Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 107
Manman had a suspected morning sickness reaction one month after getting married.

Aunt Zhang asked in surprise: "Manman, do you have it?"

Qian'er didn't understand what Aunt Zhang meant, so she asked in a ignorant manner, "Mother, what's wrong with sister-in-law?"

Aunt Zhang slapped her away, and said: "Go away, you little girl, what are you messing around with when adults talk about filming?" After finishing speaking, she ignored Qian'er's angry face, and only looked at Manman eagerly.

Manman's face turned red, she lowered her head first, and her voice couldn't be lowered: "Yes."

Aunt Zhang clapped her hands: "Great, I remember your last childhood was at..."

Manman's expression became even uglier.

How would Mrs. Zhang know when was the last time she had a happy life?She already had a guilty conscience, and she felt even more embarrassed when Aunt Zhang asked her this seemingly unintentional question.Knowing that he was cheating first, but being slapped unintentionally by a kind person is really painful.

Niu'er stopped the conversation and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? If you are worried, just ask Uncle Chen to have a look..."

Aunt Zhang gave her son a blank look, and said, "What do you know? Our small family is so delicate, we always ask a doctor, you have money and nothing to spend." Then she looked at Manman with a smile on her face , said: "Don't worry, Manman, I'm not talking about you, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, I gave birth to Niuer and the brothers and sisters, they are experienced..." He wiped the corners of his eyes again, Said: "Old Zhang's family has a queen, your father should be able to close his eyes, I have finally lived up to the expectations of the ancestors of the Zhang family..."

Manman suddenly lost her appetite.Does this child have anything to do with Zhang's family?Aunt Zhang believed so firmly that she had completed the task of inheriting incense from the Zhang family, which made her ashamed and ashamed.

Niu'er glanced at Manman who was bowing his head, coughed, and said, "Mother—you are an old man with experience, so I will leave it to you to take care of Manman."

Aunt Zhang said: "It's up to you to say, I know of course. Don't be afraid, Manman. Although our family is not rich, we can eat enough. As long as the mouth is strong, both adults and children will be fine."

The Zhang family is indeed not rich, and Manman didn't think about raising herself as a daughter, so she said, "I'm not picky about food."

Aunt Zhang was very satisfied, and said: "I know you are a sensible child."

After being instilled by the enthusiastic Aunt Zhang about her pregnancy and parenting, Manman and Niu'er went home one after the other.

Niu'er lit the lamp and said to Manman: "It's getting late, you should rest first."

Manman didn't eat much, but felt uncomfortable in the heart, a feeling of emptiness, and an unspeakable depression, as if she would vomit at any time.She frowned and shook her head, and said, "It's okay, I'll weave cages and baskets with you."

Country people never have time to be idle. They start working from daybreak. Manman has followed the Romans since she married into the Zhang family.In the evening, we take advantage of the bright moon to weave cages and baskets, catch up with the market, and let Niuer sell them, which can be regarded as supplementary for the family.

Uncle Zhang died three days after Manman and Niuer got married.The Zhang family had expected this fact, so although they were sad, they quickly accepted the result.

But from that day on, Niu'er and Manman slept in separate rooms.

He was supposed to keep his filial piety for three years, but the country people didn't care too much about it, so they only kept it for one year.

Manman didn't care, on the contrary, she just felt relaxed.Niu'er has always been careful to approach her, but he is an honest person, except for the hand he tried to put on her waist on the night of marriage, he has never made any close moves since then.Manman is also trying not to retreat so much, but she still can't get close to a man who is still like a stranger even though she is married.

They are not so much husband and wife as partners living under the same roof.Just like in primitive societies, two people have to cooperate in order to get the life they want in a solid relationship.

Aunt Zhang is very fond of Manman because she likes her appearance and her desolate and helpless life experience, but this does not mean that she enshrines Manman as a fairy.In this family, no one can hold their hands high and wait to eat what is ready-made.

Aunt Zhang spared no effort to teach Manman various survival skills with her kindest and most enthusiastic directness and straightforwardness.If Manman did well, she would smile at it, but if Manman did not do well enough and wasted materials, she would sigh quietly and torment Manman with that sad face that no one could ignore.

Manman is well aware of her situation.Maybe she can still consider herself married, but why wouldn't Mrs. Zhang think her Niuer is married?After all, apart from her slender figure and rather pretty appearance, Manman knew almost nothing about farming, so not only was she of no help to the Zhang family, she was even a complete burden for nothing.

She doesn't have a princess disease, and she doesn't take herself too seriously. In order to live and make up for her apologies, she tries her best to do everything she can.

Niu'er is the only insider, and he tries his best to take care of Manman.

But he can't talk, he can only do, so he tries his best to take all the work that should belong to Manman to himself.

Manman is not ungrateful, but she can only say "thank you".In fact, the more she did, the less apologetic she was.So even though the matter of pregnancy passed the Ming road, she still tried her best to weave cages and baskets under the moonlight with Niu'er as usual.

Niu'er didn't force it, but just took a silent look at Manman, and then picked up the wattle skillfully.

Manman silently weaves bamboo cages with the twigs he has cut.

Having been busy most of the night, Niu'er didn't find a chance to explain.From time to time, he peeked at Manman's side face. There was no sadness or complaint on her beautiful face, as if she was satisfied with living such a comfortable life.

But Niu'er didn't believe it.

Manman put down the woven bamboo cage, looked sideways at Niu'er, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Niu'er was caught peeking and was a little cramped. He stayed there for a while, but said: "You are inconvenient, you should rest more."

Manman just said lightly: "It's okay."

Seeing her being so indifferent, Niu'er became a little angry, stopped in front of her and said, "You, I know, you have something in your heart..."

Manman raised his face and looked at him with a little surprise. Niu'er was stared at by Manman, and thousands of words were turned into flying smoke. He stood there stupidly, forgetting what he wanted to say.

Manman said calmly: "Nothing, I am very grateful to you and your family."

Besides, it would be hypocritical to be grateful, Manman slightly bent the corners of her mouth mockingly at herself, and said, "I'm tired." After saying that, she stopped looking at Niu'er, and walked back to the room slowly.

She thought that she probably knew what Niu Er was going to say.In fact, there is really no need. Originally, she thought that such an honest and kind person would not say those flashy words.

But she was wrong, and he actually wanted to say it out.

But she didn't want to listen.She does have ideas, but so what?Want her to speak out, tell him?Then get his relief and understanding?

Really don't have to.

She said she was grateful and hypocritical, but his words of comfort were even more hypocritical.Even in his whole life, he would treat her like this without complaint or regret, but she didn't believe that he didn't complain about her past and the child in her womb.

Kindness is not synonymous with stupidity.

That's it, enough, just right.If there is no accident, she will do her best to repay the Zhang family.She is content to have a place to live and live such a fulfilling and stable life.

Manman lay on the hard kang, feeling no discomfort at all.

There is a warm heat under the body, which is much more comfortable than a wooden bed.She felt that what she had been exposed to in the past few months was more than what she had learned in these two lifetimes. She never knew that she could learn to do these things by doing it herself.Chopping firewood, carrying water, thinning seedlings, fishing, feeding chickens, cutting pigweed...

Although it seems meaningless, the meaning of many people's existence is to work from dawn to dusk, instead of thinking about what meaning is.

Niu'er stood there very annoyed, feeling very inferior.He hated his clumsy tongue, hated his powerlessness.He has worked very hard, but Manman is still as cold as a pool of ice water, no matter what he does, he can't stir up any ripples, let alone see the fluctuations in her heart, and she can't see any signs of her warming up .

He felt a little frustrated, what did he not do enough?Or, is he doing something wrong at all?

Aunt Zhang called him softly from the next door.Niu'er looked at Aunt Zhang in a daze, but she beckoned him to come to the wall.Niu'er asked, "Mother, why are you still up so late?"

Aunt Zhang said: "Aren't you still asleep? Where's your wife?"

Niu'er seemed to have been opened up, turned around and glanced at Manman's room, and whispered: "Just fell asleep, mother, Manman is pregnant, can't you let her do less work? How many days away?"

Mrs. Zhang wanted to pinch her son's ear, but she couldn't reach it, so she said angrily: "I think you are obsessed with ghosts. A person like her can stay in a family like ours for a long time... "

Niu'er's brain boomed.

Aunt Zhang said: "I am satisfied if she can live with you for a year or two, especially now that I have your flesh and blood again, I am even more thankful. Don't wishful thinking, she is just a restless person. Child, let her go wherever you want, don't stay here, and when the child is a little older, you can raise it in my house, and you can marry a good girl from another village..."

Niu'er is not very interested in raising other people's children, nor is he interested in marrying a good girl from another village. He just keeps thinking in his heart: That's it.

He finally knew why Manman was like a piece of ice, and she couldn't get hot anymore, because she always wanted to leave him and the Zhang family.

Seeing Niu'er's ignorant look, Mrs. Zhang said angrily, "You still don't believe me? You were born in my belly, can I still lie to you? They say that beauty is a disaster, and this is true. How could you marry her? If it wasn't for the son of the Chen family..." Aunt Zhang stopped her mouth suddenly, and said in a somewhat embarrassing way: "Well, it's getting late, let's rest."

　The third is delivered.
