The Zhou family had a very lavish dinner that evening, and Huang Zheyue finally got to see what the "exceptionally delicious roast meat" Zhou Miao had mentioned tasted like.
The meat was grilled on a clean iron mesh grill on the stove. The pork belly sizzled and dripped oil. Zhou Mingli simply sprinkled a layer of his own dry seasoning on top, and the aroma was so enticing that Huang Zheyue couldn't take her eyes off it.
Half a pound of pork belly, a plate of cumin-flavored lamb, and other side dishes were all eaten up by the five people.
Jiang Ci was too full to sleep, so she and Zhou Mingli took the three children downstairs for a walk to digest their food.
On this freezing day, most people stay indoors to keep warm, but this family is in high spirits and has used the unmelted snow downstairs to build several snowmen.
The sound of Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao giggling attracted many people to open their windows to see what was happening downstairs.
"This week, the couple didn't have much time to take care of the child during the day because they were at work, but they still made sure to take the child out to play in the evening."
"That's right. You know, it seems good for two working people, but if there's no elderly person at home, there's no one to take care of the children! If it weren't for Huang Zheyue, Zhou Mingli, and Comrade Jiang, we'd be completely helpless."
"Who can argue with that?"
This is the opinion of kind-hearted people.
As for those with bad intentions, upon seeing Jiang Ci, Zhou Mingli, and their two children, their resentment surged immediately.
"Still not sleeping at night, freezing outside! They must be bored out of their minds."
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! Why didn't Grandma sell these two little rascals? They'd save my ears from all this noise!"
These words were spoken by Bai Hua.
She was more than a month pregnant and was experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. She felt nauseous whenever she smelled cooking oil, but she still had to cook for her husband, Fuqiang, and son. So she could only dry heave while cooking in the kitchen.
Fu Qiang heard her commotion and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he pretended not to hear her distress and didn't respond to Bai Hua's words at all.
He stood by the window, looking down at the building, his eyes cold and calculating.
After Baihua finished cooking, Fuqiang went over and said with heartache, "You've really worked hard. Seeing you pregnant and still cooking for me and the baby, it really breaks my heart."
Bai Hua beamed with joy, "What's the big deal? I'd be happy to cook for you and the kids."
Fuqiang smiled and said, "After you give birth to this child, we'll take a break and get your bodies back in shape."
He also wanted to find wealthy families without children, hoping to make a big profit.
Baihua, unaware of her husband's thoughts, assumed it was just him being affectionate, and smiled sweetly, saying, "I know~"
It's getting warmer outside, and many children are clamoring to go downstairs to play. Sure enough, there are many children and adults downstairs building snowmen and playing.
"Mom and Dad, I want to go out and play too! Let's go downstairs and build a snowman! Otherwise, all the good snow will be taken away!" This is what Fuqiang and Baihua's child said.
"Your father isn't in good health, and I'm pregnant. How can I find the time to go downstairs and play with you?" Bai Hua refused directly. "Be good, let's get some sleep. When Mom gets her salary, she'll buy you something to eat, okay?"
The child didn't understand anything; he just kept insisting on going downstairs to play.
Fuqiang slammed his chopsticks down and looked at his son.
The son immediately stopped what he was doing, shrank back, lowered his head, and stopped fussing about going downstairs to play in the snow.
Fuqiang, "Eat."
After dinner, he sent the children back to their room, and Fuqiang, holding Baihua's hand, began to make plans in a low voice.
"Next time you see that man, ask him to do something for you."
Bai Hua looked puzzled, then heard Fu Qiang continue, "Tell him to take Jiang Ci to a place with lots of troublesome educated youth, strip her naked, and then run away."
Bai Hua's eyes widened in shock. "W-W-Will this work?"
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Fuqiang pointed to her stomach. “You’re pregnant with a boy. What’s wrong with him doing something for his son’s mother?”
"I just asked him to get rid of Jiang Ci, I didn't ask him to do anything bad, there won't be any problems."
Bai Hua felt uneasy, but then she turned to look downstairs.
Seeing that Jiang Ci was in high spirits and had built a snowman, she seemed to feel her hands getting cold, so she put her hands in Zhou Mingli's hands.
Zhou Mingli took the opportunity to put her hand into his clothes, and the two smiled at each other.
The excessively happy and blissful scene made Bai Hua's eyes redden.
It's not that she thinks there's anything wrong with Fuqiang.
But Fuqiang is in poor health; his body is always cold. Let alone warming his hands, they haven't even had a marital relationship in recent years because they've been busy making money.
Seeing such a loving couple, who don't have to worry about money and live happily together, how could Bai Hua not be jealous!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
Fuqiang then carefully explained to her what to do and how to tell the father of the child in her womb.
Bai Hua carefully noted down everything.
The couple had planned things carefully, but little did they know that Zhou Mingli was also watching them.
From the moment Fuqiang's mother started plotting against their family, Zhou Mingli never intended to let them go.
He gets off work early, and after he finishes shopping for New Year's goods, he'll keep an eye on this family.
Sometimes Huang Zheyue would keep an eye on things, and then come back to tell him the situation.
Fuqiang, a man who rarely leaves his home, is different from Baihua, who always goes to work. She is pregnant, and her job is relatively easy.
But Bai Hua is not idle after get off work. She has to pick up her child, buy things to prepare for the New Year, cook for her husband and child at home, and wash and tidy up the clothes that have been changed at home by herself.
