A few days later, Miao Yijiajia received a call from Miao Cuixia, inviting her to dinner at her home.
Miao Yijiajia was delighted and asked her reservedly if Chen Songbai was there.
Miao Cuixia sighed and cursed, "Unfilial son." These three words had almost become her catchphrase. She called Chen Songbai several times, but he didn't answer. She called again, and Chen Songbai, frustrated by the pestering, answered. After no more than three sentences, he refused to come home for dinner, claiming he had to work overtime, and hung up the phone.
Miao Cuixia was angry and helpless.
When Miao Yijiajia learned that Chen Songbai was not there, she was a little disappointed. After thinking about it, she agreed.
Ever since she revealed her cards that night, Chen Songbai's attitude towards her has plummeted. If she doesn't win over Miao Cuixia's heart, there will be no hope at all.
Miao Yijiajia didn't dress up specially. She knew what her elders liked. She simply tidied herself up and went out, taking a taxi to Chen Songbai's house.
When she entered the room, Miao Cuixia was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand. She asked her to sit down quickly, eat some fruit, and dinner would be ready soon.
Miao Yijiajia put down what she was holding and went into the kitchen to help Miao Cuixia.
When Miao Cuixia saw her, she sighed continuously and complained while cooking: "Song Bai of our family was really blind to marry a daughter-in-law like that. I should have resolutely disagreed at the beginning. Tell me, why didn't you say goodbye to Song Bai earlier..."
Miao Yijia blushed and said shyly, "Aunt, don't say that. It was all an accident."
"I don't care if it was an accident or not. Since Songbai did it, he has to take responsibility to the end." Miao Cuixia took the fish out of the pot, took her hand and said earnestly, "I watched you grow up, you are well-behaved and sensible. If you really became my daughter-in-law, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. You should work harder, Jiajia, and help your aunt persuade Songbai. Xia Xuan has agreed to divorce, I don't know why he is still insisting on it."
Miao Yijia said embarrassedly, "Aunt, my cousin won't listen to me."
"He's just confused now, but he'll eventually regain his composure," Miao Cuixia said. "Don't give up. I'm firmly on your side."
Miao Yijiajia smiled awkwardly.
After the meal was ready, the three of them sat around the dining table to eat. Miao Yijia brought two bottles of good wine. She opened one of them and poured it for Father Chen herself: "Uncle, please don't be angry with my cousin. It's not good for your health. He is still very filial."
Miao Cuixia smiled and said, "Our Jiajia is considerate, unlike that Xia Xuan who always has a sad face."
Father Chen: "Don't mention that rebellious son. It makes me angry."
"Okay, enough talking, let's eat." Miao Cuixia sat down and picked up a piece of fish for Miao Yijia with her chopsticks. "I bought some fresh fish at the market this afternoon. Try it."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Perhaps it was because the fish wasn't properly prepared, or perhaps her stomach was upset, but Miao Yijia suddenly felt nauseous after taking a bite. She tried to suppress it, so as not to be disrespectful in front of her elders, but the more she suppressed it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She quickly put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, and rushed to the bathroom.
She has lived here for some time and is very familiar with all the facilities in the house.
Father Chen was sipping white wine when he was stunned.
Miao Cuixia was also stunned.
"What are you still sitting there for? Go over and see what's going on." Father Chen put the wine glass on the table and ordered Miao Cuixia.
Miao Cuixia came to her senses and hurried to the bathroom. Miao Yijia was squatting by the toilet, vomiting. She had only taken a bite and couldn't vomit anything.
"Jia Jia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Miao Cuixia bent down, stroked Miao Yijia's back, and asked with concern.
Miao Yijiajia waved her hands, opened her mouth and started retching again, unable to speak.
As she watched, Miao Cuixia, as someone who had experienced this before, suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Jia Jia, you're not... pregnant, are you? Did you have your period this month?"
Miao Yijia placed one hand on the edge of the toilet, her nerves suddenly tense. After being reminded, she remembered that her period was indeed delayed this month.
Miao Cuixia noticed her dazed expression and was delighted. She helped her up and leaned closer to ask, "You didn't take any medicine after that night, did you?"
Miao Yijiajia's face gradually turned pale.
"Are you scared, kid? It's okay, it's okay, I'm here." Miao Cuixia comforted her, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and handed her a cup of water. "I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up to see if you are pregnant."
Miao Yijiajia's fingertips felt cold, and she took a sip of water from the cup.
"Oh, this is for you to rinse your mouth, why did you drink it?" Miao Cuixia said.
Miao Yijiajia looked a little dazed. She took another sip of water, rinsed her mouth, and spit it into the toilet. Her hands were shaking a little.
Miao Cuixia pulled her out and returned to the restaurant. She took the braised fish to the other side, away from Miao Yijia, fearing that the smell would make her feel sick.
"Is everything okay?" Father Chen asked casually after taking a bite of food.
"His father." Miao Cuixia couldn't hide her joy. "Jia Jia might be pregnant. Song Bai has a child. Our Chen family has an heir!"
Miao Cuixia's emotions became more and more excited, and her voice became louder.
Upon hearing this, Father Chen's gaze shifted between Miao Cuixia and Miao Yijia, and he happily smoothed his short gray hair: "Really?!"
Miao Cuixia: "I haven't gone to the hospital for a check-up yet, but judging from my experience, it's almost certain. I remember when I was pregnant with Songbai, I wanted to vomit whenever I smelled that fishy smell. Jiajia is exactly the same as me back then."
Miao Cuixia picked up some pork ribs and vegetables for Miao Yijia and said, "Jiajia, from now on, I will take care of you personally. Eat more. You look so thin. If you don't gain some weight, you won't have the strength to give birth in the future."
Miao Cuixia's words seemed to confirm that Miao Yijiajia was pregnant.
