Chapter 18 The Wife of the Fifties (18)

  "It's okay if she's ugly and uneducated. She knows how to serve others. Isn't she much better than you guys who don't even have to do housework?" Aunt Li curled her lips at the two of them.

  Guo Meiyun wanted to argue with them, but was stopped by Lin Jin in a low voice: "Meiyun, we have something important to do today. Don't lose the big picture for the small one!"

  Guo Meiyun thought about it and looked at Zhu Yun with a sidelong glance, her eyes full of pride. She thought that she would soon become Mr. Chu's other half, while Zhu Yun, an ugly village woman, was only fit to be someone's stepmother, and even her house and salary would have to be handed over to the government. She felt so happy!

  "Yes, Jinjin, you haven't eaten well recently. You have to eat your fill today!"

  She didn't believe it. In front of so many people, Zhu Yun, who helped with the cooking, could really chase the guests away?
  Lin Jin also smiled and nodded: "I'm hungry after hearing what you said. Dinner is about to start. Let's go and eat."

  Before she left, she smiled at Zhu Yun and said, "Comrade Zhu, you've worked hard."

  Her smug look made Zhu Yun sneer.

  "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come to eat. I didn't consider the needs of pregnant women when I cooked. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat a lot of the food."

  "Why can't you eat it?" Guo Meiyun looked at the large plates of food that began to be served, and couldn't help asking, just wanting to see Zhu Yun's struggle before she died. "Others can eat it, but Lin Jin can't?"

  Zhu Yun nodded seriously and said seriously, "You can't eat spicy rabbit cubes, right? I heard from the old people that if you eat rabbit meat, the child will have a three-lobed mouth."

  Aunt Li nodded gloatingly, "It's true. There is a child in our Lao Li Village who has a cleft lip. Her mouth is split here. I heard that her mother was greedy and ate rabbit when she was pregnant with her."

  "There's a full table of food. You can't eat this, but there are other things?" Guo Meiyun hummed.

  "Maoxuewang is very oily and spicy. Eating it will cause constipation and cause hemorrhoids when a pregnant woman gives birth!"

  "Lychee fish is made with black fish. If you eat it, the child will have a dark complexion, just like me..."

  "I use wine to stew lion's head, spare ribs, beggar's chicken, and roe deer meat. Can pregnant women drink alcohol? Preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, and bacon are pickled products. Putting too much food in them will affect the development of the fetus."

  "The baby in the belly is not as tough as the one who is already running and jumping. If Comrade Lin is not afraid and eats it casually, it will be like taking chronic poison. If a black, short, and disabled child is born, please don't blame me. I can only say that you are too greedy!"

  Lin Jin stared with her eyes wide open. There was an enticing smell of food under her nose. After hearing what Zhu Yun said, she really didn't dare to eat it. After all, the two of them didn't get along. Who knew if there was any drug in the food?

  "Well, then I can't just sit there and do nothing, can I?" She gritted her teeth, looking like a bullied young wife, with tears in her eyes.

  "The stir-fried Chinese cabbage and mushroom rapeseed also have chili peppers, and the fried buns also have a lot of seasonings. You can only eat corn steamed buns and steamed wild vegetables." Zhu Yun shrugged and said helplessly.
