Wu Juan has been married for half a year and is just over two months pregnant. Even though she is vomiting badly, she still refuses to rest.
Every time she collected the land, she could only wait for her mother-in-law to come and help.
Jiang Baige asked, "Comrade Wu Juan, you didn't eat the rabbit that day, did you?"
Wu Juan shook her head and looked at her with a smile.
"My mom said I can't eat rabbit when I'm pregnant. It'll make my mouth split."
Jiang Baige knew this would happen. Although this is a folk legend, it has no scientific basis at all.
He took out a piece of braised meat from his pocket and stuffed it into Wu Juan's pocket.
He didn't eat anything nutritious to begin with, and he was vomiting a lot, which made her feel uncomfortable just watching him.
No one saw the braised meat that Jiang Baige gave to Wu Juan, except Wu Juan, who thought that Jiang Baige was giving her some snacks and just said thank you.
"White Dove, thank you!"
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Why thank you? You're pregnant. If you don't feel well, just rest. Your in-laws have so many people, they can't even support you."
Wu Juan nodded. "I know that, but Chen Wang is often not at home. How can he survive without work points? If I take a break, the family will lose two people who earn work points."
Jiang Baige asked in a low voice: "Is your man out again?"
Wu Juan nodded. "Yes, he said he'll be gone for half a month. He should be back soon."
As she spoke, she took out a few candies from her pocket and put them in Jiang Baige's hand.
"Eat this. Chen Wang brought it back from outside."
Jiang Baige spread out her hands and looked. Isn't this something from her space? Beef granules, the goods she gave to Chen Yuan during the Chinese New Year, this is only available at his place.
He looked at Wu Juan and asked, "This is what your Chen Wang brought back. It must look delicious."
Wu Juan nodded, "Yes! Try it."
Looking at her grin, you can tell that she is very happy.
Looking at the beef cubes in her hand, Jiang Baige thought that Chen Wang would be away from home for half a month or a whole month. Could he be in cahoots with Chen Yuan?
I suppressed my urge to laugh and continued helping with the work.
She'll know when she goes back and asks. If that's the case, she might be able to start with Chen Wang, and then she won't have to go back every two months.
Jiang Baige was on her way home from work when she passed by Chen Erlaizi's house. She saw several people eavesdropping through the crack of the door.
She was also curious, so she went over and listened.
It seemed to be the voices of Old Lady Chen and Zhang Yan, and Chen Erlaizi was also there.
Zhang Yan came back for the Chinese New Year, but she never saw him once and almost forgot about him.
Zhang Yan's voice was hysterical.
"You old woman, I told you I want to go to the hospital to give birth. How can you give birth in this country?"
Old Mrs. Chen cursed, "Hospital, hospital, how much money do you have to go to the hospital? Forget it, just give birth at home. I will hire an experienced midwife for you when the time comes."
Zhang Yan's belly was already big and she was about to give birth, so she wanted to go to the hospital for hospitalization in advance.
All her money was in the hands of Old Lady Chen, and she had no money at all. If she wanted to go to the county town to give birth, she had to ask Old Lady Chen for money before she could go out.
Old Mrs. Chen thought that all three of her children were born at home, and there was no problem with giving birth at home. This woman was just being unreasonable and wasting money on going to the hospital. It would be better to save the money and give the children better things when they were born in the future.
Zhang Yan couldn't get away from the old woman, so she called out to Chen Erlaizi, who was standing beside her. "Laizi, tell me, this is your son. Do you want us to live or die?"
Chen Erlaizi treats the child very well. He holds his belly and calls him his son every day. If the child is used to threaten him, he might stand on the child's side.
Chen Erlaizi thought about how his family would be in turmoil after he married this woman, and he couldn't hear what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing about.
He only reacted when he heard his own name.
"What are you arguing about? Listen to your mother on this matter."
"So many people in the village are having children at home, and you're the only one clamoring to spend this money."
When Zhang Yan heard this, she stomped her feet in anger.
"You are such a jerk, Chen Erlaizi! You two are teaming up to bully me, right?"
As she spoke, she found a stool to sit on and then howled.
"Oh my god, I'm going to die. You two, mother and son, are no good. You're bullying me because I'm from a different family! You're bullying me because my mother's family is far away!"
"I'm warning you, Chen Erlaizi, if anything happens to us, my family will not let you go."
They were arguing quite loudly, and it was just after work, so people passing by stopped to listen to the noise.
Someone asked, "What's going on? They're arguing again."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Chen Erlaizi's family quarrel every other day, and everyone is tired of listening to them.
Someone replied, "I don't know! What's the point of talking about money? Maybe it's all about money again!"
When Chen Defu came home for dinner, he saw them all gathered together and asked, "What's going on? They're arguing again."
When they saw the village chief coming, those who arrived earlier told him the situation.
After getting the confirmation, he was almost furious. This family quarreled every few days. The villagers saw the fun and spread the news everywhere. There were only these two people in their village, and they were almost famous.
I heard someone arguing on the side of the road and knocked on the door.
Erlaizi, open the door for me.
When they heard the village chief's voice, the yard suddenly became quiet.
Old Lady Chen said, "Nephew! It's okay, you can go back!"
Chen Defu knocked on the door impatiently, then said, "Stop talking nonsense and open the door."
So many people have seen it today. If he doesn't do anything about it, others will report him for inaction.
After a while, Old Lady Chen opened the door and paused when she saw so many people at the door.
Then he said, "What are you looking at? You're not hungry! Go back now! Don't meddle in other people's business."
Seeing him being so arrogant, Chen Defu glared at him and then walked into the yard.
When Zhang Yan saw the village chief coming, she quickly cried to her.
"Village chief, these mother and son are too much. Not only did they take my money, but they also refused to let me go to the hospital to give birth."
Today I want you to take charge and ask them to return my money to me.
Chen Defu stared at the mother and son. He didn't know what to say. She was an educated youth who married into their family. They should have treated her well and worshipped her. But now that she was pregnant, they still had every right to bully her.
He sighed and said to Old Lady Chen.
"Auntie, please take out Comrade Zhang's money. It belongs to someone else. It's no big deal if you confiscate it from him."
"You should know that she can sue you."
Old Mrs. Chen was startled and said tremblingly.
"Why sue us? She is my second daughter-in-law."
Seeing that the village chief had spoken, Zhang Yan thought that this was to support him, so he followed suit.
"The educated youth were protected by the higher-ups. If I sue you, your son will go to jail."
