Chapter 107 Hole Li Fengju really wanted to beat Wang Hui up, but...
In the Du family's kitchen, Du Wenxiu whispered to Sun Qiaoling, "Mom, Wang Hui's eldest sister was the one Jianguo had his eye on from the beginning, right?"
"Well, don't say that. The Wang family is here." Sun Qiaoling said as she put the chopped peppers into the plate.
Du Wenxiu lowered her voice again and said, "Mom, what were you thinking back then? Wang Hui's older sister is obviously calmer and more steady than Wang Hui. I heard she's now the deputy director of the non-staple food factory. How capable! Wang Hui can't even compare to her older sister."
Sun Qiaoling certainly felt a little regretful, but since things had come to this point, what was the point in regretting it? She said, "That's because the Zhao family is capable. It would be the same if Wang Hui married into the Zhao family."
Du Wenxiu sneered, "As for Wang Hui, she's got no brains, no skills, and is lazy and greedy. She can't even be an employee, let alone a deputy director. Mom, you really shouldn't have married her."
"Then don't just think of her as a good thing. Think about it, she is so powerful and capable. If you marry her into the family, with your brother's temper, can he control her? Even your mother may have to live her life according to her mood." Sun Qiaoling said and started cutting eggplant again.
Du Wenxiu thought for a moment and said, "That's true. They're all leaders in the company, so it's definitely hard to control them."
"That's right. Stop talking. It's not good if they hear it," Sun Qiaoling said. "Your brother's matter is over. It's you who's the one I'm worried about. You're not a child anymore. If that guy last time doesn't work out, just give up. Don't delay any further."
Speaking of this, Du Wenxiu became annoyed: "Mom, such a good marriage, you want me to give up? He has a good job, looks good, and has a good personality. Where can I find such a good man? I don't think he is unmoved at all. I still want to give it another try."
"That's fine, but she already has a partner. If you keep rushing her, once she's married, your efforts will be in vain!" said Sun Qiaoling.
"I've inquired, and his girlfriend's family isn't very supportive. They haven't even set a wedding date yet. I don't believe I can't snatch her away!" Du Wenxiu was full of fighting spirit. The man she was talking about was the man who had saved her when she broke her leg, and was also the current boyfriend of Wang Ying's friend Zhou Xiaoqin.
Sun Qiaoling didn't want to persuade anymore. As an older girl, she was very opinionated. She wouldn't listen to anything her family said and didn't want the partner they found for her. She wanted to find a date on her own.
When the mother and daughter heard the footsteps, they stopped talking and turned around to see that it was Li Fengju.
"Oh, Fengju, why are you here? Please go and sit in the main hall." Sun Qiaoling said enthusiastically.
"I came to see if I can help." Li Fengju walked into the kitchen with a smile.
"The three of us, mother and daughter, can handle it," said Sun Qiaoling.
Li Fengju looked at the dishes prepared by the Du family. They were not as good as the ones prepared by the Zhao family a month ago. Eggplant, peppers, cucumbers... there really wasn't much to do. The food for a "birthday party" was just so-so, which showed that the Du family's meals were usually average. So why did Wang Hui have such a big belly?
Li Fengju said, "Qiaoling, you are capable. You have raised both girls well. My daughter Huihui is also well raised in your family."
"Oh, they can't compare to your two. Look how successful your eldest daughter is." Sun Qiaoling said with a smile.
"Haha, let's not talk about Yingzi, let's talk about Huihui. I think you have taken too good care of her. Her belly is a little too big." Li Fengju said.
"Is it big? It looks normal to me?" said Sun Qiaoling.
"Big, isn't she just over seven months pregnant? Her belly is almost full-term." Li Fengju said.
"Oh, I didn't notice it because I was watching it every day." Sun Qiaoling stopped and looked at Li Fengju and said, "Then should I pick a little bit off her food?"
"Well, we can't let her belly get any bigger. She's only nineteen, she's young to begin with, and her pelvis is narrow. If the baby is too big, she'll suffer a great loss." Li Fengju said, her heart tightening.
Sun Qiaoling was a woman herself, and had given birth to three children, so she knew what she was talking about. She quickly said, "Okay, I'll give her some reduced food. Fengju, tell Huihui too, so she doesn't think I'm reluctant to give her any."
"Don't worry, I've talked to her." Li Fengju said.
Sun Qiaoling was relieved. With her mother's advice, she could give Wang Hui less food without any complaints. These days, Wang Hui, under the guise of the baby in her belly, had been demanding meat one day and fish the next. She had invested heavily in her grandson, and now that he was grown up, it was okay for Wang Hui to eat less. A difficult labor would be a bad thing.
The Du family's banquet was ready. Both the dishes and the quantity were far inferior to those of the Zhao family. Even the wine on the table was cheap.
Wang Yongren felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that the Du family neglected Wang Hui and the Wang family, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Li Fengju was worried that Wang Yongren would get drunk and go crazy, so she pinched his thigh hard under the table to remind him not to do anything rash.
Wang Yongren remained expressionless, turning his head to glare at Li Fengju. Was he such a fool? He had completely forgotten about his outburst at the Zhao family.
The Du family was straightforward. They didn't compete with the Zhao family, and they wouldn't try to brag. Even though Sun Qiaoling saw Wang Yongren's expression, she didn't take it to heart. Ten fingers are still different. You can't expect every family in your son-in-law's family to be so well-off!
After the meal, Wang Yongren didn't drink many glasses of wine and didn't talk much. He and Du Weimin couldn't get along, and he felt that Du Weimin was not as talkative as Director Zhao.
During the meal, Wang Hui kept an eye on Du Jianguo, trying to see if he was glancing at her elder sister. Luckily, Du Jianguo didn't glance at Wang Ying. She didn't know what dirty thoughts Du Jianguo was harboring. He thought, "I can't do it with Wang Hui right now, but if it were Wang Ying, maybe I could..." The more he thought about it, the more he dared not look at Wang Ying. In Wang Hui's eyes, he looked like an honest man.
Zhao Yunsheng, who was beside Wang Ying, also glanced at Du Jianguo from time to time. Zhao Yunsheng still remembered the last time Wang Ying talked in her sleep and scolded Du Jianguo!
After dinner, Sun Qiaoling took the two Du sisters to the kitchen to clean up, and Li Fengju took the two daughters to the room to talk.
Li Fengju was still concerned about Wang Hui's stomach. Wang Ying felt stuffy and went out after a while. She called Zhao Yunsheng and they went to the supply and marketing point to buy soda.
In the room, Li Fengju asked Wang Hui, "Huihui, I think the food at the Du family is just average. How come you've become fat and have such a big belly?"
Wang Hui was worried that she would not have the chance to ask her mother for money, so she said, "I bought some food myself."
"What did you buy to eat?" Li Fengju didn't expect Wang Hui to do such a thing.
"Just peach cakes, biscuits, shaqi ma and so on. Sometimes I buy some braised pork elbows and braised beef in soy sauce," said Wang Hui.
"How can you get so fat by eating all this? Where did you get the money and tickets?" Li Fengju said.
"It's the last one in the box." Wang Hui said, "Mom, I've almost spent all my money. Can you give me some more?"
Li Fengju was stunned. "What did you say? You've almost spent all your savings? That's two hundred yuan!"
"Mom, please keep your voice down!" Wang Hui said hurriedly.
"You! You damn girl!" Li Fengju was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
"I'm hungry!" Wang Hui said, "What can I do? Mom, do you want to see me starve to death? They really don't eat well at home. Before I was pregnant, they wouldn't even give me a boiled egg! If there's any food at home, I can't snatch it from my two sisters-in-law."
"Why are you so useless! How can you compete with your elder sister at home!" Li Fengju was really mad at Wang Hui.
Wang Hui hugged Li Fengju's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, I was really hungry, so I went to buy snacks. I won't buy them anymore. Give me some more money, and I will definitely not spend it recklessly."
"I don't have any money. How can a married girl ask her parents for money?" Li Fengju pushed Wang Hui's hand away.
"Even though I'm married, I'm still my mother's daughter!" Wang Hui leaned over and acted coquettishly, "Mom, you're the best. Give me some. I need to keep it for self-defense."
"Did you spend all the two hundred yuan?" Li Fengju said.
"There are still about twenty yuan left." Wang Hui said in a low voice.
"Where's your salary, and where's Jianguo's salary?" Li Fengju asked again.
"I only work so many hours, and I have to split my salary with Du Wenxiu. How much money can I make? Jianguo's money is all handed over to my mother-in-law." Wang Hui said, "Mom, please have pity on your little girl!"
"Did you turn over all of Jianguo's money? You won't keep half?" Li Fengju looked at Wang Hui and knew she was lying. She had mentioned this to Sun Qiaoling earlier, and Sun Qiaoling had said that half of Jianguo's money would be turned over, and she would save it for them, and the other half would be used by the couple themselves.
Wang Hui lowered her head and said nothing.
"Tell me the truth, have you eaten up all of Jianguo's salary?" Li Fengju asked in a low voice.
"Hmm..." Wang Hui finally nodded.
Li Fengju was so angry that her heart ached. She had never thought that Wang Hui could be so ignorant. Li Fengju covered her heart, unable to utter a word.
Wang Hui hurried to calm Li Fengju down, saying, "Mom, I'll make a lot of money in the future and give it all to you. Don't be angry."
"I can't count on you." Li Fengju said angrily.
"I can't rely on her. I'm not her elder sister. She is heartless." Wang Hui said.
"Your elder sister never asked me for money, and she always brought gifts when she came home!" Li Fengju glared at Wang Hui fiercely.
"Mom~~I really know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again." Wang Hui kept acting coquettishly.
Li Fengju thought that Wang Hui was young after all and was spoiled by them at home, so she became so ignorant when she went to her husband's family. She and Lao Wang were both responsible.
"How much of Jianguo's salary did you spend?" Li Fengju said.
"Jianguo earns thirty-six yuan a month. He gives eighteen to mother-in-law, keeps three for himself, and gives the remaining fifteen to me. Now, adding my dowry, there are twenty-eight yuan and twenty-six yuan left in total..." Wang Hui said in a low voice.
"Even if you eat big fish and meat every day, you can't finish so much!" Li Fengju couldn't help but tap Wang Hui's forehead with her finger.
"Where can I get so many tickets to buy things? I have to pay extra money to exchange them with others. I also lent fifty yuan to a friend who went to the countryside..." Wang Hui was determined to save Zhang Xiumin. Once, Zhang Xiumin wrote to her saying that she was having a hard time in the countryside, so she mailed fifty yuan to Zhang Xiumin.
Li Fengju really wanted to beat Wang Hui up, but looking at her belly, she could only endure it.
Wang Hui looked at Li Fengju pitifully, holding Li Fengju's hand, with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I really know I was wrong and I will never do it again. Please help me fill this hole. If Jianguo knew about it, he would definitely be angry." Wang Hui said.
"Just this once!" Li Fengju said, "You're going to be a mother soon, so you need to think long-term and make every penny count. Snacks are just for occasional enjoyment, but they're not enough to be considered a meal. You're eating like crazy, wasting money, and making yourself fat with a big belly. You'll have to suffer later! I'm really, really pissed off at you..."
"Thank you, Mom! I knew you were the best!" Wang Hui threw herself into Li Fengju's arms.
"I didn't bring that much money today. I'll give it to you later. I'm telling you, this is just this once. There won't be a next time!" Li Fengju warned Wang Hui.
"I know, I know." Wang Hui nodded quickly, but in her heart she didn't take it seriously at all. Her parents were both working, and the expenses were not high, so the family still had some money. Her eldest sister didn't ask them for money, so what was wrong with giving her a little? In the future, when she had money, she would definitely be filial to them, even more filial than her eldest sister in her previous life.
"Don't ignore my words. I will only fill this hole for you once. After I fill it for you, you must keep the money and don't buy food randomly anymore!" Li Fengju glared at Wang Hui fiercely. This little girl was really spoiled by them.
Wang Hui quickly nodded in agreement and promised, "Mom, I really understand! I promise not to do it again."
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng bought two bottles of soda at the supply and marketing point. They sat under a big tree near the point, enjoying the cool air and talking while drinking soda.
Cicadas were chirping in the trees. Wang Ying and his girlfriend, who looked like they were just dating, didn't take a nap in the middle of the day. Instead, they went out on a date and drank soda.
"Didn't you have enough for lunch?" Zhao Yunsheng asked Wang Ying.
"Yeah. I have no appetite because it's hot." Wang Ying said.
"On the way home, if we see anything delicious, we'll buy some," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying smiled and turned to look at Zhao Yunsheng. The shadows of the trees cast spots of light on him. He was looking at Wang Ying with a smile on his lips. He looked so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
"Was the letter this morning written by Bai Tong?" Wang Ying suddenly asked.
"Yes, I sent him a manuscript. Although it was rejected again, he revised it for me." When Zhao Yunsheng talked about this, the corners of his mouth curved upwards more and more, and he was very happy in his heart.
"Come on, great writer!" Wang Ying touched Zhao Yunsheng's soda bottle with his own. Zhao Yunsheng laughed, tilted his head back and drank up the soda at the bottom of the bottle. Wang Ying also drank up the last soda in the bottle.
"Give it to me. I'll go return the bottle. You wait here." Zhao Yunsheng took the bottle from Wang Ying and ran to the supply and marketing point.
Zhao Yunsheng quickly ran back, and the two of them stood under the tree and talked for a while before heading towards the Du family.
After returning to the Du family, Du Wenxiu and Du Wenli surrounded Wang Ying and chatted with her, asking her all sorts of questions, their tones incredibly polite. This reminded Wang Ying of the difficulties these two had faced in her past life, and she suddenly felt like laughing. This life, ah, is really good.
Wang Hui and Li Fengju came out of the room. Wang Hui saw the two nuns trying to please Wang Ying, and her face immediately turned ugly. They must have done it on purpose!
Li Fengju sat down next to Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng and said, "Yingzi, Yunsheng, I'll have to ask your eldest sister to introduce Huihui to a good obstetrician and gynecologist."
Wang Ying glanced at Wang Hui's belly. It was really big. Wang Hui would definitely suffer while giving birth.
"Has she had a check-up before? Which doctor did she see? She will definitely need a prenatal check-up later. We will then find this doctor. She knows my younger sister's condition best." Wang Ying didn't want to take on this matter for Zhao Yunfei. What if Wang Hui had a difficult delivery and then she could blame the doctor.
Li Fengju hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Huihui's belly is too big, let's go to the hospital and see what the doctor says. The doctor we had before was very good, so let's go back to her. Why not go today?"
"Ah? I don't want to go. It's so hot!" said Wang Hui.
Li Fengju said, "It's our day off today. We're all here, so we can go with you. Otherwise, you'd have to ask for leave. Let's go! Let's go now."
Du Jianguo still cherished the baby in Wang Hui's belly very much. He stood up and said, "Huihui, go ahead. I'll go tell Mom."
Du Jianguo went to the kitchen, and after a while, Sun Qiaoling came back with Du Jianguo.
"Huihui, then you should go and get checked. After the checkup, everyone will feel at ease." Sun Qiaoling said.
Wang Hui couldn't help but feel proud when she saw so many people caring about her. She patted her belly and said, "Okay, let's go get a checkup."
"Fengju, are you and Huihui going together? If you go, I won't go. I have a lot of things to do at home." Sun Qiaoling said.
"Well, you go ahead with your work, we'll go." Li Fengju was worried about her daughter and she wouldn't feel at ease unless she asked the doctor herself.
They went as soon as they said they would. Old Wang and his wife and Wang Hui and her husband quickly got ready to go out, and Wang Ying and the others followed suit.
After they walked a long way away, Li Fengju remembered that the Du family had not given any return gifts... She thought to herself that they might have forgotten about it, and did not mention it to Wang Yongren.
When they reached a fork in the road, Wang Ying called out to Li Fengju and the others, "Mom and Dad, Yunsheng and I are going back first."
"Don't you want to go to the hospital quickly?" Li Fengju shouted.
"No, I'm not going. I have something else to do. What's there to be afraid of with so many of you following me?" As Wang Ying said this, Zhao Yunsheng had already turned the car.
Li Fengju could only sigh.
Wang Ying sneered inwardly, how many people would be needed for a prenatal checkup?
Zhao Yunsheng drove Wang Ying and did not go home directly. Instead, he turned and bought a bag of smoked barbecued meat and two vegetarian chickens, which were all Wang Ying's favorites.
When they got home, no one was there.
"Maybe she went to her eldest or second sister's house," Zhao Yunsheng said. "I'll make you a bowl of noodles. Would you like to have some smoked meat with it?"
"I'll cook it myself, you go upstairs and read the letter." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng chuckled and said, "Yingzi is the best to me and understands me the best."
"Go ahead, just leave the meat." Wang Ying said with a smile.
Zhao Yunsheng took the paper bag off the handlebars and handed it to Wang Ying. After Wang Ying took it, he went straight to the kitchen.
Zhao Yunsheng followed to the kitchen door and said a few words to Wang Ying. Only when Wang Ying sent him away did he go upstairs.
Meanwhile, Wang Hui and her friends arrived at the hospital. To their surprise, the doctor explained that while fetal size is related to how much a pregnant woman eats, the correlation isn't significant, primarily due to genetics and individual constitution. However, if a pregnant woman gains significantly more weight than before pregnancy, it's not good for both the child and the mother, so she should still maintain a healthy diet.
After examining Wang Hui, the doctor said that the fetus in her belly was indeed too large, and told them to go to the hospital to give birth and never give birth at home to avoid accidents.
Wang Hui then became truly frightened and asked, "What kind of accident could happen?"
The doctor said: "The fetus is large, the delivery process may be longer, and it is safer to be in the hospital." In fact, the doctor just wanted to say that there might be a difficult delivery, but seeing that Wang Hui was young, he was afraid of scaring her, so he said that.
Li Fengju understood and quickly thanked the doctor, saying that she would come to the hospital when the time came.
After leaving the hospital, Li Fengju was still worried and kept reminding Wang Hui and Du Jianguo to be careful.
Du Jianguo was also a little scared, fearing that something might happen to Wang Hui, and even more afraid that something might happen to the baby in Wang Hui's belly. After returning home, he treated Wang Hui even better.
A few days later, Li Fengju gave Wang Hui two hundred yuan, and besides urging her to take care of her health, she didn't say much else. Wang Hui had money again, but she was already pregnant, so it was inconvenient for her to go out, and her family was keeping a close eye on her, so she didn't have much opportunity to spend it lavishly.
Wang Ying went to work and came home regularly every day, occasionally meeting with Zhou Xiaoqin, Gu Mei and others on her days off. A month passed quickly, and at the end of July, Zhao Yunfang gave birth to a boy in the hospital.
After get off work, Wang Ying and his family went to the hospital to see Zhao Yunfang and the baby.
When Zhao Yunsheng saw his eldest nephew, he was delighted: "The nephew looks like his uncle, and this kid looks like me!"
Wang Ying leaned over to take a look, and they didn’t look alike at all. The other baby looked like his father, not him at all!
Zhao Yunfang didn't indulge him and said, "Bah, he looks like his father."
"Oh, it looks like me." Zhao Yunsheng said shamelessly.
Dong Zhiyuan reported the child and said, "When you and Yingzi have a child, it will definitely look like you. Don't even think about stealing my son away!"
Everyone in the ward laughed, and Zhao Yunsheng looked at Wang Ying with a smile.
The family gathered around to look at Bao Bao and Zhao Yunfang. Wang Ying whispered to Zhao Yunsheng, "Are you envious? Are you anxious?"
"No rush." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Really not in a hurry?"
"Well, everything comes first for you," said Zhao Yunsheng.
The family gathered around Zhao Yunfang, who suddenly said to Wang Ying, "Yingzi, I visited your mother and your younger sister today."
"My younger sister came for the check-up. She is due to give birth next month," said Wang Ying.
"Yes, her belly is quite big. It seems that she needs to be hospitalized early." Zhao Yunfang said, "Look, I gave birth to a boy. Your mother and your younger sister are not happy. It's as if the boy I gave birth to was really replaced by your younger sister's belly."
"They are so ignorant. Just ignore them." Wang Ying said unhappily.
Chen Xiuqin sighed and said, "It would be best if your little sister gave birth to a boy. If she gave birth to a girl, she would be pitiful."
In a family that favors boys over girls, girls are bound to be pitiful.
