Chapter 42: What a miserable life



Li Mingfang thought that she was pregnant and her emotions couldn't fluctuate too much, so he left without saying anything.

Old Lady Li said, "Eat some food to fill your stomach."

"Why buy steamed buns? Just buy some steamed buns."

"Your sister-in-law gave it to me for free. Remember to return the favor later."

Yang Daya wanted to say a few more words, but was choked by these words and stopped talking.

After seeing her eat, Old Lady Li went out to look for Li Mingfang.

The lady next to her said, "You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings. Who would be willing to let their daughter-in-law be hospitalized? Your husband is really worried about you and has been with you all the time without leaving."

Yang Daya curled her lips and said, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Outside the ward, Li Mingfang said, "Mom, why don't you go home?"

"You think I want to be here? Your wife really needs to control her temper."

"Mom, I know."

In the end, Old Lady Li did not go home and stayed here with Li Mingfang.

Li Mingqing went to meet Zhou Jiangang after get off work.

"Brother Li, thirty pieces of honeycomb coal, count them."

"How can I not trust you?" he said and gave the money to Zhou Jiangang.

"Do you want me to send these briquettes back to you?"

"No, go ahead. I've already told my wife that I'll be here soon."

After Zhou Jiangang left, Li Mingqing moved the coal briquettes into the space and rode his bicycle home.

"Wife, how is Yang Daya?"

"I can't be discharged from the hospital for the next two days. I have to stay in the hospital to protect the fetus."

"This looks pretty serious. I'll go to the hospital early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll make some egg pancakes for you to take to Mom. I'm sure she won't be able to afford to buy food."

"Thank you, my dear wife. This isn't Yang Daya's first pregnancy, so why didn't she pay any attention?"

Sun Jiaxue sighed and said, "I guess she never knew she was pregnant."

"Wife, you have to take good care of yourself. If you feel any discomfort, don't endure it."

"Brother Mingqing, I'm not feeling unwell at all, don't worry."

Li Mingqing looked at the grass beads hanging on the door and said with a smile: "You know what, it looks pretty good after hanging it up."

"Wife, do you want to go to work in town?"

"Me!?"

"Yeah, if you want to go to work, I'll go ask around."

"No need, I don't know how to do anything. I'm fine at home. Besides, who will cook for you if I go to work?"

"It's true that my wife loves me."

Li Mingqing was interrupted just as he was about to say something clingy.

When he came out and saw that it was the village chief, he almost cursed.

"Village chief, why are you here?"

"Look at what you said. I can't come to your house yet. Is your sister-in-law okay?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll be back in two days once the pregnancy is stable."

"You're doing well at work, right? You have to work hard. You're the number one worker in our village, and many people are watching you."

"Don't worry, Village Chief. I won't bring shame to the village."

The village chief nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. People from the surrounding villages all envied their Lijia Village for having a capable person who not only could drive but also worked in the supply and marketing cooperative.

He felt quite proud of it.

I saw Sun Jiaxue quietly dropping a drop of spiritual spring water into the flour while kneading dough to make pancakes.

I hope Yang Daya can be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Li Mingfang's family financial resources cannot sustain him from living like this. He will definitely be penniless in a week at most.

These days, no one goes to the hospital and just fights off illnesses. It all comes down to poverty.

Just after sending the village chief away, the team leader came over.

"Uncle Captain, my third sister-in-law is fine and will be back in a few days."

The captain sighed and said, "I didn't come here to talk about this. Alas, I can't even bring myself to speak."

Li Mingqing immediately sounded the alarm.

"Uncle, if you have any problems, you should go to the village chief. You have seen all the storms and waves, and I may not be able to help you."

"Ming Qing, you're the only one who can help with this."

"Hehe, it's not your daughter's business, is it?"

"Go and persuade Xiangxia, considering you grew up together. She's been making a fuss at home, refusing to eat or drink."

It turned out to be Li Xiangxia’s business.

"Uncle, I know Xiang Xia. If she doesn't eat or drink, she's definitely not hungry. Otherwise, someone must be secretly sending her food. You must not believe it."

Li Mingqing spoke with righteousness and confidence.

He didn't believe that someone as scheming as Li Xiangxia could think about it, let alone not eat or drink.

The team leader was too concerned and became confused, and was betrayed by his family.

"Oh, how could such a good girl become like this?"

"You'd have to ask my aunt, maybe she took me astray."

He spoke without any reservations, saying whatever came to his mind, which left the captain stunned.

"Captain, I speak my mind, please don't take it to heart."

"Never mind, never mind."

The captain waved his hand and left without saying anything else.

Li Xiangnan is in Old Man Li's room.

"Grandpa, when will my parents come back?"

"I'll be back in two days. You sleep with grandpa tonight."

After hearing this, he sat there obediently. He was scared and cried in the morning, and he still feels scared now.

"Dad, come to my room for dinner."

Just when Old Man Li was worrying about how to cook for his children, Li Mingqing came over, which made him very happy.

"Uncle, have you seen my mother?"

"I didn't see it but your aunt did. Your mother is fine. Her wrinkled little face looks like a bitter gourd."

Li Jiaxue heard these words when she brought the meal over.

"Brother Mingqing, he's just a child."

Li Xiangnan looked at the table full of food and instantly forgot his sadness. His stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Even though he is a child, he is the last one to put down his chopsticks.

The flat belly became round and plump.

Li Xiangnan had already fallen asleep when Li Lizhu and Zhang Lihua came over.

It is reasonable for both sisters-in-law to come and take care of the child. Even if they don't have money, they can still take good care of the child.

Zhang Lihua said, "Fourth brother, please let Daya take good care of the baby in the hospital. Xiangnan is under our care and will be taken good care of."

"Okay, I'll definitely pass on the message tomorrow."

The next morning, Li Mingqing got up reluctantly.

Sun Jiaxue handed him a small basket and pushed the bicycle to the door.

"Brother Mingqing, I saw you didn't eat much just now, so I brought you a portion in the basket. If you are hungry, eat something."

"Wife, do you mistake me for Xiangnan?"

"I'm worried that you might feel uncomfortable if you don't eat a good breakfast after getting up so early."

Li Mingqing said with a warm heart: "Don't worry, your man is not the kind of person who would put himself in a difficult position."

He was cursing halfway through the walk.

His step-brother should be very grateful to him. He should have been sleeping with his sweet wife at this time.

What a miserable life.
