Chapter 214 Confirmed Pregnancy
She held Lin Nanjia in her arms, looking at the adorable baby babbling in her arms, and thought, if the baby took after her aunt, she would be such a lovely girl in the future.
All the packaged soap was taken to the commune. Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng, father-in-law and son-in-law, could make three trips to the commune a day.
I don’t know if it’s because of the Chinese New Year.
Wen Tang hasn't yet delivered all the previous orders, and new orders have come in.
The County Materials Bureau placed an order worth 5,000 yuan this time.
The extra three thousand bars of soap are all soapberry soap.
Wen Tang likes the orders, but...
Busy, really too busy.
Looking at the order for 5,000 bars of soap, Wen Tang went back and announced to everyone, "We originally planned to have a holiday for the New Year but..."
Wen Tang showed the order to everyone, although most of them couldn't understand it, "You'll have to work harder for a few more days."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. How can this be hard work?" The first person to speak was Wang Fu's wife.
Wang Fu’s wife is called Zhang Qiao. She is 38 years old. Her mother-in-law died early, so she became the head of the family at a young age. She has a hot temper both at home and in public.
She is also very efficient and effective at work.
He is extremely nimble.
So now I heard Wen Tang say that the holiday will be later.
She didn't think about the hard work, she just thought she could earn two more days' worth of money.
Others also spoke up one after another, saying that it was not hard.
"Thank you all for your understanding." Although no one said it was hard, Wen Tang still said the polite words he should say.
Chi Yue and Lin Jingshen came back from the county town and confirmed that she was pregnant.
Zhong Meixian didn't eat much that night.
When asked why she ate so little, Zhong Meixian said weakly, "Maybe it's because the weather is cold and my stomach got cold. My appetite is a bit poor and I can't eat."
The old lady who couldn't eat any more couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really pregnant?"
"How many months?"
Lin Jingshen couldn't understand his grandma's expression, so he just nodded happily and said, "Yes, she is really pregnant. It's been a month."
"It will be around next autumn."
Zhong Meixian put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Gu Jinfeng kicked Lin Jingshen under the table.
Lin Jiaojiao had a mouthful of porridge stuck in her throat. After she raised her head and swallowed it, she couldn't help but look at her mother, "Mom, why did you kick me?"
Gu Jinfeng: "..."
"Eat your meal!" Gu Jinfeng said angrily.
Lin Jiaojiao felt wronged, and continued to eat with her head down, saying aggrievedly, "I was eating well."
Gu Jinfeng raised her hand and wanted to hit her on the head.
It was Gu Juyuan, the grandfather, who spoke up, "Come on, your daughter is that old, why do you beat her every day?"
Gu Jinfeng put her hand down.
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't stop talking while eating, "That's right, how embarrassing!"
“Bang!”
Lin Jiaojiao finally got slapped.
Wen Tang: "..."
She also quickly picked up the bowl.
She picked up the bowl not because she was afraid of implicated others, but because she was afraid of not being able to hold back her laughter.
Sometimes she thought that Lin Jiaojiao’s beating was not in vain.
The Gu family's work stopped on New Year's Eve.
Wen Tang not only paid them their wages, but also gave each of them two bags of brown sugar and two pounds of meat.
Everyone was so happy with money in their pockets and brown sugar and meat in their hands.
Xu Ancheng's wife is easy to talk to.
She brought back two pounds of meat. Xu Ancheng discussed it with her and told Xu Anming and Gu Jin in advance, "Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner at my house this year. Xiaofen brought two pounds of meat, so we can have a great New Year's Eve dinner together."
Gu Jin received two pounds of meat and brown sugar, and originally had no intention of paying any attention to his three sons.
After hearing Xu Ancheng say this, he also took out his two pounds of meat.
"Chop the stuffing and make dumplings, and eat together!"
This home suddenly felt a rare warmth.
The warmth of the Xu family formed a sharp contrast with Wang Xiaohui's side.
Qiu Yuefang's family is the only one in the brigade. They have several sons, but they have not yet separated.
Because Lin Guang went to ask Lin Liansheng, the Gu family is recruiting people. Since they have split up, will they recruit from the son's family and the father's family as well?
Lin Liansheng said, "I don't know the details, but I guess they won't be hiring for the time being."
"We have enough manpower for now."
After hearing this, Qiu Yuefang refused to divide the family property no matter what.
When Huang Hongmei was making a fuss, she said, "It's fine to separate, but you can go over there by yourself with the pots and pans!"
"Love is how you live it."
"What about other things in the house?" Huang Hongmei asked.
Qiu Yuefang stared at him and asked, "What is that?"
She pointed outside the house and said, "Didn't you see what that woman looked like at that time?"
"She just took her betrothal money. Is your betrothal money with me?"
"With me?" Qiu Yuefang asked with her chest puffed out.
Huang Hongmei remained silent when asked.
"You can split it if you want, but if you set up a stove in your own room, no one will care about you!"
These words left Huang Hongmei speechless.
How could she not want anything?
No, what will their family eat?
Besides, if she doesn’t want it, wouldn’t it be a bargain for the second and third sons?
Of course she didn't want to.
She didn't say anything, and neither did the second and third sons of the Lin family, so naturally this family got no share.
I didn't get any share of the family property, and I could only watch Wang Xiaohui bringing back some oil residue from Gu's house from time to time.
Huang Hongmei wanted to get close to Wang Xiaohui.
But Wang Xiaohui is not the kind of person who only remembers the food and not the beating.
She was bullied by Qiu Yuefang at that time, and no one said a word for her. Huang Hongmei and other sisters-in-law wanted to add insult to injury. Now that Huang Hongmei was approaching, Wang Xiaohui naturally didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Huang Hongmei didn't get what she wanted, so she could only curse behind his back.
On the day of the Little New Year, they could only squeeze into a big pot and eat noodles cooked with lard. As a result, Wang Xiaohui brought back two kilograms of meat.
Huang Hongmei couldn't hold back again, "Sister-in-law, let's eat meat tonight!"
Wang Xiaohui had a blank expression on her face, but she still replied because she didn't want to hit someone who smiled at her. Besides, she lived in the same courtyard and didn't want to offend him too much. "No, I'll eat it during the New Year."
"This meat must be two pounds, right?" Huang Hongmei continued to ask.
"Well, it's the New Year break. I got it for my work."
"hair……"
"Don't want money?" Huang Hongmei asked in disbelief.
"Yes!" Wang Xiaohui said as she opened the door.
Once the door opened, he walked into the room and ignored the person behind him.
Huang Hongmei was stunned for a long time, and at the dinner table she couldn't help but say, "Xiaohui brought back two pounds of meat today!"
"There seem to be two packets of brown sugar."
Amid everyone's astonished gazes, she continued to speak, "I was working for the Gu family, and now it's the New Year break. The Gu family gave it to me, so I don't want any money!"
Then she rolled her eyes and said, "You said you don't want to split up the family, but I know what you're thinking."
"Two pounds of meat?" The second son's wife couldn't help but say, "The mother and daughter can't finish it."
"Even if we cut it up and fry it, it should be enough for our whole family to eat!"
Qiu Yuefang looked very unhappy.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but said, "Eat, eat, eat. I don't know where this dirty stuff came from, but you dare to eat it? Aren't you afraid of getting your mouth rotten after eating it?"
This was not pleasant to hear. Lin Jinghui clenched the chopsticks in his hand and couldn't help but said, "Didn't the sister-in-law say that the Gu family gave it to me?"
