Chapter 147 Worry

 A few years ago, Mrs. Gu had her legs broken while she was parading in the streets. Now she can only lie in bed and rely on her grandchildren to take care of her.

In a family like theirs, people in the brigade usually don't dare to have casual contact with them, for fear of even sitting down.

Gu Chaolai could only come here at night, hidden from human eyes.

Gu Chao responded, feeling complicated.

Wei Lan guessed that he and Gu Yang might have something to say, so she didn't bother him. She stood up and said, "Um, which room is Fang Xia in? I'll go see her."

Gu Yang led her to another back room, and when he came out again, he touched Gu Chao's shoulder with a wicked smile: "You kid, I'm going to tell you that you don't have good intentions."

Gu Chao twitched the corner of his mouth, pretending not to understand and walked out of the main room first, followed by Gu Yang.

 There is no light in the room.

Fang Xia couldn't speak, but her ears were very good. She could hear footsteps that were not familiar to her. She sat on the bed and fumbled to light a candle.

The firelight flickered and she could see the person coming clearly. Fang Xia grinned gently, took out a dead branch from the bed board and picked out the cotton core of the kerosene lamp, and the room suddenly became bright.

Wei Lan narrowed her eyes and saw Fang Xia clearly.

Some time ago, her condition was not very good. Her belly was surprisingly big and her body was very thin. Her face was even more sallow now, and her calves, which were as thin as vegetable poles, were swollen due to the impending delivery.

There were not many things in the room. There was a thin quilt with more than ten patches on the bed, but nothing.

Fang Xia pulled the quilt inward twice to make a space, and gently tapped the edge of the bed with her rough palms, gesturing for Wei Lan to sit down.

The life of Gu Yang's family is difficult. Even though Gu Yang strongly emphasizes that he supports the family and allows Fang Xia to raise the baby at home and take care of Grandma Gu, in order to reduce the pressure on the family, even though she is pregnant, she takes advantage of Gu Yang's absence. , Fangxia would still secretly go to the team to do light work within her ability in exchange for low work points.

If her legs hadn't been so swollen that she wouldn't have been able to get off the ground, I'm afraid she still wouldn't stop at this time.

Seeing this situation, Wei Lan felt uncomfortable. The Gu family's big house was originally owned by a landlord. It was very prosperous in the past, but now it is very desolate.

 “Stop busying yourself, I can do it myself.” Wei Lan smiled and sat down.

Fangxia couldn't speak, and Wei Lan couldn't understand sign language. She thought it would be awkward, but unexpectedly, Fangxia gently took Wei Lan's hand and wrote a few words on her palm with her rough fingers.

Wei Lan's eyes widened in surprise: "Me? Can I do it?"

Fang Xia's sallow face became even more yellow under the light of the kerosene lamp. However, at this moment, a loving smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Wei Lan expectantly and nodded repeatedly.

 She wanted Wei Lan to help her name the child who was about to be born.

Seeing that her attention was fixed, Wei Lan agreed, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully when I get back, and I'll tell you when I think of it."

Fangxia smiled and nodded slightly.

Wei Lan stared at her bulging belly for a long time, and couldn't help but warn: "Are you about to give birth? There is a rule in the city that you should move around more before giving birth, so that when the time comes, you can have less Suffer some pain."

She tried hard to recall what later generations of pregnant women should pay attention to when they were pregnant, and told Fang Xia in different ways. She was still chattering until Gu Chao came in to find someone.

 “It’s very late.” Gu Chao stood at the door of the room and did not come in.

"He's coming." Wei Lan turned around and responded, then pursed her lips and smiled at Fang Xia, "I'll come and talk to you when I have time."

Pregnant women are prone to depression before and after childbirth. The situation in Gu Yang's family is so depressing. If one is not careful, Fangxia can easily have problems.
