Zuo Ziwen got up and went into the kitchen to braise the duck.

After all, she needed her mother-in-law's help, so it was understandable that she could do more work, she thought.

Seeing her holding her waist, Su Ying said, "Be careful. Switch jobs with the second son's wife, or let the third son do it."

The man at home, Dong Cai, is lying down.

Dong Hua is in the room.

Zuo Ziwen glanced at her and saw that she was washing the vegetables with ease.

Said, "No need, don't be so pretentious, I can do it."

She felt that her sister-in-law was too cautious and would not do any heavy work.

But girls from a family like theirs are not destined to be so pretentious, as they are not the eldest lady.

She insisted.

Su Ying, okay, blame her for being too talkative. Just do more if you can.

After washing the vegetable leaves, she went back to her room to rest, ignoring the hustle and bustle outside.

I inevitably felt anxious.

Fourteen this year.

It’s the Lantern Festival next year.

Wendong said Yuanxiao would be able to come back.

But she didn't receive any call from the person who came back, so he didn't come back?

By the afternoon, the busy affairs of the Dong family were almost finished thanks to the busy work of the women. All the family members were there. The third and second daughters were accompanied by their husbands, and He Shujun had Dong Dacheng by her side. She frowned in annoyance, which was rare.

Dong Si came back after shopping.

I have to be busy cooking the vegetables, arranging the fruits on a plate, and making some handmade rice cakes.

Tofu sells best during festivals.

Especially in the past two days, He Shujun has been too busy.

Dong Si was busy as a whirlwind. He looked at his second brother lying down and his third brother also resting. That was fine, but what about his eldest sister-in-law?

Ma Xiaoyan said, "Inside the house."

Dong Si ran over and shouted, "Sister-in-law, please come and help me make the rice cake. It will take me a long time to finish it alone." She complained.

Su Ying didn't move and said, "I'm not feeling well."

Dong Sidao said, "Isn't my third sister-in-law also working? Why is it inconvenient for you?"

Su Ying glanced at her and said, "Aren't the second and third brothers free? Why don't you call them?"

Dong Sixin thought, then I have to be able to shout too.

Su Ying said, "I'm going to read a book, don't disturb me if there's nothing else."

She closed the door of the room.

Dong Si was so angry that he almost died, "Lazy!"

She had never seen her sister-in-law so lazy. Her mother was busy from morning to night, and even her father was busy.

How could Su Ying be so complacent and lazy? She felt sorry for her parents and couldn't bear it anymore, so she said, "Second brother, come and help."

Dong Caicai didn't want to do it, and kept saying, "How can I know how to do your women's work?"

Dong Si was furious, "Third brother!"

Dong Hua hasn't said anything yet.

Zuo Ziwen said, "Your third brother finally got a day off. Let him rest. We'll do it."

He Shujun also said, "Why do you call your brother for a little work? It's not right for a boy to do any work."

Then I was busy and my forehead was covered with sweat.

Dong Si felt distressed watching this. If she didn't do it, her mother would have to do it all. In the end, she had no choice but to accept her fate and do it. She had to work more and rest early so that her parents could rest. However, she had to cook and prepare fish and duck meat on the stove at the end of the day. She was so busy that she became irritable.

When Su Ying was being lazy at this time, she became even more angry.

"It serves you right that big brother has a woman outside..." she cursed.

Who wants her when she is so lazy?

He Shujun said, "Shut up."

When she mentioned the boss, she almost forgot about him.

"When does your brother plan to come back? Will he be back when your sister-in-law gives birth?"

"How would I know? I didn't contact him..." Dong Si said as a matter of course.

Only then did the family remember Zheng Wendong.

Next month, Su Ying is going to give birth.

Zheng Wendong has shown no intention of coming back yet. Is he really going to be a hands-off boss?

Dong Si suddenly felt sympathy for Su Yingying again.

He Shujun frowned, thinking it was too troublesome. If the eldest son didn't come back, he would have to take care of his wife by himself.

She doesn't want to do it.

Taking care of the third daughter-in-law is tiring enough.

How is she going to take care of two newborns?

After thinking for a while, he said to Dong Si, "Ask your sister-in-law when your brother will be back. By then, there will be two pregnant women at home, so don't count on me. I'm too busy to handle it."

She wants to say the ugly words first.

"If it doesn't work, she can just see if anyone from her mother's family comes over."

Dong Si muttered, "I'm not going. Who cares about her?"

None of them work.

Her parents-in-law were so busy at home, but she could still bear it and not help out. Her third sister-in-law was doing all the work.

A very selfish person.

"Sister-in-law, I will help you take care of the child when the time comes." Dong Si deliberately said loudly.

Zuo Ziwen took it seriously and breathed a sigh of relief. Wasn't she busying herself all this time just to get her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to lend a hand?

In the room, Su Ying heard Dong Si's deliberate shouting.

He frowned.

Ignore it.

The men at home are idle.

Let two pregnant women be busy, and there is no need to worry about any bumps or accidents.

The Dong family just needs to get by.

She was just trying to protect herself.

She put her hands on her stomach, feeling very anxious and unable to concentrate on her studies.

"Why didn't your father call me..."

She was wondering if Zheng Wendong would change his mind and not come.

If he doesn't come, should I go to the capital to find him?

Su Ying didn't want to. She didn't like the capital, nor did she like the big provincial capital.

She had been moving around those cities since she was a child, and it was hard for her to settle down somewhere.

Her requirement for a partner is that they should not live apart and grow up together with her and their children.

If Zheng Wendong can't do it.

What should I do?

Divorce him? Raise the child on your own.

The more Su Ying thought about it, the more negative she became, and she became depressed. The baby in her belly stopped moving and was extremely quiet, as if hiding, as if afraid that she would nag her.

The more Su Ying thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, but rationally she knew she shouldn't feel so aggrieved.

You think badly of something that hasn't happened.

It's the hormones at work.

Maybe Wendong will be home in the evening.

Su Ying thought.

As a result, when the Lantern Festival arrived, Zheng Wendong did not show up and there was no phone call.

When Su Ying appeared in front of her family in the morning, her eyes were red and swollen. He Shujun saw it and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law..."

Su Ying looked up in a depressed mood. She was dreaming.

She dreamed that her children were laughing at her for being sentimental.

It's so hateful.

She wanted to beat her.

But one night he caught her in a dream and he couldn't bear to beat her, so she woke up in anger.

"what happened?"

He Shujun said directly, "You've seen that my family is very busy with business. Your sister-in-law and you are giving birth at about the same time. I definitely won't be able to take care of you when the time comes. Your sister-in-law asked me to pay her to help her with the confinement. If you don't pay, I can't help you, otherwise I will be accused of being biased. I'm not after money, I'm just worried about being unfair..."

"Mom knows you don't have much money."

"Why don't you go find someone from your mother's family to help you with the confinement? Don't count on me. I'm too busy."

Su Ying said, "Mom, there's no need for me to make an agreement with Wen Dong. He will be back when I give birth."

He Shujun was surprised and thought, what’s the point of Wendong coming back? Can a man like him help you with the confinement?

But she didn't say anything, too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

Anyway, she was notified.

Su Ying walked out of the kitchen with a sullen face, carrying her meal.

She didn't expect her mother-in-law to help her with the confinement period, but her mother-in-law's words made her inexplicably sensitive, as if she was saying, "Go to your parents' home, Wendong will not come back." She knew her mother-in-law might not mean that, but she couldn't help thinking so.
