Chapter 194: Preferring Sons to Daughters
Konjac also has a good temper, but when these good-tempered people get together and live together, why does it seem that everyone is suffering?
Konjac goes to bed late and wakes up late. When he wakes up and hears the sounds of Man Yue and the little white dog chasing and playing in the yard, he can't help feeling lost.
As soon as they pushed open the door and entered the living room, Aunt Chen immediately brought the prepared chicken noodle soup to the table. Pregnant women tend to get hungry easily, and Konjac was already rumbling with hunger when she smelled the aroma of chicken soup and fried chili peppers.
Cui Qingyi got up early and ate early. Now she was sitting beside her, watching her eat, and suddenly asked, "Are you pregnant?"
There are always some strange changes in pregnant women. These changes are very small and usually difficult to detect, but Cui Qingyi can be sure of this just by looking at them.
Konjac put down his chopsticks with a red face, "It should be, but I haven't seen a doctor yet."
Doctor Lu no longer comes to the Cui family to give Man Yue acupuncture. In his words, just take care of her slowly, and the extent of her recovery depends entirely on luck.
Cui Qingyi sent Wangcai to ask Doctor Lu to come over. Wangcai was familiar with going to the Lu family clinic.
There were not many patients on a snowy day. Doctor Lu was lying on a chair, covered with a thick blanket and resting with his eyes closed. He shuddered when he heard Wangcai's cry, but he realized in a moment that someone from the Cui family wanted him to visit again.
Even though it was snowing heavily, Dr. Lu was very willing to go to the Cui family for a medical consultation. He rushed out with his medicine box without Wangcai calling him a second time.
"Congratulations, Shopkeeper Cui. Sister Qiao, Miss Konjac is about one and a half months pregnant, and her pulse is stable."
The happiest person at the scene was Qiao's mother. There were even tears in her eyes. She was happy that she had a grandson, but at the same time she felt sorry that her old man passed away too early and didn't even see his eldest grandson.
Because it was a happy occasion, Doctor Lu received extra reward money from the host and left happily.
Mother Qiao kept calling Konjac to come home. She was a little worried about Konjac staying at Cui's house last night, but she didn't stop him because Cui Qingyi wanted to talk to Konjac.
But now Konjac is pregnant with the first grandchild of the Qiao family, and she feels uneasy if she doesn't look at people in front of her.
Konjac didn't want to go back yet, as she hadn't had time to have a private conversation with the girl.
"Mom, please go back first. I want to stay and talk to my sister."
Mother Qiao flatly refused: "That won't do. Konjac, listen to me. This is the most critical time for you two sisters. You can talk whenever you want. Hurry home. I've already made chicken soup."
Qiao's mother was very strong at this moment and directly reached out to support Konjac.
Konjac had no way of refusing and could only look at Cui Qingyi for help.
Cui Qingyi watched from the side without saying a word. Seeing that Cui Qingyi ignored her call for help, Konjac could only follow Qiao's mother back home with a feeling of grievance.
Cui Qingyi finally understood why these two kind-hearted people had such an awkward life when they were together.
Even though he has been through so much experience, it is difficult to change one's nature, and Konjac is still mostly weak in character.
People like Konjac can be more assertive when meeting outsiders, but when facing relatives who she lives with day and night, she habitually uses concessions to cover up the situation, wanting to make everyone around her happy and satisfied.
But over time, it will inevitably give others the impression that you are not capable of taking on the responsibility and need others to take the lead.
Just like she said before, life is like the east wind prevailing over the west wind, and the same is true in a family.
If Konjac wants to have fewer troubles in her future life, the first thing she needs to change is the part of her personality that tends to retreat and compromise. But Cui Qingyi can't help her with this, so I hope she can figure it out on her own.
It doesn't make sense that someone with money and land can be controlled like this.
Konjac hadn't appeared in the Cui family's yard for several days. Mother Chen was worried that Konjac liked spicy food, so she wanted to send her some fried chilies.
After returning, he hesitated for a long time before telling Cui Qingyi, "I see that my mother-in-law attaches great importance to Konjac's pregnancy. She said that someone calculated that Konjac would definitely give birth to a big fat boy. Now, vinegar is added to the dishes she feeds Konjac.
The fried chili peppers I brought over, Miss Konjac didn't even taste them."
Konjac doesn't like sour food. She has not liked it since she was a child. Even when she was pregnant, her taste for sour food did not change. Instead, she became a little more fond of chili peppers, which she used to only taste.
The saying "sour boys and spicy girls" has been around for a long time. Before the emergence of chili peppers, people's understanding of spicy taste mainly came from Sichuan peppercorns, cornus officinalis, ginger, garlic, etc.
Cui Qingyi frowned when she heard this. As expected, no one is perfect. She had never realized that Qiao's mother was a person who favored boys over girls.
The Qiao family at this time
Konjac was feeling very uncomfortable with acid reflux due to the bowl of sour soup noodles he had earlier. When he saw Qiao's mother eagerly handing him another bowl of chicken soup noodles with a full spoonful of vinegar, he simply raised his hand to block it.
"Mom, I don't like to be jealous. You can eat this bowl of noodles by yourself."
Konjac's tone was a little cold, but Qiao's mother didn't notice at all and she agreed readily.
"Okay, if you don't want to eat now, then don't eat. Just lie down and take a nap. When you wake up, Mom will make you a sauerkraut fish stew."
It was another case of miscommunication. Konjac closed his eyes helplessly and got up from the bed.
When Qiao's mother saw this, she became anxious. "Why did you get out of bed? Hurry and lie down. Don't you know that the first three months are a critical period? Don't be careless and bump into anything."
Konjac stood there and stretched lazily. She was really afraid of her mother-in-law.
Rather than giving birth to a daughter and disappointing your mother-in-law, it is better to make things clear from the beginning, so that your future child will not be disliked by her own grandmother.
"Mom, I've told you many times that I don't like sour food, and according to the old saying, sour food means a boy, spicy food means a girl, so the baby in my belly should be a girl.
I can't let her suffer while the baby is still in her belly. So, I'll go back to live across the street for a while, and you can take advantage of these days to have a good rest."
Konjac didn't even pack up his things and quickly left the Qiao family with Heiya.
Mother Qiao wanted to chase after him, but she was afraid that Konjac would have a miscarriage, so she stood there for a while, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
Of course she understood why Konjac was angry, but Mother Qiao herself also felt aggrieved. Before the accident of the head of the family, she had always been thinking about having a grandson. Now that Konjac was finally pregnant, she thought she could finally give an explanation to the head of the family. How could she be wrong?
Besides, if she really gave birth to a girl, she would be the child of her Qiao family, so of course she would feel sad.
On the other side, Cui Qingyi listened to what Chen Ma said, and decided to go and take a look despite having no choice.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Konjac and his dog coming back quickly.
Heiya's grin seemed to be saying, this time it's really different.
Konjac stayed at the Cui family's house. Every time Qiao's mother came to visit, Cui Qingyi only asked her one question, "Aunt Qiao likes boys, so what if Konjac gives birth to a girl?"
Facing Cui Qingyi, Qiao's mother was a little weak and whispered: "Girls naturally like it too."
That means you can't compare with boys.
