Chapter 360 Hiding at Uncle's House
Xu Manman pursed her lips and nodded, "Well, my period has been delayed for half a month, so it should be time."
Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng looked at each other and asked worriedly, "Jiabao, Manman, are you planning to give birth to the baby?"
When Xu Manman heard what her mother-in-law said, her expression changed immediately, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
"Oh, Manman, Mom doesn't mean anything else. You know that family planning is so strict now, and Mom is worried about you." Jiang Xinbai quickly explained.
Xu Manman heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her mother-in-law say this and said with a smile, "Mom, it's okay. I'm not pregnant yet, so no one can tell. Besides, I didn't have any reaction when I was pregnant with Xinxin, so I think it will be the same with this child."
"Yes, Mom, Manman gave birth to a child, so she has experience." Yang Jiabao still looked silly.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her eldest son, "Is this something you don't have experience with? Last night, the old lady in our building reported a pregnant woman who was already eight months pregnant, but was forcibly taken to have an induced abortion. What a sin! You guys are still working in the wholesale market, with so many people coming and going, there will always be someone with sharp eyes who can see that she's pregnant. If she reports it, what do you think we should do?"
"Ah, Mom, don't scare us," Xu Manman's face showed a look of fear.
"Why should I scare you? There are so many such cases. If you don't believe me, go and ask." Jiang Xinbai believed that this was not an isolated case.
"Then..." Xu Manman hesitated a little. After all, she was the one who would be reported and would be arrested for induced abortion.
Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law was frightened, Jiang Xinbai quickly comforted her, "Mom just said that this is possible, but there are also people who hide well and give birth to their children without being discovered."
"But it's probably hard to hide it here. Just like you said, there are many people who will report it! And I'm always in the store. If my belly gets bigger, I'll definitely be discovered. It's not realistic even if I hide at home!"
At this moment, Xu Manman no longer felt the surprise of discovering she was pregnant. Instead, she felt like she was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to give birth or not.
"Well, if you want to give birth, you have to find a remote place." Jiang Xinbai could only give this advice, she had no other choice.
"A remote place? But my mother's house is also going to be demolished, and my second aunt and uncles' houses are not remote either. Oh, Jiabao, what should we do?" Xu Manman's eyes began to well up with tears. Why is it so difficult to have a child?
"Mom, what do you think of my uncle's house?" At this time, Yang Jiabao suddenly asked.
"Your uncle's house?" Jiang Xinbai looked at his eldest son, "Are you talking about the chicken farm?" The village is not remote, but the chicken farm is indeed quite remote.
"Yes, wasn't the hill that my uncle had contracted before expropriated? They took the money and found a new piece of land to build a chicken farm, which is even more remote. I think there are fewer people there, so it should be able to be kept secret, right?" Yang Jiabao was not very sure.
"But," Jiang Xinbai glanced at Xu Manman and hesitated, "But the environment over there may not be very good. You know, after all, it's a place to raise chickens..."
"Mom, that's no problem. I can tolerate it, but my uncle and his family..." Xu Manman hesitated. She had only met her uncle and his family when she got married, and they didn't get along with each other much in normal times. She felt embarrassed to go to their home out of the blue and to avoid the issue of family planning.
Jiang Xinbai waved his hand and replied, "Then you don't have to worry, but there is one thing, the chicken farm is not 100% safe, and you can't walk around. Can you tolerate this?"
Xu Manman glanced at her husband and nodded gently, "Mom, I really want to keep this child, whether it's a boy or a girl, I just want to find a companion for Xinxin."
"Okay, I'll call my uncle to see what he says. And Jiabao, Manman can't go back to her hometown alone, right? She's unfamiliar with the place and she's pregnant. How do you think we can arrange it?" Jiang Xinbai thought that if it really didn't work out, he would just accompany her back to her hometown.
Yang Jiabao looked at his wife, hesitated for a moment and said, "We'll talk about this later. Mom, ask your uncle first!"
"Okay, but Manman, why don't you ask your mom if there's a better place? After all, you might be more familiar with your mom's place."
Xu Manman nodded and replied, "Okay, Mom, I'll go back and call my mom first!"
Then she called the store near her parents' rented house. After several calls, the phone number just told her to come over to her mother-in-law's house.
"It's better to let your mother come. There are so many people here and it would be bad if she overheard it." Jiang Xinbai had originally wanted to let his daughter-in-law talk directly to the in-laws on the phone.
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Hongyu arrived.
"Manman, you were speaking so anxiously on the phone, what happened?" Chen Hongyu asked hurriedly as soon as she came in.
"Mom, I'm pregnant."
"What do you mean?" Chen Hongyu was confused, but when she saw her little daughter touching her belly, she suddenly realized, "You are pregnant?"
Xu Manman nodded. "Yes, so I want to ask you, Mom, are there any relatives of ours who live in a remote place?"
"Oh, no way. Your uncle and aunt all live nearby. What should we do? Family planning is very strict, especially here. You have to have a gynecological examination every year. They are afraid for you. What should we do?" Chen Hongyu was so anxious that she was turning around.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinbai quickly pulled her to comfort her, "Hongyu, don't worry. We were just talking about this. Jiabao's uncle has a chicken farm in the mountains, which is quite remote. If they really want to give birth to this child, going to his uncle's house is a solution, but someone has to accompany Manman! We are discussing it now."
"Oh, is Jiabao's uncle's house safe? Will someone report it?" Chen Hongyu asked worriedly.
"This cannot be guaranteed 100%. We can only say that it is safer than our place. It depends on what they think." Jiang Xinbai naturally could not guarantee anything. Who can guarantee something like an accident?
"Mom, I decided to go to my uncle's house. I can go there by myself." Xu Manman thought about it and made up her mind to go to her husband's uncle's house.
"No, absolutely not." Chen Hongyu retorted loudly.
