◎Sudden morning sickness◎
When it came to Wei Xuan's pregnancy, the two of them were really flustered for a while at first, but after a period of adaptation, they slowly returned to normal.
When I came to my senses, I realized that I forgot to tell my family the good news.
Therefore, the two of them had to find time after get off work to go to Jiang's house first.
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were very happy and asked how many months had passed.
Wei Xuan looked at Jiang Che sheepishly, and Jiang Che had no choice but to answer, "It's been more than three months."
In front of Wei Xuan, Jiang's mother didn't say anything, but privately pulled Jiang Che aside and criticized him.
"Look at you. Your wife has been pregnant for such a long time and you didn't even tell your family. How can you be so careless? Why don't you just move back home? That way I can feel more at ease."
Jiang Che promised Wei Xuan that he would not move back. And after the initial chaos, he was very confident that he could take good care of his wife by himself. So now he didn't want to come back and be controlled by Jiang's mother.
...
...
Seeing that he was unwilling, Jiang's mother was about to reason with him, but was interrupted by Jiang's father. Jiang Che took this opportunity to urinate immediately.
Jiang's mother called out several times but to no avail.
"Okay, they've been fine without you watching over them for the past few months. I just heard from his wife that his mother-in-law will be coming to stay for a while. With her here, why would you worry?"
No matter how reluctant Jiang's mother was, she knew that her mother-in-law was more suitable to take care of her daughter-in-law than she was, so she kept silent.
But I still gave them some serious instructions during dinner.
No matter what she said, Wei Xuan agreed obediently. It was a clear matter in the Jiang family that her mother would come to take care of her, and she didn't mind being a little more obedient in front of her parents-in-law so that they could rest assured.
But this scene changed the taste of Jiang Dasao's eyes. She felt jealous. When she was pregnant, her parents-in-law didn't seem so happy!
I glanced at the man sitting next to me. Humph, I wonder why he is so happy about someone else's wife being pregnant! It makes me angry just by looking at him.
Before leaving in the evening, Jiang's mother took Wei Xuan and gave her a stack of tickets and money.
Wei Xuan refused to accept it, but Jiang's mother insisted. In the end, Wei Xuan had no choice but to accept the ticket and return the money.
"Mom, we don't lack money."
Section 29
Seeing that she looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying, Jiang's mother didn't force it on her: "Okay, then I'll keep the money for you first, and I'll give it to you if you need it in the future."
"Thank you, Mom!"
When they got home that night, Jiang Che asked Wei Xuan, "Did mom secretly give you something?"
"How do you know that?"
"I saw it!"
In fact, it was not Jiang Che who saw it first. He was chatting with his eldest brother and father at that time. He noticed that his eldest sister-in-law sitting opposite him had a strange look in her eyes. He looked over and found that his wife was being pulled into the room by his mother.
But he didn't say it out loud to upset his wife. They got the benefit, so let the sister-in-law be angry if she wants to.
When Wei Xuan heard Jiang Che asking her, she took out all the tickets in her pocket and showed them to him.
"so much?"
"Yeah." Wei Xuan also felt that there were a lot. In fact, she didn't feel comfortable looking at them carefully in front of Jiang's mother just now. Now that she looked at them one by one, she realized that there were really all kinds of tickets.
Among them, cloth coupons, grain coupons, and industrial coupons were the most numerous, and there were also meat coupons, oil coupons, coal coupons, soap coupons, and many other coupons that I will not list one by one.
Jiang Che put away the cloth coupons and industrial coupons: "Forget about the other things. We don't lack food. We can get it from Angkor. Buy more cloth. When your belly gets bigger, you need to make new clothes. And you can't be without clothes for the children."
The couple was calculating how much cloth they needed to buy to make clothes for their mother and daughter. At the Jiang family's side, Jiang's father was also discussing this matter with Jiang's mother.
In fact, it wasn't just Jiang Che who saw that Mrs. Jiang was angry. Father Jiang also saw it. He was now saying to Mother Jiang, "I have no objection to you giving things to the child, but you should at least hide it and not in front of the eldest son's wife."
Mother Jiang slapped the edge of the bed angrily. "I give my things to whoever I want to give them to. If she doesn't want to, she should just keep it to herself. Besides, others may not know, but you do. Did we spend less money on the two children of the eldest family? I gave more to Xiaoche and his family, not less. The eldest family already has a lot of advantages living with us. What's wrong with me giving some private subsidies to the younger ones? If anyone has any objections, just come to me and tell me. She used all of the eldest family's money to support her family before. I persuaded the eldest family for the sake of the grandchildren. If she does it again, I will let the eldest family divorce her. How dare she have any objections to me?"
Father Jiang didn't expect that just one word of his reminder would cause her to say so much: "Come on, don't be so arrogant, keep your voice down, and besides, the boss's wife didn't say anything this time, I just reminded you, next time do this kind of thing in private, don't do it in front of others. I said that Xiao Che's personality is like someone, and it's exactly like you."
"What's wrong with looking like me? Of course my child looks like me."
Seeing that she was still proud, Jiang's father shut up and said nothing. He couldn't make her understand and it was just a waste of his breath.
But he was speechless, and Jiang's mother hadn't finished yet: "You only know how to lecture me. As a mother-in-law, do I have to look at my daughter-in-law's face when doing something? And I feel happy when I give things to Wei Xuan. Not to mention Xiao Che, even Wei Xuan, the daughter-in-law, knows to bring home a portion of any good things. Not to mention that those things are bad, at least she remembers us two old people in her heart. What about the eldest daughter-in-law? No matter how much food is fed to her, she never thinks it is too much. Has she spent a penny on you and me in all these years? All the money she has is used to support her brother from her mother's side."
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Father Jiang sat up and calmed her down: "Alright, if I knew you were so angry I wouldn't have said anything. I'm just saying this for the sake of the eldest brother. Although the eldest brother's wife is not doing a good job, the eldest brother is always a good son. I just think that for the sake of the eldest brother, we as elders should at least do our best to show our worth and not make things difficult for him, right?"
Speaking of her eldest son, Jiang's mother fell silent, and after a long while she uttered a few words: "I know."
Father Jiang was relieved to see that she had come to her senses. He pulled the light cord at the head of the bed and said, "Okay, go to bed."
The next day, Wei Xuan took advantage of her free time at work, asked Sister Hong to help her watch the counter, and prepared to sneak to the post office to call Wei's family. She wanted Wei's mother to come and take care of her, so she had to tell people about this in advance so that people could be prepared.
This time it was Wei's mother who answered the phone. After hearing Wei Xuan's good news, she paused for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to take care of you?"
Wei Xuan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm still young, so I don't need it for now. Besides, my younger brother is going to take the college entrance examination, so you should take care of him first. When my younger brother finishes the exam and the family is not busy anymore, you can come over in time."
This year's college entrance examination has been moved to July. In less than half a month, Wei's younger brother will take the college entrance examination. Wei's mother is really worried about her son. Recently, she has asked the eldest son to go to the county town every three days to bring some food to her younger son and visit him.
Seeing her daughter say this, Wei's mother was relieved: "Okay, then when Xiaolong finishes the exam, you tell me in advance and I will go to the city to take care of you."
"Mom, I get it. You have to take care of yourself at home. If you are too tired, take a break. You and my dad are not young anymore. Don't try to show off."
"Okay, you don't need to tell me. Just take care of yourself now. Your three brothers are very capable. Your father will just bundle rice and look after the rice field this year. It's not tiring. I will have an easier job. I can help them take care of the children and cook at home. I will have a lot of free time all day."
Wei Xuan didn't believe it. Taking care of children is the most tiring, but it's easier than working in the fields. Knowing that Wei's mother didn't want her to worry, she didn't refute her words. The two chatted a little more about the family situation before Wei Xuan said, "Mom, I'm going to work. I'll hang up first."
"Okay, go ahead."
After hanging up the phone, Wei's mother asked everyone in the village on her way back from the brigade headquarters if it was a call from her daughter, and also asked what Wei Xuan said on the phone.
Mother Wei did not hide anything. No matter who asked her, she would answer with a smile on her face: "Yes, my daughter is pregnant. She called to tell me the good news."
"Oh, that's a great joyous event."
"We are all waiting to eat your wedding eggs."
"Okay, I'll definitely send it to you when the time comes, and yours won't be left out."
They talked and laughed all the way until they stepped into the courtyard. Mother Wei then spat on the ground: "Bah, you two think I don't know how you cursed my daughter Ni'er behind her back? And you still want to eat the wedding eggs. I'll give them to the dogs instead of you."
Wei Xuan had been married to the city for almost two years and still hadn't gotten pregnant. The villagers were saying all kinds of things, especially two gossipy women who were secretly talking about how unlucky Wei Xuan was. What was the point of marrying to the city? If she couldn't get pregnant, she would be divorced sooner or later.
Somehow, this got to Wei's mother's ears, so she urged Wei Xuan to have a baby during the Chinese New Year. Today, she deliberately revealed the news of her daughter's pregnancy. She just wanted to let those who were gossiping behind her back see who was unlucky! Anyway, it wouldn't be her daughter.
Wei Xuan didn’t know that her mother was very proud of her pregnancy. She didn’t know if it was because the weather was too hot, but she started to have morning sickness when she was more than three months pregnant.
That morning, she got up and brushed her teeth as usual. It was normal to feel nauseous while brushing teeth, but when she smelled the noodles in front of her, she didn't think it was fragrant but started to feel nauseous. In the end, she vomited a few mouthfuls of acid water. She didn't even eat breakfast and went to work on an empty stomach.
Jiang Che sent her to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative: "You have money with you, right? If you are hungry and want to eat something, you must buy something to fill your stomach."
"I know, stop nagging. You're going to be late. Let's go."
As she watched Jiang Che walk away, Wei Xuan felt her stomach growling.
She went into the supply and marketing cooperative and weighed a pound of milk candy and a pound of peach cakes, trying to see if she could eat them.
As a result, she not only ate it, but also ate a lot, which made Sister Hong keep calling her a spendthrift when she saw her like this.
How can you eat pastries as a meal?
Wei Xuan felt very aggrieved and told him everything that happened in the morning.
Sister Hong comforted her: "It's okay, everyone is different. Maybe you just vomited this morning and you're fine now."
Wei Xuan glanced at the half-eaten peach cake in her hand and nodded confidently: "Yes, maybe I will just vomit for a day and it will be fine."
The result was that Wei Xuan was happy too early, and reality gave her a big slap in the face.
