Chapter 50 She is happy to see their internal strife
"The family has split up."
Madam Song kept repeating these words as she came and went, doing her needlework in an orderly manner. It was obvious that she treated Madam Song as nothing.
"Li'er."
Madam Song Er looked at Song Jiuli who was cooking porridge, "Your grandmother loved you the most in the past. You can't just watch your grandmother... pass away."
She glanced at Old Madam Song who was sitting there in a daze. She had been clear-headed just now, but now she seemed confused again.
She just sat there blankly, her eyes lifeless as if she was idiot, which was indeed a bit pitiful.
Song Jiuli felt sad, and quickly retracted his gaze, lowering his eyes and said:
"I sympathize deeply, but I can't even support myself, so there's nothing I can do about it."
It was rare to see Song Jiuli not showing such a virtuous heart. Jiang Wan was a little surprised, but it was a good thing for her that she could change.
Seeing that they didn't take her seriously at all, Madam Song was very depressed, but Jiang Wan now had Ren Bang's support, so she didn't dare to do anything.
At most, it was just to annoy Madam Song, but it didn't hurt her at all.
It's like punching cotton, making people feel very powerless.
"alright."
Song Jiuyuan handed the processed rabbit to Jiang Wan, and he actually ignored Madam Song Er.
She was so angry that she suddenly heard a sneer, which came from Chen Qian.
It seems that he has given up on himself. Now Shen Qian dislikes everyone and no longer suppresses his temper.
Jiang Wan looked over and saw the vicious look in Chen Qian's eyes. Even though she was tortured to the point where she was neither human nor ghost, she was still living on with strength.
It's really like an indestructible cockroach. Madam Song was so angry that she beat Chen Qian fiercely. Chen Qian was not willing to be outdone, and the two soon got entangled together.
Jiang Wan didn't look at them. She was happy to see their infighting and just treated it as a show.
Jiang Wan continued to teach Song Jiuli how to roast a rabbit verbally. She was in a good mood due to the space upgrade and was too lazy to bother with these people.
The hare was roasted and the family shared it. Jiang Wan left a small rabbit leg and walked towards Chen Wenhao with a gentle voice.
"Wenhao, this is for you to eat."
"Thank you, Auntie. I'm not hungry."
Chen Wenhao shook his head sensibly. It was not that he was not hungry, but he just didn't want to take advantage of Jiang Wan all the time.
"Eat what your aunt gives you."
If at the beginning it was because she had plundered the Chen Mansion and taken care of Chen Wenhao, now it was because Chen Wenhao's understanding made Jiang Wan feel a little distressed.
"Thank you, Miss Song, but we got some food."
Madam Chen was cooking some porridge with nothing in it. She had exchanged some food for food when she stayed overnight in the village.
Just as she finished saying this, the spoon in Mrs. Chen's hand suddenly fell into the pot. She felt dizzy and almost fainted. Chen Ce hurriedly supported her.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing."
Madam Chen shook her head weakly and comforted him, "Don't worry, my husband. I'm just a little tired."
"But mom has fainted from exhaustion several times."
Chen Wenhao pouted and took the rabbit leg from Jiang Wan's hand, "Thank you, Auntie. Can I give this rabbit leg to Mom?"
He opened his big watery eyes. The previously fair and tender little boy was now skinny, with not a pound of flesh on his face.
Jiang Wan bent down and gently rubbed the top of his head, "Since it's already been given to you, you can give it to whoever you want."
"Thank you, auntie."
Chen Wenhao smiled widely, handed the rabbit leg to Chen Niangzi's mouth, and said in a baby voice:
"Mom, you eat."
Mrs. Chen's eyes were hot and her nose was sour. "Mother is not hungry, silly child, you eat."
She pinched Chen Wenhao's little face with a gentle expression. Jiang Wan frowned and took a few steps forward.
"Let me feel your pulse."
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Song."
Chen Ce's eyes were filled with worry. He was afraid that his wife would refuse, so he quickly agreed to Jiang Wan.
Since he said so, Madam Chen naturally would not resist. She gently lifted her sleeves, and Jiang Wan's white fingertips rested on her pulse.
After a few breaths, she glanced at Chen Niang with an inexplicable look, and the corner of her mouth twitched, "You... don't know what the reason is?"
"I'm tired after all."
Madam Chen smiled and didn't care much. She was spoiled in the past, and now it was normal for her to be unable to bear the day and night work.
This is also the reason why she gritted her teeth and persevered all the way, she really didn't want to make her husband worry.
"no."
Jiang Wan shook her head speechlessly and whispered the answer in Madam Chen's ear, which scared Madam Chen so much that her face turned pale.
"Miss Song, is this true?"
"Of course, you should talk to your husband about it."
Jiang Wan stood up and returned to Song Jiuyuan's side, picked up her own lunch and started eating.
Over there, Madam Chen and Chen Ce were talking in low voices, and soon both of their faces were filled with sorrow.
Even Song Jiuli was curious, so she asked Jiang Wan in a very low voice, "Sister-in-law, what happened to Madam Chen?"
Jiang Wan subconsciously looked up at Song Jiuyuan and found that he also seemed to want to know the answer, but he was being stubborn. When Jiang Wan looked over, he quickly looked away.
Jiang Wan suddenly felt playful and sighed deliberately, "It's hard to say about this matter, Madam Chen. Anyway, it's not conducive to the journey ahead."
"Ill?"
Mrs. Song was kind-hearted and kept asking questions, but Jiang Wan was ambivalent.
"It will probably take another seven months to get better."
"Seven months?!!"
Song Jiuli almost screamed. What kind of illness would take so long to cure? Jiang Wan nodded her head unhappily.
"Keep your voice down."
"I want to talk to you alone."
Song Jiuyuan, who had just pretended to be indifferent, became more serious, and Jiang Wan spread his hands.
"OK."
So Mrs. Song took her two children and walked away, leaving Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan sitting together.
Although they were said to be chatting alone, they were actually very close to the team. However, if the two of them spoke quietly, others would not be able to hear them.
"Can you please tell me what happened to Madam Chen?"
Under the hem of his clothes, Song Jiuyuan's fingertips were clenched together, with his five fingers forming a fist. Jiang Wan could roughly guess what he was thinking.
Chen Ce is his man, and the trouble they had must have been caused by Song Jiuyuan. If anything happened to Madam Song, Chen Ce would always have some estrangement from him no matter what.
Song Jiuyuan himself would also feel guilty in his heart. Seeing that he really wanted to know, Jiang Wan leaned over and whispered:
"She's...pregnant."
She was only concerned with telling Song Jiuyuan the answer, ignoring the fact that they were very close to each other, and her slightly warm breath gently sprayed on Song Jiuyuan's face.
He even smelled a sweet fragrance. Now was not the time to let his imagination run wild. He squeezed his palms hard and came back to his senses.
Thinking about it carefully, Song Jiuyuan also understood why the Chen couple looked so worried.
"This journey will be unsafe. Madam Chen is pregnant, and the baby may not be born safely."
Not to mention that she couldn't eat enough, Mrs. Chen's body might not be able to withstand the high-intensity journey.
"Um."
Jiang Wan nodded and sat there poking at the firewood sticks on the ground boredly. "She has been pregnant for more than two months. Maybe I didn't notice it before."
