A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Chapter 143 Qi Baifan's Plan

I have a child!!!

Originally, he just wanted to have a tryst with his old lover, comfort his recently devastated heart, and relieve the pain of missing his lover, but he didn't expect to be told that he was going to be a father!

Qi Baifan was dumbfounded.

He was stunned by the good news and said excitedly, "Lingling, is it true? I really have a child?!"

No man doesn't like to have children, and he still has some feelings for Sun Ling, so he is naturally happier that she can have her own children.

Sun Ling nodded shyly. "I, I don't dare go to the hospital, but I've seen other women in the hospital get pregnant and they all have similar symptoms. It's probably the same."

After receiving the confirmed news, Qi Baifan felt ecstatic and contented.

"Lingling, you are so nice! Really!"

Being able to make a woman pregnant in just one time, Sun Ling greatly satisfied Qi Baifan's vanity. Not only did Qi Baifan instantly forget the humiliation of being "spying" by Xu Dongliang yesterday, but he also felt very proud of his ability in that area.

Just once, just once, to make a woman pregnant, who else can do it?

He asked who else?!

Qi Baifan, who always appeared steady and mature in front of outsiders, grinned and laughed foolishly for a long time, but after a burst of ecstasy, he felt panic in his heart.

What if Bai Xiaohui finds out?

Wouldn't his plan be in vain?

Then what's the point of me making such a huge sacrifice to marry into the family?

Qi Baifan thought of something, his mind gradually calmed down, and a calculating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

No, no, they won’t be discovered. As long as I hide Lingling well, they will definitely not find her!

And as long as you plan well, you may be able to earn a better future for your children.

Qi Baifan hugged Sun Ling tightly in his arms and promised her affectionately, "Lingling, you have been wronged. I will definitely treat you well, I will definitely treat you well!"

This is the woman he loves, he will definitely let her live a good life!

"Brother Bai Fan, I believe in you, I'll wait for you!"

Ever since Sun Ling revealed the secret that had been buried in her heart for a long time, she had been watching Qi Baifan's face. Seeing that he did not look unhappy, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt a sweet happiness in her heart.

On the first day of Bai Fan's wedding, the two found a secluded place to say goodbye. Although she knew why Bai Fan did this, she was still heartbroken at the thought of parting with her beloved man. Bai Fan kept comforting her, and she didn't know who took the initiative, but the two of them somehow ended up together.

Afterwards, Sun Ling was afraid that Qi Baifan would really abandon her. This fear became even more profound when she discovered something was wrong with her body a month later.

She was extremely worried, worried that Brother Bai Fan would never come back, and even more worried that he would not want the child. If that happened, what would be her fate? She would probably end up marrying a widower or a cripple.

But now looking at his reaction, I feel that I was overthinking it. Brother Bai Fan really has his own thoughts.

But what will happen to me and my child in the future?

Sun Ling blinked and asked cautiously, "Brother Bai Fan, what are we going to do with the child and me in the future? It's okay now. I've been hiding my nausea these past few days, but once my belly gets bigger, I won't be able to hide it from my family. If my father knew I had sex with a man before marriage, he would definitely beat me to death."

She definitely couldn't live in her own home. Even if her father didn't beat her to death, the spit from the neighbors in the slum would drown her.

Sun Ling said the ideal solution would be for Brother Bai Fan to rent a house for her and her child to live in, and give them some money every month. That way, he could come over and see them from time to time. As long as Brother Bai Fan got the widow and her daughter's house and money, she could be with Brother Bai Fan legitimately, and the three of them could be reunited.

But it was not easy to say this out loud, otherwise it would be like using the child to blackmail someone for money, and with Brother Bai Fan's personality, he might not be happy.

Sun Ling was waiting for Qi Baifan to speak.

But Qi Baifan frowned after hearing this, and didn't speak for a long time with a sullen face.

Sun Ling's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes suddenly turned red. She grabbed Qi Baifan's hand and choked up, "Brother Baifan, have you been seduced away by that woman? Don't you want me and the child anymore?"

The soft touch of his hand brought Qi Baifan back to his senses. Seeing Sun Ling's red eyes and aggrieved look at him, he felt distressed and coaxed her in a low voice, "What are you thinking about? How could I not want you? You're still pregnant with my son! Do you think I'm such a heartless person? We grew up together, don't you understand what kind of person I am?"

Sun Ling still refused to give in. "Then why do you frown when you hear what I say?"

Although she believed that Brother Bai Fan was not such a heartless person, she still felt uneasy and had to get to the bottom of it.

Qi Baifan was helpless and explained, "I was just thinking that it's not a good idea for you to continue living in that slum. The people there are too vulgar, cold and snobbish." Qi Baifan didn't have a good impression of the slum where he grew up. He could even say he hated it. Because his family was poor, he had been ridiculed and bullied by the people in the compound since he was a child. He must take Lingling and the child away and stay away from there.

Without waiting for Sun Ling to continue asking, Qi Baifan directly stated his plan, "Lingling, just wait, just wait, I will definitely find a way to get you to that compound as well, so that we can see each other often. When the child is born, he will also grow up under my nose, and I won't have to worry about that family treating the child badly."

Sun Ling was stunned. "W-what?"

She asked in disbelief, "Brother Bai Fan, what did you say? You're going to take me to that compound too? Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid that the woman in your family won't find out?"

Without waiting for Qi Baifan to answer, she shook her head desperately, "No, no, if that woman knew about me and the child, she would never let us go!"

Although she really wanted to be with Brother Bai Fan and was looking forward to the feeling of having an affair under that woman's nose, she really didn't dare to show up in front of Bai Xiaohui, for fear that if she accidentally revealed her tracks, both she and Brother Bai Fan would be finished.

Qi Baifan held Sun Ling's hand tightly. "Lingling, listen to me, listen to me. There are several single young men in our courtyard. They are all busy with blind dates since the beginning of the new year. And for some reasons, they have a hard time finding a good girl like you. They must be looking forward to it."

Sun Ling understood what Qi Baifan meant. He wanted her to go on a blind date with another man, marry him, and then have a child with him.

Sun Ling's eyes widened, her heart pounding like thunder, and she stammered, "Is this believable?"

Qi Baifan said confidently, "Why not? There are not many smart people in that courtyard!"

They are all a bunch of fucking psychos!

But there is no need to tell Lingling this. She just needs to take her child and marry someone from the courtyard.

Qi Baifan was thinking about the single young men in the yard, and his mind suddenly became active.

He must choose a better-off family for his son.

……

While Qi Baifan and his old lover were plotting against the single young men in the hospital, Zheng Haiyang was experiencing the most humiliating day of his career.

In the past two days, the news that Old Man Zheng had falsified his martyr status has spread throughout the factory. Naturally, no one has a good impression of Zheng Haiyang, who has enjoyed many benefits brought by Old Man Zheng's status as a martyr.

In addition, Zheng Haiyang used to work in the security department. Although he said he was righteous and kind, he was still somewhat arrogant towards these ordinary workers. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words and deeds showed some of it. Others were not fools, so how could they not notice it?

Now that Zheng Haiyang has become an ordinary worker like them, or even worse than them, those who were despised or looked down upon by him in the past are somewhat gloating, and some of them are even narrow-minded and start to be sarcastic to his face.

A man in his twenties, of medium build, was surprised to see Zheng Haiyang coming to the workshop. "Hey, isn't this the child of our great martyr? Why are you here? Did you come to the wrong place?"

As he spoke, he pointed diagonally ahead and said, "The security department is up ahead. This place is so dirty, full of motor oil, and it smells terrible!"

Another thinner man immediately laughed at him, "Old Zhang, you're not that old, how come your memory is so bad? Old Zheng's martyr honor was taken back by the factory a long time ago. Where did the Zheng family get the children of martyrs now? Don't talk nonsense, or someone with ulterior motives will hear it and make a mistake!"

The man suddenly realized something and said in a friendly tone, "Oh my, my memory is so bad that I actually forgot that the factory issued a special notice about this matter a few days ago. It seemed to say that Haiyang would be transferred to the workshop from now on and become an ordinary worker like us, and no longer a respectable security staff member. Blame it on me, blame it on me, for forgetting such an important thing! Haiyang, please don't mind it!"

The man from before laughed again, "That's right. Don't forget it next time, or you'll make a fool of yourself in the ocean."

"Definitely not, definitely not!"

The two men sang the same tune, seemingly explaining the reasons for Zheng Haiyang, but in fact they were making fun of him in a sarcastic way, ridiculing him openly and secretly that he was no longer the respectable security employee he used to be.

Zheng Haiyang's already unhappy face darkened even more on the spot.

What the hell is this? Are you trying to be mean to him?!

You've been asked to say all the good and bad things, right?

Zheng Haiyang's face turned pale. He looked at the two men who echoed the same sentiment with heavy eyes, and asked with suppressed anger, "What do you mean?"

The middle-sized man said nonchalantly, "What do you mean? Ocean, what are you talking about?"

The thinner man also nodded and said, "Isn't it just a reminder for Old Zhang to learn his lesson and not to hurt you? Is that wrong? Haiyang, I'm not saying this, but you're too sensitive, aren't you? Why are you acting like a woman?"

"Don't tell me you're taking your anger out on us, are you? Ocean, this is really unkind of you!"

My goodness, Zheng Haiyang didn't even say anything, and these two people started to turn the tables on him. With these accusations one after another, people who didn't know would think that he had done something extremely treasonous.

In fact, he was just asking a question in return.

Zheng Haiyang glared at the two of them, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

In the past, he would have grabbed the other person's collar and punched him a few times, but now, he didn't dare to do so and could only endure the insult.

Zheng Haiyang kept brainwashing himself in his mind, telling himself that he must endure it. If he had a conflict with someone on the first day of work and it got to the factory leaders, he would be really finished.

Be patient!

Be patient!

The two men looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Who can't see that, although this guy was sent to the workshop by the factory, he is still arrogant in his heart. He thinks he is superior to others and never looks down on those of them who make a living by physical labor.

Bah! Arrogance is bullshit! Who is different from who?

They just wanted to kill his arrogance.

The reason why they dared to bully people in person was because Zheng Haiyang had just been punished by the factory and had no future. I don't think he would dare to do anything to them now!

The two men ignored Zheng Haiyang completely, told him to work harder and went about their own business.

Zheng Haiyang stared at the backs of the two men for a long time with red eyes, thinking that one day, one day, he would definitely teach these people who ridiculed him a lesson!

……

On the other side, in the courtyard.

As soon as the New Year was over, several aunts in the courtyard who had single young men at home hurriedly started a new round of blind dates.

They have to be anxious. With the coming of the new year, the reputation of the compound is about to rise to a higher level. If they don’t hurry, their sons and grandsons will be bachelors for the rest of their lives!

Cheng Jiajia got off work early today, so she moved a small stool and sat at the door of Aunt Cao's house, listening to Aunt Hao and Aunt Cao complain about the difficult blind date of their troublesome son, Zou Qingshu.

The reason was that Zou Qingshu dated several girls during the Spring Festival but all failed. Some of them were because Zou Qingshu himself didn't like them, and some of them declined the offer after hearing the reputation of their compound.

I met another guy yesterday, but when the girl heard that they lived in Compound No. 35, her face changed immediately. She found an excuse to slip away without even eating a bite.

Aunt Hao: “!!!”

No, didn’t the matchmaker tell us where they live?

I really never said that!

How dare I tell you? What's the reputation of Compound No. 35 these days? If I tell you, people won't come anymore, right?

She kept it a secret and let the two young people go on a blind date. What if by chance they met someone who didn't care about these things and they fell in love?

Wouldn't it be possible for me to earn some money as a matchmaker?

With this mentality, the matchmaker will fool as many people as possible, and if they don't match up, then that's the next thing to do.

Aunt Hao felt that the matchmaker she had entrusted was unreliable and was very disappointed with her. She no longer counted on her.

But she had already picked out all the girls of marriageable age that she knew, so where could she find a wife for this unfilial son?

Aunt Hao is so worried!

Wang Xiaowu's mother, Aunt Tao from the backyard, frowned upon hearing this and added, "Oh, it seems my Wang Xiaowu needs to find a partner quickly. You all know our family's situation. Before, we didn't dare to think about it because he didn't have a job. But after he got a job, we always thought we'd wait until he saved up a few years before considering marriage. Now that you're saying this, we really need to hurry up."

Wang Xiaowu is the eldest in the family, and he has two younger brothers and sisters who are still in school. Before Wang Xiaowu started working, the family's living expenses and the tuition fees for the three children were all paid for by Wang's father alone. Therefore, the family's financial situation was relatively tight, and they didn't save much money. Marrying a wife was also very expensive, so Aunt Tao and her husband had not planned to arrange their children's marriage so soon.

But now, after hearing Aunt Hao talk about the difficulties Zou Qingshu encountered on his blind date journey, Aunt Tao was frightened.

She decided that she should start making arrangements early, so that her son wouldn't be single in the future!

As they were talking, Cheng Jiajia was listening with great interest, when she saw Zheng Haiyang coming in from the gate with a sullen face and looking angry, and went straight back to his home.

In the past, Zheng Haiyang paid the most attention to his image in public. Whenever he saw the elders in the courtyard, he would greet them warmly with a smile. But today, he simply pretended not to see them and ignored everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, winked and whispered, "What's wrong with this guy?"

Aunt Cao didn't take it seriously. "Who knows? Maybe he's just in a bad mood because he was demoted to the workshop."

Cheng Jiajia raised an eyebrow. She had a good idea. Today was Zheng Haiyang's first day on the factory floor. Going from a promising position in security to an ordinary worker must be a big psychological gap, right? Who knows, there might be people in the factory waiting to take advantage of him. Isn't that what's happening?

No one took it seriously, and they continued to talk about arranging blind dates for single young men.

Several aunts didn't notice that there was a figure standing at their hanging flower gate and listening for a long time. His eyes were rolling around and it was obvious that he didn't have any good ideas.

Several middle-aged women complained for a long time about their sons' disappointment and were almost going gray with worry about finding a partner for their children.

Unexpectedly, the next day, a shocking piece of news broke out in the courtyard that shocked everyone.
