Chapter 160 Later, their relationship improved, and she asked...
Fu Ci remained silent, and Tang Mingli assumed he hadn't listened to her.
No one knew better than her how important she was to Fu Ci. But she really didn't want her pregnancy to affect the development of this major entrepreneur.
Most importantly, apart from vomiting badly from the smell of gasoline at the driving school that day, she didn't feel anything else.
She's always been like this, whether she's pregnant or not.
The path to making money cannot be stopped, and Tang Mingli said understandingly, "You're also busy for our family, I understand."
"I..." Fu Ci wanted to refute, but could he say that his hard work was not for the sake of his family?
Dreams are important, but I also really want to make my family's life more secure.
Finally, he could only smile wryly, sigh, and say in a helpless yet indulgent tone, "You don't have to be so understanding."
Tang Mingli took it as a compliment and smiled broadly.
Being a good wife isn't that difficult.
Just then, Zhang Guihua finished cooking the noodles and called Fu Ci over to eat.
Fu Ci ate a bowl of noodles and stayed at home for another half hour. He couldn't stay any longer and reluctantly left.
Before leaving, he gave his wife countless instructions: don't overwork yourself, be careful, call him immediately if anything happens... and so on, all the instructions he could think of.
Tang Mingli couldn't remember exactly how much he resisted, but he agreed to everything.
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
If Tang Mingli was somewhat anxious about when her pregnancy symptoms would return after learning she was pregnant, then after a month had passed and she still didn't experience the discomfort that other pregnant women experience, she completely stopped thinking about it.
There's no reason to worry all day long.
If it's meant to come, worrying won't stop it from happening.
If they don't come, there's no need to be anxious all the time.
Eat as usual, drink as usual, sleep as usual, and life has slowly returned to normal.
Well, it can't be said that they are no different.
Her family paid even more attention to her, and Fu Ci called her more frequently.
He even took advantage of a lull in his work schedule a while ago to come back and spend five or six days with her.
Even Madam Fu joked that he never stayed home for so long during the Chinese New Year.
By the end of July, the fetus had basically passed the three-month danger period commonly referred to.
During a phone conversation with Tang Mingmei, Tang Mingli also generously shared the good news of her pregnancy.
You could tell that Tang Mingmei on the other end of the phone was very excited.
"You...you just said that? It's been three months already?"
Tang Mingli smiled faintly and nodded.
"Great, that's wonderful! You and Fu Ci have been married for so many years, it's time to have a child."
Tang Mingli couldn't help but sigh whenever she heard others reminisce about her long-term marriage with Fu Ci.
In fact, she was just a young woman in her early twenties, but because she got married early, she had been married for many years at a young age.
At 26, if we look at it decades from now, this age will be considered too early to even get married, let alone have children.
Tang Mingmei shared her experience of being pregnant with her daughter with Tang Mingli over the phone, and especially advised her not to eat fishy foods.
“I don’t usually experience morning sickness, but the day before, my mother-in-law went crazy and wanted to eat fish, which filled the house with a fishy smell. The smell made me vomit uncontrollably, and this vomiting lasted for several months.”
Tang Mingli had also heard that the smell of fish during pregnancy can indeed easily cause nausea and vomiting.
Although she didn't know if she could smell it, she didn't want to ruin her current pregnancy for the sake of curiosity.
"Okay, I've got it. But Grandma and the others don't seem to have mentioned letting me eat fish."
Tang Mingmei hummed in agreement and asked her, "What do you usually eat?"
"Chicken, lean meat, ribs, these are the most common types."
Strictly speaking, she has been abstaining from certain foods, otherwise, she would definitely be indulging in delicious seafood at this time of year.
Tang Mingmei didn't say anything more after hearing this; eating like this would definitely provide enough nutrition.
After chatting for a few minutes, Li Xin, who had been sleeping, woke up, and Tang Mingmei ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, she picked up her daughter, who was still a little sleepy after waking up, and chuckled at her earlier worries.
A family like the Fu family would certainly not mistreat Mingli and the child in her womb.
After touching her child's forehead and confirming that her temperature was normal, she gently asked her daughter, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going to the store with Mommy?"
Li Xin nodded and said in a childish voice, "Hungry."
Tang Mingmei immediately served her a bowl of lean meat porridge.
Li Xin ate with relish and quickly finished a bowl.
After cleaning up the dishes, Tang Mingmei didn't linger and went out with her daughter.
Today, because her daughter wasn't feeling well, she didn't go to the store. I don't know if her mother can manage all the work by herself.
When Tang Mingmei arrived, Li Hong was standing at the store entrance chatting with the owner of the shoe store next door.
Seeing her daughter bring her granddaughter over, she quickly asked with concern, "Is Xin'er alright?"
"It's nothing. I was probably just sweaty from playing yesterday and didn't change my clothes in time."
Li Hong squatted down and gently asked her granddaughter, "Xin'er, are you still feeling unwell?"
Li Xin shook her head.
Tang Mingmei handed over the porridge she had brought, saying, "Mom, have something first."
"good."
Li Hong took it; she was indeed hungry.
While Li Hong was eating her porridge, Tang Mingmei took the opportunity to start organizing the clothes on the rack, while Li Xin sat obediently to the side playing with her toys.
While tidying her clothes, Tang Mingmei told her mother the good news that Tang Mingli was pregnant.
Li Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! It's really not easy. The couple finally have a child."
"That's right."
However, Li Hong then added, "Although this child came late, he is destined to be a happy child."
Upon hearing this, Tang Mingmei paused in tidying her clothes, glanced at her daughter who was playing with toys, and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
The mother's words were absolutely right. The child who was born into Tang Mingli's womb was destined for a smooth and worry-free life.
Unlike her daughter, who had a hard life and was reborn into her womb.
However, Tang Mingmei was only sad for a short while before she quickly cheered up again.
Although she couldn't have a good environment to welcome her daughter, thankfully it's not too late, and she still has the opportunity to strive for a bright future for her daughter.
The mother and daughter discussed taking some time to visit the Fu family when two special guests entered.
The other party was clearly surprised to see Tang Mingmei. After a moment of surprise, one of them spoke up: "Mingmei, long time no see. Is this your clothing store, or are you working here?"
The person who came was a neighbor from the same tenement building as the Li family, and had often made fun of her in the past.
In the past, Tang Mingmei would definitely not have given her a friendly look.
But now, when you open a store to do business, everyone who walks in is a customer.
Tang Mingmei smiled and said, "It's my shop, feel free to take a look. If you like anything, I'll give you a discount."
"You own such a big clothing store? You're amazing!"
The other party clearly did not expect that Tang Mingmei would be doing so well after her divorce.
In contrast, Li Dazhu, after divorcing her, is now living like a ghost.
Li's parents, who were very critical of Tang Mingmei, always had a bitter face, either crying about their daughter's lack of filial piety or their son's misfortune.
The neighbors went from watching the spectacle to getting tired of it and starting to avoid them whenever they saw them.
While picking out clothes, the two neighbors told Tang Mingmei a lot about the Li family. Tang Mingmei remained expressionless and seemed unaffected.
But how could I not feel emotional?
She's not some saint; hearing that the Li family is having a hard time makes her incredibly happy.
"...However, Li Baohua is quite lucky. When she married Deng Qingyuan, many people were skeptical, but Deng Qingyuan treated her so well after the marriage, and now she has a son."
"They had a son?"
"Yes, that's right, your big, chubby son." The neighbor's words were tinged with undisguised envy.
Under the one-child policy, dual-income couples could only have one child, and everyone hoped to have a son.
Tang Mingmei smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
She once longed to have a son, but now she feels very happy to have a daughter.
The two neighbors eventually each bought a piece of clothing, and Tang Mingmei did indeed give them a very reasonable price.
After the neighbor left, Li Hong couldn't wait to speak: "I never thought your sister-in-law would be so lucky. It's really unfair."
Li Hongke has never forgotten how she treated her daughter back in the Li family.
Tang Mingmei retorted, "Life is long. How can you determine someone's fate just by whether they have a boy or a girl? What if this son grows up to be another Li Dazhu?"
"That's true." Li Hong was instantly relieved.
Having a son like Li Dazhu is worse than having a piece of barbecued pork.
"Moreover, I think our Xin'er is wonderful, and I am very happy to have her."
Li Hong was afraid that her daughter would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "That's not what Mom meant. Ten sons of outsiders are not as good as one of Xin'er's fingers."
"Mom, how could I misunderstand? I've seen everything about you, both to me and to Xin'er."
Tang Mingmei knew, of course, that her mother didn't mean to belittle her daughter; she just still held onto the same old ideas deep down.
My cousin once said that once someone has lived for decades, their thoughts and values are already set, and it's very difficult to change them.
She didn't want to change her mother. Although her mother identified more with her son, she also genuinely loved her and her daughter.
Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief when she realized her daughter hadn't misunderstood.
However, she didn't intend to continue the topic and instead asked, "I haven't seen Deng Bing much lately, what happened to him?"
Tang Mingmei said, "It's nothing, I guess he's busy with work."
Deng Bing was falling deeper and deeper in love with her, but Tang Mingmei didn't want to hold him back. She made it clear to him some time ago that she had no plans to remarry in the near future.
Perhaps he realized his own attitude and gave up.
Deng Bing is not young anymore; it would be more suitable for him to settle down and find someone to settle down with.
Tang Mingmei hopes that Deng Bing can find his soulmate soon, but Li Hong feels somewhat regretful.
"Deng Bing was a pretty good young man, what a pity."
Tang Mingmei said to her, "Mom, if it's not right, it's not right. I also think I'm pretty good, but we're just not right for each other. If we force ourselves to be together, we'll only end up as a resentful couple."
"Mom knows." But she still said with regret, "This young man is really good. I don't know if I'll ever meet someone so good again..."
Tang Mingmei was both amused and exasperated.
She understood her mother's feelings; she had experienced them before.
But she had never seen this in Tang Mingli.
I've never seen him before, neither in this life nor in the last.
Later, when their relationship improved, she asked her cousin the same question.
She kept her cousin's answer in mind.
