Everyone was stunned at first, but soon they all started laughing and congratulating Fu Chunshan.
"This girl Su is really lucky. She got pregnant right after getting married."
"If I could give birth to a boy, I would be very lucky!"
"Captain, now that Fu Qi is married and is about to have a child, are you relieved?"
"But speaking of which, Fu Qi should be quite busy in the army. Now that Su girl is pregnant, who will take care of her? Captain, are you planning to bring her back home to take care of the pregnancy and give birth, or do you plan to let someone take care of her?"
Fu Chunshan was originally very happy, but after hearing this, the expression on his face gradually changed.
But this was only a moment. Fu Chunshan quickly adjusted his facial expression and waved his hand at everyone, "Alright, alright, stop chatting and work hard. If you are deducted work points for chatting instead of working, don't ask me to plead for mercy."
Gossip is certainly interesting, but for the members, work points are the most real thing, so no one spoke anymore.
But the daughters-in-law of the Fu family and the three members of the Su family all had complicated eyes and unpredictable expressions on their faces.
After work at noon, I went to the Fu family.
The family sat together to eat, dozens of people sat together, it used to be lively and lively, with endless things to talk about, but today it was surprisingly quiet, no one spoke.
Fu Chunshan and Wang Maoni seemed not to notice this and were eating their meals calmly.
The first person who couldn't hold it back was Liu Xiu'e.
Liu Xiu'e put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Wang Maoni with a smile on her face, "Mom, the seventh son's wife is pregnant."
Wang Maoni continued eating and replied calmly, "I know."
"Mom!" Liu Xiu'e smiled a bit flatteringly, "Old Seven's wife is young, and this is her first time having a child. Old Seven is busy in the army and can't take care of her. There's no one around to take care of her. If something happens to her, it will be bad, don't you think?"
"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush with me."
"Mom, am I not thinking about the seventh brother and his wife? Mom, are you and Dad planning to bring the seventh brother's wife back?
I think it's quite troublesome to come back from there. She is pregnant and it's not suitable for her to take the train. Why don't we just send someone to take care of her? What do you think?"
Wang Maoni, who had been concentrating on eating, glanced at Liu Xiu'e and said, "So who do you think would be more suitable to go?"
Hearing this, the corners of Liu Xiu'e's mouth almost stretched to her ears. She tried to hold it back before speaking casually.
"How about me?"
Wang Maoni didn't say anything.
Seeing Wang Maoni remained silent, Liu Xiu'e became nervous and could no longer smile. She quickly said, "Mother, as the eldest sister-in-law, it is my duty to take care of my younger sister-in-law. If you think I can't go alone, let Da Wa go with me. Da Wa is tall and strong, so if he goes with me, he will have someone to take care of him on the way."
Upon hearing this, Li Lai Di couldn't stand it anymore and quickly put down her chopsticks.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. How can a boy like Da Wa take care of his young aunt? I think it's better to let Er Ya go. Er Ya and her young aunt are about the same age, and they can talk to each other. If I take Er Ya with me, I will definitely be able to take good care of Lao Qi's family.
By the way, Erya is old enough to find a partner, so why not find one in the army? Isn't it better than marrying in the production team? Don't you think so, mother?"
The smile on Liu Xiu'e's face had completely disappeared. "Second sister-in-law, when the Seventh Family is at home, you always quarrel with them. If you go over there, will the Seventh Family be happy? Don't make them angry again!"
"Sister-in-law, if anyone likes to quarrel with the Seventh Family, it should be you!
"The housing that Lao Qi has in the army is not adequate, and Da Wa is one year older than Lao Qi. It would be so awkward to let him go and live under the same roof every day!"
"Dawa is her eldest nephew, and I'm his mother here, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"
"That's not what I meant. That woman is pregnant, and there are many inconveniences. Anyway, I think it's not appropriate for Da Wa to go. What do you think, mother?"
Liu Xiu'e also hurriedly looked at Wang Maoni, "Mom, why do I feel it's unreliable to let Erya find a husband in the army? The army is full of young men. If Erya, a grown girl, goes there and fails to find a husband, her reputation will be ruined--"
"Liu Xiu'e, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there any aunt like you? You are still hoping that my Erya will have a bad reputation, you filthy-hearted person."
"Why am I so mean?" Liu Xiu'e stood up with her hands on her hips. "I love Erya and am thinking about her. If I were not her biological aunt, would I have thought about her?"
"You farted! You—"
Both of them stood with their hands on their hips and their heads raised, as if they were about to fight.
The others stopped eating and just stared at the two of them.
Fu Chunshan slammed his chopsticks on the table and looked at the two with a cold face, "What are you arguing about? If you can eat, eat. If you can't, go away."
Wang Maoni glanced at the two without any emotion, "What are you arguing about? When did I say to let someone go?"
The two people who were arguing with red faces and thick necks just now instantly turned into hens with their necks being strangled, their eyes popping out and making gurgling sounds in their throats.
After a long while, Liu Xiu'e finally managed to utter a word.
"Mom, why...why?"
"No reason." Wang Maoni said calmly, "It's just a pregnancy, not a golden egg. Why do you need someone to take care of you? All of you sisters-in-law have given birth to two or three children. Who has someone to take care of them?"
Li Lai Di stammered, "But...but isn't the Seventh Old Man young?"
Wang Maoni sneered, "Why, weren't you eighteen or nineteen when you were pregnant with your first child?"
"I--"
Li Laidie was dumbfounded.
Liu Xiu'e was also dumbfounded.
Both of them wanted to argue a few more words, but there was nothing wrong with what Wang Maoni said.
When the sisters-in-law got pregnant, they were all eighteen or nineteen years old.
Not to mention that there is someone to take care of you, if you don't feel unwell, you still have to go to work as usual.
Even if you are really not feeling well and cannot go to work, you still have to cook and do laundry at home.
When you think about it this way, it seems to be true. Why does Su Ruanruan need someone to take care of her?
etc!
This is not right!
They didn't want to take care of Su Ruanruan at all, they just wanted to go to the army!
If they didn't use taking care of Su Ruanruan as an excuse, how could they go to the army?
Just as the strange silence spread, Su's mother's voice came from outside the door.
In the middle of the day, the gate of the Fu family's courtyard was not locked, but just ajar. Su's mother pushed the door open and walked in while talking.
"Mother-in-law, I heard that Ruan girl is pregnant. She is alone over there without anyone to take care of her. What are you going to do?"
