After three years of marriage, she didn't go home? 70's Jiaojiao wants a divorce

Chapter 278: Contribute Money and Effort
The Jiang family did not spread the news of Shen Qingqing's pregnancy.

"It's best if we keep this to ourselves, so that no one will ask us any questions and cause us trouble," said Jiang's mother.

Moreover, she was also afraid that someone might be jealous and have bad intentions.

Like that person... Yang Fen.

I've hurt Zhixun once before.

Moreover, she was jealous of Qingqing, and every time they met, she would act rudely and hostile.

Now that Qingqing is pregnant before her, she'll definitely be envious.

Yang Fen is becoming increasingly unreliable, and Jiang's mother is genuinely afraid that she might act impulsively and do something frightening.

It's better to keep a low profile.

He thought to himself, "Luckily, Yang Fen is married and I only see her a few times a year."

Otherwise, it would be quite a headache.

Jiang Zhixun raised an eyebrow and teased, "After waiting so long for your grandchildren, I thought you were going to grab a megaphone and shout it out so everyone would know."

This earned him a glare from Jiang's mother.

Is it because she doesn't want to show off?
The better something is, the more low-key it should be.

It's not too late to show off after the baby is born!
She glared at her son with annoyance and put a piece of cabbage into his bowl.

"All you do all day is chatter on and on, even food can't shut you up!"

Jiang Zhixun calmly put the food in his mouth and said, "I just wanted to show off, thinking you thought the same thing."

Once he returns to his unit, he'll have to have a good talk with his comrades.

He's not only a married man now, he's about to become a father!

Shen Qingqing was both amused and exasperated. "Others have already become fathers, I'm not envious of you at all."

There are people who marry late, but it's rare to find someone like Jiang Zhixun who gets married at the age of thirty-three.

He is 34 years old and about to have his first child, which puts him far behind.

Jiang Zhixun served Shen Qingqing a piece of steamed fish, choosing the boneless part.

He said, "I don't care if they envy me or not, I'm going to say it anyway."

He glanced at Shen Qingqing's stomach out of the corner of his eye.

Their child is inside; in a few months, tiny hands and feet will develop.

They might even eavesdrop on their conversations.

This feeling is wonderful.

Perhaps it's because he's about to become a father, but Jiang Zhixun's demeanor has changed a bit.

When he looked at Shen Qingqing, his eyes seemed...kind?
Shen Qingqing felt uneasy under his gaze. "Can't you be normal for once?"

"I'm looking after the child."

Shen Qingqing was speechless. "Do you have X-ray vision or something?"

Jiang Zhixun: "I have a telepathic connection with it."

Shen Qingqing: "..."

They look so silly, it's unbearable to look at.

Shen Qingqing ignored Jiang Zhixun and focused on eating.

She had morning sickness during the day and vomited once, so the fried small fish were not served.

While others found the aroma pleasant, Shen Qingqing, being a pregnant woman, was suffering terribly.

Jiang's mother was initially a little worried, fearing that she wouldn't even be able to eat steamed fish.

Seeing that she had eaten the fish without showing any discomfort, I finally felt relieved.

"Only when you can eat can you get enough nutrition."

Shen Qingqing agreed, "Eating something light should be fine."

She still has to go to work, so she can't go without eating.

Jiang's mother said, "I hope the child will behave and not bother you. When I was pregnant with Zhixun, he was quite a handful. Luckily, I wasn't working, otherwise my work would have been affected."

Shen Qingqing touched her belly, "It's still early, who knows who it will resemble."

Jiang Zhixun was given a half-smile by his wife. He said, "It's disobedient. I'll scold it when I get back."

Children are important, but they can't outweigh my wife.

If it becomes too disruptive, it should be criticized.

Shen Qingqing scolded him, "The baby is still just an embryo, and you're already thinking about cursing. Is this how a father should act?"

Jiang Zhixun: "It's incredibly powerful; it made you vomit even when it was just a tiny embryo." Who knows what will happen when it grows bigger.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Zhixun started to worry again.

He silently prayed that the child would behave and not cause trouble for his wife.

If you really want to cause trouble, wait until the baby is born and he's at home before you start causing trouble.

He'd be happy to endure any chaos for his wife and children.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble for his wife, everything is fine.

The old man had caught some fish, intending to share them with his family, but his granddaughter-in-law couldn't eat them.

But the thought of a new baby coming into the family made the old man extremely happy, and he no longer cared about the fish.

He said, "Pay close attention to the situation regularly. If your body can't keep up, tell your supervisor. Don't push yourself."

Shen Qingqing nodded, "I know what I'm doing and I won't force myself, so don't worry."

Work is important, but health is the foundation of everything.

Given her current situation, she can only do what she can.

If you try to be tough, you might cause trouble for others and delay the teaching progress.

In case of a real emergency, the school will arrange for a substitute teacher to cover the class.

Shen Qingqing is a reliable person, so her family doesn't have to worry about her much. Their only concern is that she might not be able to handle emergencies while she's pregnant.

Her decision to go home reassured them to a great extent.

Others have already said what needed to be said.

Jiang's father didn't say much, he just gave Shen Qingqing a sum of money and told her to spend it as she pleased.

Shen Qingqing was already working, so she felt embarrassed to use her elders' money.

Absolutely not.

Jiang Zhixun stretched out his long arm and accepted it for her, saying, "This is a token of our parents' love. Don't be polite with them. Raising children is hard work."

Shen Qingqing gave him a long, quiet look.

This person has a really thick skin.

It was rare for Jiang's father to praise Jiang Zhixun, "He's right. Raising children is hard work. From now on, you'll have to worry about them endlessly. Your mother and I can't do much. We'll just lend a hand when you need us. Otherwise, it's up to you and Zhixun."

Shen Qingqing: "You've contributed both money and effort; it's not just a simple matter of lending a hand. You've practically taken care of everything!"

After the baby is born, the mother-in-law will have to help them take care of the child.

Taking care of children is not easy; you have to pay attention to their physical condition and prevent them from getting bumps and bruises.

Anyway, Shen Qingqing felt that this was a tiring job.

If the child is well-behaved, the caregiver will suffer less.

Otherwise, even taking care of just one child can be exhausting, both physically and mentally.

Whoever takes care of the child suffers.

This is no joke.

When her mother-in-law offered to help them take care of the baby, Shen Qingqing felt that the elders had really made a lot of sacrifices.

What's more, they've already given money...

Jiang's mother told Shen Qingqing to accept the money generously, "We can't help you right now, and you've suffered all the hardship by yourself. While you're still not showing your pregnancy and can move around easily, pick some time to go shopping and buy some new clothes."

Jiang Zhixun nodded, "It's time to buy new ones."

Once my wife gets pregnant, she won't be able to wear many of her clothes anymore.

You have to prepare in advance.

In the past, Shen Qingqing would wash the dishes and clean the house after meals.

Now Jiang's mother won't let her do anything.

“Zhi Xun rarely comes home, so let him do all these chores. Since he’s not home, I’ll do them. Your most important task right now is to take care of your pregnancy; you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Shen Qingqing felt embarrassed. "I'm perfectly healthy, everything's normal. If I don't do anything, won't I just rust?"

"Then go for a walk outside to aid digestion and get some exercise."

Jiang's mother told Jiang Zhixun to work hard, and then accompanied Shen Qingqing out for a walk.

Many of the people living in the compound have keen eyesight.

Even if the Jiang family didn't say anything, judging from Shen Qingqing and Jiang's mother's cautious demeanor, it was clear that their family was about to have a new member.

Jiang Zhixun is thirty-four years old this year, and Shen Qingqing is almost thirty.

Having children is a normal thing.
