A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Chang Dafen unconsciously repeated herself to confirm, "Are you really, pregnant?"

Jiang Qiubai lowered her head shyly, "Mom, I'm not sure either, but I didn't have my period last month."

As she spoke, she subconsciously touched her belly with her right hand, and a hint of the kindness of a new mother appeared on her face at the right time.

Although Jiang Qiubai said he was not sure, this action already made it clear.

As a result, everyone at the Zheng family's dinner table fell into a strange silence.

Everyone stared at Jiang Qiubai's belly with unclear eyes.

Chang Dafen also stared at Jiang Qiubai's belly for a long time without saying anything.

If an ordinary old lady heard that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she would probably be extremely happy.

But Chang Dafen is not an ordinary old lady.

Chang Dafen was not very happy when she heard the news.

The first thing she thought of was not her sweet and soft grandson, but——

Pregnant women don’t have to spend money to replenish their bodies?

Jiang Qiubai has gone to take care of the children, so who will do the housework at home?

When the baby is born, there will be one more person in the family, so won’t we have to spend money on food, drink, and toileting?

Things have been going on a lot recently, and even the savings I saved in previous years are almost gone.

It’s already tight enough for the family of five to support themselves with the eldest son’s salary alone. If there’s one more mouth to feed, my God, how will life be like?

These questions kept flashing in Chang Dafen's mind, making her expression very distorted.

Others also had different expressions.

Jiang Qiubai's pregnancy came suddenly, and no one in the Zheng family expected it.

But what is certain is that it is definitely not happiness.

Zheng Haicheng and his two siblings had similar ideas to Chang Dafen. This younger one was here to compete with them for the family's resources.

After all, there is only so much money, and now the family depends on the eldest brother for support. When the eldest brother has his own children, who knows if he will still be willing to spend money on them?

For a time, the three selfish siblings were all wary and defensive towards their unborn nephew and niece, and even cursed the child viciously not to be born.

Zheng Haiyang's expression was the most complicated.

When was the last time Jiang Qiubai and I slept together? Was it two months ago or three months ago? And she was pregnant just like that?

Zheng Haiyang had a sense of unreality. He didn't like Jiang Qiubai and even hated him a little, but he was also looking forward to the birth of his child.

The mixture of these two emotions made him feel extremely complicated and he was unable to react for a while.

Jiang Qiubai had been paying attention to everyone's expressions for some reason, and when he saw this scene, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

what happened?

Why is this, this, this different from what she imagined?

Forget about her two brothers-in-law and sister-in-law, she didn't have any expectations for these burdens.

But shouldn't the mother-in-law be ecstatic and hold her hand and praise her as a good daughter-in-law?

Shouldn't Brother Haiyang look at her gently and say to her, "I will definitely let you and your mother live a good life in the future"?

Why aren't these available?

Why do Mother-in-law and Brother Ocean seem not to be very happy?

Is there any man in the world who doesn’t want to have a son and a mother-in-law who doesn’t want to have a grandson?

Jiang Qiubai couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, Chang Dafen remembered that Guan Ailian showed off Dong Xiangxiang's belly in front of her, and said openly and secretly that the daughter-in-law he married from the city was useless and had not laid an egg after such a long marriage.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Qiubai might as well get pregnant. At least she won't be inferior to the old woman Guan Ailian.

Chang Dafen then smiled and said, "Okay then. Take good care of yourself and give our Zheng family a healthy, fat grandson next year."

Seeing her mother-in-law smile, Jiang Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

It turns out that my mother-in-law didn't dislike my pregnancy. Maybe the surprise was too big and shocking, so she didn't react for a while.

She said, what mother-in-law doesn’t like her grandchildren?

As for Zheng Haiyang, she ignored him for the time being.

Jiang Qiubai looked at Chang Dafen with burning eyes, looking forward to her next words.

Chang Dafen: ...No, why is this thing looking at me like that?

It's quite scary.

Never mind, let’s eat first, eating is the most important thing!

Jiang Qiubai waited and waited for a long time, but her mother-in-law didn't say anything.

Chang Dafen even picked up the bowl again and started eating with slurp.

Slurp~

It’s made with white flour and it smells so good!

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

Jiang Qiubai's expression cracked for a moment.

That's it?

Gone? !

She asked tentatively, "Mother-in-law...did you forget something?"

Chang Dafen frowned and looked up, very impatient, "What?"

Is it going to end? She just wants to have a meal, can't she just eat something good in peace?

Those who are familiar with her know that Chang Dafen is on the verge of exploding.

Jiang Qiubai's heart tightened. The past few days of friction had made her afraid to anger Chang Dafen. She could only smile awkwardly, "No, nothing..."

Chang Dafen didn't care and continued eating.

Jiang Qiubai looked calm on the surface, but secretly he was gritting his teeth.

Damn old hag!

Shouldn't you be told to do less housework and buy some meat and malted milk to nourish your body?

Although Dong Xiangxiang from the Third Hospital had been constantly ordered around to do chores after her pregnancy, she knew that Aunt Guan valued her unborn child very much and would often buy her meat, eggs, and malted milk to nourish her. Dong Xiangxiang truly enjoyed a good time.

Why, why is it that when it’s my turn to get pregnant, I have nothing left?!

Chang Dafen had no idea of ​​the resentment in Jiang Qiubai's heart, but even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. After all, in her eyes, Jiang Qiubai was just someone she could manipulate, unable to cause any trouble.

She finished the porridge in her bowl in a few gulps and urged,

"Hurry up and finish your meal and go to bed. Don't waste electricity."

Electricity is expensive these days, and most people are reluctant to use it. Even if you only have a few light bulbs installed at home, the monthly electricity bill is still a considerable expense.

So after Chang Dafen spoke, everyone quickly finished the remaining rice in their bowls and went back to their rooms to sleep, leaving Jiang Qiubai sitting alone in a daze in a corner of the dining table.

"Ouch...wait!"

Chang Dafen slapped his forehead and turned back halfway.

Jiang Qiubai thought that the old woman had a change of heart and finally realized that she should treat her, a pregnant woman, well, so she raised her head expectantly.

Chang Dafen glared at her and said, "Don't use too much water when washing dishes. Just wash them lightly and they'll be clean. Don't waste water."

Jiang Qiubai: “!!!”

Damn it, old hag!

Jiang Qiubai felt very aggrieved.

When a daughter-in-law becomes pregnant, isn't she treated like a treasure by the whole family? Isn't she treated with delicious food and drinks?

But in her family, the old hag didn't take it seriously at all, and the man pretended not to hear it even when he heard it.

Even now I have to wash dishes for the whole family, which is really a torture for myself.

It's simply, simply insane!

But Jiang Qiubai didn't dare to resist Chang Dafen's words. He could only clean up the dishes and go to the kitchen to wash them, crying silently while washing.

Wow, why is my life so miserable that I have to deal with such a family?

Jiang Qiubai felt sad.

Tonight, everyone in the Zheng family was preoccupied and tossing and turning.

Some do it because of guilt, resentment, fear, worry, and many other reasons.

……

Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia in the east wing were in a good mood because they had solved a problem, and they slept soundly.

When she woke up in the morning, Cheng Jiajia found that the yard was bustling with activity, as if a group of people were talking about something.

She got up and drew aside the curtains to take a look.

I saw Aunt Chang with a happy face and she was talking about something. Many aunts and young wives in the yard surrounded her.

Cheng Jiajia raised her eyebrows. What good news is going on in the Zheng family?

You know what, she's quite curious.

After I became curious, I wanted to try it out, hehe.

……

Chang Dafen couldn't wait to announce the news of Jiang Qiubai's pregnancy in the courtyard early in the morning.

Everyone started to congratulate, "Congratulations, Aunt Chang, your family will have a new baby next year."

"Aunt Chang, congratulations!"

"Oh, Old Chang, you are so lucky. Your daughter-in-law is so capable. She takes care of the housework without you having to worry about anything. She got pregnant so quickly. You will be able to enjoy the happiness of having a grandson in the future."

The compliments from everyone made Chang Dafen raise her chin even higher, with a look of pride on her face. "That's right, my daughter-in-law is just okay, she can only do some housework. But my son Haiyang is filial and capable. He gives me all his salary every month and she even gave birth to my grandson so soon. From now on, I will enjoy his blessings."

Everyone: "..."

...something seems wrong.

Uh, isn't it her daughter-in-law who's pregnant? How could her son be pregnant with her grandson?

But everyone looked at Chang Dafen's proud and proud expression and shut up silently.

Forget it, on such a festive day, I should just go along with Chang Dafen. Maybe I can even get two candies. There's nothing to be gained by arguing with this old hag.

So everyone spoke more and more nicely, and Chang Dafen was flattered.

In fact, there is a saying nowadays that you should not tell others about your pregnancy in the first three months so as not to frighten the baby.

But Chang Dafen didn't care whether it was three months or not. What she wanted was to slap Guan Ailian in the face as soon as possible so that she would know that her Dong Xiangxiang was not the only one who could give birth, but her daughter-in-law was also very capable.

Look, I’m pregnant.

Let’s see how she shows off in front of me in the future.

As expected, Guan Ailian's face was not very good. She curled her lips and said, "Hmph, don't be too happy too soon. It's not certain whether it will be a grandson or not." Before, her daughter-in-law was the only new daughter-in-law pregnant, the only one in the whole courtyard. Guan Ailian was so proud of it. Unexpectedly, the one from the Zheng family could also get pregnant. Guan Ailian was very unhappy that Chang Dafen had stolen the limelight.

Chang Dafen snorted proudly. "You're just jealous of me, jealous that my son is more capable than yours!"

Guan Ailian: “…”

Am I jealous that your son was arrested and imprisoned? Or am I jealous that your son married a fool?

Guan Ailian rolled her eyes and was too lazy to talk to the idiot in front of her.

Chang Dafen thought that he had hit the nail on the head and became even more arrogant.

He told the crowd how great, capable, filial his son was, and how he could control his wife.

In short, in her words, Zheng Haiyang is omnipotent.

Everyone: "..."

Is this still a human? It can't be.

Moreover, the Zheng Haiyang they knew was not like this!

When Cheng Jiajia got dressed and came out to wash, she only heard the tail end of the story and only knew that Jiang Qiubai was pregnant.

She was quite surprised. She didn't expect that the heroine would have a child so soon.

The first child between the hero and heroine in the book was born during the heroine's marriage to Yu Junsheng, and was the one that Jiang Qiubai passed off as Yu Junsheng's child. It seems that he didn't arrive so early, right?

But it's hard to say. After all, the current plot line has collapsed to Java. Everything is possible. It has little to do with her, so she doesn't care much.

The only thing Cheng Jiajia cares about is that Jiang Qiubai is pregnant. Will her life in the Zheng family be better in the future?

This is not possible!

Before Cheng Jiajia could say a few words to sow discord, Chang Dafen came to her first.

When Chang Dafen saw Cheng Jiajia, he felt like he had gotten rid of his anger. He still remembered the grudge that this dead girl had left his son and ran away with Yu Junsheng.

Chang Dafen said proudly, "Xiao Cheng, look, you're the only one left among the young wives who married in this year. You better hurry up! We've been married for four or five months, and there's still no news? Is there something wrong with your body that prevents you from having children?"

"I'm telling you, if you have any health problems, you must see a doctor right away. Don't be shy. Otherwise, the longer you delay, the harder it will be to recover."

Doesn't this implicitly mean that Cheng Jiajia can't have children? Although Cheng Jiajia believes that women don't need to rely on giving birth to prove themselves, she can't stand anyone slandering her. Besides, if this word gets out, she doesn't know what people will say about her.

This old guy is really a piece of shit!

Cheng Jiajia rolled her eyes and was about to retort.

Yu Junsheng appeared from behind her and asked in surprise, "Aunt Chang, your daughter-in-law is pregnant? Two months? Or three months? Why do I remember that Brother Haiyang was recuperating during that period..."

"Oh, no, that's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand me!" Yu Junsheng covered his mouth exaggeratedly and blinked his big eyes.

But that's clearly what he meant.

As soon as Yu Junsheng finished speaking, everyone became excited.

"I also remember that Haiyang injured his waist during that time. He was hospitalized for a while and then he stayed at home for about a month to recuperate."

If Jiang Qiubai was two or three months pregnant, that would have been the perfect time. But everyone knew that Zheng Haiyang had a back injury at the time, so it was impossible for him to have sex.

An elderly woman was very uncertain and asked cautiously, "Ah, was this conceived while she was recovering from her injuries?"

"Or…"

She took a deep breath and didn't dare to say the rest.

But it still made Chang Dafen's face turn pale. She cursed, "Bah! Don't let your evil heart lead you astray! My daughter-in-law got pregnant after my son recovered from his injury!"

Everyone finally understood, "Oh, so that's how it is?"

"We miscalculated the month."

Chang Dafen glared at Yu Junsheng fiercely. It was all this bastard's fault! If he didn't speak, there would be nothing!

This black-hearted kid, he didn't want to suffer any loss at all. He just urged his wife to see a doctor, but he dug a hole for himself.

Although Chang Dafen sounded certain, she was actually worried.

Because her son hadn't done anything with Jiang Qiubai since his back injury healed, and she hadn't overheard anything. What did this mean? It meant the two of them hadn't done anything like that!

How did this kid Jiang Qiubai come about?

Chang Dafen was a little panicked. This little bitch wouldn't really... Bah! She definitely wouldn't!

Cheng Jiajia raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that Chang Dafen looked a little, a little guilty?

No way, is there really something wrong with this child?

She tugged at Yu Junsheng's sleeve and motioned him to look.

Yu Junsheng raised his eyebrows, his mind was full of thoughts, but he said,

"Aunt Chang, my wife and I are well-informed, so you don't need to worry about it. After all, the relationship between our two families is not that good, right?"

Chang Dafen: “…”

"Hey, if you have nothing to do, go look after your precious grandson. You must keep a close eye on him."

If Yu Junsheng remembered correctly, the Zheng family's younger children weren't very friendly to Jiang Qiubai's child. It wasn't certain whether this child would be born safely.

He is such a kind-hearted person. Even though the relationship between the two families is like this, he is still willing to remind Chang Dafen.

Oh, today is another day when I am blessed by my own kindness.

Although I guess Chang Dafen won’t take it to heart.

But Yu Junsheng didn't care what Chang Dafen was thinking. He left after he finished speaking because he still had to go to work.

As long as the Zheng family’s affairs don’t come into his own hands, he’s happy to watch the show.
