Chapter 559: Daughter Reborn (14)
When the Wang family found out that Wang Zhennan actually wanted to abandon his family and job here and go to the capital with Cui Shichu, they were shocked and tried various ways to persuade him not to be so impulsive. But Wang Zhennan was determined and kept trying to explain to the Wang family. However, he was not a good talker, so the two parties with conflicting opinions could not convince each other and the situation became deadlocked.
Cui Shichu had no idea about the dispute in the Wang family because of her. Zhou Zhiyuan's study intensity was getting higher and higher, and she was busy making delicious food for him to replenish his body, so she had no free time to think about other things.
Wang Zhennan hadn't shown up for a long time. Cui Shichu thought that he must have given up tactfully after listening to what he said, so he didn't take it to heart.
But because her steamed bun shop business was booming recently, more and more men were interested in her. Even though Cui Shichu told the men who came to propose marriage that she had no plans to remarry, those men would never give up and would often "chance to run into" her in places where she went, hoping that Cui Shichu would like them. This made Cui Shichu very annoyed, and in the end, she almost never went out except for necessary things.
Chen family.
Zhou Lizhi finally got pregnant as she wished, but for some reason, she had a very difficult pregnancy. Not only did she suffer from morning sickness, but she also often felt dizzy. When it was serious, she could not continue to work and could only lie in bed to recuperate.
I went to the hospital and the doctor said that morning sickness and dizziness are normal. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus develops rapidly and the pregnant woman's body cannot provide enough nutrition to the fetus in time, causing malnutrition and hypoglycemia, so dizziness will occur. The best way is to supplement nutrition and not overwork.
So the Chen family felt relieved and asked Zhou Lizhi to be patient for the sake of the baby in her belly. Chen Wenya also told her not to be so squeamish. All mothers go through this, so why is she the only one who complains so often?
Zhou Lizhi felt very aggrieved when she heard her husband say that. Pregnant women are prone to losing control of their emotions due to changes in hormone levels, and Chen Wenya ignored the hardships of her pregnancy and didn't even try to comfort her. Zhou Lizhi felt she couldn't stand it anymore and tears welled up immediately.
"Why are you crying? Do you still think you are right? Which woman doesn't get pregnant? You are the only one who is so delicate. It's really unlucky!" Chen Wenya said impatiently. He slammed the door and went out. He was not gentle and considerate as he used to coax her. Zhou Lizhi was even more sad. She cried out of breath. How could the considerate husband she thought he was become like this? Zhou Lizhi didn't know what she felt in her heart. Could it be that men change so quickly?
Because she cried so hard, Zhou Lizhi felt that familiar feeling of dizziness again. She was so scared that she stopped crying immediately and didn't dare to continue. She lay down, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.
Chen Wenya, who was tired of listening to Zhou Lizhi's complaints, came out of her house and met Liu Qi, a female colleague from the same office.
"Hey, Chen Wenya, why are you smoking here? Aren't you at home with your wife?" Liu Qi joked.
"She's fine, why does she need anyone to accompany her? It's me who has to be ordered around by her all day long and endure her temper. I'm the one who has it hard!" said Chen Wenya.
"No way? Zhou Lizhi has such a bad temper at home? How can she order you to do work? You are such a good husband!" Liu Qi said while pulling her pigtails, and then her eyes turned flexibly, as if jokingly saying, "If I had a husband as handsome and considerate as you, I would not be willing to order you around..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenya couldn't help but start to look closely at this colleague in her office. The fact that Liu Qi could work in the office meant that one of her academic qualifications or family background was outstanding. She herself was pretty and cute. Because she was young, her face still had some baby fat. When she smiled, she had dimples on her lips, and she looked lively and cute.
Chen Wenya's heart, which had been dormant for a while because of his marriage, suddenly began to beat with excitement. He curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a charming and devilish smile, and asked Liu Qi: "It seems that there is a new movie in Hong Kong coming out recently. Do you want to go watch it together?"
"Okay!" Liu Qi raised his head and agreed immediately, looking innocent, as if it was a very normal thing to go to the movies with a married man.
Zhou Lizhi had no idea that the husband she had been dreaming of marrying was going to the movies with other girls, and that she was now being pointed at and scolded by Chen's mother.
Because she was hungry, she got up to cook a bowl of noodles. When she saw the meat she had bought at home, she cut some and cooked it with the noodles. As a result, she was seen by Chen's mother, who immediately became angry like a firecracker.
"You bitch! How dare you eat meat while I'm not home?! I bought this meat with great difficulty and we all ate it together tonight. But you secretly cooked and ate it yourself. How can you be so selfish?! What did your parents teach you? How could you do such a thing as eating meat? You spendthrift woman! The men in the family didn't even get to eat meat, but you ate it first. How could my son marry a lazy, greedy, bad woman like you..."
Chen's mother scolded her very badly. Zhou Lizhi couldn't help but defend herself: "I didn't eat secretly. I was just hungry. I saw there was meat, so I cooked a little. The doctor said that I need to eat well to replenish nutrition for my body while I am pregnant."
"Bah! What nutritional supplement do you need? I think you are just greedy! When I was pregnant with Wen Ya, I didn't have a full meal and I hadn't even smelled the taste of minced meat. Yet, I gave birth to him safely. He is more successful than anyone else now! You have three meals a day and you are well fed now. Why do you need nutritional supplements? You obviously want to steal food! You meat thief!" Mother Chen didn't listen to her explanation and continued to curse.
Zhou Lizhi felt aggrieved and embarrassed. She was just hungry and wanted to eat some meat. How could that be considered stealing?
"Mom, I'm also a member of the family. I'm pregnant with your grandson. Isn't it normal for me to eat some meat at home? You can't accuse me of stealing it." Zhou Lizhi wiped her tears and defended herself. She could imagine the gossipy aunts and uncles at the door of her house eavesdropping on the quarrel between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law with shining eyes. In less than a day, the news that she secretly ate meat at home would spread throughout the compound, and even the factory...
Zhou Lizhi wanted to faint when she thought of this possibility. She couldn't help but resent Chen's mother: "Mom! I'm not cheating! I hand over my salary to the family every month, how come I can't even eat a little meat? Do you want to abuse me?"
Zhou Lizhi was not a pushover. She soon started arguing with Chen's mother and no longer tolerated it for Chen Wenya's sake. Of course, it might also be because she was easily out of control due to her pregnancy. In short, the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was heard by the neighbors. Houses of that era had poor sound insulation, so everyone knew what happened in each family and there was no privacy at all.
