Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 314 - 263 The Troublesome Child_3

This sister-in-law who had just arrived was even more so; the previous daughters had to work before and after giving birth.

When Tang Weixing heard the words of his sister-in-law’s mother, he did not respond. Since it was his elder sister talking about his younger sister, as a husband, he simply ignored it.

Saying more or less was wrong, moreover, now that his wife was pregnant, she should not get angry or worry, and he had to protect her.

Zhong Xianggui did not come in, as someone needed to watch the small shop at home. His father had gone to look after that shop, and since his mother had to entertain guests, he could only watch the shop from outside.

As he looked on, he noticed some items that were no longer packaged even though they hadn’t been sold yet.

As for what had happened, he could only find out after asking his mother.

His mother had just finished serving tea to the guests and came from the living room. He asked his mother, "Mom, how are the child and my wife inside?"

"The sister-in-law I brought in was fine when she went in, the baby was sleeping, and your sister-in-law is watching over them now!"

"Oh, then why has this stuff been unpacked?"

"Ah, it’s your sister-in-law’s child; never mind, let’s not speak too loudly, if it doesn’t sell, we’ll just sell it cheaper!"

"Fine..." Zhong Xianggui thought of his sister-in-law’s son. He had initially been upset that his wife had given birth to a daughter, but now felt somewhat comforted thinking about the trouble of having a mischievous child.

Actually, if his daughter was as well-behaved and smart as his elder sister-in-law’s daughter, he would also be happy. He had no brothers or sisters growing up, which was lonely; he had always wanted siblings.

Now that his wife had given birth to a daughter, he figured he just needed to try for a son in the next pregnancy. With this realization, Zhong Xianggui began to prepare happily.

His mother had similar thoughts. After entertaining the guests, she busied herself in the kitchen; they, the adults, might not mind being hungry, but they definitely couldn’t let the old lady who helped with maternity go hungry.

Zhong Xianggui saw his mother busying herself in the kitchen. Observing that there were no customers in the shop at the moment, he went into the kitchen to talk to her.

He should order some dishes from the neighboring restaurant so his mother wouldn’t have to work so hard, just preparing the special meals for the old lady would suffice.

His family had already bought groceries; his mother originally didn’t want to order food and drinks from outside, thinking that it was just the matter of giving birth to a girl and didn’t need much celebration.

But as it was her first child, to avoid idle talk, they could just make a simple arrangement. Now that her son was willing to arrange a banquet at the restaurant, she readily agreed.

With noon approaching, actually preparing a full banquet on short notice was now impossible, but making a meal for the old lady was still manageable.

Zhong Xianggui hurriedly went to the neighboring restaurant to order a table.

Since the store and the restaurant were so close, he could have the prepared meals served to the guests in the restaurant.

As for his wife, of course, she could not come out to eat; she had his mother’s maternity meals.

Mrs. Li fed the child honey, and with its lively eyes looking up at her, calmly without crying or fussing, the child looked adorable.

Mrs. Li, watching the child, remembered her own daughter’s birth; she too had woken from discomfort crying loudly—a mother and child’s feelings interconnected.

She then put the child down, choosing not to change its diaper because it was too cold to continually open up the child’s clothes.

This two-day-old child was especially susceptible to catching a cold, making wintertime births a bit more challenging than those in the summer.

Mrs. Li meticulously arranged two bundles and placed them neatly inside a chest on the side.

Regardless of the noisy commotion outside, she chose not to go out to look. Her sister-in-law seemed to be alright, but she still preferred to stay here keeping watch.

She then went to play with the baby a bit. It seemed as if the little one understood somewhat, turning its eyes while listening to her speak and unconsciously smiling.

Seeing such a cute child, Mrs. Li felt very fond of it. It was already a nice gesture to give this child a red envelope and other prepared items from her.

After all, neither her elder sister nor her own mother had given anything.

In her arms, she had a silver bracelet for the child, a small one. She had previously made one for her son, using a red string to hang a silver pendant around his neck, and had made four small bracelets.

At that time, she made two extra, so she could give them as gifts when relatives had children.

This morning when leaving the house, she unconsciously brought a small bracelet. When her elder sister-in-law asked, she didn’t reveal her intention.

Clearly, her elder sister-in-law’s inquiry was just to find out what gift she intended for her sister-in-law’s child so she could ask for something similar for her own son.

Considering her elder sister-in-law’s behavior over the past few years, she did not take offense, holding no grudges. Previously, her mother-in-law would care for her sister-in-law’s children, but not her own daughters.

Back then, she had to work hard despite being heavily pregnant, while her mother-in-law helped her sister-in-law care for the children. She bottled up all this resentment.

She never vented these frustrations on the children, yet she was unwilling to be continually taken advantage of. If her sister-in-law were to have another child, she might be more generous with a gift.

Another half an hour had passed and Ye Shuzhi had still not woken, the baby neither crying nor fussing, and then went back to sleep without any mess.
