After Tang Xiaorou and Shen Huaixu arrived in the capital with their two children, they went directly to the Shen family.
Shu Ruqiu saw them coming back and greeted them with a smile: "Huai Xu, you are here. The rooms are ready for you. Do you want to go and rest for a while?"
Shen Huaixu didn't say anything, but turned to look at Tang Xiaorou.
Tang Xiaorou smiled and said, "Mom, we won't rest anymore. We came here in the sleeper berth, so we're not too tired."
Shu Ruqiu nodded and said, "I'm not tired. OK, let's eat first. These are all your favorite dishes."
But before they could reach the dining room, Yan Xin came down. When she saw Tang Xiaorou and the others, she said directly, "Huai Xu, sister-in-law, you're here. You're here quite early."
Shu Ruqiu saw Yan Xin and hurriedly walked up to her and said, "Xin, didn't you say you wanted to sleep a little longer? Why are you coming down at this time?"
"Mom, I feel a little hungry again, so let's come down and eat together."
Hearing this, Shu Ruqiu hurried to the kitchen again, "I've been stewing chicken soup for you, drink a bowl first."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xin secretly glanced at Tang Xiaorou with pride, then hurriedly smiled and thanked Shu Ruqiu, "Thank you, Mom. You've been making chicken soup for me recently, and I feel like I've gained a lot of weight."
"You need to eat more when you are pregnant."
Shu Ruqiu brought over the chicken soup and asked Yan Xin to sit down quickly, "You're hungry, eat quickly." The eldest daughter-in-law was getting older and older, and she would give birth soon, so she was taking good care of her now.
"good."
Yan Xin sat down and enthusiastically invited Tang Xiaorou and the others to sit down as well. Her eyes were full of boasting.
Tang Xiaorou knew that Yan Xin was showing off on purpose, but she didn't care. She just asked the two children to prepare well and picked up a lot of dishes for them.
Shen Huaixu frowned and glanced at Yan Xin. He really disliked some of the behaviors of this sister-in-law, but he didn't say much. He just started eating quietly.
When Yan Xin saw that Tang Xiaorou and Shen Huaixu had no reaction, the smile on her face faded instantly. This young couple is really something. Didn’t they see that her belly is so big? How come they didn’t even say a word of concern?
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Shu Ruqiu hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Everyone, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
Halfway through the meal, Yan Xin suddenly held her stomach and cried out.
Everyone was stunned. Shu Ruqiu quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked nervously, "Xin, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yan Xin said with a smile: "Mom, I'm fine, it's just that the baby kicked me suddenly, and I was so surprised that I screamed."
Shu Ruqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"Really? I'm fine." But thinking about the baby making a fuss in her belly, she couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that the baby is very lively and active."
"Yeah, I feel like it should be a boy, otherwise why would he be so naughty." Yan Xin has already determined that she is pregnant with a boy. After all, this little guy comes over from time to time.
Shu Ruqiu's eyes lit up when he heard that, "Yeah, I think it's a kid too."
Tang Xiaorou saw the two of them smiling happily, so she lowered her head and ate in silence, not participating in the whole process.
At this time, Shen Huaixu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "It doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. It's a different era now. Women can also hold up half the sky."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became awkward.
Yan Xin's face flushed red, and she was about to refute when her mother-in-law Shu Ruqiu held her hand and said, "Huai Xu, we were just talking casually. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are both our treasures."
Seeing her mother-in-law say this, Yan Xin didn't say anything more, but she was still angry.
Of course she wanted to give birth to a boy, only by giving birth to a boy could she gain a foothold. But Shen Huaixu was acting weird, and no one knew what he was doing. Shen Huaixu and Tang Xiaorou were both grown up, and they adopted two children at once, and they didn't make any effort themselves. They would regret it in the future.
After the meal, Tang Xiaorou helped to clean up the dishes.
Yan Xin sat on the sofa, watching Shu Ruqiu and Tang Xiaorou busying around, her face full of complacency. She had not done any housework since she became pregnant. After she gave birth to a son, she would not have to do these things anymore. She just had to wait for others to prepare everything for her, because this was what she deserved. She was a senior official of the Shen family.
Tang Xiaorou was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Shu Ruqiu finally explained something.
"Xiao Rou, Xiao Xin is having a hard time during her pregnancy, so we don't let her do these things. Thank you for washing the dishes today."
Tang Xiaorou smiled and shook her head, "Mom, I'll come over. Sister-in-law really needs a good rest. I smelled the scent of Chinese medicine when I walked in. Is sister-in-law still taking medicine?"
Shu Ruqiu nodded and said, "Yes, your sister-in-law is still taking medicine. We all value this pregnancy very much, so your sister-in-law is paying special attention to it."
Tang Xiaorou thought about it and finally gave a reminder.
"It's a pregnancy-preserving medicine. Drinking too much is not good, so there's no need for you to keep drinking it, sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Shu Ruqiu asked nervously, "Really? I'll go talk to Xin later."
But after Yan Xin heard it, she glared at Tang Xiaorou and said, "Sister-in-law, can't you see me getting better? I took the medicine well, why did you say those things to mom?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm just reminding you kindly."
Yan Xin snorted coldly, "Who knows what you are thinking? Maybe you are hoping that something will happen to the baby in my belly."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou's face immediately turned cold. "Even though I don't like you too much, I won't have any ill will towards an unborn child. Since you think it's okay, then just ignore what I said."
Seeing the two daughters-in-law were on edge, Shu Ruqiu hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's have some fruit after dinner."
Although the two children came here by sleeper, they were still a little tired, so Tang Xiaorou asked Shen Huaixu to take them to rest for a while.
"I'm going out to do something. You can take the two children to bed first."
"Okay, go quickly."
Shen Huaixu knew that his wife was going to buy medicinal herbs. This time they came, they did not bring anything for the Huo family. Xiaorou planned to give them some health-preserving medicine.
When Tang Xiaorou arrived at Huichuntang, she bought a lot of medicinal herbs. Coincidentally, she ran into the man who came to get medicine last time but left in anger.
"Doctor, taking more abortion-preserving medicine will definitely help. Please prescribe some more for me."
"I've already told you that it's really unnecessary to take too many pregnancy-preserving drugs. And why doesn't the pregnant woman come over? Just ask someone to come over so I can take a look."
