Chapter 102 makes it sound like I'm some kind of secret lover.
Aside from Zhou Congsheng, Zhao Yue was the happiest person about Shen Yuzhu's pregnancy. She hadn't expected to become an aunt so soon.
"Sister-in-law, you have to walk very quietly now. You can't run, jump, or lift heavy things. If there's anything you need, just let my brother do it. If you don't like the food in the cafeteria, let my brother cook for you in the morning, and you can take it to the translation office for lunch, okay!"
Ren Baobei: "You seem to have a lot of experience, don't you?"
“When I was in the countryside, I saw many pregnant women and older women, and that’s what they all told me.”
Of course, she'd end with, "Give me a healthy baby boy, and you'll have your share of good times." She wouldn't say something like that to her sister-in-law.
Ren Baobei sized up Zhao Yue and thought that this girl hadn't quite figured things out yet, and her brother might not be Zhao Yue's type, so it was probably hopeless!
"What kind of look is that?"
"I think if you get pregnant in the future, you'll definitely be a good mother."
Zhao Yue blushed slightly, but after thinking about her words, she nodded after a long while, "I definitely will."
Ren Baobei: "......."
You're getting all worked up just because I called you fat!
Zhou Congsheng was impatient with their chatter in front of Shen Yuzhu, so he chased them away soon after.
The news that they had a child spread quickly in the family compound, and when the sister-in-law came to visit carrying gifts, there was almost no room to stand in the small courtyard.
Zhou Congsheng's face was extremely dark. A baby who is only one month old is most vulnerable to being startled. He thought it must have been Ren Baobei's big mouth that told the story.
Zhao Yue is usually unreliable, but she knows what's important and would never easily reveal something like this.
"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous. You're making me anxious too. Now that everyone here knows, you should call your parents to tell them."
"Okay, I'll call them later."
Looking at the gifts piled on the living room sofa, Zhou Congsheng took a notebook and started registering them. He returned the valuables, but the eggs and brown sugar were gone. After registering them, he asked Song Biao to take the notebook to the leader.
It's best to prepare for some things in advance, so that no one gets jealous and spreads bad rumors, causing misunderstandings.
When Shen Yuming learned that she was pregnant, he quickly came to the military base with Liang Manxiu and the child.
Holding her hand, I was incredibly nervous. Childbirth is like stepping into the gates of hell with one foot in it. She had given birth herself and had almost forgotten how difficult it was.
But now it was Shen Yuzhu's turn, and those nightmares from her pregnancy suddenly appeared clearly in her mind.
"The Zhou family has only ever had one son. Did Aunt Chu and Uncle Zhou say anything about this pregnancy?"
"Sister, don't worry. The Zhou family isn't the kind of family that favors boys over girls. They're easygoing about the children; as long as they're safe and sound, that's all that matters."
"That's good, that's good. Now that you're pregnant, you need someone to take care of you!"
"No need. My baby will take me to work from the moment I give birth. We work at the same company and the baby takes good care of me. Besides, I'm still in my early stages of pregnancy, so I don't need many people to take care of me. Don't worry."
That's what they say, but if we wait until the pregnancy is further along, it might be harder to find someone.
“How about we let Sister Guo take care of you when you’re five months pregnant? She’s very thoughtful and a great cook. I’ll feel more at ease having her take care of you. I’ll pay for it. Don’t argue with me about this.”
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Shen Yuzhu nodded subconsciously.
"That's good. I'll talk to her when I get back."
As Liang Manxiu watched the two sisters talk, she scanned the room and, finding nothing that might be harmful to the pregnant woman, felt relieved.
Although they cooked some food at noon, Shen Yuming and the others went back after eating.
The children hadn't seen their aunt for a long time and were very reluctant to part with her. Only after Shen Yuzhu said that her uncle would pick them up next time did the crying children calm down.
Two weeks later, Shen Yuzhu was going to the hospital for a follow-up examination, and Zhou Congsheng happened to be free, so he came to the county hospital with her.
The test results were good, and the young couple were relieved.
After having a meal at the state-run restaurant, Zhou Congsheng, who was going to the post office to make a phone call, took her to the supply and marketing cooperative to talk to Liang Manxiu.
Lu Jianshe was already waiting there, and couldn't help but tease her a couple of times when he saw her.
"People who are married are different; they look radiant."
"Alright, what do you want from me?"
Lu Jianshe rolled his eyes, thinking that she was really forgetful. She was the one who wanted to expand the voice beyond the province, and now she was the one who had no voice.
"I've found someone to sell the goods outside. He's very reliable and has promised to give half gold and half Chinese currency for each transaction. What do you think?"
Shen Yuzhu opened her mouth, then remembered that there was such a thing. No wonder Lu Jianshe looked at her with such disdain.
"Ahem... That's good, sure. But first, find me a secluded place to store the goods. Have Manxiu tell me the address later, and I'll write to my friend to let him know. From now on, all the goods will be stored there. After it's stored, have Manxiu send you a message."
"Just contact me directly, that will save you from having to run around in the army, and besides... you're not feeling very well right now."
Shen Yuzhu: "...He doesn't trust anyone else, so he can only go through me."
Upon hearing this, Lü Jianshe's eyes widened instantly. Did he not trust him?
Don't you trust him to have been in business for so long? Don't you trust him to still ask him to find partners from other provinces? Don't you trust him to still order him around?
Is he out of his mind?
"Alright, go ahead and do your thing. Cong Sheng will come pick me up in a bit. It's not good for me to hear about these things."
"You make it sound like I'm some kind of shameful lover, humph!"
Shen Yuzhu: "......"
It seems like you, Comrade Lü Jianshe, are the one with a mental problem!
After he left, Liang Manxiu emerged from the shadows. She had heard their conversation clearly, but when she came to find Shen Yuzhu, she didn't ask her a single question.
The things Shen Yuzhu was going to do had nothing to do with her; all she knew was that Shen Yuzhu was good to her.
As for what might happen in the future... don't worry, we still have her. Her life is the only thing of value she has. Just make sure Yuzhu is well.
Seeing that she didn't ask, Shen Yuzhu didn't explain either.
When Zhou Congsheng arrived, Shen Yuzhu had already bought the things, which were mostly daily necessities and nutritional supplements.
"Are you done?"
"Okay, we can go back now. Manxiu, I think the weather is bad today. Why don't you stay at my sister's instead of going back to the production team?"
"Don't worry, I'll see if I know anyone in the production team and have them pass on a message to Wang Shu so she won't have to wait for me to eat."
The two chatted and laughed, exchanging some messages.
