Farming and reading family

Doctor Sun took Lei's pulse and told her to rest for a few days. If she had spotting, there might be a problem with the baby.

"Thank you, Uncle Sun." Gao E expressed gratitude.

"Alas." Doctor Sun said helplessly, "When encountering this kind of thing, try to be open-minded. You can't get angry when you are healthy."

"Yes, I will give my third brother's wife more guidance." Gao E promised.

Everyone outside wanted to come and see Mrs. Lei, but Gao E didn't let them in, saying that she needed to rest and couldn't be disturbed.

When those people couldn't find Lei, they turned their attention to Jiang. Some of Jiang's peers even started to criticize her.

"It's so difficult to raise something at home nowadays. You're going to kill and eat it when you come back. How can you live like this in the future?" Xu didn't know what to say to Jiang.

"That's right. Since Mrs. Lei is pregnant with your Chen family's child, it's only right that she be nourished. You're already old..."

"Look at you, you've been home for less than a day and you've already caused chaos at home."

……

Jiang was accused by so many people that she didn't even have the courage to fight back. She just lowered her head and said nothing.

Chen Jie ran back and rushed in to see his wife, making everyone in the yard sigh.

Zheng Fengan looked at Chen Fansheng and asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Chen Fansheng was embarrassed by Zheng Fengan's question and said that they didn't plan to leave, and he smiled dryly.

"After the spring sowing, we are too old to do the work of digging kilns and cutting wood. Besides, your three sons are filial and don't want you to do heavy work." Zheng Fengan said meaningfully.

What he meant was that you have come back after finishing your work and the family doesn't need you now.

Chen Fansheng could only nod: "There are a lot of chores at home, and we are older and have more experience."

"Our experience isn't enough," Zheng Fengan said bluntly. "Take this flood for example. It was the young people who weathered it all. We're just a burden."

Chen Fansheng fell silent again.

Seeing Chen Fansheng remained silent, Zheng Fengan continued, "The children are busy, so it's nice for you to come back and visit them occasionally, but this time you came back and it turned out like this... I'm not saying anything to you, but we're old now, and we have to think about the younger generation."

Chen Fansheng was speechless.

Chen Jie looked at Lei lying on the bed with a distressed look on his face: "Wife, are you okay?"

Seeing Chen Jie like this, Lei's heart softened: "I'm fine. I have to learn from my second sister-in-law to be more open-minded in the future."

Chen Jie sat on the bed and grabbed Lei's hand: "How about... I talk to my second brother and take you to live in He County."

"What are you talking about?" Lei shook off his hand. "I'm really fine. My second sister-in-law said before that my moods would fluctuate greatly because of my pregnancy. I didn't believe it at first, but now I really believe it."

Chen Jie wanted to laugh, but couldn't: "As long as you're okay."

"Aren't you afraid that something might happen to your child?" Lei joked.

Chen Jie shook his head: "We already have a son and a daughter, so we don't need to think too much."

Lei gently touched her belly and said, "Then I also want to give birth to two more children for you."

Chen Jie felt even more distressed when he heard Lei say this.

Among the three brothers, the eldest brother’s mother found a wife for him, the second brother’s second sister-in-law found him a wife, and only he found his own wife.

He always wondered how he could have found such a good wife. No matter what others said, his wife was the best.

"Okay, take good care of them. When we have our own house in the future, we can have more children." Chen Jie promised.

The people from Baotou Village stayed at Chen's house for a long time before leaving. Chen Fansheng did not enter the cave, but walked around in the yard.

After Master An and his companions had dinner, Gao E prepared a bowl of wine for each of them, which they drank with some broad beans to relieve their fatigue.

Chen Fansheng wanted to sit down and drink with them, but when the three of them saw him coming, they drank the wine in the bowl, grabbed a handful of broad beans, and went back to the cave.

This made him very embarrassed.

He is obviously the head of the Chen family, yet he is treated so badly by the family's farmhands.

Gao E never regarded them as permanent workers, but only regarded them as temporary residents because her current living quarters were not spacious enough.

The atmosphere in the Chen family was very depressing at night. Jiang wanted to explain to Lei that she did not kill the goose on purpose, but Chen Jie stood guard at the door of the cave and would not let her in.

"I just want to say a few words to your wife." Jiang felt that the third son had really forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. "I really didn't kill the goose on purpose."

"Mom didn't do anything on purpose. She didn't beat Yuning like that on purpose. She didn't drive a wedge between my second sister-in-law and her son on purpose. She didn't cause the three of us brothers to almost go to jail on purpose." Chen Jie said angrily, "I only have one daughter-in-law. Mom can't do it on purpose again."

Jiang was blocked by Chen Jie and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Yang came into the cave with the broth, and Jiang reached out to take the broth.

"I'll send it in to the second son's wife." Jiang looked at Yang in a flattering manner.

Although Yang avoided it for a while, she hesitated whether to give it to her mother-in-law.

"I'll take it there." Chen Jie grabbed the bowl, turned around, went into the cave and bolted the door.

He knew that his sister-in-law was gentle and did not dare to disobey his mother.

Jiang was furious when she heard the door being bolted: "You're guarding against me like a thief."

"That's different. The thief was beaten to death long ago." Lei said loudly in the room.

Jiang's face flushed with anger. She turned to Yang and said, "Hurry up and send a bowl to your father as well."

Gao E didn't care at all: "Dad is old, it's not good for him to drink tonic soup at night, let's eat it together tomorrow morning."

Jiang was stunned: "How can such a good thing be given to outsiders?"

"What are you talking about, mother? There are no outsiders living in this yard." Gao E was puzzled.

They didn't lower their voices, and the people who had already entered the cave heard it clearly, and for a moment they disliked Jiang even more.

Jiang thought Gao'e was just being generous. "Go and serve me a bowl with more meat."

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

Yang was a little surprised. Why did she feel that her second brother's wife was so easy to talk to?

Gao E personally went to serve soup to Jiang, added the boiled astragalus water into it, and then put in a whole goose leg.

Jiang was very satisfied with the whole goose leg and started eating it while sitting at the door of the cave.

She killed the goose, so why can't she eat one leg?

Passersby took a look and said nothing. It was the Chen family's business.

However, at night Jiang couldn't sleep.

When they were in He County, she and Chen Fansheng slept in the same room, on a big bed, and their bedding was all newly bought.

Now the newly purchased bedding is given to Chen Fansheng, and she is using the bedding that she had patched up before.

Besides, there were so many people in the cave, and Yan'er and Xi'er were children, so they had bad sleeping postures and kept tossing and turning.

The cave was filled with mixed smells, the ducks and geese in the yard could call at any time, and Jiang's whole body was hot and ready to burst out at any time.

Suddenly, Yan'er turned over and pressed her legs on her grandmother's quilt. Jiang sat up suddenly and pushed Yan'er away.

"You keep tossing and turning and won't let me sleep properly." Jiang scolded angrily.

Everyone in the cave woke up, and Yan'er and Xi'er were so scared that they started crying.
