Chapter 129 Continuation of the Family
Madam Shen also heard that Xu Qingmeng was also pregnant, but she was still a little pregnant, so she smiled and said, "Madam Gu, you don't look any different during your pregnancy, which is really good, unlike me."
Xu Qingmeng said: "I am just more sleepy and afraid of heat, maybe because I have a better physique."
When Mrs. Shen heard her say this, she looked enlightened, her eyebrows drooped, and she felt worried: “Yes, if you are in good health, you will suffer less, unlike me?”
Xu Qingmeng was puzzled: "Madam Shen, what are you doing..."
Madam Shen smiled slightly, with a hint of melancholy in her smile, and said desolately: "The Shen family only has Jinwen as a son, and the elders in the family wanted me to give birth to a son for the Shen family, but my first child was a girl, and my second child was also a girl. When I gave birth to Rongrong, the doctor said that I might not be able to have children in the future. Who knew that God would still favor me and let me get pregnant again, but it was still a girl after all."
"This... Boss Shen didn't say that." Shen Jinwen didn't even know about such a big thing?
Madam Shen shook her head: "When Rongrong was born, he was out doing business, and only my father-in-law was at home. He came back two days after Rongrong was born, so I kept it a secret and no one knew about it."
The ancients paid attention to passing on the family line. Mrs. Shen kept it a secret and lost control of her emotions due to the great psychological pressure. She could understand that, but hasn't she given birth yet? How do you know it must be a girl?
After all, this is not the modern era where you can tell the gender of a person through instruments.
"It's not like she hasn't given birth yet? How does Mrs. Shen know it must be a girl?"
Madam Shen sighed softly, with helplessness in her eyes: "Madam Gu, you don't know, the symptoms of my pregnancy this time are extremely similar to those of the previous pregnancy, and this pregnancy is also correct. I have consulted several midwives, and they said the same thing."
After hearing this, Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Madam Shen. In this era, if a woman cannot give birth to a son for her husband's family, she does face a lot of pressure.
Xu Qingmeng frowned: "Boss Shen doesn't seem to be such a pedantic person."
"He is naturally not that kind of person, otherwise we would not have left our hometown. In our hometown, the old man often saw Rongrong and I were not satisfied, so he brought me to settle down in Yan County. Although he has never revealed it, as a son, how could he not care about the inheritance of the family and the continuation of the incense?" Mrs. Shen said.
"So, Mrs. Shen is upset about this?"
"Did Rongrong's father say that?"
Before Xu Qingmeng answered, she said, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm more sensitive because of pregnancy, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, which makes me very upset. I also know that I did something wrong and shouldn't lose my temper with him, but I can't help but think about it. I'm afraid that the girls and sisters-in-law in the alley will mess around. After this pregnancy, I'm afraid I won't be able to have children again. I don't know how to face the ancestors of the Shen family in the future, and I don't know how to face him... I really don't know what to do."
I don’t know if it’s because she’s been stuck at home all day and hasn’t had any contact with outsiders, or maybe it’s because they’re all pregnant, but it was the first time Xu Qingmeng met her, and Mrs. Shen couldn’t help but talk, and as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Qingmeng quickly handed over the handkerchief: "Mrs. Shen, please don't be sad now. It's not good for the baby in your belly."
Madam Shen took the handkerchief and wiped it gently, then asked Xu Qingmeng: "Madam Gu, this Gu Yunyi is very knowledgeable. If he becomes famous in the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, will you be worried?"
Xu Qingmeng was suddenly stumped by this question.
She is now becoming more and more integrated into the Gu family, and because of her pregnancy, she has also become accustomed to Gu Yunyi.
But even though they had slept in the same bed for a while and even though she was pregnant, she didn't seem to have completely regarded him as her husband, and naturally hadn't thought about these jealous things.
It can also be said that after some evasion planning, she just wanted to be content with the status quo. Gu Yunyi is the father of her child, and this is also good.
Xu Qingmeng remained silent, but in Mrs. Shen's opinion, she shook her head and said, "It seems that all women have worries."
Xu Qingmeng had never experienced this. In her previous life, she was a food blogger and had never been in love. In fact, she couldn’t really understand Mrs. Shen’s thoughts.
but······
She then smiled and said, "In my opinion, Mrs. Shen really doesn't need to worry too much. We all see how Boss Shen treats you. You rarely go out, so you may not know that when he deals with people outside, he often mentions you, and his words are full of tenderness, which cannot be faked."
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised: "He, he often mentions me to others?"
"Of course. Let's not talk about what happened before, we may not understand. But these days, knowing that you have morning sickness and can't eat anything, he rarely goes to the store to make you eat more. He wanders around the streets every day, trying to find some rare ingredients so that you can eat something. Everyone around here knows it.
And since he brought you to settle down in Yan County, I think Boss Shen might know that he just hopes you won't be too burdened. And seeing how much he dotes on Rongrong, I think he is definitely not that kind of pedantic person. ”
Madam Shen paused, thinking about something, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Xu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief and stayed with her for a while. He watched her eat a lot before he got up and left.
Before leaving, Mrs. Shen was still a little reluctant to leave, and said, "I came to Yan County, but I don't have any friends. I haven't talked to anyone so much in a long time. I really troubled you today. You took the trouble to talk to me so much. Thank you very much."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen is so polite. There is still a long time to go. If you feel better, come out and walk around. Come to my house with Rongrong. It will be good for your future childbirth. There are many people at home, it's lively, and everyone can talk and feel better."
"Okay, don't mind me coming to your house every day then."
"Won't."
After leaving Shen's house, Xu Qingmeng went back with the basket. No one knew where Yun Sheng and the others had gone to play, and they were not seen when they walked under the big tree.
At the Gu Family Restaurant, Shen Jinwen was still here. The table had been cleared. He put some fruits and snacks on it, and went outside to wash the braised ingredients with Aunt Tang and Aunt Li who came with her.
Seeing Xu Qingmeng coming back, He asked, "Are you tired? Have you eaten anything?"
Xu Qingmeng said: "I'm not tired. I ate a lot."
"That's fine. How can you not eat while you're pregnant? It seems the food is not tasty enough and you have no appetite. The food you cook makes me hungry." He said with a smile.
