Chapter 393: Is Her Daughter-in-law Coming?
She was brought back to Huaiyang, the place that had borne too many of her joys, sorrows, and delights in her past life.
Perhaps there is a destiny ordained in the dark.
In this life, she was named Shen Yuan by Li Xuan; from now on, this would be her new identity.
In her past life, Shen Yuan was her aunt, yet she lived a pathetic and laughable life; this time, she would live the identity of Shen Yuan beautifully and colorfully.
Hearing that Shen Lan wanted to rely on selling rat poison at the Black Market to make money, she especially wanted to stop him.
How should one put it regarding the two of them, Shen Lan and Li Xuan? They have a little bit of cleverness, but not much.
They thought that selling more rat poison would earn more money.
She even guessed the intentions of Li Xuan and Shen Lan; they could harden their hearts to kill the cats nearby.
But this matter could not last long; as soon as one waited a while longer, the Reform and Opening-up would arrive, and doing business would be legal then.
It was a pity that she could not speak yet.
But it did not matter; when she grew up, everything would get better.
She must be the chosen one to have experienced Rebirth, the luckiest one among all living beings.
Most importantly, she must win over Jiang Sinian this time.
From Li Xuan's mouth, she learned that Si Rong had just given birth to children a few days ago.
But in fact, Si Rong should have remarried Jiang Cheng at the age of forty before giving birth to Jiang Sinian and his sister.
In this life, there was no such thing as Si Rong remarrying; it seemed it was all because of herself, because Heaven had arranged her Rebirth, and naturally, it would also arrange a matching partner for her.
Calculated this way, Si Rong should actually thank her.
They had no deep hatred or resentment in their past life; reaching that point in the end was all Si Rong's fault for inexplicably opposing her being with Jiang Sinian.
If she had just let her be with Jiang Sinian properly, where would all that mess later have come from!
Bai Mo—no, from now on she would be called Shen Yuan—she only hoped to grow up quickly so that she could see Jiang Sinian sooner.
That was the man she truly loved in her past life.
She hoped that in this life, that annoying Jiang Yue would no longer be by his side.
……
Si Rong had finally finished her month of postpartum confinement; listening to the two mothers, she hadn't washed her hair for the entire month, which was truly unbearable.
She felt that their family didn't need to add oil when stir-frying dishes now; they could just put her hair in and spin it a few times to cook.
After washing and feeling refreshed, Si Rong couldn't wait to go out for a stroll.
If she hadn't sat through a month of confinement, she wouldn't have known that she was actually an extroverted person.
She felt that once she was out of the courtyard, the air was even better.
Not long after she walked out the door, she ran into Jiang Dacheng.
"Huh? Are you not working today?" Si Rong asked curiously; Jiang Cheng had gone to work early in the morning.
"Sister-in-law, I took the day off," Jiang Dacheng said, feeling a bit embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head, "Tingting is not feeling well."
Seeing that they were already at their doorstep, Si Rong followed behind him, "What's wrong with Tingting? I'll go take a look."
"She said her stomach hurts a bit."
Si Rong went in and saw Fang Ting lying on the bed sleeping; hearing the sound, she lifted her eyelids to look at them, her expression still listless.
"You're here? Aren't you in postpartum confinement?"
"I just finished my confinement today, so I came to see you. Is your stomach hurting?"
Si Rong sat by the bed and reached out to touch her forehead, "Your body temperature seems normal; why don't you go to the hospital to get it checked?"
"I'm fine," Fang Ting didn't like going to the hospital when she felt unwell, "I should be fine after a sleep."
She had always been like this; because of years of training, her body was very good, and usually, if she caught a cold, she would just drink some hot water, sleep, and sweat it out, and she would be fine.
"Then what if you're pregnant?"
Si Rong asked her, "Can you sleep that off too?"
"Pregnant?" Fang Ting and Jiang Dacheng looked at each other.
Si Rong could tell from the clear eyes of these two people that neither of these two simpletons had thought in that direction.
"That's right, you've been married for several months now, so it's normal to be pregnant."
It seemed that her daughter-in-law was coming.
Yay!
Now the facilities were all complete, and she, as a mother-in-law, could finally rest easy.
Fang Ting was still unwilling to go to the hospital, and Jiang Dacheng could only pace around anxiously by himself.
"Let's go get checked!"
"What's there to check about being pregnant?" Fang Ting pointed at Si Rong, "She just gave birth, and she had twins at once, so she must have experience. I'll just learn from her later, won't that work?"
Si Rong: ……
Although, however, why did she feel that something was a bit awkward?
Learn to give birth from her?
Now Si Rong knew where the awkwardness was; she had never heard of anyone saying they wanted to learn how to give birth.
"Well, Dacheng, you go out first; I'll try to persuade her."
Fang Ting lay on the bed, rubbing her stomach, "Don't persuade me; I'm just a person who doesn't like going to the hospital. My dad died of illness in the hospital back then. Besides, giving birth shouldn't be that hard, right? My Nainai often said that when a woman gives birth, it's like a hen laying an egg. Do you feel it's the same as a hen laying an egg?"
Si Rong: ……
"I'm not a hen, so how would I know if it's hard for a hen to lay an egg? But I think eggs are round and have smooth surfaces, while a child has a head, arms, and legs, so it must be harder."
Huh? Why was she actually analyzing it?
"First of all, you still need to go to the hospital to check if you are pregnant; what if it's just a regular stomach ache?"
If she isn't pregnant, I must quickly help her produce a daughter-in-law!
"Ordinary stomachaches certainly wouldn't keep hurting; if I were pregnant, it would definitely be bulging after a few months. I'll go get checked before I give birth," Fang Ting compromised.
"Alright then," Si Rong didn't want to force her; in her past life, it seemed Fang Ting's childbirth went quite smoothly, "I'm telling you, if you have a boy, he's going to be a son-in-law for my family, and if it's a girl, she'll be a daughter-in-law for my family. If it's not your own child, you must be cautious!"
"In your dreams!" Fang Ting rolled her eyes at her.
"Then I'll head home first," Si Rong said, "If you rest for a while and still feel uncomfortable, you must go to the hospital, do you hear me?"
"I hear you." Fang Ting felt a warmth in her heart.
She thought that it would be quite nice if she and Si Rong became in-laws in the future.
No sooner had Si Rong returned than Ming Zi arrived.
"I've come to invite you to watch a good show, want to see it?"
"I do." Si Rong didn't hesitate.
However, now that she was a mother, the steps for going out had become a bit more cumbersome.
First, she had to feed the two little ones; with Hu Qian and Wu Shen helping to look after them, she felt very at ease.
Just before leaving, Hu Qian even made her put on a hat.
"A woman in postpartum recovery must wear a hat for a full two months, otherwise your head won't be able to stand the wind later on."
Si Rong obediently put on the hat, "I know, thank you, Mom."
I don't know where Ming Zi got a bicycle, but she carried her on it and sped all the way toward the Black Market.
"Your mother-in-law is really good to you," Ming Zi said enviously, "Better than my mom is to me. But, Rongrong, you deserve it."
"She really is very good," Si Rong hugged Ming Zi, "A-Zi will definitely meet a very good person in the future too."
"Mm, I've already met you."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they hurried to the Black Market.
It was in a small grove, and to get inside, one had to pass along a small dirt path.
Ming Zi pulled her to hide in the shadows, and before long, they saw Shen Lan.
Wearing a hat, dressed in black clothes, and carrying a handbag, he looked quite furtive.
Suddenly, after walking only a few steps, Shen Lan seemed to have discovered something and walked toward the tree where they were hiding.
