Chapter 238 The Taciturn Head of the Doting Wife x The Delicate Young Educated Youth 9

Xu Hanzhang left after he finished speaking, regardless of how ugly Qu Xuanxuan's face looked behind him.

Before Aunt Qiao even met Qu Xuanxuan, she was already hated by her.

Qu Xuanxuan stared at Xu Hanzhang's ruthless back and gritted her teeth. Just wait and see how she will deal with that country girl when she comes. This is her territory.

Aunt Qiao has been feeling sleepy a lot these days, and can especially eat sour and spicy food. She just woke up and felt sleepy again before finishing her breakfast.

"Mom and Dad, I'm so sleepy. Can you let my third brother help feed the pigs while I go to sleep for a while?"

Aunt Qiao looked at Yu Cuihua eagerly, fearing that Yu Cuihua would reject her.

Yu Cuihua reached out and touched Aunt Qiao's forehead and asked, "Are you sick?"

Suddenly Yu Cuihua thought of something and slapped her thigh excitedly, "Oh, old man, are we going to have a grandson?"

Xu Jianguo saw Yu Cuihua was surprised and gave her a look of annoyance. "My daughter-in-law is just sleepy, why are you thinking about your grandson?"

Yu Cuihua glared at Xu Jianguo and said, "I just know that my daughter-in-law has been eating sour and spicy food these days, and she loves to sleep all the time. Aren't these symptoms of pregnancy?"

"No, we have to go to the town hospital. Old man, go to the village chief's house and borrow a donkey cart. We can go early while it's still early."

Xu Jianguo was also unsure after hearing Yu Cuihua's explanation. Could it be that she was really pregnant? His son was really amazing. They had only slept together for a few days.

Yu Cuihua and Xu Jianguo were making quite a lot of noise. Ma Yuanfang heard everything they said in the room. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, put down her needlework, put on her clothes and went out.

"Son, if your father comes back, tell his mother to go back to her parents' home."

Ma Yuanfang's son was still young, only six years old, but he was sensible enough to convey the instructions given by the adults.

Xu Jianguo was driving the donkey cart, while Yu Cuihua and Qiao Jinjin were sitting on the shelf at the back of the cart, covered with thick quilts.

"Daughter-in-law, lie on my lap and take a nap. I can see that you can't even close your eyes."

Aunt Qiao was also feeling very uncomfortable. She was not cold anymore, but it was really unbearable that she could not fall asleep when she was sleepy. Hearing what Yu Cuihua said, Aunt Qiao did not refuse and rested her head on Yu Cuihua's legs.

"Mom, if you are tired, please call me. I really can't help it."

Aunt Qiao slept until she reached the hospital entrance.

In the 1970s, the hospital was just a small two-story building and the medical level was low, but you could still tell whether a woman was pregnant or not.

"Daughter-in-law, wake up, we are at the hospital"

Aunt Qiao opened her eyes dazedly, sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking at the somewhat shabby hospital. She suddenly felt a little unsure. You should be able to see it.

There were very few people coming to the hospital for medical treatment. It was not like in later generations where one had to wait in line for a long time to get a number and see a doctor.

"Mom, why are there so few patients in the hospital?"

Yu Cuihua supported Qiao Jinjin as they walked inside, saying, "If you have a minor headache or fever, you can just stay at home and it will go away. Why spend this money? It's not cheap to see a doctor in the hospital."

Aunt Qiao nodded. It was still a pity to be poor, but this world had never heard of the three-year natural disaster, and people's lives in the 1970s were not as hard as they were said to be in her world.

The doctor who examined Aunt Qiao was an old man in his fifties. He just felt her pulse to check whether she was pregnant or not, and did blood or urine tests. There was no need for that, and there were no instruments to do that.

The doctor withdrew his hand from taking the patient's pulse and wrote some sloppy words on the list with a pen. Aunt Qiao said she couldn't understand it as it looked like scribbles.

"It's nothing serious, I'm just pregnant. It's been more than two months. Go home and get more rest and eat more nutritious food."

Xu Jianguo and Yu Cuihua were overjoyed when they heard this. Yu Cuihua wiped her tears excitedly and said, "Great, great, our eldest son finally has a child. Old man, go back and tell the village chief to let someone else feed the pigs. Now that your daughter-in-law is pregnant, take good care of her at home."

Aunt Qiao was very moved, and even thought at one point that there were no better parents-in-law in the world than Xu Jianguo and Yu Cuihua.

"Mom, feeding pigs isn't tiring. Besides, I can earn some work points by feeding pigs."

"Oh, that won't do. If Han Zhang finds out, he'll definitely blame me and your dad. Listen to your mom and stay at home and rest."

Ma Yuanfang hurried to her parents' home, and the first thing she did when she got home was to quickly drink a sip of water from the teacup.

"What are you doing? Are you reincarnating? What brings you back this time?" Ma Yuanfang's mother thought that Ma Yuanfang had no moral character at all and she disliked him no matter how she looked at him.

Ma Yuanfang knew her mother very well and did not take her unpleasant words to heart. "Mom, I have some very bad news to discuss with you."

"What's the matter? Come back quickly after you finish speaking, or I'll have to prepare lunch for you at noon."

Ma Yuanfang rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I won't eat here."

"My parents-in-law took my new sister-in-law to the hospital"

"What?" Ma Yuanfang's mother was unhappy when she heard it. "Going to the hospital is so expensive. What disease does she have? How much will it cost?"

Ma Yuanfang felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this. "She's not sick at all. I overheard that she seems to be pregnant. Mom, what should we do? If my sister-in-law is really pregnant, will my brother still be able to pay money home in the future?"

Ma Yuanfang's mother also became worried. "Really? Yuanfang, if it doesn't work, just let Han Li tell his parents about the division of the family property."

"Han Zhang has been in the army for so many years and has contributed a lot of money to the family. If we divide the family property now, you can still get more. If you wait until their own children are born, they will definitely take more than half."

Ma Yuanfang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. "But if we divide the family, my eldest brother won't be around. Will the two elders agree?"

"Can't you have a good talk with Han Li? If you decide to divide the family, it will be better if Han Zhang is not at home. You may be able to get more." The more Ma Yuanfang's mother spoke, the more she felt that what she said was right.

Ma Yuanfang slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll go home and talk to Han Li about this. If he doesn't agree to split up the family, I'll make trouble with him."

Han Li had no idea that his mean daughter-in-law had been up to something. He had just come back from working in the fields and was about to take a rest.

As a result, he hadn't fallen asleep yet when his wife opened the door and started shaking at him.

"What are you doing? Why are you making a fuss while I'm sleeping?"

Ma Yuanfang patted Xu Hanli's back hard. "Why are you sleeping? What time is it now? Something big has happened."

Xu Hanli was startled and immediately became nervous. "What happened? My parents are not at home. Is there something wrong with them?"

Ma Yuanfang glared at Xu Hanli fiercely and said, "Bullshit, your sister-in-law is pregnant."

Xu Hanli breathed a sigh of relief. This time, no matter how honest he was, he was still angry. "Isn't this a good thing? Ma Yuanfang, don't make trouble for no reason."
