Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1122 Cold Sour Mango

Didn't you say that Qiu Sheng's wife was unhappy?How did you become Zhang Erni?

"Er Ni?" Chu Qing stared at Zhang Er Ni with wide eyes: she is much fatter than before. Her apple-shaped face was already fat, but now her apple seems to have enlarged, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes have almost been smoothed out.

I thought it was because my family situation had improved and I gained weight in middle age, but now it seems...

"Congratulations! How many months has it been?" Chu Qing held Zhang Erni's hand and helped her sit on a small stool aside.

It can harm happiness, so naturally the month is not big.

"More than two months." Zhang Erni blushed even more.

"Oh," Chu Qing said, "Then you didn't tell me earlier! I told you to send a few people to take care of you, but you still won't let me go! Don't refuse this time, and ask Zhao Min and Gongsun Lu'e to help you later;

Oh...that's not right, then aren't your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only one month old? "

Chu Qing realized as he spoke that Qiu Sheng's wife was also more than two months pregnant.

"This... um, yes." Zhang Erni's apple-like face turned red to a jujube color.

However, a woman's pregnancy is a happy event, but there is a fear - she is afraid that others will suspect the "root cause" of the pregnancy.

Zhang Erni said: "Isn't Qiu Sheng ready to take part in the palace examination in the spring? His father specially asked for leave and came back to Beijing to accompany him. It was during that time..."

"Oh oh oh! I understand, I understand!" Chu Qing said hurriedly.

The whole family is happy when Qiu Sheng gains fame. Why shouldn't there be a way to celebrate the happiness?A whole family has its own family style, and a small family has its own small family style, but the small family style is the same.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pregnant at the same time, and it might be embarrassing to tell them. No wonder Zhang Erni kept hiding it.

Zhang Erni blushed so hard that she almost bled, and hurriedly changed the subject: "There's no need to send someone to help us. It's not like we've never given birth before. I have experience. We're not delicate people. It's enough for Yanmei to be taken care of by me."

Chu Qing knew that Zhang Erni was embarrassed, but she still had to be taken care of by someone. She was pregnant herself, and she had to take care of her daughter-in-law who was also pregnant. How could she take care of her?

Although Zhang Erni is having her second child, she is already 40 years old and is an advanced pregnant woman. Old age means high risk, so someone needs to take more care of her.

"Listen to me! You have given birth before, but you are not young anymore. You have to give birth well, otherwise Yanmei won't have enough time to worry about you." Chu Qing glanced at Qiu Sheng's wife and said.

Although Qiu Sheng's wife also blushed, she nodded repeatedly: "Auntie is right!"

Then she didn't forget to continue her previous request: "Auntie, can you get some sour plums? My mother is more prone to happiness than me. She has finished the sauerkraut she brought at home. The sour plums she bought on the road are delicious, but she doesn't even bother to give them to her. I eat, but she only drinks vinegar..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law originally thought they were seasick and vomited on the road, so they took the land route instead. However, it didn't work out well. They asked a doctor to take a pulse and found out she was pregnant.

The mother-in-law was embarrassed to say it, but she was also worried about saving money. When buying sour snacks, she was only willing to buy one for her daughter-in-law to eat. She had to eat raw sauerkraut brought from home.

Yanmei took out a handkerchief from her waist, which contained a five-tael silver ingot. She handed it to Chu Qing and said, "Auntie, we have searched all over the city and can't find anyone selling sour plums. Even if there are, they probably won't be able to sell sour plums." It should be very expensive, so you buy five taels of silver first, and you can take whatever you have."

Five taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people. Even if it is a wealthy family, it is only a month's worth of silver for the boudoir lady.

Five taels of silver was spent on sour plums, and in the area where sour plums are produced, in previous years, one could buy a cart.

But this year I couldn't find it.

Chu Qing also visited the commercial street in Yong'an Prefecture. There were not many shops. However, because it was located in the southernmost part of Daxuan and was too remote, the commercial streets in Fucheng could not keep up with the market conditions in Linyang County.

Especially due to the disaster at the end of last year, a large number of shops were closed and the commercial streets were now very depressed. For those that were still in business, their turnover basically came from purchases from the Yong'an Government.

But Chu Qing really didn’t know the price of sour plums, and she didn’t eat them.Chu Qing pushed back Yanmei's money: "Silly girl, keep the money. After the child is born, there will be many places to use the money. At my aunt's house, can I still ask you to contribute money?"

Yanmei insisted on giving money to Chu Qing: "Auntie, I've disturbed you enough..."

Chu Qing smiled at Zhang Erni and said, "Erni, take care of her!"

Zhang Erni said sheepishly: "Sister, you think it's strange. I didn't feel like eating sour foods on the road, but now that I'm free, I'm extremely greedy. I wasn't like this the year I gave birth to Qiusheng."

Looking at Zhang Erni, who was five or six years older than herself, but still called herself "sister", Chu Qing still gave her the same sense of dependence as before: "Don't be shy, there is nothing to be shy about!

This is a great event!Most people think about having a second child at this age!This means we are in good health!
Don’t worry about the sour plums, leave it to me, I’ll guarantee you a sufficient supply! "

Qiu Sheng's daughter-in-law, Yanmei, was relieved after hearing this, and then she lowered her head and remained silent, just like when she first arrived.

Chu Qing was happy for Zhang Erni when she saw it.

Zhang Erni has a submissive character. She was bullied by her sisters-in-law in her husband's house, and she endured it. The only time she resisted was for Chu Qing.

At that time, Chu Qing fired everyone because the villagers bullied Xiaobao. Zhang Erni's two sisters-in-law asked her to intercede with Chu Qing and wanted to work, but Zhang Erni refused.

Looking at Qiusheng's wife now, she looks as quiet as Zhang Erni on the surface, but she is bold at heart. She says a lot of what she needs to say, and she insists on fighting for what she needs to fight for.

With such a daughter-in-law to help, Zhang Erni will be more worry-free in the future.

There was no place to buy sour plums in the middle of the night. If you wanted to buy them, you had to wait until tomorrow. But right now, with Chu Qing here, you couldn't let Zhang Erni get jealous.

It’s not necessary to eat sour plums to relieve nausea during pregnancy.

Chu Qing asked Huang Rong for a basket of green mangoes and a basket of tamarinds, and asked Gongsun Lue and Zhao Min to help push them there on a cart.

These are all shipped from MY WORLD Island because Chu Qing loves to eat.

However, when sailing long distances at sea, sometimes the weather is bad, which is very time-consuming, so we only transport green mangoes, which can be ripened if left undisturbed.

Now, when the green mangoes are sour, Chu Qing cut them into strips and asked Zhang Erni to try them. Sure enough, Zhang Erni nodded repeatedly: "Sister, it's delicious! It's delicious!"

Yanmei is good to eat, but it feels too sour.

Chu Qing sprinkled some chili powder and salt on it and asked her to try it again. As a result, Yanmei couldn't stop eating the seasoned food.

Chu Qing asked Yanmei to go back to eat with a large plate of cold sour mangoes, and asked Zhao Min and Gongsun Lv'e to help deliver the mangoes and sour horns. He turned back to talk to Zhang Erni.

Chu Qing blamed her for not giving in: "There are so many people at home, and whoever you order can't get you something to eat? Do you have to deal with it?"

While Zhang Erni was enjoying the green mangoes, she said, "Sister, Yong'an Mansion is in a recession right now. You have been so busy all day long that I feel really distressed. I don't want you to worry about it."

This is the current situation of Yong'an Mansion.

Even though Chu Qing had a lot of money, he could not meet his material needs because he couldn't buy anything he wanted even if he had money.

This is true in all prefectures, and even more so in the newly planned Xingfu County in Qiu Sheng. This is why Chu Qing kept Zhang Erni's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It's a waste of time.
