Qi Si had been back for less than a month after finishing his work in his hometown.
One day, Zhang Moqing was eating breakfast in the room alone when she suddenly felt extremely nauseous and kept vomiting. She called a doctor, who found out that she was pregnant.
It was so easy to get it, it can be attributed to Aunt Liu's unremitting efforts to make up for it.
Wen Yu heard in the morning that her good friend was looking for a doctor, and she was worried, so she ran to Zhang Moqing's yard to listen to the news. When the maid brought the doctor out, she winked at her.
I understood it immediately and rushed in to congratulate.
"Congratulations! This is really good news!"
Zhang Moqing sat on the couch by the window, her face flushed. At this moment, she did not have the worry and shock of her first pregnancy, but instead felt a little relieved: it relieved the ever-present pressure from Aunt Liu.
Wen Yu understood and smiled as she sat beside her: "Is Aunt Liu happy now?"
"Amitabha! It's true." Zhang Moqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Ayu, you don't know! Other mothers-in-law would make faces and say weird things when they dislike their daughters-in-law for not getting pregnant. But our mother-in-law... she cares about her day and night without stopping. She prays to Buddha, burns incense, and cooks soup for her. She reminds her to dress warmly every day and not to eat ice... She also gives her some..." Her face turned red, "It makes me feel so miserable. Now, I feel that this matter has nothing to do with me. It's all for her..."
Wen Yu's face turned serious: "Don't pay attention to her! With the proper mother-in-law here, she has to stand back..."
As he was talking, Aunt Liu came in after hearing the news. She was already making a fuss before she even entered the room. "Is Fourth Madam in the room? I heard a message..."
Zhang Moqing smiled helplessly. It seemed that Aunt Liu also had people in his yard.
Aunt Liu appeared with a grin on her face. She seemed surprised to see Wen Yu there, "Oh... So... Fifth Madam is here too!"
Her eyes and eyebrows were flying around, as if she was very surprised and shocked, and a little bothered. What she didn't say was: Pregnancy between sisters-in-law is a delicate and sensitive matter. One of them is just pregnant, so why don't you avoid suspicion?
Wen Yu and Zhang Moqing could both see these words on her face...
The two were both angry and amused! Zhang Moqing had a bad idea. He protected his stomach with one hand and looked at Wen Yu vigilantly, "Fifth brother's wife... Auntie is here, I'll talk to her... You..."
Wen Yu winked at her and reached out to touch her belly. Zhang Moqing looked nervous, as if saying, "Don't come over here..."
Aunt Liu, like lightning, decisively inserted herself between the two of them.
"Oh, Fifth Grandma! You can't touch me at this time! You can't touch me!"
Wen Yu didn’t touch it after all… She stood up with some regret, “Oh, well then! Then you take good care of it, I’ll go back first.”
Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Take your time. Wait until she's safe, then come and play with her!"
Wen Yu walked a few steps outside, then turned back and said, "Huh? Aunt Liu, Fourth Sister-in-law, according to the rules, shouldn't Madam add someone to Fourth Sister-in-law's room?"
Zhang Moqing was shocked by her fierce words. His body trembled and his eyes turned red.
Aunt Liu got angry as soon as she saw it, "Fifth Madam, you said that?! And we are in the other room! Oh, you have the nerve to..."
"My fourth sister-in-law and I are not strangers! Isn't this also for her own good?! Ask her what kind of people she can get along with easily. I'm going to Madam now to remind her to keep this in mind so that she can make arrangements quickly!"
Zhang Moqing moved again, tears almost flowing out, "You..."
Aunt Liu became even more anxious, "Fifth Madam! Look at what you are talking about! Aren't you two good sisters? Why are you making her anxious by saying these things at this time?"
Wen Yu acted as if her anxiety was my purpose: "Don't worry, don't worry. I'm young and ignorant. I don't know where I heard this."
Aunt Liu turned around and looked at Zhang Moqing, who looked distressed and sad, and said quickly: "There is such a saying, but it can't be called a rule. It was all discussed by the young couple. Even the lady has to respect their opinions. But no matter what, the son in your belly should be the most important! ”
Son... Zhang Moqing discovered with distress: new pressure has come again. Life is hard...
Zhang Moqing nodded quickly: "Ayu, thank you for your help. I will go and pay my respects to the Madam when I feel more at ease."
"Okay!" Wen Yu left happily.
Aunt Liu looked at Zhang Moqing with such satisfaction that she said, "These days are the most important, you must not be careless. Don't go out! Just send a maid to tell your mother, but don't tell outsiders! From now on, all the maids in your yard should be alert and not touch anything they haven't eaten before..."
Blah blah blah…
Zhang Moqing listened and nodded slightly, feeling a little proud. It came so quickly, isn't that quite capable of me?
Aunt Liu had said enough before she added cautiously, "Aunt knows that you are close to Fifth Grandma. But... you have to be careful too. As the old saying goes: You must always be on guard against others. No matter how good the relationship is, when it comes to future generations... you can't trust her completely. Just talk to her on a daily basis, and don't accept anything from her, especially... something that's imported." She had a mysterious expression and her eyes were shining.
Zhang Moqing knew her character and did not try to argue. He just listened and nodded.
Aunt Liu was relieved to see that she was obedient. While she was nagging, her thoughts were flying far away... If Xu was pregnant with another daughter, then her son would have the opportunity to give birth to the great-grandson of the Qi family!
I couldn't help but laugh wildly in my heart. It was really God's blessing. Although I didn't get the general's love in my life, I just muddled through like this. But the great-grandson of the Qi family... that was different.
When Qi Yu came home after finishing his work, he heard that his hospital had hired a doctor, so he hurried back to his room, only to hear such good news. He was usually quite smart, and he grinned foolishly.
Aunt Liu gave instructions for a long time, and even called Qi Si out to explain the matter between husband and wife again. When she was about to go back to the courtyard, she suddenly thought: Oh, I have two girls raised in my courtyard to accompany my son. There is also a good cousin's daughter in my mother's family. How come just now... did I block the way myself? Hearing the laughter of her son and Zhang Moqing in the room, she stood there thinking for a while, and then left unwillingly. In a few days, my son will know how powerful he is. Then, I will mention it again...
Even if there was no deliberate publicity, the news spread as fast as if it had wings.
Tan was the first to know! She smiled and said, "Oh my God! This is great news! Go and open my storehouse. Remember that the Marquis just brought back two boxes of blood swallows. Give them to Xiao Si's wife! Tell her not to go out, and don't run around me.
Everything will be settled after three months of pregnancy. I won't bother her for now! Let her take good care of herself and don't let outsiders see her for now. Amitabha, I really need to go to the temple to burn some incense!"
After the maid heard her instructions, she took the blood swallow and went out.
When no one was in the room, Tan leaned over and cursed angrily: "Zhu is useless! What is she for? How long has it been and she still can't get pregnant? She is so arrogant every day, but in the end, Wen Yu can't handle her and she still can't get pregnant! She is really incompetent! Liu's vision is also very bad. I am so polite to them, it really makes me angry!"
Sitting here and thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more unfair I feel!
Xu also heard the news. Although it was not surprising, she couldn't help but feel very upset.
My eyes are red again.
"Grandma!" Another maid came in and said, "The old lady sent two boxes of blood swallows. Wen Yu came out of Fourth Madam's room and went straight to Madam. When Madam heard about it, she didn't go either. She asked Madam Cui beside her to send a set of green jade and pearl flower head ornaments, and also took some banknotes! She said... I don't know what she wants to eat or use, so take the money and buy it yourself!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu became even more angry, "She gave back the silver? At that time, I only gave it to the head of the family! The wife of a concubine's son actually surpassed the wife of the eldest son. There is no one more foolish than her in the world! I have suffered so much injustice by marrying him! Until now... I am not allowed to take care of the family. He also went away and I don't know when he will come back. Bao'er is a heartless little boy. He went to the Cui family to enjoy a good life and would not come back easily. My grandmother alienated me, my mother-in-law did not love me, and my sisters-in-law laughed at me! I..." She covered her face and cried.
The girls in the room were also helpless. They used to be competitive, but why did they get angry at the slightest provocation and cry for nothing now?
A clever maid quickly advised: "Grandma! If you are to say, according to the current situation, you can also tell whether it is a boy or a girl. Talk to your sister-in-law and ask her to bring the doctor here as soon as possible."
Xu Minghui stopped crying all of a sudden. "Really? How could I have forgotten? Go home and tell my sister-in-law to ask her to get a doctor!"
The girl was about to leave when Xu Minghui called her back, "Wait!" After thinking for a moment, she said, "Give her two jars of the best osmanthus honey. Also, give her some of the small things we got from Wenyu's shop! She's a shallow-minded person, and you can't control her without any benefits."
So her sister-in-law came with the doctor the next morning.
The old doctor took the patient's pulse seriously.
