Chapter 116
"Next time, ask her to buy better ones. This apple is obviously not as delicious as the last one. I'm not eating it alone now. Your grandson and I are eating it together." Yao Yi said.
Mother Lei smiled sarcastically: "You already know it's a boy before the baby is even born?"
"If we want to continue the Lei family's lineage, it must be a boy," Yao Yi said confidently.
When Lei Ying came back, she heard these words from Yao Yi.
She felt extremely contemptuous. She was a woman herself, yet she looked down on girls.
"I bought both the apples last time and this time at the same counter in the supply and marketing cooperative. If you think the apples this time are not tasty, go to the supply and marketing cooperative. It's none of my business!" Lei Ying retorted to Yao Yi and went back to her room.
Yao Yi looked at Lei Ying's back, secretly rolled her eyes, and pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful and said to Lei's mother: "Mom, look at my little sister... I didn't say anything, the apples are indeed not as delicious as last time, why is my little sister angry!"
Mother Lei looked at Yao Yi's pretentious expression calmly and said, "Yingying is right. If you don't think it tastes good, go buy it yourself next time. You won't dislike something you bought yourself, right?"
After Lei's mother finished speaking, she went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Yao Yi rolled her eyes at Lei Mu's back.
He only protects his daughter and treats his wife as an outsider!
I'm pregnant with your Lei family's baby, and you still treat me like this!
Yao Yi thought unconvincedly and took a big bite of the apple.
Lei Xiao came back at this time.
Seeing Lei Xiao, Yao Yi happily got up from the rocking chair: "You're back."
Lei Xiao nodded and looked her up and down: "Are you feeling well today? Are you feeling well?"
Seeing Lei Xiao's concern for her, Yao Yi smiled and shook her head. But after a while, she pouted in grievance, saying, "It's just that the apples my younger sister bought aren't as delicious as the last time. I said the apples weren't as delicious as last time, and my younger sister got angry at me, saying she bought them at the same counter in the supply and marketing cooperative. Mom also scolded me and told me to buy them myself from now on."
"Anyway, there is a supply and marketing cooperative not far from your school. You can go there to buy apples after get off work and come back." Lei Xiao said.
Yao Yi was unhappy. Seeing Lei Xiao's expression, he still thought that what Lei Mu and Lei Ying said was right?!
"But the doctor told me to rest more and walk less. It's good for the fetus." Yao Yi said coquettishly.
Lei Xiao sighed inaudibly: "Then tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll buy it for you."
Although Yao Yi was still a little dissatisfied, since Lei Xiao said so, she smiled and agreed.
She didn't really want to eat the apple. But being able to tell her sister-in-law what to do made her feel much better!
After Lei's mother prepared the meal, Lei's father also came back and the family sat down to eat.
Yao Yi was dissatisfied when she saw that there was only egg custard and a little bit of stir-fried meat with shredded carrots on the table.
"Mom, why did you only prepare a few eggs and meat? This little bit of nutrition is not enough for the baby in my belly!"
Lei Mu's expression did not change: "The egg custard is made specially for you, you eat it alone."
"That's not enough! Just a few eggs, how can they be enough to supplement nutrition?" Yao Yi frowned.
Lei's mother looked at her with a slightly unhappy expression: "I have a friend who is an obstetrician and gynecologist. I asked her, and she said that in the first three months, it is okay not to supplement too much nutrition, because the fetus needs very little nutrition at this time. Besides, I don't think a few eggs are nutritious enough. Which family can eat fish, meat, and eggs for every meal? Even your mother's family doesn't have such conditions."
Yao Yi was deliberately looking for trouble. When she heard what Lei's mother said, she could only curl her lips and remain silent.
Yao Yi ate some rice, then took a spoon to eat some egg custard. She put down the spoon and stopped eating.
She gently tugged at Lei Xiao's sleeve.
Lei Xiao asked her, "What's wrong?"
"It's too fishy. I can't eat it." Yao Yi covered her mouth and said with an uncomfortable look.
Lei Ying couldn't stand it any longer and said, "What can you eat? I bought you an apple, but you said it wasn't tasty. Last time, my mom made you fish soup, but you said it was too fishy and you couldn't eat it. Today, my mom specifically didn't make fish and made you egg custard. You complained that the egg custard wasn't nutritious enough, and then you complained that it was too fishy and you couldn't eat it. Tell me, what on earth can you eat? If you think everything is fishy and you can't eat anything, how can you get any nutrition from it?"
Yao Yi shrank closer to Lei Xiao, looking as if she was frightened by Lei Ying.
The more Lei Ying looked at Yao Yi's pretentious attitude, the angrier she became.
Why are you pretending? It’s not like she hasn’t seen Yao Yi secretly rolling her eyes behind their backs!
"Are you really unable to eat, or are you deliberately looking for trouble? I see you can eat everything in the state-owned restaurants outside, but how come when you come home, you can't eat anything my mother cooks?" Lei Ying said.
"Little sister, what are you talking about?" Yao Yi pretended not to understand.
"Stop pretending! I saw you and your colleagues eating at a state-owned restaurant! It was just a few days ago. I went with my classmates to a state-owned restaurant to buy steamed buns, and I saw you and your colleagues eating there. You had braised pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of you, and you ate with such relish! You even said that food outside is always better than at home."
It's actually nothing.
Sometimes when Yao Yi didn't come back for dinner, she would eat at a state-owned restaurant, sometimes with Lei Xiao, sometimes with her colleagues, and occasionally alone.
However, looking at the current situation, it shows that Yao Yi's appetite is not as bad as she pretends. She thinks everything is fishy and can't eat anything.
Lei Mu said, "In that case, I won't cook for you anymore. You can cook whatever you want and whatever dish you don't think is fishy."
Yao Yi was shocked. She said in disbelief, "I'm pregnant, and you let me cook for myself?"
"If you don't like what I do, what can I do?" Lei's mother said indifferently, "To put it bluntly, life is better now. In the past, no one cared whether you were pregnant or not. You had to do the laundry, cooking, and farm work. You had to do everything. Let's not talk about those far away. Let's talk about those nearby. In your mother's compound, there are several families whose wives are pregnant and don't have to do any work like you."
Yao Yi opened her mouth, trying to find the words to refute: "Mom, how can you compare me with those people?"
"Why can't we compare? Do you still look down on your mother's family and the people in your mother's compound? How do you think you are different from them?" Lei's mother asked in a calm voice.
Yao Yi was completely speechless now.
Even if she felt that she was much nobler than those people in the slum, she couldn't say it!
"Also, you and Lei Xiao's rooms should be cleaned by yourselves. I won't clean them for you, so that you won't always think that I moved your things and ask me where I put them. In fact, you put the things there by yourselves, I haven't touched them at all." Lei's mother said again.
