Chapter 205: One Gets Married and the Other Gets Pregnant
"That's impossible! When it comes to my own son's marriage, I will do my best to arrange it as long as I have the ability." Huang Xinghua said very honestly.
Chen, who was standing by, was unhappy and a little jealous, and she didn't smile at all.
Huang Xinghua didn't care and just focused on entertaining Liu Jinhua and Zeng.
After everyone went into the house to rest.
Chen asked, "Did our daughter come to the feast today?"
"Yes!" Huang Xinghua nodded without thinking, and then changed the subject, saying, "But she is pregnant, and no one dares to ask her for help. She came here early this morning and left. I have to ask her mother-in-law to get some food for her later."
"Daya is pregnant? When did it happen?" Liu Jinhua was very surprised.
Huang Xinghua explained, "She got pregnant not long ago, and they love her so much. They didn't let Daya go out in such a cold weather. I guess they wanted to tell you after giving you New Year gifts. It's my fault for speaking too quickly. I told you now."
Liu Jinhua said she understood. After thinking for a while, she stood up and said, "I'll go to Daya's place to have a look. The second family is waiting here now. Or I can go over and talk to Erya. Do the first family want to go with me?"
Chen hesitated and muttered softly, "As a daughter, she didn't even think of visiting me, but as an elder, I came to her house eagerly. This is too unreasonable!"
"Then don't go!" Liu Jinhua didn't waste any time talking to Chen.
Chen didn't expect her mother-in-law to not care at all and not give her face at all. She was angry and stood up silently, admitting defeat, "I'll go with you."
Huang Xinghua sent them out, then turned back to greet Zeng, "Your sister-in-law is really awkward."
Zeng deeply agreed, "It would be hard for Daya to meet such a mother, but fortunately my mother-in-law can control it."
Liu Jinhua, who was being talked about by Zeng, was now bringing Chen to Chen's house.
Because Wei Daya was pregnant, Xu was worried about her being alone at home, so she asked Chen Liang to stay and keep Wei Daya company.
Shen Liang heard the knock on the door and went to open it. He was not surprised to see Liu Jinhua and Chen, and hurriedly invited them into the house to keep warm. "It's so cold, why are grandma and mother-in-law here?"
"Come and see my precious daughter!" Chen said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Wei Daya, who had just walked out, slowly lowered her eyes and called for help.
Liu Jinhua glared at Chen and immediately called out to Wei Daya lovingly, "Come over here, grandma! I heard that you're pregnant, so grandma and your mother came to see you. How are you? Is there anything that makes you unhappy?"
Wei Daya shook her head obediently, "I can eat and sleep well, just like before. I only found out because my menstrual period didn't come when I went to the town to see a doctor."
"That's good, that's good! You should eat good food when you are pregnant. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself and the baby." Liu Jinhua instructed carefully.
Wei Daya listened silently and nodded from time to time.
Chen Liang on the side hurriedly said: "Don't worry, grandma. Ever since my mother knew that Daya was pregnant, she has to cook a pot of fish soup for her every day, and stew chicken soup every three or five days. She eats meat for every meal, and also has snacks and fruits. She eats better than the wealthy families in the town."
Wei Daya blushed and quickly explained, "I told my mother-in-law that she didn't need to eat those, but she didn't listen and still made them every day."
Liu Jinhua smiled from ear to ear, "That means your mother-in-law treats you well, so just be happy! OK, grandma just came to see you, I'm relieved if everything is fine here, take this money and buy something else instead of food, don't be polite to grandma."
Wei Daya couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
Chen had not been friendly to Wei Daya since she said that as soon as she entered the room. She took out a tael of silver from her bosom and put it on the table just before she left. "Your mother is poor and hasn't saved much. If you don't like it, forget it."
Having said that, she didn't take the money back and just walked out of the house without looking back.
Liu Jinhua patted Wei Daya's shoulder soothingly, "Your mother is just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. It's not easy for her to save money. Just keep it."
Although the Wei family made a lot of money from growing fruits this year, because they did not divide the family property, the bulk of the money still went to the old couple, and their two sons and daughters-in-law each got ten taels of silver.
Wei Daya nodded silently with red eyes.
After Liu Jinhua and Chen left, Wei Daya was in a very depressed mood.
Chen Liang comforted him, "I'll prepare some extra things for the New Year gift this year. My mother-in-law gave you one tael of silver, and I'll give her two taels of silver as a token of my filial piety."
"Husband!" Wei Daya looked up in surprise.
Chen Liang smiled and said, “I am dissatisfied with my mother-in-law because she treats you badly. Now it seems that it is not entirely true. Anyway, if she treats you well, I will treat her well. If she treats you badly, I will treat her badly. With me here, no one can embarrass you.
You should take good care of yourself and leave the outside affairs to me, don't worry about it. I estimate that my mother will arrange a marriage for my younger brother next month, and maybe my younger brother will get married next year. There are many things to do at home, and I still have a lot to do."
After Shen Liang said this, Wei Daya immediately put aside her little emotions.
Here, Liu Jinhua also brought Chen back to Chenmu's house, and the banquet had just begun.
Zeng immediately arranged for them to sit down, smiling, "Mother, sister-in-law, look, the first dish is pot cakes, two plates, one meat, one sweet, and they are bigger than usual, hurry and eat them while they are hot."
Chen acted quickly, fearing that if she fell behind even a little, she would lose out.
Before I finished eating the Guokui, the next plate of braised pork was served, along with a dish of thin-skinned pancakes that were specially made to go with the Guokui.
Liu Jinhua couldn't help nodding, "This is a really thoughtful arrangement, full stomach!"
Next came a plate of egg drop noodle dumplings and a plate of braised fish, ensuring that everyone could have a large piece of fish. After eating these things, everyone was almost full and sat down to talk. Then a bowl of soup with a strong milky flavor was served.
"What is this?" Zeng asked curiously.
Huang Xinghua introduced with a smile: "This is goat milk peanut soup. In addition to goat milk peanuts, they also added some tea leaves, which is said to remove the mutton smell. They also added sugar, so it's very sweet. A bowl of this kind of weather is very comfortable."
Liu Jinhua's eyes lit up, "Wow! This is really good stuff!"
Zeng immediately served her a cup of wine. Liu Jinhua took only one sip and couldn't stop savoring it, "It tastes good! It tastes really good! Mother-in-law, where did you get this stuff from? I don't think your family raises sheep!"
Huang Xinghua said hurriedly, "It's definitely not from our family. It was Shen Yi and his wife who squeezed two large buckets of goat milk for us yesterday. Su Tai also came over to teach us how to make this soup. She also brought the tea leaves. We haven't seen them here. If I cook a pot like this, I can eat it for several days without getting tired of it."
"Hahahaha." Liu Jinhua laughed loudly, agreeing deeply with him. She drank a big bowl of goat milk peanut soup and was still not satisfied. She whispered to Zeng and Chen, "Our family has made some money this year, so we can raise two sheep and drink goat milk in the winter. Great! Just look at Daya, and you'll know that the child is really well raised by her husband's family!"
