Chapter 44 Jiang He is pregnant

Regardless of what Jiang He thought, after cleaning up and adding some pots and pans, Jiang Man and Wang Xiu's small restaurant officially opened for business.

Perhaps because of her mishap while selling steamed buns, Jiang He behaved herself well until the Lunar New Year.

"vomit……"

Jiang He had just finished making breakfast when a strong wave of nausea suddenly surged up her throat. Before she could react, she rushed to the spittoon in the corner and covered her mouth, vomiting violently.

Lin Yanqing was still asleep when the sudden noise woke her up.

He quickly got up, slipped on his slippers, and ran to Jiang He's side. He gently patted her back and asked with a worried expression, "He'er, what's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"

Jiang He was pale, shook her head, and said weakly, "I don't know, I just suddenly feel very uncomfortable."

Seeing Jiang He's discomfort, Lin Yanqing frowned. He quickly poured her a glass of warm water to rinse her mouth and then said, "Let's go to the hospital. I can't rest easy here."

On the way, Jiang He leaned against Lin Yanqing's chest, her stomach still churning and her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

After arriving at the hospital and undergoing a series of examinations, it was finally confirmed that she was pregnant.

"Congratulations, you are two months pregnant. Morning sickness is a normal reaction."

Lin Yanqing was stunned at first, then his handsome face was instantly filled with ecstasy. He turned around abruptly and hugged Jiang He tightly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "He'er, we're going to have a child!"

Jiang He's eyes, which had been dimmed by discomfort, now sparkled with happiness. A blush crept onto her pale cheeks. Although she was still feeling unwell, her heart was overflowing with the joy of becoming a mother.

"Yan Qing, I... I'm pregnant! We're going to be parents!"

"Come on! I'll take you home and tell Mom the good news."

Lin Yanqing took Jiang He home.

Lin's mother had always had some reservations about Jiang He. Jiang He was from an ordinary rural family, and their financial situation was not good.

Lin's mother always felt that Jiang He was not good enough for her outstanding son, and she was very critical of Jiang He in daily life.

They either complain that she doesn't do housework meticulously enough, or that she's not efficient enough in her work.

Jiang He had repeatedly expressed her gratitude for living in the countryside with Lin Yanqing; otherwise, she might have been tormented by Lin's mother in the city.

"Mom, we're back!"

Lin Yanqing led Jiang He into the house, where Lin's mother was watching TV.

The moment Jiang He saw Lin's mother, her expression turned sour, and she immediately became reserved.

"Hey, it's not a holiday or anything, why are you back all of a sudden?"

As Lin's mother spoke sarcastically, Lin Yanqing walked over with a smile and said, "Mom, we have good news for you. He'er is pregnant!"

When Lin's mother heard the news of Jiang He's pregnancy, her brows furrowed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed quickly in her eyes, a mixture of instinctive anticipation for the new life and deep-seated dislike for Jiang He.

"pregnant?"

Lin's mother stood up and said, "This is good news. Yanqing, come with me to buy some groceries. We'll cook two dishes for your wife when we get back at noon."

After leaving home, Lin's mother lowered her voice but couldn't hide her urgency as she said, "Son, you don't really want to bring her back to the city when you go back, do you? You'll be back after the New Year. Your father has already arranged a job for you at the factory. There will be plenty of good girls out there. What is Jiang He compared to that?" Lin's mother's words were full of concern for her son's future. In her mind, Jiang He was just an ordinary rural girl who was not good enough for her well-off son.

She desperately hoped that her son could return to the city, get a good job in the factory, and then marry a woman of equal social standing who could help him in his career and life, instead of staying in the countryside with Jiang He for the rest of his life.

Lin Yanqing stood there, her face calm, having already made her decision.

He nodded slightly and said, "I know, but now that she's pregnant, she has to have the baby. I'll find a reason to divorce her before I go back to the city, so don't worry."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the quiet village. Lin Yanqing and Jiang He walked side by side on the path leading into the village, both carrying large and small bags.

Lin Yanqing stood tall and walked steadily, while Jiang He's steps were slightly slower due to her pregnancy, but she could not hide the joy on her face.

As soon as they stepped into the village, the villagers' eyes were drawn to them.

Aunt Zhang from next door curiously came over and asked, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang He's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels as she said with undisguised pride, "I'm newly pregnant, and my mother-in-law said she should buy more to help me recover."

Her eyes gleamed with smugness, as if this were something to be proud of.

Wang Xiu was sitting at her doorstep picking vegetables when she heard this. She scoffed and said to Jiang Man beside her, "As if she's the only one who's going to get pregnant. I don't know what she's showing off!"

Jiang Man was focused on her needlework and only slightly raised her head, not paying much attention. She simply replied casually, "Let her be. Let her show off if she wants to."

In the evening, Jiang Man went to pick up Shi An and Shi Ning from school as usual.

Suddenly, Jiang He appeared not far away.

She was wearing a brand new outfit today, and even though she wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy yet, she insisted on holding her waist.

When Jiang He saw Jiang Man, a subtle smile appeared on her lips. Then she rolled her eyes and deliberately shouted, "Hey, I got married so much later than you, how come you're still not pregnant? Have you been busy being a stepmother? If you ask me, a woman still needs to have her own children."

Her voice was sharp and loud, instantly attracting the attention of many people around her.

"You're so proud of being pregnant, but you should be careful whether Lin Yanqing takes you with him when he returns to the city next year."

Just as Jiang Man finished speaking, Shi An and Shi Ning came out.

Upon seeing Jiang Man, each person took one of her hands.

"Mom, our teacher said today that when dogs fight, they all get into fights, so we shouldn't stoop to the level of a small dog."

"Yes, yes, Mom, we won't stoop to the dog's level."

Jiang Man laughed out loud at Shi An and Shi Ning's childish words, while Jiang He turned green with anger.

What are you doing here?

Lin Yanqing's voice suddenly appeared behind her, startling Jiang He.

She turned to look at Lin Yanqing and said angrily, "You scared me!"

Lin Yanqing looked at Jiang Man's retreating figure and asked in confusion, "Is that Jiang Man?"

"Jiang Man, Jiang Man, is there nothing you can see but Jiang Man?!"
