Chapter 322 - 0322: Not Idle in Winter2_1
In the entire Wanglou Brigade, everyone was busy except for a few lazy boneheads.
Feng Qingxue and Wang Jiao were on this list because the two sisters were so pampered that they never had to work. Plenty of people envied them, many were jealous, and there was no shortage of sarcastic jibes.
"They’re just jealous because they aren’t as lucky as us!" Wang Jiao visited Feng Qingxue, cracking sunflower seeds as she spoke.
The ones gossiping about them were all women, especially those less fortunate.
Feng Qingxue just smiled, "We really haven’t had to work!"
In everyone’s eyes, not working was a sign of laziness.
Wang Jiao matter-of-factly replied, "I have Yuejin to support me, so I have a reason not to work. What business is it of theirs? It’s not like I didn’t work during the busy farming season. Besides, you’re heavily pregnant, not working is perfectly normal for you!"
She touched Feng Qingxue’s belly in astonishment, "It’s so big now. Is it a boy or a girl inside?"
"I have no idea." Feng Qingxue’s medical skills weren’t advanced enough to gender-determine through pulse reading, and current hospitals didn’t have advanced ultrasound technology. But she didn’t care. She put down the nappy she was making and her face filled with motherly gentleness as she smilingly said, "Whether it’s a boy or girl, they’re Lu Jiang’s and my treasure, there’s no difference."
However, Wang Jiao retorted, "How could there be no difference? Boys are boys, girls are girls. If they were the same, there wouldn’t be any difference in gender, let alone so many unnatural deaths among baby girls? Even though I disapprove, many people still do it. Haven’t I just been married for a while? Yuejin’s mother stares at my belly every day as if I don’t know what she’s thinking."
Feng Qingxue shook her head; there was nothing to be done about this mentality.
