The Gu family was still having dinner when they heard the sound of someone coming in the yard. Grandma Gu and Mother Gu looked at each other tacitly, and then they were on high alert.
The knowledgeable Grandma Gu went out to fight, while Mother Gu stayed behind to comfort her confused daughter-in-law.
"Mom, why do you and grandma look so nervous?"
"Shushu, you just arrived and you don't know what kind of person Old Lady Xu is. She never stops chattering. If you come here at this time, I'm afraid you want to know how many babies you are pregnant with.
If she finds out, everyone in our alley will know about it. Then our house will be full of people coming in and out, and we won't be able to live a peaceful life."
"Ah! Isn't this the enhanced version 2.0 of Hao Chunhong?" Shen Yunshu's words were full of disgust. She wanted to have some peace and quiet after she got pregnant, but she never had a peaceful life.
After dodging one, another one comes.
"What is the enhanced version 2.0?" After Mother Gu finished speaking, the other people at the dinner table turned their heads to look at Shen Yunshu, their cloudy eyes filled with big question marks.
Oops, I accidentally said a buzzword from the 21st century. Shen Yunshu, panicking but with a very calm expression, tried to make amends:
"She's just like Hao Chunhong, even worse than her."
Mother Gu smiled and said, "Shushu, Hao Chunhong is no match for Old Lady Xu. Although Old Lady Xu is a bit of a nag, she is also the warmest-hearted person in this alley.
When I was pregnant with Jiuyan, I accidentally fell down on the slippery road, and it was Old Lady Xu who took me to the hospital."
——It turns out that she is the savior of her own man. Shen Yunshu took back what he had just said about her and sincerely wished her a long life.
On the contrary, Father Gu, who was always quiet, became restless when he heard this: "Sheng Lian, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Mother Gu glanced at him coldly: "You were on a business trip in the northwest at the time. There was such a long distance between us. How could I tell you? Or, if I told you, would you be able to come back?"
To put it bluntly, Mother Gu just didn't want Father Gu to worry. After all, the doctor said there was nothing wrong, she could eat and drink, and the baby in her belly was healthy.
Father Gu's eyes turned redder and redder with guilt, and the next second tears burst out, and he kept apologizing to Mother Gu.
With so many eyes watching, Mother Gu felt uncomfortable and yelled, "You are crying like that! Hold back your tears!"
Father Gu stopped crying immediately.
Shen Yunshu, who was watching this scene, suddenly knew who her crybaby who always cried in front of her inherited his genes from.
It turned out to be the father-in-law in front of him, but I don’t know… Shen Yunshu turned his gaze to Grandpa Gu who was sitting opposite him.
"I'm a man with dignity. I wouldn't cry like a woman like him."
With a hint of guilt amidst his self-righteousness, Grandpa Gu would never admit that when he was young, he knelt on the washboard and cried and begged for forgiveness from his wife.
"You didn't even tell me in advance that you were coming back. I only found out from my old man." As Old Lady Xu spoke, she leaned her head forward and looked straight towards the main hall.
Seeing through her intention, Grandma Gu stepped forward unnoticeably to block her sight and said with a smile:
"I just got back, and the house is a little messy. I'll clean it up tomorrow and then invite you to come over and play."
This was clearly an attempt to drive people out. Old Lady Xu was not a fool, she could understand the meaning behind the words.
But thinking about the purpose of her visit today, she didn't want to give up.
"I haven't seen your granddaughter-in-law for a long time. I, an old woman, miss her very much. What is she doing? Is she eating in the house? I want to talk to her." As she spoke, she walked into the house.
Just when Grandma Gu didn't know what to do with her, Mother Gu came out of the house.
"My daughter-in-law is pregnant and gets tired easily. She fell asleep as soon as she got off the car and hasn't woken up yet. If you want to see her, I'll go wake her up."
Mrs. Xu took her first step and then retracted it: "It's easy to feel sleepy when you're pregnant. Since my granddaughter-in-law is asleep, I'll come back tomorrow."
Only after seeing Mrs. Xu walk away did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law return to the house.
Shen Yunshu said: "Did they leave?"
Mother Gu replied, "I'm leaving. Before I left, I said I'd come to see you tomorrow."
It's really true that Huang He never gives up. Seeing that he can't escape, Shen Yunshu simply gives up:
"Since they want to know, let them know. I'm about to give birth anyway, and gossiping behind my back won't last long."
"No way." Mother Gu was the first to disagree. If there was no other way, she would just lock the door. In any case, she couldn't let anyone disturb her daughter-in-law's pregnancy.
Grandpa Gu, who was anxious to hold the baby, had a gloomy face, and his voice as powerful as a bell drifted through the house.
"I'll figure out a way to deal with this."
The next day, Gu's mother and others who were waiting at home did not see Old Lady Xu, but they did receive news that the Xu family had to go back to their hometown for something.
This trip will last for three months.
At that time, Shen Yunshu was about to give birth, and the worries of the Gu family and Grandpa Shen disappeared.
Grandpa Gu, as the mastermind behind all this, was filled with joy as he watched everyone's admiring gazes.
As Shen Yunshu's grandparents, the old couple of the Lin family ran over quickly after learning that their pregnant granddaughter had moved back to the old house to take care of the baby.
After not seeing each other for some time, the old couple of the Lin family were frightened when they saw Shen Yunshu’s big belly.
"Shushu, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? You're pregnant now, and your body isn't the same as before. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away."
"Grandma, everything I eat tastes delicious. My babies and I are both healthy."
"Is the baby in your belly bothering you?"
"The kids are all very well behaved."
At this point, the old couple of the Lin family finally felt relieved.
It was almost noon, and at the invitation of Grandma Gu and Mother Gu, the old couple of the Lin family stayed for dinner.
The crucian carp that Grandpa Gu asked someone to get the day before yesterday finally came in handy today. Grandma Gu personally took charge of the cooking and made a pot of milky white crucian carp and tofu soup.
In addition, there are pork ribs stewed with potatoes, flavored eggplant, sugar-mixed tomatoes... The whole table is full of dishes, all made by Gu's father.
The whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat. The two families in front and behind the old house of the Gu family smelled the aroma and felt itchy all over.
Shen Yunshu also had an appetite. She ate a bowl of sweet potato rice, gnawed on several pieces of pork ribs, and ate a lot of vegetables.
She actually doesn't like eating vegetables, but now she is in the late stage of pregnancy and has frequent urination and constipation. She read in a book that eating more vegetables can help with bowel movements.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but she has been eating more vegetables recently, and going to the toilet is indeed much smoother than before. This also made her give up the idea of asking for help from the grandparents in the underworld.
