Chapter 264 - 0264: Giving Birth in the Countryside 4_1
"Lu Jiang’s wife is pregnant, isn’t she? Congratulations, congratulations!"
"How long has it been? You have never mentioned it. You are so silly, being pregnant yourself and still helping others with childbirth."
"Just looking at you, you can tell you’re so blessed, got pregnant just after getting married. Maybe a fat little boy next year."
In the midst of everyone’s congratulations, Feng Qingxue saw Niu Xiuying, who was constantly rubbing corn.
She wore a patched hat, rolled up her shirt sleeves to her elbows, and from the bamboo basket at her feet, an occasional baby’s cry could be heard. The way she was handling the corn did not at all reflect a woman who had given birth less than ten days ago.
Niu Xiuying was rubbing corn with one hand and patting the child in the basket with the other. It was indeed too hard!
Feng Qingxue was filled with emotions and admired them sincerely.
Wang Fengqiao noticed her niece’s look, glanced at Niu Xiuying, turned around, and said with a smile: "During harvest time, which woman gets to rest a full month after childbirth? Only the most fortunate women. Generally, they go back to work in the fields a few days after giving birth. However, you don’t have to worry. When you deliver a baby, I’ll take care of you during your confinement period, for the full month. Lu Jiang absolutely adores you, he doesn’t mind if you don’t earn contribution points from working the fields. That’s why before he left, he made your uncle promise to take good care of you so as not to exhaust you."
Back then, she had guessed that Feng Qingxue was probably pregnant. She whispered it to a few sisters-in-law, but they didn’t quite believe her. Now they do, don’t they?
A pregnant woman and a non-pregnant woman look completely different.
