The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 238

Although Chunnuan doesn't like crowds, she doesn't skip any of the proper etiquette.

Even with a huge belly, she didn't slack off.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit down."

The older sister-in-law quickly helped her sit down next to her.

Looking at the three brothers sitting below the old man, the two sisters-in-law smiled at each other.

To be honest, the three Zhao brothers are quite good-looking; they're the kind of people whose looks grow on you.

The eldest brother is very composed; as the elder brother, he is like a father to his children, and he is always very dignified and meticulous.

When spring warmed up, I looked at my eldest sister-in-law again. She was very good; she certainly had the demeanor of a matriarch.

This pair is a very successful match.

It must be said that Zhou, the mother-in-law, has good taste; she knows how to choose a daughter-in-law.

This is also the premise of the Zhao brothers' friendly relations.

If there's even one troublemaker, life won't be easy.

Just like Aunt Huang back then, even though her family was living a hard life, she had many ideas and thought she could be unique and make a living by relying on the Huang family, disregarding the reputation of the Xiao family.

In the end, her daughter resented her, her aunt scolded her with a stern face, and she still felt wronged, even though she had made herself sick.

After another ordeal, she finally realized her mistake, and things are only starting to improve now.

In short, apart from their own mother, who was forgiving, the third sister-in-law, Huang, was rather petty.

The Zhao family will have three sisters-in-law in the future. As it stands, the eldest sister-in-law is not bad, but the second sister-in-law... is still a long way off, so I don't really care.

She has always been a person who doesn't compete with others.

If things are going well, we'll talk more; if not, we'll stay far away.

As for arguments or gossip, she had no such thoughts.

"My sister-in-law is definitely having a son this time."

"Is your sister-in-law good at judging people?"

Whether it's a man or a woman, Chunnuan can tell by her own pulse, but she never made a point of taking her pulse.

She didn't care about gender; both men and women came from her womb and were her bloodline. Zhao Minghua had also made it clear that he liked them both.

So it's good that she left the answer to the end, adding a touch of mystery.

“A pointed belly means it’s a boy, a round belly means it’s a girl, you can’t be wrong.” Sister-in-law Zhao said with great experience: “When I was pregnant with my son, my belly was the same shape as yours; when I was pregnant with my daughter, it was round, you really can’t be wrong.”

"Guess what I'll get this time?"

After saying that, Sister-in-law Zhao even touched her round belly.

"How many months pregnant is your sister-in-law?"

Hmm, why haven't I heard anyone mention that she's pregnant again?

Good grief, it makes it seem like I don't care about her at all, I didn't even know how many months pregnant she was.

"I'm almost five months pregnant," said Sister-in-law Zhao. "I'm hoping it's a boy, so that Yan-ge will have someone to help him."

Chunnuan said: You are amazing. You are only two years older than me and you already have three children.

Indeed, the earlier you plant rice seedlings, the earlier you harvest rice; the earlier you have children, the earlier you enjoy happiness.

The two sisters-in-law shared their experiences of pregnancy, and Zhao Dasao, being thoughtful, even offered Chunnuan some childbirth advice.

However, Chunnuan felt that what she said was quite frightening. If she weren't a doctor who had never delivered a baby herself, she probably would have been scared to tears by her words.

So sometimes, good intentions don't necessarily lead to good results.

Chunnuan expressed her sincere gratitude to her.

Spring warmth didn't want to hear any more of these scary things, so she changed the subject.

Sister-in-law Zhao is also a gossipy person and an interesting one.

She immediately shared some gossip about the second young master. "By the way, sister-in-law, do you think it's why Uncle is leaving Changzhou for the capital so soon?"

He's supposed to take the spring exam next year, but he's leaving now.

"It's because I can get to the capital city sooner, find a courtyard to stay in, start studying earlier, and adapt to the climate and food there sooner, so as to avoid getting sick from the change in environment."

"That's not how it works. Let me tell you, the real reason is..."

Chunnuan was stunned when she heard the reason.

"The youngest daughter of the Master's family has taken a fancy to the second brother?"

Sigh, I was even thinking that if it were the right time, I could really play matchmaker for Qiuyan and the second young master of the Zhao family.

After all, it's good for best friends to become sisters-in-law; everyone knows each other well and there aren't many hidden agendas.

Who knew that fate wouldn't bring us together?

"Yes," Sister-in-law Zhao smiled mysteriously, covering her mouth as she said, "However, our second uncle disagreed and refused outright. Tsk, the little girl cried so hard. Second uncle was scared and had no choice but to say goodbye to the teacher early and hurry to the capital."

"To be honest, that young lady is quite pretty, but my second uncle doesn't even like her," said Sister-in-law Zhao. "I guess it's because he feels she's too young."

Spring warmth, being the gossip it is, asked about her age.

Okay, fourteen!

Chunnuan felt a little embarrassed to call someone so much younger than herself "Second Sister-in-law".

This fourteen-year-old girl is really bold; she knows how to make a move so early at such a young age.

“His teacher’s wife came specifically to ask me to inquire about the reason for my second uncle.”

It seems that the Master's family also likes him very much.

“I asked, and my second uncle said he only treated her like a younger sister, and had no other feelings for her.”

This immediately made the little girl cry, and she said she didn't want to be a younger sister.

"What a pity, the girl is in love but the boy is not interested. It's such a shame to have such a good match."

Chunnuan pursed her lips.

What constitutes a good marriage? A good marriage is one where happiness flows to both partners.

It's pointless for one person to be enthusiastic while barbering; the one who gives is willing, and the one who receives feels entitled.

This is not a good match.

“I was thinking that my second uncle has very good taste, so he probably wouldn’t be interested in girls from ordinary families.”

Chunnuan didn't agree; she really couldn't see through Zhao Erge.

Zhao Minghua kept calling his second brother a bookworm, thinking he had gone stupid from studying too much.

However, in Chunnuan's opinion, he was a kind of wise man who appeared foolish.

Judging from his attitude and tone when he spoke to the old man and Zhao Chengxun, he didn't seem like someone who had become dull from studying. He was polite, his tone was fair, and he was neither humble nor arrogant. Chunnuan saw the integrity of a scholar in him, as well as the temperament of an official.

Yes, that's right. Chunnuan thinks that the second brother of the Zhao family is indeed a person tailor-made for officialdom. It seems that there is a reason why he has such clear goals.

I just don't understand why Zhao Minghua would smear him?

My second brother?

Why do you always criticize people for reading silly books?

Is this jealousy?

When he thought about how Zhao Minghua was also a capable person, well, it seemed that he wasn't jealous of his second brother. It's just that some people are just born to dislike each other, what's commonly known as being incompatible.

Chunnuan chuckled to herself at the thought.

"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"

Spring is here... My bad, I forgot I was chatting with my sister-in-law.

"I just laughed and said that if my second brother marries a sister-in-law, all three of us sisters-in-law will be together."

"That's true," Sister-in-law Zhao said with a smile. "But I'm worried that if Second Uncle marries into a wealthy and powerful family, she might look down on people like us from humble backgrounds."
