Jiang Baozhen went back with Li Junshan. From their words, she could tell that her son thought they were an eyesore and the young couple just wanted to spend a few days enjoying their sweet life.
After seeing her parents-in-law off, Li Qingge turned on the TV to watch a drama as she did in the past few days. Even during her pregnancy, she would always pay attention to the latest developments of the TV dramas.
"Looking at it for too long can make your eyes hurt." Li Hanting sat down next to Li Qingge, "Look at me."
Li Qingge curled the corners of her mouth, turned off the TV, and turned her head slightly to look at him.
"You must not have eaten well recently. You have lost weight."
"I haven't had a good rest yet, and I have dark circles under my eyes."
“…”
Every time Li Qingge said something, Li Hanting nodded.
"I promise it won't happen again."
After saying that, Li Hanting grabbed the back of the little woman's hand and kissed it on his lips.
He is not going anywhere tonight. He wants to spend time with Qingge and enjoy being alone with her.
——
Su family.
Zhao Hongying stayed at home to take care of Su Wanruo, and Su's mother gave her money for food every week.
"Wanruo's appetite has improved recently. It would be best if she had meat every day. Let's make spare ribs tonight!" said Su's mother.
Zhao Hongying counted the change in her hand with disdain, "You gave me this much money for groceries last week, and now you want me to buy meat every day this week. Is this enough?"
Su's mother frowned, knowing that Zhao Hongying was a country girl with little knowledge, so she would not bother with her. If she wanted to have a harmonious family, she should just get by.
"I'll give you another twenty. That should be enough, right?" Su's mother finished talking to Zhao Hongying as quickly as possible. She didn't want to be angry to death.
"It seems you really don't manage the household well. You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The little money you gave is only enough for two meals of spare ribs." Zhao Hongying curled her lips, "I didn't expect rich people to be so stingy!"
Su's mother was angry. The two of them were just staying at Su's house temporarily. In the eyes of others, they were just live-in sons-in-law. They were even asked to pay for groceries. What else did they want?
Could it be that she would spend all her money on eating delicacies every day? Wanruo would have to spend money later on giving birth and confinement!
Besides, the child’s surname will be Xu in the future.
If it weren't for her daughter's sake, she wouldn't want them to move in.
Zhao Hongying was muttering to herself, also unhappy. When she bought the ribs, she only spent ten yuan and saved the remaining ten yuan!
I bought some spare ribs and stewed them for a whole afternoon. The aroma of the ribs had already drifted into the yard. Su Wanruo couldn't resist her greed and came over to ask several times, "Is it cooked?"
Zhao Hongying kept saying "it's not cooked yet".
As soon as Xu Changan came back, Zhao Hongying hurriedly divided the stewed pork ribs into two bowls, one of which she gave to Su Wanruo and the other for her son.
Su Wanruo frowned. Why were all the ribs in the bowl boneless? This was the meat on the bone, the hardest to eat. And there were so many shredded meat that she couldn't chew it at all.
Su Wanruo's teeth were tired from chewing.
I thought about not eating meat at all and just eating steamed buns soaked in the broth.
After Su Wanruo finished eating the steamed buns, she went to the kitchen to get more and found that the mother and daughter were acting suspiciously in the kitchen.
Looking closely, I saw Xu Changbian eating the bones with great relish.
The most important thing is that the ribs in his bowl were all ribs, which was completely different from the ones in her bowl.
Zhao Hongying noticed Su Wanruo's gaze and subconsciously stepped forward to block it.
Su Wanruo finally saw what she was supposed to see.
There's no use blocking it!
"Explain to me, what's going on? Why are the bones in our two bowls different?"
Su Wanruo turned back to the house and brought out the bowl, questioning Zhao Hongying, "Have you figured it out? I'm pregnant now, and I'm carrying your Xu family's grandson! This is how you treat me!"
"What's wrong? Stop looking for trouble here. Can't eat or what?" Zhao Hongying pretended not to understand and retorted, "You're so hard to please!"
Xu Changan didn't know what was going on and frowned, "Wanruo, my mom is already very tired taking care of you every day. Can you please stop looking for trouble? Your anger will affect the child!"
"Look at it yourself. Do you think I should be angry?"
Su Wanruo directly let Xu Changan see clearly, "You are her biological son, so the baby in my belly is not her grandson? The meat on the bones is the most unpalatable! I just have a better appetite, and they don't care about my feelings at all!"
"There's meat on top too. I worked so hard to buy these ribs and stewed them for an entire afternoon, and you're just disgusted with them?"
Zhao Hongying would never admit that she did it on purpose.
"You have my bowl." Xu Changan handed the bowl over. "Is this okay? If you have anything to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't argue!"
"What's with that attitude? It's clearly your mother who's wrong! I'm the one who's pregnant, not you."
"Alright, my son works hard all day long to earn money to support the family. Haven't you noticed how much weight he's lost recently? As his wife, how can you not feel any pity? You take these two pieces of pork ribs for granted!"
Zhao Hongying curled her lips. "You two are the only ones eating spareribs. Your parents and I can't even afford to eat spareribs! We're lucky to have something to eat. When I was pregnant with Chang'an, there was a famine and we had to eat tree roots!"
Su Wanruo didn't want to listen to her nonsense.
Moods are inherently unstable during pregnancy.
She disliked Zhao Hongying again and was filled with anger.
"My mom gave you the money to buy the ribs, so you have to cook according to my taste. If you have anything delicious, you have to ask me for it. If you are still so partial to your son, you should move out of my house immediately. I don't need you to take care of me. I would rather pay for an aunt!"
"I can tell you don't know how to live. My son works so hard to earn money, I don't want you to waste it like this!"
Zhao Hongying opened her mouth to say something, but Xu Changan interrupted, "Mom, I want to talk to Wanruo, please go back to the room first."
Zhao Hongying didn't say anything, but she still had to listen to what her son said.
As soon as Zhao Hongying left, Xu Changan sighed, "Because it's just a few pieces of ribs, it really isn't that serious. In the future, you can just say what you think."
"So, you think I was wrong about what happened today?"
"I didn't say it was your fault, but my mom wasn't wrong either. She just felt bad for me. Your fault was that you yelled loudly when something happened! It doesn't mean whoever speaks louder is right!"
"I understand. You are your mother's good son. You are your mother's obedient son. You don't even have me in your eyes. If that's the case, why should we get married? Why do you want me to give birth to a child for you?" Su Wanruo was so angry that she laughed.
"My mother's life has not been easy." Xu Changan's patience has reached its limit.
"Your mother has had a hard time. It has something to do with your father, not me. If you really want to be filial to her, you should rent her a house outside. Why do you have to beg her to live in your house?"
"Xu Changan, please put yourself in my shoes and think about it. My parents are already quite old, but they are still working hard for our future well-being!"
“It’s not easy for anyone.”
