"Old Jiang, go and fetch that jar of pickled cabbage from the cellar corner. I pickled it this year, and it’s just perfect now. Also bring out those fresh pears and dried apricots I made in the sumr. Xiao Xiao will definitely like them now."
Fan Xiuying suspected her daughter was having cravings.
Jiang answered honestly and hurried out to take care of it.
Indeed, his wife had cravings back then; she liked these.
He moved the ladder down to the cellar.
Jiang Lei ca in from outside, supporting grandma, grandpa, uncle Fan Jianguo, and a strange young girl.
He just saw his dad moving a ladder.
Curiously asked, "Dad, what are you doing moving a ladder during the big New Year? If you need sothing, let do it. Climbing up and down isn’t good for you."
Fan Jianguo was also puzzled about what his brother-in-law was rushing to do.
"No need! I’ll do it. Xiao Xiao has a baby and is having cravings! I’m looking for sothing for her to eat. You don’t know what these things are, go aside."
Jiang Lei was stunned in disbelief.
His sister is pregnant!
Mrs. Fan and Mr. Fan heard this and were overjoyed.
The old couple brushed past Fang Xiaohui, who was supported by Song Mohuan, and headed straight into the house.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, grandma has co to see you."
Their attention didn’t even glance at Fang Xiaohui.
Annoying Fang Xiaohui, she knitted her brows.
This family must be crazy.
It’s just having a child; who hasn’t had kids?
She’s also pregnant, why doesn’t anyone care about her?
Fan Jianguo clapped his hands, "Wow, I’m going to be an uncle! Chengyu, co on in, you’re really lucky, catching our family’s joyful event, now it’s truly a double delight."
ng Chengyu smiled gently, who cares about double delight.
She’s here to et her boyfriend’s parents for the first ti, initially thinking Fan Jianguo was the youngest son in the family and a supply and distribution section manager at the departnt store, so the family conditions must be different.
Who knew she’d be whisked away by the elderly couple to et so big sister’s family before she even settled down.
et them if she must, it’s still eting the family.
A sister and brother-in-law should also be t.
But she ended up being just a sidekick.
Feeling very uncomfortable inside.
Especially since Fan Jianguo looked so proud to be part of the event!
It made ng Chengyu’s stomach ache with frustration.
She thought she might beco the treasure in Fan Jianguo’s heart, but turned out, not even married yet, she realized she’s not even as valued as their niece.
Fan Jianguo hadn’t noticed ng Chengyu’s discomfort, happily pulling her into the house.
Fang Xiaohui and Song Mohuan followed inside.
Song Moting was also inside; his wife started vomiting again, and he was worried. It’s not even a month, and his wife is already this sick. There’s still nine months to go.
This life is unbearable.
Child, aren’t you supposed to be the little cotton jacket of your parents?
Why are you tornting your mom like this!
Watch out; when you’re out, Dad will spank your butt.
Song Moting gazed resentfully at Jiang Xiaoxiao’s belly.
The whole family surrounded Jiang Xiaoxiao, asking if she’s warm or cold.
Fang Xiaohui couldn’t take it, "Mom, I’m feeling tight in my chest, threw up and still felt unwell, perhaps we should go ho first."
She couldn’t directly ntion she was also pregnant; that would be blatant rivalry.
She was waiting for Fan Xiuying to ask.
Fan Xiuying didn’t lift her head, continuing to talk to Jiang Xiaoxiao about pregnancy taboos.
"Not feeling well! Then eat before you go, or go lie down in your sister’s room for a while."
Jiang Yue laughed and said, "Co! I’ll take you to rest for a while."
She had to cook, her sister had cravings, needing to make sothing light. She and Jiang Xiaoxiao had been in the county town for a while and definitely knew Jiang Xiaoxiao’s taste.
She had to take action.
Thinking about that bowl of stead at, it wouldn’t do, too greasy, and has a sll.
Pregnant won particularly hate that at sll.
Not to ntion, when she was pregnant, she ate anything without restriction; no one cared for her.
All she could think of now was to make sothing tasty for her sister.
Fang Xiaohui fud, wanting to snap, is that what she ant?
"Big sister! I’m okay, I’m just..."
Song Mohuan saved the day, "Big sister, no worries, Xiao Hui is pregnant too, and can’t stand the sll!"
Jiang Yue nodded, "Alright, you two go to my room to sit for a while, otherwise the sll in this room will continue to make you uncomfortable."
Jiang Yue thought Fan Xiuying already knew.
Just now, Fan Xiuying and Fang Xiaohui had been sitting in the room together.
How could it not be ntioned?
This beautiful misunderstanding lasted until after dinner, when Fan Xiuying and Jiang didn’t ask Fang Xiaohui a single question from start to finish.
They even sent the couple back early, though with carefully wrapped boxes of pastries and canned goods.
Fang Xiaohui felt stifled inside.
Everyone treated Jiang Xiaoxiao as treasure, while she was just grass.
Even her own parents were like that.
She didn’t forget the red envelopes Fan Xiuying gave to Jiang Xiaoxiao and those from grandma and grandpa.
That little brat Nuonuo was ignorant, insisting on snatching the red envelopes to play, pulling out a total of seven or eight ten yuan bills from inside.
Still brand new.
What about her own red envelope?
Dark with only three ten yuan bills, made even Song Mohuan’s face turn sour.
This was a blatant disregard.
Intentionally making her lose face in her in-laws’ families.
Song Mohuan didn’t even escort her ho, departing halfway.
Fang Xiaohui clearly knew Song Mohuan was frustrated.
Fang Xiaohui thought bitterly, Jiang Xiaoxiao just you wait.
Let her continue to prance around; she still had big legs to back her up.
Fang Xiaohui didn’t even return to her in-law’s ho.
She carried the items to a small building.
The security guard at the door stopped Fang Xiaohui.
"What are you doing?"
"I ca to see Mr. Wang and brought special dicine."
Recently, Fang Xiaohui delved into ways to proceed in her situation: because of Song Moting, both she and Song Mohuan were awkward among the Song family.
Her position in her husband’s family worsened day by day.
Continued like this, the Song family would eventually abandon her.
But at this mont, she had to fight for the greatest vested interests for herself.
She sorted through many events and people from her past life.
Rembered this influential figure.
In her last life, she saw this old man from afar, heard he had old cold legs, walking with difficulty for years.
But Mr. Wang held unparalleled status, a single sentence could annihilate a family.
Such power wasn’t sothing just anyone possessed.
Mr. Wang, due to his camaraderie with the Wu family, had always looked down on the Song family.
She rembered that the Song family would be ridiculed due to Mr. Wang’s remarks at a banquet, then gradually decline.
Yet in this life, if she could gain Mr. Wang’s favor, reversing the Song family’s fortune.
Old Sir Song, Old Mrs. Song, even her father and mother-in-law, would look at her differently.
She consulted an old traditional Chinese dicine doctor she knew, the most renowned in Jingbei, specializing in treating cold legs.
If the old master’s leg improved, his impression of her would also change.
She deliberately chose this timing because she knew the old man’s children had cut ties with him.
But now they regretted it, wanting to nd relations, and were often disturbing the old man.
This was her sole opportunity to engage Mr. Wang.
She dared to make the trip.
Not just for the Song family, but for herself.
With Mr. Wang’s backing, her status would soar.
Why endure the hospital’s grind then?
Mrs. Song thought little of her; but this ti, she’d make Mrs. Song realize her daughter-in-law was not to be disturbed.
