Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Born to Restrain Her

Ma Suyun suddenly retched loudly, causing the conversation in the room to pause briefly.

She seemed a bit embarrassed as she spoke, “Oh dear, you know being pregnant is not easy. This one of ours is another little troublemaker, never staying quiet all day. It’s really wearing me out.” She looked at Qin Wu’s wife, “I say, Fifth Sister-in-law, were you like this when you were pregnant?”

Zhou Hongmei, having no serious issues with the couple Qin Wen, and being from the third household, answered simply when asked, “Mine was fairly good, but I did vomit quite a few days. Second Sister-in-law had really good complexion her entire pregnancy.”

She intended to compliment Zhang Guilan, but didn’t expect Ma Suyun’s eyes to suddenly brighten.

“I just know this child is definitely a son. You see, the reaction is just like yours was. Truly, a mother and son are connected at heart. I had this feeling ever since I got pregnant. When my son is born, he’ll surely be as clever and smart as your Xiao Hui.”

Even though Ma Suyun was praising her son in every sentence, Zhou Hongmei couldn’t even crack a smile.

Thankfully, there was another commotion outside; Qin Jiang and Xu Yun arrived with Jianye.

Once Jianye came, Zhuangzhuang was happy. The two kids pulled Jianjun and Construction to the yard to set off firecrackers.

Qin Jiang and his family lived far away, and Xu Yun rarely saw Lin Chuxia on regular days. After greeting everyone, she looked at Lin Chuxia.

“Long time no see, Sister-in-law. You look really good, seems like you’ve put on a bit of weight. It looks like the water and soil of Yan City suits you well.”

Only the family knew about Lin Chuxia’s pregnancy and Qian Chuncao as well.

Xu Yun’s disposition was indifferent; she wasn’t the type who loved gossip and had no idea about Lin Chuxia’s pregnancy.

Coupled with Lin Chuxia wearing thick clothing, her slightly showing belly wasn’t visible.

Ma Suyun had actually noticed Lin Chuxia’s appearance long before.

Lin Chuxia always had fair skin and looked nice, yet Ma Suyun previously really didn’t think much of Lin Chuxia.

She couldn’t figure out why Qin Yang worked outside earning money, while Lin Chuxia just stayed at home to spend it, and still ran out to sell buns?

A woman who is pretty and whose husband isn’t home, exposing herself publicly every day, isn’t she ashamed?

But later on, Ma Suyun didn’t have the qualifications to talk about her in these matters.

Her attire looked very expensive, well maintained with delicate skin, also wearing a red scarf which made her complexion even better.

To say she wasn’t jealous was impossible.

But then again, what does it matter how well her days are going? Beneath the glossy surface, who knows what kind of thoughts are hidden?

A woman without a child, what is the point of earning all that money?

If Qin Yang changed his mind and had a child with another woman, all the money she worked so hard for would eventually be someone else’s.

Thinking this way, Ma Suyun seemed to find her confidence back, pushing her little belly up a bit more.

She was feeling unwell early today but insisted on coming here, all for this moment.

Having been sisters-in-law with Ma Suyun for so many years, Qian Chuncao understood her well.

Seeing her like this, she knew what Ma Suyun was thinking.

Moving silently, she sat beside Lin Chuxia, picking up Xu Yun’s conversation.

“I also see Sister-in-law becoming more beautiful. That little face is all pink, clearly well-nurtured. No wonder they say Sister-in-law is blessed, seems like the child isn’t giving you trouble, right? How many months now?”

Ma Suyun abruptly raised her head towards this at the words.

Forgetting about their feud with Lin Chuxia, she blurted out, “Lin Chuxia is pregnant?”

Her voice was too abrupt and sharp, drawing the attention of the men chatting over there, not to mention the women sitting here.

Qian Chuncao slightly frowned, “Why are you speaking so loudly, Sister-in-law? I know you’re happy to hear the news of Fourth Sister-in-law’s pregnancy, but no matter how happy, you still need to take care of your body. It’s not easy to carry this baby, and the fetal position is not stable. Sister-in-law has been through this; you need to get less involved, go out less, avoid crowds and stay relaxed to give birth to a hale and hearty baby. Otherwise, you’ll end up thin as a monkey, how good could the baby be then?”

She felt angry every time she saw Qin Wen and his wife.

Who borrows money on the first day of the first month of the lunar new year?

Only Qin Wen would do such a thing.

He outright asked to borrow two thousand, while she’s saving to build a new house for her eldest son to marry, where does she have that much to loan him?

Not lending made Qin Wen relentless, as if them not lending money ruined his happy days.

Didn’t he ruin his own good days?

If the other brothers didn’t arrive in time, these two would probably cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide before the old folks again.

Anyway, Qian Chuncao had long made up her mind; since this brother doesn’t act properly, she’d rather not deal with him anymore.

The old man and old lady too; if they truly sided with the youngest son, urging them to loan the new house money, she’d directly send them over.

Isn’t everyone favoring the youngest son? Then they can go there together.

So they won’t have to witness their days going well, while getting anxious over the youngest son’s ill fortunes.

Ma Suyun tightened her fists, more hurtful than Qian Chuncao’s words was the fact that Lin Chuxia was pregnant too.

When did she get pregnant? How come she didn’t hear even a whisper? Was it before her or after?

Looking at her, she had no signs of pregnancy, probably just got pregnant.

It’s okay, as long as she delivers her son first, she’s still ahead.

At this point, Zhou Hongmei and Xu Yun also turned towards Lin Chuxia, concerned about her pregnancy.

Lin Chuxia graciously responded to Qian Chuncao, “Almost 4 months now.”

“Oh wow, almost 4 months, this must be starting to show, can’t tell at all,” Qian Chuncao laughed.

Zhou Hongmei also chimed in, “I was wondering why Sister-in-law’s complexion looked different, turned out you’re pregnant. The thick winter clothes really hide it.”

“Then you shouldn’t go visiting with us, after meeting the close family, head home and rest. With Qin Yang here, visiting or not is the same,” Xu Yun whispered to her.

Lin Chuxia grinned and nodded, “That’s how I planned it too.”

Ma Suyun watched the sisters-in-law whispering, her expression growing uglier.

Nearly 4 months, doesn’t that mean she’s a month early?

Why is fate so unfair? Why is it so unjust to her?

Why did Lin Chuxia decide to get pregnant just as she did?

Her suspicion wasn’t unfounded; Lin Chuxia indeed was born to cross her.

The more she thought, the worse she felt, even her little belly throbbed with pain.
