To achieve this goal, she began to humble herself and obey in every way, fulfilling all of Old Lady Wang's requests.
Grandma Wang always felt that this woman had something on her mind and was definitely up to something, but the woman always had a smile on her face and acted like a well-behaved and sensible person, which made her very uncomfortable.
She simply made He Qing do the work; no matter what, making her do the work was the right thing to do.
Not long after, He Qing announced that she was pregnant.
Moreover, they managed to win Wang Er over completely.
The old lady was quite surprised when she heard the news.
What did you say?
He Qing remained silent, nestled quietly beside Wang Er, letting him speak for himself.
Wang Er was overjoyed. He felt incredibly proud of himself. In just one month, He Qing was pregnant again, and this time it was definitely his child.
"Mom, you heard me right, your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you're going to be a grandma, aren't you happy, Mom?"
old lady:????
Are you happy?
She really didn't know that if this were in the past, the old lady would of course want a grandson, but now... the one carrying her grandson is He Qing, whom she doesn't like, so... she's not very happy. But at this time, she can't just say she's unhappy, because that would be troublesome. After all, no matter what, he is still her real grandson.
"It's alright."
Wang Er was immediately displeased. What do you mean "okay"? This is "very good"! He's worked so hard for so long to have this child!
Besides, he's riding high right now. He Qing used to look down on him all the time, but now she has to behave herself in front of him.
"Mom, what do you mean 'not bad'? This is your own grandson. Let me tell you, be nicer to He Qing from now on, let her eat more good food, so your grandson can grow up healthy and chubby, understand?"
Wang Er wasn't doing this for He Qing; it was for his son. Now everyone in the village thinks he's amazing, having He Qing completely under his thumb.
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
The old lady glanced at He Qing, her eyes still showing disdain, but her expression softened considerably when she looked at He Qing's belly.
The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the village.
When Fang Yang found out, he didn't feel anything. You see, he had completely moved on from the past.
He only listened to He Qing's news, as the exams were just around the corner and all his thoughts were on them.
Of course, there's also the work.
Before, Mom took care of everything; all I had to do was work and come home to a meal. Now…
It will be difficult for him to keep his mouth shut.
He went to cut wood with his friends every day, but he only managed to cut a little bit each day. He felt really tired, like his body wasn't even his own, and it was painful.
And so, it was time to go up the mountain again. He really didn't want to go at all, but he had no choice but to get up and go up the mountain to earn money, otherwise what would he spend?
Fang Xin, who was at home, also learned of the news and quickly went to find Mo Yan.
"Mom, have you heard? So-and-so is pregnant."
Mo Yan reached out and tapped her on the head. "Don't be so startled. What does this have to do with you? Just do your own thing, understand?"
Fang Xin felt a little wronged. "I'm angry because that woman schemed against my brother."
"That depends on your brother having the intention. If he doesn't have that thought, others can scheme against him."
Fang Xin felt even more aggrieved. Although there was nothing wrong with that, "that's also He Qing's problem. She had bad intentions."
Mo Yan naturally knew that He Qing was acting so obediently, as if she had really become a good daughter-in-law, because she had her own purpose. It could only be said that everything she thought was in vain.
What He Qing was eyeing was nothing more than a university spot. There was one available through the village chief, but it required a vote from the villagers. He Qing probably thought that all she had to do was get the village chief to agree to give it to her.
"That's right, she has bad intentions, so you have to be careful in the future. Don't panic when something happens, and don't yell or scream. Stay calm and steady, understand?"
Mo Yan hadn't forgotten to tell her daughter to face everything calmly.
"Mom, I understand."
...
Sure enough, a week after Old Lady Wang learned about He Qing, He Qing began to take action. She coaxed Wang Er into talking to her about going to school, and she took Wang Er to see the prosperity of the big city.
Upon hearing this, Wang Er also became interested. He might not have been unaware of He Qing's plans, but when he heard that he could go to a big city to broaden his horizons, he was tempted, truly tempted.
He then used the child's name to ask his mother for help.
That day, the couple cooked breakfast early, and when Grandma Wang came back from working and saw it, she couldn't believe it.
"Did the sun rise in the west? I can't believe you guys can cook!"
Grandma Wang couldn't believe it. She knew that He Qing hadn't done anything proactively since she married into the family, so her behavior today was really strange to her.
"Mom, look at what you're saying. I was just being ignorant before. Please forgive me, okay?"
He Qing knew that at this point, she had no choice but to show weakness first. After all, she still had a bright future ahead of her, and she couldn't just end up with nothing.
Old Mrs. Wang was a woman who saw through everything. She knew everything and could tell at a glance what people were thinking.
"You don't need to fawn over me like this. Just tell me what you want. This roundabout way is pointless."
The old lady came in, took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating. She picked up a large mouthful of meat, put it in her mouth, and felt that the taste was indeed very good.
"Well done, you'll be cooking from now on."
He Qing: "!?"
He Qing was very unwilling upon hearing this; she wasn't a cook.
"What, you want to ask for favors but don't want to work?"
He Qing nodded, though she could only reluctantly agree, "I know, I know, I'll cook from now on."
The old lady was finally satisfied and let them sit down to eat.
After the meal, he asked He Qing to wash the dishes, and finally looked at the two of them, "So, what did you two want to do?"
She knew that these two must have been willing to work; they couldn't have suddenly become sensible for no reason. Even if they said that, she couldn't believe it.
"Mom, it's like this. I know that Uncle has a spot for someone to go to university, right? You see, if we give this spot to someone else, they won't be grateful. Giving it to us is the right thing to do, don't you think?"
Old Mrs. Wang glanced at her son and thought, "This son is so stupid. He doesn't even realize he's being used."
