Wu Xiulian felt a chill from Xu Xiang's cold gaze, and their trembling lips finally touched each other.
"I am your mother..."
Xu Xiang straightened his clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles on his lapels, and walked out without looking back.
Wu Xiulian looked at her eldest son who had always been filial and obedient, and sat there in a daze.
Lin Weiwan sat in the yard, holding a book and eating melon seeds. The yard had just been sprinkled with water, and it felt much cooler.
"Is Lin Bozhi at home?" Lin Weiwan stood up after hearing the voice coming from the door.
I put down the melon seeds and the book and went to open the door. A young woman was standing at the door.
It was none other than the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law I met on the train coming here.
The woman's name is Jiang Jing. She has a petite figure and is always gentle and soft. Her voice is so low that it can hardly be heard.
"What's the matter?" Lin Weiwan looked at Jiang Jing in front of him. She was very different from when she first arrived. She seemed to have more energy and was much more cheerful.
"Can I go in and talk?" Jiang Jing looked around and asked softly.
Lin Weiwan stepped aside to let Jiang Jingxiao in.
"Lin Bozhi heard that you are good at medicine. Can you help me?" Jiang Jingxiao asked Lin Weiwan a little embarrassedly.
"What do you want to see? I'm not very skilled. If you have a serious problem, you still have to go to the hospital. There are advanced instruments and professional doctors there."
Lin Weiwan refused openly. If everyone asked her to treat them, she would be too busy. She was not prepared to be a doctor full-time.
"I...I...I've been with Hyoyoung for such a long time, but there's no movement in my belly." Jiang Jingxiao's face turned red after she finished speaking.
Ever since coming to our family compound, my wife has been running around like a wild bull out of a cage, never having a single day of rest.
It's been more than a month now, how can I plant it? It's so uncomfortable to hear my mother-in-law urging me every day.
Lin Weiwan sighed, thinking of Jiang Jingxiao's mother-in-law, "It's only been a short time, there's no rush for this."
Jiang Jingxiao's eyes turned red, how could she not be anxious. "My mother-in-law said that her father had just got married and had an older sister, and then had a second brother."
Lin Weiwan pinched Jiang Jingxiao's wrist and found her pulse was steady and healthy, without any problem.
"You are in good health. You can't force a baby. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let it happen naturally. You are still young. It will happen sooner or later."
Lin Weiwan told Jiang Jingxiao that she didn’t want her to care too much and cause psychological burden.
"Really?" Jiang Jing looked at Lin Weiwan.
"Yes, really, there is nothing wrong with your body, don't worry."
"I heard there's a drug that can help boost fertility. Do you know about it? Can you give me some? I have money here." Jiang Jing said as she began to take out the handkerchief from her trouser pocket.
Lin Weiwan held Jiang Jingxiao's hand and said, "I don't have any medicine here. Even if I have medicine, don't take it carelessly. Medicine is poisonous. If you take something bad, you will lose everything."
Jiang Jingxiao felt a little discouraged after hearing this and took the vegetable basket she had been carrying in front of her.
"Here are some salted eggs I pickled. Take them and try them." Then he took out two salted eggs from the basket.
"I have pickled some at home, it's enough for you three, take it back quickly." Lin Weiwan quickly refused. She had so many eggs that she hadn't eaten yet.
Besides, these days, every household’s pickled duck eggs, chicken eggs, and goose eggs are so salty that she really doesn’t like things that are too salty.
After seeing Jiang Jingxiao off, Lin Weiwan locked the door and prepared to go back to the house for a nap.
"Oh, you're back. You're still pretty strong."
Wu Xiulian's characteristically sarcastic voice came from next door, and Lin Weiwan raised an eyebrow. It was Yang Cai who came back with the child.
"Mom, let's go inside and talk. It's too hot outside." Yang Cai's voice came over.
Lin Weiwan went straight back to her room to catch up on her sleep and stopped listening to what was happening next door.
In the next room, Yang Cai helped Xiao Ling into the west room and made her lie down. Now the couple has been living in the west room, while the mother-in-law has been living in the east room with the two older children.
"Now that you're back, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry. By the way, clean up the house quickly. The vegetables are also running out of water.
The clothes are all in the back room, wash them quickly while the weather is good, or we will be left with no change of clothes if you don’t come back.”
Wu Xiulian continued to direct everything, and after she finished speaking, she did not even bother to check on her granddaughter, but returned to the east room, fanning herself.
Yang Cai fed her daughter some water and went to the yard to pick vegetables for lunch. She glanced at her daughter's belly and her eyes moved slightly.
Yesterday, Xu Xiang came to the hospital and asked her to take Xiao Ling home from the hospital, and also told her something important.
That was because her mother had accidentally eaten some intestinal weed and was not feeling well. She would have to leave and needed her care.
Yang Caineng didn't know what kind of person Xu Xiang was, and his family background might not be that good, but he was determined to gain a good reputation outside.
After quickly preparing the meal, Wu Xiulian was already sitting there waiting.
Yang Cai took out some food from the bowl and prepared to bring it into the house to feed her daughter.
"You took so many vegetables, but others didn't want to eat them? You can eat and make them, but why don't you do more work?"
Wu Xiulian used chopsticks to push the plate of food in front of her eyes, and did not forget to glare at Yang Cai fiercely.
It's all because of that jerk. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have had so many things to do. She would have been exhausted just carrying the manuscript these past two days.
Xiangzi said that only if she memorized it clearly and admitted her mistakes at the review meeting could she stay. Otherwise, he would send her back to her hometown.
Humph... Two people sleeping in the same quilt are both different, a pair of conscienceless people.
Wu Xiulian looked a little better after she put some rice into her mouth.
Who knew that the daughter-in-law next door was so amazing and could actually treat illnesses.
Thinking of the woman that day, Wu Xiulian felt that the rice in her mouth no longer tasted good.
Damn it, if I had seen you I would have torn you to pieces. You almost killed her.
By the time Yang Cai finished feeding the child and came out, the plate on the table was already empty.
The pot was scraped clean and not even a grain of rice was left.
Yang Cai could only open the cupboard and take out the half-meal leftover from the morning to fill his stomach.
In the morning, the courtyard auditorium was filled with women from the courtyard.
Everyone who knew each other sat together, with Zhao Hongmei sitting on Lin Weiwan's left and Aunt Miao Yuxiang sitting on his right.
"Everyone is here, please be quiet." Director Xia stood in front of the stage holding the microphone.
“There are three reasons why we invited you all here today. First, our textile factory has been built.
If you want to find a job and add some income to your family, please come and sign up with me after the conference is over. "
As soon as Director Xia finished speaking, the noodles started to cook, and several people enthusiastically discussed whether to go or not.
"Okay, let's study the textile factory issue later. The second thing is that someone reported it to me.
Some people in our family are too extravagant and wasteful in their work, which is shameful.
We are all the strong backers of the former fighters. We should be diligent in saving money and doing a good job in the aftermath so that the fighters on the front line have no worries.
