Chapter 5: I will have my grandson soon
It was already evening when Xu Muchuan left the house again. Shen Qingli was still asleep. He was thinking of bringing the meal into the house for her to eat so that she could fill her stomach before going to sleep.
Zhao Lanxia glared at her son who "couldn't control himself" and said, "Can Qingli's little body withstand your torture?!"
"..." He couldn't do anything about the young wife being too attractive. Xu Muchuan went straight to get a bowl of porridge, but Zhao Lanxia stopped him again, "Wait, there's also a bowl of egg custard."
Zhao Lanxia looked at her son's back as he left, thinking that she would have to slaughter a chicken tomorrow to feed Qingli some good nourishment.
Shen Qingli was sleeping soundly. Xu Muchuan couldn't bear to wake her up, but was worried that she was hungry, so he called her in a gentle voice, "Qingli?"
Shen Qingli uttered "Hmm?" in a daze.
"Eat first and then sleep." Xu Muchuan supported her back and helped her sit up. The corner of the quilt covering her body slid down, revealing ambiguous marks on her fair skin. The man's eyes were deep and his belly was slightly swollen. The next moment, he lifted the quilt to cover her.
Shen Qingli rubbed her sleepy eyes, but in fact her stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time. When she smelled the fragrance of the rice, she put her mouth directly to the bowl and took small sips of it.
"Sit tight, I'll feed you." Seeing this, Xu Muchuan simply took a spoon and fed her. After eating the egg custard, Shen Qingli was full and tilted her head to continue sleeping.
"Have some more porridge."
Shen Qingli shook her head, "I can't drink anymore."
"If you're hungry in the middle of the night, I'll heat it up for you." Xu Muchuan said in a deep voice.
Shen Qingli nodded confusedly. She just wanted to sleep now.
Xu Muchuan went out with the bowl in his hand, and Xu's father happened to come back after clearing the way. Zhao Lanxia asked what happened.
"The landslide is more than ten meters deep, and it will definitely not be cleared in a day or two." This road is the only route from the village to the county.
As Mr. Xu spoke, he took a big gulp of porridge. He finally felt a little better after feeling something in his stomach.
"Mom and Dad, who knocked on the door last night?" Xu Muchuan thought of the person who knocked on the door last night and asked him to go to the factory. He couldn't recognize whose voice it was.
"Who knocked on the door last night? All the guests had left before you entered the house." Zhao Lanxia asked in confusion, "Maybe I heard it wrong!"
He must have heard it right. What was the man's plan to trick him out with a bunch of lies? Xu Muchuan didn't mention it again. Since his parents didn't know, forget it.
"Hey? I remind you again, take it easy!" Zhao Lanxia saw him preparing to go back to the house and warned him unhappily, "If you really bully someone badly later, I'll see what you can do!"
"I know." Xu Muchuan said in a light voice and walked back to the house.
Father Xu glared, "What? Did he bully Qingli?" No wonder his daughter-in-law didn't come out to eat!
His face immediately pulled, "Call him back to me! He really needs to be taught a lesson!"
"I'm not talking about bullying." Zhao Lanxia saw that he was a stubborn person. He didn't understand even when I said it so clearly! He really had grown up in vain.
Father Xu came back to his senses after a while and laughed, "Looks like we're going to have a grandson soon~"
The smile on Zhao Lanxia's lips widened a little. Her son had a cold personality and had never had a boyfriend before marriage. She had once worried that he had problems in that aspect, but now it seemed that her worries were completely unnecessary!
"Hey? Kill that rooster before you go to bed! You need to nourish your daughter-in-law!"
Father Xu smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"..."
Shen Qingli did not sleep very well this time, especially in the second half of the night, when she dreamed of her previous life, when she was married to Song Housheng.
My father-in-law is a lazy man with a bad temper. He likes to lose his temper with family members when he has nothing to do. Everyone in the family has been slapped by him.
Her mother-in-law was fussy and calculating, and Shen Qingli had not had a single day of peace since her marriage.
Song Housheng has no future in raising pigs, and he stinks all day long. Shen Qingli has to wash him thoroughly to get rid of the smell.
It’s not that Shen Qingli has never thought about having her own children. Sometimes, when she just discusses it with Song Housheng, the man becomes extremely impatient.
He said: My children are your children. You say this because you don't accept them. If we have another child, can you guarantee that we will treat them equally? Shen Qingli later got pregnant unexpectedly, but she lost the baby because she was overworked and miscarried.
Shen Qingli was very uncomfortable at the time, and members of the Song family stood up and accused her of being incompetent and unable to even protect the child.
Later, I heard my mother-in-law mention the "lost child" to Song Housheng, "See! Fortunately, I didn't let her give birth to the child. Fortunately, I used some tricks and gave her medicine for several days, and she finally lost the child!"
Only then did Shen Qingli know the whole story.
It turned out that her child's death was not an accident at all, but was killed by her mother-in-law who gave her medicine.
Shen Qingli hated her mother-in-law, but before she could do so, her mother-in-law died.
She remembered clearly the cramping pain in her lower abdomen. It hurt so much.
"It hurts..." Shen Qingli sobbed. Her child was gone. Was the child in the same pain as she was?
"Qingli?" Xu Muchuan woke up when the little woman cried for the first time. He looked at her nervously and turned on the light in the room. Qingli's hair was wet, tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes, and she murmured "it hurts".
Xu Muchuan frowned and raised his voice a few notches, "Qingli, wake up? Tell me where it hurts?"
Shen Qingli suddenly woke up, looked at the man with tearful eyes, opened her arms and snuggled into his arms.
"Where does it hurt?" Xu Muchuan asked again in a gentle voice, "Tell me, if it hurts, let's go see a doctor."
"I had a nightmare." Shen Qingli pursed her lips. She could really feel the man's body temperature. She was reborn.
Thanks to her good sister.
"It's okay. Dreams are always the opposite." Xu Muchuan breathed a sigh of relief and patted Shen Qingli on the back. "I'm here."
"You are not allowed to go to the village entrance to clear the road these days. You stay at home with me."
"it is good."
"..."
Shen Qingli hugged the man tightly.
The next day, Shen Qingli's bowl still had two more eggs than others.
"Mom, I don't eat eggs." The strong laborers in the family are my father-in-law and Muchuan, so it should not be her turn to eat eggs.
There were two eggs in the bowl every day, and she felt embarrassed to eat them.
"Okay, let's have stewed chicken for lunch today." Zhao Lanxia smiled, "You like boiled chicken, or braised chicken? How about half boiled chicken and half braised chicken?"
"Braised." Shen Qingli said softly.
"Okay!" Zhao Lanxia nodded, "Let's braise it!"
*
Compared to the harmony of the Xu family, the Song family was in chaos early in the morning. The cause was that Song Dabao urinated on the bed and Shen Weiwei beat him in anger!
These slaps hit Ran Lijuan directly on the heart.
Normally, she would not bear to hit her precious grandson.
Shen Weiwei spanked pretty hard, look at this little butt, it’s all red.
"Wow grandma, my stepmother is a bad person. I don't like her. Let my dad divorce her!" Song Dabao cried, and his little appearance was as pitiful as it could be.
Shen Weiwei knew that he was pretending!
