Chapter 19: Pregnancy
"What are you doing!" Wu Guangping's hoarse voice erupted through the earpiece.
Wu Bei looked at a pile of materials and editing strips on the computer desktop, and replied succinctly: "Watch TV." ”
"Have you been in contact with your mother recently?" Wu Guangping asked again.
Wu Bei took two deep breaths, suppressed the caustic words that were stuck in her throat, and tried to keep her tone calm, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"I asked if you had any contact with your mother!" Wu Guangping was obviously very dissatisfied with her attitude, and strengthened his tone, sounding a little angry.
Wu Bei has always eaten soft rather than hard, Wu Guangping has been her father for more than 20 years, and she never seems to have discovered this.
He has always been a very selfish and selfish person, usually Wu Bei silently looked in his eyes, although he was awkward, but he would not take the initiative to have any disputes with him, and he asked Wu Bei to persuade Chen Junmei to remarry him, in the process of prevarication, Wu Bei once couldn't hold back, and said the grievances and accusations that had been backlogged in his heart for many years, but the other party actually either denied it, or digressed from the topic in a few words, but also shaped her into an unreasonable party.
Since then, no matter whether the superficial relationship is passable or not, Wu Bei has a very resistant psychology to communicating with Wu Guangping.
She can tolerate Wu Guangping's laziness and slamming of money, and she can also blame many of his unspeakable problems in his thinking on the creation of the times and environment, but she can't accept that the other party reverses black and white, treats her as a fool, and treats the injuries she has suffered as not worth mentioning.
Wu Guangping will never really realize what is wrong with him, he may occasionally show weakness, pretend to be pitiful, and pretend to talk to you with his heart, but he will always talk to you with chickens and ducks, and in a few minutes, he will reveal his true purpose, and except for his own purpose, he will not listen to all outside opinions that deviate from his mind, nor will he sincerely reflect on anything.
This is the conclusion that she has spent more than 20 years observing and experiencing, so when Wu Guangping mentioned Chen Junmei this time, Wu Bei's first reaction was that he had some kind of thoughts about people, wanting to find out news from her or ask her to help do something.
In addition, Wu Guangping's tone rushed, and she immediately couldn't control her anger, and roared in a strange tone: "How can I not have contact with my mother!
Wu Guangping's head suddenly fell silent, and for a long time, neither of them spoke again.
Wu Bei seemed to be blocked by a stone, and her breathing was dull. It's always like this, she thinks, she and Wu Guangping may be born with a discord, although she will inevitably encounter all kinds of angry and depressed bad things in her daily life, but most of them come and go quickly, only Wu Guangping can easily make her emotional explode for a long time.
She really didn't want to do that, she didn't want to make herself look like a grumpy neurotic, but she couldn't control it.
Even if she thinks about it now, the words she blurted out were still tingy with ice, "It's okay, I'm hanging!
Wu Guangping didn't wait for her to finish, he took the lead and viciously cut off the phone.
Wu Bei scolded in a low voice, and then smashed the phone on the bed in anger, but within a few minutes, the ringtone rang again.
This time it was Wu Bei's aunt who called, that is, Wu Guangping's eldest sister.
I heard that Wu Bei's grandfather's generation used to be a landlord, I don't know if it is because of this reason, this family seems to have a little old shadow of feudal remnants, Wu Guangping is not very good at things and has a bad temper, he always thinks that he is still the eldest young master of the landlord's family, but he is old, and the young master's temper can only play at home, and he also played his wife away, and he has not asked for a new one until now.
The only person who eats his set is his sister, his sister is a standard brother-protecting maniac, even if Wu Guangping scolds her face to face when her temper comes up, she never gets angry or holds a grudge, at most she purses her lips and stares at each other silently with accusatory eyes to express her sadness.
When the matter passed, she still held her younger brother like a baby, and she was also an important member of the "Persuasion Army" back then. This is also placed in the era of peace, if you go back to the war years, a person like my aunt will definitely be a loyal guard, Wu Guangping will do whatever he says, and where to fight.
Wu Bei didn't hate her aunt very much, but she hated that the other party contacted her, when the relatives made such an ugly fuss, in addition to the New Year's holidays, birth, old age, sickness and death and other major events, what is the need to contact? And every time I think of her bitter and hateful worrying appearance, I feel sour, if the aunt is young and beautiful, she can directly cross into the Qiong Yao drama as a bitter heroine.
The aunt and Wu Guangping called, and they wanted to pass the word for him, but Wu Bei deliberately didn't answer, and hung up the phone naturally. A few seconds later, another text message came.
Wu Bei couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw it.
"Beibei, is your mother pregnant?"
She hadn't met Chen Junmei for nearly a month, but she would make a phone call every three days, and the other party had never mentioned pregnancy, but after Wu Bei was surprised, she didn't have any doubts about the authenticity of this sentence.
Although the other party uses a question sentence, if this kind of thing is generally not very sure, who will come over to ask?
Chen Junmei is actually pregnant? She was surprised or stunned, and she didn't have any extra thoughts, and she didn't think about anything else, so she just planned to make a phone call to confirm with Chen Junmei first.
At this time, the aunt's second text message came.
"Your mother is so old, it is not safe to have a child herself, besides, how high is the cost of raising a child now, we are not a wealthy family, this has been raised since childhood for more than 20 years until graduating from college, how to say that most of the savings have to be spent, and when you get married in two years, how much money can your mother pay to help you buy a car and a house? You have to think about whether you want your mother to have this child or not. ”
Wu Bei sneered at the screen, it is true that what she said was actually objective problems, if a friend said these things to her today, she would definitely feel that the other party was for her own good, but thinking that these questions were conveyed on behalf of Wu Guangping, and related to Wu Guangping's usual style, she couldn't help but have a lot of dark guesses.
Wu Guangping used to pay her some tuition fees as if she had a deflated stomach and had a difficult birth, and he should have saved a lot of private money over the years, he was worried that Chen Junmei would not be able to contribute much to Wu Bei's house and car in the future, and in essence, he was actually afraid that the money would come to him when the time came, right? Besides, since he was a child, he has hardly taken care of Wu Bei, how can he be embarrassed to accuse others of not taking care of her because of having a child?
As early as when the two of them just divorced, Wu Bei had already thought very clearly that whether the two of them remarried and had children in the future, it was their own choice, and she would not interfere.
As for buying a house and a car, she didn't plan to ask anyone for money, so she didn't buy it if it was a big deal, and didn't she always ask a girl if she wanted to marry naked?
This obsession with not asking others for money is also reflected in the New Year's holidays, there are elders who want to celebrate and send a red envelope of three or five hundred, of course, it is not a gnawing of the old, but she does not accept it, she wants to maintain complete economic independence, otherwise when she disagrees with the elders, she will always be embarrassed to refute and argue because she has received money from others. After becoming financially independent, no matter how poor she is, she feels that her waist at home is straighter.
Wu Bei was too lazy to say more to her aunt, and after two hours, she replied nonchalantly: "I will discuss this matter with my mother, you don't have to worry about it." ”
However, there is one thing that my aunt reminded her that Chen Junmei is forty-nine years old this year, a proper advanced maternal age, pregnancy for ten months and subsequent confinement of childbirth, the consumption of the body is too great, and the risk factor is also high, even if the problem of raising is not considered, from this point alone, she does not agree with her mother giving birth to this child.
Wu Bei didn't call Chen Junmei to verify in the end, but went home directly after the wait was over.
Before going home, Wu Bei originally felt that there was no need to say anything about this matter, to put it bluntly, giving birth to a child and raising a child, the most suffering and sinful person was not the pregnant woman herself? Besides, Chen Junmei now has a husband and a daughter, and her parents are also alive, so she doesn't need to get any emotional comfort or sustenance from the newborn, maybe she herself has to give birth, but she didn't expect her mother's thoughts to be completely different from herself.
The day she went home was just in time for the weekend, and she made a phone call before she went, and learned that Chen Junmei and his wife, as well as his uncle and aunt, would go over for dinner in the evening, so she specially picked an afternoon time, around three o'clock, when the army had not yet arrived, and her grandfather had already taken a nap.
As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I immediately received the sight of seven or eight Qi brushes, and I wondered if I was in the wrong place for a while.
Grandma said, "Beibei is back, find a place to sit." ”
Wu Bei responded, but she swept around, there was really no place for her to sit in the living room, Chen Junmei and her husband sat side by side on the small sofa, grandma and grandpa sat on the edge of the bed, and the rest of the uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles each occupied a small bench, basically filling the living room with a place to stay, and there were two plates of leftover egg foam and big stewed vegetables on the coffee table, it seems that these people may have been sitting around like this since lunch, otherwise they wouldn't have even bothered to clean up the plates.
Seeing that Wu Bei was standing still, her aunt beckoned to her, and made a gesture to get up and give way, "Come, Beibei, sit with me." ”
"No, no, you sit on yours, I'll do it. Wu Bei said as she rubbed on the armrest of the sofa and moved half of her buttocks.
The armrests of the wooden sofa are only a few inches wide, and there are various dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it, uneven, quite panicked, it is not as comfortable as standing here, but it is not convenient for her to stand up, and it is not good to have someone to sit for her.
Grandma asked, "Beibei, your mother is pregnant, do you know about this?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Junmei suddenly raised her head and looked at her in surprise, "How do you already know? I haven't told you yet." ”
"My aunt told me. ”
"Cut!" Chen Junmei burst out of the tip of her tongue with an accented tone that could show her attitude, and said annoyingly: "Their family members have long enough hands, and they can't wait to shake their long tongues everywhere, not afraid that one day Lei will be scorched." ”
