NovelEnglishAfter Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 572 Things To NoteQiao Mei did not think so. Instead, she felt that no one from Qiao Zhuang's family would dare to touch her. Putting aside whether Xia Zhe was around or not, even if she went to look for Qiao Zhuang's family alone, they would still be afraid that something would happen to Qiao Mei and would not really go after her.
"Don't worry, aunties. I know what I'm doing. I won't put myself in danger!" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
The women felt relieved. As long as Qiao Mei was fine, they were at ease.
Besides, Wang Qin would not be the brigade accountant for much longer. The person taking on this position was chosen once every two years. Wang Qin could be the brigade accountant for so many years only because Qiao Zhuang's family was not to be trifled with.
If anyone dared to choose not to vote for Wang Qin, Qiao Gui would bring his brother to go from house to house to find those people until everyone agreed to vote for Wang Qin.
"Mei Mei, how many months pregnant are you? When's your due date?" Auntie Dong asked.

Two!
There had not been anyone in the entire village who got pregnant with two babies at once! Such good fortune was not something that ordinary people could have!
"Oh my! Let me take a look! I've never seen anyone pregnant with two children!" Auntie Dong circled Qiao Mei excitedly while the other women looked at her enviously.
During this period of time, people tended to favor boys over girls because men could do a lot of farm work. The more men in a family, the more rations and money they would have. If Qiao Mei gave birth to two sons, her family would definitely have a prosperous life!
However, it was not a bad thing to have two daughters. The older generation always said that daughters were considerate little sweethearts. When they grew up, they would be very attentive and filial, and much more considerate than sons.
Everyone hoped that Qiao Mei was pregnant with a boy and a girl!
This was called prosperity brought by the dragon and phoenix! It was a great thing!
"Auntie, I'm not sure yet. There are still a few months to go," Qiao Mei said shyly.
"That's right, Auntie Dong. It's as if Qiao Mei is your daughter. Look at how anxious you are!" Auntie Wang said with a laugh.
Auntie Dong did not care about what others said at all. She even wished that Qiao Mei was really her daughter!
"The children you're carrying are so obedient. They don't torture you. Back when I was pregnant with my son, I felt terrible. I felt like throwing up whenever I smelled stir-fried vegetables!" Auntie Dong said enviously.
All the women present had given birth and raised children before. They all had sons and daughters and had a lot of experience.
Among the women here, Auntie Feng was the most experienced. She got married at the age of 18 and had eight children by now! The oldest few were already married and had their own children, while the youngest was still studying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Auntie Feng, do you have any experience to impart to me? This is my first time giving birth and I'm a little uncertain," Qiao Mei said.
"Actually, I don't have much experience. When I gave birth to my second son, I was still working in the field! As I raised my arm to lift the hoe, I felt that I was about to give birth! My second son was born in the field, so his name is Feng Tian. The rest of the children were born quite smoothly and I did not feel any discomfort," Auntie Feng said.
Auntie Dong grabbed Qiao Mei's arm and said, "You have to eat well and make sure you get your nutrition. You need a lot of calcium when you're pregnant! You have to replenish your calcium! Otherwise, what if your health becomes worse after giving birth?"
"That's right. You indeed need to replenish your calcium and you can't touch cold water. Otherwise, you'll fall ill after giving birth. Back then, I was pregnant and taking care of my eldest son at the same time, and also did all the housework. Now, whenever it's windy, rainy or cold, my fingers and legs will hurt terribly!" Auntie Wang said as she stretched out her tanned hands.
Her hands were extremely rough. It was obvious that she had been doing farm work for a long time and did a lot of work. Moreover, her joints were a little protruding. It was very likely that she had some minor illnesses.
"I understand. I'll pay attention to these things!" Qiao Mei seriously took note of all these things.
"Qiao Mei, is there anything you feel like eating? Tell us aunties and we'll make you whatever you want to eat," Auntie Wang asked.
"That's right, tell us!" the other women asked in unison.
There was really nothing that she particularly craved for. She was fine with her usual diet and did not have any special needs. Her preferences also remained the same as before.
