Chapter 307: Poor People Are Taken Advantage of
Shen Junshan pinched her face hard.
Han Jiaojiao kept crying, and because it hurt from being pinched, she cried even louder.
Sun Wen and Han Fang, who lived on the same floor, were woken up. When they ran to the door, Gu Ruo also ran over.
"Brother, open the door! Why can I hear my sister-in-law crying inside?"
"The door is unlocked!"
Shen Junshan didn't have the time to open the door. He was not even busy coaxing people.
He held Han Jiaojiao in his arms and didn't know how to coax her. In desperation, he thought of the way the adults in the village used to coax children.
As a result, when Gu Ruo and Sun Wen came in, they saw a strange scene...
Han Jiaojiao leaned in Shen Junshan's arms, crying like a little child and her belly was aching.
Shen Junshan sat cross-legged on the bed, his body shaking in a regular rhythm, humming a dialect tune faintly.
Gu Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"I, I don't know either!"
Shen Junshan was also dumbfounded.
"Jiaojiao, please stop crying. Be careful not to get a stitch in the side."
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Is it your brother-in-law who is bullying you?"
Sun Wen's eyes turned to Shen Junshan, with a hint of coldness in them.
Although he liked his brother-in-law very much, Sun Wen would not be polite if he dared to bully his sister.
Han Jiaojiao shook her head.
Just now, reality and dreams were mixed together, and she didn't know whether it was a dream or reality.
But now seeing Sun Wen, Ruoruo and the others, Han Jiaojiao pinched her leg and finally realized that she was in the real world.
She gasped for breath and her lips were dry from crying.
Han Fang quickly ran downstairs and poured a glass of warm water for Han Jiaojiao.
"Sister, did you have a nightmare again? You woke up from your dream several times in the county town. What kind of dream did you have?"
The houses in the county town are so small that Han Fang heard it every time she woke up in shock.
Han Fang pulled her and said, "Sister, don't be afraid. It's just a dream, not real."
"Not really..."
Han Jiaojiao gulped down a glass of water and her emotions calmed down.
Only then did she realize that her hair and back were wet with sweat, and her autumn clothes were sticking to her back, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Junshan also found that she was constantly moving.
So I went to get a dry towel, stuffed it in from the bottom, and then pulled out a corner from the collar to protect her back.
Shen Junshan: "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, much more comfortable."
"What kind of nightmare did you have? It's not like you to cry like this."
Han Jiaojiao muttered to herself, “Didn’t I cry the last time I dreamed that something happened to you?”
Now you are making fun of me.
Haha, man!
She pouted: "Nothing, I just dreamed that someone knocked me down from behind, and then stepped on my stomach. There was no one around, and then..."
"Shh!"
Shen Junshan's index finger gently touched her lips.
He understood what Han Jiaojiao meant.
Shen Junshan heard that women become more sensitive after becoming pregnant.
He hadn't noticed any signs of this in Han Jiaojiao before, and thought she wasn't affected by the hormonal changes.
Now it seems that all pregnant women are the same.
He didn't think it through.
Shen Junshan lifted her hair. Han Jiaojiao's scalp was wet with sweat, and the sweat stuck to Shen Junshan's hands.
He said distressedly: "Don't say those unlucky things, dreams are the opposite of what they actually are. You and the child will be safe and sound."
"Yes, sister-in-law, I also heard similar words when I was abroad. It shows that dreams are the opposite! You and the baby will be safe."
Sun Wen also nodded: "You must have been too tired during this period. The baby has grown a lot. You think about it during the day and dream about it at night."
Han Jiaojiao has calmed down.
She touched her belly and found that the baby had indeed grown a lot.
Before, there was still a lot of space when I could wrap my hands around it, but now I can hardly do that.
Thinking about the dream she just had, she still felt scared.
But Han Jiaojiao couldn't tell whether it was a precognitive dream or an ordinary nightmare.
"Maybe it was too real. It was right in our backyard. I even heard someone say that I deserved it. I always felt that the voice was very familiar, but after waking up I just couldn't remember who it was."
"If you can't remember, forget it."
Shen Junshan looked at the alarm clock and it was just past four o'clock.
He said, "I'll wipe your sweat off. Can you sleep a little longer?"
"Well, you guys should go back to your room and get some rest. I'm sorry for waking you up."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, take your time to rest."
Gu Ruo yawned and went back to his room to continue sleeping. His two younger brothers also went back to rest.
After Shen Junshan helped her dry off the sweat, he went downstairs to pour her a cup of warm tea and brought up a small bottle of boiled water.
This saves you from having to go down and pour it when you want to drink water again later.
Han Jiaojiao couldn't fall asleep for a while.
She stuffed a harder cushion behind her back and leaned against Shen Junshan's arms.
"Honey, I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"You've been having a hard time lately. I even woke you up in the middle of the night. You're not made of iron. It must be very hard for you to be tormented by me all day long. Do you regret marrying me?"
Shen Junshan put his arm around her shoulders and held her tight in his arms.
"I'm your husband, I should take care of you. Besides, you're carrying my child, and I can't carry your belly for ten months. I'll feel better if I can help."
Shen Junshan kissed her forehead.
Although there is a smell of sweat in my hair, it is not very pleasant.
But in his eyes, everything about Han Jiaojiao was good.
"I'm glad I wasn't scared away by the 2,000 yuan gift."
"Hehe, you have a good eye. This is the best investment you will ever make in your life!"
Han Jiaojiao took his hand and placed it on her chest.
Feeling the warmth in Shen Junshan's palm, she felt inexplicably at ease and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Shen Junshan turned off the desk lamp, but it was still pitch dark outside.
He soon fell asleep too.
A little after seven the next morning, Cai Xun was driving on the road. He glanced at Wang Rui beside him with disdain.
"I told you to eat meat buns, but you insisted on eating soup dumplings. The soup is all over my windshield!"
"You were the one who said, 'Let's have the meat buns. There are also soup buns.' You asked me to choose one of the two! So is there a problem if I chose the soup buns?"
Wang Rui took a gulp and immediately opened her mouth to inhale air.
Cai Xun was speechless.
"I'm just saying it casually. Next time you want to eat soup dumplings, let's go out fifteen minutes earlier and sit down to eat slowly. Look at you, you're so hot that you look like a monkey!"
Cai Xun took a look and couldn't help laughing.
It really looks like a monkey!
"Just take a small bite to break the skin, blow on it, dip it in vinegar, drink some soup, and then you can eat it. You can't even eat. Every time you eat, you're like a pig."
"Hmph, none of your business!"
Wang Rui grinned at him, but still followed Cai Xun's advice when eating the soup dumplings.
He could already see the school gate.
Cai Xun found an open space and slowly stopped the car.
Wang Rui picked up the small schoolbag she had sewn, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the school gate.
"Isn't this Wang Rui? I didn't see you a few days ago and thought you dropped out of school!"
