It started raining outside the window and the weather became much cooler.

At the beginning, I couldn't fall asleep at all. I was very careful when turning over. Firstly, I was afraid of crushing the child, and secondly, I was afraid of waking the child.

Jiang Xiaohe was thinking about what she should do next. Now the Zhang family had only a few acres of land and this house, and they had no other income or expenses.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep.

The next morning, when a ray of light came through the window, Jiang Xiaohe woke up slowly. It might be the original owner's biological alarm clock.

She turned over and wanted to take a nap, when the voices of Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia were heard outside the house.

I only heard Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu say, "It rained yesterday, so don't go to the fields this morning."

Zhang Fu: "I'll go check the fields. If there's too much water in the fields, we need to add some water."

After that, there was no other sound.

Jiang Xiaohe was no longer sleepy and only felt her chest was a little bloated. She looked down and found that there were two wet spots on her chest.

Um, this...

Looking at the baby on the bed again, how could she have forgotten all this? When she chose to return to the Zhang family, she was only thinking about finding a place to stay, but she forgot that Jiang Xiaohe had just given birth to a child half a year ago.

Do I have to feed her?

Just as she thought of this, the baby on the bed stretched out his hand and immediately started crying.

Jiang Xiaohe was stunned for a moment.

I picked him up and coaxed him again and again, but the baby was still crying.

Wang Qiuxia knocked on the door and came in.

"What are you standing there for? Chuan'er is hungry. Feed him. I'm going to make breakfast."

"Ah, mother..."

Wang Qiuxia turned around and asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaohe hesitated and finally made up her mind: "How about feeding the baby some rice soup?"

Wang Qiuxia frowned when she heard this, and then asked with concern: "Don't you have any milk? Mommy will make you something good."

Jiang Xiaohe quickly stood up and held her back: "Not mother."

Wang Qiuxia looked at her.

Jiang Xiaohe then said, "I caught a cold yesterday. I think I have a cold. I'm afraid if I feed the baby, he will get sick too."

It turned out to be the case.

Wang Qiuxia nodded: "You are right, our family has only one pulse passed down to our son, but we have to be careful, then mother will make some rice soup."

Jiang Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

Then continue to coax the baby in your arms.

When it was bright outside, the rice soup was ready. Jiang Xiaohe fed the baby little by little, thinking, it would be great if there were bottles in this era.

Looking at the little baby smacking his lips, she felt her heart was filled with joy.

When the sun was shining on the yard, Zhang Fu came back.

Wang Qiuxia hurried forward, fetched some water and asked him to wash his feet.

Zhang Fu said, "Luckily we went. The water in the fields was almost seeping out. If it had stayed there for a day, the crops would have been gone."

Wang Qiuxia nodded.

After seeing that he had finished washing his feet, he brought out the sweet potatoes that he had cooked in the morning.

Zhang Fu asked, "Has my daughter-in-law eaten yet?"

"Don't worry, I've eaten and am coaxing the child to sleep."

Zhang Fu nodded and said to Wang Qiuxia, "She was able to come back yesterday, so she is a good person. We must not neglect her. In a few years, if Chuan'er grows up and wants to remarry, we will not stop her."

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you."

Only then did Zhang Fu eat the sweet potatoes together with the water in which they were cooked.

After eating, he went to the backyard to tidy up the small private plot where he planted some vegetables that his family often ate.

Seeing that the child fell asleep, Jiang Xiaohe went out with yesterday's clothes in her hands.

"What are you doing with this thing? Just throw it away."

As soon as Wang Qiuxia saw the red wedding dress, she felt it was unlucky.

Jiang Xiaohe smiled: "Mom, why throw it away? I feel that the material is still good. I will wash it clean and take it to the town to pawn it. It can also be exchanged for a few copper coins. Don't we have no silver now?"

After she said this, Wang Qiuxia immediately stopped talking. She took two steps and then turned around to look at Jiang Xiaohe who was carrying the basin out of the house.

Zhang Fu came back from the backyard at this time: "What are you looking at?"

Wang Qiuxia frowned slightly: "Why do I always feel that our daughter-in-law is like a different person."

Zhang Fu said indifferently, "Why do you care whether she has changed or not? We just need to do our own job well. I just cleaned up an acre of land. I will go to Zhang Quan next door to ask for some vegetable seedlings. We will plant more and sell them in town later."

Having said that, Jiandan washed his hands in the bucket in the yard and went out.

Wang Qiuxia went into the house to take a look at the child, then picked up a basket and went to pick wild vegetables on the roadside near the door.

Jiang Xiaohe went to the river to wash clothes. There were already several people there.

As soon as she was seen coming, someone immediately said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, isn't this Jiang Xiaohe? Didn't she go back with her parents yesterday? Why did she appear again today?"

Jiang Xiaohe looked over and saw the girl, dressed in unmarried clothes, with her hair in a braid and a green handkerchief wrapped around her head. The only thing on her body that looked valuable was the handkerchief.

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman next to her said angrily, "Who knows? Only Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wang really treat this unlucky girl like a treasure."

After saying this, several people started laughing.

Jiang Xiaohe searched for their faces in her memory. Oh, she remembered that the first person to speak was Li Taohua from the village. At first, she had always wanted to marry Zhang Dashan, but Zhang Dashan married Jiang Xiaohe, which ultimately shattered her dream. Therefore, she held a grudge against Jiang Xiaohe.

The person who just answered the call was her sister-in-law He Qing.

Jiang Xiaohe put the basin down, looked at Li Taohua, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Li Taohua, you have been on a blind date recently? Did you find anyone you like?"

This was like rubbing salt into Li Taohua's wounds. She threw away the clothes in her hands and her face was full of anger.

"Jiang Xiaohe, what do you mean?"

Jiang Xiaohe soaked her clothes in water, rubbed the mud off her hands, and said with a smile: "No, aren't we from the same village? I just care about you."

The other person was smiling, so Li Taohua couldn't get angry.

Her sister-in-law then said, "I don't need you, a jinx, to worry about my sister-in-law's marriage. It's very unlucky."

Wow, this woman has a sharp tongue.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at He Qing: "No matter how unlucky I am, how can it be compared to Sister He? Sister He is pregnant? Brother Li has been out for almost half a month, right? He hasn't come back yet?"

This was just rubbing salt into He Qing's face. She had been married to the Li family for several years, but she had never gotten pregnant. Now her mother-in-law and her husband disliked her very much. She also wanted to get pregnant, but her stomach was not cooperating. What could she do?

He Qing was so angry that she wanted to throw the clothes in her hand at her. She pointed at Jiang Xiaohe and cursed, "You..."

"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Xiaohe said with a smile while washing clothes: "Alas, Sister He, you don't know, there is nothing good about being pregnant. Giving birth to a child requires going through the gates of hell. You don't know how much I envy you for not being able to get pregnant."
