Chapter 176: Before Chinese New Year (3)
It was two days before the New Year, everyone was relatively active. Many people wanted to go shopping in the town for the New Year.
Although the people in the countryside had a hard life, there were people who lived well, such as w.a.n.g Mingtao’s family.
Tomorrow would be the Chinese New Year. Today, there would be a bullock cart by w.a.n.g Qingshan going to the town. Many people wanted to follow and just stroll around.
Qinghe Brigade was not too far away from the town. At this time, the people did not have much entertainment, but were more keen to go out and have a look.
Zhang Xiaohui, Gu Ruoqing and Old Madam Zhang took the bullock cart and looked for w.a.n.g Guozhu.
Everyone in the car looked at Zhang Xiaohui, and their eyes were always on her belly intentionally or unintentionally.
Everyone was wearing thick clothes now. No one could tell whether Zhang Xiaohui was pregnant from her fat cotton jacket.
But they all saw her pregnancy reactions.
Her reactions were extremely severe due to the drug that Gu Qingyao gave her. She vomited frequently and always slept. She also ate a lot.
The Zhang family had been taking care of her. If it weren’t for the stuff that w.a.n.g Guozhu offered, Old Madam Zhang could not tolerate it further.
Zhang Xiaohui ate a lot and vomited after every meal. She was lazy and was not willing to do any work. She really wanted her to get married in order to get some offerings in return.
w.a.n.g Guozhu was generous when he first knew that Zhang Xiaohui was pregnant and bought her many things. Old Madam Zhang could also benefit from that. However, w.a.n.g Guozhu did not offer anything recently and Old Madam Zhang was not pleased by that.
She wanted to look for w.a.n.g Guozhu for stuff for Chinese New Year.
When the bullock cart arrived at the county seat, Mrs. Zhang accompanied Zhang Xiaohui to find w.a.n.g Guozhu.
w.a.n.g Guozhu was so angry with Zhou Hong that she did not even return home now.
He went to the same small courtyard with Zhang Xiaohui when she came to find him.
“Guozhu, the child has grown very well recently, and I can sometimes feel that he is kicking me. Looking at this belly, my mother and sister-in-law both said that it must be a boy!”
w.a.n.g Guozhu felt better after hearing this.
“Yes, that must be a boy. The w.a.n.g family will finally have a son. I will take care of him and give my everything to him.”
w.a.n.g Guozhu dreamed of having a son. He had high expectations when he stared at Zhang Xiaohui’s belly.
Gu Ruoqing frowned upon hearing that.
She had always followed her Mom to look for her dad. Initially, her dad was very nice to her and told her that she was much more obedient than Zhou Xiaoyu.
At that time, he gave her a lot of pocket money and a lot of delicious food. He said that, in the future, he would marry her mother and she would be a girl in the city. He would give her even better things.
And now he said he wanted to give all to his little brother?
Was that a joke?
Zhang Xiaohui looked at w.a.n.g Guozhu and smiled: “Guozhu, when can you and Zhou Hong divorce? Have you agreed on a specific time?”
This matter was too important to Zhang Xiaohui. She could not wait anymore. She really wanted to marry w.a.n.g Guozhu immediately and move to the city.
She still wanted to confirm that though w.a.n.g Guozhu told her once that he would get divorced after the Chinese New Year.
When it came to this topic, w.a.n.g Guozhu’s expression changed. There was no affirmation to what Zhang Xiaohui expected, but w.a.n.g Guozhu still said: “Don’t worry, I will definitely get divorced after the Chinese New Year. I don’t want that woman anymore. She didn’t even give a son all these years. She’s just useless.”
