As soon as I put down the plate and sat down at the dining table, I heard Margery say so, which were the same words from her as in my previous life.
Margery carried the two live chickens in her hands, her eyes full of concern for me. It was as if she really cared about me, her pregnant daughter.
But I knew clearly in my heart that Margery was just trying to use my old house as her bargaining chip to let her get more respect from her family when she went back.
"No, Mom. Leonel and I bought this new house with a loan. Since I'm pregnant, I definitely can't do my job as well as before in my work. So, we plan to rent out the old house and use the rent to partially cover the loan. This way, we won't have that much pressure."
I smiled and naturally refused Margery's suggestion.
Margery said to me with a sigh, "You may think it's fine now. But when your belly gets bulging, you'll I was right. I'm your mother. How could I harm you? Let Jessica be by your side. She's your cousin, and she can help you. Maybe you'll need her to run errands and pay fees for hospital check-ups.
