At noon the next day, a piece of news spread rapidly in the courtyard-Jia Dongxu's wife was pregnant.
This morning, Jia Zhangshi accompanied her daughter-in-law to the hospital for a checkup. The results were very gratifying. Xu Mingying was indeed as she had guessed. She vomited last night because she was pregnant.
To people at this time, carrying on the family line was definitely one of the most important things.
As soon as Jia Zhang-shi returned to the courtyard, she couldn't help but go around looking for people to show off. Her face was full of spring breeze, and those who didn't know better would think that she had a second spring and found an old man to live with.
Chen Yong had just returned to the courtyard after work that night when he immediately heard the news.
Looking at the extremely proud Jia Dongxu in the middle court, watching him talk to those congratulatory people, Chen Yong suddenly remembered what Xu Damao told him last time, and couldn't help but sympathize with Jia Dongxu.
She was pregnant after only twenty days of marriage?
As a doctor, Chen Yong naturally understood that there was something fishy going on.
According to common medical knowledge, although a pregnant woman could be found out after ten days of pregnancy, that was a rare case. Usually, pregnant women would only be found out after five to seven days of pregnancy, usually 30 to 40 days.
According to Chen Yong's guess, the child in Xu Mingying's stomach was probably not Jia Dongxu's.
Jia Dongxu thought that the green-haired turtle didn't know what was going on. He really didn't know what kind of expression he would have when he found out the truth and thought about his smug look. Would he slap him twice?
As for helping the Jia family expose Xu Mingying?
Forget it, it had nothing to do with him.
Jia Dongxu was green in the head. Whether or not the child was his, Chen Yong had no mood to care, nor did he want to care. Putting aside the fact that he hated the Jia family, even if there was no such thing, why would an outsider like him care so much?
As the saying went, more gossip meant more food.
He had better live his own life and wait for Qin Huiru to marry him on the 18th.
Zhongyuanjia Family
By the time the congratulations left, it was dinner time for the Jia family. Unlike last night, Xu Mingying was found to be pregnant today. Jia Zhangshi was so happy that not only did she make dinner herself, but she also gritted her teeth and made a meal of white steamed buns.
"Here, wife. You have to eat more now.”
As soon as the steamed buns were served, Jia Dongxu took one and handed it to his wife.
Xu Mingying took the steamed bun and took a big bite in front of Jia Zhangshi with a smile on her face, as if she was deliberately provoking her.
Jia Zhang-shi was indeed angered by this scene. However, when she thought of the fact that the other party was pregnant with the Jia family's child, she couldn't say anything more. She could only suppress the discomfort in her heart and reach out to take a steamed bun to eat.
"Mom, there are only four steamed buns.”
Jia Dongxu took the basin of steamed buns away and brought another basin of cornbread to Jia Zhangshi.
"Dongxu, is this how you treat your mother?”Jia Zhang-shi couldn't believe it. She said angrily," You and your wife are eating steamed buns, but you have the heart to let me eat cornbread? How can you be so cruel to me?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?”Jia Dongxu said with conviction," There are only four steamed buns. Mingying needs to replenish her nutrition when she's pregnant. I have to eat something good even if I work to death every day. You don't have to do anything all day long, and you still say that I'm heartless?”
Hearing these words, Jia Zhangshi was speechless.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's angry yet helpless look, Xu Mingying felt a burst of joy in her heart.
After marrying into the Jia family for more than 20 days, Xu Mingying despised her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, ten thousand times. Previously, she even wanted to take advantage of her. If it wasn't for her strong personality, she would probably live in deep water in the future.
"Wife, come and eat!"
Jia Dongxu only had Xu Mingying in his eyes now. How could he care about his aggrieved mother?
"Yes, Dongxu, you eat too. You're the pillar of our family's income, so you have to eat your fill!”Xu Mingying said as she put some food into Jia Dongxu's bowl.
Jia Zhang-shi was so angry that her heart was trembling. She wanted to get angry but couldn't find a reason. She could only pick up a cornbread and take a big bite as an outlet for her emotions.
However, in Jia Dongxu's eyes, she seemed to make more sense. There were some things that his mother had gone too far, and he had to make her change.
He didn't say anything about eating more or working less.
The key was that she usually had to care about everything. That was simply too much.
Xu Mingying was a little harsh to him, but at least she knew how to care for him. Not only did she think for him in many things, but she also often protected his face in front of her mother.
With that thought, Jia Dongxu became more determined. He planned to hand over his salary to his wife in the future.
"Right, Dongxu, is today your payday?”
"Give the money to Mom, and Mom will save it for you!”
"It's almost the new year. There are many places in the family that need money during the new year. I'll give you three yuan for your living expenses this month.”Jia Zhang-shi was halfway through her meal when she suddenly remembered that today was the day the rolling mill paid their salaries.
Unexpectedly, when Jia Zhangshi said this, Jia Dongxu was immediately unhappy." Mom, I'm a grown man. How can three yuan a month be enough? This little money is not even enough for lunch at the office, let alone spending it.”
Jia Dongxu talked back, and Jia Zhangshi was very dissatisfied.
It was one thing for Xu Mingying to go against her today, but why was her son so insensible today?
"How can we spend three yuan a month eating lunch at the office? You child, our family's conditions are just so-so. Don't learn to squander. Saving more money is the main thing.”
Jia Zhang-shi lectured him and did not want to continue discussing this issue.
So after saying this, he immediately reached out his hand to Jia Dongxu." Forget it, I'll give you five yuan for living expenses this month, okay? Hurry up and give me my salary!"
However, to Jia Zhangshi's surprise, Jia Dongxu shook his head." Mom, I was just about to tell you that from this month onwards, my salary will be handed over to my wife for safekeeping. I'm already married, so how can I leave my money to Mom?!"”
Xu Mingying had suggested this last night, and Jia Dongxu felt that it made sense, so he agreed on the spot.
"What did you say?"
"Dongxu, you want to give your wife your salary?”
"No, why should she?"
Jia Zhang-shi couldn't believe it.
However, he was someone who had lived for such a long time, so he reacted quickly.
Although Xu Mingying had always been obedient, she realized that this daughter-in-law was not as simple as she appeared to be.
Therefore, these days, she had been trying to use some means to control the other party.
However, she had never expected that Xu Mingying would finally reveal her fangs and claws on the day she found out that she was pregnant. Moreover, she had the power to control the family's finances. This method was really extraordinary.
If her son's salary was controlled in the future, would she still have a place in this family?
Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi was ready to resist.
