Since Meng Zhenzhen left the educated youth settlement, things have become much quieter.
But Song Pandi's life wasn't so easy anymore; Aunt Ma had endless chores waiting for her every day.
Aunt Ma would beat and scold her constantly, and every day before dawn she would wake her up to cook, gather firewood, and wash clothes.
"Song Pandi! Do you want to starve my son to death? Get up and cook!"
Just as dawn was breaking, Aunt Ma started banging on Song Pandi's door and shouting.
"What time is it? Are you still sleeping? You're a pig! Get up and cook for me, then we'll go wash clothes in the river later!"
Song Pandi felt dizzy and confused, and her whole body felt burning hot.
Hearing her mother-in-law calling her from outside the door, she tried to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
Aunt Ma called out a few times from outside, but when there was still no response from inside, she kicked the door open.
She grabbed Song Pandi's ear and yelled, "You little slut! What time is it? Get up and cook for me!"
After saying that, he pinched Song Pandi's body hard a few more times.
Stimulated by the pain, Song Pandi woke up.
Looking at Aunt Ma's face, she propped herself up, her body aching, and said with a forced smile, "Mom, I'll go cook right away, I'll go right away."
She got up and staggered to the kitchen to cook, but her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.
Aunt Ma kicked her a few times: "Hurry up and go, don't be lazy! A hen that can't lay eggs, now she can't even cook on time."
We've been married for months, why is there still no sign of pregnancy?
Huo Jiandang, the second son of the Huo family, is already pregnant after only one month of marriage. How unlucky is their family to marry this jinx!
Song Pandi struggled to the kitchen to prepare the meal. She then picked up the dirty clothes from the yard and headed to the river to wash them.
But as he stood up, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Aunt Ma thought she was slacking off, so she kicked her a few more times: "Get up right now, don't think you can skip cooking just because you're lying down, unless you give our Ma family a son."
After several calls, Song Pandi still didn't react. Startled, she went forward to check Song Pandi's breathing.
fine!
It's still breathing; it won't die.
"Second brother, second brother, come out quickly and see if your wife has fainted. Don't let her die."
Ma Lao Er was exhausted. He returned from the widow's house in the middle of the night and had only been asleep for a short while when he was woken up.
"So what? Let her die! She couldn't have a son anyway, what's the point of having her!"
Aunt Ma: "No, the brigade leader said that she is an educated youth. If she dies, we will be in big trouble. You should take her to the clinic to get her checked out."
Helpless, Ma Lao Er carried Song Pandi to the village clinic. As soon as they arrived at the clinic, Song Pandi woke up.
The small clinic didn't have any diagnostic equipment. She asked Song Pandi a few questions, and Song Pandi said that she hadn't had her period for three months.
But her periods are irregular, and she doesn't even know when they will come.
The doctor said to Ma Lao Er, "She might be pregnant, but she's so thin. Her body can't handle pregnancy. You should go back and give her some extra nutrition! Take her to the hospital for a checkup; I can't do that here."
Upon hearing that she was pregnant, Ma Lao Er was overjoyed and carried Song Pan Di home on his back.
Before even reaching the door, he called out, "Mom, Mom, my wife is pregnant, please make her some food."
Grandma Ma was overjoyed; after waiting for so long, she was finally seeing her grandson.
She quickly went to the kitchen and made a bowl of noodles for Song Pandi.
Smelling the aroma of the noodles, Song Pandi wolfed them down, afraid that she would run out of food at any moment.
Aunt Ma had changed her usual sharp and mean demeanor and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, there's still more in the pot. As long as you listen to me, you won't go hungry! But you must give me a big, healthy son!"
Song Pandi nodded obediently and quickly finished a bowl of noodles. She looked timidly at Aunt Ma, meaning she wanted to eat another bowl.
She ate this meal but didn't know where her next meal would come from.
Aunt Ma smiled and served her rice. Only after Song Pandi finished two bowls of noodles did she feel alive again.
Grandma Ma waved her hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, you can rest at home! You don't need to do any work anymore. Just stay home and give me a big, healthy son!"
She breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed to sleep.
If Aunt Ma and Ma Lao Er could treat her like this every day, she would accept having their children here!
But she knew Aunt Ma's character all too well. What if her pregnancy turned out to be a lie? Wouldn't she have nowhere to go even if she died?
After Song Pandi finished eating, Aunt Ma went outside excitedly, eager to tell the people in the brigade about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy.
Aunt Niu Er curled her lip: "Ma Daniu, your daughter-in-law is so thin? How can she take care of a child? Wouldn't that kill her? You're really heartless!"
Aunt Ma snorted coldly: "Your son doesn't even have a wife, and he still has the nerve to talk to me like this? I think your son is going to be a widow!"
"Ma Daniu! Say that again?!"
Aunt Ma: "At least my son married a city girl, while your son hasn't even gotten close to a girl from the village. You can be envious!"
Aunt Niu Er!
Why did she want to tear that woman Ma apart so badly?!
Ma Daniu went around the brigade, and everyone in the brigade knew that her daughter-in-law was pregnant.
He always has a smile on his face in front of others.
As soon as she left, everyone looked down on her, looking at how she had tormented Song, the educated youth.
When Lin Mengmeng learned that Song Pandi was pregnant, she couldn't stand it for a moment and went to the Huo family to talk to Yun Ningyan about it.
"Ningning, Song Pandi is pregnant, do you believe it?"
Yun Ningyan's lips curled into a cold smile: "In her current state, do you think she can give birth? She's practically starving to death herself, let alone a child..."
Lin Mengmeng nodded: "That's true."
Yun Ningyan picked up an apple, cut it in half, and handed one half to Lin Mengmeng: "But what she does now has nothing to do with me, as long as she doesn't bother me."
"How are things between you and Zhang Qiang?"
Lin Mengmeng!
We weren't talking about Song Pandi, so why are we talking about her again?
When Zhang Qiang was mentioned, her face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Ningyan.
Yun Ningyan was amused by her appearance.
"I'm asking you a question! Why are you looking down? Did you do something wrong?"
Lin Mengmeng blushed deeply and grabbed Yun Ningyan's arm: "Ningning, do you think I should accept Zhang Qiang? He... he confessed to me."
"So, do you like him or not? If you do, be together; if you don't, reject him! What's the big deal?"
"But, but, my mother says I can't date in the countryside."
Pfft...
Yun Ningyan laughed out loud.
Lin Mengmeng pinched her arm, but she didn't use much force, just a gentle twist.
"Ningning, stop laughing! I don't know what to do either."
