When Wei Jun came back that day, his face was not very good. After finding Luo Qiao, he said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go back to the country."

Luo Qiao stopped what she was doing and asked, "Did something happen?"

Wei Jun wiped his face and said, "Yesterday I ran into an old acquaintance in New York by chance. He told me something. I think I have to go back and deal with it myself."

It turned out that Wei Jun met an acquaintance in New York yesterday. That person told him that his ex-girlfriend was not doing well now. It seemed that she was kicked out of the house by her in-laws two months ago, and one of their children was seriously ill.

Her parents' family wouldn't let her visit, so she's living a very miserable life now. Wei Jun almost collapsed after hearing this.

The story is a bit bloody. They said Wei Jun's ex-girlfriend was named Xia Shanmei. Her mother's home and Wei Jun's home were in the same alley, and the two had been dating for a long time.

Originally, the two families had tacitly acknowledged their relationship and were planning to propose marriage, offer betrothal gifts, and arrange the marriage for them after the New Year. However, the two young people finally ate the forbidden fruit the day before the Wei army's vacation ended.

Under normal circumstances, they would get married right after the Chinese New Year, so it wouldn't be intolerable. But the bad thing was that Xia Shanmei's mother was greedy for money.

The affairs of the Wei and Xia families were known only to the two families. However, just after the Chinese New Year, the Xia family received a matchmaker who came to propose marriage. The betrothal gift offered was quite high, and most importantly, the man was a regular employee of the water company.

Xia Shanmei's mother was persuaded and thought that marrying a man with a formal job was better than marrying a soldier. She was also doing it for the good of her daughter. At first, Xia Shanmei disagreed and had a quarrel with her family.

But a month later, she found out that she was pregnant, but she couldn't contact Wei Jun at this time. Coincidentally, when Xia Shanmei went to Wei's house, she was scolded by Wei Jun's cousin. Wei Jun's cousin's classmate liked Wei Jun, so his cousin disliked Xia Shanmei.

At that time, Wei Jun's cousin was fostered in his home. Xia Shanmei couldn't find Wei Jun and felt that if she just moved into the Wei family, she would not have a good life, but her belly was getting bigger day by day.

Xia Shanmei was also quite clever. She made some preparations in advance on the wedding night and managed to hide it from the Ying family.

Soon after, the good news came out and she spent some happy time in her husband's family.

The Ying family's financial situation is actually average, but their daughter Ying Cai married well, marrying the son of a leader in the city. The Ying family's good life depends on this daughter, so Ying Cai, the daughter, has absolute say in the Ying family.

What Xia Shanmei didn't expect was that the child in her belly had long been planned by the Ying family. Ying Cai had been married to the Cheng family for several years, but her family was not happy. She had given birth to two daughters and was pregnant with another one, so they were hoping to give birth to a son.

Time passed one by one, and one day Ying Cai suddenly returned to her parents' home. Her forehead was covered with sweat and she didn't even bother to wipe it off. She endured the discomfort in her stomach and pulled her mother into the house to talk. Not long after, news came that Ying Cai was about to give birth.

Xia Shanmei was thinking at the time, fortunately, her elder sister-in-law went back to her parents' home and her stomach started to work. What if she was somewhere else? Her mother-in-law handed her a bowl of sugar water in her busy schedule. She was a little grateful at the time, thinking of her mother-in-law at this time. But not long after drinking it, she also had a stomachache and was about to give birth. She always thought it was a coincidence.

In the late 1970s, many families did not go to the hospital to give birth. However, after both pregnant women went into labor, Xia Shanmei's mother-in-law did not ask the family to find a midwife for help. Instead, she directed the family to go to the kitchen to boil water, and she was responsible for the delivery alone.

The eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a child first, and then Xia Shanmei also gave birth. However, she fell asleep due to exhaustion after giving birth. Before she fell asleep, she only heard her mother-in-law say that it was a little girl.

But the mother-in-law was not very angry. She comforted her and told her to take good care of herself, saying that flowers bloom before fruits, and asked her to relax.
