Chapter 378 Return to the city
Sun Ruhua returned home and told Xie Jiaojiao about this. Xie Jiaojiao just felt it was a pity.
Sun Ruhua sighed: "If your Aunt Wang knew Xiu'er was pregnant, she might be able to hold on for a few more days."
After saying that, he got up and went to work in the backyard.
Sun Ruhua tidied up the backyard and planted the watermelon seeds according to what Xie Jiaojiao had done before.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the whole village became green, and more and more people were busy working in the fields. The village chief's youngest son also came back. When he heard that his mother had become a concubine, he got very angry at home!
But Chen Shouren didn't dare to do anything to him. After all, his youngest son was better at studying than his elder brother and had already passed the examination for a student. He would take the examination for a scholar next year!
He's counting on him!
But now there was no way to drive Wang Qiushi away, which stumped him for a moment.
Everyone in the village was waiting to see Chen Shouren make a fool of himself.
His youngest son was unwilling to go to school because his mother was a concubine. After all, he thought it was shameful to tell others about it!
Chen Shouren had no choice but to grit his teeth and support Wang Qiushi as his second wife!
This incident became the topic of conversation among villagers for a long time. Everyone was happy to watch the fun, and the only one who felt uncomfortable was Chen Shouren.
The new wife made a scene at home because he made Wang Qiushi his co-wife. She wouldn't let him into the house for several days. There was nothing she could do. The house was so small that he couldn't go to the new wife's room, so he could only go to Wang Qiushi's room. Wang Qiushi was happy about it, but Chen Shouren was too lazy to touch her. He always slept on his back, which made Wang Qiushi unhappy...
And because he was now a co-wife and not a concubine, he and the new wife had many quarrels at home, and the noise at home made Chen Shouren have a headache all day long!
A group of men in the village sat under the largest banyan tree in the village, laughing and joking: "Look at the chaos in the village chief's house all day long. I guess not everyone can enjoy the blessing of having two wives!"
"Fuck you, don't you want to enjoy it?"
"I don't have any money. If I had money, I wouldn't think eight or ten wives would be too many!"
Just as he finished speaking, his ears were lifted up: "Ah! Wife, it hurts, it hurts..."
"Why? You still want to marry ten or eight wives?"
"I was just kidding them!"
The woman snorted, picked him up by the ear and took him away. The people under the banyan tree laughed again...
Xie Jiaojiao's belly was showing a little, but because of the spring clothes she wore, it was not noticeable to outsiders. She hadn't had morning sickness as much recently, but she had become more sleepy.
Jiang Weinan was worried that something might happen to her, so he asked Lai Fu to go to the town to ask Doctor Hu to take Xie Jiaojiao's pulse.
"Young Madam is fine."
With these words, Jiang Weinan felt relieved.
Sun Ruhua said: "Tomorrow at the temple fair, I will go get you a lucky charm to bless you with a smooth pregnancy."
Before Xie Jiaojiao could say anything, Jiang Weinan spoke up: "Thank you, mother!"
After Lai Fu sent Doctor Hu away, Xie Jiaojiao prepared to get up and stretch her muscles.
Jiang Weinan hurried to support her.
Xie Jiaojiao laughed: "Okay, I'm over the first three months, don't be so cautious."
"How can you not be so careful? This is your first child!"
Xie Jiaojiao ignored him and went for a walk in the yard. Now the whole yard was full of flowers, which looked very beautiful.
The puppy that was brought home has grown a lot now. When it saw Xie Jiaojiao, it rushed over, wagging its tail and jumping around at her feet.
Jiang Weinan was afraid that it would trip Xie Jiaojiao, so he called Cuizhu and said, "Move Wangcai to the side!"
Cuizhu hurried over to pull it, and it barked at Jiang Weinan twice.
"Hey! This dog has become a spirit!"
Xie Jiaojiao was speechless.
I guess he's just walking around the fields again.
Many children from the village were playing by the edge of the field.
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast!"
On the way, the two met Xie Zhili and Liu Mingyue who were returning from selling firewood in the town.
Both of them had smiles on their faces and greeted her hastily when they saw her.
Xie Jiaojiao said: "Starting tomorrow, the half-year supply of firewood that our family ordered from you will be delivered. But if you continue to deliver, I will pay you."
At the beginning, Xie Jiaojiao helped him build a few more rooms and asked him to deliver firewood for half a year to pay off the debt. Today is exactly half a year.
He wanted to say that there was no need to give money, but he also understood Xie Jiaojiao's temper, so he just nodded.
Seeing that Liu Mingyue was still holding two packets of medicine in her hands, Xie Jiaojiao did not waste any more of their time.
After returning home, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Let's go back to Jiangbo City tomorrow and take care of the things on hand so that I can prepare for the birth of my baby with peace of mind."
"If you have anything to do, just ask Steward Wang to do it. I think you can now rest assured and prepare for the birth of your baby."
Xie Jiaojiao disagreed: "Some things are better for us to do together! What I want is to have a good rest after giving birth. I don't want to worry about business matters after giving birth."
Hearing her say yes, Jiang Weinan felt for the first time that it would be great if he could help her in some way.
The next morning, Sun Ruhua went to the temple with Mrs. Wu. When she came back at noon, she gave Xie Jiaojiao a peace charm and Jiang Weinan another one. "I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the Bodhisattva will bless you two to be safe and sound."
Both of them held amulets and placed them on their bodies.
I started packing up in the afternoon.
Sun Ruhua pulled Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Be careful when you go back! Although the first three months have passed, you are still pregnant after all. It's not the same as before. Don't worry too much."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I understand, mother. Why don't you go to Jiangbo City with us so that you won't be worried."
Sun Ruhua hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head: "Forget it, I believe my son-in-law will take good care of you. I'd better stay in the village and look after your belongings. Only then will I feel at ease."
Xie Jiaojiao followed her.
"If you feel bored, go talk to Aunt Wu. Also, please take care of Niu Er. If there is anything, have someone notify me."
Sun Ruhua nodded, and thought of Wang Po again, her eyes reddened: "Okay, mother knows everything, you should set off quickly, otherwise you won't get there before dark."
Only then did Xie Jiaojiao get on the carriage.
Only when the carriage was out of sight did Sun Ruhua turn back, wipe her tears, and go back into the house.
They did not inform Manager Wang in advance when they came back this time. As soon as he saw them coming back, Manager Wang quickly asked people to clean up the house and asked the kitchen to prepare meals.
Xie Jiaojiao felt a little tired, so she took a rest for a while.
While eating, Steward Wang came over and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "If the young lady hadn't come, I would have written you a letter!"
"Did something happen to Jiang Huaian again?"
