After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Although Zhao Jianliang was not very happy, he did not refuse Wang Yanling's request, after all, it was his duty.

Gradually, Zhao Jianliang also helped with a lot of things at home, and now he doesn't go out much anymore, since there's always farm work to be done at home.

With Zhao Jianliang, a strong and capable man, by her side, Wang Yanling's early pregnancy was much easier, and she and Zhao Jianliang began to live like a married couple.

……

Time flew by unnoticed, and it was already the summer of 1987.

Wang Yanling's belly was already slightly protruding; she was more than four months pregnant! Zhao Jianliang had also been working on the farm for half a year.

Wang Yanling thought to herself that the corn, peanuts, and sweet potatoes in the field had all been weeded, the grass along the field ridges had been cut clean by Zhao Jianliang, and the weeds and wild grass in the paddy fields had also been cleared away.

In this way, if Zhao Jianliang wants to go out, there's absolutely no problem!

So at the lunch table, Wang Yanling looked at Zhao Jianliang's sun-darkened face and said cautiously, "There's not much to do in the fields now. If you have something to do outside, you can go out and help out."

Upon hearing the stepmother speak, the three children and the one adult at the table all turned to look at her.

Wang Yanling didn't dare to be tough with Zhao Jianliang, but she wasn't afraid of these three kids! She glared at them and said irritably, "What are you looking at? There's food here, yet you're still looking around like thieves. If you're full, put down your bowls and go cut grass to feed the cows!"

"Hmph, even a cow would be more useful than you. You can't do much work, but you eat a lot!"

Upon hearing their stepmother's scolding, the three children were so frightened that they dared not breathe and quickly lowered their heads to shovel their rice into their mouths.

As for whether they feel wronged by being scolded, that's completely untrue. It's common for rural children to be beaten and scolded.

As long as you have enough to eat and warm clothes, that's a happy life!

As the eldest man in the family, Zhao Jianliang always felt that disciplining children was a woman's job, and he wouldn't interfere! If a child dared to talk back after being beaten or scolded, then it was time for him, as the father, to pick up a bamboo stick and discipline him!

After venting her emotions, Wang Yanling felt a little better and said, "Let's eat." The family of five then began to eat in silence, with only the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

After finishing their meal, the three children quickly cleared away the earthen bowls and plates on the table and ran off to wash them.

After finishing her meal, Wang Yanling leisurely walked to the grape trellis by the door to cool off.

In the past, Zhao Jianliang would go to work in the fields without stopping after finishing his meal, but now that he had finished all the work, he saw his wife sitting in the shade by the door.

He sat down next to him, and judging from his posture, he clearly had something to say.

Zhao Jianliang looked at Wang Yanling, then his gaze fell on her stomach, and he asked, "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well and couldn't do heavy work? What will happen to the heavy work at home if I go out?"

Wang Yanling thought about it for a moment and realized that there really wasn't anyone who could lend a hand. She couldn't count on her family, since she hadn't helped them much after marrying into the Zhao family.

The Wang family did come looking for them a few times, but they all disappeared after Wang Yanling threatened Zhao Jianliang.

The Wang family had never dealt with Zhao Jianliang before and were somewhat intimidated by the many rumors surrounding him.

They married their youngest daughter into the family not because they hoped he would help them out of consideration for their relatives.

The main reason was that they thought their youngest daughter was gentle and that as long as she married into the family and Zhao Jianliang was not often at home, they could control Wang Yanling.

The youngest daughter can be the head of the household in the Zhao family, so if anything happens to her maternal family, Wang Yanling certainly wouldn't dare not help.

If the Wang family is bullied by the villagers, Zhao's parents, as in-laws, will help out of consideration for their relationship.

As long as Zhao's parents speak up, no matter how fierce the son-in-law is, won't he listen to his parents?

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. This youngest daughter always favored her husband's family over her own, never letting a single thing from her husband's family into her own home, let alone helping out.

As for his in-laws, they had already been ruined by Zhao Jianliang's ex-wife. Apart from his parents, Zhao Jianliang had never tried to repair his relationship with his younger siblings.

If Zhao Jianliang didn't care, then Wang Yanling cared even less.

The consequence of this indifference is that without a man in the house, there's no one to lend a hand when something happens.

Wang Yanling thought to herself, "Anyway, there's nothing much going on right now, so you can go if you want. If there's any heavy work, we'll wait for you to come back to do it."

What constitutes heavy work? In the 1980s, when everyone was as busy as an ox, carrying water, carrying things, carrying heavy loads, and moving things were all considered heavy work; nothing else counted.

Wang Yanling thought to herself, it's good that Zhao Jianliang is gone. With the man gone, she can relax a bit. Otherwise, she would have to work during the day and deal with him at night, and she really wouldn't have the energy.

As for the claim that Wang Yanling is pregnant and cannot be cared for, there is no such saying in the countryside. If you don't meet a man's needs, he won't understand your difficulties and will only find a lover in the village.

Of course, if Wang Yanling refused, Zhao Jianliang wouldn't force her. But what Wang Yanling didn't know was that she never refused Zhao Jianliang whenever he wanted to come.

Ignorance stems from a lack of understanding.

Some men never realize that pregnant women need understanding, nutritional supplements, and protection. Expecting these roughnecks to be considerate? Don't even think about it.

In rural areas, if you are pregnant, as long as you can still walk and work, there are chores that pregnant women are entitled to do.

Wang Yanling used to only know that sending her children to school was the best way out, and she also knew that she was in poor health and couldn't overwork herself.

But she still didn't think that being pregnant meant staying at home, doing housework, and feeding the pigs.

She only knows superficial things and doesn't know how to take good care of herself.

To eat better, you need to have a boiled egg or egg drop soup every day, and use more oil when stir-frying vegetables.

As for killing a chicken to nourish one's body, that's impossible. A frugal rural girl like her would never think of treating herself well.

So even though she was pregnant, Wang Yanling would still go with Zhao Jianliang to pull weeds in the fields, carry firewood from the mountains, cut pig feed and cow feed, or fertilize the crops.

Zhao Jianliang looked at Wang Yanling, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start. Their relationship was so-so, and they had never spoken intimately to each other in private.

In the end, Zhao Jianliang still didn't say anything. Wang Yanling wanted Zhao Jianliang to show more fatherly love to the child in her womb, so she would intentionally or unintentionally talk about her feelings about being pregnant.

It's the same now; when the two run out of things to talk about, Wang Yanling starts talking non-stop.

"It's only been a little over four months, look, my belly is just starting to swell up a bit," Wang Yanling said, sticking out her belly.

Then she pulled her clothes tighter around her stomach. After all, summer clothes are thin, and Zhao Jianliang immediately noticed his wife's slightly protruding belly and navel.

Wang Yanling is thin, so her four-month pregnancy wasn't very noticeable, but Zhao Jianliang found it quite novel.
