While they were sleeping, Li Qing and her mother-in-law sat at the entrance of the main room, sewing shoe soles in the bright light outside.
"Why are you here?" Li Qing was overjoyed to see them coming. He put down the things in his hands and stood up.
Her mother-in-law put away the things Li Qing had just put down on the table in the room, and came out with a smile to greet her.
"We heard that you were pregnant, so we came to see you." Sister Yanhong said as she handed over the things in her hand, and Tang Wan also handed over.
They gathered ten eggs and brought them over.
Eggs are also precious items now, so Li Qing immediately declined.
"Just take it. I know you haven't been feeling well these past few days. Eating some eggs can help replenish your body. Nothing is more important than the baby in your belly." Tang Wan and Sister Yanhong both advised her.
Granny Li Qing also came over and when she saw the eggs they were holding, she repeatedly declined, "Just come over to play with her. Don't take such valuable things."
"This isn't for Li Qing, it's for the baby in her belly."
"Yeah, keep it. When the baby is born, we can come and have a feast."
"僢僢僢." Li Qing was the first to give in and took the egg and handed it to her mother-in-law.
Tang Wan had heard before that Li Qing's mother-in-law was frail and sickly, but now she seemed to be in good health.
Perhaps the expression on Tang Wan's face was too obvious. Li Qing watched her mother-in-law go to the kitchen and said, "Before, my father-in-law was in poor health and Dazhuang couldn't get married, so my mother-in-law became sentimental and unwell. Now that my father-in-law is gone and Dazhuang has a wife, she's motivated again and her health is much better."
"People need to have hope in life."
"Who says it isn't?"
Grandma Li Qing went to the kitchen and never came out again, probably to leave them a place to talk.
Li Qing took the two of them to sit in the room.
"Zhong Ling was busy, so I didn't tell her and she didn't come." Sister Yanhong thought of this explanation after sitting down.
"Sister Yanhong, stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows that she and I have conflicts. If she hadn't wronged me, this wouldn't have happened. No matter how well I live, I will hate her for the rest of my life. Even if you tell her, she won't come to see me, and even if she does, I won't let her in." Li Qing ruthlessly punctured Sister Yanhong's statement.
Sister Yanhong's face immediately turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
"No, she is getting married soon and is busy these days." Sister Yanhong wanted to explain for Zhong Ling.
"I know, it's just with Zhao Dong. She has been interested in him for a long time. Now that she fails, it just suits her wish." Li Qing's eyes were full of disdain.
Zhao Dong's family lived in the same alley as Li Qing's, with only two houses between them, and she and Zhong Ling had met each other many times.
"Did you succeed?" Tang Wan paid attention to Li Qing's words.
"That's right. You're so far away that you don't know. This marriage was planned by Zhong Ling herself. Who knew what would happen? The night after the corn harvest, Zhao Dong's father is also a veteran in the village. He was so happy after the corn harvest that he asked Zhao Dong to accompany him for a drink. Who knew that the next day, Zhong Ling and Zhao Dong were in bed together..."
Li Qing spoke of it with a certain gloating satisfaction: "That morning, a neighbor's aunt went to his house to return something and heard Zhong Ling's screams. That's how the matter was resolved. Zhao Dong just said he had no recollection of it. Zhong Ling was crying on her own, and no one else knew. I think she did it on purpose."
Li Qing didn't give Zhong Ling any face at all.
"Zhao Dong's mother really likes Zhong Ling, but I noticed that Zhao Dong has always been cold towards Zhong Ling. I guess that's why she came up with this idea. Now Zhao Dong's mother is a little dissatisfied with her because she has ruined her son's reputation."
