Sun Gang felt wronged, but he didn't dare to say anything. He picked up the chopsticks, wiped them with his hands, and then ate two mouthfuls of rice, turning his grief and anger into appetite.

He just didn't understand why he was scolded for saying something with good intentions.

With her brother as a "role model", Duan Qinya was afraid that her daughter would also get stuck in a rut.

"Miaomiao, pregnancy is a matter of fate. Some people's fate comes early, while others come late..."

Raising his hand to stop his mother's various attempts at persuasion, Sun Miao smiled freely: "Mom, have you forgotten that Chen Zhi had previously tried to sow discord between Li Xuan and me, saying that if Li Xuan got pregnant, I would definitely harm her."

Duan Qinya: "She's talking nonsense!"

"It's just nonsense." Sun Miao smiled bitterly, "But it makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Put yourself in her shoes. If I were Li Xuan, I would definitely be skeptical if Chen Zhi said that to me."

This is all exaggeration.

With her easily influenced personality, to put it bluntly, after Shen Zhi's instigation, she might start to be on guard against her sister-in-law, or she might cooperate with Shen Zhi to deal with her sister-in-law for the sake of so-called self-protection.

But Su Lixuan is not like that.

Su Lixuan trusts her more than she trusts herself.

Sun Miao: "I will never forget what Li Xuan said at that time. She said I was not that kind of person and she believed in my character."

Even now, when Sun Miao thinks of those firm words Su Lixuan said in favor of her, he can't help but burst into tears.

"Li Xuan trusts me. No matter how petty I am, I won't be so mean as to betray Li Xuan's trust in me."

Even if she was destined to have no children in this life, she would never allow herself to become the kind of person that Shen Zhi described.

She was jealous of her sister-in-law and wanted to adopt her child.

She wasn't that confused yet.

Wiping his face, Sun Miao's expression was devoid of any gloom. "When I first heard that Li Xuan was pregnant, to be honest, I felt bad, but it wasn't jealousy. It was like Mom said, I felt bad that my fate of having children came so late."

"But after the discomfort..."

She raised her head and said, "I'll be back soon to announce the good news!"

"It's been a long time since we had such a good thing. My mother-in-law means we should celebrate it properly."

"and……"

She lowered her voice mysteriously, "My mother-in-law told me secretly that there was a saying that was circulated in her hometown."

"If a childless couple wants to have children, having a child at home can bring them the luck of having children."

Sun Miao scratched her hair, not sure if she had explained it clearly, but this was what her mother-in-law told her.

Even if it's just to comfort her, she should have some hope in her heart, right?

It was the first time that Duan Qinya heard such a statement. She turned around and looked at Sun Qizhi inquiringly.

Sun Qizhi nodded: "I also heard this from my grandma when I was a child."

However, not many people mentioned the crackdown on feudal superstition later.

Sun Miao's eyes widened. "Really? I thought my mother-in-law said that to comfort me."

Now that her father has heard it, she is even more confident!

Following her brother's example, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "That's all. I'm leaving now."

"Let's go?" The Sun couple looked at each other.

Sun Qizhi: "Didn't you just get back? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Duan Qinya also advised: "Stay overnight. Tomorrow, I'll buy some malted milk and go back to your in-laws' house with you. Nutrition is the most important thing for Li Xuan in the early stages of her pregnancy. She needs to make up for it."

Sun Miao kept walking, with all his might, and waved his hands anxiously with his back to his family.

"I have to go now. I have to go to the market and pick out some pig's trotters while it's still early."

Her voice grew increasingly distant as she muttered, "I saw my sister-in-law vomit everything she ate during her pregnancy, and she became completely unrecognizable. Li Xuan is already thin, and if she doesn't gain some weight while she's in good shape now, how will she survive when morning sickness starts..."

Duan Qinya: "..." Why does she feel that Su Lixuan cares more about her daughter being pregnant than Li Yanhong?

Who is the old woman?

This is what she thought in her heart, and she couldn't help but say it out loud.

Then she heard her stupid son smack his lips and say, "Haven't you heard that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother? Miaomiao is now the second old lady to her sisters-in-law."

Duan Qinya: "...Eat your meal!"

None of his words make sense.

Sun Gang: "I'm done eating."

Not only did he finish the meal, but he also understood what his family members said after hearing about it.

It turns out that her sister is a good sister-in-law, not what he thought at all.

Duan Qinya said angrily: "Let's go after we finish eating."

Just go!

Sun Gang snorted and went to buy some pig's trotters as well. He wanted to nourish himself a little so that he wouldn't have to stay at home all day without being loved by his parents.

At this moment, Lin Zhan, who was far away in the slum, had the same feeling as Sun Gang.

Ever since he brought home the news that his wife was pregnant... he has become a different person.

It's not an insult, the 'not human' here means literally.

And as time went by, he seemed to become invisible.

His sister is the one who always asks his wife if she is cold, hot, thirsty or hungry.

It was his mother who took care of three meals a day and snacks.

Even his sister-in-law rolled her eyes at him before leaving in the morning and warned him to behave himself outside and not to worry Li Xuan.

Let’s put it this way, now at home, Lin Zhan has no place to stand.

If he dared to stand in front of his wife, his mother would have been willing to pull him away, fearing that his large stature would block the sunlight from shining on Li Xuan...

Li Yanhong: "Sunbathing is good. It can supplement calcium."

Not only did she say this, she also moved a recliner to the yard, put it on a thick cushion, and motioned Su Lixuan to rest there.

After settling the people down, she did not forget to make a cup of warm and sweet brown sugar water for her second daughter-in-law.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and after completing the whole process, Su Lixuan not only did not feel cold, but felt warm from the inside out.

Zhang Guifang happened to see this scene when she came out, and said sarcastically, "Yanhong, are you serving me?"

Li Yanhong treated her words as if they were bullshit: "I'm serving my ancestors, what does it have to do with you? And you want to get involved in everything you see."

The latter sneered, disdainful of his old rival who was becoming increasingly doomed.

"Li Yanhong, where did that energy you used to have for not pampering your daughter-in-law go? She's become even more rebellious now."

"In other families, the daughter-in-law serves the old woman, but in your case, the status is reversed."

"You, an old woman, are so devoted to serving your daughter-in-law that it's hard to be laughed at."

The more she talked, the more excited Li Yanhong became.

As if deliberately going against her, he stopped doing other things and simply moved a stool to sit next to his daughter-in-law and started peeling peanuts for Su Lixuan.

Not only did he peel it, but he also helped her feed it to her mouth. Zhang Guifang was neither angry nor amused by what she saw.
