Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 351 Preparation

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let them go."

"Let it be what it is in the future."

Lanhua’s death cannot be blamed entirely on Lin Luoxia. As for Lin Luoxia’s identity, so many years have passed and nothing has happened to her, and it is estimated that nothing will happen in the future.

Seeing her like this, Xu Manyue stopped talking.

It’s better not to interfere too much in some things.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

I don’t know what Lin Luoxia said to Shen Baozhu at night. In short, when Shen Baozhu saw Xu Manyue again, she didn’t call her aunt sweetly as before, nor did she walk towards her.

Xu Manyue didn't care. She had originally planned to keep some distance from Shen Baozhu, and this was the best way.

But she didn't know that when she couldn't see her, Shen Baozhu would secretly look at her from time to time. When she saw that she didn't react, she would always lower her head in disappointment.

Mom said last night that my aunt is pregnant with my little sister, and she can't have any contact with her, as it will hurt the little sister.

She also had to try to avoid visiting her aunt as much as possible. Her aunt was already having a hard time being pregnant with her little sister, and she couldn't disturb her.

But... she still wanted to talk to her aunt and wanted her to call her name gently.

The days passed one by one, and it was gradually a few days before the New Year.

These days, the old lady's health has improved a lot and she no longer needs to stay in bed to rest like before. Xu Manyue is also a few days away from her due date.

The old lady asked the eldest brother Shen to call back the second brother Shen who had not returned home for a long time, and also called the eldest sister-in-law Shen over. As for Lin Luoxia, since no one called her now, she would come over by herself.

The old lady glanced at everyone, her gaze paused for a moment on Lin Luoxia, and then quickly left.

"I asked you to come here today for two reasons. The first is that the third brother's wife is about to give birth, and we need to get everything ready. The third brother wrote back, saying that he wanted his wife to go to the county hospital to give birth."

"I think this is a good idea. I'll leave it to you, the eldest and second oldest, to send the third oldest's wife to the county town. You can also go with the eldest oldest's wife, so she can take care of the third oldest's wife."

"When she comes back after giving birth, I'll take care of her during the confinement period."

"As for the other thing, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although our family is poor and has little to eat, we only celebrate the New Year once a year, so we still have to prepare well. I'll leave this matter to the second son's wife."

Lin Luoxia thought that she would be ignored this time, but she didn't expect the old lady to assign her a task.

She lowered her eyes and nodded.

Others didn't think much of Xu Manyue's decision to go to the county town to give birth.

The family must be out of money. The money for giving birth in the hospital must be paid by the parents themselves. At most, they just have to put in some effort. We are all family, so there is nothing to worry about.

Boss Shen nodded and said, "Mom, when will the third son's wife go to the county town? We can prepare in advance."

The old lady pulled Xu Manyue in front of her, looked at her belly, and thought for a while, "In another four or five days, she will be born soon, so let's go tomorrow."

"Third wife, what do you think?"

This due date is only a rough estimate and may not be accurate. It may be several days earlier or later.

Anyway, the money sent back by the third brother is enough, and it doesn’t cost much to cover the hospital expenses for a few days.

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Mom, I think it's okay. But I'll have to trouble my elder and second brothers tomorrow, and I'll also have to trouble my elder sister-in-law to go with me and take care of me."

Mrs. Shen waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. We're all family. It's a matter of you helping out and me helping out."

"However, I'm going to the hospital to take care of my third sister-in-law. So the pig I'm responsible for will have to be looked after by mother and my second sister-in-law."

The old lady said: "Don't worry about this matter. You go and take care of the third daughter-in-law. You don't have to worry about the things at home. I will help feed the pig you are responsible for."

After seeing that everyone had no problem with it, the matter was settled.

Xu Manyue returned to her room and began to pack up the things she would need for giving birth. However, she had no experience, so she asked Mrs. Shen to come over and help her see what else was missing.

"Sister-in-law, everything I prepared is on this table. Do you think I need anything?"

Mrs. Shen checked each one and recalled everything.

It had been more than ten years since she gave birth. At that time, the Shen family was poor and had nothing. When she gave birth, everyone in the Shen family went to work. When they came back, her two children were already born.

Nothing is used.

However, if she were older, she would be able to be Xu Manyue's mother, and she would know what preparations should be made for having a child.

Children's clothes, small quilts...

Mrs. Shen checked each one of them and found no problems or anything missing, but she was still worried and checked again.

She suddenly shouted, "Third sister-in-law, have you prepared the basin? Also, the thermos, and the towel? You have to bring your own. If you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them later, you will need industrial tickets, and they may not be available. It will be such a hassle."

Xu Manyue looked at the things she had prepared, and there was really nothing.

"Sister-in-law, thanks to your reminder. Otherwise, we would be in a hurry and nothing would be prepared." Xu Manyue walked aside and brought over the thermos, basin, handkerchief and towel.

In fact, she had thought of these things before, but she forgot them when she was busy cleaning up.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "It's okay."

After packing up her things and confirming that nothing was missing, Xu Manyue started packing her own things.

Although the hospital provides hospital gowns for childbirth, it is winter now and although it is not snowing, it is still very cold.

She had to bring warm clothes and a headscarf. She had to stay away from the wind on the way back from the hospital after giving birth, so she had to cover herself tightly.

The brigade had no ox carts, so they still had to rely on people pulling carts to go to the county town.

The cart is very hard and cold, so you should bring a quilt and a mattress.

The big quilt she bought looked like the same one she had used when she got married, but the inside had been completely renovated by her. Although it looked old, it was actually very warm.

Xu Manyue planned to take the quilt with her tomorrow to make herself more comfortable. Naturally, she wanted to make herself comfortable.

After some tidying up, I finally prepared most of the things.

Now there is only one last step left.

Xu Manyue walked to her dowry cabinet, took out the key to open the cabinet, took out a tin box from it, and poured everything inside onto the bed.

There are colorful coins of various denominations, and even quite a few tickets.

Some of these tickets were issued by her work unit, and some were sent back by Shen Jingming.

Xu Manyue counted them and found that most of them were food coupons. These were enough for her to buy food in the state-owned restaurant during her hospitalization. Since her sister-in-law went to take care of her, she naturally had to be responsible for her meals.

These food coupons are enough for her to eat for ten days, so it shouldn't take that long for her to give birth.

And this money was sent back by Shen Jingming on a regular basis, several hundred dollars.

Having a child is enough.
