Lei Jiuniang smiled faintly, "Sister Hehua, if you don't know a reliable doctor, considering your friendship with Jinheng, I can help introduce him to one."
"Who asked you to be so hypocritical?" Zhang Hehua said fiercely, but then she felt that it was wrong to say that, "I am not sick, it is you who is sick."
"Lotus, this is your fault. People gave you food with good intentions, so if you don't want it, forget it. But how can you say that?"
"Kindness? You guys eat it, I feel sick just looking at it."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Everyone advised Lei Jiuniang not to bother with her, but Lei Jiuniang shook her head. How could she care about such things?
What people say is scary, and she has experienced it many times before.
"Niece-in-law, why did you come back alone? Where's Jinheng?"
Lei Jiuniang returned to the county three days after her wedding. She didn't recognize all the people in the village, but this did not prevent her from communicating with them.
"He's looking after the shop. I came back to see my mother. Jinxiu's restaurant is about to open. The brother and sister are busy. I miss the pancakes my mother made."
"Oh, what a good daughter-in-law! Your mother-in-law is so lucky! All the daughters-in-law in your Xia family are tough. Go home quickly."
Lei Jiuniang said goodbye to everyone with a smile.
Although she left, everyone's discussion did not stop.
"See? There are quite a lot of things in that carriage. Mrs. Xia is really lucky."
"Who says it's not true? This second daughter-in-law was pregnant when she came home. She was said to be in poor health before, but I saw her face glowing that day. How could she not look unwell at all? The Xia family takes good care of people, so this baby is guaranteed to be a boy."
"Although this is a widow remarrying, she is filial to Mrs. Xia and is rich and capable."
The old lady who was speaking was so envious that she also wanted to marry such a pretty widow to her son.
It’s a pity that my son doesn’t have that luck.
"Although she is a widow, I think her way of speaking and doing things is much better than many older girls."
Everyone knows who this eldest girl is talking about.
Old Mrs. Xia was quite surprised that Lei Jiuniang came back by herself, but she was happy in her heart.
Especially when Lei Jiuniang called her mother all the time, she was very happy. When she heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to eat the big pancakes she baked, she went to knead the dough without saying a word.
"Second sister-in-law, this is your jewelry. Third sister-in-law, this is your tonic. I asked the doctor and he said that pregnant women can eat it."
Xia Chen and Cheng Han both thanked him with a smile.
Cheng Han, in particular, said happily: "Fourth sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful."
"What's the big deal? I can't let anything bad happen to my eldest nephew. I'm still looking forward to meeting the little guy. Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your belly has grown bigger again."
Cheng Han looked very happy, "Yes, my belly has been growing fast recently, Zhiliao said it's normal."
"If she says it's normal, then it's normal. The little girl's medical skills are not simple."
Xia Chen also laughed. She was of course happy that her daughter was praised and trusted by everyone.
"By the way, Jinxiu's restaurant will open in two days. You can go there and have some fun. There is also a place to stay. Have fun for a few days and then come back." Lei Jiuniang invited enthusiastically.
Cheng Han shook her head. She was afraid that she would not be able to help and would cause trouble as she was pregnant. Although she wanted to go, she had never been to the county after all. But even if she wanted to go, the child was more important.
Xia Chen saw through her thoughts and advised: "It's okay. It's been three months since you were born. There are so many of us. Can't we take care of you? Go if you want to."
"Yes, Second Sister-in-law is right. Third Sister-in-law, don't be too nervous. At worst, I can hire a doctor to follow you!"
Cheng Han bit her lip. Old Lady Xia, who was waiting for the noodles to rise, also heard it. She came out while wiping her hands and said, "Go if you want to. Just be careful. The third brother is doing nothing but accompanying you. It's not easy for your sister to open a restaurant as a girl. We have to go and support her."
Old Mrs. Xia knew very well that if she didn't say this, the third son's wife would probably not agree.
Sure enough, when Cheng Han heard that it was to support her sister-in-law, she nodded.
"Speaking of which, Sister Jinxiu is really capable." Cheng Han said enviously.
When she was a girl, she only thought about finding a man who would not mind her frail body to marry, give birth to children for him, do the laundry and cooking, and she never thought about anything else.
But when she arrived at the Xia family, she changed a lot of her ideas. She found that women could also make money for a living and do what they wanted.
But my mother-in-law didn't mind it at all, she was even quite supportive.
"She has the ability, but she also needs everyone's support." Old Lady Xia said that as long as her daughter did not go to the palace to be buried with the old emperor, she would be fine with anything she did, even if it was exposed.
As a mother, all she hopes is that her children are safe and sound. Other matters, such as whether they are rich or poor, or whether they enjoy great wealth and glory, are secondary.
Of course, it’s better to have it.
"Fourth brother, do you have any news?" Old Mrs. Xia noticed that Lei Jiuniang had been staring at Cheng Han's belly, looking very envious.
Lei Jiuniang shook her head, "Mom, it's not that fast."
Old Madam Xia smiled and said, "It's okay. I didn't mean any other thing. I just wanted to ask. If you are pregnant, you have to be careful. Your health is important, especially for your first child. If you are not pregnant, there is no rush. You are just getting married."
Of course, Lei Jiuniang would not think that the old lady was testing her or was disgusted with her. She would only think that the old lady was concerned about her.
"Mom, I know. Don't worry. I will tell you if there is good news."
"Come on, you sisters-in-law are all tired, go and have a rest, and I'll make you some pancakes."
"Mom, let me help you!" said Xia Chen.
"No, you've been embroidering for a whole day, give your eyes a rest. If I don't move, my whole body will become stiff."
Xia Zhiliao came in from the backyard. She had just gone out secretly to learn a skill. When she saw Lei Jiuniang coming back, she greeted her first, and then went into the kitchen to help her grandmother with the work.
Old Mrs. Xia couldn't bear to let her granddaughter do these things, but since Xia Zhiliao refused to leave, she just let her do it.
"But be sure not to get burned. There was a child in the next village, no more than two years older than you. Her grandmother asked her to cook, and the child fell into the pot and was boiled. The child was ruined."
Xia Zhiliao felt pain just thinking about it.
[How do you look at this child? This is too irresponsible, isn't it? ]
Old Mrs. Xia was also angry when she heard this. It was a girl with scars all over her body. How would she find a husband in the future? Her life would be over.
The most hateful thing is that the grandmother was sleeping in the house and letting the child work. How could she have the heart to do that?
"Grandma, where is she?"
Old Lady Xia looked at Xia Zhiliao and said, "It's in the next village. What...what do you want to do?"
Xia Zhiliao shook his head and said, "I'm just asking."
"Zhi Liao, you are a good child. Grandma knows if you want to go and treat her illness. Let me tell you, this is a big deal. If you can't cure her, you may be in big trouble."
