"The state-owned restaurant has fish for sale today, so I bought one. It looks so fresh." Xia Yue'e said as she walked. When she opened the door, everyone in the room stared at her. Old Mrs. Xia was stunned.
"Huh?"
Xia Yu'e stood up, took the lunch box from her and was about to heat it up. This time no one rushed to help, as they all wanted to see what expression Grandma Xia had on her face.
Old Lady Xia sat down where Xia Yu'e had just sat. "What day is it today? Why are you all here?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, there are a lot of things to do after the New Year, and I just started working at the hospital, so I can't spare any time for a while. This time, as soon as we are free, we will come to see you."
Old Mrs. Xia: “Oh.”
Just a few days ago, she saw that he was free to accompany a woman to pick out watches, and now he said that he was busy at the hospital. Chen Xiangnan knew that she didn't believe it, but he didn't come here this time to make her believe his nonsense that even dogs wouldn't believe. He wanted her to shut up in front of Tang Jiao.
Chen Xiangnan grabbed Tang Jiao's hand and said, "Mom, Tang Jiao has good news."
Old Lady Xia: "Pregnant?"
Tang Jiao nodded shyly, looking quite happy.
Old Mrs. Xia knew that this black-hearted second son was just warning her not to talk nonsense, otherwise if Tang Jiao couldn't keep the baby, it would be her fault.
If she hadn't witnessed this incident that day, the second brother probably wouldn't have come over so quickly.
Old Lady Xia understood, but that didn't mean Chen Xiangbei understood. He looked at Tang Jiao's belly in confusion, "Second brother, you don't want Mom to serve your second sister-in-law, do you?"
Chen Xiangnan choked for a moment. Seeing that Chen Xiangbei didn't understand, he had to say with a slight warning, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense in front of your second sister-in-law. She has a hard time carrying a child. The most important thing for a pregnant woman is to be in a good mood."
So, Chen Xiangbei, you'd better not talk nonsense.
Chen Xiangbei has never been the kind of person who can understand the hidden meaning unless it involves himself, so Chen Xiangnan's veiled warning was not understood by Chen Xiangbei at all.
"Ah? What am I talking about? You two are not home every day, who am I talking to?" Chen Xiangbei really thought that his second brother was annoyed by his noise, but if his second sister-in-law wanted to be in a good mood, he had to be a good husband. Why was he threatening him? He was not his second sister-in-law's husband.
Old Lady Xia looked at Chen Xiangnan and said, "Second brother, I won't be able to see your wife much. You should take good care of yourself when you are pregnant. Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much. Otherwise, it will not be good for the child or for you."
Who was he threatening? He was a decent man, so why did he come over and threaten her? I've already said that these children were theirs, and they were their real parents. The one who was messing around wasn't her, the grandmother. If someone really cared about the children, and really cared about his wife, why would they mess around?
Chen Xiangnan was implicitly warning Old Lady Xia, but Old Lady Xia just rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and looked down on the second son.
Chen Xiangnan was furious. He had behaved himself quite a bit since marrying Tang Jiao. It was just that his mother had discovered him before he could do anything. Even if he had done something, shouldn't his mother have given him a little thought for the sake of her grandson?
Tang Jiao is just an outsider, he is his mother's biological son.
He promised at the supply and marketing cooperative that day that he would never do it again, but his mother still scolded him for being a bastard. So what does she want from him?
Tang Jiao felt that what the mother and son said were strange. They said they cared about her, but neither of them looked at her when they spoke. They said they didn't care, but the content of their words seemed to show concern.
"Mom, I will take good care of myself, you don't have to worry too much. How have you been recently? Is there anything you need our help with? I heard that you got a house, when will you move in? Xiangnan and I will come to help." Tang Jiao asked with a smile.
She has not been in a very good mood recently. She has heard too many rumors from other people. Some even said that it was because she married into the Chen family that her in-laws divorced, and that she was the troublemaker.
She has been trying to visit her mother-in-law during this period, but too many things have happened. The hospital is busy after the New Year, and Chen Xiangnan is very reluctant to go see her mother-in-law. Every time she mentions it, Chen Xiangnan's face turns ugly, and she doesn't dare to mention it anymore.
Her mother often said that even if her parents-in-law were divorced, her mother-in-law was still nice to her, so she should go and see her. But Chen Xiangnan's attitude was unclear, and sometimes she seemed even more indifferent than her daughter-in-law.
Tang Jiao felt a little uneasy.
It was not until this time when she felt unwell in the hospital that she realized she was pregnant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she brought it up again. This time, Chen Xiangnan agreed and even bought some things for her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Xia: "Just take care of yourself. As a nurse, you should know that the first few months of a child's life are the most important. If you feel more comfortable staying at your parents' house, you can stay there. Let the second son give your parents some money. You are pregnant with his child, so as a father, he should show some appreciation."
Tang Jiao: "It's okay, my parents don't care about it."
No one cared, and Old Lady Xia cared even less. After all, it wasn't her who was serving her. "How's Lingling doing lately?"
Chen Xiangnan's heart settled down. Since his mother mentioned Lingling, it must be her intention to put his matter behind her. "Mom, Lingling has been staying with Yingying recently. Tang Jiao and I are at work during the day, so we've left her with Aunt Yin. We bring her home to sleep together at night. Yingying's condition has improved a lot. Hu Jie said he'll take her to a bigger hospital when the weather warms up next month."
Old Lady Xia: "That's good, but you should keep an eye on Lingling. It would be bad if she listens to what others say and gets upset."
Chen Xiangnan nodded in agreement.
Chen Xiangbei suddenly said at this time, "Second brother, how is the matter I asked you to help with?"
Chen Xiangnan frowned slightly. What a bullshit! He was too busy to help him. "Third Brother, I've thought about that matter. I can't help you. Those people are not easy to deal with."
Chen Xiangbei was unhappy. "Second brother, it's not like I haven't asked around about that group of people. They're not easy to mess with, and neither are you. Are you too lazy to help me figure it out?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Third brother, why are you always so concerned about other people's affairs? You don't seem to care about your own family's affairs. The stove at home is covered with dust, and you probably don't even know it?"
Chen Xiangbei: "The house is covered in dust and you don't even know how to clean it. All you do is say how much better you are than me. You're out there playing with other women every day. If you had the time, you would have cleaned the house sparkling clean. Second sister-in-law is so unlucky to have found someone like you."
The thing that Chen Xiangnan wanted to keep secret was revealed by this brat, leaving him no time to react.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
