Ma Suyun suddenly retched loudly, causing the conversation in the room to pause briefly.
She seemed a bit embarrassed as she spoke, "Oh dear, you know being pregnant is not easy. This one of ours is another little troublemaker, never staying quiet all day. It’s really wearing me out." She looked at Qin Wu’s wife, "I say, Fifth Sister-in-law, were you like this when you were pregnant?"
Zhou Hongmei, having no serious issues with the couple Qin Wen, and being from the third household, answered simply when asked, "Mine was fairly good, but I did vomit quite a few days. Second Sister-in-law had really good complexion her entire pregnancy."
She intended to compliment Zhang Guilan, but didn’t expect Ma Suyun’s eyes to suddenly brighten.
"I just know this child is definitely a son. You see, the reaction is just like yours was. Truly, a mother and son are connected at heart. I had this feeling ever since I got pregnant. When my son is born, he’ll surely be as clever and smart as your Xiao Hui."
Even though Ma Suyun was praising her son in every sentence, Zhou Hongmei couldn’t even crack a smile.
Thankfully, there was another commotion outside; Qin Jiang and Xu Yun arrived with Jianye.
Once Jianye came, Zhuangzhuang was happy. The two kids pulled Jianjun and Construction to the yard to set off firecrackers.
Qin Jiang and his family lived far away, and Xu Yun rarely saw Lin Chuxia on regular days. After greeting everyone, she looked at Lin Chuxia.
"Long time no see, Sister-in-law. You look really good, seems like you’ve put on a bit of weight. It looks like the water and soil of Yan City suits you well."
Only the family knew about Lin Chuxia’s pregnancy and Qian Chuncao as well.
Xu Yun’s disposition was indifferent; she wasn’t the type who loved gossip and had no idea about Lin Chuxia’s pregnancy.
Coupled with Lin Chuxia wearing thick clothing, her slightly showing belly wasn’t visible.
Ma Suyun had actually noticed Lin Chuxia’s appearance long before.
Lin Chuxia always had fair skin and looked nice, yet Ma Suyun previously really didn’t think much of Lin Chuxia.
She couldn’t figure out why Qin Yang worked outside earning money, while Lin Chuxia just stayed at home to spend it, and still ran out to sell buns?
A woman who is pretty and whose husband isn’t home, exposing herself publicly every day, isn’t she ashamed?
But later on, Ma Suyun didn’t have the qualifications to talk about her in these matters.
Her attire looked very expensive, well maintained with delicate skin, also wearing a red scarf which made her complexion even better.
To say she wasn’t jealous was impossible.
But then again, what does it matter how well her days are going? Beneath the glossy surface, who knows what kind of thoughts are hidden?
A woman without a child, what is the point of earning all that money?
If Qin Yang changed his mind and had a child with another woman, all the money she worked so hard for would eventually be someone else’s.
Thinking this way, Ma Suyun seemed to find her confidence back, pushing her little belly up a bit more.
She was feeling unwell early today but insisted on coming here, all for this moment.
Having been sisters-in-law with Ma Suyun for so many years, Qian Chuncao understood her well.
Seeing her like this, she knew what Ma Suyun was thinking.
Moving silently, she sat beside Lin Chuxia, picking up Xu Yun’s conversation.
"I also see Sister-in-law becoming more beautiful. That little face is all pink, clearly well-nurtured. No wonder they say Sister-in-law is blessed, seems like the child isn’t giving you trouble, right? How many months now?"
Ma Suyun abruptly raised her head towards this at the words.
