Knowing she was pregnant, all her anxieties and worries vanished.
Snorting, she settled down at her family home, demanding that Tong ErLang should come and escort her back home!
But staying at her maiden home doesn't mean idleness. Her family's situation isn't great, she has been used to loafing about at Tong's house, but now she must suddenly adapt to join her brother and his wife performing heavy farm work.
Being pregnant is a big deal for the Tongs, but for ordinary peasant families, it is nothing. Almost all peasant women have experienced working in the fields while heavily pregnant. The peasants were poor and the workloads were heavy so there was no way they could accommodate an idle pregnant woman.
Having to work in the fields while pregnant is pitiful!
So, she once again started thinking and began rallying her old mother to open a shop selling braised pork.
