But after Sheng Yuan heard Cui's words, he was so happy that he was a little silly, and he circled around Pang Xiu'e, "I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father."

This was in stark contrast to Cui. Pang Xiu'e felt that Cui did not value the baby in her belly. She was not someone who would suffer any loss, so she immediately asked Sheng Yuan to inform Sheng Kai, Shen and Old Man Sheng of her pregnancy.

Sure enough, Sheng Kai was very happy after hearing the news, "I'm going to be a grandfather too, and I'm going to have a grandson."

Grandpa Sheng's joy was mixed with some sorrow. In his generation of great-grandchildren, Daya was the only girl, and he was eager to have more great-grandchildren. But more children meant more mouths to feed, and the current situation was not good and unstable. He was afraid that the child would be too young to withstand the hardships and die easily.

In the evening, Pang Xiu'e did not sit at the table for dinner, so Mr. Sheng asked Cui to give some fine grains to Sheng Yuan, asking him to prepare a special meal for Xiu'e to take care of her pregnancy.

"Every woman has gone through this period. I've given birth to six children, but I'm not as delicate as her." Cui grumbled as she handed millet to Sheng Yuan, "Just this once. There won't be another time."

If Pang Xiu'e had to eat special food every day because she was pregnant, Cui would not agree. Therefore, when she gave millet to Sheng Yuan for the first time, she made it clear that it was impossible.

Since Pang Xiu'e became pregnant, she had either backache or stomachache, and refused to do housework. When it was the second wife's turn to do housework, Shen and Xiaocao had to do it. Shen was unhappy, but she had to do it because Cui called her.

Shen was complaining to Liu, "Other families have daughters-in-law serving their mothers-in-law, but in my family it's the other way around. I, as the mother-in-law, have to serve her. She told me that I needed to supplement my nutrition during pregnancy. She told me all day long that I needed to eat this and that, and asked me to ask her grandmother for it. But as soon as I started, she scolded me, saying, 'Why is my life so miserable? What have I done to offend anyone? She orders me around all day long, as if I've never given birth to a child before. I've given birth to three, and I haven't done anything like her.'"

"Not only me, but even my little Cao has become her servant now." Shen said angrily.

Liu was an honest and decent person. When she heard Shen's complaints, she could neither say anything bad about Pang Xiu'e nor about Cui. After all, Pang Xiu'e was Shen's daughter-in-law, and it was not her turn to say whether she was good or bad. As for Cui, she was the mother-in-law, and even if the mother-in-law had a thousand faults, the daughter-in-law could not gossip about her.

Xiao Ye thought to herself, it seems that being a mother-in-law to her second aunt is really not easy, and she always suffers from it.

After Shen left, Liu said to Sheng Hao with mixed feelings, "Now I have opened my eyes. When I was pregnant with Xiao Tao, I always felt uncomfortable, but I just did what I had to do. I never asked the baby for food or drink because I was afraid that she would scold me for being greedy."

When the family sat down and were about to start eating, they heard Pang Xiu'e say to Xu, "Sister-in-law, please help me make some garlic sauce. I have no taste in my mouth and can't eat."

"It's time for dinner, don't bother your sister-in-law," said Cui, who was protecting Xu.

"Grandma, it's not me who wants to eat, it's the baby in my belly who wants to eat. Your great-grandson hasn't eaten for a day, can you bear it?" Pang Xiu'e said.

Cui frowned and said to Xiaoye, "Xiaoye, bring some garlic sauce to your sister-in-law Xiu'e."

Liu frowned. Cui was really partial. She protected Xu but ordered her daughter to do the work. But she didn't dare to say anything.

Pang Xiu'e was not very satisfied with Cui's arrangement. Without waiting for Xiaoye to respond, she said, "What can a child like Xiaoye do? I love the garlic sauce prepared by my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, you won't be unwilling to help me, right? Even if you don't do it for my sake, you have to do it for your unborn nephew's sake."

Xu smiled and continued, "Xiu'e has become more and more clever and eloquent since she was pregnant. When the child is born, he will surely be an eloquent one. It's just some garlic sauce, I'll go prepare it right away." As Xu spoke, she got off the kang to peel and smash garlic and prepare the soy sauce.

Pang Xiu'e listened to what Xu said and felt that she was hiding something. Maybe she was trying to hint that she was pregnant with a girl. Xu had ulterior motives, so she was very unhappy.

Xu prepared the garlic sauce, gave it to Pang Xiu'e, and sat down on the kang.

Suddenly Pang Xiu'e vomited and it happened to be on Xu's body. Xu's face instantly turned ugly.

After Pang Xiu'e finished spitting, she smiled at Xu embarrassedly, "I don't know how the garlic paste was prepared today, it has a weird smell, I really couldn't help it, so I spit it out."

Xu and Pang Xiu'e looked at each other and saw that the other smiled without any apology. Xu immediately understood that Pang Xiu'e had deliberately spit on her. And from Pang Xiu'e's words, she could hear that she was secretly saying that there was something wrong with the garlic paste she had prepared. Xu's face looked very bad at this time.

"Grandma, mother, second aunt, fourth aunt, you guys eat first, I'll go back and change clothes." Xu said as she got off the kang. When she walked out of the house, she burst into tears.

Xu never came back to the table. When Sheng Hong came back, Xu said to him, "She either really vomited or she wanted to disgust me. She would not stop until she ordered me around four or five times a day. She relied on her pregnant belly to ride on my head and shit every day. She had no respect for seniority and wanted to step on everyone."

While crying quietly, Xu told Sheng Hong what Pang Xiu'e had done after she became pregnant.

"She said nice things on the surface, but everyone knows what she wants to do. There are already enough things going on at home, and things are not stable outside. I don't want to worry our grandparents about these things, but if this continues, there will be no end to this matter."

Pang Xiu'e is very smart. She knows exactly who can be offended and who cannot be offended in the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong listened to Xu's complaints and said, "Xiaoyuan spoils her all day long. She has no respect for her parents. I don't know how he educates his wife."

Sheng Hong could only talk about it behind their backs. If he went to scold Pang Xiu'e and Sheng Yuan, I'm afraid the second house would also be unhappy.

Pang Xiu'e's pregnancy caused a lot of trouble for the old Sheng family. The old Sheng family lived a lively life every day, but Xiao Lan's family was busy and bustling.
