Wen Qiao was unaware of her mother's thoughts. She simply took out the things her mother had brought and told her to remember to eat them.
"Don't be sad, I'll come to see you often when I'm less busy."
Lü Yazhi said with a smile, "I was just bored before and thought you could come to my place more often. Now that I'm busy, you should take care of yourself."
"Xiao Qiao, Mom really didn't expect that earning money with my own hands would feel so good."
It's clear that her mother genuinely enjoys her current job.
"As long as you're happy."
After happily talking about her work, Lü Yazhi then took a serious look at her daughter.
"You've lost weight, you look haggard, and you don't seem to be in good spirits."
"Mom, make me something nice to eat later, and you can pack it up and take it home to eat."
“From now on, just tell Mom what you want to eat, and Mom will cook it for you when she has time. Li Qiang comes often, so I’ll have him bring it to you.”
Wen Qiao smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Wen Qiao looked quite tired, Lü Yazhi made up a bed, intending for her to rest inside. Unexpectedly, after she finished making the bed, Wen Qiao had already fallen asleep in a chair.
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, this child must not have had a proper rest in ages.
It must be because he's been studying so hard every day that he hasn't been able to get a proper rest.
Wen Qiao's lack of sleep is not due to studying; she has absolutely no pressure when it comes to studying.
Her biggest pressure came from Shen Jichuan; his demands were too high.
Even after being married for so long, he meticulously planned every single day to torment her, except for the time she had her period.
Menstruation?
Wen Qiao stirred suddenly in her sleep, but did not wake up. Lü Yazhi took a small blanket and covered Wen Qiao with it.
Wen Qiao then opened her eyes.
"mom……."
"Yes, I'm here. You can go to sleep. Or you can go to your room to sleep."
Wen Qiao hummed in response but didn't get up. In her dream, she saw many snakes wrapped around her body, some black, some green, and some very large, which startled her.
Wen Qiao felt unwell after sleeping for a while, so she got up.
Smelling the aroma of food wafting from the small kitchen, Wen Qiao got up and went out. Just then, Lü Yazhi packed the prepared food into lunchboxes.
"You're awake. I made chopped chili fish, which I just bought at the market. It's very fresh. I also made spicy stir-fried chicken, a specialty from our hometown."
“I also made a few pancakes. You loved my pancakes when you were little. But there were never enough for you. Today, Mom made a lot, so you should eat your fill.”
"Mom, things will get better and better from now on."
Lü Yazhi nodded with a smile.
Because Lü Yazhi had to go to her employer's house to work before evening, Wen Qiao didn't stay long. She took the food Lü Yazhi had prepared and rode her bicycle back to the Shen family home.
She arrived at the family compound just as dusk was falling, and some people who had left work early were already leaving one after another.
Li Meilan happened to ride in and saw that Wen Qiao's door was open and she was doing something in the yard.
"Wen Qiao, we haven't cooked yet. Deputy Division Commander Shen should be off work soon, right?"
Wen Qiao stood up and said with a smile, "It's already ready."
"Teacher Li, you're off work."
"You're off work now. You're off work early today. By the way, you've been staying at home for so long, why didn't you ask Deputy Division Commander Shen to find you a job?"
Li Meilan and Wen Qiao had a fairly good relationship and often chatted.
Wen Qiao said, "I just passed the accountant certification exam, and I want to find a job on my own."
Li Meilan looked at Wen Qiao and said, "You are a capable person."
Upon closer inspection, Wen Qiao appeared listless. Although he spoke to her with a smile, Wen Qiao's spirits were indeed not very good; she looked like a sick chicken.
Li Meilan suddenly asked Wen Qiao, "Why do you look a little unwell? Wen Qiao, are you pregnant? When I was pregnant with my second son, I was in the same state as you, with no energy at all and feeling lethargic all over."
Pregnant?
Liu Meilan's words reminded Wen Qiao that she herself hadn't realized she might be pregnant.
Her period seems to be delayed.
After Li Meilan left, Wen Qiao looked at her belly and thought about it again and again, wondering if it might really be true.
But since it's not certain yet, I won't tell Shen Jichuan yet.
She was planning to have a job interview tomorrow, and after the exam, she would go to the hospital to check and confirm her pregnancy before telling Shen Jichuan.
