Chapter 237 True Pregnancy False Pregnancy
Mo Chenxi went to the new home of He Wenpu and He Wenliang in person.
He Wenpu's home is quite far from the He family's. It is a two-courtyard house, and it is obvious that he wants to be as far away from the He family's home.
He Wenliang found a place closer to the He family home. After all, he was Mrs. Jiang's biological son. He felt guilty about moving out. He agreed to divide the family while his mother was still alive, especially since his eldest brother had suffered another stroke.
So he accompanied his elder brother every day and tried every way to get him to exercise and recover.
Among the three daughters-in-law of the He family, Bao gave birth to the most legitimate children, two sons and three daughters. The eldest was thirteen years old and the youngest was four years old.
There is a concubine given by Old Lady Jiang. She gave birth to two children. The elder one is a nine-year-old concubine, and the younger one was born last May.
Bao is a kind person. Because she is a concubine's daughter, she treats concubine's children well. This is why Mo Chenxi had a good impression of her after observing her carefully after traveling here, and later made her the housekeeper.
After the second and third wives moved out, it was rumored that Bao and Fan were both pregnant. Mo Chenxi thought it was too coincidental. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she sent Mother Wang to deliver supplements to the two of them.
This time she would go there in person to express her concern for her sisters-in-law as the eldest sister-in-law, and also to tell them about the happy event of the eldest wife on the second day of June.
We first went to He Wenpu’s new home. The surrounding environment was quite noisy. The children were running around and playing. When they saw someone coming, they stopped and watched curiously.
Mother Wang helped Mo Chenxi get out of the sedan chair and went forward to knock on the door.
After a while, the door opened and a mother said in surprise, "The lady is here!"
She hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Mo Chenxi in.
Before Mo Chenxi reached the second gate, she saw Bao Shi hurried over. She took two steps forward and said, "You're not a stranger. Why are you coming out if you're not feeling well?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Bao's face, and she said, "I'm fine."
She stepped forward to support Mo Chenxi, and Mother Wang took a step back. Mo Chenxi knew that her pregnancy was fake.
After entering the main room and sitting down, Bao explained embarrassedly, "I haven't had my period for two months and thought I was pregnant. I also thought that I wouldn't have any reaction to this pregnancy, so I went to see Yu Po. I took her pulse and it showed no pregnancy. I prescribed some medicine and I'm taking it now."
Bao's face flushed as she explained this. Her husband wanted her to get pregnant quickly so that she wouldn't have to go back to take care of her mother-in-law. She had already given birth to two sons and three daughters, and to be honest, she didn't want to have any more children. In addition, she had been exhausted from housekeeping for more than a year, and she was already in her thirties. It was not worth it to avoid having children.
She always felt embarrassed in front of her eldest sister-in-law. Her eldest sister-in-law was really sick, but the second wife wanted to fake it so as not to fulfill her filial duties.
Of course Mo Chenxi wouldn't expose it. If it were her, she would also want to find an excuse to stay away from it.
Mo Chenxi said with concern, "Don't be careless about this. The health of us women depends on whether our lives are going smoothly. You can be careless about other things, but you can't be careless about this. You have to worry about your own health. If you are late or early, you have to go to see Mrs. Yu. You can save money on other things, but you can't save money on this. You have to think about your five children who still rely on you."
Bao Shi felt even more uncomfortable after hearing what her sister-in-law said. "Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future. If sister-in-law needs anything and there is something I can do for her, she doesn't need to see the diplomats, just give it to me."
Mo Chenxi said, "You just moved out, so clean up your own little home first. For a while now, the farm is all dependent on my second brother, so the family will have to rely on my sister-in-law to work hard."
Bao said: "Whether it is hard or not, it is what we should do."
Mo Chenxi took out a silver note of one hundred taels and said, "I didn't come when you moved, but this is my gift to you to celebrate your move."
Bao took it with embarrassment.
When Mo Chenxi mentioned the wedding on the second day of June, Bao Shi didn't show any surprise and said, "I'll go there a day in advance to help my aunt prepare."
Mo Chenxi did not object.
The servants taken away by Bao and Fan must have connections with the servants of the He family. So many things have happened in the He family recently, and He Wenpu and He Wenliang are both busy. Bao and Fan must be worried and are always keeping an eye on every move of the He family. The first wife wants to take in the second wife, and outsiders may not know, but these two will know.
Mo Chenxi went to He Wenliang's new home again, and smiled while sitting in the sedan chair. She guessed that Fan was also faking her pregnancy.
The environment around He Wenliang's new home is better than He Wenpu's home and is less noisy.
After knocking on the door and entering, she didn't see Fan coming out. Mo Chenxi thought she was putting on a good show.
When they arrived at the main door, Fan's personal mother was standing guard at the door. Upon seeing Mo Chenxi, she bowed and whispered, "Our wife is in confinement after giving birth."
Mo Chenxi was surprised. It turned out that she was really pregnant and then miscarried.
Even women who were in confinement after childbirth had to keep the doors and windows closed. She entered the inner room and saw Fan half-leaning on the bed with her head wrapped. Her face looked not good. There was a smell in the room, the kind that came from not opening the windows and not letting in air for many days. It seemed that she was not faking it.
When Fan saw Mo Chenxi coming in, her eyes turned red and she called her "sister-in-law" in a very aggrieved way.
She said that she hadn't had sex for several days, and it was true.
After giving birth to her son last year, she started having her period when he was eight months old. After that, she was very careful, thinking that she must not get pregnant again.
After moving to a new house, her husband wanted her to move back to take care of her mother-in-law. When she heard that her second sister-in-law was pregnant, she hurriedly said that she might be pregnant too.
At that time, I thought, even if she is not pregnant, I can tell her after a few months, so that she can avoid it for a few months.
I didn't expect that she was really pregnant.
Before Fan could be happy for long, her misfortune came again. She hurried to see Yu Po, who said that she had lost the baby due to overwork.
She was so regretful, regretting her own wishful thinking. Others may not know, but the Bodhisattva knows, so this is retribution.
She swore that she would never lie about her child again and would never even think about it.
So when she saw her sister-in-law come in, Fan felt wronged and guilty. Her sister-in-law was really sick, and she only thought about herself.
Mo Chenxi sat down beside the bed, took her hand and said, "Don't cry. Crying during confinement is bad for your eyes. As the old saying goes, a short confinement is still a confinement. You sit there for a whole month without doing anything. Your third child is still young. You have to take care of him after you get well."
Fan wiped her tears and nodded, "It's just that my master has been working so hard. He's so busy every day that he can't eat or sleep well, and he has to worry about this mess at home."
Mo Chenxi had no choice but to stop He Wenliang from managing the He family.
Fan was just worried about her husband and didn't complain. Mo Chenxi comforted her a few words, took out some tonics, and also gave her a silver note of 100 taels. He told her about the big wife's happy event on the second day of the new year, "Third brother will be there, so don't worry about it. Just take good care of your health."
Fan was also polite for a long time, saying flattering words.
She thought that now that the family had split up, the brothers would no longer have to live under the same roof. The situation of her eldest sister-in-law's family, including the fact that she was Lady Xiaojie, meant that she was the only one who had to curry favor with her. So this time she pretended to be pitiful and said flattering words.
Her mother came to see her and gave her many instructions, asking her to put away her previous petty thoughts and stop calculating how much her son-in-law did. Doing more was helping the eldest wife, and her eldest sister-in-law would appreciate it.
Mo Chenxi didn't care much about the two sisters-in-law. Although Fan had her own little thoughts, she was not a bad person generally speaking. Although Bao was born a concubine's daughter, she was better at doing things than Fan.
