Chapter 243 On Status After Pregnancy!
The next day was a day off.
After learning last night that her granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, Mrs. Gu was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night.
The old lady got up as soon as it was light, half an hour earlier than usual.
Today, she even asked the maid to comb her hair into a more elegant style, just to leave a good impression on her great-grandson/granddaughter.
The maids serving in the old lady's room are all smart people. They were specially selected for the old lady by the eldest princess and Gu Ting.
When they first entered the old lady's courtyard, the princess and Gu Ting specifically told them that in addition to being loyal, they also had to know how to make the old lady happy.
The maids knew the reason why the old lady got up early today, and they praised her in various ways. The old lady was already in a good mood, and now being praised again, she directly rewarded the servants in the yard.
As soon as the old lady had finished packing, Gu Ting, the eldest princess, and the Gu Shi couple came to pay their respects.
"Why did you come so early today?"
The old lady didn't expect that her son and daughter-in-law would come so early to pay their respects this morning.
"I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd come early to pay my respects to Mom. I didn't expect Mom to get up so early."
Gu Ting felt a little guilty when he said this, mainly because he couldn't sleep and affected the princess, so he came so early.
"Hey, me too. I heard I was going to be a grandfather and I was so excited I couldn't sleep well all night."
Gu Shi was very excited when he learned about this yesterday. In comparison, his mother was much calmer than him.
"Since you're here, come have breakfast with me!"
The old lady saw that they had come so early and it was obvious that they had not had time to have breakfast.
"Mom, aren't we waiting for Jinghuai and Zhizhi?" Gu Shi asked when he saw that his son and daughter-in-law had not arrived yet.
"Zhizhi is pregnant, Jinghuai has to take care of her, and you want a pregnant woman to get up so early to have breakfast with you, how can you have a father-in-law like you."
The old lady thought that her second son wanted his grandchildren and their wives to come and pay their respects and have breakfast with them. She felt that her second son was too ignorant.
Gu Shi was confused. Was that what he meant? That wasn't what he meant. Why did his mother misunderstand him again?
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask since Jinghuai and Zhizhi didn't come."
Gu Shi hurried to explain to his mother, otherwise he was afraid that his mother would make up a lot of things in her mind.
"It's almost the end of the year, and Zhizhi is pregnant. I see you're fine, so from today on, you'll go to the shop and help Zhizhi with the accounts. You don't have any other skills."
The old lady was somewhat disgusted with her second son. Apart from settling accounts, she was really worried about him doing other things.
"Mom, I can do the rest too!"
Gu Shi was happy to help in the shop, but his mother thought he was not capable enough and he couldn't accept it, even though he was obviously a very versatile person.
"It's the end of the year, and the most important thing in the shop is checking the accounts. If you can help Zhizhi with this, you'll be doing a great favor. Don't make things more complicated with other things."
Gu Shi looked at his elder brother aggrievedly, hoping that he could speak well of him in front of his mother. However, his elder brother acted as if he didn't see his look.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take care of my second brother. The Ministry of Revenue's affairs are almost done, and I will go to help when the time comes."
Gu Ting smiled with a flattering look on his face. Gu Shi felt that his elder brother didn't care about his younger brother's life or death at all in order to please his mother.
"Thank you for your hard work. You have to take care of the Ministry of Revenue and also worry about family matters."
The old lady has become more and more satisfied with her eldest son in recent years.
Being praised by his mother early in the morning, Gu Ting's tail was up to the sky, and he ate more breakfast.
Everyone enjoyed the breakfast happily. The old lady was 100% satisfied with her two daughters-in-law and liked them no matter how she looked at them.
"It's the end of the year now, and Princess has a lot to do. You don't have to come and pay your respects every day. If you're too busy, ask your sister-in-law to help you. Don't get too tired."
The old lady was not a pedantic person. She never acted like a mother-in-law and never criticized them when paying their respects.
When you are free, just come and have a meal with her and chat, and she will be very happy.
After breakfast, they chatted for a while, and the old lady decided to go to Qin Zhizhi's yard in person to take a look.
Everyone wanted to go, and after the old lady suggested it, everyone happily went together.
The old lady also specifically instructed the kitchen to keep the young lady's food warm at all times and to prepare delicious food for her in different ways every day.
The old lady and several others came over together, and the maids in the yard were frightened, thinking something had happened.
"Greetings to the Old Madam, the Princess, the First Master, the Second Master, and the Second Madam. The First Master and the Young Madam... haven't gotten up yet."
The maid quickly knelt down and saluted. The eldest master had instructed not to disturb the young lady's rest. Now that all the elders in the mansion had come, they would not come to hold her accountable, would they?
"Get up, keep quiet, and take us to the front hall first. Don't disturb your young lady's rest. We will take a look."
Seeing that the little maidservant was so frightened that her voice was shaking, I hurried to explain, fearing that I would scare the people in my grandson's wife's yard.
The little maidservant had not expected this to happen, so she quickly took a few people to the front hall and quickly brought snacks and tea.
She had just arrived at Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai's courtyard, so she was not very clear about the situation in the mansion.
Fortunately, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai arrived before they had to wait long.
"Greetings to Grandma, Great Aunt, Mother-in-law...!"
Seeing the two of them coming hand in hand, and Gu Jinghuai following Qin Zhizhi closely, the old lady felt relieved.
"Hey, hurry up and get up. It's enough if the intention is there. You are now the key protected person in our house."
The old lady personally helped Qin Zhizhi up and pulled Qin Zhizhi to sit next to her.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I'm in good health, so I'll be fine. More exercise will help the birth go smoothly. And using your brain more will make your baby smarter."
Qin Zhizhi was afraid that if she was taken care of too well, she would end up hurting herself, so she brainwashed them first.
"Is there such a saying?" the old lady asked curiously.
"Yes, Grandma, if we want our baby to be healthy and smart, we need to get enough exercise and use our brains more."
Qin Zhizhi spoke so decisively that the old lady immediately believed it.
"Then you can make your own arrangements. Grandma supports you. Just don't overwork yourself. Grandma wants a healthy and smart great-grandchild."
The old lady's words made the others laugh. Madam Mu smiled and said, "In the countryside, most people are still working in the fields when giving birth."
Mu's original intention in saying this was to prove that what Qin Zhizhi said made sense, but the atmosphere changed immediately after he finished speaking.
The old lady and the eldest princess looked at her with pity. There were tears in the old lady's eyes. She glared at Gu Shi in annoyance.
Gu Shi was even more sad. It was all his fault. He made his wife and children suffer so much. He wanted to cry just thinking about it.
Mu was dumbfounded. That was not what she meant. Although life was hard back then, it was not that hard!
Mu looked at Qin Zhizhi for help. Qin Zhizhi understood what she meant and the topic returned to the child.
Mrs. Mu was full of gratitude towards her daughter-in-law, and thought to herself that she should be careful with her words next time, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to handle it.
