Mu Xueqing's Psychological Shadow
Chapter 939 Mu Xueqing's Psychological Shadow
Wang An was alerted when he heard this. He grabbed Bai Xuezi's hand and asked:
"What's wrong, wife? If you have something to say, just tell me. Why would you discuss it with your man?"
Mu Xueqing paused, then thought for a moment and said:
"I'm getting more and more clumsy, and I don't feel like doing anything. And you said you were going to carry a mallet in a couple of days, so why don't you not go first, and wait until I give birth to the baby, that is, next year or the year after, and then go?"
Wang An couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, mainly because he didn't expect Mu Xueqing to suddenly say this.
However, Wang An quickly figured out the crux of the problem. Mu Xueqing felt insecure because her belly was too big.
After all, for a woman, giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell, so it is normal for Mu Xueqing to feel scared.
After a brief thought, Wang An said to Mu Xueqing with a smile:
"Yes, that's fine. If you don't want to go, then I won't go for now. Anyway, the stick is there, so I can go anytime. It's the same if I wait until the child is older."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xueqing couldn't help but turn sideways and hug Wang An, then she said in a very rare and soft voice:
"I don't know what's wrong with me lately. When I think about you going into the mountains in a few days and not being able to come back for more than a month, I feel so uneasy."
To be honest, this is the second time that Wang An has seen Mu Xueqing so weak and helpless since he was reborn.
As for the first time, it was when Wang An went to the county town for the first time after his rebirth. At that time, Mu Xueqing was particularly vulnerable because she knew that she could not escape the fate of marrying Zheng Fei.
Wang An patted Mu Xueqing on the back and said with a smile:
"I won't worry about it this time. I won't go. Haha. During this period of time, I will help my parents to take care of the crops. When I have nothing to do, I will go to catch some fish, or pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables near home."
Mu Xueqing said "hmm" softly, and then said:
"When my mother gave birth to Xueting, I was right beside her. But because of the lack of nutrition, she fainted from exhaustion halfway through giving birth to Xueting."
At this point, Mu Xueqing's tone became noticeably trembling, as if the scene at that time appeared before her eyes again.
Wang An continued to pat Mu Xueqing's back, and heard Mu Xueqing continue to say:
"I was so scared at the time that my brain was in a state of confusion. I just kept screaming and yelling. I almost lost my voice. Luckily, before Xueting was born, my father cut some honey from the mountains and dissolved it in water and gave it to my mother. Otherwise, my mother and Xueting might have… might have died."
Having said this, Mu Xueqing couldn't continue and began to sob softly.
It can be seen that when Liu Ruxin gave birth, Mu Xueqing, who was only 14 years old, was really frightened, causing her to still not get out of that shadow.
To be honest, this is only because Mu Xueqing is strong. If a woman with poor mental quality were to be scared, she would probably not dare to have children for the rest of her life.
For a moment, Wang An didn't know what to say. The main thing was that when it came to having a child, Wang An couldn't replace Mu Xueqing, so it was really a bit difficult to deal with.
After thinking for a long time, Wang An said:
"Don't be afraid, wife. When your due date is almost here, we will go to the county hospital for hospitalization. It will be safe for us to give birth in the hospital then."
Wang An changed his position and patted Mu Xueqing's smooth buttocks, and continued to comfort her:
"Don't be scared, it's okay. Let's stay in the hospital for a few more days and we'll be discharged when you're fully recovered."
In this way, Wang An kept nagging and comforting Mu Xueqing for a long time, and Mu Xueqing fell asleep in Wang An's arms without knowing when.
Wang An took a deep breath and closed his eyes. It is said that pregnant women are sensitive and fragile, and they always think of useless things. Now it seems to be true.
But to be frank, Mu Xueqing has behaved well enough since she became pregnant, and it was only now that she was too far along that her vulnerable side was revealed.
However, to Wang An, ginseng digging and other things are not as important as his wife and future children. Not to mention not going to dig ginseng this year, even if he does not go in the future, it is a meaningless matter.
There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.
While eating breakfast, Wang An took the initiative to talk to Wang Dazhu and his wife:
"Dad, Mom, I thought about it yesterday. I think the mallets we have now are enough. I won't go to carry the mallets anymore. I'll go again in a few years when I have time."
As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Liu Guilan said:
"Well, it's right not to go. I talked about this with your father before going to bed last night. These days are not peaceful at all. These villages have been experiencing one thing after another. Besides, Xueqing is getting old, so it's good for you to just stay at home and take care of her."
The four words "ye ge tian shang" are the local dialect. "ye ge" means yesterday and "tian shang" means night, so "ye ge tian shang" means last night.
After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang Dazhu added:
"Well, we have money and food now, so it's not worth it to go to the mountains all the time. Besides, the stick is not that easy to lift. I heard that if it's a little low, you can't even see the stick seedlings in front of you."
Just like that, Wang Dazhu and his wife took turns saying some things that showed they were unwilling to let Wang An go into the mountains to dig ginseng, but Wang An never interrupted them.
After the couple finished talking, Wang An said:
"Well, I don't have anything to do today, so I'll go to the fields with you guys. By the way, how many acres of land do we still have to cultivate?"
Liu Guilan took a bite of the steamed bun, then said while picking up some vegetables:
"We don't need you to work in the fields anymore. Your father and I will be done in a few days. You can just stay at home and take care of our livestock."
Wang Dazhu followed up by saying:
"By the way, there are only a few fish left in our tank, and the water in the fish pond is almost full. If you have time, let Xiaoyi help you, and you two can go to the river to catch some fish and put them in the pond."
Wang An nodded in agreement, picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of millet porridge.
You know what, this millet porridge tastes better than cornmeal porridge.
Amidst the discussions, the whole family quickly finished their breakfast.
After breakfast, Wang Dazhui and his wife and Shen Wei and their two companions drove the horse-drawn carriage to the field, while Wang An pushed a wheelbarrow with a shovel in it and walked into the stable.
After cleaning the manure in the stable, Wang An called Wang Yi and said:
"Xiaoyi, go find the fishing nets, let's go."
