Chapter 158: Not Accepting Her Kindness
"I just suddenly felt that there is actually nothing important. Why do I feel that I must tell you about it?" Cen Yan said this and was also asking himself.
"So? What's the matter?" When Ji Yunzhan heard her words, his heart felt like he had eaten honey, and pieces of sweetness kept spreading.
"My mother is pregnant!" Cen Yan said happily.
"Really? Congratulations. That means you will have another brother or sister. Do you prefer a brother or a sister?" Seeing that she was happy, Ji Yunzhan was happy too.
"Hmm..." Cen Yan thought seriously and said quickly, "It's all good, but it's still better to have a younger sister!"
"Don't you like your brother?" Ji Yunzhan asked.
"Not really, I just feel that I want a sister who is caring and considerate, like Brother Yang. Even though he always likes to follow me around now, when he grows up, he will only think about his wife!" Cen Yan said with a frown, as if she had already foreseen the future when Cen Yang got married and would stick to his wife all day long.
"Haha!" Ji Yunzhan was amused by her words, "From this point of view, my sister is indeed considerate. However, your mother is pregnant, so what is your grandparents' attitude?"
"Their attitude? It doesn't matter." Upon hearing this, Cen Yan replied with some sarcasm.
Then, she told Ji Yunzhan everything that happened before and after Li's pregnancy.
Ji Yunzhan had long experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world, and his heart was as calm as water.
But when he heard Cen Yan talk about her experience, he still felt angry.
It was as if he had just experienced all of this.
"Cen Yan, you have to be careful." After thinking for a while, Ji Yunzhan showed a worried look on his face. "Even though you and your mother don't have to work during this period with the help of Doctor Zhou, your mother can have a good rest and take good care of the baby, and you have to take good care of her, but it is not certain that these people in the old Cen family will not harm your mother."
"I know that this time when my aunt came back, she actually reconciled with my aunt-in-law... This matter itself is not a simple one. I will pay attention to it." Upon hearing this, Cen Yan nodded solemnly.
She talked to Ji Yunzhan about some business matters and the progress of building the house.
Then she went down the mountain and went home to take care of Li.
Cen Yan came out today with the excuse that she was going up the mountain to collect herbs to help Li's pregnancy.
Cen Dahai still has to go to the fields to work every day.
Li was alone at home, with only the young Cen Yang by her side. Naturally, she was worried, so she asked Cen Ying to look after him.
Of course, Cen Ying couldn't stay close to Li and serve her, so he could only stare at her and prevent Gao and the others from having any chance to contact Li.
Cen Ying couldn't reveal the fact that she was standing with Cen Yan at this time.
Therefore, the attitude towards the second wife remains as bad as before.
When Cen Yan returned home, she was very surprised to find that their second room was quite lively.
It turned out that the eldest aunt, the younger aunt, the eldest aunt's wife, as well as the third aunt and the eldest aunt's wife were all there.
When he saw them, Cen Yan couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
Seeing Cen Yan coming back, the eldest aunt Cen Fang first stood up and walked to her, holding her hand affectionately, and asked with concern: "Xiao Yan is back? I heard from your mother that you went to the mountains to collect herbs? What herbs did you collect?"
"These are all the instructions from Doctor Zhou. Aunt doesn't know any medicine and doesn't recognize herbs. Even if I tell you, you won't understand." Cen Yan frowned and said, then put the basket containing the herbs directly into his room.
She was worried that Cen Fang would do something with these herbs.
After all, everything has the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint.
Some herbs may be life-saving when taken with one other, but may be fatal when taken with another.
These herbs came from her hands. If anything unexpected happened to Li, it would be her fault.
Thinking of the fact that Li’s child in the previous life was not saved, Cen Yan felt heartbroken.
In her previous life, it was because of her ignorance that she killed the child in Li's belly.
In this life, no matter what, she will never make the same mistake again!
When Cen Fang saw that Cen Yan was so alert, she frowned and looked a little unhappy.
But she still remembered the purpose of coming here today, so she quickly smiled and said, "Xiaoyan is really filial, sensible and smart. I couldn't believe it when she said she was learning medicine before, but she can even pick herbs, which shows that she does know some medical skills. Second sister-in-law, you are really blessed."
"That's right." Li looked at Cen Yan with gentle eyes. She seemed to like others praising Cen Yan. At this time, she smiled and said, "It is a blessing for me to have a daughter like Xiaoyan in three lifetimes."
"It is my blessing to be your daughter." Cen Yan walked to Li's side and was relieved to see that she was drinking a glass of water.
Her eyes made brief contact with Cen Ying.
Cen Ying nodded at her.
That is to say, it is not abnormal for the time being.
This made Cen Yan feel a little confused.
It's impossible that Cen Fang and Gao came here just to chat with Li, right?
However, no matter how confused she was, the few people sitting here were really just chatting and laughing with Li and talking about family matters.
This was a strange situation that had never occurred in the second room before.
After all, in the past, whenever Gao and Yu came to the second house, they were basically looking for trouble, and it was definitely not the case that they came to cultivate feelings.
It was not until almost noon, when it was time for each family to go back to their own rooms to eat, that Gao and Yu got up.
Cen Fang just sat there without moving.
"I've been back for two or three days. Before, I always had meals in the main room. Today, I want to stay in the second room for noon and have a good talk with my brother and sister-in-law. Cen Yan, what delicious food are you going to make for your mother at noon?" Cen Fang looked at Cen Yan with a smile and said.
Upon hearing this, Cen Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
So, the real purpose of sitting here for half a day is to wait for this moment?
Do you want to find out about their second wife's background, or what?
"Aunt, how can our second branch afford to entertain you? We never eat at noon. But my mother is pregnant now, so I plan to make her a bowl of wild vegetable soup. Aunt, it's not that I don't want to entertain you. The truth is, this wild vegetable soup is only for my mother, and there is no leftover. You should go back to the main branch and eat with grandpa and grandma." Cen Yan rudely rejected her intention to stay for dinner.
"No way? Is it so difficult for your second branch? How about this, I'll pay and you go to the butcher at the village entrance to buy a pound of meat for your mother to eat, how about that?" Cen Fang pretended to be generous.
"No, there's no reward without merit. My aunt is short of money and it's not easy for her. We, the second branch, won't take advantage of her." However, Cen Yan was not moved at all and still insisted on inviting her out.
Her lack of appreciation made Cen Fang's face suddenly turn ugly.
