The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

With a gentle smile on her face, Su Xiufen lifted the thermos in her hand slightly.

She smiled and said, "I heard from Yanxun that you woke up and were very hungry. I went home to stew a chicken. The chicken was freshly killed, which is why it took a while. Otherwise, I would have brought you food earlier."

"Mom, you stewed chicken?" Lu Yanting exclaimed in surprise.

They are allowed to raise chickens in the residential compound where they live, but there are regulations that each household cannot raise more than five chickens.

They must be kept in cages and cannot be allowed to roam freely.

The Lu family raised three hens, which would lay a few eggs from time to time, and they could keep them to pass the time.

Given the Lu family's circumstances, eating chicken every day is nothing special. The problem is that the two Lu sisters take turns feeding the three chickens in the family.

Over time, they developed a bond with the food.

Lu Yanting not only named each of them, but also specifically instructed Su Xiufen not to kill the three chickens.

We must keep them alive; we can't even kill them during the Lunar New Year.

Before Su Xiufen could answer, Lu Yanting asked again, "Mom, did you kill one of our chickens?"

Su Xiufen turned to look at her youngest daughter and gently scolded, "Your sister-in-law needs to take care of her health, what's wrong with killing a chicken to nourish her?"

Lu Yanting retorted excitedly, "You promised you wouldn't kill them! She needs to recover, you can buy a chicken and stew it for her, why did you do this!"

“Your sister-in-law is in the hospital, and Mom is in a hurry to cook and bring it over. How could she have time to go out and buy another one?” Su Xiufen’s tone became more serious. “It’s just a chicken. It’s raised to eat. Why are you making such a fuss? Don’t be so unreasonable.”

Lu Yanting's eyes reddened with anger, and tears welled up in them: "Those aren't ordinary chickens, they're my pets! Why didn't you cook something else and bring it over? Did you have to stew chicken for her?"

"She starved herself to the point of being hospitalized; it's all her fault. Who's being unreasonable here?"

Lu Yanting clenched her fists excitedly.

She absolutely loathed Jiang Zao, that wicked woman!

Because Lu Yanting's reaction was so strong and unexpected, Jiang Zao, who was originally feeling very hungry, was so frightened that she forgot about her hunger for a moment.

Fearing that the conflict between mother and daughter would escalate, Jiang Zao kindly tried to smooth things over: "Then I won't eat it. Let's find a good burial place to bury the chicken, so that it can at least have a whole corpse."

Jiang Zao swore that she really just meant well.

There was no intention of throwing a tantrum or being sarcastic.

But what she thought was understanding was seen by the Lu family as the eve of an impending storm.

Su Xiufen disregarded her daughter's feelings and quickly comforted Jiang Zao: "Tingting is just being childish. I'll definitely scold her later. Don't worry about what she says; it's just childish nonsense and doesn't count."

As Su Xiufen spoke, she came to Jiang Zao's bedside and quickly opened the thermos:

"I was in a hurry and didn't stew it long enough, so the chicken might not be tender enough. Please make do with this for now. I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy a bigger one, stew it longer, and bring it over."

Su Xiufen spoke gently and sincerely, and personally served the chicken soup.

They were as attentive as if they were serving a young mistress.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zao felt embarrassed to refuse.

But thinking about what Lu Yanting had done earlier, she felt embarrassed to eat.

My relationship with my sister-in-law was already bad, and if I ate her pet chicken in front of her, the feud would probably escalate.

From now on, my life in my husband's family will likely be even more precarious.

But...

Jiang Zao stole a glance at the large bowl of chicken soup with meat and broth, and her cravings, which had been scared off by Lu Yanting, were rekindled.

But she was really hungry.

The original owner's body hadn't eaten for a day and a half, and it was also the body of a pregnant woman.

Besides, she had promised the babies in her belly that she would never let them go hungry again.

Even if she doesn't eat it herself, the child still needs to eat it.

The chicken has already been killed; if she doesn't eat it, the chicken can't come back to life.

After some internal struggle, Jiangzao finally decided to eat it.

As I said before, let's think about those messy things after we've eaten our fill.

No matter whose pet it is, once its fur is plucked and it's put in the pot, it's just food.

So, eat.

Thinking this, Jiang Zao dragged her heavy body and tried to sit up.

Unfortunately, her large belly was not only inconvenient but also very heavy.

She could only scoot her legs and feet on the bed to see if she could prop herself up.

"He must look quite pitiful," Jiang Zao thought.

Having no experience whatsoever, she revealed her true embarrassment in front of everyone.

Su Xiufen, having been through similar experiences, immediately called Lu Yanxun for help.

"Yan Xun, what are you standing there for? Come over and help Xiao Zao sit up."

Lu Yanxun frowned, instinctively resisting his mother's words.

Or rather, it's a resistance to ginger and jujubes.

Although he and Jiang Zao did not have a marital relationship, she was still carrying his child.

Even if you're resistant, you should still help her up.

However, Lu Yanxun's expression immediately became colder and uglier, as if warning Jiang Zao not to take the opportunity to act recklessly.

Not wanting to be disliked, Jiang Zao hurriedly refused, "No! Don't! No need! Don't come any closer!"

Jiang Zao called out urgently, and Lu Yanxun quickly stopped in his tracks.

He scrutinized Jiang Zao with a cold gaze, silently wondering if she was up to something again.

Honestly, Jiang Zao had no time to think about anything fancy.

She's not the original Jiang Zao; she's a Jiang Zao born in the 00s.

Jiang Zaoxin was so exhausted that she was speechless. Even though she felt wronged and innocent, she couldn't utter a single word.

Su Xiufen was worried about Jiang Zao's health: "Xiao Zao, is something wrong? If you're not feeling well, you must tell me. You're carrying twins and it's late in your pregnancy, so you need to be extra careful."

Just as Jiang Zao was about to reply that she felt no discomfort, a doctor in a white coat walked in.

Seeing the doctor arrive, Su Xiufen's worry finally eased a little.

She took a step back, making room for him: "Dr. Chen, it's good that you're here. My daughter-in-law has woken up, please take a look at her quickly."

Dr. Chen smiled and nodded to Su Xiufen before walking over to Jiang Zao.

"Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore," Jiang Zao shook her head.

"Pull back the blanket," Dr. Chen said, taking out his stethoscope. "Tell me, how exactly do you feel?"

Although Jiang Zao was more than seven months pregnant, she was just a first-time pregnant woman who had only just accepted her pregnancy half a day ago.

It was really embarrassing to have to lift the blanket and show people my belly.

Even though Dr. Chen was a woman, she still felt very uncomfortable.

But then she thought, she's already pregnant, and she still has a long time to go through with this big belly, so there's no use being shy.

The path that must be taken still needs to be taken.

Jiang Zao lowered her head and, steeling herself, pulled back the blanket.

Without the blanket to cover her, her swollen belly was exposed to Jiang Zao.

They also appeared before the Lu family.

Faced with her seven-month-old twin pregnancy and the thought of being watched by so many people, Jiang Zao froze.
