Wu Caie grabbed a cucumber, finished speaking, and took a big bite.
The refreshing scent of cucumbers wafted around on the evening breeze.
“I agree with that. My son’s name is also humble. Look, he has grown up peacefully and even got married. Not long ago, my daughter-in-law became pregnant. She is already three months along, but I haven’t told you yet.”
Xie looked smug. She had known about this news for over a month, but had kept it to herself until now, and was finally able to say it.
"Oh my, Shit-dan's wife is pregnant? She's only been married for three months and she's already pregnant. Her belly is really working hard. You're so lucky. Your son is filial and your daughter-in-law is good too. Unlike my wife, who's been married for more than two months and there's still no sign of pregnancy. If she still doesn't get pregnant in two more months, I'll get her some folk remedies to try."
Hearing this, Liu Guixiang, who was sitting on the outside, was furious.
The two families' wives were married off one after the other. Shi Dan's wife was already three months pregnant, while his daughter-in-law wasn't even pregnant yet.
Thinking of this, Liu Guixiang wanted to rush into the house and give her daughter-in-law a good scolding.
"What's the rush? It's only been two months. Do you know Yan's youngest daughter-in-law? She's Wang Jingshui, the girl from the Wang family! She's been married for so long, and her belly hasn't gotten any bigger. Unlike Xiaohe, even though she only gave birth to a granddaughter, Yan cherishes her so much. My husband and I went to the full moon banquet before, and I've never seen anything like it in my life. Even the county magistrate's wife sent a gift. I ate so much that day, the table was full of good food, goodness, even better than what we ate during the New Year."
Zhang Huilan's mouth watered as she recalled the scene of the banquet that day.
"Giving birth to such a worthless baby and treating her like this? Tch. In my family, let alone a full moon celebration, we wouldn't even let her stay during her postpartum period. She still has the nerve to hold a full moon celebration. It's such a waste. Why not save the money for our future grandchildren? Why do we have to spend it on this worthless baby? I really don't understand."
After an old woman who didn't get along with Yan Xia finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Although women are not as good as men.
But it doesn't have to be treated so badly. Everyone here has a daughter or granddaughter at home.
No one responded to her.
The old woman pursed her lips and said nothing more.
"Oh my, here comes just like I said! Isn't this Yan's youngest daughter-in-law? Jingshui, you've gone back to your parents' home—"
Zhang Huilan spotted Wang Jingshui from a great distance.
She shouted loudly.
The couple, who had intended to turn back, couldn't pretend they hadn't heard anything.
The only way was to walk towards the big tree.
"Jingshui, you've gone back to your parents' home. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why is Jinlu helping you?"
Seeing Chang Lu supporting Jing Shui as if she were a precious treasure, Zhang Huilan asked him curiously.
"Yes, I'm not feeling well."
Wang Jingshui made up an excuse because she couldn't tell anyone she was less than three months pregnant.
"Really? Then hurry back and rest. It's chilly at night, don't catch a cold."
Zhang Huilan's husband works at Yan Xia's cattle farm.
Regardless of what people gossip about in private, she still publicly supports Yan Xia's family and naturally shows great concern for Wang Jingshui.
"Ha, what a pretentious woman. You've been married into the family for so long and still haven't been able to have a child. You still have the nerve to come to the village entrance and show off. It's only because Yan Shi likes to pretend and spoil you. In my family, it would be good if I didn't beat you up."
Liu Pozi, who had just silenced everyone, spoke up again.
Zhang Huilan's smiling expression immediately froze.
She didn't know how to respond, and the room fell silent once again.
"So your family is poor, so poor that you eat wild vegetable porridge every day, so poor that when it rains heavily outside, it drizzles inside your house. Do you know why? Because you're immoral. Immoral people don't deserve to enjoy good fortune. You even tried to hit my wife. Go ahead and hit her! I'll send you to jail for three to five months and see if you dare to be so arrogant again. What a piece of trash! You're about to go to your grave and your mouth is still so sharp. Didn't you get beaten up when you were young? If your mouth is itchy, go dig a hard piece of shit from the latrine and rub it on. Don't just spew filth here. Jing Shui, let's go. Tomorrow we'll go back to town and eat and drink well. Oh, by the way, Mom bought you a pair of gold bracelets. Remember to wear them when you get back. Let's not be angry. Don't pay any attention to this old bastard..."
Chang Lu unleashed his full fury, berating Granny Liu until she was trembling, but he acted as if nothing had happened, helping Jing Shui away.
He walked along, showing off as he went.
Granny Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Only after the two had disappeared from sight did Granny Liu recover.
"You beast! Your family will fall from grace sooner or later. A gold bracelet? A barren hen doesn't even deserve a wooden bracelet. I'll be waiting for the day your Yan family falls on hard times!"
After saying that, Granny Liu left.
She had a grudge against Yan Xia.
It's simply because Yan Xia wouldn't let her become a flower farmer.
From that moment on, Granny Liu hated Yan Xia.
Back at the Wang family home, Chang Lu had already appeased Wang Jingshui.
With his help, Wang Jingshui quickly washed herself and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, while it was still dark, Wang Yuanshan carefully got out of bed, dressed, and left the house.
He has to deliver goods today, so he has to rush to town before dawn.
After he left, more than an hour passed. As dawn broke, Xu Chunxia got up, kneaded the dough, rolled out a thin pancake, cut it into small pieces, and cooked it in chicken broth. This was chicken noodle soup. While the noodles were cooking, she also stir-fried a side dish. Then she quickly called the couple to get up, wash, and eat.
Noodles should not be left out for too long.
Hui Tuo.
At Chen Shi (7-9 AM), the second carriage left the Wang family's residence.
Xu Chunxia stood at her doorstep waving goodbye, her eyes filled with reluctance.
The carriage left Baihua Village and headed towards the town.
Chang Lu was driving the carriage outside, while Wang Jingshui sat inside, eating snacks.
"Wife, is it too bumpy? Should we slow it down? Are you feeling unwell?" The carriage was moving at least half the speed it had yesterday.
Chang Lu dared not take the side paths anymore, since the road conditions on the side paths were not as smooth as those on the main roads.
Worried about his wife's health, he lifted the curtain again and asked.
"It's not bumpy. It's only been a short time, and you've already asked me three times. It really isn't bumpy. You can go on your way." Wang Jingshui was somewhat speechless.
She's not that delicate.
Forget feeling uncomfortable, she was so comfortable she wanted to take a nap.
If you dare to think it, you dare to do it.
Wang Jingshui really did fall asleep.
When she woke up, the carriage had just entered the Yan residence.
At this moment, Yan Xia was bored and sat in the courtyard, playing cards with the maids.
"Royal flush! Hahaha, Xiao Su, you lost. Three flicks on the forehead, lower your head." Yan Xia raised her right hand, gently blew on her fingers, and flicked them towards Xiao Su's forehead.
"clatter--"
"Ouch, Master, that hurts!" Xiao Su's forehead instantly turned red.
Yan Xia was a little embarrassed. She had already held back her strength, so why did her skin turn red with just a light touch?
It's true that being too strong isn't good either.
If you don't handle it properly, you can easily hurt someone.
"Hehe, I used too much force. Let's wipe off the remaining two times and continue."
