Jiang Rui blushed a little at what the old lady said. Thinking about it, it was indeed as the old lady said all these years.
He admitted this in his heart, but he would never admit it out loud: "Mom, you say such harsh words. Do you think I am a bad son? Even if I did have such a thing before, isn't it something I can't help? You also know that Wang Sha and I don't make much money. We have to pay some money to my father-in-law every month to support Nini. We really don't have much money."
"If your wife had been less greedy, life wouldn't be so hard." Zhao Xingmei was very dissatisfied with Wang Sha when she mentioned this. "What sin have I committed? The third brother's original wife, Hu Jingjing, was not good at living, but your wife is so good..."
Before Zhao Xingmei could finish her next words, Jiang Rui stopped her: "Mom, my wife is a person who lives a good life! She just has a little greedy mouth recently, isn't this a special case?"
Mom, did you hear that? It's a special case. Hey, I told you it's a special case!
Just ask one question, just ask one question, and then it will be easier for me to follow up with the rest!
In just a few seconds, those few words flashed through Jiang Rui's mind. He was hoping that Zhao Xingmei would quickly ask a question, just "What's the special situation?" and the matter would be settled.
But Zhao Xingmei didn't ask, and immediately changed the subject: "On the one hand, your wife is greedy, and on the other hand, she only cares about her parents' home! You two have a monthly salary, except for supporting Nini, and you say that you go to your father-in-law's house every week empty-handed? Either wine or meat! When have you ever bought anything for your father? Pah, you ungrateful bastard!"
"Mom, please listen to my explanation."
...
...
"Don't explain! Just two months ago, your brother-in-law got married, and you actually gave him a 20-yuan gift! Are you crazy? Are you crazy? You live a shitty life, but you are so generous when it comes to giving money to others!"
Jiang Rui never thought that when he came over to say something, he would be scolded by his mother: "Mom, you and my dad are both working and have not retired! Wang Sha and I are also working, where do you think we should send this child? You also know that our Nini will never go to that nursery..."
"Don't explain. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart!" Zhao Xingmei didn't treat Jiang Rui well at all.
As a daughter-in-law, Ye Li felt very uncomfortable listening to the old woman's words! At this time, the mother-in-law wanted to teach her own son a lesson, and it was very inappropriate for Ye Li to be present.
She took the initiative to say, "Mom, I'll go back first. Remember to eat the sour jujube cake!"
"You go back first. Go to the factory and deliver food to Jiang Xun before it gets dark! If it gets dark, I won't feel comfortable with you going alone!" Zhao Xingmei warned.
"I understand, Mom." Ye Li agreed.
After walking out of the house, Ye Li breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's true, this old lady is really amazing! Fortunately, she has a good relationship with her in this life. If she didn't have a good relationship with her, she would probably be criticized.
Ye Li went into the kitchen to check the pot.
The chicken soup simmering on the fire was fragrant. When the lid was lifted, yellow oil was floating on the pale white chicken soup.
She scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it herself. She felt that the saltiness was just right. The chicken soup was very rich in flavor, and the aroma of meat lingered between her lips and teeth. She smiled with satisfaction, found a thermos bucket and put the chicken pieces and the chicken soup in it.
She was serving chicken soup in the kitchen and could hear her mother-in-law scolding Jiang Rui in the house.
Jiang Rui couldn't stand being scolded anymore, so he stopped pretending and shouted, "Mom, Wang Sha is pregnant! She's been pregnant for almost two months! This time she's pregnant with a boy! She's greedy not because she wants to eat, but because you, her eldest grandson, want to eat!"
When he shouted, Ye Li also heard it in the kitchen.
Only then did she suddenly remember that Jiang Rui had indeed told her some time ago that Wang Sha was pregnant and wanted to eat something sour, and that she wanted to eat the sour dates she brought back from her hometown.
From then on, she never returned to her hometown and had long forgotten about bringing sour dates to Wang Sha.
When Zhao Xingmei heard that Wang Sha was pregnant, she was stunned for a moment. Although she was not overjoyed, her expression was much more relaxed than before: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? How are you sure it's a boy?"
Zhao Xingmei is not particularly biased towards boys. She cares for and loves her granddaughter, but deep down she hopes to have a grandson!
Yes, she prefers grandchildren!
Jiang Rui and his wife naturally also hoped to have a son.
Jiang Rui naturally hopes to have a son to carry on the family line. Moreover, a man must have a son. If he doesn't have a son, wouldn't the family be extinct?
Nowadays, a family with only girls and no boys is called a "extinct family". It not only sounds unpleasant, but also means suffering when the family gets old because there is no one to take care of them.
Seeing that his mother finally took the matter seriously, Jiang Rui cleared his throat and said, "Wang Sha is a sensitive person. She didn't want to say that she was pregnant because she was afraid that you would say she was squeamish or greedy. She didn't let me say it, but I insisted. As for why she said it was a boy, it's because she wanted to eat sour food, especially sour food."
Zhao Xingmei was happy when she heard this: "Sour boy, spicy girl, sour boy, spicy girl! Good, that's great! Why didn't you tell me earlier! Really, you are unreliable in everything you do! You are always soft-hearted and listen to your wife in everything. You don't have any ideas of your own! Now that Wang Sha is pregnant is a big event in our family, you shouldn't have kept it from me!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Rui nodded repeatedly, "Otherwise I would be here right now!"
"You should be nicer to your wife these days and love her more! Just buy her whatever she wants to eat now. This is not the time to save money." Zhao Xingmei reminded.
These words really touched Jiang Rui's heart.
He quickly put on a sad face, "Mom, I'm worried! How can the salary Wang Sha and I make be enough? Wang Sha is having a reaction and doesn't want to eat. She only wants to eat something sour. How can this be possible? I just want to give her some good nourishment, stew chicken or fish, etc. People say that pregnant women who eat fish will have smart children! Wang Sha is weak, I want her to drink milk! This also costs money..."
Zhao Xingmei understood.
Normally, she would have scolded him away.
But today, even though she knew her son was asking for money, she still gave it to him.
She took out fifteen yuan from the cabinet and handed it to Jiang Rui: "If you don't have enough money in the future, mom will give you fifteen yuan every month! Buy food for Wang Sha!"
Jiang Rui was still not satisfied: "Fifteen? I'm afraid it's not enough, can you make it an even number?"
"Okay! I'll give it to you!" Zhao Xingmei agreed.
"Thank you, Mom!"
"But let me make this clear first. This subsidy is only valid until Wang Sha finishes her confinement! I won't be responsible for anything after that!"
"Okay! No problem!"
"Also, this subsidy cannot be given only to Wang Sha! If your eldest sister-in-law gets pregnant in the future, or the third son's wife also gets pregnant, I will have to subsidize the money as well. I will be impartial, and you are not allowed to be jealous at that time." Zhao Xingmei said it all in advance.
"Sister-in-law?" Wang Rui laughed dryly. "My sister-in-law's body simply cannot get pregnant!!"
Zhao Xingmei frowned: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Rui said: "I'm not talking nonsense! I'm telling the truth, there's no way she can get pregnant!"
