Chapter 39 Suffering from Pregnancy
Xia Yutong got up quite early; the sun had just risen.
She got dressed and went downstairs, where Su Qinglian was feeding Xiaomi porridge.
When she saw her arrive, Su Qinglian glanced at her.
Xia Yutong wore a white top and pink pants today, which made her look youthful and sweet. She is tall and has a good temperament, and this outfit made her look even more gentle.
Su Qinglian withdrew her gaze, "You're so lucky, you don't have to do anything and you wear a different outfit every day."
With a hint of jealousy in her voice, Xia Yutong tried her best to avoid a direct confrontation, "Where's the expedition?"
As soon as she opened her eyes, she didn't see Su Yuanzheng.
Su Qinglian didn't say anything, thinking to herself, "What are you pretending for?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Yutong didn't intend to ask any further and headed outside. Su Qinglian said, "You're really strange. We're all family, is there any need for this?"
Xia Yutong glanced at her, and Su Qinglian put down the bowl in her hand. "Men have worked all day, and it's not easy for them to rest at night. You make him make you sauerkraut, and then you make him make you a swing early in the morning. Can't you just buy one? Why do you insist on it being all handmade? Is your life more precious?"
Xia Yutong thought she was completely insane. Just then, Luo Caixia came out of the house. "What are you babbling about again? Are you a shrew all day long?"
Luo Caixia scolded, "If you can't get along with Liu Yaozong, then get a divorce. Stop arguing all day long. Liu's family called me and asked me how I am as a mother, leaving my daughter at my parents' house every day and spoiling you into having such a bad temper!"
Su Qinglian rolled her eyes. "Didn't I already tell you? If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer their calls."
“If they come to my door without my permission, won’t it make a scene and look bad?”
Su Qinglian slammed her chopsticks down. "She dares!"
Just then, Su Jianguo called out into the room, "Qinglian, your elders are home. Don't throw your chopsticks in front of them. It's completely disrespectful."
Upon hearing this, Su Qinglian calmed down slightly, but her expression remained icy.
Luo Caixia said, "Yutong's up? Why so early?"
"It's still early. What time is it? Yuanzheng went to the mountains to cut down trees before dawn."
"Come and eat, Yutong..."
Luo Caixia deliberately ignored Su Qinglian.
If a married daughter were to speak out about what she does at her parents' home, it would surely make Su Qinglian feel wronged. Luo Caixia didn't want to hurt her and hoped she would be more conscious of her actions.
If she had spoken more harshly, Su Qinglian would probably have said that a woman's life is hard; when she marries into her husband's family, she is not treated as one of them, and when she returns to her parents' home, she becomes an outsider.
Su Qinglian would say these things all the time, and Luo Caixia didn't know what to do with her. She could only try to avoid such things and provoke her as much as possible.
Xia Yutong sat down. "Mom, you don't need to help me. I'm still early in my pregnancy, you can't tell I'm pregnant."
"That won't do. If you keep vomiting like this, you'll become as thin as a bamboo pole."
Su Qinglian added, "She's strong. Last time it rained, she ran to the fields and got soaked but was fine. She's not that delicate. Even if she's not born into wealth, she won't get any diseases of the rich."
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense!"
Luo Caixia couldn't help but scold her, and Su Qinglian said unhappily, "Xia Yutong, just keep causing trouble. You won't be satisfied until you've exhausted my brother to death."
Su Jianguo stood at the door, repairing the leg of a small wooden stool. He was angry when he heard what Su Qinglian said, but he felt more helpless than angry.
A perfectly normal person, but they have to grow a mouth.
Just then, Su Yuanzheng returned from the mountains dragging a tree with him. He had cut down a wild pear tree, stripping it of all its branches, leaving only a thick trunk.
Xia Yutong, who was eating with her bowl in her hand, got up and went to the door. "Su Yuanzheng, what is this?"
“I saw you sitting here yesterday, and I thought I’d make you a swing.”
With Su Qinglian's cold snort, Xia Yutong finally understood what was wrong with this woman.
She couldn't understand whether all the sisters-in-law in the world disliked seeing their sisters-in-law living better than them.
Su Qinglian pulled Xiao Mi into the room for dinner, while Su Yuanzheng began to tidy up the wood, holding a knife in his hand.
Xia Yutong's mood suddenly became somewhat complicated. "Yuanzheng, no need. We can just buy these things online and have them delivered to the village entrance. We can pick them up then."
"The wood bought from outside contains formaldehyde."
Su Yuanzheng was covered in sweat, and his lean physique was very defined. "I get up early every morning, and I can finish it in about ten days."
He has very little time, but he makes sure to give it all to her.
Seeing her standing there, the man dropped the knife, wiped his hands with a towel, and helped her sit on a small stool by the door. "Dad, is it fixed?"
"It's fixed, and it's very stable now."
Su Yuanzheng helped her sit down and continued working on the wood.
The air was filled with the scent of wood.
Suddenly, Xia Yutong's eyes seemed to be flashed by something.
The conscientious reporters listened to Village Chief Wei and left, but some unscrupulous reporters, seeing the wave of yesterday's news online, couldn't contain their excitement and insisted on coming to Nanbian Village to dig for more news.
This flash of light also caught Su Yuanzheng's attention. The man frowned in displeasure and almost instinctively stood up, ready to go after it...
The other party took the photos from a motorcycle and then drove off.
Xia Yutong pulled him back, "Forget it, don't chase after them."
Su Yuanzheng nodded, "Eat more."
"Um……"
Xia Yutong took two more bites.
Perhaps her stomach wasn't feeling well that morning, or maybe the porridge was too thick, because Xia Yutong only ate a few bites before turning around and vomiting. Su Yuanzheng bent down to hand her a tissue, gently patting her back, looking very worried.
"He vomited again..."
Xia Yutong looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, so red they looked unnatural. This sight struck Su Yuanzheng's heart. He quickly wiped away her tears, then realized his hands were dirty. He was about to touch her face when he quickly pulled them back.
Su Yuanzheng's feelings were extremely complicated. What kind of illness did he have that made her suffer from pregnancy?
Xia Yutong's tears were physiological; they weren't tears she wanted to cry, but rather tears that would fall on their own after vomiting to a certain extent.
"Don't cry, Tongtong..."
"I didn't cry."
She raised her hand and touched it. "I'm just... a little uncomfortable."
Despite being pregnant, my stomach is unusually uncomfortable, and I also feel dizzy and weak.
I was perfectly fine just a moment ago, but suddenly I felt tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and I couldn't even stand up straight.
"What's wrong? It's perfectly fine porridge, I just drank some and I'm fine!" Luo Caixia said quickly.
Su Jianguo also came over and said, "Yutong, if you feel unwell, tell Dad."
Xiaomi stopped eating, rushed outside, and said to Su Qinglian, "Mom, the porridge is poisoned!"
Xia Yutong was pale and felt extremely dizzy. Su Yuanzheng quickly picked her up and carried her in his arms, "Tongtong..."
Xia Yutong fainted on the spot when she saw that the branches of the banyan tree above her head seemed to be connected to the sky.
