After Zhou's mother sent Zhou San's aunt away and the others went back to the kitchen to clean up, she planned to go to the room to check on the children. When she went out, she saw Zhao Huifang and Zhang Xiuxiang coming back with baskets after delivering the red eggs.

As soon as Zhao Huifang saw Zhou's mother, she said, "Mom, someone asked me why Qiuyue didn't help deliver the red eggs. I said she was helping at home. Do you think they figured out something?"

"No way?" Zhou's mother frowned and looked at the two of them, "Qiuyue really has to go out and hide, the trouble is still to come!"

Zhang Xiuxiang said, "I thought of that, too. They're about to sow the seeds, and then they're going to harvest rapeseed and wheat. If she's not here during the busy farming season, Xiang Qunying will probably get suspicious, and if she sees us, we'll be exposed."

After hearing this, Zhou's mother felt that Zhang Xiuxiang's concerns were absolutely right. The family had just renovated the house. If it was reported to that bitch Xiang Qunying now, and Qiuyue didn't go to take the child away, they might really be dragged out of the house.

"Huifang, take the chicken soup to Chunyan. I'll go discuss it with Qiuyue and Lao San to see if we can find a more appropriate solution."

Zhao Huifang said hurriedly, "Mom, Aunt Datian said the other day that Xiang Qunying really doesn't plan to continue to be the women's director, and she plans to run for election. You go and tell Qiuyue to try to stay out of the house as little as possible during this period, and wait until the village meeting for the re-election after the Qingming Festival."

"Okay! I'll go tell her right away!" Zhou's mother felt that with the relationship between her family and Zhou Datian's family, once Hongxiu became the director of the Women's Department, Qiuyue could stay at home for a while longer and then go out to hide after the election.

When Zhou's mother arrived at Zhou Huaishan's house, she saw Li Qiuyue planting onions in the yard and said to her, "Come with me."

"Mom, what's the matter?" Li Qiuyue put down the onion and went to the main room with her.

"Just now your eldest and second sisters-in-law went to deliver red eggs..." Zhou's mother looked at her, "Have you really decided to go find Daqing and hide in their forest farm?"

After hearing this, Li Qiuyue frowned so hard that a mosquito could be pinched to death. "We don't know where else to hide. Only the forest farm is a bit more secluded. Where else can we go if not there? The third brother plans to ask the youngest brother to talk to Uncle Daqing in the next two days."

She thought that others went out to avoid having more children than allowed, and her parents' family was a great help, providing people and labor. She was the only one who could not rely on anyone else, and yet she was thinking of asking for money from her.

Seeing her like that, Zhou's mother felt sorry for her. "With the relationship between the youngest and Yiding, if the forest farm is okay, your uncle Daqing will definitely agree. If you are too embarrassed to ask, I will take some time to ask him shamelessly."

Li Qiuyue grabbed her hand gratefully after hearing this, "Thank you, Mom. The best blessing in my life is to marry the third child and have such good parents-in-law like you and the old man!"

Mother Zhou was quite happy to hear her say this. She glared at her in reproach and said, "I don't expect you to say good things about us. I just want you to be safe and sound. Don't think about it all day and drive yourself crazy."

Li Qiuyue also understood that Zhou's mother was doing this for her own good. "I understand. I won't think about it anymore."

Mother Zhou warned in a low voice: "Chunyan has just given birth, and many relatives and friends have sent confinement gifts. You should go to the youngest's house less often. It will be much more convenient when your Aunt Datian chooses you. If you can't sit still and go out and get seen by someone with ulterior motives, you know the consequences!"

"I'll remember that!" After Li Qiuyue agreed, she remembered that Yang Chunyan had already given birth to a son, but she was not sure whether her baby was a boy or a girl. Thinking of this, she remembered taking the pulse.

"Mom, the Yang family will come to send off the baby in a few days. Can you help me put in a good word in front of Chunyan and ask Uncle Yang to help me feel my pulse and see if this baby is a boy or a girl?"

"So what if we see whether it's a boy or a girl?" Zhou's mother looked at her unhappily. "I told you years ago to make up your mind. Why did you agree to it?"

Li Qiuyue lowered her head and dared not look at her. "I, I'm just afraid that in the future, my three sisters-in-law will all have sons, but I won't. The villagers will gossip about me."

Country people are like this. If a family doesn’t have a son, they will call you a "childless person" when you have an argument, saying that you didn’t do good deeds in your previous life and that’s why you are a childless person in this life.

In the old society, once the male head of a family without a son passed away, the women in the family would be "eaten away" by their own clansmen.

Even though the deceased was their relative, they were not sad at all. Instead, they had already started planning how to divide the property of this orphan and widow.

As soon as the person here is buried, the relatives who have lost their entire family come to the house to make some money.

All the valuable things in the house, such as land and real estate, would be divided up, even the pots, pans, and utensils would be included. What's even more outrageous is that even the women in the family would be sold to share the money.

"It's not that you can't give birth, it's those people who won't allow you to have a baby." Zhou's mother looked at her and said unhappily, "Mrs. Ye has a son, right? She gave birth to two sons, but people still criticized her."

"You want to keep it secret, but that's impossible! People are born to be told about it. The emperor in the old days could kill anyone he wanted, but people still criticized him anyway."

After hearing this, Li Qiuyue thought about it and realized it was true. Just like now, those high-ranking people at the top are still being cursed!

Zhou's mother advised earnestly: "As the old saying goes, if it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. If this baby is really a girl, it is destined for you and the third child. As a person, you must learn to accept your fate, so that you can live a good life."

She felt that even if relative Yang could really diagnose whether the baby was a boy or a girl, if this one was a girl, and she aborted it and got pregnant again, and the one that came out was another... Even an animal wouldn't do such a thing!

Li Qiuyue blinked and looked at her, "You will have a good life if you accept your fate, right?"

"Accept your fate, stop overthinking, stop comparing yourself to others, and your life will naturally get better." Zhou's mother patted her on the back, "That's how I got through life with your husband."

She thought that after marrying Zhou Dasong, as long as it involved the first wife, he would be a good guy no matter what happened. If they lived together without splitting up, they would suffer, and if they split up, they would still suffer...

Li Qiuyue remembered that her father-in-law was a good man. He suffered a lot when he separated from the eldest wife. If her mother-in-law didn't accept her fate, the two old people would definitely not live a peaceful life...

She lowered her head and thought for a long time, then looked up at Zhou's mother, "Then don't tell Chunyan. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, it's the lives of me and the third brother!"

Mother Zhou nodded with relief, "That's the right way to think. Your grandfather, old man, and mother don't mind you. If someone dares to say something against you, spit in his face! I will spit in his face too!"

She thought of other mothers-in-law who either scolded or beat their daughters-in-law. As a mother-in-law, although she didn't treat her daughters-in-law as her own daughters, she was doing them justice.

After hearing this, Li Qiuyue smiled and took her arm, "Thank you, Mom! If anyone dares to say that, I will spit at him!"

"Okay!" Zhou's mother stood up and said, "You stay at home. I'll go back and take some time to ask your uncle Daqing about the forest farm!"

Li Qiuyue also stood up and said, "I'll take you out!"

"No, just close the gate to prevent anyone from coming in."

"Hey!" After Li Qiuyue sent her out, she closed the gate and went back to continue planting those onions.

Maybe what Zhou's mother said really woke her up, and she seemed to move more lightly.

Zhou's mother went back to Yang Chunyan's house. When she entered the room, she saw Yang Chunyan leaning against the bed and holding the child. "Did your sister-in-law bring you the chicken?"

Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "I ate it! The chicken was a little fat, so I asked her to skim off the fat. I was afraid that if the chicken was too oily, it would be bad for the child!"

She finally understood why Zhou Yumei had been eating secretly during her confinement. Nothing without salt or flavor, even chicken soup, was as delicious as vegetables dipped in water.

Mother Zhou nodded, smiled and took the child from her hands and placed him beside her, "Mom knows you are very fond of Little Jiuer after you just gave birth to him, but don't hold the baby in your arms often when he sleeps. Once he gets used to being held in your arms while sleeping, he won't be able to sleep without the bed anymore."

Yang Chunyan remembered what her father had said, that you should love your children from the heart, and nodded, "I'll remember that."

Seeing that she was still sitting, Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Your bones are still loose after giving birth. You should lie down and sleep quickly, otherwise you will have back pain from sitting for a long time when you are old."

"Okay!" Yang Chunyan lay down obediently.

Mother Zhou took the quilt and put it at her feet. "I just went to your third sister-in-law's place. She wants to hide in the forest for a few months. I plan to go talk to your uncle Daqing later."

"If we go to Uncle Daqing and tell him about this, he will definitely agree to let our third sister-in-law go to his place to hide." Yang Chunyan paused, "In fact, Huai'an also asked Yiding indirectly, and he said that the workers from the forest farm have to stay there when they come to pull wood or cut trees."

"Mom, think about it, Third Sister-in-law won't live in the forest farm for ten days or half a month, she'll have to live there for several months! If the workers find out that she's hiding there to give birth, she and Uncle Daqing will be in trouble."

Zhou's mother understood immediately after hearing this, "You are right! If we are so strict now and someone finds out, Daqing's work will probably be cancelled by the higher-ups. If that happens, we can't bear the responsibility!"

Yang Chunyan: "Huaian and I were also worried about this, so we never mentioned it to Yiding."

"Of course you can't bring it up. Your uncle Daqing is going to get his pension soon."

Mother Zhou felt a headache when she thought of Li Qiuyue's belly. "But your sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger day by day. If she doesn't go out and hide, it's only a matter of time before she's discovered! If that happens, adults and children will suffer."

She looked at Yang Chunyan with a worried look on her face. "Originally, I was planning to send her to your uncle's place, but your aunt is fine when she's happy, but she doesn't care when she's angry. I don't dare to look for them. I don't dare to look for unreliable people for this kind of thing. Yan'er, help me think of a solution!"

Li Qiuyue's behavior during this period made her feel a little disappointed. If it were in the past, she would have lent her the yard without hesitation, but now...

Yang Chunyan thought about it and felt that it would be better to discuss it with Zhou Huaian first. "Mom, I will discuss it with Huaian when he comes back to see if we can find a more appropriate solution."

Zhou's mother nodded, "The youngest is very smart. Let him think about it and he will definitely come up with a good idea!" (End of this chapter)
