Even if Ningxia thought something she said was wrong and refuted it, she didn't get angry.
He listened to Ningxia carefully and nodded secretly.
"Who is it in your family, your mother or your mother-in-law?" Ningxia asked when she saw her being so talkative.
"My mother-in-law." When Yan Zi heard her ask this, she obviously didn't want to say more.
Seeing her like this, Ningxia didn't know how she got along with her mother-in-law. It was obvious that her mother-in-law was not an easy person to deal with.
When Yan Zi returned home, her mother-in-law hurried to greet her.
"How is it? Did you find out anything? What's the background of that family? What does her husband do for a living?"
Mrs. Ma's eyes lit up. She lay on the courtyard wall and listened, but the man had built the wall very high and thick.
She knew someone was talking, but she didn't hear a word.
"She didn't say anything, just chatted for a while." Yan Zi had no intention of telling her mother-in-law, as her mother-in-law would definitely be plotting something.
"You didn't say anything? Then what have you been doing there for so long?" Mrs. Ma was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
"It's just a casual chat! What can I do if they don't tell me what I want to do?" Swallow replied weakly.
Mrs. Ma was very angry, but seeing her daughter-in-law's big belly, she couldn't do anything to her, otherwise her son would fight with her when he came back.
"Go again tomorrow." Mrs. Ma thought that if she went a few more times, she would be able to find out something.
"Oh." Yan Zi nodded. It was better to chat with Ningxia than to stay at home with her mother-in-law, so she agreed readily.
Ren Jingxiao came home very early from get off work today. He almost rode his bike to the Heishan Brigade. It took him a long time to react.
Living in the county town is much more convenient. He can get home in a short ride, and he can sleep an extra hour in the morning.
"Xia Xia, why are you so happy? What happened?" Ren Jingxiao came home and saw Ningxia making clothes.
He knew it was his godfather's at first glance. Why was he so happy about making clothes?
"I was chatting with my neighbor today about her baby. She said the baby would start moving around four months old, and we also talked about a lot of other things about the baby."
Ningxia told Ren Jingxiao what happened today with a happy smile.
Compared to the children, Ren Jingxiao prefers to see her smiling happily.
"It seems that the family is not all bad." Ren Jingxiao parked the car.
I thought about what the drivers of the transport team said, that the people living here all have good jobs.
But he thought that the old woman looked no different from those people from the Black Mountain Brigade. He wondered what the other families here were like.
"She's okay, but her mother-in-law is probably a difficult one." Ningxia replied casually, then got up to prepare dinner.
"By the way, I went to ask about the coal balls today. They need tickets, and we don't seem to have any."
When Ren Jingxiao thought about this, he wondered whether he should go to the black market to have a look.
They didn't need much. He had prepared firewood for the captain before coming, and also put a lot in Xia Xia's pocket.
When Xia Xia has nothing to do, she can pick up some money from her pocket, which is enough for them.
"Then we won't buy it for now. Let's go back and ask Godfather. You're not familiar with the black market here, so let's not go there yet."
Ningxia knew at a glance that he was thinking of going to the black market.
The entire black market in Heilongjiang Province is controlled by the godfather. They have just arrived and don’t understand the situation, so they’d better not accidentally enter, otherwise they will bring trouble to the godfather.
"I'll call my godfather tomorrow to ask." Ren Jingxiao knew what Ningxia was worried about.
He was busy practicing on the road today. He would be driving soon, and he wanted to be more stable, so he asked Master Chen to go outside to practice.
"Okay, ask my godfather who the contact person is." Ningxia put down the work in her hands and prepared to cook.
"Why don't you bring your own lunch starting tomorrow?" Ningxia thought about moving here too so he wouldn't have to get up so early.
She cooked meals every night and put them in the space so that he could take them away the next morning.
Ren Jingxiao nodded in agreement. It would be more convenient for him to bring his own lunch when he drove out. After parking the car, he went to help Ningxia.
Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao were cooking, and the girl next door also started cooking because her eldest son was back.
"Son, are you tired from work? I'll make you a meat dish. Do you want it stewed or fried?" Mrs. Ma asked her eldest son about his well-being.
"Where did the meat come from? Haven't I finished eating the meat I bought yesterday?" Ma Desheng asked his wife.
"Mother..."
"We don't eat much at home, and there's some left. I'll save it and fry it today." Seeing that her daughter-in-law was about to speak, Mrs. Ma spoke quickly.
Her son brought back about five pounds of meat. She secretly cut half of it and gave it to her youngest son's family, and prepared the rest for today's meal.
Her eldest son asked her to nourish her daughter-in-law. What kind of nourishment should she receive? She doesn't work and is resting at home, so she needs nourishment. She has everything she needs.
Yan Zi saw her mother-in-law glaring at her secretly, and she didn't dare say anything.
"Mom, I told you, we can't save on this meat. You cooked it all at home during the day, and Yan Zi is pregnant!"
"The doctor told her to eat well. She's too thin. She needs to eat well to replenish herself, otherwise she won't have the strength to give birth."
Seeing his mother like this, Ma Desheng knew that they must not have eaten at home during the day. His wife's belly was particularly big, but she was getting thinner and thinner.
His mother said that the good things she ate were absorbed by the child, which was a good thing, because the child born this way would be strong and healthy.
But the more he looked at it, the more scared he felt. This was his first child, and he didn't know if this was normal.
The doctor always said that his wife was thin and told her to eat good food. He bought a lot of food and every time he asked his wife, she said she had eaten.
But even after eating so much, the condition remained the same, so he thought about going to the hospital to ask.
"Then keep it for tomorrow morning to burn." She said this, thinking in her heart that she would give it to her youngest son tomorrow.
Her youngest son's family is having a hard time. She doesn't know how long it will take before they can have meat.
Her two little grandsons were so thin from hunger that Yan Zi was very disappointed to hear her mother-in-law say this.
She thought it was cooked at night, so she could get some of it!
Needless to say, her mother-in-law won't burn it during the day tomorrow, and she will definitely send it to her brother-in-law's house again.
And all the good things her husband bought were either eaten by her mother-in-law or given to her brother-in-law's family.
Yan Zi didn't know what to do. If she told the truth to her husband, he would get angry and would drive her mother away.
Her mother-in-law will say that she is a troublemaker, and the neighbors will point fingers at their family again.
If this unfilial act were to spread to the factory, both her husband and herself might lose their jobs. Yan Zi was secretly worried.
Everyone fell asleep at night, but on the other side of the county town, two bodies were entangled with each other.
"Be gentle, what if my brother finds out?"
"Your brother drank and slept like a dead man!"
The night is always so wonderful!
