Good Man Operation Guide

Li Chunhua is angry, but she doesn’t say what the crazy woman said to her just now.

She is not stupid. If such a thing is said out, whether it is true or not, the listeners would certainly have an impression in their hearts. Xuezhu is still pregnant. What if she is stimulated?

Thinking this way, Li Chunhua complains and stops the topic, reaching out to pull out the other dishes from the bag.

“Yesterday didn’t you say you had shrimp cravings? Today, mom happened to meet a shrimp seller. When I bought it, it was still alive and fresh. So, drink the soup and eat shrimp.”

He Xuezhu drank some chicken soup and nodded gratefully, “thank you Mom.”

“You don’t have to thank me.”

Li Chunhua waved her hand with a smile and went to fetch water. Lin Shiheng stood up and said, “Mom, I’ll do it.”

“What are you going to do? Can’t you see Xuezhu’s swollen legs? Hurry up, and continue to help message them. Mom can get the water.”

Saying this she secretly lamented that her son was still too young. He didn’t know that it was important for him to cover up his bias toward his mother in front of his wife.

Pregnant women tend to overthink things.

Her son sat back down, and Li Chunhua went to fetch water with the kettle in her hand. He Xuezhu’s legs were swollen badly, and soaking her feet was good for her.

The pregnant women in the beds next to them saw their happy family. Their daughter-in-law was filial, their mother-in-law was considerate, even their husband was gentle, and was willing to help his wife massage her legs; which made them envious.

But, as people say ‘comparing is odious’. Since He Xuezhu came here, the pregnant women in several wards around her have envied her.

It’s said that her husband is an officer. In order to be able to accompany her who is about to give birth, He saved a half years’ worth of holidays before he could save enough time. Their husbands couldn’t match this idea alone.

Of course, you need money to stay in a hospital ward. Many pregnant women dislike expensive wards, and stayed at home. Even if they are willing to come to the hospital to give birth, it is absolutely impossible for them to stay in the hospital before giving birth just to make sure. At most, they would stay a couple of days in the hospital after giving birth.

Look at He Xuezhu; She came to the hospital several days before her due date. Her husband and mother-in-law were cautious. They waited on her every day. Even in the evening, she was held carefully to walk downstairs by a handsome man. He was not wearing his military uniform but still had a strapping figure.

Every time they see Lin Shiheng with a gentle smile, gentle movements and careful support of his wife, they envied again.

Envy is envy, but no one had any negative thoughts, because He Xuezhu, who was treated so well, is indeed a good woman.

It’s because of this that everyone was even more envious.

Look at this family; People with good temper getting along with each other. Such a wonderful life.

There are also many young women who took care of the pregnant women, most of whom are the pregnant women’s sister-in-law or elder sister. They envy He Xuezhu for being pampered by her husband’s mother-in-law. They can’t help but talk about it with others when they were walking around on their free time.

Nowadays, most of the people are simple and can talk freely with each other when they meet. In addition, they were taking care of the pregnant women and have common topics with each other. It was pleasant to talk with each other. It’s just that what’s the most talked about topic is the dream like life of the pregnant He Xuezhu.

Zhou Qianqian had to stay in the hospital because of her unstable pregnancy and blood flow, for several days. She was sent here last night because of too much blood loss and was not familiar with the people around her. Right now, she is lying in bed quietly and listening to the gossip between a visiting woman and another woman.

“Eight bed’s mother-in-law specially went to boil chicken soup again, the smell made me hungry. I heard that she specially raised the chicken when she knew her daughter-in-law was pregnant. The best chicken feed and water, it at least can lay an egg every day. When she gave her daughter-in-law the soup, I could see it very clearly, the soup is golden yellow. From the smell, I knew it was stewed for a long time, very delicious, not to mention how sweet it was.”

“An old hen is worth a lot of money, she is really willing to give it up?”

“It’s true, I really saw it. She sends a variety of delicious food to her daughter-in-law every day. I also talked with that mother-in-law. If the Doctor didn’t say that we couldn’t eat supplements blindly, she would stew a chicken every day.”

You could hear the drooling in their voices. It was an old hen! Although the living conditions of the people are much better than before, they have not reached the luxury of ‘a chicken a day’.

That’s an old hen, it’s oily and juicy. Not to mention pregnant woman, even an ordinary person would greedily devour it.

Even Zhou Qianqian, who was lying in bed, couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. Although her husband’s salary was not that high, it was definitely much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. But he never gave it to Zhou Qianqian for safekeeping. The food after her pregnancy and the food before her pregnancy are usually the same. She still had to wash clothes and cook for her husband, while holding her big belly.

Although others do the same, at least their men love them and are willing to hand over their salary.

“There’s more!” The woman who came to gossip seemed to be afraid that the people listening were not sufficiently stimulated, and added: “Yesterday, the pregnant woman on bed eight casually mentioned to her husband that she didn’t know why, but she felt a craving for river shrimps. It was really casual. I was there at that time, and it wasn’t even discussed seriously.”

The woman who was listening chimed in: “It’s winter now. Regardless of how expensive the shrimp are, it’s not easy to buy them even if you have money. Even if she wants to eat them, she certainly won’t get them.”

“No!”

The other woman answered back, more vigorously, “she was just mentioning that. Early this morning, her mother-in-law came here with some river shrimp. She said that it was a ‘coincidence’. How could that be a coincidence? Didn’t she heard her daughter-in-law say she wanted to eat that and went searching and bought it.”

The next woman listened with surprise: “Is there really such a good mother-in-law in the world? I think you got it wrong, that must be her own mother!”

“No! When they came on the first day, I inquired about her mother-in-law clearly. Besides, I told you that her husband was a soldier, he cares for his wife dearly. The woman on bed eight’s legs were swollen, so he sat beside the bed and massaged it. When I came, he had been massaging it for an hour, and the husband of the woman on bed nine laughed at him. Do you know what he said?”

The other woman was curiously excited in suspense. She repeatedly urged: “What did he say? Ah, quickly! Say it!”

The woman who came to gossip saw that she was excited and repeated Lin Shiheng’s words, “this is my wife, and pregnancy has been hard on her. I am her husband. Helping her massage is normal.”

“Aiyo!!”

(TNote: Aiyo! = Ouch! / Omg! / Wow! /Ugh! etc. etc. etc. Very common in Chinese)

As soon as these words came out, all the people listening to it uttered an exclamation, “This man really loves his wife.”

“Yes, not only does her man love her dearly, her mother-in-law too. Such a blessing!”

“Why didn’t I get such a good mother-in-law? This time, my sister gave birth to a child, her husband’s family didn’t have time to take care of her. I have nothing to do at home, and want to take care of her. But I still had to beg humbly. My mother-in-law’s daughter gave birth to a baby before this, but she asked my sister-in-law to take care of it without even caring about me.”

“Hey, how can a daughter-in-law be the same as a daughter? It was nice enough for her to let you come.”

“Bed eight has such good luck, getting such a good mother-in-law.”

Zhou Qianqian was lying in bed, listening to them say that the husband of the woman in bed eight is a soldier. She felt uncomfortable when her own man was so inconsiderate.

Her mother-in-law also came, but she only came to see her son. The baby she was carrying was unstable, and she was afraid. She wanted her mother-in-law to help her. But she was rejected because of her poor health and the unstable child in her belly.

Originally, the husband said that he would come to the hospital to accompany her, but because her mother-in-law came, he asked for a few days’ leave to take his mother-in-law around town. They did not think that there was a daughter-in-law lying in the hospital.

Zhou Qianqian protested, but when she heard that her mother-in-law say that the fortune teller in the village had told her fortune before she came; saying that she was destined to have a daughter in this birth, she suddenly lost her temper.

How could it be a daughter? She clearly forced herself to eat more sour things every day, it should be a son!

Now, she is alone in the hospital bed and has no money to eat some good food. Bed eight next door is spoiled by her husband and mother-in-law. Her man was also a soldier!

Why!?
