The next morning , Su Yue thought about Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law and to support the fetus, it is best to drink something nutritious and easy to digest in the morning, so she specially cooked some red date porridge for her to eat using the red dates she bought. The red date porridge is light and nutritious, and it also nourishes the blood.
Because Han Laosan had to continue working on building a house, he asked Mrs. Han to take good care of his wife. Su Yue saw that the old lady had to make cakes, take care of Maomao, and serve the third daughter-in-law at such an old age.
She felt sorry that she was tired at such an old age, so she took the initiative to help her share the burden. From now on, she would take care of the third daughter-in-law’s meals.
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law was lying on the bed. She opened her eyes when she heard Su Yue and said weakly: “When are you making breakfast? I’m already hungry.”
Su Yue paused and said nothing, put the porridge on the kang cabinet, put a pillow behind her, helped her sit up halfway, and then handed her the porridge and spoon.
Han’s third daughter-in-law looked at the porridge and let out a sigh of disappointment, “I just eat porridge in the morning. Porridge doesn’t replenish my body. My body needs to be replenished.”
Su Yue thought to herself, could it be possible to drink chicken soup and eat meat in the morning? That was too greasy, so she said, ” you shouldn’t eat greasy food in the morning. I’ll give you chicken soup at noon.”
Han’s third daughter-in-law sighed and said, “I don’t want to drink porridge. It’s very bland and I can’t eat it Sister-in-law, why don’t you make me a bowl of noodles? I think the hand-made noodles you make are delicious and I want to eat this.”
Su Yue paused for a moment, thinking that sick people might be picky, so she nodded, “Okay, I’ll make you a bowl.”
Su Yue brought the porridge back to the kitchen. When Old Mrs. Han saw that the porridge was brought back intact, she was surprised, “What? The third daughter-in-law has no appetite?”
Su Yue: “She said she couldn’t drink the porridge and wanted to eat the hand-made noodles I made.”
When Mrs. Han heard this, she immediately frowned, “Is she even picky? She can even look down on something as good as red date porridge? Most people can’t buy these red dates. They cost a lot of money. You take them out for her to eat and she still doesn’t like them?”
The old lady became more and more angry as she spoke, “She was so noisy that she almost lost the child. She doesn’t even have meat to eat but she is ordering you around .daughter-in-law ignore her. She likes to eat or not! If she doesn’t eat, she’ll be hungry.”
Su Yue thought for a while and said, “Mom, forget it, she almost had a miscarriage. I won’t argue with her, so I’ll just make her a bowl of noodles. It won’t take any effort anyway. Let’s not get angry with the pregnant person.”
Old Mrs. Han thought that she would just starve her third daughter-in-law, but it looked like she endured it for the sake of the child in her belly, and said to Su Yue: “Forget it this morning, I don’t want you to deliver food to her in the future. Mother will deliver it. Let me see if she dares to be picky.”
Su Yue thought this was fine. Anyway, she didn’t want to serve the third daughter-in-law anymore, so she said: “Mom, I will make the cakes during this period. Don’t do it. You can just take care of the third daughter-in-law.”
Old Mrs. Han nodded and said yes, and temporarily gave the cake-making job to Su Yue. She was responsible for the family’s meals and taking care of Mr. Han’s third daughter-in-law.
Su Yue took the time to make the noodles quickly.
Instead of taking it herself, she asked Mrs. Han to give it to her.
When it came time for dinner, Su Yue was busy making pastries and had no time, so Mrs. Han took care of dinner, cooking half-thick and half-thin rice porridge as usual, and sticking a few corn tortillas on the edge of the pot, thinking about Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law wanted to replenish her health, she cooked an egg specially for her.
When Han’s third daughter-in-law saw that the old lady had come to deliver dinner, she didn’t dare to say anything else. She just looked at what was delivered and found that it was just a bowl of porridge, two corn tortillas and a boiled egg, and she felt unhappy.
She is someone who needs to replenish her health, so why does she only eat these? Doesn’t this take her too seriously?
“Mom, why am I eating this tonight?”
Mrs. Han naturally saw the disgust in her eyes and snorted angrily, “What the hell, you hate eating this? Then what did you eat when you were cooking? Huh?”
When Han’s third daughter-in-law cooks for herself, she just eats a little bit of rice porridge on top of the bar at night. There is no way there are pancakes and eggs. But she felt that she was a patient now, so how could this be the same.
“Mom, I’m not in good health. I need to eat well to recover. And I’m not the only one eating. I still have one in my belly. If I don’t eat well, how can this little one in my belly grow well?”
Old Mrs. Han saw that she was speaking the truth and looked at her sideways, “Then tell me, what do you want to eat?”
Old Mrs. Han’s third daughter-in-law thought that the old lady had given in to her, and she felt proud, so she put her heart in her heart. The idea came out, “Mom, I also know that we can’t eat meat every day at home. I can eat something else. Otherwise, you can ask my sister-in-law to make me some pancakes. The scallion pancakes she makes are delicious.”
Han The old lady shook her head and said, “Your sister-in-law is making pastries and she doesn’t have time.”
Han’s third daughter-in-law said, “Then ask her 5o take some time to make some for me. After she finish the cakes , it won’t delay much.”
Seeing what she said so confidently, Mrs. Han’s face immediately turned bad, “Third daughter-in-law, you want to order the whole family when you are pregnant. It’s not enough for a old woman to serve you alone. You also want your sister-in-law to serve you. Why do you have such a big face? Why does your sister-in-law come to wait on you first if she doesn’t do her own thing?”
Han’s third daughter-in-law felt unhappy when she heard what the old lady said. If she was normal, she would never dare to fight with the old lady, but now that she is pregnant with one in her belly, she feels confident, and she suffered a big loss this time.
If Su Yue hadn’t asked Maomao to learn from her, how could she have almost missed it? As for the miscarriage, it was all Su Yue’s fault. Su Yue owed it to her. She didn’t blame her, so what if she asked her to make something for herself? Isn’t this natural?
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law said: “Mom, I don’t blame my sister-in-law anymore. I just asked my sister-in-law to make me something delicious. Isn’t this even possible?”
When Mrs. Han heard this, her eyes widened. , “What, you still want to blame your sister-in-law? That’s really strange. Tell me, why do you blame your sister-in-law?”
Han’s third daughter-in-law felt that Mrs. Han was pretending to be stupid, “Mom, this time isn’t the miscarriage caused by my sister-in-law? If she had created the schoolbag and hadn’t asked Maomao to learn from her, otherwise how could I get kicked from Maomao? if not for this, how could I have almost miscarried? Wasn’t this caused by her? ”
As she said this, she was still not relieved and continued: “For the sake of the family, I didn’t bother her anymore, so it was right to let her take care of me. ”
Old Mrs. Han was simply shocked by her shamelessness. She looked at her for several seconds without saying anything.
Is there such a crooked person in this world?
Old Mrs. Han laughed out of anger and refused to talk to her. In order to avoid people outside saying that she was an old woman bullying her pregnant daughter-in-law who was lying on the bed, she simply went out of the room, stood at the door and shouted to Han Lao San who was having dinner: “Lao San, come here. ”
Han Laosan was chewing pancakes when he saw his mother shouting. He put down his bowl and came over without knowing why, “Mom, what’s wrong? Is something wrong with my wife ?
Mrs. Han dragged him in and asked, “What can be wrong with your wife ? ”
Han Laosan became more and more confused.
Old Mrs. Han: “Come on, Lao San, listen to what your wife said. She said it was your eldest sister-in-law who almost aborted the child this time, and she wanted your sister-in-law to atone for her sins and take care of her. ”
When Han Laosan heard this, he looked at his wife in shock. How could he not know that she still had this idea?
Han Laosan’s wife curled her lips and said, “Mom, what do you mean? Am I wrong about what I said? It’s because of my sister-in-law that I’m like this, why do you still think it’s my fault? ”
Mrs. Han pointed at her angrily, but stared at Mr. Han, “Third son, listen to what your wife is saying.” She was so jealous that she went to her sister-in-law to ask for a schoolbag. Your sister-in-law told her to let Maomao follow her and learn before she could give him a schoolbag. So she forced Maomao to learn. Maomao was ignorant and kicked around. She almost aborted the child, but instead of reflecting on herself or blaming her own son, she blames your sister-in-law, thinking that she was owns her ”
Old Mrs. Han couldn’t help but spat, “I’ve finally seen your wife’s evil deeds. Don’t you feel guilty? ”
Han Laosan didn’t know that his wife thought this way before, so he immediately shouted: “Zhao Fang, what are you talking about! What does this have to do with my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law was kind enough to call you a doctor, and now she’s making food for our family. Why are you blaming others? Do you still have a conscience? ”
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law was so wronged that she also shouted, “I have no conscience? I think you have no conscience. If sister-in-law hadn’t told Maomao to sit down and listen to the class and study before she could make a schoolbag, would I have been like this? I almost lost the grandson of your old Han family. You don’t feel sorry for me, but you also feel sorry for someone else? Why are you all doing this? ”
As she said this, she slapped the quilt and cried, “Oh my god, I’m like this and still being bullied by this family. Why is my life so miserable!” God, please accept me and save me from suffering here! ”
Han Laosan was so angry that he couldn’t speak. The key is that she is still pregnant and he really can’t do anything to her. he really can’t hit her or scold her. He is very aggrieved.
Mrs. Han She was so angry that she immediately said: “Okay, Zhao Fang, I haven’t made trouble for you yet, but you have been wronged. You are a mother yet, you don’t even remember your periods were missed for several months and didn’t even know if you were pregnant with a baby. Isn’t it your fault? ”
The third daughter-in-law of Han burst into tears and felt a little guilty.
Mrs. Han said: “Your sister-in-law made schoolbags for the fourth son and Hehua, but you are so jealous that you want to go to your sister-in-law to get them. You are so shameless that most people can’t compare too. I didn’t say you were shameless, but you made yourself look like it! ”
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law was dissatisfied and said, “Being an aunt should be fair. Why can’t my child get it? She is the eldest aunt who behaves like this!
Mrs. Han pouted at her, “Your sister-in-law doesn’t owe you anything, so why should she do it for your child? Do you still care about who she likes to give after separation? ”
Han’s third daughter-in-law couldn’t stand what she said, so she muttered repeatedly, “Anyway, she just doesn’t have to be partial ”
Old Mrs. Han was so angry at her unreasonable appearance that she wanted to go up and slap her twice, but she was pregnant and couldn’t give her a slap.
She immediately took the dinner away and walked out of the room without looking back.” Okay, okay, we are separated anyway, I won’t take care of you anymore, you can take care of yourselves, if you want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, do it yourself. We people are not worthy of serving you. ”
Han’s third daughter-in-law was dumbfounded. When she saw that the food had been taken away, and the old lady said she didn’t want to serve her anymore, she started to cry and howl, “Oh my god, daughter-in-law is sick but the old lady is so cruel that she doesn’t care. What kind of life is this? Why is it so miserable…”
Han Laosan said with a sullen face, “Stop howling, if you continue to howl, go back to your parents’ house. I don’t want the child anymore.”
Han Laosan’s wife cried and looked at Han Laosan in disbelief, “What did you say, Han Ai Dang! Are you crazy! Are you still human? ”
Han Laosan: “I’m not a human being, so don’t mess with me. You can find someone better.”
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law didn’t dare to accept these words. She couldn’t help but feel sad. She felt that she had found a man who was worse than a pig or a dog. She clapped her hands on the quilt and howled again, “Oh God !! My life is so miserable…”
Han Lao San was so irritated by her that he had a headache. He turned around and went out, leaving her to cry alone.
There was such a loud noise, how could Su Yue not hear the daughter-in-law complained about her. To be honest, she was very disappointed. She really didn’t expect that the third daughter-in-law would blame her for this matter. She also felt from the bottom of her heart that she should serve her. No wonder she had so many problems in the morning. It turned out that she was treating her as a maid.
It was really kind of her to feed such dog. From now on, she would not care about the affairs of the third daughter-in-law.
Han Aiguo also heard clearly what happened just now, and his face was gloomy and scary. When he saw Han Laosan coming out, he calmly His voice said to him: “Third brother, I don’t care how you and your wife fight, but don’t get your sister-in-law involved. Your sister-in-law doesn’t owe you anything. If you let me hear it again, don’t blame me for not giving you face. ”
Han Laosan was so ashamed that he didn’t dare to look at his eldest brother. He said in a low voice: “Brother, I understand. From now on, we will cook by ourselves. I will take care of her. I don’t need the help of my sister-in-law and mother.”
Han Aiguo didn’t say anything else. After dinner, he went to the kitchen to boil hot water for Su Yue to take a bath. He also cooked a pot for Mrs. Han.
After returning to the room, he no longer boiled some hot water for Han Laosan’s family to use like last night.
Han Aiguo felt that people like Lao San’s family couldn’t be used to it, otherwise they would take other people’s contributions as granted.
Old Mrs. Han kept her promise. When she was cooking the next morning, she cooked meals for several people in her family. She didn’t cook for Han Laosan’s family at all. Han Laosan didn’t have the shame to come over again and ask sister-in-law to serve his wife. He got up earlier than usual and cooked some porridge with half-coarse and half-fine grains and water. However, he had never done this before. The porridge was like rice soaked in water and he found it difficult to swallow.
But he had no choice but to boil an extra egg and send it to his wife.
Han’s third daughter-in-law went crazy when she saw such a breakfast. She was so angry that she didn’t want to eat it. She started crying in the room again. One moment she said that her life was miserable, the next moment she said she wanted to hang herself, and the next moment she said some people didn’t have conscience.
Han Laosan clenched his fists and held back his anger and asked her: “Then what do you want to eat?”
Han Laosan’s wife cried and said: “I am no different from confinement. I need to drink chicken soup to replenish my body. How can you let me eat such a thing? How can my child grow well if I eat such a thing?”
Han Laosan nodded, “Okay, I’ll kill one of the chickens we divided into families and make soup for you.”
As soon as she heard that he was going to kill his own chickens, Han Laosan’s wife immediately stopped and said, “You are not allowed to touch my chickens, they are what I use to lay eggs!”
Han Laosan said, “If you want to eat our chickens, but not kill them, then whose chicken to you want?”
Han Laosan’s daughter-in-law said: “I’m giving birth to a child for your Han family, shouldn’t your mother give me chicken to eat?”
Han Laosan knew that she wanted to take advantage of his mother, he sneered and ignored her, and turned around to go to work around the house and let her do whatever she wants at home.
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law had been fussing for a long time but couldn’t get what she wanted. She was so angry that she cried for father and mother again. But this time no one paid attention to her no matter how much fuss she made.
Even Maomao didn’t want to come into the room to see her. She had been fussing for a long time. She became more and more hungry, so he had no choice but to drink the porridge. After drinking the porridge, she continued to cry, which made the whole family restless.
When Su Yue was teaching Lao Si and Hehua to read, the crying in Han Lao San’s room became louder and louder. It was so loud that she couldn’t teach at all and also they couldn’t concentrate on studying.
Su Yue’s ears were buzzing from the quarrel, but there was nothing she could do about a pregnant woman. If she quarreled with her and the child gets injured unintentionally then all the blame will come on her.
She endured it for the sake of the child.
Fortunately, it only took half a month for Han Laosan’s new house to be built. Although it was relatively simple, it was still a new house. Han Laosan also knew that his wife was making trouble at home every day. So he moved his things to the new house, and then moved Han’s third daughter-in-law to sleep in the new house.
Han Lao’s third daughter-in-law was quite happy to live in a new house, so she didn’t cry about it and went to live there obediently. Nobody knows if she cried again after that. They were far away anyway so they can’t listen
Han Aimin took a deep breath and said, “My ears are finally clean.”
Hehua nodded with deep approval.
Su Yue also felt good, finally no longer having to hear the sounds of cursing, crying and shouting in her ears every day.
It was almost the end of the year, and the production team gradually stopped asking team members to work and began to prepare every household for the New Year.
Before the Chinese New Year, the production team also has one of the most anticipated things, and that is the brigade slaughtering pigs. Every household can share a lot of pork when killing pigs. People who have no money all year round will kill pigs during the New Year to eat some meat.
Even the children were so happy that they wanted to jump up when they learned that the pig was going to be killed. They asked the adults at home every day when the pig would be killed.
On this day, the brigade finally informed all team members that pigs would be killed today.
Everyone in the production team was excited and rushed to the brigade headquarters to watch the pigs being slaughtered. Han Aimin and Hehua were also looking forward to it. Seeing this, Su Yue gave them a break and let them watch the fun
Thanks for the translation! ♡
I knew it! I knew that third sister in law was going to make trouble. Honestly I think the third brother should just divorce her 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I know I know it’s not good. But she’s just going to keep making trouble.
Sigh. Even if he divorced his wife and found a new one latter, if her new wife wasn’t an exceptionally good person, it wouldn’t change much. 😑
Remember how he couldn’t see any sign between SY and Aiguo, then he even push her to HQS? Laosan needs to learn to pay more attention to his surrounding. Especially to his family member. He needs to really talk with his wife and pay attention to her. He needs to get involved with their children’s education. If he’s done his best, but his wife won’t repent and they’re ended up divorced. At least, he wouldn’t have regret. It’d be easier for him to move on and he might even remarried and treated her new wife right.
