"See? Even your sister-in-law says you're being unreasonable."
Xiao Lei was the type who loved watching a good show, so he ran off as soon as he finished speaking.
"I didn't, Qianqian, your brother is talking nonsense. Go take a shower."
Wei Yuyan told the two children to rest early, while she began designing the new house.
This time, she wants to build a two-story house with a courtyard.
The first floor has three rooms side by side. The middle room is the main room, the left room is used as a storage room for grains, dried vegetables, baskets, etc., and the right room is used as the kitchen.
There are two staircases on the left and right sides of the first floor leading to the second floor. The second floor has three rooms. I live in the middle, and Xiaolei and Qianqian live on the left and right sides respectively.
There's one downside: there are no guest rooms available. Wei Yuyan had originally planned to reserve one for her sister when she came to stay.
If it's designed this way, then when my older sister comes, she'll have to let Qianqian live with me.
Or you could put a bed in the storage room, so your sister and brother-in-law can sleep there when they come over.
After thinking it over, Wei Yuyan felt that the kitchen and storage room needed to be well planned and laid out to make the most of the limited space.
We need to dig a well in the front yard for easy access to water, and we also need to grow vegetables in the back yard. It's quite a huge project.
Wei Yuyan made a decision: once the land deed was issued, the first thing she would do was dig up the ground and plant vegetables, so that she would have vegetables to eat as soon as she moved in.
Now that I live here, I eat more of Aunt Guihua's food. She says she can't possibly finish it all by herself.
Sometimes Wei Yuyan would go to the vegetable garden at the old house and pick a big basketful to eat for several days.
The next day~
The village chief and his wife went to town early in the morning.
"I'm going to take care of something. I'll come find you when I'm done."
The village chief parted ways with her at the crossroads and went to the government office.
The village chief's wife arrived at her daughter's door, praying that her in-laws wouldn't be home that day.
"Knock knock knock~".
The village chief's wife knocked on the door.
"Go to sleep~".
As soon as the sound rang out, the village chief's wife thought, "Oh no, that old hag is really home."
"It's me, in-law. I've come to see Cuifang and Xiaosun. I didn't expect to find you at home."
The village chief's wife put on a smiling face.
"Yes, I came back last night. I still have to come back whenever I have time, because I'm worried about Cuifang's belly."
Young people are ignorant and don't know anything. Cuifang, your mother is here. I'll go make some tea.
After calling Cuifang out, Sun's mother went to the next room to make tea with a forced smile.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Liu Cuifang slowly came downstairs and was happy to see her mother.
"I brought some things to see you. I didn't expect your mother-in-law to be here. I knew I would come another day."
The village chief's wife lowered her voice.
"Sigh, she just wanted me to drink that medicine."
As Liu Cuifang spoke, she frowned. She already had little appetite due to morning sickness, and after taking the medicine, she could eat even less.
"My dear in-law, have some tea. It's perfect that you're here. Try to persuade Cuifang to eat more; she's too picky about food."
She said she couldn't eat this, and she said she had no appetite. She didn't eat any of the pig's trotters I cooked yesterday.
Sun's mother thanked her, saying she ate the bowl of braised pig's trotters by herself yesterday and was still a little full.
"Yes, but that's how it is for pregnant women. I heard you got some medicine for Cuifang, is it a pregnancy-preserving medicine?"
The village chief's wife deliberately brought up this matter.
"It's not a pregnancy-preserving drug, it's a drug that can help you have a boy."
Sun's mother was not afraid of others finding out about this; instead, she boldly admitted it.
"My dear in-law, this must be fake. I've never heard of it. Don't get sick from drinking it."
The village chief's wife was not convinced, saying that the first child could be either a boy or a girl.
"It's normal that you live in the countryside and haven't heard of this kind of secret medicine. I drank quite a lot of it when I was pregnant with my son, Wei'er."
This is something I heard from my master's house. It won't do any harm. This is my grandson in her belly. I wouldn't harm my grandson."
Sun's mother implied that the village chief's wife was unsophisticated.
"If you ask me, it's best to let nature take its course. Let it bloom first and then bear fruit. As long as it bears fruit, that's fine."
The village chief's wife was speechless after being rebuked; it was infuriating.
“My family has always had only one son per generation, so I think Cuifang is definitely carrying a boy.”
Sun's mother remained obstinate.
The village chief's wife couldn't argue with Sun's mother, but she felt sorry for her daughter.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law wasn't home very often either, only a few days a month.
"Mom, let's eat here for a while and talk to each other. We'll go out for a stroll this afternoon."
Liu Cuifang was usually bored at home, and Sun Wei was always busy at the clinic and didn't have time to take her out.
"Yes, mother-in-law, please eat here. I'll go buy groceries."
Sun's mother smiled, but it was a forced smile.
"No need, in-laws. Cuifang's father is in town on business. We'll be heading back soon after he's done."
If Sun's mother weren't here, the village chief's wife would definitely eat here and take her daughter for a stroll.
"Oh well".
Sun's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they weren't eating here, otherwise she would have had to go grocery shopping again.
"Mom, let me go back with you. I want to go back and have some fun too."
Liu Cuifang winked at the village chief's wife.
“Great, your dad has been saying for a while now that you haven’t been back for so long.”
The village chief's wife was also worried that her daughter might have to go home and eat something good to replenish her energy.
“No, Cuifang, I still need to brew medicine for you today. This medicine is hard to come by. If you want to go back to your parents’ home, go tomorrow.”
Sun's mother tried to stop her.
Liu Cuifang and the village chief's wife looked at each other, unsure how to refute.
"Alright then, Mother, I'll go back tomorrow."
Liu Cuifang pursed her lips, but for the sake of the money her mother-in-law had given her, she reluctantly drank it.
"Alright, your father is almost done with his business, so I'll head back now. Goodbye, in-law."
Seeing this situation, the village chief's wife lost her desire to stay any longer and got up to say goodbye.
"Take care, my dear in-laws."
Grandma saw him off at the door.
The village chief's wife felt a tightness in her chest and really wanted to argue with her. It was infuriating.
As I walked out of the alley, I ran into the village chief, who was returning from running errands.
"You came out so quickly? I was just about to go and call you."
The village chief thought the mother and daughter had much more to say.
"Stop talking, that old hag is here."
The village chief's wife said irritably.
"That's really unfortunate."
The village chief was glad he hadn't gone to look for his daughter; he didn't want to face that person.
"She's forcing Cuifang to take medicine again; Cuifang has lost weight."
The village chief's wife couldn't help but sigh as she recalled her daughter's worried and distressed expression.
"What kind of medicine should I give you? A medicine to prevent miscarriage?"
The village chief was puzzled as to why they were being forced to drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
"She drank medicine to have a boy. I told her that the medicine was ineffective, and she said I was ignorant because I was from the countryside."
I'm so angry! If it weren't for my daughter, I would have argued with her already.
The village chief's wife felt much better after saying it out loud.
