Chapter 17 Returning home to tell the good news
"Sister-in-law, you see, I told you that I had something to do. Fortunately, we came to the clinic today. Otherwise, if we listened to you and continued to go to work, if something happened, it would be too late to regret it."
After leaving the clinic, Cui Xue said to Liu Ping happily and thankfully.
Liu Ping, who had finally come to her senses, touched her belly subconsciously after hearing her words, and was also afraid in her heart.
"The doctor said that you are tired and the fetus is unstable. Let me have a good rest." Cui Xue saw the fear on her face and gave her a few worried instructions.
When the doctor was talking just now, she was daydreaming, and Cui Xue saw it all.
Knowing this good news, Liu Ping, the biological mother, must be more excited than herself as an aunt, so she listened to the doctor's instructions very seriously.
"I see." Liu Ping nodded seriously, and then seemed to think of something, and hesitated and wilted.
"But it will be time for the double rob in a few days. If I rest at home, won't people gossip about me? Dad is the team leader of the village, and I, as his daughter-in-law, can't hold him back, right?"
Cui Xue was stunned. She didn't expect that she was still thinking about the double rob. But after thinking about it, she seemed to understand her idea.
People of this era were not as fragile as those in later generations.
Compared with anything else, food is the most important thing. After all, those who have survived the most difficult times regard food as more important than their own lives.
Liu Ping also went through that time, and inevitably she will have sequelae.
This sister-in-law didn't have any major problems, just some minor ones, which everyone could understand. Moreover, she was indeed diligent and filial, and most importantly, she was clear-headed, which was very rare.
So Cui Xue accepted her very quickly, and even felt sorry for her after a long time of contact.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. I'll do your job for you. You can do some light work. Anyway, you have a child now. The doctor also told you to rest more. Even if others want to say something, they dare not say it openly."
Cui Xue saw that she was still worried, so she said:
"Sister-in-law, the mouth is on others. We can't stop others from saying anything. Besides, my parents don't care, so you don't have to care. The most important thing now is you and the baby in your belly. If others say something about you, tell me and I will teach them a lesson!"
Hearing her say this, Liu Ping laughed out loud.
"You, don't play tricks. How can you teach those gossipers a lesson?"
Even if she wanted to, it is estimated that before Cui Xue could do anything, her mother-in-law Liang Xiaoying would rush out and tear it apart.
Cui Xue took Liu Ping to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some brown sugar and malted milk for her. Liu Ping couldn't stop them and felt so distressed on the way back.
The brown sugar that Liang Zongshan brought last time had been eaten up long ago. The Cui couple really loved Cui Xue, their daughter, and they didn't hide any delicious food from her.
When she took over the sheepfold and had to write articles to make money, she was busy every day. The two of them naturally felt sad.
Liang Xiaoying stuffed all the brown sugar into her stomach. Of course, Liu Ping also had a share every time, but she could only eat it once or twice, and after a long time, she found excuses not to eat it.
After all, it was given to the sister-in-law by someone else. What's the matter with her eating it often?
So there was really nothing in the house that could be considered a tonic.
By the time they got home, the whole afternoon had passed. Cui Xue and Liu Ping came home. Before they even entered the house, she shouted loudly that there was good news.
"Oh, what good news? Tell us so that we can be happy."
Most of the houses in the village are still adobe houses. Not only are the sound insulation poor, but there is also no entertainment at this time. After work, most people would go out to chat after dinner.
What a coincidence, Cui Xue was howling at the door of her house and actually ran into Aunt Yao, the gossipy woman.
Judging from her expression, she didn't have any good intentions. I guess she wanted to hear some gossip to gossip outside.
"Oh, it's Aunt Yao. This is a great thing for our family, but since you asked, I'll tell you as well so you can be happy."
Cui Xue smiled maliciously, and then said without keeping the secret: "My sister-in-law is pregnant!"
"Oh! Is this true?" Aunt Yao hadn't reacted yet, Liang Xiaoying, who heard the noise and came to the door, shouted.
As she spoke, she rushed out of the house with a look of surprise, came to Liu Ping, looked up and down, and then put her eyes on her belly.
"From the old family?" Liang Xiaoying looked at Liu Ping again with a look of confirmation.
"Mom, it's true. Xueer took me to the town's health center for a check-up, and the doctor said that I have been pregnant for more than a month." Liu Ping answered with a smile of affirmation.
"Oh my God, oh my God! Such a great event, such a great event!" Liang Xiaoying slapped her thigh with joy, and was so excited that she didn't know how to express her emotions.
Auntie Yao, who had come to her senses, curled her lips with a very unpleasant look.
"You should be happy indeed. Your eldest daughter-in-law has been married for such a long time, and you just got pregnant. Your eldest son almost got a lot of gossip about her."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you gossipy woman?" Liang Xiaoying exploded as soon as she heard it.
Auntie Yao was notoriously foul-mouthed and loved to gossip. She talked about other people's affairs every day, and many people in the village disliked her.
It was just that she was rarely caught gossiping in front of others, so everyone could only swallow their anger.
And the gossip about the Cui family that was spread in the village, needless to say, was spread by her.
I won’t talk about Cui Xue’s story. At first, it was said that Liu Ping couldn’t give birth and was a hen that didn’t lay eggs. Later, it was said that Cui Yingxiong was not good enough and the Cui family wanted to extinct.
In fact, it was all because of poverty. Liu Ping had been married to the Cui family for quite a while, but she still had no children. It wasn’t that they didn’t want one, but the Cui family was not in a hurry and the conditions didn’t allow it.
After going through that difficult period, although the Cui family had a captain, they were not well-off.
After Liu Ping entered the family, she soon became pregnant, but she lost the baby before she realized it.
Later, they went to see the doctor and said that her foundation was weak and she couldn’t keep the baby.
So the Cui family told her not to think about having a child so quickly, but to make up for her foundation first.
She couldn’t keep suffering from losing a child, her body couldn’t stand it.
Even though Liu Ping wanted a child very much, she was obedient and never had one.
The birth of this child was also an accident. Perhaps it was because Liu Ping's health had improved in the past two years that she had this child.
I'm getting off topic. Auntie Yao rolled her eyes after hearing what Liang Xiaoying said. She said coldly, "It's true that being able to have a child is nothing. Who knows if the child can be born? Even if it is born, if it's a girl..."
She smiled again, which made Liang Xiaoying angry.
