Chapter 117 This family is very strange
Fu Leyi: "Mom, you haven't eaten yet?"
"It's okay. I'm feeling dizzy from the car ride and have no appetite at all. I'll rest for a while and eat later."
"That's fine."
Wang winked at her son, and the two left one after the other.
After closing the door, Fu Leyi asked, "Mom, why did you suddenly come over?"
"I just came to see you, what else could I do?"
"Just here to take a look?"
"What else could I do? Ah Yi is on vacation right now, and he happened to be free, so I asked him to come with me. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to come alone once he goes back to work."
Ok?
"Ah Yi is here too?"
"Yes, we're eating out."
Wang listened secretly outside for a while and breathed a sigh of relief.
Once they were a distance away, she pulled Pan Hong aside and whispered, "Your mother-in-law just came to visit, right?"
"How would I know? She never said she was coming. I only found out now."
Wang: "..."
"Hmph, showing up here suddenly, who knows what they want." Wang pushed Pan Hong and said, "Let me tell you, we can't let your mother-in-law take your wife away. You have to do everything you can to keep her here to give birth."
"Don't worry, the obstetrician at that clinic is my friend. I already told her to tell Fu Leyi that she needs to rest in bed and can't travel long distances. Her whole family is very nervous about this pregnancy. If she doesn't listen to me, can she not listen to the doctor?"
"That's true." Wang thought for a moment and then said, "If they're just coming to visit, that's fine. You should take good care of them and serve your wife well so they can rest assured."
"That's for sure, but Mom also needs to talk to the rest of the family, especially my sister-in-law. Fu Leyi gets chicken soup but she doesn't, and she's quite unhappy about it. Tell her to tone it down so my mother-in-law doesn't notice."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The two went to the front hall for dinner, one after the other.
Pan Hong chatted warmly with Fu Huaiyi, asking him why he had come so suddenly. Fu Huaiyi replied that he had come with his aunt.
My aunt was afraid to travel far by herself, so he came along since he was on vacation recently.
His words were similar to what Zhang Fangfang had said, and they were finally relieved.
Inside the house, after the mother and son had gone far away, Zhang Fangfang whispered to Fu Leyi, "We've come to take you back."
Fu Leyi looked at her in surprise.
Zhang Fangfang took a deep breath and said, "With Pan Hong and your mother-in-law here just now, I couldn't say anything. I can't just say I want to take you away as soon as I arrive; people might overthink it."
Fu Leyi nodded and said, "Originally, we planned to go back because the temperature in Nancheng dropped. Pan Hong said that we should go to the hospital for a check-up first, listen to the doctor's advice, and see what the best course of action would be. I thought that made sense, so we went together."
Unexpectedly, after the checkup, the doctor said my pregnancy wasn't going well and I had signs of miscarriage. They told me to rest in bed for a week and come back for a follow-up checkup. Even if you didn't come, I would have gone back in a few days anyway.
Zhang Fangfang frowned slightly. If this was true, then they were overthinking it.
Thinking too badly of others makes them seem like the ones who are wrong.
"Then let's go get it checked tomorrow."
"Huh? Tomorrow? So soon?"
"What else can we do? Ah Yi only has a few days off, we can't let him stay at work."
Fu Leyi pouted and muttered, "They told me to stay in bed for a week before going for a follow-up check-up. There are still two days left in a week. If I go now, won't they complain a bit? The doctors here aren't very nice."
Zhang Fangfang tapped her forehead and said, "Are you stupid? Didn't you know to go to another hospital?"
"Hmm, that seems to be true. My mom is really smart."
As she spoke, Fu Leyi went to hug her.
Zhang Fangfang was secretly pleased, but her face showed a look of disdain.
"Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, I think you really are. Alright, alright, you should rest now, I'm starving, I'm going to eat."
"Okay, then go and eat."
She went out to eat, but everyone else had already finished eating, and the food was cold.
Mrs. Wang quickly went to heat up the food for her and told her to sit down for a while.
Actually, there wasn't much left. People in the countryside are quite hungry, and there's hardly any leftover food at each meal.
Zhang Fangfang and Fu Huaiyi came unexpectedly and didn't cook for them at all.
Wang asked her youngest daughter to cook another half pot of noodles so that it would be barely enough for them to eat.
When entertaining your mother-in-law, plain flour is definitely not enough.
She took out a few more eggs, fried them, and brought them to her.
“Mother-in-law, please make do with this for today. Tomorrow I’ll have Pan Hong go and buy two pounds of meat.”
Zhang Fangfang smiled and said, "This is fine. Mother-in-law, don't bother, I can do it myself."
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare a room for you."
"Don't bother cleaning for me, but help my nephew clean out a room instead. Xiaoyi and I will have to make do for now."
“This…” Wang’s expression stiffened, but she still smiled and said, “Alright, let Pan Hong and Xiao Fu make do tonight.”
The Pan family's house is newly built and has quite a few rooms, but there are also many family members.
Pan Hong's father passed away many years ago, and now the Wang family is in charge.
He has an older brother who is married, and the two of them share a room.
They had a ten-year-old daughter who shared a room with her grandmother, Wang.
In addition, Pan Hong has two unmarried sisters who live in another room, and Pan Hong and Fu Leyi live in another room, making a total of four rooms.
There's also a storage room for farm tools. If we tidy it up and lay out the drying racks, it can barely be considered a room.
With five rooms—a main hall, a dining room, a kitchen, a woodshed, and pigsties and chicken and duck pens—their house was already the biggest and best in the village.
Many families are crammed together.
Fu Huaiyi didn't say much throughout the entire process and seemed frighteningly cold.
He stared at the small wooden board, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
How am I supposed to sleep like this?
He didn't want to squeeze in with Pan Hong.
Thinking that there were plenty of chairs in the restaurant, he said to Wang, "Aunt Wang, could you bring me a few stools?"
Wang, who was making the bed, asked, "Huh? What are you doing with the stool?"
"This bed is too big for me, I'll sleep on the stool."
Wang: "..."
"That won't do." She had already planned to entertain them well and send them off quickly; how could she let the guests sleep on the benches?
She looked at the plank; it was indeed small, not big enough to fit two big men.
"You sleep on the bed, and I'll let your brother-in-law sleep on the stool later."
"Isn't this not good?"
Wang laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it. When we were poor, we had nowhere to sleep, so he slept on straw on the floor for several years."
Ok?
Should we lay grass on the floor?
Only dogs sleep like that.
Fu Huaiyi didn't say much, since it wasn't him sleeping there anyway.
He casually thanked Wang and then sat down on the cool bed.
Seeing this, Wang told him to rest early and then left.
As soon as she left, Fu Huaiyi locked the door from the inside.
After Wang came out, she pulled Pan Hong aside.
"What does your brother-in-law do?"
