Chapter 183 Visiting the Department Store
As soon as she came out of the inpatient department, Guan Youshuang saw a familiar figure sitting on the edge of the hospital garden.
It’s Lin Xiufen.
She did not apply makeup today, and her hair was not worn as usual, but was tied up randomly.
"Wait a moment."
Guan Youshuang greeted Gu Errong and the others and walked over.
"Xiufen?"
Seeing that it was Guan Youshuang, Lin Xiufen was very surprised. She quickly stood up, held Guan Youshuang's hand, and said excitedly: "Youshuang? Why are you here?"< br>
"Nothing, just coming to see a friend, how about you?"
Lin Xiufen sighed, touched her belly and said, "I'm still a little reluctant to let go."
Guan Youshuang understood that she was talking about abortion.
In fact, as a mother, she also knows how painful it is to remove a child from the body, but Lin Xiufen is different, she does not have a husband.
In this era, children without a father are destined to be laughed at.
She squeezed Lin Xiufen's hand, sighed, and said, "I'm pregnant too, and I understand how you feel."
Lin Xiufen couldn't help but shed tears.
She took out her handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and said: "But I know that I have to get rid of him no matter what. These days, I come to the hospital every day and stay there all day long. Alas . ”
Guan Youshuang didn’t know what to say.
This evil-doer Zhao Yang is so fucking useless.
Seeing the Gu Errong brother and sister standing not far away, Lin Xiufen wiped her eyes again and said, "Go and do your work, I will make up my mind."
Guan Youshuang is really honest Not knowing how to comfort Lin Xiufen, she took out a hundred yuan from her body, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "Take this money."
Lin Xiufen resisted and said: "I don't want it. The money you borrowed last time was still too much."
"Take it. If you really can't bear it, just give birth to him." Guan Youshuang left quickly after saying that. .
Lin Xiufen stood there in a daze.
She felt that the balance in her heart tilted.
The fetus in her belly moved, and her tears streamed down.
She herself knew very well what kind of rumors she would face if she gave birth to a child.
However, if this child is taken away, she may never have the right to be a mother again in her life.
She looked at the hundred dollars in her hand.
After the child is born, various expenses will follow. No one will help her take care of the child. Will she be able to earn living expenses by then?
Lin Xiufen sat back on the edge of the garden, looking at the sunset on the horizon, feeling confused.

The next day.
After sending Gu Xiaoyun to the examination room, Guan Youshuang was a little worried.
She could not confirm whether the system was successfully untied.
It wasn’t until 8:50 when the mechanical sound stopped ringing in her mind that she felt relieved.
Gu Errong has been working on a very important project these days and has been working overtime since the morning.
Guan Youshuang sat there for a while. She didn’t have a TV or a mobile phone, so she didn’t think it was interesting, so she wanted to go out for a walk.
She planned to go shopping in the department store to look at children's clothes and see if there were any new movies tonight. It happened that Xiaoyun had finished her exam today, and she wanted to take her to watch it. movie.
It dawns early in summer, and the sun is already hanging in the sky, casting a warm light.
The air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and earth, and the breeze blows, bringing a touch of coolness.
Guan Youshuang was in a good mood as she walked on the street.
Having been to the county town several times, she has never felt this small town so seriously.
The streets are lined with low bungalows and two- and three-story buildings. On the walls are worn-out billboards or store promotions, and some are old movie posters.
The morning market is a feature of the small county. It is busy at nine o'clock in the morning. The market was crowded, and the vendors shouted enthusiastically, selling fresh vegetables, fruits and various daily necessities, attracting many housewives to come and buy.
Guan Youshuang saw the fried dough sticks stall in the corner at a glance.
The stall owner is a lean middle-aged man who skillfully puts the dough into the oil pan.
The fried dough sticks expand rapidly in the hot oil and make a "sizzling" sound.
Thick soy milk is boiling in the pot next to it.
Although she had already eaten breakfast, she still couldn't help but buy two fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk.
Just as she was eating with gusto, she heard someone calling her name.
She looked up and saw Lin Xiufen again.
She was holding a small basket in her hand. In the basket were some beans, tomatoes, garlic sprouts, peppers and other vegetables.
"Xiufen, have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat together."
"I've eaten, are you coming to buy food too?" Lin Xiufen sat opposite Guan Youshuang with a smile. .
Guan Youshuang swallowed the last mouthful of fried dough sticks and said, "No, I was planning to go to the department store. I passed by here and walked in, but I accidentally had another breakfast."
"It's like this even during pregnancy. I have a good appetite recently and can eat two bowls of noodles at noon."
"Would you like to eat some more? The fried dough sticks here are quite delicious."
Lin Xiufen shook her head and said, "I won't eat anymore. I just ate two poached eggs when I went out in the morning. By the way, I have nothing to do today anyway. How about I go to the department store with you."
“Okay.”

Department store.
Because I don’t know what Lin Xiufen thinks, whether to keep this child or not. At first, Guan Youshuang did not go to the second floor where children's clothing was sold, but to the jewelry counter on the first floor.
Now that she is here, she wants to buy a gold bracelet for her mother-in-law.
Lin Xiufen used to stay in coastal cities for several years, and she also liked to study some popular clothing and jewelry.
Guan Youshuang asked the teller to take out the flat bracelet engraved with peony patterns.
Lin Xiufen said: "Youshuang, I think the styles here are not suitable for you. They are too old-fashioned. Let's go over there and have a look."
"I'm not doing it for myself. Buy it.”
“Buy it for your mother?”
Guan Youshuang shook her head and said, “Buy it for my mother-in-law.”
Lin Xiufen was stunned, "Buy it for your mother-in-law?"
"Yes. My mother-in-law is a very nice person and treats me very well."
Lin Xiufen felt quite surprised and got involved in the world. For so many years, what she had always heard was how bad the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was.
This was the first time she had seen her mother-in-law say something nice like this.
The teller quickly said: "Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a really good relationship. I can give these to my mother-in-law. I'll take them out for you to take a look at."
As she said that, she quickly took out several items. Bracelets, and explained one by one: "This traditional ring bracelet is the favorite style of the elderly. It is very simple and elegant, with no unnecessary decoration, and is very suitable for daily wear.
This carving of dragon and phoenix is auspicious. Patterned bracelets sell very well because they have good meanings.”
“There is also this one,” she said, carefully picking up a bracelet inlaid with jade, “because it is inlaid with precious stones. , are also very popular, they mean health and longevity."
"What do you think?" Guan Youshuang asked Lin Xiufen.
Lin Xiufen said: "I think the peony you just chose is the most beautiful."
Guan Youshuang felt the same way.
“Let’s go look at the jewelry over there.” A delicate female voice.
“Okay, listen to my wife.”
A very familiar male voice.
