Chapter 6 - 5 Life Goals
Cai Meina immediately pulled Zhan Jing to sit on the kang bed, "Why didn’t you say earlier? I could have done some preparation work."
"Why don’t you eat a bit more."
Pregnant with twins in such a remote rural area, Cai Meina was really worried about all sorts of things. She also bore a grudge against Zhao Gang for not sending them a letter earlier; if he was worried it might not arrive in time, he could have sent a telegram.
Zhan Jing patted Cai Meina’s hand, "It’s okay, I’m in good health. I just had severe morning sickness in the past few days, so no matter how much I ate, I still threw up."
Hearing that it was due to morning sickness, Cai Meina’s face looked much better, "Are you feeling better these days?"
"Much better, but I’ll have to trouble you, my sister." Zhan Jing felt quite embarrassed, "These days, I’ve been feeling very drowsy and haven’t been able to properly take care of you all."
As for her husband suggesting that Cai Meina take care of the house, Zhan Jing was too embarrassed to say it outright. What would Cai Meina think? Would she feel that their warm welcome was just to make them do the household chores?
Cai Meina wasn’t so suspicious at all. In the Northeast, there were just their two families, so of course, they took care of each other. With a wave of her hand, she said, "It’s okay. According to Gangzi, winter is the off-season anyway. I’ll take care of you; I’ll handle all the housework."
"I’ll take care of you during the postpartum confinement." Cai Meina remembered that Zhan Jing’s parents had passed away a few years ago, and as for the in-laws, they were quite aged already and wouldn’t be coming all the way to the Northeast to take care of a new mother.
