Shu Tingting smiled and didn’t mention the matter again.
“By the way, Aunt Shu, you are not lying in bed every day now, are you?”
Shu Tingting made a helpless gesture, “That’s right. Ever since she found out I was pregnant, the old lady’s attitude towards me has changed. She makes me lie in bed every day and has left all the hard work at home to the servants. They would think it was a big deal even if I just got up and walked around.”
Ling Xi frowned slightly, “You do need to rest more during the first three months of pregnancy, but now it’s already more than five months, you should definitely move around a bit, which will help with a normal birth.”
“You do not say!”
…When the old lady saw Ling Xi supporting Shu Tingting walking down the stairs, she immediately became anxious, “Eldest daughter-in-law, didn’t I tell you to rest and take care of your baby upstairs? Why did you come down?”
“Mom, I’ve been lying in bed for too long, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable.”
“What? Your stomach is upset? Then…”
Seeing the old lady’s anxious look, Ling Xi couldn’t help but complain in her heart. The old lady was obviously worried about the baby in Shu Tingting’s belly. “Grandma, don’t be nervous. Pregnant women will definitely feel uncomfortable if they lie in bed for a long time. Walking around in moderation is good for both pregnant women and babies.”
Hearing that it was Ling Xi who said this, the old lady felt that it made some sense, “Well, eldest daughter-in-law, if you feel bored in the future, come downstairs and walk around.”
“Thank you, Mom.” Finally, she was not limited to the bedroom.
“Eh? Do you know each other?” The old lady was surprised to find that they seemed to know each other.
“Yes, Mom, do you still remember the misunderstanding last time? I was the one who called Ling Xi.”
Of course the old lady remembered. Last time, she mistakenly thought that Shu Tingting was having an extramarital affair. She was so angry that she was hospitalized. Later, she found out that she was calling a girl, and it turned out to be Ling Xi!
“So it’s Ling Xi. The third son’s wife is really something. She didn’t even bother to tell me after she had figured it out last time.”
Since the eldest son’s wife knew this girl, it would be easy.
…
At the dining table, Ling Xi just felt that the gazes directed at her were so… weird.
Meng Xicheng and Meng Haotian both rushed back from the company specially. Hearing Meng Yang’s urgent tone, they thought something had happened to their mother.
Meng Xicheng had heard from Shu Tingting that this was a junior she knew, “Ling Xi, right? Come, eat more food, treat this as your own home, don’t be so restrained.”
Ling Xi nodded gently, “Thank you, uncle.”
Meng Haotian didn’t care too much. It would be better to let his son choose his wife himself. He didn’t want to interfere too much.
The old lady winked at Shu Tingting, but Shu Tingting just buried her head in eating and pretended not to see it.
She had no choice but to wink at Jiang Nan and ask her to ask Ling Xi.
Jiang Nan put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, “Ling Xi, my aunt’s cooking skills are not that good. It is definitely not as delicious as the food your parents make. Please don’t be disgusted!” This first sentence was to bring the two of them closer.
“No, Auntie, the food you cook is delicious too.”
“Have you ever cooked at home?” The second sentence was to find out her status in the family. A truly spoiled young lady would never have to do any housework at home.
Ling Xi’s eyes moved gently, “I usually cook for my husband.”
With just this one sentence, they all put down their chopsticks and looked at the girl.
