"Dad said you’d be coming home soon," she said. "Elder sister-in-law Kang has been cleaning up your room every day, wiping the tables, and sweeping the bed platform..."
"I know my sisters-in-law are the best to me." Saying this, Kang Li stepped forward and took the wok spatula from Third sister-in-law Kang’s hand. "Third sister-in-law, you’re showing now; you should be more careful. I’ll cook, and you take a break."
"It’s nothing."
Third sister-in-law Kang shook her head. She stood at the kitchen door, making way for Kang Li, and said, "In the village, women who are pregnant mostly work in the fields until the day before they give birth. Some even have their babies right there in the fields." However, she was lucky; she had married into a family and met a mother-in-law who was sensible and did not wear down her daughters-in-law.
Indeed, compared to most of the daughters-in-law in the village, her mother-in-law took good care of them once they were pregnant.
She never cared whether they were carrying a boy or a girl. During the pregnancy, they got an egg every day; in the month before delivery, she wouldn’t let them work in the fields, only allowing them to do some light housework to keep active, which facilitated a smooth delivery.
"Whatever others do, we don’t care. Now that I’m here to lend a hand, even if Third sister-in-law doesn’t lie down, she should at least sit on a chair and rest, to avoid standing too long and getting leg cramps or swollen feet."
Hearing Kang Li say this, Third sister-inlaw Kang smiled, "Alright, I’ll go sit in the chair."
"And mom?"
The old lady wasn’t in the main hall or the kitchen. Where could she be?
Elder sister-in-law Kang said, "Auntie Zhou and her daughter-in-law’s mother from Zhou Family had a row for some reason. Someone saw them fighting and ran to our house to get our mom to mediate."
As for the Zhou Family, people from the Old Kang’s Home had little regard for them nowadays. If Kang Li hadn’t just asked about her mother’s whereabouts, Elder sister-in-law Kang certainly wouldn’t have mentioned the Zhou Family in front of Kang Li.
To avoid annoying Kang Li.
