The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 236 Morning Sickness

How severe is Zhang Hongjuan's morning sickness? She would vomit right after eating. Even if she didn't eat and only drank water, the water she drank would be vomited out.

For this reason, she no longer eats with the group, so as not to spoil other people's appetites.

She ordered her three meals a day herself and had them delivered to her room. However, she clearly wanted to eat that kind of food before, but when it was served and she smelled the taste of it, she started vomiting for no reason.

Wherever she went, there would be a spittoon ready for her to vomit in at any time.

In fact, she didn't dare walk around for fear of smelling something that would trigger her vomiting symptoms again.

Most of the time she lay on the couch or bed, with someone staying by her side to guard the spittoon for her. Once she vomited, the person would take it out and clean it immediately to avoid smelling in the room.

In order to stop Zhang Hongjuan's pregnancy vomiting, Qin Ruozhi and Dr. Qian tried many methods, such as ginger tea, Pinellia pills and Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction, but they were all ineffective. She still vomited violently every day.

These are proven recipes that have worked for other pregnant women, but they are useless to Zhang Hongjuan. There is no other way to think of, so she can only let her get through it on her own.

Even though she was vomiting a lot, Zhang Hongjuan still forced herself to eat every day. She ate the tasteless white porridge and noodles. Even if she vomited after eating, she would still eat it to provide nutrition for her child.

After vomiting for half a month, Zhang Hongjuan had obviously lost a lot of weight, and her belly became more prominent and slightly bulging.

Chang'an felt extremely distressed, but he could do nothing about it because he was also one of the reasons why Zhang Hongjuan vomited.

He didn't know why, but even though he felt he had no smell, as soon as he got close to his wife, she would say he smelled bad and he would immediately want to vomit. It was no use even after he took a thorough shower and changed his clothes.

In order to make her feel better, they had to sleep in separate rooms. He lived in the study, and even when they talked, they were separated by a long distance.

In order to help Zhang Hongjuan eat more and stop vomiting, Chang'an asked people for many folk remedies and bought a lot of food that he thought would be useful, including various pickled candied fruits. But Zhang Hongjuan wanted to vomit just by smelling them, let alone eating them.

During the past half month, Zhang Hongjuan couldn't eat, and Chang'an also lost weight. Both of them looked very haggard.

But the miraculous thing was that one day, Zhang Hongjuan suddenly stopped vomiting, and her appetite increased greatly, and she ordered a lot of food she wanted.

Chen Cui quickly ordered people to prepare, and if they couldn't make it at home, they would go to the street to buy it, to make sure she got what she wanted.

Regardless of whether she can eat it or whether she will vomit after eating, she, as the mother-in-law, must do her job well and not let her daughter-in-law feel unhappy.

Although she knew that both the eldest and second daughter-in-law were not petty, and both had different perspectives and broad minds, this did not mean that she did not need to be careful when getting along with her daughters-in-law.

The friendship between people comes from getting along with each other. Put yourself in others' shoes and treat others the way you want to be treated.

There is a saying that goes: "The first ten years depend on the mother-in-law, the second ten years depend on the daughter-in-law."

The first ten years after a daughter-in-law enters her husband's family are the most difficult days for her, because she has just entered a new family, adapted to the environment, and it is very hard to get pregnant, give birth, take care of the child, and take care of the child. If she has to go to work at the same time, it will be even more difficult.

If the mother-in-law can understand and care for her daughter-in-law at this time, and try her best to help her and reduce the burden on the young people, the daughter-in-law will be very grateful, and she will give the same care and attention to her mother-in-law when she is old and needs her.

Although Chen Cui had heard this proverb in modern times, it was also applicable in ancient times.

She will get old one day, and her daughter-in-law will definitely be the one in charge of the family. Even if she may not necessarily fall to the point of having to look at her daughter-in-law's face, there is no harm in treating her daughter-in-law well at this time.

After all, there is always a difference between saving face and treating each other sincerely.

Zhang Hongjuan couldn't stop swallowing her saliva at the table full of delicious food, but she had ordered too much on impulse just now, and now realized that she couldn't finish all of it.

But she really wanted to eat them all and couldn't choose which one to give up.

"It's okay, just eat whatever you want, even if it's just one bite. Don't worry, the rest of the food won't be wasted."

Chen Cui saw her dilemma and comforted her softly.

Zhang Hongjuan was greatly encouraged by seeing her mother-in-law's kind face. She picked up her chopsticks and started to quickly pick up food and put it into her mouth.

In a quarter of an hour, she had tasted all the dishes on the table. She only took two bites of each dish. At this moment, she felt her stomach was fuller than ever before.

However, she was still a little worried, so she asked someone to bring a spittoon to her so that she could use it at any time.

After waiting for a while, she still didn't feel like vomiting. Zhang Hongjuan was so happy that she cried. It felt so good to not have vomiting during pregnancy!

"Mom, mom, I won't vomit anymore, I really won't vomit anymore!"

She held Chen Cui's hand and shouted happily.

"Yes, yes, you really didn't vomit anymore. You finally made it through this. Everything will be fine from now on!"

Chen Cui also felt relieved. She had to worry about her daughter-in-law because she was restless. Now that she is no longer pregnant and vomiting, she can eat and drink well in the future, which will save her a lot of trouble!

Even if the eldest daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, it is not good for her to interfere too much in the affairs of her sisters-in-law. This requires Chen Cui, the mother-in-law, to pay more attention.

From that day on, the morning sickness that had tormented Zhang Hongjuan for more than 20 days suddenly disappeared without any medication, and she was finally freed from the state of vomiting all day long!

Changan was finally able to get closer to his wife and moved back into their bedroom.

Before getting married, he was a young boy who had only a vague understanding of matters between men and women. But after getting married and having a wife, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and he has been enjoying it ever since.

After being married for so long, he has become accustomed to sleeping with his wife in his arms every day. Even though his wife can't do anything after she became pregnant, the two of them sleeping with their heads touching and feet touching, the feeling is different.

But because his wife couldn't stand his smell and would vomit when she smelled it, he had been sleeping in the study for more than 20 days. He was alone on his pillow every night and felt lonely as the snow!

Now he can finally move back home and sleep with his wife in his arms every day!

With the instructions of Chen Cui and Qin Ruozhi, the Liu family's kitchen prepared various delicious dishes according to the Second Young Lady's requirements, so that the food was different every day.

Chang'an also felt sorry for his daughter-in-law's hard work and suffering these days, and he would bring some delicious food back from the yamen almost every day. Madam Zhang would also send people to bring her daughter special foods from her hometown in Shu from time to time.

With much attention and feeding from all sides, Zhang Hongjuan quickly gained back the weight she had lost due to morning sickness, and her belly grew rapidly as if it was inflated!
