Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 37: The Pregnancy Uproar

When Su Danhong was pregnant for three months, Mother Ji didn't say anything about it. However, everyone in the village could see that Mother Ji went over to Su Danhong’s place very frequently recently and would go over four or five times a day.

The people in the village gossiped about it, and there were all kinds of theories. What’s more, some people wondered whether Su Danhong and the idle men in the village had been caught doing some inappropriate things by Mother Ji, so maybe that’s why she was being watched so closely.

Mother Ji was almost about to lash out. If they have had enough, I’ll stuff these busybody bastards up!

“Older sister, what's going on? Is there something in your family that you have caught that you need to watch so closely?” Mother Ji was full of anger and had no place to vent before this old woman Xu came to ask for more information in person.

“Damn you! That wife in your family is the one cheating! My Lao San’s wife is proper! I don't want anything to do with you—a lazy old woman with nothing better to do! Go take care of your mu of land! Don't come over looking for trouble and a scolding!” Mother Ji criticized her directly. If Aunt Yang hadn't stopped her, she would have scratched up old woman Xu’s orange peel face!

On New Year’s Eve, Lao San caught a pheasant and didn't bring it. Later, she knew that it was this evil woman who had deliberately told her daughter about it and wanted her daughter to make trouble. How could she have a peace of mind when it came to this old woman? It could be said that this was a new feud to the old hate!

Old woman Xu was criticized a lot and saw that Mother Ji still wanted to fight her. She slipped away without saying a word, but she didn't give up so easily and openly said things in the village.

“You all don’t know, but that slutty fox is cheating at night! She was sending someone out at sunrise and happened to bump into that old fool. It was only then that the old fool saw the heavens and earth and started going over there just to prevent her from cheating again!”

Old woman Xu spoke as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and it spread throughout the village at once.

However, it was those who were meddlesome that would gossip. In reality, Father Ji and Mother Ji had a very good reputation in the village.

They also got along with their neighbors, especially with Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun’s families, who were very grateful to Su Danhong, Father Ji, and Mother Ji.

Their salary of ten yuan a month could basically stabilize their family situation quickly.

People in the village would definitely have grain stored at home, and there was no need to buy fruits and vegetables. All they needed to buy was a little meat, soybean paste, rice, oil and salt. There was also no need to buy water. At this time, there was no electricity, let alone needing to pay electricity bills. Thus, the villagers saved a lot of money, about ten yuan a month.

Five yuan would be spent, but the other five yuan could basically be saved.

At this time, five yuan was not a small amount. If five yuan a month was saved, then that was about sixty yuan a year. Wasn’t this a huge sum of money?

How many years had Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan been separated from the family? Their family only had 70 or 80 yuan. There was also 200 yuan from Su Danhong on the first day of the New Year. This really let them straighten their backs and they dared to look at people with their nose high up in the village.

Since Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun worked for Su Danhong, they did not dare to say anything vulgar about their boss. The women did not care, but the idle men in the village dared to say something, so Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun fought them.

Their fighting skills were not low. Although both sides suffered in the end, they also severely suppressed this gossip.

Su Danhong smiled when she learned of this and went over with Mother Ji. Each family was given two jin of pork, the big and fat kind!

Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang were bursting with energy like chicken blood was injected into them. Every day, they came back from work to patrol the place. If anyone dared to spit out half a word, they would be absolutely impolite.

It was to the point where the people in the village did not dare to spread the gossip anymore. It was a pity for the wives of the two men. They thought there would be more than two jin of pork to eat. Unexpectedly, a surprise shut them up.

Their family’s lives were not easy. They relied on their shrewdness when the family separated. Although they were poor, it was not like anyone would dare to bully them.

Now that the men of their families were working at the boss’s farm, how could they not help if she was in trouble?

Xu Aidang's wife was Li Yucui, and Ji Hongjun's wife was Wang Honghua. They agreed to meet today.

Su Danhong welcomed them in, and when they saw that she was making children's clothes, they were shocked for a moment and asked, “Sister-in-law, are you making children's clothes?”

Su Danhong smiled and said, “It’s almost four months now. It’s time to prepare for it.”

Li Yucui and Wang Honghua immediately understood that she was expecting, so Mother Ji ran here frequently while her man was busy outside. Didn’t the mother have to be more attentive to the daughter-in-law if she was pregnant?

Look at what those people outside had spread! They really didn’t have a virtuous mouth!

“Sister-in-law, it looks like it has been a while, so why don't you go out and stop those people from yakking on?” Li Yucui asked.

With how many months it had been, didn't she get pregnant during the New Year?

Wang Honghua also said, “What we mean is, tell those who are talking bullshit to shut up!”

“Don’t mind their words. Come, help me see how the clothes are. Is it too big?” Su Danhong talked to them about the clothes. It was all children's clothes.

However, Li Yucui and Wang Honghua didn't have Su Danhong’s situation when they were pregnant, so how could she still be making clothes?

However, they did not refuse. They were mothers with children who were rowdy now. They sent their children to the neighbor’s house for the time being and did not bring them here.

They worked on the clothes for half an hour and discussed issues to pay attention to during pregnancy. Although they did not have those worries during their own pregnancies, they still pointed out the symptoms and that she had to be more careful.

As for children's clothes, there was no need to make so much. Children basically grew when the wind blew. These clothes would be outgrown quickly, so wasn’t that a waste of material?

Su Danhong listened to all of their other suggestions, but she didn't listen to this piece of advice. She just wanted to make a few more pieces for the little baby, like diapers and that kind of thing. She had prepared almost 20 items, which was enough for the little baby to use.

With her speed in the past, she used to be able to embroider two pieces of embroidery every month. However, now that she had a little baby in her stomach and had to prepare things for the baby, she could only embroider one piece a month and earn 200 to 300 yuan. This could be regarded as saving some money for the little baby’s milk powder. After all, she had to wait until the baby was born to be certain about whether she could embroider flowers or not.

In her last life, her sister-in-law gave birth to a big, plump boy, whose crying could almost make a hole in the sky. It didn’t get better until he was two or three years old, but by then he began to be naughty and was simply a wicked devil.

Su Danhong touched her stomach and said, “Mom wants you to be a daughter.” If you are a girl, you should be less rowdy… right?

“Let's go up the mountain to see the saplings.” In the evening, Su Danhong took a watering can, as well as Da Hei and Xiao Bai, up the mountain. She kept the two yellow ones to watch the house.

The dogs had been here for almost a month, and they had changed because of the good food. They were also very intelligent because they often drank spiritual spring water and were taught by Da Hei.
