"Forty days?" Zhang Xiu Lan suspected she had heard wrongly.

It was already a blessing from the Li family that she could stay in confinement for thirty days, and Zhang Xiulan could not accept having to stay for forty days.

"That's right! Mom, don't be so anxious about those work points you get from the fields. If you're in good health, earning ten work points a day is nothing. If you're not in good health, it's a loss even if you're given twenty work points a day! What's more, if you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you'll develop chronic illnesses. If you don't realize it now, it will be too late to regret it when you're old," Li Jinfeng explained.

Confinement is a great time for women to recover their energy and nourish their bodies.

If it were a woman decades later, it would be okay to have a 30-day confinement period, after all, she wouldn't have to do heavy work in the fields.

In this era, many women, who had just given birth, were left carrying manure and soil, either in their hands or on their shoulders.

It may seem a little bit hard and tiring now, but once a chronic disease develops, it will be something you will regret for the rest of your life.

She could easily afford the food earned from ten days' work points for Zhang Xiu Lan, so there was no need for Zhang Xiu Lan to rush to work.

"Jinfeng, Mom is doing very well now! Think about the other women in the production team who gave birth. They didn't even have time to rest after the baby was born, and they went to work in the fields. They also did laundry and cooking." Zhang Xiulan tried to convince Li Jinfeng.

Unexpectedly, Li Jinfeng simply acted like a rogue.

"I don't care. Mom, if you don't listen to me, I will go to Uncle Zhao and beg him not to assign any work to you. If you insist on doing it, then I will ask him not to give you any work points! Anyway, it's up to you to make the choice!" Li Jinfeng said.

Zhang Xiu Lan had no choice but to agree to Li Jinfeng's words.

"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you. Forty days, that's forty days!"

After forty days, if she does more work and takes over the laundry and cooking chores at home, she should be able to make up for the work she has missed during this period.

Li Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhang Xiulan's words.

As long as Zhang Xiu Lan and the other members of the Li family can be convinced, it will be easy to convince them.

In fact, it’s okay if Zhang Xiulan doesn’t work.

Although the Zhang family fell into decline, Zhang Chaosheng, Li Jinfeng's uncle, left enough money.

Those gold and treasures alone are enough for Zhang Xiulan to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

But Zhang Xiulan can't.

Right now, when everyone is having a hard time, you cannot enjoy yourself.

If you enjoy yourself, everyone will be suspicious and jealous.

Suspicion and jealousy often bring endless disasters. Li Jinfeng must protect Zhang Xiu Lan.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you." Li Jinfeng said.

"What's up?"

"I am pregnant!"

"What, you...you are pregnant?" Zhang Xiulan's eyes widened and an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on her face.

"I...I'm going to be a grandmother?" she asked.

"Yes, the doctor said it's only been about a month." Li Jinfeng said.

"Silly child, I know this without the doctor telling me. It's about a month."

Li Jinfeng and Lu Jianguo had been married for only one to almost two months.

Having a child only takes about a month, right?

After Zhang Xiu Lan said this, Li Jinfeng finally reacted.

She's become stupid.

People say that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years, maybe it’s true!

Zhang Xiu Lan took Li Jinfeng's hand and told her a lot of things to pay attention to during pregnancy.

Let her not work hard or tire herself out.

At the end, she asked, "Does Jianguo know this news?"
