Chapter 140 Demonic Moth
Seeing that Xiaoyue had visibly lost weight, Du Hongxue was so anxious that he scratched his head and couldn't help her. This only strengthened his resolve to have only this one child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.
Finally, he went to his father-in-law's house and brought his mother-in-law, Yang Sumei, over, asking her to try making three meals a day for Xiaoyue. Strangely enough, when Yang Sumei made the snacks that Jinyue always loved, she didn't vomit. Then she made soup, and she didn't vomit. Finally, when she made some appetizing home-cooked meals, Zuo Jinyue stopped vomiting.
Du Hongxue wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not let Yang Sumei leave.
Week after week passed.
Seeing that Zuo Renxin was home alone, Du Hongxue wanted to bring him along, but his father-in-law disagreed. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Du Hongxue said to his mother, Li Yan, "Mom, I need to discuss something with you, please don't scold me!"
"Speak, what is it?" Li Yan urged, as she still needed to go to the kitchen to learn how to make soup from her in-laws.
Du Hongxue rubbed his hands and said, "Mom, um... could Xiaoyue stay at her parents' house?"
"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting?" Li Yan slapped Du Hongxue on the back.
"Mom, even if you disagree, don't hit me. I'm just discussing this with you." Du Hongxue quickly dodged away.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan became even angrier and chased after him, hitting him, "You brat, is this something I agree to or not? Didn't you see how severe Xiaoyue's pregnancy symptoms were? Vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, aversion to oily foods, drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness—she's only been resting for a few days, and now what kind of trouble are you causing? Let me tell you, pregnant women experience more pronounced negative emotions due to hormonal fluctuations, which can increase the risk of miscarriage. During such a special time, you should behave yourself! You're actually thinking of shirking your responsibilities and letting Xiaoyue stay at her parents' house? You're pushing all the blame onto your in-laws! If I don't hit you, who should I hit?"
"Mom, Mom, I'm so wronged! Please listen to me!" His mother was angry, and Du Hongxue didn't dare to dodge anymore. He just stood there and let her hit him a few times to calm him down.
"Fine, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening, let's see how you try to argue!" Li Yan sat down, rubbing her hands; the brat's skin was thick and tough.
“Mom, I was thinking that Xiaoyue might feel more comfortable staying at her parents’ house. You said your mood has been fluctuating a lot since you got pregnant. That’s the home she grew up in. She can stay away from internal conflicts and be her true self, which is good for her emotions, right? Besides, look at the food my mother-in-law makes, Xiaoyue can eat it. But we can’t keep her here forever, can we? Let my father-in-law be all alone for a few months, right?”
“That’s right. Every time I go to work, Director Zuo, Xiaoyue’s father, gives me such a resentful look that I don’t even dare to look him in the eye.” Li Yan thought for a moment and said, “But this has to be something they are willing to accept. After all, the first three months are a special period. Let’s have dinner together tomorrow night and discuss it as a family. We can also wait until Xiaoyue is three months old before going to see the old lady. Just find some excuse to keep it a secret for now.”
"Yes, Your Majesty! Please be gentler next time!"
"roll!"
The two families quickly sat down to discuss the matter. Since it was all for the child's sake, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Xiaoyue would go back to her parents' home to stay, and they would discuss the rest in three months. Du Hongxue would also move in with her. They would not tell anyone during this time to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Life at her parents' home was so carefree and pleasant. Her morning sickness naturally disappeared. If she didn't see Du Hongxue every day, Zuo Jinyue would have thought she was still an unmarried girl at her parents' home!
When the old lady didn't see Zuo Jinyue, she was bound to ask. Du Hongxue tried various excuses to appease her, and the old lady didn't mind. But Wu Jinfeng pressed for details: "Hongxue, are you two having a fight? Is it you having an affair or Xiaoyue?"
"Uncle, can you do something about Auntie? Can't she just want things to go well for us younger generation? She's always asking us questions, and we can't even have a peaceful meal. Why don't you put in some effort and get her a job at the neighborhood committee? She'd be a real key member." Du Hongxue wasn't one to be trifled with either, so he went straight to Du Hexiang.
