Lin Zhaoyue's discomfort in early pregnancy gradually became apparent. At first, she was just prone to drowsiness, but one day she suddenly became nauseous. She felt a tightness in her chest all day long, couldn't eat anything, and felt like vomiting at the sight of anything, especially greasy food, which she couldn't even bear to hear.

I only feel comfortable after falling asleep at night.

Jiang Jingzhou dared not disturb her sleep, and did everything very quietly.

That night, after keeping Lin Zhaoyue asleep, Jiang Jingzhou quietly slipped out the door.

He raised his hand and knocked on his parents' door. Jiang Guofu's annoyed voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"Dad, are you two asleep? If you're not asleep, open the door for me!"

"..." Jiang Guofu went over to open the door for him with a lot of resentment, "What can't you wait until tomorrow to talk about it? Neither your mother nor I have good sleep quality. If you wake us up like this, we probably won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night."

"I have to go to the military region tomorrow, so I might not be available."

As Jiang Jingzhou spoke, he first asked his mother about Zhao Yue's morning sickness, "Why does she seem to be vomiting more and more lately? Do we really not need to go to the hospital for a check-up? I'm still a little worried. How about we go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow? We'll be relieved if the doctor says everything is fine."

"Although I'm not a doctor, I've been there. Who doesn't vomit during pregnancy?"

If there are such people, it only means that there are very few of them!

"Don't worry, Zhaoyue's condition is actually the mildest. There are even more severe cases where people vomit bile all day long. I vomited like that when I was pregnant with you."

Hua Xiuyun reassured him that he was not feeling well, as she was making such a fuss.

Morning sickness indicates that the baby is developing well, and the symptoms will naturally disappear by the fourth month of pregnancy.

The period from the fourth to the sixth month of pregnancy is relatively "comfortable".

The late stages of pregnancy are even more agonizing, with swelling, insomnia, and so on...

It's even more torturous than the morning sickness I'm experiencing now.

Hua Xiuyun yawned. "Alright, if there's nothing else, hurry up and go back to your room to rest. Didn't we say we have work tomorrow?"

Jiang Jingzhou, still not entirely reassured, asked again, "Mom, you said it yourself, is everything really alright?"

"No."

"..." Jiang Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, more or less. Seeing Zhaoyue suffering like this every day, he also felt very bad.

It's good that you're alright.

“Sons are just not as sweet as daughters…” Hua Xiuyun muttered unhappily as she watched Jiang Guofu close the door again. “If only I had been born a daughter.”

Why do you say that?

Jiang Guofu looked at Hua Xiuyun and noticed that she seemed rather downcast.

"Even your son has never cared about me this much!"

Hua Xiuyun certainly didn't intend to compete with her daughter-in-law for attention here.

Seeing how much her son cared for his wife, she, as a mother, was overjoyed.

Only when the two of them can live a good life can the family be considered happy and fulfilled.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be complete without anyone.

"Your son cares about his wife, but don't I care about you too?"

Jiang Guofu twitched his lips and put his arm around her shoulder. "I think you've just been too tired lately. What's the big deal about your daughter-in-law being pregnant? Why is the whole family making such a fuss? You weren't like this when you were pregnant. All you need to do now is relax. What could possibly happen?"

"Can they be compared? My daughter-in-law grew up without a mother, while I still have my own mother to care for me!"

Hua Xiuyun said earnestly, "I feel sorry for this child who has no mother. You have no idea what kind of person her stepmother is! She's no good at all, and Zhaoyue has suffered a lot under her all these years!"

Hua Xiuyun, of course, wanted to treat her daughter-in-law well with all her heart.

They treated her like their own daughter.

"..." Jiang Guofu had no idea what she was thinking, but now he did.

My wife is very thoughtful; she always thinks of things he wouldn't.

Jiang Guofu: "..."

——

Lin Zhaoyue couldn't eat anything in the morning, and looking at the bland porridge in the bowl, she felt even less appetite.

"Zhaoyue, this can't go on. You have to tell me what you want to eat. As long as you can think of it, Mom will try to make it for you!"

Lin Zhaoyue looked up at her mother-in-law and called out "Mom." Hua Xiuyun responded with a "Yes," indicating that she should speak.

"I want to eat my dad's handmade noodles..."

"I'll make you some hand-pulled noodles. Mine are especially delicious. What kind of sauce would you like?"

“The hand-pulled noodles my dad makes are different from the ones you make,” Lin Zhaoyue shook her head.

Hua Xiuyun understood. This daughter-in-law didn't actually want to eat hand-pulled noodles; to be precise, she wanted to see her father.

"Okay, Mom will figure something out."

Hua Xiuyun nodded, "But you should take better care of yourself now. Look in the mirror and see how bad your complexion is. If your dad sees this, he'll definitely think that your in-laws aren't treating you well! How can he be at ease?"

"mom?"

Lin Zhaoyue looked at her mother-in-law in surprise. What did she mean by that?

My dad...

“In a few days, I’ll have Jingzhou drive you back,”

As Hua Xiuyun was speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something, "No, you're in your early pregnancy now, the baby isn't settled yet, you have to wait until at least four months."

It doesn't matter if it's been a few months, but Lin Zhaoyue was surprised that she was able to go see it.

Is there anything wrong with her father's identity?

"Mom, will this have any impact on the family?"
