Chen Juan was dumbfounded when she looked at the few cents in her hand.

She never expected that after working for so many years and earning so many work points a year, she would only get this little money in the end.

"Our family is not like the Gu family, who has a soldier sending money back home, nor do we have a worker. We only get a few dozen dollars every year, and after deducting food and drink, there is only this much left." Lu Qingshan said to Chen Juan calmly, which was rare:

"I'll give you 100 kilograms of food. You and Shitou can eat as much as you want. If you run out of food, find a way to get it back to me."

"Why do you only give me so little food? I don't agree?" Chen Juan was immediately unhappy when she heard that the man only gave her so little food.

"In addition to the food that was distributed initially, I also bought some with the money from the division of the family. The money from the division of the family was given to me by my parents, so it has nothing to do with me at all." After Lu Qingshan said this, he picked up the packed clothes, slowly went downstairs, put on his shoes, and went to his parents' house.

"Lu Qingshan, I don't agree. This little food is not enough for me and Shitou to eat." Chen Juan saw Lu Qingshan go out and stood in the house and shouted.

"Brother, what is my sister-in-law shouting about?" Zhao Xiaohua heard the shouting from inside the house, came out of the kitchen, looked at Lu Qingshan and asked

"Let her yell whatever she wants. Don't pay any attention to her." Lu Qingshan had completely lost his patience with Chen Juan. When Lu Qinglin came back, he asked him to carry 100 kilograms of food to Chen Juan.

Then he took the key and locked the warehouse door, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Section 56

Since that day on, Lu Qingshan and Chen Juan were completely separated, whether it was eating, sleeping, or anything else.

Although Chen Juan was unwilling, she still endured her life in order to avoid being divorced and sent back to her parents' home.

On Lu Qingyan's side, her mother was anxiously wondering why her family didn't reply to her letter and whether something had happened.

Gu Mingze came back from get off work and handed the letter he received today to Lu's mother and said, "Mom, this is the letter I received today. It was mailed by my eldest brother."

"Then help me see what's written in it." Mother Lu looked at her dirty hands and asked her son-in-law to read it to her instead of picking it up.

Gu Mingze obediently opened the letter and said, "Mom, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother said that the rain has stopped at home, and the team is busy now. Don't worry about home. They are all fine. They also said that they are saving food, so don't worry about it."

"That's good, that's good." After hearing this, Mother Lu felt relieved.

"Mom, my brother and the others said everything is fine at home, so you don't have to worry about it. Just put your mind at ease." Lu Qingyan walked out holding her belly and said with a smile

"Slow down, slow down." Gu Mingze watched his wife come out and hurriedly stepped forward to support her and ask her to slow down.

Gu Mingze didn't understand. His wife's belly hadn't grown at all before, but after three months, it was growing rapidly.

This four-month-old belly is almost as big as a six-month-old belly.

At first his mother-in-law thought she was pregnant with twins.

He took his wife to the health center for a check-up, and the result showed that she was pregnant.

He worried for nothing, but now seeing his wife's belly so big, he is still worried.

He was afraid that something might happen to his wife when he wasn't paying attention.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't make a fuss." Lu Qingyan felt that the man was making too much of a fuss. She hadn't even started to feel anything, but she was already so nervous by this man.

"Mingze is not making a fuss, he is just concerned about you." Mother Lu was annoyed when she heard her daughter's words. She rolled her eyes and said, "Go out and see which man treats his wife like this? Only you are so ungrateful."

"Mom, I'm not ungrateful, it's just that he made a fuss out of nothing. I didn't feel anything at first, but now I'm nervous." Lu Qingyan said carefully as she sat on the cushioned chair.

"That's right." Mother Lu nodded in agreement and said, "Mingze, don't make such a fuss in the future. Tell me, if you scare her again, which part is too much and which part is too little, right?"

"I understand, mother. I will try to control myself in the future." Gu Mingze also knew that he was too nervous. After hearing what his mother-in-law said, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Since your eldest brother and his family are fine at home, I won't worry about them. Let's eat." Mother Lu went to the bathroom to wash her hands, then came out and went to the kitchen to take the food out of the pot.

"You should eat more eggs and meat. Don't always eat vegetables. It's not good for the baby in your belly." Mother Lu sat on the stool and watched her daughter picking up slices of cabbage and shredded potatoes. She also picked up some fried eggs and meat for her daughter.

"Mom, I can't eat these. I just think these potato chips and shredded potatoes are especially delicious." Lu Qingyan put the meat and eggs that her mother had just put into her bowl back into her mother's bowl and said

"Okay, stop serving her food. Just eat whatever she wants. Just make sure she's full." Father Lu said as he watched the old woman serving her food.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't give her any more." When Mother Lu heard the old man talking about her, she stuffed the meat in the chopsticks into her mouth and said

"Mom, I'm not greedy. I'll ask you to make it for me when I feel hungry." Lu Qingyan saw that her mother seemed to be angry, so she said coquettishly.

"Well, if you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll make it for you." Mother Lu nodded.

After finishing their meal, they went out for a walk downstairs.

"Uncle and Madam, Captain Gu, are you here to take your younger brother and sister out for a walk again?" Guo Yan felt uncomfortable living on the second floor a few days ago, so she moved back to the first floor. Now she is sitting outside the door to enjoy the cool air.

Looking at the family going downstairs for a walk, I could not express my envy in words.

When she was pregnant with her eldest child, she was doing this and that in the brigade. Whenever she took a break, her mother-in-law would start scolding her.

She doesn't look like Captain Gu's wife at all.

Not only do you eat and drink well every day, but you also don’t have to do any work.

Even so, the whole family treated me like a treasure and would take me out for a walk after dinner every night.

"Yes, Xiaoyan is becoming less and less active. If we don't take her out for a walk, she will stay at home all day." Mother Lu nodded and said with a smile.

"That's because my sister-in-law is lucky. We were not like that back then. We were pregnant and still working in the fields." Guo Yan didn't even feel that there was something wrong with what she said. She smiled and said, "People like this have to work harder. How can they have a good body if they work hard? Auntie, do you think I'm right?"

"You are wrong to say that. A family that dotes on their daughter would never let her work in the fields. She would get tanned." Mother Lu shook her head, disagreeing with this statement.
