6. The military wife in the lower hall (6)
He Xuezhu had just laid out the food. When she raised her eyes, she saw her husband standing in the courtyard. She looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows and a half-smile. Somehow, even though they had been married for three years, her heart still felt like when they first got married. Likewise, I feel panicked when I see him.
Just as she was thinking about it, Lin Shiheng smiled at her: "Xuezhu, what dishes are there today?"
His voice was gentle and slightly magnetic. When He Xuezhu heard this, his hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and his face turned red. She subconsciously lowered her head and whispered: "There are old hens stewing soup, cucumbers, and cabbage... …”
For the Lin family, this was already a very rich dish. Lin Shiheng sat on the stool with a smile, looked at the chicken soup that was just simmering on the table, and said with some surprise: "Mom, you guessed that I came back today? This chicken soup It takes a long time to stew it well.”
Speaking of this, He Xuezhu lowered her head even lower. Thinking of her husband's unfamiliar look towards her in the past and how he always asked her if she had taken good care of her mother every time she came back, there was a little timidity in her tone: "Chicken soup... it's my mother." Stew it for me to drink.”
After she finished speaking, her face was extremely nervous. She was afraid that her husband would think that she had not been filial to her mother-in-law, but she was clumsy and didn't know how to explain it. She could only stand frozen as if waiting for trial.
Lin Shiheng looked at He Xuezhu. He was clearly facing the person beside his pillow, but he stood stiffly and wrung his hands. He was in a state of fear and self-blame after making a mistake.
He could easily guess the reason why she was like this. Because he had been belittled since childhood, He Xuezhu had a very low self-esteem. As long as someone blamed her for the mistake, no matter whether the mistake was caused by her or not, she would Falling into real doubts about oneself and guilt and self-blame towards others.
He Xuezhu was indeed feeling guilty and remorseful. As a daughter-in-law, she actually asked her mother-in-law to cook chicken soup for her. Moreover, she drank the chicken soup for several days. Although Li Chunhua also drank it, her mother-in-law made chicken soup specifically for her. The nature of this matter is very different.
Will Shi Heng misunderstand? Do you think she bullied her mother?
She wanted to explain that she had refused, but her mother asked her to drink well and stay healthy until Shi Heng came back to prepare for pregnancy, but how could she talk about this pregnancy preparation.
He Xuezhu's face turned red and she twisted her fingers to the point where her fingertips turned white. Just when she was panicking, Lin Shiheng suddenly stretched out a hand and held her hands.
"Xuezhu, it seems that you are really good to mom, otherwise mom would definitely not be willing to give you soup according to her temperament. Thank you for always helping me take care of mom at home. It's hard, right?"
He Xuezhu raised her head in disbelief when she heard his gentle voice and stared at Lin Shiheng. She didn't expect that Shi Heng would say such a thing to her.
She was stunned for several seconds before she remembered to answer: "No, it's not hard, I didn't do anything..."
The handsome man in front of her looked at her with gentle eyes. He lowered his head slightly, looked at her hands, and gently rubbed the calluses on her fingertips.
He Xuezhu felt a little inferior, and subconsciously shrank and wanted to take back her hand, "Stop looking, ugly..."
"What's ugly? In my opinion, this is proof of hard work, Xuezhu, if mom can make chicken soup for you, you must be very good. You don't have to do this."
"Come, sit down and have some soup."
He Xuezhu was pulled to sit down and looked at Lin Shiheng serving soup for her with a smile. The joy and joy in her heart just now turned into bitterness.
It turns out that he was good to her because of his mother-in-law?
Shi Heng has always been filial to his mother, and she has always known it.
He is being nice to her now just because he thinks her mother-in-law likes her, but in fact, He Xuezhu knows very well whether Li Chunhua likes her or not.
She should have said it, but seeing her husband being so gentle and considerate, serving her soup with his own hands, and looking at her with a warm smile, He Xuezhu couldn't open her mouth.
Under Lin Shiheng's coaxing, she picked up the bowl and took a sip of chicken soup. Her heart was sour and astringent. She was obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable, but she still had to work hard to smile and look at the person in front of her, who was as gentle as in a dream. Husband: "It tastes good."
"If it tastes good, drink more. Next time we'll make chicken soup."
After Lin Shiheng finished speaking, he raised his eyes and said, "Why hasn't Mom come yet? Didn't you say you wanted to get something?"
He Xuezhu quickly put down the bowl and stood up: "I'm going to call mom right now..."
"No, no, I'm coming."
Li Chunhua opened the curtain just in time to hear these words, quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and responded, walking down the steps.
As soon as she got off, she saw her son looking at her nervously, and even his voice trembled: "Mom, why are your eyes red?"
There was nothing like three hundred taels of silver here. He stood up again and asked, "Did you come into my house?"
"No no!"
Seeing her son's attitude of admitting it and walking into the house, Li Chunhua quickly waved her hands and stuttered out an excuse: "I, I was blinded by sand just now. I rubbed my eyes when they felt uncomfortable, and they turned red."
Lin Shiheng was obviously relieved, and walked forward with a relaxed and distressed expression, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now? Can I give you a blowjob?"
It was obvious that the matter could be solved without any discomfort, but Li Chunhua was afraid that her son would not believe it, so she quickly nodded and said: "It's still uncomfortable, please help me blow my right eye."
Li Chunhua stood with one eye stretched wide, and could only use the other eye to look at Lin Shiheng in front of her with difficulty.
He has a handsome appearance and a tall figure. He has a military look just standing there. At this moment, he is looking at her as a mother with a serious look on his face.
The tears that Li Chunhua had been holding back suddenly fell down.
His son was filial and good-looking. He had never given her much trouble since he was a child. He was promoted not long after he joined the army, and now he is an official as high as the regimental commander.
Such a good child, why...can't have any more children!
She didn't care that the old Lin family would never die, but when she thought about her good son, he would grow old and sick, and there would be no one to take care of him. When he died, he would be buried in a grave, and his family would burn money and houses every year during the Qingming Festival. As for his son, no one came to see him. Thinking of this, Li Chunhua felt uncomfortable in her heart.
While he was feeling uncomfortable, he heard his son ask worriedly: "Mom, why are you crying??"
"It's not you who blew the sand into me again. Blow it out for me quickly."
After Li Chunhua answered with a choked voice, she saw that her son was seriously looking for the non-existent sand, and she tried hard to swallow the remaining tears.
She couldn't cry, couldn't let Shi Heng know that she knew!
Shi Heng cares about face the most, let alone such a thing. He doesn't want to let anyone know that he can't give birth to any man. Seeing that he is hiding it from her, he must be afraid that she, a mother-in-law, will see it. Sad, she couldn't live up to her son's filial piety.
Isn’t it just that I can’t give birth?
The worst case scenario is to bring a child back and raise it from a young age, as long as you don't tell the child that he is not your biological child.
Thinking of this, Li Chunhua's nose felt sore again. Her poor Shi Heng, why couldn't she have biological flesh and blood.
"Mom, how are you now?"
"Ah, it's much better. Okay, mom, go wash your face. You go sit down and eat first."
Li Chunhua went to the kitchen to wash her face, took a deep breath, told herself not to show any clues in front of her son, opened the curtain and walked out.
Li Chunhua was too busy feeling uncomfortable to pay attention just now. As soon as she sat down, she realized that there was actually a bowl of chicken soup in front of her daughter-in-law He Xuezhu.
His son hasn’t even drank yet!
Li Chunhua's face turned cold and she was about to get angry when a bowl of hot chicken soup was placed in front of her. When she looked up, Lin Shiheng was smiling at her.
"Mom, thank you for your hard work. Have some soup."
Woo...
Her poor son, it’s not you who works hard, it’s you who works hard.
Li Chunhua was about to drink it when her thoughts suddenly changed and she looked at the bowl of soup in front of He Xuezhu: "Xuezhu, you also filled this bowl?"
"Yes, Xuezhu has worked hard too. I can't be at home, so she takes care of you for me."
Speaking of this, Lin Shiheng's face showed a bit of sadness.
Li Chunhua felt uncomfortable seeing her son in pain. She was sad. Shi Heng must be even sadder than she was. She was so sad. She even served Xue Zhu soup with her own hands because Xue Zhu took care of her as a mother. How could this child be so miserable? So filial.
Feeling uncomfortable, Li Chunhua didn't have the energy to find fault anymore. She lowered her head and drank the soup. The warm soup entered her stomach and turned into tears.
Her son...
He Xuezhu was nervous and afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law, but Shi Heng saw that her mother-in-law didn't like her. Unexpectedly, she got through it peacefully. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and took a sip of soup.
As soon as the soup was in her stomach, she suddenly felt nauseous. Without time to think, she quickly turned sideways and retched several times.
After she finally calmed down, she turned around and saw her husband and mother-in-law looking at her. Thinking that she was retching while they were eating, He Xuezhu's already pale face became even paler due to discomfort.
"I didn't mean to do it. I may have been feeling a little upset in my stomach recently, and I always feel like vomiting."
It's over, her mother-in-law will definitely scold her...
It would not be an exaggeration to say that He Xuezhu was completely heartbroken at this moment. She was not afraid of scolding. Anyway, she had experience in being scolded since she was a child. She just had to endure it silently. But she had just felt a little tenderness from her husband. If she found out Her mother-in-law hated her, and since Shi Heng was so filial, she would definitely become the same as before.
She was afraid and regretful, and was about to stand up and apologize properly when her hand was suddenly grabbed by Li Chunhua.
He Xuezhu almost thought she was going to hit her. Although Li Chunhua had never touched her, she had been beaten frequently when she was at her parents' home. Her body immediately reacted and tensed up. She shrank and lowered her head skillfully, not daring to look at her mother-in-law.
Li Chunhua was so excited that she didn't notice He Xuezhu's expression at all, and looked at He Xuezhu's face with ecstasy with bright eyes.
If you feel retching and want to vomit, isn't this pregnancy? !
Counting the days again, Shi Heng came back once three months ago!
That’s right! ! That’s right! !
