In recent days, as the Chinese New Year approaches, the atmosphere in the compound has gradually become lively.

Shen Man's due date was a few days before or after the Chinese New Year, so the whole family paid extra attention to her and never let her out of their sight.

At the same time, the news about Lu Zheng and Liu Mingxia's relationship spread like wildfire, and almost everyone in the family compound knew about it.

There was even a time when someone came to visit and took the opportunity when Gu Qinglin was out to deliberately mention this matter in Shen Man's ear.

Everyone now knows that Shen Man and Lu Zhengguo were once husband and wife.

There were rumors that the two had met privately more than once, so some people speculated in their hearts.

The relationship between Shen Man and Lu Zhengguo is not clean yet.

This is why someone came to investigate.

"Xiao Shen, I heard that the wedding of Captain Lu and his girlfriend is going to be the day after tomorrow. Do you and your family captain want to go over and give a gift?"

"I remember when you and Captain Gu got married, Captain Lu didn't come, but he also gave a gift."

"It would be a shame for you two not to attend this wedding."

Shen Man naturally knew what these people were planning. She lowered her head and touched her belly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I can't go even if I want to. Look at my belly. I'm afraid it will only take a few days. What if I go there and something goes wrong?"

"We can't disturb other people's happy events."

Mrs. Lu looked at Shen Man's belly subconsciously, "That's true. If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten that you are carrying twins, so naturally they will conceive faster than ordinary children."

"But in all the years that our family has been here, I've never seen anyone get two babies at once."

"If you have two sons, you'll be blessed. One boy and one girl is also good, it's a good word. If you have two daughters, it will be troublesome."

Shen Man was very unhappy to hear this. She frowned slightly and said politely, "Sister-in-law, I'm a little sleepy."

As soon as this person came in, he said a lot of things that made her feel uncomfortable.

They were all from the same compound, so she would not quarrel with him unless there was something wrong. She could only politely drive him away.

Mrs. Lu seemed to not understand what she was saying. She covered her mouth and smiled, "Pregnancy is like this. I also felt sleepy when I was pregnant with my children before."

"But as women, we don't have time to rest all day long. When the man comes home, we have to prepare meals. Otherwise, what will he eat? And we have to clean up the house."

"When I was pregnant with my son Jinbao, I was about to give birth. I was still pregnant with a big belly, cooking and washing clothes for the whole family. I was still doing the work at hand, and the baby was born."

"Luckily I have a lot of experience. Not long after giving birth, I went back to work in the fields. You can ask around. Everyone in this compound knows that I'm the most capable person."

"Sister-in-law is amazing."

Shen Mansui followed her thoughts and said something, becoming more and more impatient with this person, but no unusual emotion could be seen on her face.

Mrs. Lu smiled more and more proudly, "Then, this woman should keep the house tidy and clean, and take good care of the husband, children and the elderly. This is a good woman."

"But Xiao Shen, you are also quite amazing. You can keep the house so clean even with two children in your arms. Your house is really big. It must take a lot of effort to clean it up."

Mrs. Lu looked around the house and couldn't help but feel envious.

Look at this brand new sewing machine, the radio on the table, the round wooden table, and the floral tablecloth. Wow, Director Gu is really capable and he is also good to his wife.

Shen Man, an unmarried woman, was lucky enough to marry such a man.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late and I still have to cook." Shen Man urged her to leave again.

Today her mother and Mingchuan went to town to do some shopping, so Gu Qinglin was supposed to be the one taking care of her at home.

But he suddenly had something to do and had to go out for a while, and it was time for him to come back.

Mrs. Lu waved her hands and said, "It's okay. You do your thing. I'll stay here by the fire. Xiao Shen, not only is your home beautifully decorated, but even the stove is warmer than mine."

She was about to say something else when the door opened.

Gu Qinglin walked in from outside and saw another person in the house. He nodded and greeted them, then walked into the kitchen skillfully and started washing his hands and cooking.

Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded, and thought she had seen it wrong. She subconsciously looked at Shen Man, "Xiao Shen, don't you cook? Why do you ask Captain Gu to cook? You won't always let him cook for you, right?"

This is not okay. What woman would dare to do this? Even if she is pregnant, her husband is working so hard outside. How could Xiao Shen do this?

Thinking of this, Sister Lu felt that she was older than Shen Man and should teach her these things, so she cleared her throat and started talking.

"Xiao Shen, you are already in your teens and have been divorced once. Didn't your previous mother-in-law teach you that you can't treat men like this?"

"As women, we should think about men and take care of household affairs for them. How can we let a grown man enter the kitchen? You are too willful."

"You will suffer a great loss later."

Shen Man's face turned completely cold. "Sister-in-law, I have made it very clear for myself. I don't need others to talk about my family's affairs."

"If you don't come to talk to me, I'm always welcome, but if you don't come to point fingers at me, I can only say sorry, please leave my house now."

"As for who cooks in my house, you don't have to worry about it. If you really have any opinions, go and report to the troops."

Mrs. Lu's face turned red and white, she was very angry.

"Xiao Shen, what do you mean by this? Do you want to chase me away, or do you think I'm too controlling?"

"You have to know that I'm not telling you this for your own good. I really wouldn't say these heartfelt words to ordinary people."

Shen Man nodded, "Yes, I just want you to leave my house, and don't point fingers at me under the banner of doing something good for me."

"I didn't tell you what you were thinking just now, I just didn't want to make things too awkward."

"But your behavior is getting more and more outrageous. I don't want to tolerate it anymore."

Gu Qinglin, who was cooking in the kitchen, also heard the noise outside.

When he walked out, he just happened to hear Mrs. Lu pointing all kinds of words at Shen Man in front of her.

"Xiao Shen, am I not telling the truth?"

"Although you are pregnant, your family head is more tired than you and has a heavier burden than you. As his wife, not only do you not help him, but you also ask him to cook and do housework for you when he comes home."

"Go out and ask, whose daughter-in-law is like you?"
