Fujujju is a small, cute little ball. It's not like you can just find a big willow tree and there it'll be. You have to see if someone is bringing it along.

On the contrary, her parents felt that they should keep a low profile these days. They had taken advantage of the situation and were no longer as obedient.

Fujujju seems to have finally understood that her parents are very cunning.

Before this, it was just bad luck. Otherwise, I would have been rich already.

Fan Tai didn't dare to visit, after all. The Fu family wasn't short of sons. Even though Fu Sanjin was gone, Fu Dagjin and Fu Erjin, the twin brothers, stood there.

He is tall and imposing, just like the two door gods on either side. If you want to cause trouble, you'd better think twice.

Especially families like the Fan's, who only have daughters, you can't rely on those two once they are married.

Fan Da's mother immediately decided to find a son-in-law for Fan Sanmei.

But Fan Sanmei's reputation was ruined. At this time, the news was spreading wildly, and no one wanted to marry Fan Sanmei for fear of being ridiculed by others.

Tian Guihua was helping Zhou pick out thread, while sighing. Fu Jiujiu sat in her arms, dragging her chin thoughtfully.

"Mother, are you thinking about the three golds?"

Zhou nodded, "Mother, then why didn't you stop Sanjin back then? Sanjin is filial, if you wouldn't let him go, he definitely wouldn't have gone."

"Thanks to my sister-in-law, our lives are better than before. He's not going into the army, and he's doing well at home."

"That's what you say, but Tian Guihua shook her head. "Son of the second family, you are just adding blessings to one now. When you and Erjin have two more in the future, you will know. One bowl of water has to be kept level. I didn't stop Wujin from becoming a doctor, so I can't stop Sijin."

“Mother…” Zhou shi lowered her head and smiled.

Fu Jiujiu, after all, was a young lady in her past life and didn't react immediately. Her usually elegant and composed second sister-in-law had suddenly become shy.

It's still her mother.

Tien Guihua was both surprised and delighted, "Really?"

Zhou nodded shyly, but didn't deny it. "It's just that I haven't had my period this month, and I feel a little nauseous, just like when I was pregnant with Tianfu. It wouldn't hurt to have Wu Jin take a look, would it?"

"Don't look, that's it, can't be wrong."

Tian Guihua muttered Amitabha Buddha in her mouth, both excited and happy. But after a short while, the joy on her face turned into worry, “Lao Er’s family, don't tell anyone about this for now.”

"Mrs. Wu nodded, "Mother, it's not confirmed yet. I haven't told anyone, not even my mother."

Tian Guihua patted her hand, and Fu Jiujiu also followed over.

Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law paid attention, but even if they had seen it, they wouldn't have thought that the little dumpling who spoke incoherently would actually be able to feel pulses.

Fuju also followed suit with joy. The second sister-in-law is indeed pregnant, and she's having two big, fat boys.

She's going to have two more nephews! This time, she's not the youngest in the family anymore.

Tian Guihua patted Wu's hand, "One is what you said, and the other, if your sister-in-law knew that you were pregnant again, she wouldn't feel good in her heart."

"Mother, I understand. Please rest assured."

Tian Guihua took a deep breath, "It's not easy to maintain this family," she said. "Eldest son's family, I feel sorry for you."

Wu shi lightly shook her head, smiling at Fu Jiujiu, "Not wronged, mother, being able to marry into a family like this is the blessing I cultivated in my past life."

"Little aunt, come stand up, let your second sister-in-law measure you. Let's see if the new clothes fit well?"

Fu Jiujiu's new clothes were all made by her second aunt, so she has a better opinion of her second aunt.

Although Second Sister-in-Law's embroidery work is indeed good, the designs are a bit common and somewhat outdated.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also talked about this, Tian Guihua looked at her with worry, “You are not like before now, the family is also better off, you don't have to stay up late to embroider anymore, you should rest more.”

"Mother, I know the two dollars I earned aren't enough to do much, but I don't want to use our family's money to help my own family. I know you and Father don't mind, but I have hands and feet, and I want to do it myself."

Tian Guihua took a deep look at her, "You child..."

"Mother, please rest assured. I have it all under control. Besides, this isn't my first child, so I'm not that particular. Didn't you say that when you gave birth to your three sons, they were all born in the field?"

Tian Guihua smiled, "That said, I don't want you to go through what I went through."

The more she said this, the more Mrs. Wu felt that she had married into a good family. To have such a caring mother-in-law was something many women could only dream of.

Fu Jiujiu thinks her mother-in-law is indeed an open-minded one, no wonder the family is so poor, but elder brother and second brother are still able to marry wives.

However, my second sister-in-law earns very little working this way. This isn't a sustainable solution; I need to help her out.

After Wu's measurements, she didn't offer her opinion. Instead, she first asked Tian Guihua, "Mother, what do you think? What is unsuitable for me to modify again?"

Tian Guihua's lips curled into a smile, her eyes soft. "How could I not be satisfied? Jiujiu is so big now, and all her clothes are made by you with your own hands. You, my dear, are more like her mother than I am."

"Mother, I also like my little sister-in-law. If I could have the same fortune as you and Father, that would be great. This child is also a girl... then me and Second Gold would be content."

Fujujiao stole a glance at Wu Shi. She couldn't bear to tell her that this baby was another son.

"

Whatever it is, it's all from our ancestors' stock, treat them equally, don't think about useless things.

Mrs. Wu smiled gently. It wasn't because of the high status of the Fu family's daughter, nor was it because she had a son and wanted a daughter to complete her family. She just yearned for both a son and a daughter.

Mrs. Wu was not a delicate flower; even when Fu Erjin returned from the fields, she would still tend to the fire and cook. However, Tian Guihua disagreed with this.

"Old man, you're not missing any arms or legs, nor are you seventy or eighty years old. Are you waiting for me, your own mother, to cook the meal and bring it to you?"

Tian Guihua really couldn't stand it anymore. She knew clearly who did the most work usually, but now she still had to consider Wu Shi's health.

Mrs. Zhou staggered out of the house, looking weak and helpless. "Mother," she said, "I'm not feeling well, am I? Besides, doesn't the second son's family cook?"

Tian Guihua sighed, "I ate three eggs and two steamed buns this morning. I ate more than the guys doing heavy work! How come I didn't see you looking like a patient back then?"

"Come on, just do this one thing. Take something heavy if you can't do anything else."

"The second son's, you made breakfast, for lunch let your sister-in-law do it, you go and rest for a while."

Ms. Wu didn't say much, she knew that the more humble she was at this moment, the more unhappy her sister-in-law would be.

Even if she didn't say anything, Zhou was still angry. That night, she complained to Fu Dajin.

Fu Dajin shook his head like a tambourine, "No way, our mother is the most impartial. If anyone needs to be said to be biased, it's towards you more. Don't you see how the second son usually does more chores?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou shi was unhappy and pinched Fu Dagjin's hard arm hard, "When have you ever seen me favor you? Have I given you more cloth or money?"
