Chapter 79 Pregnancy "You are sisters, Mom will remember you well. ...
"Do you really want to go?" Du Jianguo said.
"Isn't this exactly what you want? I knew you wanted to go!" said Wang Hui.
Du Jianguo suppressed his anger. "What on earth are you trying to achieve by making such a fuss? How dissatisfied are you with me?"
Wang Hui felt a little frightened when she saw Du Jianguo like this. She said, "Who's making trouble? Let's go to my eldest sister's house."
Du Jianguo didn't speak to Wang Hui again during the entire journey. Before their marriage, he'd thought Wang Hui was gentle, sensible, hardworking, and beautiful. Now, after just over three months, Du Jianguo felt that Wang Hui's beauty was all that remained. Even this remaining beauty was volatile. Sometimes, when Wang Hui lost her temper or spoke harshly about his family, Du Jianguo only saw her face as ferocious.
When Wang Ying and his friends left, they'd promised to be back quickly. By the time they reached Jiefang Road, the sky had brightened and was about to rise. After buying their wool, they decided to go shopping again and stock up on some New Year's goods for the holiday.
When Wang Hui and his wife arrived at Zhao's house, Wang Ying and his family had not returned yet.
Li Fengju was very happy to see Wang Hui and her friends coming. She hoped that Wang Ying and her sister would love each other and support each other. Seeing that Wang Hui took the initiative to visit her elder sister, she felt that Wang Hui was well-behaved and sensible.
Chen Xiuqin politely entertained the two, poured them tea, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! You're all here, but Yingzi and the others are out."
After Wang Hui entered the Zhao family, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. When she saw Chen Xiuqin, she felt even more uncomfortable. She kept thinking of the countless quarrels she had with Chen Xiuqin in her previous life.
Du Jianguo first said politely: "Excuse me, auntie." Wang Huicai followed up with this.
After they drank a few sips of tea, Wang Hui asked Li Fengju, "Mom, why don't you see Dad?"
"He has something to do and didn't come." Li Fengju said.
Wang Hui uttered an "oh" as she glanced at the Zhao family's main hall. It felt much the same as in her previous life: the windows were clean and the room was neat and tidy. She had to admit that compared to the Du family, the Zhao family's was much brighter and more spacious. But what good was that? No matter how big the house was, it was useless if there were unpleasant people living in it.
"How are you doing at the factory?" Li Fengju asked Wang Hui.
"It's okay." Wang Hui felt unhappy at the mention of the factory. In fact, she didn't want to work that shift anymore. But she didn't dare say it. Du Wenxiu's leg hadn't fully recovered yet. If she didn't work that shift, the Du family would lose a salary, and neither her mother-in-law nor Du Wenxiu would agree.
"Sister, is your work going well?" Wang Hui asked Chen Xiuqin. She felt comforted when she thought about how Wang Ying had caused such a big trouble in the factory and that things probably weren't going well either.
Chen Xiuqin smiled and said, "It's going well. The project she's been in charge of since joining the factory is almost finished. The factory leaders think highly of her, and her subordinates respect her too."
"I heard that she developed a new product." Du Jianguo said.
Wang Hui glanced at Du Jianguo and thought he talked too much.
"That's true," Chen Xiuqin said. "We don't have any at home, otherwise we could let you try it. But it's coming soon, and it will be distributed by the end of the year. The new product tastes very good. Your eldest sister has done a great job this time."
When Wang Hui heard that the Zhao family had no new products, she felt annoyed again. She didn't get the new products from the non-staple food factory, and Du Wenli would definitely make trouble with her again when she got home.
"Didn't you hear something happened? Didn't it affect her?" Wang Hui asked again. Her tone didn't sound concerned, but rather like she had to find out what was wrong with Wang Ying before she was satisfied.
Chen Xiuqin smiled and said, "It has had an impact. She has uncovered many corrupt officials in the factory. Even the higher-ups praised her for her ability and talent!"
Hearing Chen Xiuqin praising Wang Ying like this, Wang Hui felt even more annoyed. Thinking about how Chen Xiuqin had always been critical of her in her previous life, but was so nice to Wang Ying now, Wang Hui felt that she couldn't stay in the Zhao family for even a minute.
Li Fengju could see Wang Hui's expression and was afraid that Wang Hui would say something unpleasant, so she said, "We don't know when Yingzi and the others will be back. Why don't we go home first? Huihui, you can come back with me too. We can come back next time."
Chen Xiuqin said hurriedly, "My dear in-laws, you are talking nonsense. Yingzi and the others just went out to buy some wool and will be back soon. If you leave now, how can I tell Yingzi to wait a little longer? Please sit here. I will go and steam the rice first."
With that, Chen Xiuqin went to the kitchen, leaving the main room open for the Wang family mother and daughter to talk. Li Fengju could tell Wang Hui was unhappy, and so could Chen Xiuqin. She could also tell that Wang Hui seemed to be very resistant to her, and she didn't know where she had offended her. She was fine, but she came over and gave the host a bad face. I don't know what's wrong with her.
In the main room, Li Fengju whispered, "Huihui, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy." Li Fengju initially thought that Wang Hui came to see Wang Ying, but the way she looked now didn't seem like it.
"It's nothing, I just feel annoyed." Wang Hui said.
"What's bothering you? Tell mom. We're in someone else's house. Don't look so sullen. It doesn't look good." Li Fengju said patiently to Wang Hui.
"Then let's go to my house." After hearing what her mother said, Wang Hui not only did not calm down, but became even more annoyed.
"Look at you! Everything Mom said was for your own good. What are you doing? You came here because you wanted to." Du Jianguo was also angered by Wang Hui's thorny appearance. Before they got married, she was so gentle and kind. Was it all a lie? Now Du Jianguo also felt that his family was being schemed against by the Tong family.
"Jianguo, you are not allowed to talk about Huihui." Li Fengju glared at Du Jianguo.
Du Jianguo fell silent. Wang Hui, too, simply slumped over the table. She was truly filled with a thousand frustrations, exhaustion, and unhappiness, and she couldn't find an outlet. She said she wanted to go home, but she didn't really want to go back to the Du family, but to the Wang family, back to her parents' home where she was infinitely favored.
Li Fengju sighed. Wang Hui must be unhappy in the Du family. A woman's happiness in her husband's family is written all over her face. Li Fengju felt that Wang Hui's face had changed, and she looked miserable. Thinking that her daughter was only nineteen after the New Year, Li Fengju felt both distressed and regretful.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng finally came back with lots of bags, and they walked into the courtyard chatting and laughing.
Li Fengju heard the voices and went out to greet them: "Yunsheng, Yingzi, you are back!"
When Wang Ying saw her mother, as well as Wang Hui and Du Jianguo sitting in the main room, the smile on her face faded slightly.
"Mom, when did you come?" Wang Ying said lightly.
Li Fengju said, "I came this morning. You bought a lot of things. Your mother-in-law said you only bought wool."
Zhao Yunsheng lifted the New Year's goods in his hand and said, "I just bought it when I saw it. The New Year is coming soon, so I bought it early and settled down sooner."
"That's true." Li Fengju said, "Your younger sister and the others are here too."
"I saw it."
Zhao Yunsheng and Wang Ying entered the main room carrying large and small bags.
Du Jianguo stood up and greeted them: "Sister, brother-in-law."
Zhao Yunsheng had no good feelings towards Wang Hui and her husband, but since they were guests, he politely said, "Please sit down."
After Wang Ying and the others returned, the atmosphere became even more awkward. Wang Ying sat in the main room for only a few minutes before saying, "I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Yunsheng, you stay with the guests."
Li Fengju felt like she was stung by a wasp. "Guest"... In her daughter's eyes, she was just a guest.
Wang Ying went to the kitchen and saw Chen Xiuqin cutting bacon.
"Why don't you talk to your mother?" Chen Xiuqin said.
Wang Ying didn't respond, only asking, "Should I steam or fry the bacon?"
"It's up to you. Whatever you want to eat? I'll wait for you to come back and see what to make, and then go buy some vegetables." Chen Xiuqin said, "Your father disappeared as soon as he left, and he hasn't been home yet."
"Just eat something." Wang Ying said.
Chen Xiuqin smiled and said, "How can that be? After all, they are your family. If you neglect your family, it means you don't value your daughter-in-law. I don't want to be a bad mother-in-law."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "When Beichong selects the best mother-in-law, you will definitely win first place."
Chen Xiuqin laughed so hard that her voice could be heard all the way to the main hall. When Li Fengju heard this, she felt so sad. She really wanted to hear what Wang Ying said to her mother-in-law that made her so happy! Why was she so cold and indifferent to her own mother?
Zhao Yunsheng was originally a person who could liven up the atmosphere, but when he thought of Du Jianguo's look last time and Wang Hui's weird way of calling him to get it, he felt unhappy and just chatted with them in a random manner.
Wang Hui remained silent, her face cold, and those who didn't know her might think she was here to collect a debt. Li Fengju winked at her, but it was no use, so she just let her be.
Wang Ying, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared the meal and brought it to the main room.
"You are so kind, my in-laws, for cooking so many dishes." Li Fengju stood up and took the dishes.
"Of course not. It's a rare visit from you guys," Chen Xiuqin said. "Old Zhao probably won't be back for dinner. Let's eat. Yunsheng, you and Jianguo, have a couple of drinks?"
Du Jianguo quickly said, "No need, auntie, we can just eat." Wang Hui didn't like him drinking, so he didn't dare to drink even if he wanted to.
Zhao Yunsheng didn't want to drink with Du Jianguo either. He thought drinking with a close friend was more enjoyable than drinking with someone like him. He said, "Let's have dinner."
Wang Hui looked at the dishes on the Zhao family's dining table: stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, braised tofu with snow apples, steamed egg custard, and pickled cabbage, all of which were delicious and fragrant.
"Eat it, it's home-cooked food, don't be disgusted." Chen Xiuqin said as she picked up the food with her chopsticks.
"You're so polite! This dish can only be eaten during Chinese New Year." Li Fengju also picked up some food.
Wang Hui looked at the food on the table and drooled like crazy. It was not her fault. She ate very poorly at the Du family. Even if she sneaked a snack, it was not as delicious as the greasy fried bacon.
Wang Hui originally wanted to be more reserved and only eat two pieces, but she couldn't control her hands at all. The more she ate, the more she wanted to eat, and the more she ate, the more she couldn't stop. Li Fengju winked at her, and Du Jianguo also secretly pushed her under the table, trying to tell her to pay attention.
Li Fengju looked at Wang Hui's greedy look and lost her appetite - she didn't know what kind of life Huihui was having in the Du family... Li Fengju originally wanted to visit her eldest daughter and show her concern, but now her heart was completely occupied by her youngest daughter.
Wang Hui ate something, but Chen Xiuqin didn't mind. After all, the living conditions were not very good now, and not every family could afford the food. She even politely advised Wang Hui to eat more.
Wang Hui knew she looked ugly when eating, but she couldn't help herself. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just kept wanting to eat. By the end of the meal, she had eaten most of the bacon and several spoonfuls of egg custard.
Du Jianguo felt that Wang Hui had embarrassed him and wanted to go home after dinner.
Li Fengju didn't want to stay either. She wanted to follow Wang Hui to the Du family again. Her daughter was so greedy, what did the Du family give her to eat?
After eating and drinking her fill, Wang Hui began to save face again. She didn't dare to look at Wang Ying's face, thinking that her elder sister must look down on her, and she also said she wanted to go back.
A few people came to Wang Ying, without saying a word of concern, and after having a hearty meal, they were ready to leave. Of course, Wang Ying didn't want to keep them.
Chen Xiuqin was polite, but she could tell they really wanted to leave. So she gave Li Fengju a bag of dried longans and red dates she had prepared earlier, asking her to take them back as a return gift. Li Fengju refused, and the two of them, one insisting on giving them away and the other refusing, argued back and forth in the yard.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "vomiting". It was Wang Hui who was standing next to the bicycle. She vomited all the food she had eaten at noon in the yard of Zhao's house.
"Huihui!" Li Fengju and Du Jianguo were frightened and hurried to see Wang Hui.
Chen Xiuqin was also startled. She put the things in her hand on the back seat of Li Fengju's bicycle and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng were standing at the door. When they saw Wang Hui suddenly vomit, they also came forward to see what was going on.
Wang Hui was still vomiting, grabbing Du Jianguo's arm, her back arched from vomiting.
"Jianguo, Jianguo, quickly carry Huihui to the car and send her to the hospital!" Chen Xiuqin said hurriedly. She was terrified. The person had eaten at her house. Don't let her get poisoned or something, otherwise they would really be in trouble!
"Don't sit next to me, sit astride me." Li Fengju helped Wang Hui onto the bicycle and said, "Huihui, hold on to Jianguo. Be careful not to get your feet caught."
"Yunsheng, go find a rope and tie Huihui and Jianguo together to prevent them from falling down the road." Chen Xiuqin said again.
Zhao Yunsheng ran to the utility room and took a hemp rope for Chen Xiuqin, tied Wang Hui around Du Jianguo's waist, and then went out to the hospital.
On the way, Wang Hui retched several times, but nothing came out. She hugged Du Jianguo weakly.
Li Fengju, Chen Xiuqin, Wang Ying, and Zhao Yunsheng all followed him to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Chen Xiuqin hurried to find Zhao Yunfei, who called the emergency room for Wang Hui, claiming she had food poisoning.
When they arrived at the clinic, the doctor asked some questions and said that the family had eaten together at noon and had eaten ordinary food. Only Wang Hui vomited, so they didn't think it was food poisoning.
"Are you married?" the doctor asked.
"We got married." Wang Ying said.
The doctor then asked, "When was your last period?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but no one thought that Wang Hui might be pregnant!
"I, I don't remember, but it's been over a month." Wang Hui subconsciously touched her belly. Could she really be pregnant? While Wang Hui was happy, her first thought was that she wouldn't have to go to work. Her second thought was that she was definitely going to have a son this time, and even earlier than her older sister!
The doctor looked at Wang Hui's eyes, her tongue, and her nails, then asked her, "Are you still feeling any reaction? Are you feeling sad? Is there any pain? Is your tongue numb? Can you see clearly?"
"Just, I feel... a little hungry," Wang Hui said. "I don't feel anything else. My tongue isn't numb, and I can see things clearly."
The doctor said, "She might be pregnant. Let's do a blood test, just to be safe."
Du Jianguo took Wang Hui to have a blood test, while Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng were waiting outside the treatment room.
Li Fengju was happy, but more worried, worried that Wang Hui would have a baby too early, which would be bad for her health. But now that she was pregnant, it was a mixed bag...
Chen Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a stomach upset or food poisoning!
Zhao Yunfei came over and asked, "Where's Wang Huiren? How's she? What did the doctor say?"
"I just went for a blood test and the doctor said I might be pregnant," said Chen Xiuqin.
Zhao Yunfei smiled and said, "That's a good thing!"
"That's right." Chen Xiuqin also laughed.
Zhao Yunfei and Wang Ying said, "That's fine, Yingzi. Why don't you come to my office and sit down? I'm free now."
"Okay." Wang Ying agreed, and he and Zhao Yunsheng followed Zhao Yunfei to her office.
After arriving at the office, Zhao Yunfei said, "Yingzi, I remember your younger sister seemed to be still young, right?"
"Well, after the 19th day of the lunar year." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunfei shook her head: "Too young, too young. Having a baby so early is not good for adults."
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng both knew this and nodded.
Zhao Yunfei added, "It would be best for Yingzi to wait another two years before having a child. Waiting until she's twenty-four or twenty-five would be ideal. We've seen many young women have accidents during childbirth in the hospital. It's no joke, and many have died from difficult births. Yunsheng, please don't rush Yingzi."
Zhao Yunsheng thought to himself that if he waited until Wang Ying was twenty-four or twenty-five, he would be in his early thirties... But as long as he was good to Wang Ying, it would be okay for him to wait for a few years.
"Then, shall we take some measures?" Zhao Yunsheng said.
Wang Ying rolled her eyes at him and said this in front of her elder sister!
Zhao Yunfei smiled and said, "It's best to take measures, just in case. I advise you to wait a few years before having children. I will also tell your parents not to rush you. We must believe in science and put the health of adults first."
"Okay, then you can explain it to your mother using scientific principles, and she will definitely listen to you," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Zhao Yunfei smiled and said, "I called you here just to talk about this matter. Nothing else matters."
"Thank you for the reminder, sister. When we are preparing for pregnancy, we will ask you about the precautions." Wang Ying said.
"Okay, let's prepare for pregnancy scientifically!" said Zhao Yunfei.
At this time, Zhao Yunsheng lowered his voice and said, "What did you say about my brother-in-law?"
The smile on Zhao Yunfei's face disappeared. She said, "He refused to admit it, and now he's trying hard to show off. The more he shows off, the more I think he's guilty. I don't think he'll last much longer."
"Where is your sister-in-law?" Wang Ying asked again.
"She's still the same," Zhao Yunfei said. "My brother-in-law is obsessed with her and knows nothing about her. Neither do my parents-in-law."
Zhao Yunsheng said angrily, "If you can't live together, then divorce me."
Zhao Yunfei smiled and said, "When I return to my parents' home, please don't dislike me!"
Wang Ying said quickly, "Sister, what are you talking about? That's your home."
"I'm still investigating. For Dongbao, I'll wait and see," Zhao Yunfei said. "Don't tell my parents. This isn't set in stone yet."
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng both nodded.
Chen Xiuqin accompanied Li Fengju and others outside the clinic. Du Jianguo and Wang Ying went to draw blood and returned to the clinic.
Li Fengju stood up and asked, "How do you feel now? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Wang Hui's mental state is now completely different from before. She has become softer and has a smile on her face.
"I don't feel anything, just a little hungry." Wang Hui said as she stroked her belly again. She was not pregnant at all, but it looked like she was pregnant for several months.
"Let's go back in and see the doctor," said Li Fengju.
Du Jianguo helped Wang Hui back into the examination room. The doctor looked at Wang Hui's face and asked, "Do you still feel anything?"
"I don't feel anything, I'm just hungry. Doctor, when can I get my test report?" Wang Hui asked.
"Come and get it the day after tomorrow," said the doctor.
Chen Xiuqin was still a little worried and said, "Doctor, it's definitely not food poisoning or something like that, right?"
Wang Hui felt unhappy when she heard what Chen Xiuqin said. She felt that Chen Xiuqin was cursing her because she couldn't bear to see her get pregnant. After all, her elder sister was not pregnant.
The doctor was the last person to make definitive statements. He said, "If you're worried, you can stay here a little longer, even a day, and observe."
Chen Xiuqin said, "Stay here for one day. We will pay for the hospitalization fees." Chen Xiuqin was afraid that Wang Hui would have an accident. After all, she had eaten at her house and vomited at her house.
"That won't work! Just ask them to give it themselves." Li Fengju said.
"Don't argue with me. I'll go find Yunfei and ask her to take it. You guys sit and wait." Chen Xiuqin said and went to the nurse's station.
Chen Xiuqin found Zhao Yunfei and the others and explained their purpose. Zhao Yunfei thought this was safer, so she took her to complete the hospitalization procedures.
Wang Hui was settled in, and Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng prepared to say hello and go home.
When they arrived at the ward, Wang Hui was half lying on the bed, with Li Fengju and Du Jianguo sitting beside the bed.
Seeing Wang Ying coming over, Wang Hui smiled at her and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here."
"We are going back." Wang Ying said, "You should be careful." Wang Ying remembered that in her previous life, Wang Hui had a miscarriage and was unable to have children. At that time, Wang Hui was not very old. She felt that it was very risky for Wang Hui to get pregnant now.
"I understand, big sister." Wang Hui was in a good mood. "You and your brother-in-law should also work hard."
Seeing Wang Hui's smug look, Wang Ying thought she was clueless and didn't have the heart to remind Wang Hui. Even if she did, Wang Hui wouldn't appreciate it and would even think she was jealous.
"Mom, we're leaving." Wang Ying said, turned and left the ward.
Li Fengju chased after her, called out to Wang Ying, and said, "Your younger sister is pregnant. If she can't get enough food, please help her if you can. You are sisters, and Mom will remember you well."
"Can't the Du and Wang families afford to support a pregnant woman?" Wang Ying said with a snort of laughter.
"No, I just need something nutritious right now, but I'm afraid it won't be available," Li Fengju explained.
"I understand. You go back and stay with your little girl. I'm going home." Wang Ying said and turned to leave.
Li Fenju chased Wang Ying for two more steps and said, "We'll definitely have to ask your sister-in-law for help when the time comes. What gift should we give her?"
Li Fengju's deep maternal love was truly moving. Wang Ying recalled her own pregnancy in her previous life, when she didn't receive such treatment. Instead, she heard her mother say several times: If Huihui hadn't aborted her child, she would be in high school now.
