Chapter 817: She Couldn’t Take It Anymore

At Wang Yunfa’s vegetable stall.
The old lady came by bus early in the morning with a bag of green apples and sour plums.
Ever since she started coming to the shop to help, she bought some sour food almost every two to three days. At first, Li Xia could still eat them since it was considered something different, but as time passed, she could not stand it anymore.
Even if she was pregnant with a son, she shouldn’t be eating like this, right?
These days, everything in her mouth was sour.
She had just gotten pregnant not long ago. When she thought about eating until she gave birth, Li Xia felt she could not take it anymore.
Seeing that the old lady had washed the green apples for her, Li Xia finally said, “Mom, I really can’t eat these anymore. Even my saliva is sour now.”
When the old lady heard this, she was not angry. Instead, she looked at Li Xia with concern and said, “Then tell Mom what you want to eat?”
Seeing that the old lady was not angry, Li Xia could not help but feel a little relieved. She became bolder and said to the old lady, “A braised chicken feet stall opened at the intersection. I want to eat chicken feet. Something spicy.”
“Chicken feet?” The old lady asked and nodded. “Alright, Mom will buy them for you.”
Seeing the old lady leave the shop, Li Xia couldn’t help but blink in surprise.
When she heard she wanted to eat spicy food, the old lady did not react. Was she overthinking?
As she was thinking, she saw Wang Yunfa.
“I saw Mom going towards the intersection just now. What is she doing?” Wang Yunfa asked Li Xia.
When Li Xia heard this, she couldn’t help but smile and reply, “Mom washed apples for me again just now. I said that I didn’t want to eat apples and wanted to eat spicy chicken feet, so Mom said that she would buy them for me.”
When Wang Yunfa heard this, he couldn’t help but be surprised. “Mom isn’t angry?”
“No!” Li Xia glared at him. “Would she really buy chicken feet for me if she’s angry?”
Wang Yunfa couldn’t help but nod. He looked at Li Xia and smiled. “Isn’t that your fault, then? You thought of Mom as an unreasonable person. You said that you were pregnant and wanted to eat something delicious. How could she not listen to you? How could she not let you eat?”
Li Xia thought so too and nodded.
Perhaps this old lady thought she liked to eat sour food because she was pregnant, so she kept buying sour food for her.
Not long after, Li Xia realized she was overthinking things.
Old Madam Wang bought three catties of chicken feet. It was spicy.
But it was sour and spicy…
Moreover, the ratio of chili and vinegar was severely imbalanced. One could barely taste a little spice in the strong sourness.
In the jargon of the industry—it was slightly spicy with more vinegar!
As if not seeing the frozen expression on Li Xia’s face, the old lady smiled and said, “His family business is so good. Many people are queuing up. Mom bought more for you since you like to eat them.”
Li Xia felt a foul air in her heart and looked up at Wang Yunfa expressionlessly.
Wang Yunfa avoided her gaze and turned around, pretending to work.
She did not dare to lose her temper at her mother-in-law, but she could not count on her husband. Li Xia felt aggrieved and helpless.
This could not continue. She could not possibly spend the next few months like this. She would be so angry that she might suffer a miscarriage.
She thought for a moment and asked the old lady not to come to the vegetable stall to help in the future.
Or she could return to her parents’ house to recuperate.
In short, before giving birth, she didn’t want to see Old Madam Wang again.
Li Xia planned to tell Wang Yunfa about this tonight. She couldn’t take it anymore.
