Wen Jinyu was relieved to hear from her son that her daughter-in-law was alright, but she still instructed, "Don't let Yuhan lift a finger at tonight's banquet. Let her rest well tonight. Just like your aunt said, Yuhan is our family's treasure now, and we have to protect her."
Han Xiuqin, who was standing nearby, was also worried about her niece-in-law's health and said, "Yixian, listen to your mother. We can't let Yuhan do any more work today. Let her rest in the house. Her condition is special right now, and no one will say anything."
Go check on Yuhan quickly, don't let her rush to get up, let her rest a little longer.
Han Yi first took off his apron, washed his hands and face, and went back to his bedroom. He gently opened the bedroom door and saw that his wife was still fast asleep, and he was a little worried about her health.
Since his wife became pregnant, she has not only been experiencing morning sickness but also excessive sleepiness. She often falls asleep while eating or talking. The more months the baby progresses, the more severe the sleepiness becomes, and he is really worried that this is not normal.
However, his wife always said that this was normal, so he didn't take her to the hospital. Otherwise, he would have taken her to the hospital for a check-up long ago.
He has two doctors in the family, and he trusts them a lot. He guesses that even if he goes to the hospital, the doctor's diagnosis will be the same as what his wife and mother said.
The room was dark because the thick curtains were drawn, and even though it was bright outside, you couldn't feel it inside, which is why He Yuhan slept so soundly.
Han Yi didn't wake He Yuhan. Instead, he tucked her in and quietly left. He figured he could have breakfast when his wife woke up naturally. He'd make her a special meal for pregnant women later.
Those who got up were instructed by Wen Jinyu and Han Xiuqin to be quiet, speak softly, handle things gently, and try not to make any noise.
Now He Yuhan is the focus of the whole family's protection, and everything revolves around her.
Everyone except He Yuhan sat around the table enjoying breakfast. Thin spring pancakes spread with meat sauce, topped with various vegetables, rolled up and eaten in big bites—it felt really delicious and satisfying. Several people at the table were eating like this for the first time and found it very novel.
Yuan Fengshan ate a spring roll and said, "Eating spring rolls like this is really good. Who came up with this idea?"
Yuan Qiliang said, "Dad, of course, it was Sister Yuhan who came up with this delicious idea. Actually, Sister Yuhan made it before in Luancheng, but you just haven't tried it."
Everyone enjoyed the breakfast, because Han Yi had said that He Yuhan would make her another breakfast, so they ate almost everything, leaving nothing behind.
He Yuhan slept until after nine o'clock before being woken up by hunger.
Pregnant women are prone to hunger, and it's no wonder He Yuhan was hungry after sleeping for so long.
When He Yuhan woke up, she saw that the curtains were drawn, the room was dark, and it was quiet outside, which felt very strange.
At this moment, Han Yixian gently pushed the door open and came in.
As soon as He Yuhan saw her husband come in, she quickly asked, "Brother Yi, what time is it? Shouldn't we get up?"
Han Yi walked to the bedside and sat down, laughing, "Little lazybones, it's already past nine o'clock. Don't you think it's time to get up?"
He Yuhan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and then she said in annoyance, "Oh no, oh no, this is so embarrassing."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "What's so shameful about this? It's just that Mom and Auntie don't want me to wake you up. They say that since you're pregnant, you should sleep more and get some rest so it's good for the baby's development."
I figured you'd wake up soon, so I steamed some egg custard and cooked some millet porridge for you. You can eat now.
Han Yi first helped He Yuhan wash up, then served her breakfast, and then let his wife sit under the grape trellis in the front yard to bask in the sun and breathe some fresh air.
After lunch, Wen Jinyu and Han Xiuqin began preparing for the evening banquet, with Han Yixian also helping out.
He Yuhan offered to help, but everyone unanimously rejected the idea and told her to rest and focus on her pregnancy.
Jian Xiaolin from the Jian family didn't go to work today because it was the weekend, and Jian Chunhua also went home for the weekend.
After lunch, Jian Xiaolin said to Luo Minjuan, "I won't be eating at home tonight. I'm going to a dinner party at the Han family's house."
Luo Minjuan said very reluctantly, "Why didn't you take me with you when you went to the Han family? I could have gotten to know them. And Chunhua too, you should have taken this opportunity to introduce her to them. That way, Chunhua would have more opportunities in the future."
Today, Yuan Qihua will definitely be attending a banquet at his uncle's house. It'll be a good opportunity for him and our Chunhua to meet; their names both contain the character "Hua," which is quite a connection. Perhaps Yuan Qihua will fall for our Chunhua at first sight?
Jian Xiaolin said impatiently, "I'm telling you, stop dreaming. Besides, the Han family only invited me, they didn't invite you at all. I guess they didn't want to invite you either."
With such a bad reputation, they're probably worried about spoiling your trip by inviting you. You and Chunhua should stay home and behave yourselves; don't you dare cause trouble at the Han family's house.
Luo Minjuan said angrily, "How did I cause trouble at the Han family? I just wanted to get to know the Han family better, which would also benefit you. Now you're looking down on me, aren't you?"
Now that I'm old and past my prime, do you have any thoughts about that?
Jian Xiaolin was extremely annoyed by her daughter-in-law's unreasonable behavior. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to go to work. I'll go straight to the Han family's house tonight. You don't need to wait for me to come home for dinner."
After saying that, Jian Xiaolin picked up her briefcase and left home.
Luo Minjuan pouted as she watched Jian Xiaolin leave home, and snorted, saying, "If you don't let me go, I won't go?"
Chunhua, let's go to the Han family's house together this evening. I refuse to believe they can turn us away.
Jian Chunhua said, "Mom, won't it make Dad angry if we go there without his permission?"
Luo Minjuan said, "What's the use of him being angry once we're inside the Han family? He can't just kick us out in front of so many people. We represent his reputation, don't we?"
Okay, you need to dress up nicely today. I reckon Yuan Qihua will definitely be going to the Han family's house today, so take this opportunity to get to know him.
Jian Chunhua said, "Mom, I heard that He Yuhan is pregnant?"
Luo Minjuan snorted and said, "She's quite lucky. She got pregnant not long after she entered the family, which makes her position in the Han family even more secure."
Jian Chunhua's eyes flickered after hearing her mother's words, and she said, "Then Mom, I'll go to the Han family with you this evening."
A friend of mine needs to see me. We've already arranged a time, but I'm going out for a bit and will be right back. We'll go to the Han family's house together when I get back.
Luo Minjuan nodded and said, "Then come back early. You still need to get ready, so don't be late."
Jian Chunhua said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, Jian Chunhua hurriedly left home.
Jian Chunhua thought today was an opportunity; perhaps she could do something about it. After hearing that He Yuhan was pregnant, Jian Chunhua had a plan in mind, and maybe today was the day to put it into action.
