Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Yun’s mother was worried. Her petite and delicate daughter-in-law might struggle a lot when she gives birth, she needed to ensure she was well-nourished.

The chicken eggs from before finally had a purpose.

They were ecstatic, her daughter-in-law got pregnant within just over a month after she started living with their son. This is great news, great news indeed.

“Mom, I can only handle light tasks.”

After breakfast, Yun’s parents reminded Meng Yunhan again before they happily set out for the day.

Although Meng Yunhan said that she couldn’t handle heavy tasks, she was still capable of feeding the pigs.

There she was, with a bamboo basket on her back, gathering pig feed. However, the basket wasn’t as full as usual.

The news of Meng Yunhan’s return had spread like wildfire throughout the village.

Some people were seething with jealousy.

Zhang Cuihua, the elder sister-in-law, and Zhao Fang, the second sister-in-law, were huffing and puffing with anger when they found out Meng Yunhan didn’t need to work and only stayed at home.

Even when Meng Yunhan gave them things, they didn’t show a hint of courtesy.

But, Meng Yunhan didn’t mind and focused on her household chores.

It wasn’t until school started that she began her classes.

Only Yun’s parents knew about her pregnancy; no one else in the village was aware of this.

When the farming work was over, Yun’s mother took Meng Yunhan to the town for a check-up. Indeed, she was pregnant, and it already had been over two months.

Yun’s mother couldn’t be happier.

Soon enough, everyone in the village knew about it.

Naturally, Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang also found out about it.

You might ask if they were bitter? No, they were not.

Although they were the apple of the mother-in-law’s eye during their pregnancies, it wasn’t like they weren’t green with envy.

“Mom, I heard Hanhan is pregnant.” Zhang Cuihua brought ten eggs to the door, trying to suss out what was going on. As an older sister, she felt the need to show concern since her younger sister-in-law was pregnant and had brought gifts for their children before.

“Yes, she is pregnant.” Yun’s mother was thrilled. Her younger son was almost thirty, and by this age, the elder son’s second child was born.

“That’s wonderful, congratulations mom.” Zhang Cuihua congratulated her, a bitter smile on her face.

Thinking about it now, her sister-in-law was indeed very fortunate. Bringing to mind their circumstances back in the day, she felt a pang of bitterness.

However, she had forgotten that life in the countryside was tough back then. If it weren’t for the fortune their father brought back, how could they have raised all their children?

When Zhao Fang came, she didn’t bring any eggs. She would rather trade any eggs she had for a bag of salt.

Despite having been set up independently after their marriage, they received food every year. Now, as her youngest brother got married, why wasn’t he given independence? Were their parents planning to depend on their youngest son in their old age?

“Is elder sister-in-law here? I’ve heard that the youngest sister-in-law is pregnant, so I came to see her.” Zhao Fang arrived empty-handed, but she didn’t show a hint of embarrassment.

Zhang Cuihua just didn’t have Zhao Fang’s thick skin.

Yun’s mother, however, happily said to her two daughters-in-law, “Yes, she is pregnant, already over two months. Now that your younger brother isn’t home, it’s up to us, the old couple, to look after her.”

Zhang Cuihua stood there, speechless as her mother-in-law announced the news before she did.

They were eager for Meng Yunhan to split as well, but with their younger son not at home, if she dared to raise the issue of partition, she feared Yun Hai would teach her a lesson. After all, Yun Hai truly cherished his youngest brother.
