Xu Wencheng was protected by the Jiang family and made faces at Xu Yongwang.

Xu Yongwang, who had originally wanted to keep the peace due to the pressure from his wife, no longer cared about his face when he saw this and vowed to catch Xu Wencheng and give him a good beating.

Xu Wencheng was so scared that he ran around the house and yard, and the house suddenly became lively.

After Song Yuntang put the medicine box back into the house, he went out and looked at the father and son, and couldn't help but cover his forehead.

These two, father and son, are already grown up, why do they still act like children?

Jiang brought the food to the table.

"Tang'er, don't take them seriously. They are both unreliable." She handed Song Yuntang a pair of chopsticks, looked outside, and said loudly, "Let's eat first and not wait for them."

After hearing this, the father and son quickly stopped fighting.

Xu Wencheng trotted to the table and sat down.

"Mom, we're here."

Looking at him with sweat all over his forehead and messy hair, Jiang rolled her eyes at him.

"You're fifteen years old, and you're still not in good shape. Your sister-in-law is ten months older than you. Look at her." He turned and looked at Xu Yongwang who was sitting next to him. "And you too, you've been a father for more than 20 years. Can't you be more prudent in front of your daughter-in-law?"

The father and son looked at each other, both lowered their heads and said nothing.

Song Yuntang also remained silent, just using chopsticks to slowly pick up the rice in the bowl and put it into his mouth.

Xu Yongwang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Jiang.

"Wife, don't be angry, eat meat."

Then he seemed to think of something, stood up, took down the basket hanging under the eaves, and took out something wrapped in blue floral cloth.

"Girl, I picked this thing in the mountains the day before yesterday. Can you help me see what it is?"

Song Yuntang put down his bowl and chopsticks, reached out to take the thing handed to him by Xu Yongwang, spread out the cloth and saw that it was actually a ginseng!

"Dad, this is ginseng!"

Jiang was shocked.

"Is it really ginseng? If we take this thing to town and sell it, how much silver would it be worth?"

Song Yuntang took a closer look.

"This ginseng is of good quality and integrity. It should be able to sell for around fifty taels."

Xu Yongwang smiled and said, "Okay, then you'll be the one to decide about the ginseng. We don't understand it, and it's not worth it to go back to the town and get ripped off."

Song Yuntang did not refuse, she wrapped the ginseng in cloth again.

"When the things are exchanged for silver, I will bring them back to mother."

Jiang shook her head and said, "I've been married to your father for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered such a good thing. Maybe it's you who brought you good luck. Qingye gave you silver when he went to the county before, but you didn't want it. You can use this ginseng for yourselves after exchanging it for silver."

Having said that, he hurriedly greeted a few people.

"Hurry up and eat, it will get cold soon."

Song Yuntang nodded and picked up the chopsticks again.

She glanced in the direction of Jiang and Xu Yongwang. She had to say that this in-laws were extremely nice. They never put on airs and even gave away the ginseng worth fifty taels of silver without any hesitation.

In the future, if Xu Qingye really meets a woman he likes outside and breaks up with her, even if she won’t miss him, she will miss her parents-in-law.

Seeing Song Yuntang in a daze, Jiang picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in her bowl.

"Don't just stand there, eat more meat. You were skinny to begin with, and you haven't gained any weight since you married into our family. It makes me sad to see you like that."

Song Yuntang frowned.

"Thank you ma'am."

……

After dinner, Xu Yongwang rushed to wash the dishes.

Seeing that her youngest son had also returned to his room, Jiang went to Song Yuntang's room.

Song Yuntang was sorting his things in the house. It was already getting dark, and the light at the door was suddenly blocked by a figure. Song Yuntang couldn't help but turn his head to look.

"Mom, what's going on with me?"

Jiang Madam took her hand and whispered, feeling a little embarrassed, "It's like this. Mom's period used to be quite regular, around the 20th of every month. This time it's been delayed for almost half a month, and I'm worried..."

She looked outside the house, leaned close to Song Yuntang's ear, and lowered her voice again.

"Mom is already 42 years old. I'm afraid she's really pregnant. At her age, her son is already married. It's quite embarrassing."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Don't think so, mother. Having children is fate, there is no shame. Let me take a look for you first. There are many reasons that affect menstruation. Maybe it's not pregnancy?"

Jiang quickly extended her hand.

"Okay, you take a look at me first. If I'm really pregnant..." She hardened her heart and said with her eyes closed, "Tang'er will prescribe me an abortion pill."

In fact, she also has complicated feelings.

I'm afraid that I'm pregnant, but I'm also afraid that I'm not.

After all, either you are pregnant or you are sick.

Her son just got married and she hasn’t even had a grandson yet, so she can’t get sick.

After a moment, Song Yuntang's expression became strange.

"Mom, how about I think about it again?"

Jiang's heart was hanging in the air.

"No way? Are you really pregnant?"

Song Yuntang was unsure, "It's true that her pulse is slippery, but I can't confirm it so quickly. It might be because we haven't had enough time. I'll feel her pulse again in a few days to confirm it."

However, this kind of pulse may also appear before normal menstruation.

Jiang lowered her head and touched her belly, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

After a long while, she said reluctantly, "I'm already old. If I really get pregnant, I won't be able to face people in the village with a big belly."

Song Yuntang advised, "Mom, it's rare for you to get pregnant at your age. I think if you really get pregnant, you should tell Dad about it. After all, he is the father of the child."

Although she was married to Xu Qingye, she would probably have to wait two years before she could get pregnant and have a child. If Jiang was really pregnant, it would also allow the family's attention not to be focused on her.

Jiang thought about it, shook her head and said, "No, you can't tell your father about this. If he knew, he would definitely make me keep the child."

She held Song Yuntang's hand.

"Tang'er, right now, only mother and I know about this. Promise me not to tell anyone."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Okay, I won't tell."

Jiang let out a long sigh.

"When you come back from town tomorrow, please bring me a set of abortion pills. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we'll cut the Gordian knot. Otherwise, when the child grows up, I really won't be able to bear it."

"Mom, don't you really want to discuss this with Dad?"

"No need to discuss it." Jiang looked at her. "I already have Qingye and Wencheng, and now you're coming into our family. I have a son and a daughter, and I'm content."

He then looked down at his stomach.

"I can only blame it on the fact that this child came at the wrong time. If he had come seven or eight years earlier, I would definitely have kept him."

Song Yuntang saw her reluctance.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll come back from town tomorrow and bring you the medicine. Anyway, you still have a few days to think it over before the diagnosis is confirmed."

Jiang nodded.

"Hey, mother went back to the house first."
