Chapter 68 I'm Pregnant

Lin Xiangnan cleared his throat awkwardly, "I'm Lin Xiangdong's sister, who are you?"

Hearing this answer, the woman at the door breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm Sun Xiaodie. Xiangdong should have mentioned me to you."

She strode to the bedside and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay? I was asking for directions on the street, and a kind old man told me that you were in the hospital, so I came straight over."

There are always enthusiastic spectators everywhere.

Hu Meili was also embarrassed and said coldly, "No, don't call me mom, just call me auntie."

Hearing this, the smile on Sun Xiaodie's face froze instantly and she looked a little aggrieved.

Before meeting her, Lin Xiangdong's partner was a stranger, someone who had never appeared in Hu Meili's world.

She doesn't care at all about the future of someone who has nothing to do with her.

Hu Meili knew that if Lin Xiangdong returned to the city, Sun Xiaodie would not be able to live well even if she remarried. But she still insisted because she didn't want to give her son's future to a stranger for no reason.

After Sun Xiaodie appeared, this person became concrete.

There is a difference between cheating someone in person and cheating someone behind their back.

Hu Meili gritted her teeth and ordered Lin Xiangnan, "Go find your elder brother for me. I have something to say to Xiaodie."

Lin Xiangnan secretly patted Hu Meili's hand: Don't go too far! Be careful that Big Brother will come back and get angry with you!

Hu Meili slapped Lin Xiangnan's hand away with a 'slap' sound, and urged him disdainfully: "Just go if I tell you to go, why are you dawdling?"

"Just go. Why are you rushing me?" Lin Xiangnan curled his lips, put down the bowl, and trotted out to look for someone.

She found Lin Xiangdong queuing for hot water in the water room.

"Sun Xiaodie is here. Mom is talking to her alone. You should go and save her."

"It's okay, just finish filling this bottle of boiled water first." Although Lin Xiangdong was anxious, he still said, "Mom and Xiaodie have never had any contact. It would be good to let them have more contact now."

"Aren't you afraid that they will fight?"

"Xiaodie doesn't dare to hit mom, and mom won't jump up from the hospital bed to hit anyone. At most, we'll just have a few words, which can help improve our relationship."

Lin Xiangdong actually waited until the thermos was filled with boiling water before he walked back.

This is really an overly steady and slow person.

No wonder Hu Meili pressed him for four days but Lin Xiangdong showed no reaction.

He apologized sincerely every time but refused to repent, leaving Hu Meili helpless.

He was not in a hurry, so Lin Xiangnan was not in a hurry either.

"You really don't plan to go back to the city?"

"Who doesn't want to go back to the city? But isn't there anything we can do now?"

Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, "You and Sun Xiaodie are both young. There is no need to rush. You can plan slowly after returning to the city. Mom is just crying and making a fuss. She doesn't dare to really hang herself. She is definitely not as stubborn as you."

"Mom doesn't like me to marry a country woman, let alone one from another rural area. What's more, our family's financial situation really doesn't allow Xiaodie to stay in the city."

Lin Xiangdong said helplessly: "I agreed to my mother's request to return to the city this time. When I get married, if I don't listen to her arrangements, my mother will have a heart attack again. Why bother?"

Hu Meili can really do this.

After being together for so long, Lin Xiangnan has seen through it. Hu Meili just doesn't know how to quit while she's ahead.

If you don't reject her unreasonable demands, she will continue to be unreasonable.

The first trick to getting along with Hu Meili is to learn to say no.

Lin Xiangdong also knew his own mother's character, so he insisted on not giving in.

He felt that he might make Hu Meili faint from anger, but Hu Meili definitely did not have a heart disease, so although he was anxious these days, he was not that anxious.

Lin Xiangnan is one of the people who have already gone ashore and stayed in the city.

Lin Xiangdong himself didn't care whether he stayed in the city or not, so she didn't care either. "I really want to see who will win between you and mom in this situation."

The two returned to the outside of the ward, but did not rush to push the door open. Instead, they stood outside the room and eavesdropped calmly.

"Xiangdong had a fever and fainted in the field. I carried him to the hospital. You have been working in the city and may not know how hard it is during the busy farming season. Xiangdong had just come to the team as an educated youth and was not good at farm work. It was my eldest brother who helped him..."

After noticing that Hu Meili's attitude was not right, Sun Xiaodie did not take the initiative to be the good daughter-in-law, but instead talked about her past with Lin Xiangdong.

There is gratitude, affection, and sharing of weal and woe.

Hu Meili works to earn money alone, and her two children are still in school. How much money and food coupons can she squeeze out to support her eldest son?

Most of the time, Lin Xiangdong had to earn work points in exchange for food rations.

It would be fine if Hu Meili was really a native city dweller.

But she also grew up in the countryside, and had to help with housework at the age of seven or eight. It was not until she moved to the city in her teens that her life became easier.

It was precisely because of her experience that she wanted to escape from rural life more than anyone else, and she felt more sorry for the years that Lin Xiangdong spent in the countryside.

Sun Xiaodie just mentioned it slightly and Hu Meili's eyes turned red.

"If life in the country wasn't hard, would I be in such a hurry to get my son back to the city?"

"We can't marry a rural woman. We don't have the conditions, and we can't afford the high-priced grain."

"If you really like him, just let him go. If you keep him around now and waste his time, he will only blame you for the rest of his life."

"I know I'm sorry for what I did to you. Just ask me, and I'll compensate you even if I have to sell everything I have."

A one-time compensation is just a temporary loss of money.

But if I marry Sun Xiaodie, it would be like cutting a wound on my body, which would keep bleeding until the blood runs dry.

Nowadays, men from the city who go to the countryside to find wives all have some problems. No city girls are willing to marry them, otherwise they will not settle.

Lin Xiangdong is good-looking and has a good temper. It's not like he can't find a wife. He shouldn't marry a country woman and bring burden to the family.

Hu Meili's decisive attitude also annoyed Sun Xiaodie.

"Aunt, you may not know that my father is the brigade secretary, and my third grandfather is the commune secretary. Xiangdong's organizational relationship is still with us. If the commune blocks him, he can't leave."

Hu Meili was madly criticizing Lin Xiangdong in her heart, but she said calmly, "It depends on who can drag the other out. There are so many commune cadres. Do you really think you have the final say in your family?"

Just when Hu Meili thought that Sun Xiaodie was going to continue to confront her, Sun Xiaodie gave in.

"Yes, Xiangdong is a man, I can't hold him back." Sun Xiaodie touched her belly and said gently, "But I'm pregnant now. I don't believe Xiangdong will really abandon me and the child."

"If Xiangdong really doesn't want us anymore, then I'll accept it. I'll just think that I was blind and made a mistake in choosing the right person."

Hu Meili put on a mask of pain on her face and felt overwhelmed.

What you fear will come true.
