Only a few exceptionally assertive wives can keep their husbands in check.
Mo Youyou couldn't endure such a life for even a single day.
She would never live her life according to Liu Dekai's wishes, and she would never allow herself to fall to that level.
Therefore, you absolutely cannot quit your job.
“Youyou, what Mom said actually makes sense. She's just worried about you and wants what's best for you—” Liu Dekai tried to say.
However, before he could finish speaking, Mo Youyou interrupted him.
Mo Youyou pulled her leg back, her face clearly showing displeasure. She even stopped eating the fruit, threw it on the table, and crossed her arms in a huff.
"Liu Dekai, can't you understand human language? I said I won't resign! I won't resign, can't you understand?"
"I'm telling you, no matter what you say, I'm not resigning. Leave me alone, okay?"
Are we just going to treat her like a fool if we don't get angry?
All this talk about doing it for her own good is just a ploy to deprive her of income so they can control her more easily.
Mo Youyou will never fall for it!
"Alright, alright! I won't refuse, I won't refuse!" Because of the pregnancy, Liu Dekai couldn't argue with Mo Youyou at this time, so he naturally had to go along with her.
Besides, Mo Youyou is right; even if you are inconvenient in the later stages of pregnancy, you can still take leave.
Mo Youyou has a job, so at least she has an income.
Although Liu Dekai was a deputy battalion commander, his monthly income was only about a hundred yuan. If it weren't for Zhang Cuihua, this income would have been enough to live a life of luxury in those days. However, because of Zhang Cuihua's health, he had to take medicine and hire a housekeeper. If he had to support the whole family on his own, life would definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.
Having gotten used to a good life, who would want to live a life of hardship every day?
“Mom, don’t say anything more. Youyou has his own ideas, and we should respect them,” Liu Dekai said, instead trying to persuade Zhang Cuihua.
Zhang Cuihua was extremely anxious, but she couldn't force Mo Youyou, especially since Mo Youyou was pregnant.
"Okay, Youyou, don't be angry. Mom won't mention quitting her job anymore. Eat some fruit, eat more!" Zhang Cuihua could only smile and apologize.
"Hmph!" Mo Youyou finally gave up.
She leisurely lay back on the sofa, touching her still flat stomach, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Pregnancy is great! Now she even finds Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua more agreeable.
"Honey, I want to eat sauerkraut and pork stew with glass noodles tonight!" Mo Youyou started ordering.
When Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua heard that Mo Youyou wanted to eat pickled cabbage, they were immediately surprised!
Sauerkraut!
Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl!
Doesn't this mean that Mo Youyou is carrying a son?
"Aunt Liao, do you still have any pickled cabbage and vermicelli at home? If not, hurry up and go out to buy some!" Liu Dekai called out.
Aunt Liao: "..."
Why didn't you say so earlier? Asking her to go grocery shopping now is really something!
"Let me take a look first," Aunt Liao said.
Turns out, we didn't have any at home!
"How about we have sauerkraut and pork stew with glass noodles tomorrow? I'll go to the market first thing tomorrow morning! I don't know if I can still buy it at this time of day..." Aunt Liao suggested.
However, Mo Youyou refused to accept it, and her face immediately fell when she heard that there was no food.
"Sigh...it's not that I want to eat it, it's just," she said, touching her belly and talking to the still-developing little bean sprout, "my son, it's not that Mom doesn't want you to eat it, it's just that Mom can't even eat it right now!"
Since they've already brought up their son, how could they not grant Mo Youyou's wish?
"Aunt Liao, the market is still open, hurry up and go out to buy some!" Zhang Cuihua said.
No matter who gets wronged, her eldest grandson can't be wronged!
Aunt Liao: "..."
So what if she's pregnant? What's with the attitude?
Although she was grumbling, she was still a live-in housekeeper, and no matter how resentful Aunt Liao was, she had no choice but to go out and buy the groceries immediately in order to keep her job.
This weekend, Liu Dekai accompanied Mo Youyou back to her parents' home.
"Dad, Mom!"
"Youyou's back!" Mo's mother was in a particularly good mood when she saw Mo Youyou. She looked her daughter up and down and said, "Youyou, why do you look a little chubby lately?"
"Mom, I have some good news to tell you. Can you guess what it is?" Mo Youyou asked mysteriously.
"How could I have guessed? Tell me quickly, so I can be happy too!" said Mother Mo.
"Dad, Mom, I'm telling you, I'm pregnant!" Mo Youyou said, looking at me with a childish expression that seemed to say, "Please praise me!"
"Pregnant? Oh my, that's wonderful news!" Mother Mo immediately turned to her son-in-law and instructed, "Dekai, pregnancy is hard for women, you must take good care of Youyou and spend time with her during this period!"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll listen to her in everything now. I'll give her whatever she wants to eat," Liu Dekai quickly stated.
Mo Cheng, on the other hand, still had a stern face, but you could clearly see the smile in his eyes.
“Youyou, now that you’re pregnant, you need to learn to be an adult and set a good example for your child. You can’t be as willful as before,” Mo Cheng said.
"Dad!" Mo Youyou immediately clung to Mo Cheng's arm and pouted, "Even though I'm going to be a mom, I'll always be your and Mom's daughter. I don't want to grow up!"
"You, you're always so cute and whiny, you never act serious!"
"You're just being mean," Mo's mother teased. "When your daughter tries to be cute, you're secretly overjoyed, but you're still pretending. Aren't you tired of that?"
"In my opinion, only Mom can keep Dad in check!" Mo Youyou said with a smile.
"Youyou, what do you want to eat? Tell Mom and I'll arrange it right away!" Mother Mo asked.
"Then I have a lot to eat... Hmm... I want hot and sour soup, Mom, can you cook some pickled fish?"
"Youyou, aren't you sensitive to the smell of fish?" Liu Dekai quickly reminded her.
"At first, I felt like throwing up from the smell of fish, but for some reason, I now crave sauerkraut fish!" Mo Youyou herself was puzzled; she seemed to no longer dislike fish.
“It’s normal for a pregnant woman’s tastes to change every day. Mom will cook some pickled fish first. You can eat it if you want, but if the smell makes you uncomfortable, we won’t eat it,” said Mother Mo.
"Mom, I knew you loved me the most!" Mo Youyou hugged her mother happily and acted coquettishly.
This treatment is only given when you go back to your parents' home!
Liu Dekai thought for a moment, and decided on pickled fish...
Isn't that sour?
Now it seems very likely that Mo Youyou's baby is a son!
Mo Youyou completely agreed with her mother that tastes could change.
She's been really into sour things lately. Even the sour apricots that Sister Luo used to bring to the office used to make her frown whenever she smelled them.
That day, Sister Luo actually shared some with her, and the smell made her mouth water...
"Mom, do we still have any pickled radishes at home? Could you pack some for me to take with me later?" Mo Youyou said.
