Chapter 117 Chapter 117
"Mom, what do you mean? I'm pregnant, and you can't even help me get an appointment? Are you still my family?"
Seeing that her family was indifferent to her request, Wu Yueying was caught off guard. Her face turned pale and she almost cried on the spot.
Who was the first to not take her family seriously? If she really valued her family, she would not have come back to visit during the Chinese New Year, or even come to say a word to them. Now she is complaining about being wronged. It is really ridiculous.
The two sisters-in-law of the Wu family had never expected that their sister-in-law was so shameless. Not only did she not do things carefully, but she also turned the tables on them. Their faces immediately fell, and they didn't care whether their brother-in-law was present or not. They rolled their eyes at Wu Yueying and didn't give the couple any face at all.
The army farm is not far from Kaoshantun. If a pregnant woman really wants to see a doctor, she can’t get up early to queue up. Can’t her brother-in-law, a grown man, do the same? Why not get up at five in the morning when the weather is good and rush to Kaoshantun? If it really doesn’t work, just sleep at her mother’s house for one night and go to queue up early the next morning. Why bother her mother’s family for such a small matter? Does she really think she is the Buddha or the Empress Dowager and want her whole family to worship her? It’s really a habit!
Qin Xingzhi now understood.
This sister-in-law has really been spoiled by her parents' family.
When she first married Wu Cong, Wu Yueying was only eleven or twelve years old. At that time, the girl was smart, clever, sweet-spoken and very likable. The whole family doted on her, and even she loved her sister-in-law very much and showed favoritism and care to her in all kinds of life.
I originally thought that this girl received so much love from her parents' family that she would grow up to be a caring and filial girl. However, I didn't know that after only a few years, Wu Yueying's personality became more and more selfish and extreme. She did things without caring about anything but her own wishes, without caring about her parents' family's reputation at all. She was like a complete ungrateful person.
Therefore, Qin Xingzhi really no longer had any affection for her sister-in-law. No matter whether her life was good or bad after she got married, she didn't care and just treated her as if she didn't have this relative.
So after she and the second son's wife looked at each other, they didn't stay in the house. They just found an excuse and went out. They couldn't afford to offend the extremely bad sister-in-law, but they could always avoid her. Anyway, asking them to help queue up at the health station for registration was impossible.
Mother Wu is the only person in the family who still has some sympathy for her daughter. Faced with the unreasonable demands made by her daughter, she had no intention of agreeing to them. But when she saw her daughter's eyes red and she was crying, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
I can only persuade Wu Yueying earnestly:
"You are married now and have a husband to rely on. You can't always think of trouble your parents' home for everything. Otherwise, your two sisters-in-law will be unhappy and your family will be in turmoil."
"There are rules for doing things in the village. As the captain, your father must set an example. Otherwise, people will find fault with him, and he will lose his position as captain. No one will listen to his orders no matter what he does."
"So when it comes to registering at the health center, you should let your son-in-law do it himself. Don't always ask your brother or sister-in-law to run errands for you."
Xia Hangyi looked embarrassed. Wu Yueying herself had not mentioned coming to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Xia Hangyi just wanted to save himself the trouble and simply pretended that he had forgotten about it.
But who would have thought that after five or six days, Wu Yueying suddenly had a brain attack and insisted on visiting her parents' home on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Xia Hangyi was unhappy at the time, but he had to hide his unhappy emotions, act like a good man and cooperate with Wu Yueying, playing this face-saving trick to the end.
But when he came, he never imagined that Wu Yueying came to her parents' home not to be intimate with her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, but to cause trouble.
From the reactions of the two sisters-in-law just now, it can be seen how disgusted and impatient the Wu family is towards them and Xia Hangyi couldn't help but secretly curse Wu Yueying for being a brainless idiot!
If he hadn't found a suitable candidate, and if this woman happened to bump into him at that moment, he would never have chosen such a stupid teammate as a pawn!
Being married to such an idiot was a stain on his life. Even if he was just being used, Xia Hangyi felt like he had eaten a fly and was filled with anguish.
In order to avoid people thinking that he and Wu Yueying were equally excellent, Xia Hangyi quickly took over Wu's mother's words and said with a forced smile:
"Mom, Yueying was just joking with the two sisters-in-law. We have already been checked at the military farm, so there is no need to go to the health station to register."
"She's still in the early stages of pregnancy, but she's fine. My parents live far away and can't come over to take care of her, so I thought, if it's convenient for you, you can go live at the military farm for a few months. When Yueying gives birth, we can go directly to the county hospital to wait for the birth."
This explanation is too blunt and Wu's mother doesn't believe it.
When it comes to doting on Wu Yueying, Wu's mother definitely deserves credit, but at the same time, she is the one who knows her daughter's character best in the family. Wu Yueying was used to being unreasonable in front of her family, and she always acted bossy when making requests to family members, so Wu's mother could naturally tell whether she was joking or not.
As expected, Xia Hangyi just tried to smooth things over for Wu Yueying, trying to save some face, but he didn't know that the next second, Wu Yueying raised her eyebrows and retorted unhappily:
"What a joke, I'm not kidding! What kind of illness can the health station over at the military farm treat? How can they just take a pulse casually? I'm pregnant with a son, the eldest grandson of your Xia family, how can you be so perfunctory? If we don't take it seriously, what if something happens to the child, how are you going to explain to your parents and your grandparents?"
"Ye Qing's medical skills have been published in Jicheng newspapers and have been recognized by many villagers in the surrounding villages. It will definitely not be a mistake to ask her to check!"
"Didn't she refuse to treat me before? Then I'll take the right path and make an appointment to see her. I want to see. I'll go in with the number tag. Can she still kick me out?"
"But you know Hangyi's situation, mom. He's a technical researcher and is very busy every day. Today, he took time out to accompany me. How could he have the time to queue up for me? You don't have anything to do at home, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to get up early and get a number for me, right?"
At this point, Wu Yueying recalled the entrustment given to her by the wives of the military officers in the family compound. She hesitated for a moment and then made another demand to her mother.
"One number is not enough, at least five are needed. There are several military wives in the family compound. They know that my family lives in a mountain village, so they asked me to help them get a number plate as well."
At this point, seeing that Wu's mother's face suddenly changed, Wu Yueying quickly added,
"I had no choice but to do this. The husbands of those military wives are all cadres in the farm, and their positions are not low. I was afraid of offending them, so I dared not refuse. Otherwise, they would whisper in my ear and let the men at home make things difficult for Hangyi, which would be troublesome."
At this point, Wu Yueying pretended to shed tears, looking like a pitiful little white flower who had suffered a lot of injustice.
Mother Wu was angry and aggrieved, but she couldn't do anything about this debt-collecting daughter. She wanted to refuse her request, but she was worried that Wu Yueying had a bad temper. If something happened to the baby in her belly, she would not be able to give an explanation to the Xia family.
Wu Yueying didn't dare to confront her two sisters-in-law head-on, but she knew how to control her mother.
Seeing that Wu's mother remained silent, she knew that her mother had softened a little, so she quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued to feed her mother some sweet talk.
"Mom, this is a big event in your daughter's life. If there is really a boy in her belly, he will be the eldest grandson of the Xia family. Hangyi's parents and grandfather will not watch their child register his household registration in the countryside and become a peasant in the future, right?"
Afraid that Xia Hangyi would hear her thoughts, Wu Yueying went close to Wu's mother and whispered,
"Although Hangyi is just a small researcher now, his parents and grandfather are all working in Jicheng. When my child is born, they will definitely find a way to bring their son and grandson back to Jicheng. Then, I can go to the city with my child because of my status as a mother."
"And after going to Jicheng, your daughter will be a serious member of the imperial city. If I live a good life, can I help my mother's family? When the time comes, I will definitely help my sister-in-law's child, and maybe she will You can take them to school and work in the capital! Even if you don't care about whether my life is good or bad, you still hope that your grandson will have a bright future, right? But even if my father stays in Guoshantun for a lifetime, he can make us a big family. Do you all go to the city to eat the national food?”
It has to be said that Wu Yueying's misleading remarks really touched Wu's mother's heart.
Even though Wu's mother knew that Wu Yueying's words were largely meant to coax her, she still couldn't help but have some fantasies.
What if this girl really went to the capital and lived the life of a rich wife in the city? As an aunt, could she really watch her nephews and nieces continue to dig in the fields? As long as they help their children, maybe even their grandchildren can go to the city to work as workers and cadres. Then their family will really change their family status and achieve a real class leap!
The more she thought about it, the more excited Mother Wu became. She glanced at her son-in-law who was sitting not far away and glared at her daughter in reproach:
"Don't make such big promises to me. Who knows whether what you said is true or false? Don't even think about asking your two sisters-in-law to help you. I will discuss the matter of queuing with your two brothers in private. If it doesn't work, let your nephews and nieces go to queue with me in the morning. They call you aunt, so it's their duty to help you with something. But this is just for this time, don't do it again!"
Wu Yueying's eyes flashed with pride when she saw that her goal was achieved. She promised that there would be no next time, but she was thinking silently in her heart how to get her mother to stand on her side and help her persuade her father to get the ticketing job at the health station.
With Ye Qing's influence, as long as she is in charge of the Kaoshantun Health Station, it will only become more and more popular in the future. Maybe even patients from other places will come here to see the health station. The consultation numbers at this health station will definitely become more and more valuable. By then, it will be hard to get a ticket, and many wealthy people will spend a lot of money to buy them. If she can control the ticketing of the health station, it will be like holding a goose that lays golden eggs. She can raise the price and definitely make a fortune!
