Xia Jinxiu brought a few people from the village and waited until the Cheng family's guests left, and then helped clean up the venue.
"Girl, no need. You are tired too. Go back and rest early." Brother Cheng said.
"Brother Cheng, please don't be polite to me. You are tired too. Take a rest. This is what we do."
The people she brought with her had no complaints. After all, they couldn't go anywhere at that time and no one wanted to work for them. But they could earn thirty cents a day by following Xia Jinxiu, which was a lot.
Cleaning the yard, that's nothing!
After hearing what Xia Jinxiu said, Brother Cheng felt happy and told his wife to make fresh tea.
After Xia Jinxiu and her people left, Brother Cheng also praised her highly.
"Look at you. You've praised me so many times this day. I thought she was really your sister."
"She's not a biological sister, but she's almost the same. She's Xiaohan's sister-in-law, so she's a real relative. The Xia family is hardworking, capable, and honest. This girl is pretty good. With this skill, whoever marries her will be blessed."
The woman sneered, "Then marry me!"
"Nonsense." Brother Cheng glared at her. "I'm serious. This girl is bold and daring. She will definitely have a bright future, no worse than a man."
The woman smiled and said she was just joking.
Xia Jinyu and Cheng Han left first and went to the town. When they returned home, they were almost at the same time as Xia Jinxiu.
However, there was joy on their faces. Old Mrs. Xia was taking Xia Zhiliao to wash rice in the yard.
"mother!"
"Mom, we're back!" Cheng Han said softly.
Old Mrs. Xia nodded and said, "You must be tired. Go back and rest."
Xia Jinyu chuckled, but Old Lady Xia rolled her eyes at him, "What are you doing so foolishly? Why don't you take your wife back to the house? She's weak, what if she gets caught in the cold?"
"Mom, we have something good to tell you."
Old Mrs. Xia stared at her son and then glanced at her daughter-in-law.
Xia Zhiliao, who was standing by, understood what was going on.
[Could it be that Second Aunt is pregnant? ]
Old Mrs. Xia glanced at her little granddaughter, then patted her thigh and said excitedly: "Second daughter-in-law, you...you are not pregnant, are you?"
Cheng Han lowered her head shyly and nodded twice.
Xia Jinyu smiled like a fool.
Old Mrs. Xia also shouted, "God bless you!" and said that she would kill the old hen herself.
Xia Chen also heard the voice and came out of the house to congratulate.
The whole family was very happy, but Xia Zhiliao was a little nervous.
In the novel, the second aunt died of childbirth complications. Now the second aunt has been pregnant for just over a month, and her death has already begun.
Second Aunt was not in good health and seldom went out of the house, so she didn't bother her much. Besides, she was in her early months and didn't have much reaction, so she actually forgot about it.
"What about the medicine you took before?" Xia Zhiliao asked again.
Xia Jinyu touched her head and said, "The doctor said that the previous medicine doesn't need to be taken anymore. It's not suitable for your condition. Besides, your second aunt is a little weaker, but not that weak. I guess the doctor you saw before is not reliable."
Xia Zhiliao breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Jinyu's heart was filled with gratitude towards the little girl. He had heard from his wife before that his niece did not allow her to take medicine, and the fifth brother stopped her. This must be the reason.
"I will go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow to deliver the letter and make them happy."
Cheng Han nodded slightly and smiled particularly happily.
Mrs. Wang Cheng and Old Man Cheng knew that their daughter was so capable and became pregnant not long after getting married. How could they not be happy?
They had always been worried about their daughter's poor health. What if she couldn't get pregnant and was disliked by others?
Now, the old couple gave money and gifts. They had no other intentions, they just wanted their daughter to eat better.
Xia Jinyu didn't take the money, but he brought back the two chickens, a goose and a basket of eggs.
When Old Lady Xia saw this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You have stolen all the good things from your father-in-law's house. It will be a joke if others see you."
Xia Jinyu spread his hands and said, "Mom, I don't want to take it, but the elders insisted."
Cheng Han was thoughtful and afraid that her mother-in-law would think too much, so she quickly explained, "Mom, my father and mother have no other intentions, they are just happy. I eat well and sleep well at home, so they are really redundant."
Old Lady Xia smiled and patted her hands. "Your parents are worried about you, too. What parents wouldn't worry about their daughter? Marrying a daughter is like spilled water, that's all the evil words said by bastards. Since it's been given to you, then eat it and nourish your body."
[You can’t supplement too much, otherwise the fetus will be too big and difficult to deliver. ]
Xia Zhiliao was getting anxious watching from the side, but it was difficult for her to say this, as if she said it it would be like she was craving the food given by others.
"Mom, I can't eat so much by myself, let's eat together." Cheng Han said.
Old Mrs. Xia had some concerns about her daughter-in-law before, but now she likes her more and more.
"If you can't finish it, just keep it!" said Old Mrs. Xia. Country women can't eat anything delicious when they are pregnant, and there is no such thing as a large fetus and a difficult birth. But since her granddaughter said so, she naturally has to pay attention.
"Second brother, take good care of your wife and don't do anything stupid."
Xia Jinyu blushed, "Mom, I... I'm not a fool."
[Grandma is such a good mother-in-law. She treats Third Aunt well. I wonder if my grandma treated my mother the same way when she was pregnant.]
Xia Zhiliao was just curious. As for Second Aunt, she would also keep an eye on her at all times.
Old Mrs. Xia’s face froze.
At dinner, she specially gave two chicken legs to her two daughters-in-law.
Xia Chen didn't dare to answer, "Mother, my sister-in-law is pregnant, how can I compete with her for food?"
Old Madam Xia glared at her and said, "You work all day, you need to nourish yourself. One is enough for her. If she eats too much, the baby in her belly will grow bigger and it will be difficult to raise a child. And this is her first child, so she will suffer."
Cheng Han nodded. Although she had never given birth, she knew that it was difficult to give birth to a child when he or she grew up. Besides, eating just one was enough for her.
"Mom, please eat."
Old Madam Xia waved her hand and said, "When you were pregnant, life was hard at home. It was hard to even have enough food. It was a pity for you. If you have a child, I will let you take good care of him."
Xia Chen cleared her throat and said, "Mother, you didn't wrong me. You didn't ask me to work at that time."
"You can't sit still!" Old Mrs. Xia sighed, "Whether you are a mother or a mother-in-law, I want to treat you equally, but my fingers are not the same, so it's inevitable that you have been wronged sometimes. Now that life is better, you can all bring money home, and I am happy too."
"Mom, please don't say that." Xia Chen bit her head lightly, "You were very good to me. You sold your jewelry to raise the money for my parents to buy a coffin."
[I didn't know there was such a thing. Grandma is really kind-hearted, and she is also very good to my mother. Grandma, I love you! ]
