Chapter 120: They all look down on me
"Um... Comrade Zheng Meilan, Hongying doesn't blame you for bringing the things here. We are grateful that you can think of us. However, Xiao Shen is pregnant and can't stand the smell of this kind of thing. We appreciate your kindness."
Qian Mingfang was still quite polite. She couldn't let a newcomer feel that they were collectively ostracizing her, right?
"What's wrong with being pregnant? This was my favorite food when I was pregnant. I ate a lot and it was okay!" Zheng Meilan pouted, "Forget it, forget it. Maybe Sister Shen eats more good things and doesn't like this. Then Sister Qian, you and Sister Huang can share it."
Qian Mingfang really felt that this person was not very good at handling things. Although they didn't want the dried fish, Xiao Hongying was still here. She didn't take Xiao Hongying seriously at all. She only mentioned herself and Shen Jintao when she entered the door. She probably knew that Xiao Hongying was not a military wife.
Xiao Hongying didn't take it to heart. She didn't like the taste very much. Besides, if she really took something from someone else for nothing, even if it was just a scallion, it would be a favor.
"Thank you for your kindness, but you just arrived at the family compound, so there must be nothing at home. You can take it back and eat it yourself. Don't be so polite." Qian Mingfang said with a smile.
Zheng Meilan's face turned a little ugly. Her husband said that he must have a good relationship with Qian Mingfang and Chen Jintao, but in the end, neither of them wanted him. Could it be that they looked down on her?
At this time, Chen Jintao also walked out with a pale face, supported by Huang Xiuru.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Zheng Meilan, I really can't stand the smell. I'm sorry."
She didn't look too good, but she didn't get angry. She thought that this guy was probably just a little stupid, and she couldn't treat him so coldly just because of this.
Obviously she didn't hear what Zheng Meilan said just now, otherwise she probably wouldn't think so.
“Sister-in-law Shen, I didn’t know you would be so repulsive to this. Since you can’t stand it, I won’t force you. Sister-in-law Huang, you and Sister-in-law Qian are not pregnant, so this should be edible. Do you want to try it?”
Qian Mingfang: ...Wasn’t what she said just now direct enough?
But since things had come to this, the two of them could only take a piece of dried fish and put it in their mouths.
This bite was really salty. After eating it, Huang Xiuru immediately picked up the enamel cup in front of her and drank a large glass of water. Qian Mingfang did the same thing.
Huang Xiuru forced a smile and tied up the bag on the table, fearing that Chen Jintao would vomit if she smelled the smell again.
She used similar rhetoric to Qian Mingfang, which roughly meant to persuade Zheng Meilan to take the food back and eat it herself.
Zheng Meilan finally realized that they didn't like the dried fish she made, and she was very unhappy, but she didn't say anything.
After a few words of idle chat, he left with the dried fish that he had hardly touched.
Chen Jintao breathed a sigh of relief, finally leaving.
After the people left, the four of them couldn't help but say a few words.
"Let's not make close friends with Zheng Meilan. It's very tiring to deal with someone like her." Qian Mingfang felt helpless.
Xiao Hongying nodded. "Yes, I feel like I don't understand what you are saying. Jintao, are you okay?"
Chen Jintao's face was still a little pale. After all, she had vomited a lot just now. "It's okay. I'll be fine after a rest."
"I'll get you something!" Huang Xiuru walked into the room mysteriously, and after a while she came out with a bag of sour plums.
Shen Jintao's eyes lit up, "Sister Huang, this thing is not easy to find!"
"I happened to come across this so I bought some. I usually like sour things. You can eat two first and take this back to eat slowly. I still have some left. Don't be polite with me," Huang Xiuru said with a smile, blocking Shen Jintao's refusal in advance, and looked at Xiao Hongying and Qian Mingfang, "I don't have much, so I won't share it with you. Little sister Shen is pregnant, and you two must be embarrassed to snatch food from a pregnant woman."
Xiao Hongying waved her hands. "It smells sour to me. I can't eat any of it."
Qian Mingfang also said that she doesn't like sour food.
"My taste has changed a little after I got pregnant. I didn't like this kind of sour food before. I feel like I have become pretentious and picky about food after I got pregnant!" Chen Jintao joked.
"You've only just made it this far. You're already doing well. When I was pregnant with my first child, I vomited all the time until I gave birth. I vomited all over before I entered the delivery room. My husband was so worried that his hair was about to go bald. He helped me find fruits everywhere. If it weren't for those fruits, I don't know if I could have held on. Others gain weight during pregnancy, but I lost ten pounds during pregnancy."
Qian Mingfang talked about the bitterness of her pregnancy.
"Ah?" Chen Jintao had never experienced that feeling before. She had a little reaction at the beginning, but as long as she avoided contact with smells she didn't like, it wasn't a big problem. She had never experienced a situation as serious as Qian Mingfang's.
"Is it really that scary?" Xiao Hongying's face wasn't very good either. She was getting married soon. In fact, her and Gao Wu's wedding was originally scheduled for May Day, and there were not many days left. Who knew that he had to go out on a mission temporarily, so she had to retreat.
You're a grown-up girl who's about to get married, and you've thought about having children before. But when you hear Qian Mingfang say this, aren't you a little scared?
Seeing her like this, what else could Qian Mingfang not understand? He immediately laughed, "Not everyone is as unlucky as me. This situation is very rare. It wasn't like that when I was pregnant with my second and third children. I can only say that the first child was very troublesome, and now he is also very naughty."
Huang Xiuru also said, "It's really not easy to meet someone like Sister Qian. Look, Sister Shen has twins. Can't she eat and drink? Don't worry, Hongying. Besides, you can live in the family compound in the future. Even if you get pregnant, we can come together and give you some advice."
Xiao Hongying blushed, "I...I didn't say I wanted to have a baby, did I?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Your Gao Wu is a good man, and you two have a good relationship. You will have children sooner or later. By that time, even your sister Jintao will be an experienced person, and we can all give you advice. Hahaha, don't you scholars have a saying that goes "three cobblers...but...whom are they supporting?" Huang Xiuru racked her brains but couldn't figure out who the three cobblers could support, which made the other three laugh.
They were laughing and chatting here, but they didn't know that Zheng Meilan felt more and more aggrieved on the way back, and almost cried all the way home. When people met her along the way, they couldn't help but ask a few questions, after all, people of this generation are very enthusiastic.
Then Zheng Meilan recounted what happened at Huang Xiuru's home. She felt that those four people looked down on her and that she was being ignored...
