"Don't worry, I don't have any children either! But I'm better than you. My husband is a driver in the Ministry of Transportation, and he's our only son. Everything will be his in the future. As long as I give him a son, our future life will be fine."
"Your words are a little off, but don't be discouraged, just take your time!" Xu Jiao felt that she had found her organization, otherwise she would feel that she was no match for others in anything!
"Is there something wrong with you? What do you mean I'm just a little bit off? What's wrong with me? I'm fine, and my husband is fine too!"
Erni is a protective person. She won't allow anyone to say anything bad about her man. Her man treats her very well and there is nothing wrong with him!
"Er Ni has children, two boys, the older one is five years old." Yan Zi didn't know why Xu Jiao misunderstood, so she explained aloud.
Ningxia knew that Xu Jiao was stimulated and wanted to find balance in others, but she didn't expect that she didn't find the balance and ended up being stimulated even more.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Xu Jiao didn't want to talk anymore. No wonder the woman was so angry just now.
She must be laughing at her in her heart. They must all think that she has no children and cannot have children, so they look down on her, right?
Ningxia didn't want to care about her fragile heart. No one could help her with the child's affairs. She was looking for a sense of existence from her, but that was a mistake. Ningxia was not good at comforting her.
"Ningxia, your home is still warmer. I don't know what's going on this year. In previous years, we could always buy some coal no matter how hard it was. This year, there's none anywhere. The ones we have at home were bought when the weather just started to get cold!"
Yan Zi saw that the child was sleeping soundly, unlike at home. She wanted to save some coal, so she didn't burn charcoal during the day, and the house was cold.
"Yeah, we don't cook during the day at home, and we just keep it low at night before we go to bed. We used to have three meals a day, but to save charcoal, we've switched to two meals a day. Sigh..."
Erni talks about food every other sentence. She really feels that life is boring. She didn’t eat well before, but at least she could eat three meals a day. Now it has been reduced to two meals a day.
Yan Zi laughed when she saw her like that. She was worried that the child would be cold, but she was just thinking about eating.
"We bought it when we first moved here. It's enough for us now, but I don't know if we'll be able to buy it later. I've tried to buy it recently but haven't been able to find it yet."
Ningxia didn't say that the coal briquettes piled up in her space were enough for her to burn for two years.
She hadn't been kind enough to offer to split some between the two families. Who was better off now? She wasn't being charitable; she was just an ordinary neighbor.
"It's okay. Just wear more clothes when it's cold. I'm just worried that the child will get cold." Yan Zi also spoke to comfort Ningxia.
She is still pregnant and cannot get sick, so Yan Zi thought that she should come and sit more often in the future, so that it will be warmer in the house with more people.
"Why is it cold? It's much better this year than last year." The few of them were chatting happily, and Xu Jiao on the other side couldn't get a word in at all.
She felt that they were excluding her, probably because they looked down on her because she had no children.
"Wow..." Ningxia and the others were talking when they saw Xu Jiao crying beside them and were stunned.
"What's wrong with you?" Ningxia thought that this was her home after all, so she should say something.
"I... do you look down on me? It's all because I don't have children. My husband and my father-in-law say things about me, and you laugh at me too." Xu Jiao couldn't stop crying as she looked at the people.
Ningxia, Yan Zi and others were stunned by her words. When did they say they looked down on her?
They are not familiar with her and have no idea what to say to her. Why is this person so sensitive?
Ningxia had no choice. After all, this person came to visit. If she didn't care, he would feel very wronged.
When Gao Bowen came back, he thought they were bullying his wife!
"Xu Jiao, you're overthinking it. We were just talking about the charcoal fire at home. How did that mean we excluded you? And I certainly don't think you're being looked down upon."
"As for the child, don't feel stressed. If you don't believe me, ask Yan Zi. Didn't she get pregnant after several years? And it was twins at once. You're just overthinking it."
Ningxia looked at the man who was giving insincere advice. She really disliked such pretentious people. It was too tiring to deal with such a sensitive and suspicious person.
"Yes, I didn't get pregnant for several years after I got married. My mother-in-law scolded me all the time, especially my brother-in-law's family, who got married later than me. Not long after the marriage, they got pregnant. Not only did they give birth to a boy, but they also gave birth to another boy."
"I was never able to get pregnant. My mother-in-law was trying to stop me, both overtly and covertly. Finally, I finally got pregnant, gave birth to two daughters, and my body was damaged."
"I may not be able to have children in the future, but I won't be sad. This life is yours, don't think too much. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours cannot be forced."
In order to comfort Xu Jiao, Yan Zi even cited her own experience as an example. She is now more open-minded than anyone else.
Her mother-in-law doesn't dare to come and make trouble with her anymore, her husband is devoted to her, and her two children are very well-behaved. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
"Ah? You can't have children? Then you're really pitiful. Fortunately, I don't have a brother-in-law. My husband is the only one in the family. I don't have a mother-in-law either. Anyway, my husband has the final say in everything at home, and he treats me very well."
"Then what are you going to do with these two girls in the future? Doesn't your husband despise you? And hasn't your mother-in-law said anything?"
Xu Jiao suddenly forgot her sadness and looked at Yan Zi's face full of sympathy. Yan Zi paused.
Ningxia was speechless. She could only accept that others had a harder life and suffered more than her. She would be happy only if everyone was not as good as her. She didn't want to indulge her bad habit!
"At least Yan Zi has children, and they are rare twins. What can her mother-in-law say?" Ningxia thought that Xu Jiao was a guest, and Yan Zi was also a visitor.
In her opinion, they were all the same. She couldn't let Yan Zi reveal her own scars to comfort others, and she still felt so hurt by her.
"Ningxia, what do you mean?" Xu Jiao was stunned. Was Ningxia saying that she didn't have children? Was she looking down on her?
"I didn't mean anything! Didn't you ask Yan Zi just now? I was just answering your question!" Ningxia looked at her innocently.
Yan Zi fell silent. She had just come to comfort someone with good intentions, but now she was ridiculed. She was not stupid, and she could understand the meaning of the person's words.
So when Ningxia said this, she knew what she meant, but she pretended not to understand. She didn't say anything to comfort him. This person just didn't know what was good for him.
Erni beside her didn't know what was going on. The person had just started crying for no apparent reason. Yan Zi said a few words and now he was crying again. She didn't even know why he was crying.
Ningxia didn't try to persuade her this time. Xu Jiao's eyes were still red until Ren Jingxiao and others came back.
