Chapter 478: Give Birth Early
Niu Zhaoer's face flashed with panic. He glared at the sister-in-law who had spoken, and then said half sarcastically, half mockingly, "I heard that Comrade Su's family was having a dinner party, and my old Mao even specially prepared gifts. Who knew that your family didn't plan to invite us neighbors? I guess you look down on us. My family Tiedan cried all night just by smelling the delicious food at your house."
It is normal for neighbors to treat each other to a meal. According to common sense, Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou should also invite Niu Zhaoer's family this time.
It’s just that Gu Xizhou and Niu Zhaoer’s husband are not very familiar with each other, and Niu Zhaoer’s family has just moved in, so they are not very familiar with each other.
The most important thing is that neither Su Nanzhi nor Gu Xizhou likes Niu Zhaoer.
I don’t plan to contact them in the future, so naturally I won’t think about inviting Niu Zhaoer and his family to dinner.
And since we’ve invited Niu Zhaoer’s family, do we need to invite other neighbors as well?
The family compound is full of their relatives, and they can’t invite them all.
Su Nanzhi didn't expect that Niu Zhaoer would tease her behind her back because of this meal.
But she happened to be free today, so she had plenty of time to chat with Niu Zhaoer.
No, there was also Shi Meili standing beside her with a gloating look on her face.
She did not forget that when she first entered the family compound, in addition to hearing Niu Zhaoer's voice, she also heard Shi Meili's echoing voice.
"Comrade Niu, do you mean that if I invite your family to dinner, I have to invite your family? If I don't invite your family, will my family be guilty of a thousand deaths?"
Su Nanzhi looked at Niu Zhaoer with a cold face.
Niu Zhaoer didn't expect that Su Nanzhi would directly break up with him, and his face turned pale and blue.
In fact, she dared to speak ill of Su Nanzhi in front of so many people because she relied on the fact that Gu Xizhou would be transferred away in the future and Su Nanzhi would not bother with her.
But she didn't expect that Su Nanzhi would take it seriously and actually break up with her.
Thinking of what her husband had said about her building a good relationship with Su Nanzhi, Niu Zhaoer couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Su Nanzhi, I didn't mean that. Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to eat your food."
Su Nanzhi's lips curled up, her eyes full of sarcasm. "I don't care if you talk about my family in front of so many aunts and sisters-in-law. Are you bored at home? If I had known, I would have invited your family to dinner yesterday. Even if you were not full, at least I could have shut you up."
When she said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Nowadays, everyone is very simple. Sometimes when they invite guests, they will only invite neighbors with whom they have a good relationship. People like Niu Zhaoer would gossip behind her back if others didn't invite her family to dinner, and they would look down on her.
Niu Zhaoer's face turned red with anger and he couldn't speak for a long time.
In the end, it was Shi Meili who spoke up to ease her embarrassment.
"Comrade Su, Sister Niu was just joking with us. Aren't you saying that too harshly?"
Just when I was wondering how to teach Shi Meili a lesson, she bumped into me.
Su Nanzhi laughed, "I was just joking. Comrade Niu, are you so bad at taking a joke?"
Shi Meili frowned slightly and said with disapproval: "What you said made Sister Niu unhappy. This is not a joke. You have to apologize to Sister Niu."
Niu Zhaoer, who was standing by, immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, people who don't know me would think I'm a glutton and that I'm just dying to eat the meal at your house."
The smile on Su Nanzhi's face also disappeared, and she said very simply: "Apologize? Sure."
"But before I apologize to Comrade Niu, you must let Comrade Niu apologize to me first."
"After all, if what she just said was a joke, I don't think it's funny at all. If it wasn't a joke, then Comrade Niu is deliberately trying to undermine unity."
She spoke clearly, her voice soft but powerful, and the scene froze in an instant.
Shi Meili thought that Su Nanzhi was just a pretty but uneducated country woman. Only after hearing her words did she realize that she had underestimated her.
"Comrade Su's words make sense. Sister Niu, you and Comrade Su should apologize. Please don't break the unity."
Anyway, it wasn't her who apologized, she just turned around and made Niu Zhaoer give in.
Niu Zhaoer was a little unconvinced, but she also knew that if she continued to make a fuss about this matter, she would be in the wrong.
She apologized reluctantly.
When Su Nanzhi saw her apologize, she also apologized and wanted to leave.
But he was stopped by Shi Meili.
"Comrade Su, it's okay for you to go back now. Chat with everyone here."
Su Nanzhi didn't think Shi Meili was so kind-hearted. Although she had dealt with Shi Meili twice, including this time, Shi Meili would not treat her so well.
Sure enough, before Su Nanzhi could react, Shi Meili spoke.
"Auntie and my sisters-in-law are older than us and have children. We should listen to the advice of our elders so that we will have experience when we have children."
After saying that, she touched her face a little embarrassedly.
"I just went to the hospital this morning and found out I'm pregnant. My parents-in-law and parents are not around, so there are a lot of things I don't understand."
Su Nanzhi finally understood what Shi Meili was planning, and she was really getting impatient.
When a woman shows off her ability to bear children by relying on her belly, she is objectifying and degrading herself.
Seeing Su Nanzhi's ugly expression, Shi Meili's smile grew even wider, and she gave Su Nanzhi a smug smile.
"I heard from my Dashan that you and Captain Gu have been married for several months. Is there any good news about your pregnancy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone under the tree looked at Su Nanzhi.
Almost everyone in the family compound knew that Gu Xizhou had been injured during a mission and could not have children.
But no one expected that Gu Xizhou would bring back Su Nanzhi after he went on a mission.
Some people were envious and jealous of Su Nanzhi, a country woman, for becoming the wife of a regiment leader, but more people just felt sympathy for her.
After all, most people think that the purpose of life is to have children.
Su Nanzhi married the head of the group, but she had no one to take care of her in her old age. It was quite pitiful.
However, Gu Xizhou made sacrifices for the country. No matter how much they disliked Su Nanzhi, she would not be so rude as to talk about the child in front of the couple.
Except...Niu Zhaoer.
When Niu Zhaoer heard what Shi Meili said, without waiting for Su Nanzhi to speak, he said with a gloating look on his face: "Meili, you're pregnant just a few months after marrying Deputy Commander Zhu. You're really pregnant. Some people don't have this blessing."
After saying that, she also glanced at Su Nanzhi's belly.
It's just average. I probably won't be able to pump it up again in this lifetime.
Shi Meili covered her mouth and smiled, her voice proud, "Sister Niu, what are you talking about? Isn't it normal to get pregnant a few months after marriage? Comrade Su will definitely get pregnant sooner or later."
Some sisters-in-law who couldn't stand it anymore have started to change the subject.
"Having a child is all about luck. Some people haven't gotten pregnant even after being married for several years, and that's normal."
"Exactly. Besides, what's so good about having a baby? Ever since I had the baby, I can't hold my urine anymore."
"It's not over even after the baby is born. If I could, I'd like to stuff the baby back in."
…
A look of dissatisfaction flashed across Shi Meili's face, but she quickly forced a smile.
"But after all, a family still needs a child. Otherwise, what will happen when you get old? If you've been married for a few months and there's still no sign of pregnancy, you should go see a doctor. That way, you can check if there's anything wrong and get it treated quickly."
