Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1210: Trouble

Editor: Henyee Translations

She had no interest in engaging in disputes with a group of individuals she considered unintelligent.

After enduring a challenging 10 months of pregnancy, Ms. Yuan faced difficulties, yet she managed to successfully give birth to her child.

Ms. Qin and Zhao Zhai were thoroughly entertained by the new addition, a boy.

Zhao Mu was equally elated. After all, he had become a grandfather!

However, tragedy struck before the child could even reach one month of age; he passed away within the first seven days.

The event unfolded in the midst of the night, with Ms. Qin’s shrieks rousing Ms. Zheng from her distant position in the yard.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zheng exchanged a knowing glance with Auntie Yin. Neither of them exhibited surprise.

In a hushed tone, Auntie Yin muttered, “What a tragic fate…”

Indeed, it was a tragedy. Ms. Ruan had only recently turned 15 at the time of her pregnancy, while Zhao Di was merely 14. Their youth and immaturity made it an exceptional occurrence that Ms. Ruan even managed to carry the pregnancy to term and deliver a child. Expecting the child to be healthy seemed unrealistic.

The child had never even left the confines of the room he was born in.

Fearing Ms. Zheng’s potential jealousy and harm towards the child, Ms. Qin justified her decision to keep the child secluded, asserting that he was too fragile for the outside world. In an attempt to bridge the gap, Ms. Zheng sent Auntie Yin to visit, though she was denied entry.

No members of the immediate family ventured into the room.

Ms. Qin struggled to lay blame on Ms. Zheng for the child’s demise, with no plausible excuse at hand.

Adding to the intrigue, the doctor claimed the child’s weakness was the primary reason for his premature death, refuting any notion of foul play. Despite this explanation, Ms. Qin maintained her stance that foul play was involved and pushed for a thorough investigation.

Zhao Mu’s outburst silenced her protests.

Unforeseen by Ms. Qin, Ms. Ruan found herself pregnant again within a mere four months.

This time, Ms. Qin exercised even greater caution, keeping Ms. Ruan within the yard’s boundaries and under close supervision.

She grieved deeply for her late grandson, who had been the eldest among the Zhao Family’s grandchildren, symbolizing a significant portion of their wealth.

Yet, in an instant, it was all gone.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Yuan’s second child was also stillborn—a son, once again.

Witnessing this, Ms. Qin broke into tears anew, and Ms. Ruan’s crying showed no signs of abating either.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was undeniably strained, marked by hardship.

Ms. Zheng, for sure, took a certain satisfaction in this situation. However, a pang of sympathy for Ms. Ruan also welled up within her. Ms. Qin had squandered the opportunity to nurture such a promising young woman.

It seemed just yesterday that Ms. Ruan was merely a ten-year-old, nestled in her mother’s arms, full of innocent pleas. But due to the successive loss of two children, her countenance had transformed—pale, haggard, and perpetually furrowed. As though all vitality had been sapped from her, leaving behind a mere semblance of her former self.

Startled, Ms. Zheng crossed paths with her.

Anticipating her own unpleasant fate, Ms. Zheng was aware that living under the sway of someone like Ms. Qin, her prospects were grim. Two consecutive child losses had already plunged her into a state of sorrow and trepidation. Ms. Qin was bound to heap blame and reprimand upon her. Zhao Zhai, who obediently followed Ms. Qin’s every word, provided no solace. He wasn’t someone she could rely on.

Still, Ms. Zheng hadn’t foreseen the extent to which Ms. Yuan’s condition had deteriorated.

However, that was the affair of Ms. Qin and her son. It was a matter Ms. Zheng chose not to involve herself in.

What relevance did it have to her?

Ms. Qin’s relentless antagonism persisted, perpetually clashing about her “grandchildren.” Ms. Qin seemed to have been exceptionally fortunate, and she harbored a desire for her daughter-in-law to endure and persevere.

In a span of just five months, Ms. Yuan found herself pregnant once more!

Ms. Zheng and the first section members of the family could only respond with astonished admiration.
