Chapter 7: The Wife

The news of Jiang Yucheng's bereavement has been heard in several nearby villages, and I have heard Leng Jiaojiao's last words, and everyone who has a daughter in the family wants to marry the Jiang family. After all, Jiang Yucheng became famous at a young age, and the husbands who taught him said that he had a bright future, and if he married his daughter, wouldn't the future official become his son-in-law.

Jiang Yucheng became a sweetheart after losing his wife, and the Jiang family successively had matchmakers come to the door, but they were all sent away by Jiang Yucheng, he told Guo that he wanted to guard his deceased wife for three years, Guo couldn't resist him, so he had to go with him.

But for some reason, it was gradually rumored that Jiang Yucheng was his wife, and the reason why Leng Jiaojiao went at a young age was that Jiang Yucheng died of it.

Yan Niang, who was raising a baby at home, also heard about it, and she also knew that this statement was passed down from the Ling family. For no other reason, Wen's younger brother wanted to marry his daughter to Jiang Yucheng, but after the Jiang family refused, Wen's brother-in-law complained in front of Wen's.

It happened that there were a few women in the Ling family at that time, and one of the aunts surnamed Wu also beat Jiang Yucheng's idea, of course, it didn't work, so I counted Jiang Yucheng and Guo with Wen's brother and daughter-in-law, and the reputation of Jiang Yucheng's wife spread out.

"Sister Yan Niang, I think that Jiang Yucheng is a little unlucky, he was rumored to be like this for no reason." Haitang whispered to Yan Niang.

Yan Niang sighed, "The three of them become tigers, the more people talk about it, no matter whether you are that kind of person or not, in the end, you will become what they say." ”

Yan Niang deeply understands that when she had acne on her face, those women in the village who loved to say right and wrong always liked to help her publicize it outside. Over time, several nearby villages knew that she was fat and ugly, and even more excessively, some people said that she looked like Zhong Kui and could scare away evil spirits. Since then, she has barely stepped out of the hospital.

Knowing Yan Niang's past, Haitang was a little annoyed: "How can there be such a person who lacks morality." ”

She stared at Yan Niang's face carefully, and said, "Sister Yan Niang, the beauty is not in the bones, I think you must look good if you lose weight." ”

Yan Niang was still a little embarrassed to hear her say this, and said with a smile: "Where did you hear this crooked reasoning?" ”

Haitang Zhengse said: "Sister Yan Niang, I'm not a crooked reason, this is what my father said." ”

"Your father?"

"Well, my father is a well-known doctor in our country, and many dignitaries come to him for medical treatment. My father said that whether a person's appearance is good or not is determined by the bone physiognomy, although I am not as capable as my father, but I have also understood some since I was a child. ”

Yan Niang couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she saw what she said: "Since your father is so famous, why don't you go back to him?" "Why sell yourself?

As soon as he heard this, Begonia suddenly fell silent, and his face turned a little pale. Seeing her like this, Yan Niang hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't say it, I'll just ask casually." ”

Haitang said: "Sister Yan Niang, it's not that I don't tell you, I just have a last resort, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely tell you my secret." ”

Yan Niang nodded.

In May, Yan Niang's belly gradually became pregnant, but she was fat, and she couldn't see that she was pregnant if she didn't look carefully.

After she became pregnant, she was very afraid of heat and did not like to stay in the house, so she sat with Begonia under the apricot tree in the yard and made clothes for the unborn child. As soon as she brought out the needlework that day, Ling Jiming came back, followed by a thin young man.

Seeing her, Ling Jiming said with a straight face: "If you have to go back to the house and do it, don't be an eyesore here." ”

Yan Niang was accustomed to his scolding, and she moved the basket back.

Ling Jiming saw that she was quite obedient, and his face looked much better, he turned to Jiang Yucheng and said, "The inner son is unbearable, so Brother Jiang smiled." ”

Jiang Yucheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Before following Ling Jiming into the house, he glanced at Yan Niang's back, thinking about Ling Jiming's attitude towards her, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for her.

Yan Niang didn't know that the stranger she met had sympathy for her, she was now with a heart on her stomach, just now she clearly felt that the child was moving, this was the first time since she was pregnant. She really wanted to find someone to share her joy at the moment, but Haitang followed Wen out, and Ling Sanniang was not at home. There was only Ling Jiming's guests at home, and she didn't want to go to her husband.

Ling Jiming didn't stay at home for long, he and Jiang Yucheng came back to pick up things, and left again immediately after picking up things. So except for Yan Niang, no one in the Ling family knew that he had come back.

When it was almost noon, Ling Sanniang came back crying, Yan Niang was startled, and hurriedly asked her what happened. Ling Sanniang only knew how to cry, and refused to say what was wrong with her.

Seeing this, Yan Niang had no choice but to make her a glass of sugar water, and Ling Sanniang's mood slowly eased after drinking it.

"Second sister-in-law, I will never go to my eldest sister's house again." She sobbed and said, "The Jin family is too much, and I didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, but Jin Erlang's cousin came to scold me, saying that I was shameless to seduce her cousin." ”

The more Ling Sanniang spoke, the more angry she became, "If it weren't for Jin Erlang's cousin scolding me, I wouldn't have known that the eldest sister was going to marry me to the Jin family." ”

Hearing this, Yan Niang was stunned, these days the Wen family always took Ling Sanniang to Ling Yuanniang's house to live, it turned out to be to say goodbye to Ling Sanniang. But this is too anxious, the sister-in-law is only thirteen years old, even if she waits for another two years.

She comforted Ling Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, don't cry yet, let's wait for my mother-in-law to come back." ”

After all, she has no say in this family and can't meddle in these things.

It didn't take long for Wen to come back with Begonia, and Ling Sanniang immediately told her mother that she had been scolded, and the angry Wen scolded Jin Erlang's cousin, scolding and scolding that even the eldest daughter Ling Yuanniang was also angry.

Seeing that she was angry, Yan Niang took Begonia and hid in the stove room.

"Sister Yan Niang, is there anything uncomfortable today?" Begonia looked at her stomach with concern.

Yan Niang shook her head, and whispered to her again: "There is nothing uncomfortable, but the child seems to have moved before." ”

Begonia's eyes lit up, "Really? She recalled the medical books she had read before in her mind, and said, "This is fetal movement, and fetal movement means that the fetus is very healthy." ”

Yan Niang was also very happy to hear this, but she was quickly replaced by worry, "I'm still a little scared, I'm afraid that the child will follow me in the future, if it's a boy, it's fine, if it's a girl, maybe someone will make fun of and dislike it again." ”

Haitang grabbed her hand and steady: "Sister Yan Niang, you must not think like this, you were not born like this, you can relax, the child in your belly will look good whether it is male or female." Also, this pregnant woman must not think nonsense, otherwise it will affect the child. ”

Hearing this, Yan Niang had no choice but to put aside her worries for the time being, she looked down at her belly, and silently prayed in her heart that this child would look like Ling Jiming in the future.

Except for Ling Sanniang's affairs, the Ling family has been calm recently. Ling Sanniang has refused to go to her since she ran back from her sister's house crying. Later, Jin Erlang's mother took Jin cousin to Ling's house to apologize in person, Wen wanted to make her daughter and Jin Erlang a pair, but Jin's mother diverted the topic, Wen saw that the Jin family and the Ling family had no intention of getting married, and immediately became angry, and finally the two broke up unhappily.

After Jin's mother left, Wen was upset when she saw everyone, and Yan Niang was already very careful to avoid her, but she was still scolded a few times by her for finding the wrong place, and she didn't care that her daughter-in-law was pregnant. Begonia was upset for Yan Niang, but Yan Niang persuaded her not to talk back to the Wen family, after all, in the Ling family, the Wen family is the master of the house, and Haitang is just a maid who has signed a deed of sale.

After being married for almost a year, Wen's temper Yan Niang has already learned that if she doesn't like someone, no matter how capable that person is, she can pick out the bones from the eggs, such as her. On the contrary, if it is the person she loves, even if there is a big mistake, it is a small matter, such as her son Ling Jiming.

Since the last time she was beaten and scolded by her for no reason, Yan Niang no longer has the slightest respect for her, all she can do is to look at her as an elder, and not to confront her, but she is unwilling to be as considerate and submissive as before.

Haitang listened to Yan Niang's words the most, and when she saw that she didn't care, she secretly complained a few words in private, and she would never show it on her face. Sometimes Ling Sanniang would complain about Wen's partiality in front of Yan Niang, and Haitang would never participate when she heard it.

As the days passed, Yan Niang's belly became bigger and bigger, and then her hands and feet began to swell, she was already fat, as the child grew up, the whole person became round, looking like she was going to tear her clothes, and she had to be supported when she walked, otherwise it would be difficult to take a step.

Seeing her like this, the Wen family didn't even have the mood to scold her, after all, Yan Niang was pregnant with their Ling family's seed in her belly, and for the safety of her own grandson, she asked Haitang to go to the town to invite Dr. Liu from Anhetang.

Dr. Liu is a well-known gynecological saint in Lingjiang Town, and he has seen many women who have become fat due to pregnancy on weekdays, but it is the first time that Yan Niang is so fat and scary.

He first checked Yan Niang's pulse, and after taking the pulse, he turned his head to Wen and said, "Your daughter-in-law has a very healthy child in her belly." ”

Wen was overjoyed when he heard this, but he heard him say again: "But my lord is a little bad, I will write a prescription later, you can choose medicine according to the prescription, and you can eat three pairs." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to write the prescription, Wen asked with some concern: "Doctor Liu, will taking this medicine harm my grandson?" ”

Dr. Liu didn't raise his head, and spit out two words stiffly: "No." ”

In his opinion, Wen asked this because he didn't believe in his medical skills, so he naturally didn't have a good tone towards Wen.

Wen had no choice but to shut up.

After Dr. Liu prescribed the medicine, he instructed Yan Niang: "From today on, your diet for every meal should be halved, eat as little pasta, especially steamed buns, as little as possible, control the fatty meat, don't fry too much oil and water, eat less starch snacks, and eat more vegetables such as radish greens." ”

Yan Niang nodded hurriedly.

Haitang interjected on the side and asked, "Doctor Liu, is there any way to soothe the swollen hands and feet?" ”

Dr. Liu thought for a while and said, "Eat a light diet, don't sit and lie down for a long time, you can walk more every day and move your muscles and bones." ”

Hearing this, Haitang hurriedly responded, but thought in her heart that this doctor still seems to have two brushes, when her mother was pregnant with her little brother, there was also a situation of swollen hands and feet, and her father also dealt with it like this.

After Dr. Liu saw the consultation, Haitang followed him to the town to pick up medicine, Wen glanced at his daughter-in-law, and muttered a few words in a strange manner. Although Yan Niang didn't hear what she was saying, she knew that it was nothing more than scolding her for being a maid and pregnant for being more delicate than the lady in the palace.

After Wen finished scolding and left, Yan Niang gently stroked her belly, and the little guy in her stomach suddenly kicked her, and a small footprint appeared on her belly, what a naughty child, Yan Niang thought with a smile.

Dr. Liu's medical skills are good, after drinking a few pairs of medicines, Yan Niang's mental state has improved a lot, coupled with the control of food intake, Yan Niang has a circle, although she is still fat, but it is finally not so scary.
