Zhang Xiaohui nodded and said, “He will . Guozhu doesn’t want to be with Zhou Hong any longer . He says she’s a shrew and not at all feminine . She has a fierce temper and is very domineering . He can’t stand her any longer!
“Also, Zhou Hong has only given him one daughter . His daughter cannot carry on his family name, and his biggest regret is not having a son . ”
Old Madam Zhang nodded . “Then that should be easy to arrange . Tell you what, since you are now pregnant, Guozhu will certainly get a divorce . For the sake of your unborn child, he certainly won’t allow you to suffer . If you can give him a son, it will give you a firm foothold in the Wang family, and then you will always be a city dweller . ”
When she thought of the joys of city living that she had experienced a while ago, Zhang Xiaohui grew impatient . She hurriedly said, “Mother, in that case, I will look for Guozhu tomorrow and tell him the good news . Then he can quickly divorce his wife and I can marry him as soon as possible . After a while, it will become apparent that I’m pregnant . ”
This was a big deal and Old Madam Zhang attached much importance to this point . She nodded and said, “Alright, you should hurry over tomorrow . Now that you’re pregnant, you don’t need to work in the afternoon . I’ll ask your sisters-in-law to manage . You must rest and take good care of the baby . ”
Zhang Xiaohui was touched . Her mother was so good to her .
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohui did not do any work that afternoon . The next morning, Old Madam Zhang and Zhang Xiaohui went to the town to look for Wang Guozhu .
When Wang Guozhu knew that Zhang Xiaohui was pregnant, he could barely contain himself!
He wanted a son, he desperately wanted a son!
To him, a filial and sensible woman like Zhang Xiaohui would make an ideal wife . No one could stand a shrew like Zhou Hong .
Also, he knew that Zhou Hong had a lover and despised him, so he had been thinking about a divorce for a long time .
Wang Guozhu immediately sent Zhang Xiaohui home to take care of herself, while he went to arrange his divorce from Zhou Hong .
Gu Qingyao had been paying close attention to the Zhang family’s situation . She saw Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang go to town in the morning . When they returned, their faces were radiant with delight . It looked like their discussion with Wang Guozhu had gone well!
Gu Qingyao grew agitated . This was good news!
Now that Wang Guozhu’s side was settled, that left Gu Yunshen’s . Both Old Madam Zhang and Zhang Xiaohui knew that the sooner the matter was dealt with, the better . The new year was coming and they could only get married next year, at best . As time passed, her pregnancy would show .
She knew that the two old folks in the Gu family seldom went anywhere . They were always together with the old men and women in the cow shed and they stayed near the shed, surrounded by others .
Zhang Xiaohui disliked the place because it was too smelly, so she could not be bothered to go there . She was also very nauseous and often felt like vomiting . The moment she smelt that odor, she could not help but vomit .
But she had no choice . She needed to look for Gu Qingyao .
Similarly, Gu Qingyao was never at home during the day . She spent her days mingling with the brigade, always looking for one family or another to play with . Anyway, it was the end of the year, and everyone was free . They were all holed up at home during the winter .
Today, the sun was out, and Gu Qingyao, Chen Goudan, Chen Xiaocao and a few of their little friends were sunning themselves at the doorway, sewing with some older women .
Zhang Xiaohui came over and was about to say something when Gu Qingyao exclaimed in delight, “Mother…”
