Lin's mother asked Cao Jianyu to divide the money Lin Yihui gave her into three parts: one part for her daily expenses, one part for social obligations, since she and Lin Yihui had separated from the family and needed to handle social obligations themselves, and the third part to save for raising the children.
It must be said that Lin's mother's arrangement was very reasonable, and Cao Jianyu was very satisfied. He immediately decided to divide the money into three parts after returning home.
This way, you won't be short of money when you need it in the future.
Cao Jianyu was truly fortunate to have married into such a good family. They separated their households and built a new house early on. Her parents-in-law didn't want her to do any housework; she only needed to take care of herself. No one cared what time she slept, unlike others who felt like they were walking on thin ice in their husband's family.
When Cao Jianyu was about to leave, Lin Yiwan brought over a bowl of fragrant chicken soup. It contained a large chicken leg, several pieces of chicken breast, and plenty of meat.
"Sister-in-law, we stewed an old hen at home today. Have a bowl of soup before you go back!" Lin Yiwan placed the old hen soup on the table in front of Cao Jianyu.
Since they're all family, they always send a bowl of whatever good food they make to Cao Jianyu. Now that Cao Jianyu is here, there's no need to send it over; they can just let her eat at home.
This isn't a domestic hen. Domestic hens are few in number and are mainly used for laying eggs. This is the one Lin Yiwan keeps in her space.
With her around, the family can eat meat every few days, unlike other families who suffer so much.
"Thank you, Yiwan," Cao Jianyu said.
Lin Yiwan had initially thought that her pampered sister-in-law must be spoiled, domineering, and difficult to get along with, and might even bully her, but Lin Yiwan was not like that at all.
She didn't treat her as a sister-in-law, but as a friend, which made their relationship closer, because sometimes the relationship between friends can be more harmonious than that between sisters-in-law.
Cao Jianyu scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and was about to drink it when she suddenly felt nauseous. She quickly pushed the soup away, afraid of wasting the bowl.
Then Cao Jianyu got up and went outside, where he started gagging.
Lin Yiwan hurriedly took a glass of water out, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Cao Jianyu patted his chest and shook his head. "I don't know either. I just suddenly felt nauseous when I smelled the chicken soup. I've never felt like this before."
Lin Yiwan nodded thoughtfully, helped Cao Jianyu back into the house, and asked doubtfully, "Mom, my sister-in-law feels nauseous when she smells chicken soup. Do you think she's pregnant? I remember that pregnant women can't stand the smell of meat."
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she had read many books that said nausea and vomiting after marriage usually meant pregnancy.
Moreover, a month has passed since Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu got married. They might have already sown the seeds a few days ago, since his older brother had trained in that place and his physical condition is top-notch.
Hearing this, Lin's mother's eyes lit up. "Yiwan, it's still early. Why don't you accompany Xiaoyu to the clinic?"
"Okay." Lin Yiwan readily agreed, after all, having a good sister-in-law makes family relationships more harmonious.
Lin Yiwan accompanied Cao Jianyu to the clinic so the doctor could examine her. Cao Jianyu was indeed pregnant, but it was too early to tell from her pulse. She would have to come back in a few days to confirm.
Back home, Lin Yiwan told her mother the news. Her mother was overjoyed; their family was finally going to have its first grandchild. "Xiaoyu, the money your eldest son sent back is enough for you to live comfortably. You won't need to go to work anymore. Also, we'll send you any news from your parents' home. Don't go back yourself, lest you harm yourself and the baby in your belly. Once your eldest son takes you there, we won't have to worry anymore."
Lin's mother didn't know that Cao Jianyu's cousin was such a person. Although their family was punished, these days, which family doesn't have a bunch of aunts and uncles?
It's best to be more careful.
Cao Jianyu was a little embarrassed. "Mom, I'm not really sure yet."
“How can you be unsure? Didn’t the doctor say it’s early in the pregnancy? That means you’re pregnant. You have to be careful in the first three months. Besides, our family is doing well, and we don’t need you to earn those work points,” Lin’s mother said.
Cao Jianyu placed her hand on her stomach, a happy smile spreading across her face. She was pregnant; she was carrying Yi Hui's child. She wondered if Yi Hui would be happy to hear the news.
"Yiwan, go to the post office tomorrow and send a telegram to your older brother to tell him about Xiaoyu's pregnancy. Remind him that now that he's a father, he needs to act like and be aware of his responsibilities as a father." The implication was that he shouldn't have any ambiguous relationships with other women. Fortunately, he hadn't known Zhu Ying for very long, and nothing had happened between them.
If two people date for a year or two before bringing each other home, then everything has already happened, and things become difficult to resolve.
Lin Yiwan nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I'll talk to my older brother."
Fate is truly a wondrous thing. Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu met through a blind date and got married after only half a month. Unexpectedly, their relationship is more harmonious than that of couples who fall in love freely. It really does depend on fate!
Some people may be able to get along well on their own, but when they actually get together, they can have conflicts every day.
The next morning, Lin Yiwan set off in an oxcart. When she returned, she carried a basket on her back and delivered it to Cao Jianyu. "Sister-in-law, these apples are for you. Remember to eat one every morning."
In the past, whenever Lin Yiwan brought out fruit, she never shortchanged Cao Jianyu. After all, they were family, and she couldn't be biased. Moreover, her older brother was a soldier, so as family members, they naturally had to take good care of their sister-in-law.
When Cao Jianyu saw the apples in the basket, his eyes widened in surprise. The apples were big and red, bigger than a bowl, and each one weighed about half a pound.
"Yiwan, take these apples back and eat them. I can't eat many by myself, so just leave a few for me," Cao Jianyu said hurriedly.
This basket contained more wild fruit than she had ever eaten in her entire life.
“Sister-in-law, this apple is for you. Please don’t take it back to your parents’ home. There are quite a few people in your family who are jealous of you. If anything happens to your child, my brother will definitely divorce you.”
Lin Yiwan has her own things to do and can't be by Cao Jianyu's side all day long. Naturally, she can't help Cao Jianyu, so she has to scare her like this, telling her to go back to her parents' home less often, and even if she does go back, not to believe everyone.
Cao Jianyu nodded. Her cousin's incident made her realize that many people in this world lack a strong sense of morality or even have no morality at all.
