1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 200 Look at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, it's truly enviable.
After everyone had left, Xia Qiu approached her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, won't my second sister-in-law blame us?"

Qiu's mother was afraid that her daughter-in-law would overthink things and affect her mood.

Without even greeting the gossiping neighbors, she pulled the person into the house and said, "What does this have to do with you? When you're in the later stages of pregnancy, it's inevitable to experience various symptoms. I guess she twisted her back because she stood there in one position for too long."

In front of her daughter-in-law, she suppressed the urge to say something like "serves her right": "Alright, don't think so much. Even if she dared to think that, your great-grandmother wouldn't have indulged her. If she hadn't caused trouble herself, this wouldn't have happened."

Xia Qiu was relieved.

Mrs. Qiu patted her hand: "Since you've already eaten at your in-laws' place, I'll go get you some water. Wash up and get some rest. You need to be careful during these first three months."

She didn't really want her daughter-in-law to go back, fearing she might overexert herself. But her family was building a new house, and her father had just returned from the hospital. It wouldn't be right to refuse her, so she could only give her a thousand and one instructions.

Now that he's back, he's finally under her nose, so she has to be extra careful.

Xia Qiu was a little embarrassed: "Mom, I can go by myself."

Mother Qiu waved her hand and said, "No, don't you see the people in the yard haven't left yet? They'll start asking you all sorts of questions again soon. Just wait inside."

Sure enough, as soon as Qiu's mother stepped out of the house, someone asked, "Where is Xia Qiu?"

Mrs. Qiu waved her hand and said, "She was frightened by the scene just now. I told her to rest inside."

Everyone naturally knew that Xia Qiu was pregnant.

However, this was all thanks to Zhang Shanmei. Xia Qiu originally planned to keep her pregnancy a secret for three months before telling anyone, but Zhang Shanmei's big mouth made it all out.

Hearing what Qiu's mother said, those who still wanted to inquire about Xia Qiu's family gave up their plans. After all, she was newly pregnant, and the pregnancy was still unstable. If anything went wrong, they couldn't bear the responsibility. Qiu's mother nimbly crossed the yard to the kitchen, scooped hot water from the large pot into a basin, tested the temperature and found it was a bit too hot, so she added some cold water before carrying it back.

Seeing Qiu's mother serving water to her daughter-in-law, someone laughed and said, "Shanfeng's wife is truly blessed to have found such a good mother-in-law like you."

Qiu's mother is a straightforward person: "I am truly blessed to have found a daughter-in-law as gentle as Xia Qiu."

Those who got along well with her laughed and said, "Look at their relationship with their mother-in-law, it's truly enviable."

Someone chimed in, "This is the precious grandson that Qiu Feng, as the mother-in-law, has been waiting for for more than half a year since the marriage. She has to cherish him. This is their second wife's first grandson, so it's only right that she takes good care of him."

"That's true, but Xia Qiu is a lucky girl. Her family was not well-off before, and she suffered a lot of bullying from Zhang Shanmei, but after she got pregnant, her family's fortunes turned around."

"According to you, it's not that Xia Qiu is blessed, but that the child in her womb is blessed."

"It really is."

Listening to the conversations outside, Qiu's mother's smile never faded. She also felt that the baby in Xia Qiu's belly was a lucky one. Otherwise, how could Xia Qiu's family have separated and moved out as soon as she got pregnant, and her younger sister have even received a government reward?

Well, this person is being a bit too arrogant. They're trying to transfer the good fortune of the Liu family to their own grandchildren.

Xia Qiu had just finished washing up when Qiu Shaofeng returned.

Both Qiu's mother and Xia Qiu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, asked at the same time: "How is it?"
