Chapter 52 The pressure is so great
After dinner, Jiang Xinbai sat on the bed and soaked her feet, while Yang Jinsheng squatted on the ground and massaged her feet. Looking at her chubby little feet, he couldn't help laughing, "Xiaobai, your chubby feet are quite cute."
Jiang Xinbai rolled her eyes at him, raised her foot and splashed some water on him with her toes, "I wasn't like this before. I did it all to give birth to a child for you. Look at me, a young girl, but now I'm nothing." As she spoke, she pinched her own face, which felt much fatter than before.
Although the family conditions were limited, the mother-in-law was partial to her and often cooked for her. She worked in a state-owned restaurant and had money, so she could do well, so she naturally ate well.
"Yes, yes, Xiaobai, you've worked hard. Come, let me massage your shoulders again." Yang Jinsheng said as he prepared to stand up and put his hands on Jiang Xinbai's shoulders.
"Okay, you're massaging my shoulders right after massaging my feet. Please pay attention to your hygiene." Jiang Xinbai looked disgusted.
"Well, you're disgusted with your own feet."
"Go pour out the water quickly, wash your hands, and come back to massage my shoulders again."
Jiang Xinbai raised her chin. She was a noble lady now. If she didn't enjoy herself more now, she would not have the same treatment after giving birth.
"Okay!" Yang Jinsheng was not angry. He opened the door and walked out with the foot basin in his hand. He happened to meet Su Qiuyan who was also holding the foot basin. Her eyes immediately fell on Yang Jinsheng's hand. She pursed her lips and went out without saying anything.
"Tsk tsk." Yang Jinsheng shook his head gently, thinking that his second brother was not good enough, his wife didn't feel sorry for him, he was still good, Xiaobai married the right person, hehe!
Jiang Xinbai, who had finally waited for Yang Jinsheng to come back, immediately patted the empty seat beside him and said, "Come on, tell me what's going on with your eldest sister? From what your eldest sister said, your parents are angry that she got married?"
Yang Jinsheng sat down next to her and said with a smile, "I knew you couldn't help it. I didn't tell you because you didn't ask me before. I'm not angry that my elder sister got married. I'm angry that she married a divorced man."
"Second marriage? You said your brother-in-law was married before? Then did he end up with someone else?" Jiang Xinbai was really curious. Seeing how pretty Yang Xiufen was and how she lived in the city, how could she marry someone who was married twice? Her parents-in-law didn't seem like the type to sell their daughter, right?
Yang Jinsheng looked at his wife's curious face. He rubbed her round face and asked, "Are you so curious about other people's affairs?"
Jiang Xinbai slapped his hand away and frowned, "Hey, tell me now, or I'll hit you."
"Tell me, I'll tell you right away." Yang Jinsheng organized his words a little, and then explained: "The one in front of my eldest brother-in-law fell into the river and disappeared, and it was a coincidence that my eldest sister and my brother-in-law met. Anyway, my eldest brother-in-law met my eldest sister when he was on a blind date, and he set his eyes on her. After a period of persistent pursuit, the two fell in love with each other. But my parents didn't agree. Why should my eldest sister, a virgin, marry a divorced man? Xiaobai, you don't know that there were many people chasing after my eldest sister at that time, including the son of the factory director, and finally my eldest sister was chosen by my eldest brother-in-law."
Jiang Xinbai nodded. Although she had never seen how many suitors her elder sister had at that time, she knew that this was true just by looking at her face.
"Does the eldest sister have any children now? Hmm? What about the eldest sister's husband's previous children? Are they also with the eldest sister to take care of them?"
After Jiang Xinbai came to her senses, she remembered the most difficult thing: stepmother. A second marriage means being a stepmother.
Yang Jinsheng shook his head. "I don't have a child. My elder sister knows this. If I had a child, I wouldn't do it!"
"That's good."
"So Mom and Dad have been angry about this for so long? From what Mom said, it seems to be two or three years?"
"Well, it's been more than two years! Well, actually, if they take it slowly, parents will agree sooner or later. But my eldest brother-in-law even instigated my eldest sister to go home and steal the household registration booklet to get the certificate. Don't you think my parents would not be angry?" Yang Jinsheng still looked indignant when he said this.
"How do you know it was your brother-in-law who instigated it?"
"That must have been instigated by my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest sister is such an obedient person!" Yang Jinsheng simply has a filter for his own family and thinks everything about them is good.
Jiang Xinbai thought of her elder sister-in-law Yang Xiufen during the day. She shook her head. She didn't look like someone who could be manipulated.
…
Sun Erni started busying herself early in the morning, cleaning and sweeping the house, making it almost the same as the Spring Festival cleaning.
Jiang Xinbai was chewing dried shrimps while standing in the corridor, looking down. When he saw Yang Xiufen's pink figure, he immediately turned around and shouted into the house, "Mom, mom, my elder sister is here."
"Are you here? Where are you?" Sun Erni wiped her hands on her apron and then tiptoed to look downstairs.
Jiang Xinbai grabbed her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, you have to be careful, my elder sister is going upstairs." She pounced down. This was no joke.
At this time, Yang Xiufen just came up the stairs. She turned around and saw Sun Erni standing on tiptoe looking down. She smiled and said, "Mom, you missed me!"
When Sun Erni saw that she was the only one there, her face suddenly turned bad. "Why are you alone? Where's Zhou Yu? Why don't you want to go to your father-in-law's house?"
Yang Xiufen was not frightened by her mother's expression. She walked straight into the house with things in her hands.
"Er Ni, is Xiu Fen back? Oh, she is getting more and more beautiful. She doesn't look like she is married."
Li Guiying, who lived next door, had watched the Yang family's children grow up, so naturally she knew Yang Xiufen.
"Yes, I couldn't recognize you when I saw you downstairs just now. You haven't been back for three years, right?"
This was said by Xu Baoju, who had just rushed up from downstairs. Tsk tsk, she is already a married woman, but she still dresses like a little girl. She really doesn't know how to manage the household. It's a good thing that I didn't marry Yang Xiufen as my daughter-in-law.
"Aunt Li, are you in good health? I see that you look radiant and healthy, and your life is going well." Yang Xiufen came out from the room with a smile and praised Li Guiying.
Then she looked at Xu Baoju and smiled again, "Oh, Aunt Xu, now that you have a daughter-in-law, you must have a grandson. You look so haggard, it must be because of the grandson." Yang Xiufen looked serious.
"Puchi," Xu Baoju hadn't said anything yet, and Li Guiying couldn't help but said, "Xiufen, you haven't been back in the past few years. I don't know that your Aunt Xu has married a daughter-in-law, but there is no sign of the eldest grandson!"
In order to help her daughter-in-law give birth to a child, Xu Baoju has tried many folk remedies during this period, but it only bothers her daughter-in-law and she doesn't know if they are effective.
"You," Xu Baoju pointed at Guiying, then glanced at Sun Erni and said with a smile, "Xiufen, you should comfort your mother first. You already have three nieces, and when your third sister-in-law gives birth to another, it will be four. Your mother will cry until she faints. You should comfort her more. It's destined, don't force it."
Yang Xiufen pointed her finger at Jiang Xinbai's belly and said with a smile, "Who said that? The baby in my little sister's belly is the eldest grandson of our Yang family, there's no doubt about it."
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Xinbai's belly.
“……” This was the first time Jiang Xinbai felt such great pressure.
