Chapter 13: Secret Recipe for Giving Birth!
After a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law found a large wooden basin and dealt with the wild chickens.
“Let’s take advantage of the fact that the sun hasn’t set yet. We should be able to reach home before curfew.” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and glanced at Eldest Sister-in-law Shen. “Go back to your room and pack your clothes. We can go back to the shop to help today.”
When she heard that she could return to the shop, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s eyes immediately lit up. In the end, she shook her head. “No, Second Sister-in-law’s body is getting heavier. If I go back to the shop, won’t you have to do a lot of work? If Dalang finds out, he will definitely blame me.”
“The second wife is only six months pregnant. There are still a few more months before she gives birth! Besides, I can do the work at home.” Zhao Lanhua smiled brightly. “Eldest wife, I’m happy that you care about me. However, Mother is not the kind of old fool who insists on keeping her daughter-in-law at home to do housework. Besides, if you don’t live with my eldest son, when will I be able to carry my grandson?”
“Mother...” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen called out in a choked voice.
It had been three years since Eldest Sister-in-law Shen entered the Shen family, but she was still not pregnant.
This matter was a thorn in Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s heart.
Zhao Lanhua inadvertently caught a glimpse of Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s reddened eyes and advised gently, “Don’t be too stressed. You and my eldest son are still young. The matters of pregnancy have to be determined by fate. Perhaps it’s not fate yet!”
“Mother... I... I understand.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen quickly raised her sleeve to wipe her tears and forced a smile.
At that moment, Ji Zhao, who had just walked out of the ear room, felt a little upset.
No wonder Sister-in-law Shen hated her so much.
Cursing a woman who had been married for three years and unable to get pregnant as a hen who cannot lay eggs was too vicious.
Ji Zhao remembered that there was also a record in the book that Eldest Sister-in-law Shen did not get pregnant in the end and died of depression before she was thirty years old.
“Mother, Sister-in-law, shall I help you clean up?” After adjusting her emotions, Ji Zhao smiled and walked to the two of them. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help clean up the wild chickens.
“You’ve just washed yourself clean. Don’t do it anymore,” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen declined without looking up. “There’s not much work left.”
Zhao Lanhua slowly stood up and carefully sized up Ji Zhao.
Ji Zhao blinked blankly. “Mother?”
“I think the injury on your head is a little serious.” Zhao Lanhua frowned and thought for a while. “How about this? In fifteen minutes, we’ll go to the county city together and take you to see a doctor first.”
“Thank you, Mother!” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully.
After Zhao Lanhua turned around and went to the main house, Ji Zhao slowly squatted beside Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, who was plucking chicken feathers.
Eldest Sister-in-law Shen took a step back subconsciously.
“Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous. I don’t mean any harm.”
“Who knows?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen replied indifferently.
Ji Zhao smiled awkwardly and said softly, “Eldest Sister-in-law, I want to apologize to you. I was too much of a bastard before.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
“Sister-in-law, actually... actually, I have a secret recipe for giving birth!” After hesitating for a while, Ji Zhao finally said this.
A glint flashed across Sister-in-law Shen’s eyes, and in the end, there was only sadness.
“How could you possibly have a secret recipe for childbirth? I heard that Third Brother and you didn’t consummate your marriage.”
Ji Zhao was speechless.
“Actually, to be precise, it’s not that I have a secret recipe for giving birth, but I’ve heard it before.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and whispered into Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s ear with a red face.
