Hu's mother immediately went into the house and cooked a few dishes with the vegetables she brought. When she saw there was meat, she cooked it directly. After bringing it out, she called them to eat.
Bai Yun and Hu Jie looked at each other and then left.
As soon as they sat down, Hu's mother enthusiastically picked up some food for Baiyun.
"Baiyun, try this. It's a vegetable that mom grew herself. It's delicious."
"You are too thin. You should eat more meat. Also, this soup is my specialty. Try it."
"By the way, what kind of dishes do you like to eat? You can tell me. I can cook a lot of dishes. Even if I don't know how to cook, I will find someone to teach me. I guarantee that you will enjoy the meal."
Bai Yun's bowl was filled with the food Hu's mother had picked up. She threw her chopsticks down and yelled, "How can I eat like this? How can you use your chopsticks to pick up food for me? Isn't this making me eat your saliva?"
"I'm already feeling sick, and you're still doing this. You're deliberately trying to make me feel bad, right? What's the point of saying so many nice things? I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm upset." She turned around and went back to the house.
Hu's mother was scolded and wanted to scold back. How could a daughter-in-law scold her mother-in-law? How could she be filial? But when she saw her touching her belly as if to show her respect, she calmed down.
"My chopsticks are new, I haven't used them yet, and they are clean. The dishes and chopsticks I gave you are also washed and boiled in hot water. People in the village say that children and pregnant women should eat cleaner food, I remember it all." Mother Hu said aggrievedly. Her chopsticks were clean, really clean.
In order to keep this grandson, who may be the only grandson in her life, Mother Hu has never studied so hard. Even if she has to face other people's contempt every day, she will ask the hospital staff what pregnant women should pay attention to. She has memorized it all.
Hu Jie shrugged. "Bai Yun used to have a good temper, but maybe it's because of her pregnancy. She's been very volatile lately. Don't hold a grudge against her."
Mother Hu felt relieved all of a sudden. She remembered what the doctor had said: pregnant women sometimes have strange tempers and tastes. She couldn't blame her. The baby in her belly might be a picky eater.
She was filled with fighting spirit and was determined to take good care of both mother and son.
Her grandson couldn't go hungry. After Hu's mother persuaded herself, she went to knock on Baiyun's door. "Baiyun, it's my fault. You are not alone now. You can't go hungry. Just tell me what you want to eat. I will find a way to make it for you."
Bai Yun: "Whatever you eat, you're full of anger."
Hu's mother kept persuading her, while Bai Yun kept being unreasonable. Both of them were very tired.
In the end, Bai Yun ate the extra dishes that Hu's mother prepared for her, and the matter was over.
In the evening, Bai Yun went out for a walk, and Hu Jie accompanied her, but Hu's mother was worried and wanted to go with her. She followed them with a smile, and after realizing that Bai Yun didn't like her interrupting, she didn't dare to speak easily.
Hu Yingying was dragged by Lingling to run wildly in the yard. She was sweating all over and her laughter filled the entire yard.
Seeing Hu Jie and the others coming out, Chen Lingling wanted to pull Yingying over, but when she saw Bai Yun, a person she was not very familiar with, and Old Lady Hu, who had been mean to her before, she hesitated. Finally, she thought that if Uncle Hu Jie was there, he would definitely not let them be bullied, so she ran over with everyone.
Before the two little guys could even stand firmly, they were loudly scolded by Hu's mother.
"Where did this reckless kid come from? If he hits someone, can you afford to pay for it?"
"There are pregnant women in the compound who don't even know how to be careful. How did your parents teach them?"
"What is this idiot doing here? Don't pass on your stupidity to my grandson. If anything happens to my grandson, I will tear you apart."
Hu Yingying didn't listen to what others said, but Chen Lingling understood. This old lady was still so fierce, and she was about to be scared to tears again.
Hu Jie frowned, squatted down, hugged Hu Yingying in his arms, and touched Chen Lingling's head.
He turned around and glared at Hu's mother, saying unhappily, "Mom, how can you say that about Yingying? If it weren't for you, would my Yingying become like this?"
Mother Hu: "How can this be blamed on me? Blame it on her not being a boy. If she were a boy, she would never become a fool. I would have treated her as the ancestor of our Hu family. A girl would be better off dead."
Hu Jie was angry but knew that he couldn't convince Hu's mother. Bai Yun also found that the old lady was simply mentally ill.
Bai Yun: "Mom, if girls deserve to die, you are also a girl, why don't you die? I am also a girl, do I have to die too?"
Hu's mother nervously grabbed Bai Yun's hand and said, "Pah, pah, pah, you're pregnant with a son, how can you say such nonsense?"
She folded her hands and prayed, "God bless me. My daughter-in-law's words cannot be taken seriously. If there is any retribution, it will come to me. Please save my grandson."
Bai Yun: "Mom, no matter whether I'm pregnant with a daughter or a son, it's my child. Girls are also very good and caring. Please don't always say that girls are bad. I don't like to hear it."
Hu's mother thought Bai Yun was really confused. How could he say that girls were good? Girls were meant to be raised by other families. Raising them was a disadvantage. Only sons were one's real children. Not to mention, Hu Yingying was a money-loser and a fool. She would never get married. If she said so, it would be better to let her die.
I shouldn't have saved her at that time. I should have just let those people sell her or throw her away.
Hu's mother: "You have to give birth to a son anyway."
Bai Yun looked at Hu Jie speechlessly. Hu Jie rolled his eyes and pointed at his head, implying that Hu's mother was really mentally ill.
Bai Yun: "I want to have a daughter."
Hu's mother was furious: "Don't say such things. If you really give birth to a daughter, I will make her..."
Bai Yun suddenly shook off Hu Jie's hand and said, "If it's a daughter, what would you do? Tell me."
Seeing that she was very emotional, Hu's mother didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head and thought to herself, if it's a girl, just throw it away, throw it far away, and say it's lost.
Seeing that Hu's mother looked like she was thinking of something bad, Bai Yun suddenly said deliberately: "I'm not going to have a baby anymore. I'm not going to have a baby anymore. Hu Jie, I won't give birth to a child for someone like you. You and your family are so vicious. I'm going to the hospital now."
Mother Hu was anxious. "No, I was wrong. I said the wrong thing. Baiyun, even if you give birth to a daughter, I will treat her like the apple of my eye."
Hu's mother glanced around, knowing at once that what he said was not true. But this person was rotten to the core, and there was no need to expect her to change her mind.
Bai Yun rolled his eyes, "Then apologize to the two little girls."
Hu's mother was not happy, and only apologized reluctantly after Bai Yun glared at her, even though the apology was in a bad tone.
Chen Lingling suddenly began to admire this aunt whom she was not very familiar with.
