Chapter 1226 Substitute Wife 10

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I...I don't want to go back."

"Okay, I won't force you. But even if you are no longer my daughter-in-law, I will still treat you as my own daughter. I will come to see you often in the future. When you give birth and are in confinement, I will serve you."

"Yuanchun, from now on, you can still call me mom. I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law."

"mom……"

"Good boy, it's getting dark. I'm going back first. I'll come to see you next weekend."

Mother Qin took out the only ten yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand. "Mom was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring much money with her. Take these ten yuan and use them to buy some nutritious food."

"Mom, I have money."

"What kind of money do you have? You haven't spent much of your salary in the past few years. Don't worry, your father and I are here to help you raise the child."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. It's too cold outside. Go back to the house."

Mother Qin wiped away her tears and said goodbye to Yuanchun reluctantly.

After Yuanchun moved out of her and Qin Feng's home, she did not return to her parents' home, but moved to her third aunt's house to stay.

My third aunt is a 70-year-old widow. Her husband and son both died on the battlefield, leaving her alone. As a relative of a martyred soldier, the government takes good care of her. During the New Year and other festivals, they would send her oil and rice, and the neighborhood committee would often send people to help her fetch water and coal, grow vegetables and clean the manure pit.

The third aunt's house had five large tiled houses and a large yard. She only lived in one room, and the others were empty. Yuanchun came directly to borrow the house with several carts full of luggage and furniture.

The third aunt was used to living alone and didn't like being disturbed by one more person. It was only after Yuanchun said all the nice things and promised to take care of her in her old age and that the baby in her belly would be adopted under the name of her eldest son so that her husband's family would not be cut off that the third aunt agreed to let Yuanchun live with her.

After seeing off Qin's mother, Yuanchun closed the courtyard door and saw her third aunt standing under the eaves. She stared at her for a long time before muttering, "Fortunately, she is not completely stupid."

"Third aunt, let me make what we have for dinner." Yuanchun walked forward, helped her into the house, and turned on the light.

Old Mrs. Min pointed to the brown sugar in the jar on the shelf and said, "I want to eat brown sugar rice."

She is from Hai City and likes sweet food, but her blood sugar is high. The doctor told her not to eat sweets anymore, but Old Lady Min often eats sweets secretly without telling anyone.

Her favorite food is brown sugar rice.

I have been eating it since I was a child and I never get tired of it.

Yuanchun smiled and said, "Third Aunt, your blood sugar is high, you can't eat brown sugar rice, I'll make you some dumpling soup."

"What's the dumpling soup?"

"It's delicious, Third Aunt. I'll make it for you to try. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after eating it."

“Is it sweet?”

"Mm, fresh and fragrant taste."

“Can you make it sweet?”

"Third Aunt, you have to eat less candy," Yuanchun said helplessly, "If you don't obey, I will confiscate your candy jars."

"Okay, let's have some dumpling soup."

As the third aunt said this, she secretly took the brown sugar jar and carried it into the room.

Seeing the old lady protecting her food, Yuanchun grinned with amusement, "Third Aunt, don't eat the candy secretly, or I will tell Doctor Gao."

"I didn't steal any food. I left it here for fear that mice would take it away."

How could a mouse lift such a big sugar jar?

Yuanchun went to the kitchen with a smile on her face. After a while, she brought back a big bowl of fragrant dumpling soup. "Third aunt, it's time to eat."

"Is it done?"

"Well, come and try my cooking."

Perhaps because it had been a long time since anyone had eaten at the same table with her, Mrs. Min ate very slowly, carefully, and with great relish.

Yuanchun smiled and said, "Third Aunt, I am a good cook and I can cook a lot of dishes. I can also cook dishes from Hai City. Tomorrow I will go buy the ingredients and make you egg dumplings and rice balls with fermented glutinous rice."

"You can make rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, but can you make sweet and sour pork?"

"Third Aunt, you should eat less sugar."

"It's okay to eat a little."

"Then I'll ask Dr. Gao first. If he says it's edible, I'll make it for you."

"Ah."

Old Mrs. Min was satisfied. She turned the ordinary dumpling soup into something with the flavor of bird's nest and shark's fin.

After dinner, Old Lady Min took out twenty yuan from her pocket and placed it on the table along with a few food coupons, grain coupons and meat coupons. "This is a month's food money. You can buy food from now on."

"Third Aunt, I have money."

The third aunt looked at her and said calmly, "My Min family doesn't need outsiders to support us."

Yuanchun didn't understand.

The third aunt glared at her, "Since you are the mother of my grandson, you are also a member of my Min family. Don't accept money from others in the future."

Yuanchun then realized that the scene of Qin's mother giving her money must have been seen by her third aunt, and her third aunt was trying to support her.

Yuanchun felt warm in her heart, "Okay, Third Aunt, I will be yours to take care of from now on."

The next day, Yuanchun got up early, steamed a basket of buns, cooked rice porridge, and made some pickles. After eating with her third aunt, she hurried to work.

The remaining rice porridge and buns were kept warm on the coal stove. It was noon and my third aunt was hungry, so she took them out and ate them.

"Yuanchun, now that you're at work, why don't you take a few days off to rest?"

As soon as Yuanchun sat down, her colleague Peng Juan asked with concern.

After a day of fermentation, the news of Yuanchun and Qin Feng's divorce had spread throughout the entire textile factory, and the reason for the divorce was also known to everyone.

Some people sympathized with Yuanchun.

Some people gloated.

Some people were also sarcastic.

Yuanchun ignored it all.

As long as no one came to her and laughed at her, she would pretend not to hear it.

She smiled bitterly, "I didn't save a penny of my previous salary. I spent it all. Now I have to work hard to save money to have a baby. I can't take leave."

Peng Juan said to her, "Why do you want to take up the responsibility of raising a child alone? The child in your belly is Qin Feng's, and he is also half responsible. Why don't you ask him for child support?"

Yuanchun's eyes were red, and she choked up a little, "I wanted to have the child alone, so I have to be responsible for it alone. He said he wouldn't care."

Peng Juan was so angry, "This is too much, this is too much, Yuanchun, why don't you go back to your parents' home and let them make a scene?"

Yuanchun smiled bitterly, "My parents favor boys over girls. If I divorce them, they won't be angry. They will be happy because I can bring them some money for the bride price."

Peng Juan sighed, "What are you going to do in the future? You have to go to work and give birth to a child. It's impossible without someone to help you. You'll need someone to take care of you during the confinement period."

"I'll find a way."

Peng Juan disagreed, "As a woman, what can you do? If you ask me, you have already divorced Qin Feng, why do you still want to give birth to his child? You can abort the child, marry a good man again, live a happier life than Qin Feng, and make him regret it."
