Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After some instructions from Xu Fugui, Xu Lianxiang and her daughter-in-law left the cinema satisfied.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xu Lianxiang did not forget to give instructions to her daughter-in-law.

"Jingru, go back and do what your father tells you to do. Keep this matter to yourself and don't let it slip."

"I understand, Mom." Qin Jingru nodded quickly.

After all, she is not so stupid as to tell others about such things.

I'm afraid she just wanted to let Xu Damao know that her life is over.

……

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked and chatted like this. When they passed by the vegetable market, Xu Lianxiang bought two old hens from an old farmer in the countryside without using a ticket, intending to take them home to nourish her daughter-in-law.

Soon, the two returned to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing several middle-aged women at the door, Xu Lianxiang knew that it was her turn to perform.

"Hey! Are all the ladies here?"

The middle-aged ladies at the door just saw Xu Lianxiang coming back.

Now looking at the old hen in her hand, Aunt Yan's eyes lit up.

"Yes! I was just chatting when I had nothing to do. Aunt Xu, you haven't been back to the hospital for a long time. What's the matter with you today...?"

As she spoke, Aunt Yan's eyes were fixed on the two old hens, wondering if she could take advantage of them.

How could Xu Lianxiang not know what she was thinking? She just wanted to take advantage of her.

But today, she really planned to let Aunt Yan take advantage of this opportunity. This was also part of her plan.

So she started her performance according to the script she had prepared in advance.

"Hi! Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter-in-law is pregnant! Let's buy two chickens for her to nourish her body."

After listening to Xu Lianxiang's words, the entire entrance fell silent. Several middle-aged women looked at each other, wondering what they were thinking.

As we all know, Xu Damao is infertile, just like a rooster that never treads into the nest.

But what is the matter with Qin Jingru's pregnancy? How did she get pregnant?

When Xu Lianxiang saw everyone's reactions, she knew what they were thinking, but she didn't panic and continued to make up her story.

"Maybe you don't know this? My son has completely recovered since taking Chinese medicine. I asked the doctor, and he said he wants to have a child, and there is no problem at all."

"Really?" Although Aunt Yan was a little unconvinced, she still hoped it was true.

Because her eldest son also has this problem. Even if her son does not get along with them, he is still her own child. Who can bear to see their son die without a family?

"Why would I lie to you? This is the hospital's diagnosis. My daughter-in-law's pregnancy is the best proof. If you don't believe me, take a look."

As she spoke, Xu Lianxiang pretended to be a ghost and took out a hospital diagnosis from her pocket, ready to show it to everyone.

But the aunties at the door can't read a single word, so what can you see?

Then Xu Lianxiang started to beat and hit them, saying that she would not be in the courtyard in the future and asked a few aunts to help take care of her daughter-in-law.

For example, when killing a chicken or fish, help hold it...etc.

Of course, there are many corresponding benefits. If you help to kill the chicken, you can take away the chicken offal. If you help out on a regular basis, you can get some cornmeal. Later, you can get two eggs to share in the good fortune...

With so many favorable conditions, these aunties have become more humane and have expressed their willingness to help.

……

As they were chatting, Xu Lianxiang noticed that her daughter-in-law was sleepy, so she said hello and walked towards the backyard.

When she got home, Qin Jingru was puzzled when she thought about the benefits she had just promised to give to those aunts.

"Mom, I can kill that chicken. It's not that delicate and doesn't need anyone's help. Why should I let outsiders take advantage of it?"

"Jingru, how could your mother not know what you said? I am doing this to shut them up so that they won't talk nonsense outside.

Think about it, if they get the benefit, they will definitely speak well of you outside. Who will doubt that the baby in the belly is not Damao's? "

I have to say that Xu Lianxiang is really good at calculating. This trick seems simple but is very practical.

So as time passed, by the afternoon, the surrounding neighbors had already known the news, and it was not negative news.

When everyone was talking about it, they consciously ignored the fact that Xu Damao was infertile, and instead all praised the Chinese medicine.

……

In the evening, it was time for the workers to get off work. Due to the special nature of Xu Damao's work, he always came home earlier than others unless there was a movie showing.

Today was no exception. He rode his 28-inch bicycle back to the gate of the courtyard early in the morning.

As soon as Yan Bugui saw the main person coming back and remembered what his wife said, he hurried to greet him, ready to flatter him first.

"Da Mao, slow down, slow down. Grandpa congratulates you! How come you are hiding such a big thing from me?"

"Uh..." Xu Damao's brain was a little out of sorts. "No, Master Yan, what did I hide? Also, where did this joy come from? How come I didn't know about it?"

Seeing that Xu Damao didn't know anything, Yan Bugui guessed that he might not know yet, so he became even more excited.

"Da Mao, I congratulate you because you are going to be a father soon. Why are you still pretending?"

"That's right! Damao, we've all seen your wife's pregnancy diagnosis. Your mother accompanied her to the hospital, so it can't be fake."

Aunt Yan was still thinking about the benefits, so she quickly joined in to try to get a good start.

"My wife is pregnant?" Xu Damao was silent, feeling very complicated.

You want to say happy? If it is his own child, he will definitely be happy, and happier than anyone else.

But I’m infertile, so whose child is this?

"Thank you, Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan, for letting me know. I'll go back and take a look first."

With such complicated emotions, Xu Damao did not say anything on the spot. He thanked him tactfully and prepared to go back to the backyard to find out clearly.

"Da Mao, on such a happy occasion, don't forget to give us the eggs you promised, so that we neighbors can share in the joy."

Seeing Xu Damao was about to leave, Yan Bugui reminded him and then turned around and said happily to his wife.

"This kid, Damao, must be so happy."

Xu Damao ignored all this and hurried to the backyard.

As a result, before he even reached the backyard, he had already smelled a strong fragrance. He knew without even looking that it was chicken soup.

This further verified what Yan Bugui said, that his wife was pregnant, and making chicken soup was definitely for nutritional supplement.

Soon, he returned to the door of his house. Restraining his inner impulse, Xu Damao just shouted into the house as usual.

"Jingru, I'm back."

Qin Jingru, who was in the room, heard the shouting and came out happily like a cheerful lark.

"Brother Damao, I have good news for you. I'm pregnant. Here's the report from the hospital. Take a look."

Looking at his daughter-in-law holding the report form with a big red seal on it, Xu Damao's entire brain was rapidly filled with blood, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
