1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 647 Always Be Cautious

In Willow Tree Village, Xia Qiu, heavily pregnant, returned to her parents' home accompanied by Qiu Shaofeng: "Mom, how are you feeling?"

"Why are you here?"

"I was worried about your health, so I wanted to come back and see you."

Zhao Lamei felt a little embarrassed in front of her daughter and son-in-law. After all, her daughter was going to become a mother in a while, and she herself was pregnant at this time. It was really embarrassing.

But she really wanted to keep the baby in her belly, because she desperately wanted a son.

Before, there was no hope left, so there was no room for wishful thinking.

I never dreamed that after all these years, I would be pregnant: "You're all pregnant, so don't worry about me. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

As she spoke, she looked up at her son-in-law and said, "You can't let her have her way. Her body is getting heavier and heavier. If something happens to her, you'll regret it."

Qiu Shaofeng knew his mother-in-law meant well: "Mom, I know. We didn't cross the mountain this time; we came by oxcart."

Zhao Lamei was somewhat skeptical: "Although the work in the fields is coming to an end these past few days, there's still a lot of work to be done. Where would you find an oxcart to give you a ride?"

Qiu Shaofeng quickly explained, "It's the Wu family from our team. Their youngest daughter was born, and their son-in-law drove a donkey cart early this morning to deliver the good news. We hitched a ride with him."

"The Wu family from Gejiazhuang?"

"Yes."

"What did you give birth to?"

"I heard it was a son this time."

"They can even drive a donkey to deliver the good news, so it must be because they had a son. They didn't get this treatment when they had two daughters."

Qiu Shaofeng stayed inside for a while before going out to help chop firewood. Zhao Lamei pulled her eldest daughter to sit down: "How is your sister-in-law doing now?"

"My morning sickness was really bad, and it happened to coincide with the autumn harvest, so it was quite a hard time."

Looking at her daughter's big belly: "Now that you're both pregnant, what's your mother-in-law's plan?"

"My sister-in-law had severe morning sickness and couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil, so neither of us went to work during this period. I stayed home and helped with the cooking."

Although I shouldn't stir up trouble, I still have to remind my daughter: "Be more careful in everything you do."

Xia Qiu didn't understand at first and was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Zhao Lamei said, "It's not that I think all people are bad, it's just a reminder to be more careful. After all, you're pregnant now. If you don't take care of yourself, others certainly won't care about you either."

Xia Qiu understood now: "Mom, I know."

Actually, she knew that her sister-in-law probably didn't have as severe morning sickness as she claimed; she just happened to have a ready-made excuse.

She hadn't intended to take on all the cooking duties, but during the autumn harvest, she didn't want to put her mother-in-law in a difficult position, nor did she want her husband to go hungry, and she didn't want the eldest branch of the family to laugh at her, so she had kept quiet.

The autumn harvest is almost over, and things won't continue like this forever. Given her mother's experience, she won't just silently work like a hard-working ox.

As soon as Fu's mother arrived home from the hospital, she heard her third daughter-in-law gesturing: "When I heard this, I naturally couldn't agree, so I immediately told that person about my fourth son's partner's workplace."

"Such a big thing, you should at least tell us so we can discuss it."

“Sister-in-law, the fourth brother is already engaged, and we couldn’t contact his parents at the time. It wouldn’t be right for us, as his sisters-in-law, to go and serve him. It would be more appropriate for his fiancé to go.”

"Aren't you afraid that your parents will be unhappy when they come back, and that they'll blame us for this?"
