In a blink of an eye, it was already August, and Lu Caishi had pregnancy symptoms again. She didn't care because she had lost her appetite for the past two days and thought she was a little tired. Mother Meng was surrounded by three children all day long, so she didn't care. She was so tired that she didn't pay much attention to Lu Caishi. It wasn't until Lu's mother came to help that she noticed her daughter's abnormality. She asked in surprise: "Caishi, are you pregnant again?"
Lu Caishi was still a little confused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My child, are you pregnant again?"
"Ah?" Lu Caishi was immediately shocked. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was really the same.
Lu Caishi suddenly became anxious: "Mom, I don't want to have another baby."
"If you really have a baby, you have to have a baby even if you don't want to. It's illegal to abort a child now. How could you two be so careless and patronize your own happiness without thinking about the consequences at all."
Lu's mother accompanied her daughter to Yuxin Hospital for a check-up. The results surprised and delighted both of them. The twins that made Xu Haocun laugh in his dreams were now in Lu Caishi's belly.
"My little aunt, you are going to tire your father-in-law and mother-in-law to death. Now you have five children. Let me see what you do in the future."
The two of them returned to the Meng family with complicated emotions. While Lu Caishi was still hesitating whether to tell her parents-in-law or not, Lu's mother had already spoken out quickly.
When they heard that Lu Caishi was pregnant again, the two old men were stunned. Lu Caishi was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
But when Mother Lu said in the second sentence that Lu Caishi was pregnant with twins, Mother Meng suddenly beamed and shouted in surprise: "It's true, my God, our Meng family is also so lucky. I But twins are so rare.”
"Caishi, you must be careful in the future. You must not do heavy work anymore. The child in your belly must not have any accidents."
"Mom, our family will have five children next year, aren't you worried?" Lu Caishi asked cautiously.
"Hey, there's nothing to worry about. Let's hire a nanny. The nanny your mother hired before is pretty good. How about we hire her back?"
Mother Lu also said happily: "No problem, I'll take care of this. We can hire two more and I'll pay for it."
Mother Meng said: "Hey, this is a small amount of money, my mother-in-law, you are going to be a stranger when you say this."
Dr. Meng Wen interjected: "Don't say that our family is rich. Even if we have no money, we are not afraid. Now the state provides subsidies for having children. One child is 2,000 yuan a month, 3,000 yuan for the second child, and 3,000 yuan for the third child. The first one is 4,000, the fourth one is 5,000, and they are pushed upwards in order. There is no upper limit. If you really like children, just be bold and have them. I support you."
Mother Lu said, "Poor families can't afford it. Now hiring a caregiver will cost at least 8,000 a month."
"My dear, you hired a high-level caregiver, so it's expensive. Ordinary caregivers only cost 5,000 yuan a month. You can also apply for volunteers from the state, which costs 2,000 yuan a month. It is said that they take better care than ordinary caregivers."
Lu Caishi asked curiously: "Why are there so few volunteers? Is the state giving them extra wages?"
Mother Meng said: "It is said that it is a points system. The state will reissue some points to these volunteers. These points can be exchanged for many things. Our family conditions are slightly better, so we don't care much about these things, but for ordinary families, That point has many benefits, more important than money.”
Lu Caishi was only three months pregnant, and both mothers strongly requested that she not be allowed to work anymore. One was because she had been trapped in love before, and they were both worried about the hidden dangers. Second, twins seemed to have a certain Inexplicable attraction, because this kind of luck cannot be expected, but if it suddenly occurs, it is an unexpected joy.
Lu Caishi was extremely bored, and she happened to have Zhang Ying, who was five months pregnant. Because she was her first child, the Xu family paid special attention to her and strictly prohibited her from going to work again. They took good care of her, which was really scary to hold in their mouths. It melted, and I was afraid of falling if I held it in my hand.
It was rare for Zhang Ying to enjoy such princess-like treatment. She was still very happy at the beginning, but as time went by, she felt tired of it. She was very eager to escape from it all.
Suddenly hearing that Lu Caishi was pregnant again, Zhang Ying's jaw almost dropped. She shouted in disbelief: "Oh my God, four babies were born in four years, one in a year. Do you two have nothing to do? All day long." Just thinking about having a baby."
Lu Caishi said angrily: "I'm happy for you to take care of it!"
"Strange, why do these words sound so familiar?"
"It's weird if you're not familiar with it. You said it once at my eldest sister's wedding banquet."
"Oh, by the way, I remembered it. It's really surprising. I'm looking forward to the day when I can say it for the third time."
Lu Caishi laughed and scolded: "If you die, the dog will not be able to spit out ivory."
"Don't tell me, at the rate you two are having children, I have a hunch that the fifth one is not far away."
Lu Caishi suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, there are already five. You forgot that there is another Meng Fanzhan at home."
"Oh, yes, Audrey's son." Zhang Ying nodded lightly.
"Actually, to tell you the truth, none of my children were born because of my careful preparation for pregnancy. They were all unexpected pregnancies."
"Then you are really easy to get pregnant. Xu Haocun and I have never taken any contraceptive measures. I have also been paying attention to preparing for pregnancy, but it took so many years to finally get pregnant. You don't know how to treat my father-in-law and mother-in-law Those who are so excited wish they could offer it to me on the ancestral tablet."
Lu Caishi was embarrassed to say that it was not because of her physical constitution, but because she had a good husband and his fighting ability was too strong.
"By the way, does Meng Qingxiao know about your pregnancy?"
"I definitely don't know. I was just pregnant when he left."
"Oh, I remember you hadn't reconciled at that time, right?"
Lu Caishi's face turned red immediately, but she still told Zhang Ying about Meng Qingxiao's drunken stay at her house.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Good guy, you can't accuse him of rape for this kind of thing?"
"He is my husband, can I accuse him of rape for this kind of thing?"
"Have you never paid attention to the Marriage Law?"
"I care what that thing does."
"You're already married and you don't care about marriage laws? What you said doesn't sound like what a highly intelligent woman would say at all."
"Hey, I admired my husband very much before I got married. I thought he was the best man in the world. I had to catch him, otherwise I would regret it for the rest of my life, so I didn't consider other things at all."
"Tsk, sure enough, no matter how smart a woman is, she is completely stupid when it comes to love." Zhang Ying said, "Even if you two get a marriage certificate, if you are separated for a long time, and if both parties are not willing, one party and the other will be together. If the other party forcibly has sex, you can sue him for rape.”
Lu Caishi asked curiously: "Why do you know so clearly that you don't love your husband?"
"Of course I do, but it's not your kind of love, it's a very rational kind of love." Zhang Ying said, "Our personalities are quite compatible, and we have common hobbies. After getting along, we found that we are quite compatible. Because of each other’s temper, we decided to stay together.”
Zhang Ying continued: "And when we just decided to get together, we made an agreement with each other. If one day suddenly one of us doesn't love the other, we can propose it in time and we will break up peacefully."
Lu Caishi felt incredible: "Is this still possible?"
"Stupid women like you are so rare!" Zhang Ying said angrily, "Fortunately, Meng Qingxiao really loves you. If it were any other man, you would have been heartbroken. "
"Didn't I already get hurt by him once?"
"You don't count." Zhang Ying said, "You guys didn't get back together before. I'm embarrassed to say anything to you. Let me tell you, if it were me, which stinky woman would dare to snatch her husband from me? Look at how I'll deal with her. , I made it impossible for her to even enter the Xu family's door."
Zhang Ying complained: "How can you be like this? Because your husband had an unwilling marriage with another woman, you ran away on your own. Think about it, what would be the consequences if your husband didn't love you? "
"He immediately got together with the mistress."
Lu Caishi said: "We are together as long as we are together. I don't care about such a man."
"At that time, beauties will have a bad life, and it means you are so pitiful." Zhang Ying said, "This is the reality. The more beautiful a woman is, the harder it is to find true love."
"There is no such logic. You are talking about it as if being beautiful is sinful."
"Don't believe it yet, it makes sense. Just imagine, if you were average-looking, would so many people pursue you?"
"If someone really chases you, then that's love."
"A look like yours makes my heart flutter even when I see it, let alone those stinky men?" Zhang Ying said matter-of-factly, "So the people chasing you are not necessarily the ones who love you, they are just coveting your beauty. ."
"But no matter how beautiful a woman is, there will be a day when she gets tired of looking at her, and there will also be a day when she gets old. Men are all big pigs, and they all like the new and hate the old. After finishing the main meal at home, they want to eat game outside. If you If you control him too strictly, he will fly away sooner or later."
Lu Caishi shook his head and said, "I don't agree with your view."
"Sister, you are still living in a fairy tale." Zhang Ying looked like she had come from the past, "Just tell me Xu Haocun, what do you think of him?"
"He's a very nice person. My husband and I have been friends since childhood. They should be pretty much the same."
"Well, as you said, they should be similar. Since they are similar, even your Meng Qingxiao has cheated on her once. Do you think Xu Haocun will cheat?"
"There's no way you can compare like this. People's situations are different, right?"
"It's no different. Do you think Xu Haocun has no chance to meet the opposite sex? Do you think he will be indifferent to the sluts delivered to his door? In terms of appearance, Xu Haocun is many times more handsome than Meng Qingxiao, right?"
"Why do you sound like you're expecting him to cheat on you?"
"That's wrong. I'm not expecting him to cheat. I'm just mentally prepared for him to cheat." Zhang Ying said, "If he really cheats, I won't run to my parents' house like you. I can't keep him." I will try my best to retain you, and if I can’t retain you, I will divorce you immediately.”
"This house is our joint property, but we have agreed that if we get divorced, the one who cheated first will leave the house, so this house belongs to me. I will not leave, and he will leave if he wants to leave."
"What if you cheated?"
"It's also possible, that means I just cleanse myself and leave the house."
Lu Caishi shook his head and said, "Your idea is too scary."
"This is what a normal person should think, okay? I'm not as rich as your family. This house is everything to me."
"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about cheating thoughts."
"Well, I'm just talking casually. If I really cheat, I will definitely find a diamond king, who is countless times richer than Xu Haocun. But will that kind of man fall in love with me?"
"I want looks but not looks, and height but not height. I am lucky to find someone like Xu Haocun, so I am actually quite satisfied."
Lu Caishi marveled: "You are really realistic."
"I live a transparent life, Princess Lu. I advise you to be transparent too. To be honest, Meng Qingxiao is really good. I have never seen a man love a woman so wholeheartedly like him. So you have to hold on tight in the future and don’t let go easily.”
"Well, thank you Master Zhang for your guidance. I will hold on tight and hold him tightly in my hand so that he will never escape from my grasp." Lu Caishi pretended to be vicious and said, her white and tender little fists still clenched together. .
Zhang Ying was immediately amused by her, and then the two women laughed happily.
