Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 239 - 238: Have Her Call Jiazhi Back to Cook

Xia Xiao gave a sheepish smile. "I like those who are kind to me, warm to the heart and stomach. As for someone who can’t let go of their pride as you, they’re naturally not in my considerations, plus you share the same name as my dad."

"Will you look down on me, thinking I sacrificed my marriage to return to the city?" Gu Weiguo asked again.

Xia Xiao shook her head. "No, everyone’s path is different, and so are their choices. As long as you have no regrets, that’s what matters."

"Well, goodbye then. I will be waiting for you all to get together in the city," Gu Weiguo finally said to Xia Xiao.

"Goodbye and I wish you all the best," Xia Xiao waved at Gu Weiguo, watching as he left before she turned to head back to her dorm.

"What did Gu Weiguo say to you?" Ning Hui asked.

"He said he’s going back to the city to get married," replied Xia Xiao.

"His fiancée is in the city, right? That means you’ll be living apart," Ning Hui commented with a skeptical look.

Xia Xiao didn’t say much; once Gu Weiguo left this time, he would not return, and if he could go back to the city, he surely planned to do so with his official file.

It seemed Gu Weiguo’s fiancée was not from a small background.

As expected, after Gu Weiguo left, he never came back, and even Yao Wangchun and Xu Mei became much quieter, clearly aware of Gu Weiguo’s situation.

Some people, knowing that Gu Weiguo had returned to the city, began to get restless. Unfortunately, returning to the city was not so easy, and after some time and effort, many became disappointed.

Time moved into July. Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing continued to exchange letters every month, sometimes multiple letters in one month. Each time Gao Jiaxing’s letters were very thick, making Xia Xiao suspect that Gao Jiaxing must be writing every time he had a moment to spare.

Those who were educated really were different; their letters said more. Xia Xiao discovered through these letters that Gao Jiaxing was quite a chatterbox – he really had the gift of gab.

At that moment in the dorm, Xia Xiao was writing a letter to Gao Jiaxing when Yang Xuehua came back and said, "I just passed by the Gao family’s place and saw Sun Yuhua – her belly is so big. Could it be twins?"

"That shouldn’t be the case," replied Xia Xiao. If it were twins, Shitou would have definitely told her.

"I think it’s possible. Yang Hua’s belly wasn’t this big either when she was pregnant or nearing delivery," Yang Xuehua commented.

Suddenly, Xia Xiao realized it was already July, and Sun Yuhua was indeed due soon. "It’s July now; Sister Yuhua should be about to give birth."

Yang Xuehua counted the months and agreed, "Time flies so fast. No wonder her belly is that big."

Xia Xiao nodded and asked Yang Xuehua, "Where’s Ning Hui?"

"Maybe with Secretary Li," guessed Yang Xuehua.

Xia Xiao thought the same; ever since Li Zhenchuan withheld her documents, Ning Hui had been visiting him every few days to request them.

"Sister Xuehua, I’m going to visit Sister Yuhua. Do you want to come?" Xia Xiao put the letter away into her space.

"Sure," Yang Xuehua nodded.

Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua then went to visit the Gao family to see Sun Yuhua. Since becoming pregnant, Sun Yuhua had become even weirder in temperament, and now that she was about to give birth, her mood was worse than ever.

Despite harboring apprehension towards Gao Guoqiang and Sun Yuhua, her temper flared privately at Gao Jiazhi. Gao Jiazhi was also understanding of the difficulty of Sun Yuhua’s pregnancy, so he always accommodated her.

When they arrived, they heard Sun Yuhua say to Zheng Xianghong, "Mom, I want to eat an egg. Can you boil one for me, please?"

"Didn’t you just finish eating? I’m sewing clothes for your dad. I’ll boil it for you in a bit," replied Zheng Xianghong.

"When does dad’s clothing not need mending? Boiling an egg doesn’t take much time."

As soon as Sun Yuhua said this, Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua, who were at the door, felt too embarrassed to make a sound.

Zheng Xianghong felt that Sun Yuhua was too indulged and didn’t want to always give in to her, especially since Sun Yuhua had only just finished eating and now wanted a boiled egg, insisting that Zheng Xianghong put aside her ongoing task.

"Your dad only has these two pieces of clothing. If I don’t mend them, he won’t have anything else to wear when he needs to change. There’s still some leftover rice in the pot. If you’re hungry, you can have that to fill your stomach for now," said Zheng Xianghong.

Immediately, Sun Yuhua retreated to her room and slammed the door shut, a sound that was clearly audible to Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua standing at the entrance. They too felt uncomfortable entering now and turned to walk back.

"Sun Yuhua’s temper seems to be getting worse," said Yang Xuehua.

Xia Xiao nodded in agreement, also feeling that Sun Yuhua was getting out of line. A mother-in-law isn’t some sort of maid, but with a pregnancy, she’s acting like some grand empress, throwing tantrums and slamming doors at the slightest displeasure.

"Yuhua takes for granted the good fortune she’s in. Look at Dong Meihua. On the surface, Li Shengmei is kind to her, but in reality, she thinks about that belly every single day, and Dong Meihua hasn’t been spared from the chores either."

Yang Xuehua said, "Sun Yuhua is being foolish. She doesn’t know yet whether it’s a boy or a girl in her belly, and here she is carrying on like this. What if it turns out to be a girl? If the mother-in-law becomes indifferent, won’t she find herself in a tough spot?"

Continuing, Yang Xuehua added, "My grandmother also favored boys over girls. When my mother was pregnant with me, I heard my grandmother’s face stretched a mile long, completely ignoring my mother. My mom had to take care of herself and me during her confinement."

"Her own aunt gave birth to three daughters and treats all of them well, so she probably wouldn’t favor sons over daughters. However, if Yuhua continues like this, she’ll suffer for it sooner or later. Her aunt has endured her own mother-in-law’s displeasure, and she’s certainly not someone who’s willing to take nonsense from her daughters-in-law."

"Yeah, Zheng Xianghong has two sons, not just one," agreed Xia Xiao.

Upon saying this, Xia Xiao commented, "It wouldn’t be because of me giving her eggs previously that Yuhua has developed a habit of eating eggs, would it? If that’s the case, I really made a mistake."

Yang Xuehua shook her head and laughed, "Definitely not. Eggs are good stuff, who wouldn’t want to eat them? Sun Yuhua just has a craving for eggs. She’s already eaten, so it can’t be hunger, and even if she were hungry, this isn’t how one should have eggs."

Xia Xiao nodded. Sun Yuhua treated eggs like snacks, so Xia Xiao couldn’t help but feel that she was in the wrong. If she hadn’t started giving eggs to Sun Yuhua like that, perhaps Sun Yuhua wouldn’t have the urge for them now.

Seeing Zheng Xianghong bearing the brunt of the strain made Xia Xiao feel somewhat guilty.

As Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua walked back, Zheng Xianghong, upon witnessing Sun Yuhua slam the door, felt a mix of anger and suffocation. Previously, she thought Sun Yuhua was just a prideful young lady who didn’t bother with others, but now she realized Sun Yuhua’s true temperament. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Before long, Gao Guoqiang returned. Seeing Sun Yuhua’s door still shut tight, Zheng Xianghong couldn’t help but mutter a few words to Gao Guoqiang about the size of her anger.

Puzzled, Gao Guoqiang said, "Next time, just have Jiazhi come back and boil it for her."

The corner of Zheng Xianghong’s mouth twitched, and she gave Gao Guoqiang a fierce glare, thinking he had spoken too loudly. Little did she know that Gao Guoqiang had intentionally raised his voice to be heard by Sun Yuhua inside the room.

Hearing this, Sun Yuhua, inside the room, bit her blanket in anger, but she didn’t dare to come out and make a scene.

When Gao Jiazhi returned, Sun Yuhua let out her frustration on him, causing an argument to erupt between them.
