Li Chunhua was very enthusiastic towards these women who had taken care of his daughter-in-law according to his son. Although the little girl who was holding her hand in front of her had a strange expression, she did not take it to heart. Instead, she continued to hold her hand. began to speak.
"I wanted to come with you before. After all, Shi Heng also has something to do, and Xuezhu has no experience with her first pregnancy, so she can't live without people when building a new house, and she has to rent a house when she comes here. Originally, I wanted to let Xuezhu stay in her hometown, but the construction of the house was going back and forth and she was afraid of shocking her, so in the end, Shi Heng said that there is no shortage of everything in the army and there is a hospital, so I can feel relieved."
"In the past few months, I couldn't eat or sleep well at home. I was afraid that Shi Heng would not be able to take care of Xuezhu. No, as soon as the house is finished, I will rush over."
Zhou Qianqian's face froze, looking at the woman in front of her who looked at He Xuezhu with love on her face, and even wondered if she was dreaming.
She also has a mother-in-law. Before joining the army, she had seen other people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along. In Zhou Qianqian's impression, as long as she was a mother-in-law, she would be somewhat dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.
When her mother was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, she once said that between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there should always be one who bows his head.
After Zhou Qianqian got married, she did notice her mother-in-law's vague dissatisfaction with her. She didn't think about resisting, but chose to be a little girl and be careful to please.
After all, she also knew clearly that between herself and her mother-in-law, her husband would definitely choose her mother-in-law.
So when she found out that Lin Shiheng's mother didn't like He Xuezhu's mother-in-law, Zhou Qianqian only felt that she had expected it, and she had no doubts at all.
But she never thought that Lin Shiheng's mother was here, but she was more kissable than He Xuezhu's biological mother.
Li Chunhua took the hand of the person in front of her and said that she didn't get any response for a long time. When she looked again, she could only see Zhou Qianqian's ugly face.
How can this person be like a piece of wood, and I still expect her to follow her own words.
She let go of her hand in disgust, and another person shook hands.
This time, it was Mrs. Zhang who was close to He Xuezhu, and she sighed very cooperatively, "You are so kind to Xuezhu."
"That is!"
Li Chunhua was waiting for these words, and immediately raised her chest and raised her head with pride and pride: "Xuezhu, this girl, I fell in love with her before she married to my house, she looks good, has a good temperament, and still works hard. It's neat, and I feel like this is my destined daughter-in-law!"
He Xuezhu was supported by Lin Shiheng, and she was a little stunned to hear her mother-in-law's words. At that time, she only knew that one day her mother told herself that the Lin family was interested in her, and the family had already ordered a dowry, so she only needed to wait for the marriage with peace of mind. I really don't know that my mother-in-law came to mention her because she liked her.
Before the meeting, the expression on the old lady's face didn't seem to be fake. Sister Zhang, who had been secretly keeping Xuezhu worried all the time, breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face: "That's really a coincidence, and Xuezhu is very lucky. , to catch up with your kind-hearted mother-in-law who loves her."
When Li Chunhua heard this, the smile on her face suddenly became even more kind: "Why, Xuezhu is the child who is hurting, before, Shiheng was in the army, as a wife, she should follow the army, but I still don't worry about me, this old lady. He stayed with me in the village for three years."
"Three years, I can count the number of times I met Shiheng with both hands. Before, I was greedy, because I liked Xuezhu, and wanted her to accompany me more, but after thinking about it, I can't be so selfish, right? , No matter how much I like Xuezhu, I can't let her and Shiheng be separated for so long."
He Xuezhu was lamenting that her mother-in-law liked her so much. When she heard Li Chunhua's words, she was even more emotional when she was pregnant.
It turned out that her mother-in-law didn't let her follow Shi Heng with the army because she liked her
Lin Shiheng said in a timely manner: "Mom, if you like Xuezhu, just stay here. Let's buy a house here, and the family will live here in the future."
"No, no, your father's grave is still in the village, I have to guard him." Li Chunhua replied to his son, and explained to Mrs. Zhang, "My man went early, and our family was before the age of 30. If you die, unless you move the grave, you have to be guarded by someone at home, or you will become a lonely ghost."
Sister-in-law Zhang naturally would not ignorantly say that this is all feudal superstition, and after listening to it, she also sighed: "It's not easy for you either."
"It's okay, okay, in the past, I just wanted to bring up the child, but then I didn't expect that the child would join the army when he was a child. Fortunately, Xuezhu was with me, which gave me some comfort as an old woman."
Li Chunhua did not leave the daughter-in-law He Xuezhu for three words, and chatted for a few more words before letting go of Sister Zhang's hand reluctantly, "Then I'll go back first, I've been a hen that I've been picking for these few months. Son, I waited carefully every day until I finally raised big chickens, each of which can lay eggs. This kind of hen soup that can lay eggs is the most nourishing, so I finally brought it here, just waiting to make up for my snow beads As for the body, these are all alive, I have to hurry to loosen them up and stop wilting."
"Hey, you go."
Several women before the meeting were more or less surprised and envious, and Li Chunhua released her hand in satisfaction.
She has been thinking about various countermeasures since her son and daughter-in-law left.
First of all, Shi Heng's loss of fertility should never be known to others, and Shi Heng is still trying to hide the fact from her mother. Li Chunhua knew that her son was worried that she would be sad when she found out, and she couldn't bear to expose it.
In fact, as long as Shi Heng can leave a bloodline and let him be a father, so that he will not even have no one to honor him in the future, Li Chunhua will be very satisfied.
But then, she began to think about the gender of the child.
To be honest, Li Chunhua certainly hoped that He Xuezhu would have a big fat boy in her stomach, but even though she was a rural woman, she also knew that this kind of thing was not what she wanted or what she wanted.
If it's a son, it's fine, but if it's a girl, the old Lin family alone is enough to cause headaches.
A few months later, after trying hard to brainwash herself, Li Chunhua finally changed from her chest tightness, shortness of breath and uncomfortable feeling when she thought of He Xuezhu giving birth to a girl to "a girl, take good care of her, and a son is not bad."
In any case, as long as it is her Shiheng's child, she will hold it in her hand, what's wrong with the girl! The chairman also said that boys and girls are the same! Isn't she Li Chunhua also a girl!
Next, you should think about how to explain to others why you don't want a second child if you really have a girl.
Li Chunhua hadn't studied for a few years, but she was better than He Xuezhu, who said she was sent to elementary school, but in fact the books, pen and paper she received were brought home to continue working as laborers.
After several months of deliberation, she finally came up with a trick that would not let others suspect and that her son would not reveal the reason for his failure.
That is, to make everyone think that she, Li Chunhua, likes He Xuezhu very much.
At that time, even if she gave birth to a girl, she could prevent them from having any more children on the grounds that she felt sorry for He Xuezhu's daughter-in-law's body.
Li Chunhua knew that if she did this, if it was a girl, those rubbish things that should covet Shi Heng in her house would still covet her, but at least doing this would make Shi Heng think that she didn't know that her son couldn't have a baby.
It can also make Shi Heng feel less uncomfortable.
It must be said that Li Chunhua had long thought about taking good care of He Xuezhu, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about how she was a mother-in-law and wanted to take care of her daughter-in-law, and she forcibly suppressed it for her son.
But when his son was taken from the train station, Shi Heng was a filial child, and he said in the car that Xuezhu would cook and wash clothes for her mother, and take good care of her.
On the surface, Li Chunhua reprimanded her son for making the pregnant Xuezhu do things, but she couldn't help being happy.
In the son's heart, she is the most important thing compared to her pregnant daughter-in-law. As a mother, how could Li Chunhua be unhappy.
After she was happy, her dissatisfaction with He Xuezhu's need to serve her disappeared.
This child doesn't know that in Shiheng's heart, she is not as good as herself.
But she couldn't let her know that pregnant people like to think more, but fortunately, she told Shiheng not to let Xuezhu work, and she couldn't show that she was more inclined towards mother between mother and daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, her waist straightened even more, she smiled and tilted her head to ask her daughter-in-law, who had a big belly, and looked at her daughter-in-law with gratitude and admiration: "Xuezhu, how long have you been waiting? You child, at home It's fine, Mom is not an outsider, and she came out to wait, so don't catch a cold in such a cold day."
"Mom will cook chicken soup for you in a while and make up for it, ah."
Seeing the deep admiration in He Xuezhu's eyes, Li Chunhua felt at ease and a little guilty at the same time.
This child, how can she be so easy to deceive, she actually believed what she said just now, without any doubt.
However, those words were not all made up by her. I hadn't found out before that Xuezhu's daughter-in-law was really annoying.
Seeing her eyes full of admiration and dependence when she looked at Lin Shiheng, Li Chunhua, a mother-in-law who knew the "truth", had more pity in the eyes.
Shi Heng is not considerate, and she can't be the same as a mother.
She had to be a little better to Xuezhu, just a little bit better.
***
Sister-in-law Zhang saw them off, looking at the family of three who were walking away along with Li Chunhua's kind and amiable questions, with envy and relaxation in her eyes.
"I really didn't expect that Head Lin's mother actually likes Xuezhu so much."
"Yeah, this looks more kissable than a biological daughter. Xuezhu is really lucky to have such a good mother-in-law."
While talking, a woman who doesn't usually deal with Zhou Qianqian suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Zhou Qianqian, whose face was ashen: "What did someone say before? Eat dirt?"
"Hey, but I said I didn't eat plastic bags last time, and I guess I won't eat it this time. In the future, if you don't have that good eyesight, don't open your mouth again. Anyway, what you say is almost like a fart, and it will never be fulfilled. of."
Zhou Qianqian's face turned pale after being run on, she turned her head to look at Miao Xing subconsciously, and wanted to ask her to say a few words to herself, but she saw that Miao Xing's face was not very good-looking, and when she went out, her delicate and beautiful makeup was a little sad. Point, a pair of eyes did not look at her side at all.
And the woman who didn't deal with her was still sneering: "If you don't eat, go home and hide. Like last time, hiding for ten days and a half months, isn't that your strength?"
"Eat what you eat! You think I'm afraid of you!"
Zhou Qianqian couldn't stand the aggressive tactics the most. When she heard the words, her brain became hot, and she actually squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt, but when she was about to put it in her mouth, she smelled the earthy smell at the tip of her nose and didn't open her mouth for a long time.
So disgusting, how can I eat it.
But if you don't eat it, you will definitely be treated as a laughing stock and pointed behind your back.
While hesitating, she suddenly had an idea, rushing to the big tree with her stomach in her arms and retching up against the trunk.
Everyone knew the news of her pregnancy, and they were all shocked to see this scene, and even the woman who didn't deal with her died down and didn't dare to force her again.
There is a life in this stomach, and if something goes wrong, it will be a deadly vengeance.
Seeing that they really gave up forcing her, Zhou Qianqian bent over to support the tree trunk, and a smug smile appeared on her lowered face.
He was smug, but suddenly something fell on his head.
Zhou Qianqian reached out and wiped it subconsciously, and wiped a hand of bird shit.
Her expression was immediately stiff and pale, and before she could react, another lump fell from the sky, and it happened to land on her forehead, with a stench, slowly sliding down.
"what!!!"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, the little daughter-in-law who didn't deal with her just now burst out laughing: "You deserve it!! Telling you to spread rumors, God is punishing you!"
"fart!!"
Zhou Qianqian has been beaten one after another and lost her mind: "Do you really think Granny He Xuezhu likes her? It's not her belly. As long as she gives birth to a girl, you guys will wait!"
"Who still believes you now, you should go back and wash the bird shit off your face!"
"He Xuezhu will give birth next month."
"Look at her, her mother-in-law favors sons over daughters, and she will definitely turn her face!"
She still swears, but this time, she doesn't dare to promise that she will eat if she doesn't do what she said.
