Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Huang Xiangwen's Scheme

Huang Xiangwen spat toward Gu Xiaoqing's room and cursed, "Lazybones."

"Mom, it's just washing clothes, it's no big deal," Lei Qianqian said.

"That won't do," Huang Xiangwen insisted, taking the basin with clothes and said with a smile, "You can't compare with us. We villagers are used to rough work, even when heavily pregnant we can still work in the fields. You're different, you've lived in the city since you were young and never done this kind of work. You certainly can't be like us. I've heard that city women are especially prone to accidents when they do work while pregnant. Be careful about the child."

The patriarch of the Gu Family had made it clear—if the first child that Lei Qianqian bore was a son, they would do whatever it took to support him, send him to school, and help him achieve scholarly honors. And Lei Qianqian wouldn't need to do household or field work; her only duty would be to educate the child well.
