sweet face: "Ah Qiang, I just want to live a good life with you and raise our baby to grow up." ”
When Li Ziqiang saw Zhang Qinghe so coaxed, he was very proud, and said that a woman who fell in love had an IQ of zero, it seemed that it was really about the same, and he snorted coldly in his heart.
"I know, Qinghe, in the future, we will be together and wait for the baby to be born." Li Ziqiang continued to coax Zhang Qinghe.
"Hmm." Zhang Qinghe nodded happily.
Seeing that Zhang Qinghe's mood was stable, Li Ziqiang opened the photo of Ling Siye and Lin Xi on his mobile phone and handed it to Zhang Qinghe: "Qinghe, who do you think this is?" ”
Zhang Qinghe took Li Ziqiang's mobile phone and looked at the photo, Li Ziqiang stared at her intently, observing the subtle expression changes on Zhang Qinghe's face.
"Cuong, how do you have a picture of your cousin and brother-in-law?" Zhang Qinghe looked puzzled.
"Qinghe, you don't know yet, your cousin married into the No. 1 wealthy family in Ruicheng, and your brother-in-law is the famous president of Dinghong Group, Ling Siye." Li Ziqiang said that the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, as if this president was himself.
"Really? Cuong, that's great, we should be happy for our cousin. Zhang Qinghe had a bright smile on his face.
"Qinghe, you said that your cousin is so rich, you are her dearest, so you can borrow some money from her." Li Ziqiang's heart has blossomed.
"Ah Qiang, no one's money is blown by the wind, we can't reach out to our cousin, we have hands and feet, and there is definitely no problem in supporting the baby on our own." Zhang Qinghe didn't want to trouble Lin Xi until she couldn't get through it.
"You don't even have money for prenatal check-ups now, what can you do?" Zhang Qinghe said this, and Li Ziqiang instantly looked like a deflated ball.
"Don't even think about the idea of beating your cousin!"
"My mother won't agree, if you are a man, you will go to sea to fish in the afternoon and make money for me to go to prenatal checkup."
Zhang Qinghe was also angry, directly warned Li Ziqiang, and then walked into the kitchen to continue cooking.
Li Ziqiang sat in the house and knocked melon seeds, thinking about how to make some money from Lin Xi.
After the meal, Li Ziqiang went out to sea to fish with a fishing net on his back, and Zhang Qinghe took a bus back to the shallow fishing village.
"Mom." Zhang Qinghe shouted Yang Zilan, who was chopping coconut green for tourists.
"Qinghe, go in and sit, how fierce the sun is outside." Yang Zilan felt sorry for her daughter and was pregnant, so she took the bus back by herself against the sun.
Zhang Qinghe's eyes were red, and he walked into the stall and sat down.
"Hurry up and drink some water." Yang Zilan handed Zhang Qinghe a glass of water.
"Mom, you sit too."
"Hmm."
"Mom, how is business lately? Summer passed quickly. Zhang Qinghe was embarrassed and just came back, so she asked her mother for money, but she couldn't delay the baby's prenatal checkup.
"It's okay for tourists now, but there should be fewer next month, and it's harder to get through it in winter if no one comes to the beach." Yang Zilan is also worried about this problem.
"Mom, I'm also leaving my job now, and I'm going to open an online store to sell some dried seafood, if someone buys it, I'll send you the address, and you will ship it directly."
"Okay, a lot of people can sell a lot of it online." Yang Zilan raised a smile, as if she saw hope.
"Mom." Zhang Qinghe wanted to speak and stopped, she really couldn't open her mouth.
Her mother objected to her marrying Li Ziqiang at the time, but she didn't listen, and as a result, less than two months after getting married, she went back to her parents' house to borrow money for prenatal checkups.
"Did Li Ziqiang bully you?" Yang Zilan circled around Zhang Qinghe to see if she was injured.
"If he dares to hit you, I will fight with him."
Yang Zilan didn't notice that Zhang Qinghe was injured, and her face softened slightly.
"Mom, you sit down, he didn't hit me, he just ......"
"Just what? Say it quickly, talk to your mother and still stumble. "Yang Zilan is going to die in a hurry.
"Mom, can you lend me 2,000 yuan, I'm going to have a prenatal checkup, and the family has no money." Zhang Qinghe's voice was as low as a mosquito rope, and he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"You said that you are a child, I don't know if you are blind, let you not follow Li Ziqiang, you have to listen, you don't want a good job outside, you have to come back to this small fishing village to marry him." Yang Zilan nagged while going to the counter drawer to get money.
"Did he go play cards again?"
"No, he's out to sea." Zhang Qinghe didn't dare to tell the truth.
"Here, here are 5,000 yuan, you use it first, don't be reluctant to eat, the baby also needs nutrition." Yang Zilan told Zhang Qinghe, her heart aching.
"Thank you, Mom." Zhang Qinghe put the money in his bag.
"This is still the money that your cousin secretly put in the rice jar."
"Cousin?" Zhang Qinghe looked surprised.
"Well, when you got married, before she left, she secretly put 20,000 yuan in the rice jar at home, and I only found out when I was cooking later."
"Mom, my brother-in-law is the richest man in Ruicheng, and I only found out today, and my cousin shouldn't have known it before." Zhang Qinghe told Yang Zilan about Lin Xi.
"That's a good thing, Ah Ye looks like a good person, a talent, who is like you, blind." As she spoke, Yang Zilan's flames rushed to her head.
"Mom, I'll go first." Zhang Qinghe stays any longer, and Yang Zilan will nag again.
"Go ahead, eat more."
"Got it."
Yang Zilan looked at Zhang Qinghe's departing back, and she secretly wiped her tears.
