A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Chapter 108 A “guest” comes to the courtyard

It was a clear and sunny day, the sky was clear and the blue sky was endless, which made people feel refreshed just by looking at it. But maybe it was an illusion, because if you stare at the blue sky for a long time, you will feel that it is faintly emitting green light.

A child with a flat head pointed to the sky and excitedly tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, "Mom, the sky has turned green!"

"Didn't you say the sky was blue? Why did it turn green?"

The woman thought it was the child's nonsense and frowned and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the sky be green?"

The child pouted and shouted unconvincedly, "It's green, it's green..."

The woman looked up at the sky, and her eyes immediately widened.

"Oh my god, what the hell!"

"Why did the sky turn green?!"

……

A tall and strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked into the yard of No. 35, carrying two cans of malted milk in his left hand and an old hen and a big fish in his right hand.

The distances between the houses in the compound are very close, so any small noise from one house can be heard clearly by the neighbors.

Therefore, when a stranger came over, everyone knew it almost immediately, not to mention that this "guest" brought a lot of things with him in large and small bags.

As soon as this person walked in, the eyes of several gossip team members gathered in the front yard were directed straight at him.

Well, mainly looking at what he was holding in his hand.

These days, even among real relatives, such gifts are rare. For ordinary families like theirs, a bag of cakes and a piece of meat are usually considered a relatively large gift when visiting relatives.

This person brought so much at once, didn’t he shock everyone?

"Oh my, whose relative is this? He brought so many things, his family must be well-off!"

Chang Dafen's eyes were glued to the two cans of malted milk and the old hen.

Aunt Cao was also envious, but she had a more important question. She asked the other aunties who were craning their necks to look at the people:

"There are such wealthy relatives in our courtyard? Why haven't I seen them before?"

Aunt Cao calls herself "the most well-informed person in the compound" and will never allow any mistakes in her information.

Several aunts shook their heads and said they had never seen it.

"I think it might be from the Zou family. Isn't his eldest son a soldier out there? Maybe it's someone he knows. Only a soldier could be so generous."

Everyone agreed.

These days, soldiers earn quite a bit of money every month, plus they get various coupons. They usually eat and live in the army, so they can save some money and spend more lavishly on things.

Ordinary people generally wouldn't be willing to give so many good things as gifts.

……

Everyone was still wondering whose wealthy relative this was when Ma Gaosheng hurried over with a smile on his face. He put his arm around the man's shoulders and said, "Brother Wei, you're here, why are you bringing so many things?"

Everyone was shocked: "Wow! When did Ma Gaosheng have such a wealthy relative?"

Ma Da Niang was a snob. Within a few days of arriving, she had already listed all the prominent figures in the Ma family and even looked down on those in the courtyard who were not doing so well. If there were such a person among her relatives, she would have been talking about him a long time ago.

"Why haven't you been here before?"

"Well, he only moved here after marrying Hu Mei. Maybe this relative used to live with the old Ma family?"

"Yes."

The aunties thought about it and stopped worrying. They stretched their necks and looked curiously towards the Ma family.

Ma Gaosheng's mother, known as the 'second Chang Dafen', came out to greet him with a smile on her usually harsh face.

"Oh, Xiao Wei! Tell me, tell me, what is your relationship with Gaosheng? You come to my house just like you are at home, why are you so polite? How can I have the nerve to accept all these things you bring?" Although she said so, Aunt Ma's eyes were fixed on the malted milk and the old hen and she couldn't move them away.

Wow, I've only heard that Wei Xiang has a good relationship with his son, but I didn't expect it to be this close.

Look, he brought so many precious things, what a close relationship they must have!

Aunt Ma's eyes flickered. She heard that this person was a high-ranking official. Wouldn't that mean...

The tall and strong man, Wei Xiang, noticed what Ma did and handed her the thing in his hand without losing the smile on his face.

"Aunt, I heard Gaosheng's wife is pregnant, so I exchanged some tickets with someone to buy these things. Please don't refuse. They are all gifts from me, your uncle, to your nephew. If you really feel bad about it, just let the child call me godfather when he grows up."

Aunt Ma paused as she took the item. What the hell? Gao Sheng had never told her this!

He just said that his leader would come to his house as a guest today and asked me not to neglect him.

It turns out that this person has such thoughts. Can she accept this thing?

Aunt Ma looked at the good things in front of her and felt a little reluctant to leave.

Seeing the man's bewildered expression, Wei Xiang suddenly looked at Ma Gaosheng and asked, "Gaosheng, how about you accept me as your godfather after the child is born? I know it's a bit abrupt not to discuss this with you in advance, but you know my situation. I love children, and we have such a good relationship, so I made this unwelcome request. Please don't be offended. It's okay if you don't agree. It's really okay."

Ma Gaosheng was also stunned, then a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Brother Wei, you are being too formal. What is your relationship with me? If the child doesn't call you godfather, who else can he call godfather?"

He really didn't expect Wei Xiang to say this suddenly.

But he soon remembered that Wei Xiang was their team leader, and he still had to rely on Wei Xiang's support in the sales department. If he could get closer to him, it would only benefit him and not harm him.

He thought to himself, no wonder this person brought so many things today, so this is his plan. He was originally worried that this person might need his help with something, so he was a little nervous.

After this incident, Ma Gaosheng felt much more at ease when accepting Wei Xiang's things.

He also began to think about what benefits he could gain from having this relationship with Wei Xiang. Would he be able to get more kickbacks next time?

After receiving a signal from her son, Aunt Ma swiftly took the malted milk and the hen, smiling happily.

Hehe, with so many good things, it’s a great deal for my eldest grandson to be recognized as his godfather. It’s such a great deal!

When the eldest grandson is born, there will be more good things!

Hu Mei kept watching them with a smile on her face, not saying much.

But at this moment, she touched her belly, looking like a happy little woman.

Everyone else in the compound envied the good fortune of Ma Gaosheng's little kid.

This little baby is still in her mother's belly, and she already has such a generous godfather. She is sure to have many blessings in the future. She is really lucky!

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, who knew some of the inside story and came to join in the fun, were stunned.

Cheng Jiajia: Shura field, Shura field!

Yu Junsheng: Damn, Ma Gaosheng is such an idiot. He thinks he is taking advantage of others even though he has a lot of power over him.

"It must be his, it must be his!" Cheng Jiajia was sure.

Yu Junsheng chuckled, "I've never seen anyone so stupid."

Originally they were still wondering whose child Hu Mei was carrying, but now it seems...

So this guy knew that Hu Mei was pregnant and came to see his baby openly?

Isn’t this too arrogant?

I wonder how embarrassed Ma Gaosheng will feel when he finds out the truth and thinks about what happened. Will he want to dig a hole and bury himself?

Gee...

Wei Xiang only glanced at Hu Mei when he entered the room and then paid no attention to her. Hu Mei also didn't say a word to Wei Xiang.

No matter who looked at them, they seemed unfamiliar with Wei Xiang, but only they themselves knew the undercurrents surging in their hearts.

……

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng guessed correctly. Wei Xiang did come to check on Hu Mei because he heard that she was pregnant.

Recently, because Aunt Ma came to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, Hu Mei had no time to visit him. When Wei Xiang suddenly heard that she was pregnant, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

He knew, he knew that the baby in Hu Mei's belly must be his!

Ma Gaosheng is such a useless guy. They have been married for several years. If he could make a woman pregnant, he would have done so a long time ago. Why would he wait until now?

This child must be mine!

Wei Xiang was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days at home. He really liked children.

Wei Xiang originally had a wife who died of complications during childbirth, leaving behind a sick son. Over the years, he devoted all his attention to this sick son and had no intention of looking for another one. It was not until last year when the child died that he began to think about other things.

His relationship with Hu Mei... He didn't expect Hu Mei to be pregnant at this time!

But on second thought, there is nothing wrong with this. Ma Gaosheng is unable to have children anyway, and his son is the only child in the Ma family. They will definitely treat this child well.

With such a secret thought in mind, Wei Xiang came to the Ma family with valuable gifts, under the pretext of "visiting his brother's pregnant wife."

He also deliberately mentioned the matter of being the child's godfather.

There is only one letter difference between "godfather" and "dad". From now on, I will be able to hear my son call me dad openly.

He knew Ma Gaosheng, a man who loved to curry favor with others. Considering his status and the things he brought, he would definitely agree to his request.

The result was just as he expected. Ma Gaosheng hesitated for a moment and then immediately agreed.

Wei Xiang felt secretly happy and contemptuous.

Thinking that these things were also for Hu Mei and the child to eat, Wei Xiang was reluctant to spend money. He specially found someone to exchange tickets and bought two large cans of malted milk. Fearing that his son would not get enough nutrition, he also bought an old hen and a big fish.

He also repeatedly explained, "Aunt, you also know my situation. I've been through this before. You have to listen to me. Now is the most critical time for my sister-in-law. She must not get tired. She must also nourish her body so that the baby will be born in the future with a good body." But she must not get tired and starve his son!

The Ma family thought that he was really concerned about the child's health because of his dead son, so they agreed without hesitation.

Wei Xiang was very satisfied.

He sat for a while, chatting with Ma Gaosheng and Aunt Ma about this and that, talking about some work matters, some family matters, and inquiring about Hu Mei's situation in a roundabout way. He was relieved to know that she was fine.

Ma Gaosheng is a scheming person. In order to get closer to Wei Xiang, he specially asked Wei Xiang to stay for dinner.

Wei Xiang naturally wanted it very much, but he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The two of them clinked glasses at the table, exchanged many heartfelt words, and had a very pleasant conversation.

Ma Gaosheng felt that his relationship with this "brother" had taken a step forward, and he felt very happy.

Wei Xiang also felt that he had a legitimate reason to come to the Ma family to see the children in the future, and he was very happy.

All in all, it's a 'win-win' situation.

…………

The Ma family's 'distinguished guest' arrived with great fanfare and left with great fanfare. The Ma family members cordially saw him off to the gate of the compound. Aunt Ma even deliberately shouted, "My child's godfather, next time you come home, don't bring so many things!"

This caused a lot of discussion in the compound.

Not to mention Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, the two of them were mixed in the crowd, and their expressions were very interesting.

Cheng Jiajia had lived two lifetimes, but this was the first time she had seen such an arrogant mistress. The key point was that Ma Gaosheng didn't notice it at all, and even treated her like a brother, expressing gratitude. Tsk tsk...

To enter the house, this is what you call to enter the house, right?

Yu Junsheng tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember whether these things appeared in his dream.

But even if he remembered, he was too lazy to remind others. Neither of the couple was an easy person to deal with. If he remembered correctly, Ma Gaosheng had a bad record outside, but it just hadn't come to light yet.

Who could have imagined that the famous loving couple in their courtyard were both having affairs outside.

Yu Junsheng shook his head and took his wife's hand and went back to the house.

Most people in the courtyard envied the unborn child of the Ma family, and were wondering what Wei Xiang, the godfather, would bring when the child was born.

Chang Dafen said sarcastically with jealousy, "Bah! Aren't you afraid of losing your good fortune by recognizing a godfather who is so useless at such a young age?"

She admitted she was just jealous. Why were the Ma family's kids so lucky?! It wasn't even March yet, and such a wealthy "godfather" had come to claim the baby, while her own daughter-in-law still had no idea what was going on with the baby in her belly!

Chang Dafen felt upset just thinking about it, and when she was upset, she didn't want to make things easy for others, so harsh words just came out of her mouth.

Aunt Ma couldn't take it anymore and immediately yelled back, "Bah! You damned old woman, the baby in your daughter-in-law's belly is the one with the bad luck and short life!"

Chang Dafen: “…”

Chang Dafen thought, Jiang Qiubai still didn't know what was going on with the baby in her belly, so why did she care whether he was blessed or not!

Aunt Ma was a little surprised that she didn't hear Chang Dafen scolding back. She looked at her suspiciously, wondering if this old shrew was up to something.

But she didn't have the heart to care about it now. After sending the person home, Aunt Ma took Hu Mei's hand and said earnestly:

"Daughter-in-law, the child's godfather is right. From now on, you should not do any housework. And the food here is not good. I have to buy you a chicken every week to replenish your body. You must not be like Wei Xiang's previous child, who was born with poor health. You must take good care of yourself!"

Aunt Ma now likes Hu Mei as much as she wants, and thinks that everything about this daughter-in-law is pleasing to the eye.

Not only can she give birth to a grandson, but she can also bring wealth to the family before the child is even born. What a good daughter-in-law!

She was wrong. She shouldn't have called Hu Mei a hen that doesn't lay eggs!

"I know, Mom."

Hu Mei pursed her lips, feeling sweet in her heart, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She knew that Wei Xiang said those words deliberately for her and her children, fearing that the old lady and Ma Gaosheng at home would treat her badly.

She knew that this person was indeed more considerate than Ma Gaosheng.

Ma Gaosheng naturally has his own advantages, so she likes both of them.
