Shen Mingzhu immediately called Du Juan and told Jia Yuemei that she had given birth to a daughter.

"pretty good."

On the other end of the phone, Du Juan's tone revealed unabashed joy, "Mingzhu, please give us a gift and I will give it to you when you get back."

"Well, this is a small matter. Sister-in-law, how is your health?"

From quietly getting the ring to getting pregnant with her second child, Du Juan didn't hide anything from her.

Counting the days, it’s been almost three months now.

"Others are fine, but the reaction is a bit severe. I basically vomit after eating."

Shen Mingzhu comforted her: "If the pregnancy is so serious, it will most likely be a boy."

This statement was told to her by Feng Huiying from the Family Court, and she didn't believe it at first.

But she did not react much when she was pregnant, and Jia Yuemei did not react much either. As a result, both of them gave birth to girls.

"hope so."

Shen Mingzhu thought for a while and reminded: "Sister-in-law, although work is important, the safety of you and your children is the first priority. If it doesn't work, just take a break and I will send someone over here. I will have time to earn money later, no In a hurry.”

"Mingzhu, don't worry, I know what's going on."

……

Within two days, Qin Jinlian went to the city to find Shen Mingzhu because Jia Yuemei gave birth to a daughter.

"...I hope for the stars and the moon, but it turns out that I am still a girl. You don't know how many people in the village are laughing at our family, saying that you three brothers and sisters are all destined to have a girl, so what's the use of earning more money."

"Especially the old Liu Cuihua, who came to laugh at me. She is very proud now. She has a grandson and grandson. Her daughter is making money by setting up a cold water stall. She walks with a high arrogance... "

After Qin Jinlian finished crying, Shen Mingzhu spoke calmly.

"Who said money is useless? Money is a good thing. With money, it is not a problem to have two or three children."

After Shen Mingzhu's suggestion, Qin Jinlian also came to his senses.

Yes, she has two sons, and both sons have given birth to second children, so she doesn’t believe that she can’t give birth to grandchildren.

"Mingzhu, your eldest brother and sister-in-law listen to you the most. You tell them to hurry up and give birth to the second child. Anyway, they are out of town now, and no one in the village knows even if they are pregnant."

Shen Mingzhu said noncommittally, "You don't have to worry about the elder brother and sister-in-law. Just take care of the second brother and sister-in-law."

Qin Jinlian sighed and said, "There is not much life in the fields during this period. I want to go to the city to do some small business and earn more money. What do you think?"

"Aren't you going to take care of your second sister-in-law's confinement?"

Qin Jinlian curled her lips, "What's a girl to take care of? I'll be upset when I see her."

Although Shen Mingzhu didn't like Jia Yuemei, as a woman, she didn't agree with Qin Jinlian's patriarchal thinking.

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all the second brother's biological children. They are your granddaughter. You are the mother-in-law. It is only natural to take care of your daughter-in-law during the confinement period. The hatred of the confinement period is irreconcilable. Mom, you have to think about it."

When she said this, Qin Jinlian hesitated.

Qin Jinlian is not an evil mother-in-law. She does not want to take care of Jia Yuemei. On the one hand, she is too disappointed not to have her grandson. On the other hand, she cannot stand the ridicule of the villagers, especially Liu Cuihua, and wants to escape.

Under Shen Mingzhu's persuasion, Qin Jinlian decided to take care of Jia Yuemei after her confinement and then come to the city.

……

Tian Wenfang approached Shen Baolan again.

This time it was not about Tian Dayong getting a wife, but because of Black Monkey.

Black Monkey was detained by the police station for three days for being a hooligan and fined 50 yuan.

For this reason, Black Houer's family approached the Tian family and asked the Tian family to pay the 50 yuan. They also asked the Tian family to pay the medical expenses for Black Houer's injured finger and the cost of lost work, a total of 80 yuan.

The Black Houer family and the Tian family were originally relatives, but now they were quarreling over the 80 yuan.

Black Houer's family believes that Black Houer helped Tian Dayong go to the city to "rob people" out of brotherly love, and that's why he encountered "disaster".

However, the Tian family believed that Black Monkey asked for it, who asked him to act like a hooligan.Finally, after mediation by the village chief, each family should bear half of the 80 yuan.

But the Tian family is still unwilling to pay, and the daughter-in-law has become a joke in the village because she didn't get married. Now they have to pay for it from outside, which means they have lost both their wife and their troops.

The Tian family called Tian Wenfang back to her parents' house and cursed her.

After all, it was Tian Wenfang who had the idea to go to the city to "rob people."

The Tian family wants Tian Wenfang to pay for it.

Tian Wenfang was also unwilling to pay the money, so she turned around and approached Shen Baolan.

"Baolan, this was all your idea. You said you wanted to help my eldest brother and Shen Hongmei be a matchmaker. Now Black Monkey wants 40 yuan from my family. You have to pay for it."

Of course Shen Baolan didn't want to, "Why should I step in? It's your Tian family who wants to marry their daughter-in-law, and it's not me who wants to marry her, so don't look for me."

"If you don't pay the money, then you can take the Yuan Bao back and raise it yourself, and I won't help you raise it."

In the past, Shen Baolan might have been threatened by Tian Wenfang.

Nowadays, her cold water stall business is getting better and better, and Ma Sufen feeds her delicious food and drinks like a Bodhisattva.

Even if she takes her son Yuanbao back to the Zhou family, Ma Sufen will help her take care of the baby. She has nothing to be afraid of.

"If you don't take it, pull it down. You can bring the baby back to me tomorrow."

"Why should I send it back to you? You can pick up your own baby yourself."

"I don't have time to pick it up. If you don't send it back, just keep raising it for me."

"Whether you want to pick her up or not, I will throw your baby away at the entrance of the village when I get back. Don't blame me for being abducted."

"Tian Wenfang, how dare you! If anything happens to my Yuanbao, I will pay for it with your son's life!"

"Shen Baolan, you are cruel, don't expect me to help you take care of your baby in the future."

"Oh, who cares? I have plenty of people to help me take care of my baby."

In the end, Tian Wenfang couldn't beat Shen Baolan and asked Shen Hao to send the Yuan Bao back to Zhou's family the next day.

Although the little grandson loves to cry and fuss, but with the blessing of Shen Baolan's aura of making money, this little problem is nothing. Ma Sufen takes care of the little grandson with great willingness.

……

After serving Jia Yuemei during her confinement period, Qin Jinlian went into the city and prepared to continue selling grilled sausages and fried stinky tofu.

But Shen Mingzhu didn't let her sell this.

It’s hot in summer, and food can easily go bad if not stored properly. Grilled sausages and fried stinky tofu are also not popular during this season.

So, Qin Jinlian also set up a cold water stall. By coincidence, she set up a stall on the same street as Shen Baolan.

Qin Jinlian's cold water stall has a much richer variety than Shen Baolan's.

Not only ice powder, cold shrimp, and cold cakes are available, but there are also homemade yogurt popsicles and sugar water.

The flavors of snacks and cold water are all prepared by Shen Mingzhu herself.

Other cold water only has color and sweetness. Shen Mingzhu's cold water is made from white sugar. Different colors also have different fruity aromas. It tastes better than soda.

It is packaged in a plastic bag, soaked in ice water and kept chilled. You can use a straw when drinking, and you can take it away. It is much more convenient than Shen Baolan who can only wait at the stall and drink it in one go.

Qin Jinlian's business was booming every day when she set up her stall, and she was very reluctant to collect money.

In contrast, Shen Baolan's cold water stall business is getting deserted day by day.

Cold water and soda are okay, the former is low-cost, and the latter can be stored, but the popsicles cannot survive the night, and they will disappear if they are not sold out on the same day.

The cold water couldn't be sold, and the popsicles were consumed too much. At the end of the day, instead of making any money, they actually lost money.

……

When she was about to get off work at noon, Shen Mingzhu received a call. Qin Jinlian and Shen Baolan had a fight and both went to the police station. (End of chapter)
