Chapter 478: Opinions
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Meiling was slightly older and had just gotten engaged. She did not dare to make a scene, thus crying to herself.
Shao Xiaozhi almost burst into tears seeing Ms. Ma. “Taotao bullied me!”
Ms. Ma had not been really happy when she heard about killing a chicken for New Year’s dinner. Now, she became really angry. “How did she bully you? Tell me! Even Taotao has changed.”
Normally, all they needed to do was to eat at the first section of the family every year rather than take care of everything, which saved them a lot of trouble. But right now, they have to do everything by themselves.
She wanted a reason to vent the accumulated anger.
Shao Xiaozhi got startled hearing what her mother said. She stumbled with her words, not daring to say a thing. Her mother got even more irritated by her hesitation, so she dashed off into the room.
Ms. Ma mumbled. “Serve you right to have been bullied… so timid and weak!”
But after thinking about this for a while, she did not go to the doorstep of the first section of the family to fight.
After New Year’s Eve, they visited relatives rather than farm the land. The whole village had a very relaxed air around.
There were many people visiting the first section of the family. Ms. Fang and her daughters-in-law received them one by one.
Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu’s mothers’ family, Ding Erzhu’s in-laws as well as Ms. Fang’s married elder sister etc. They were all here.
Even Shao Dali as well as a few other families from the same village came to visit them.
Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni as well as Ms. Xu received the guests every day.
They were very busy.
Luckily, the new house was spacious enough for the relatives to stay, and Shao
Yunduan was not affected when he needed to study.
After the New Year, the autumn examination date was approaching.
But on the sixth day of the New Year, Ms. Xu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She turned pale and vomited. She knew what was happening. Ms. Fang asked a doctor to feel the pulse, and it was revealed that Ms. Xu had been pregnant for two months.
The whole family cheered happily.
Shao Dalang felt happier since he was going to be a father again.
Ms. Fang asked Ms. Xu to take a good rest instead of working in the field. She could do some light work like feeding the chicken and sweeping the floor. The four-year-old Shao Qing should not be next to her either, in case her stomach was kicked accidentally by the child.
Qiao Xuan offered some cubilose and donkey-hide gelatin to Ms. Xu as supplementary food.
Ms. Xu was quite pleased. She had one son and she did not care if it was a girl or a boy that was yet to come. Most importantly, they were living a very good life these days, and the child knew how to choose a family. She or he would be a very happy child anyway.
Yang Xiaoni massaged her sunk belly and got a little worried. She turned to
Shao Sanlang and said some bitter words, meaning that the Elder
Sister-in-law was already pregnant with the third child, whilst she had not got pregnant at all after being married for so long. She wondered if their mother would not like it…
Shao Sanlang could tell that his wife was very worried about this. He said anxiously, “It is not your fault. I should take responsibility too. You can’t get pregnant by yourself.”
Yang Xiaoni flushed. “I am talking about serious business here. You are just making those indecent remarks!”
Shao Sanlang. What? Why indecent?
“Mom won’t blame you for that. Don’t worry about this!”
Shao Sanlang consoled Yang Xiaoni. He thought for a while and turned to look at his mother instead..
