Chapter 195: Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt Knowing

Translator: Lonelytree

After a busy morning, Xiao Lingyu and the others returned to the rental. Along the way, they bought some meat. Since it was still early, they decided to cook. The foot at the county town was expensive and not as tasty.

Xiao Lingyu was in a unique state, so she shouldn’t eat out too much. Mother Xiao planned to buy some chickens and raise them here so she could make chicken soup anytime.

However, while the yard looked big, it was not suitable to raise chickens. The smell would be horrible, and the yard would get dirty. Xiao Lingyu couldn’t be exposed to the bacteria. If she were infected, she would suffer greatly. Mother Xiao thought about it and denied that idea. She would kill the chicken in the village and directly make it into stews at home. Xiao Lingyu could drink chicken soup whenever she wanted. That was not a bad idea.

After a busy morning, the four of them were tired, especially Xiao Lingyu. She was extremely sleepy all the time. When they were at the shop, they noticed that she was dozing behind the counter. However, miraculously, she didn’t miss anything and she only calculated slower than normal. Many customers found this interesting. They had not seen a sleeping person do mathematics before.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t have the appetite, so she wanted to lay down to sleep. When Mother Xiao heard that, she tried to stop her. After all, Xiao Lingyu hadn’t eaten for the whole morning.

At the dining table, Xiao Lingyu continued to eat with her eyes half-open and half-closed. This made the other three speechless and amused.

Liu Chunhua had been through this before. She noticed something was wrong with Xiao Lingyu and immediately had a guess. However, it was not appropriate for her to ask now. She planned to ask her second sister in private.

A moment later, Xiao Lingyu put down her chopsticks and said, “Mom, I’m full. You guys eat. I’m going to sleep.” As she said this, she yawned.

Mother Xiao nodded and said, “Okay.”

After Xiao Lingyu left, Liu Chunhua couldn’t help but ask, “Second Sister, what is wrong with Lingyu?”

“She’s pregnant!” Mother Xiao said directly.

“Ah?!” Xiao Mingyang and his wife were shocked.

“It’s already been more than four months.”

“Four months, so that means…” Xiao Mingyang immediately connected everything in his mind. This was when the Chen Family kid drugged Xiao Lingyu. Then, Xiao Mingyang said angrily, “Second sister, how can we keep this child? If Yu ‘Er really gives birth to this child, how will she marry in the future? What are you and second brother thinking?”

The child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach was, to put it bluntly, a bastard child. How could she get married carrying a bastard child?

From his second sister’s reaction, she knew about the pregnancy a long time ago. If that was true, then she should have asked Lingyu to abort the child. The earlier the abortion was done, the least harm it would cause the mother’s body.

Now that Xiao Lingyu was more than four months pregnant, they could see her protruding belly. Xiao Mingyang and his wife did notice that, but since their second brother and sister didn’t say anything, they didn’t bring it up either.

But now that his second sister did, Xiao Mingyang knew there had to be a reason why. However, he still couldn’t understand why they allowed Lingyu to keep the child.

Mother Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er wants to keep the child. She cried and begged your second brother and me. She said that if we did not agree, she would run away from home!”

“She’d run away from home?” Hearing this, fourth uncle and fourth aunt took a deep breath at the same time and said in disbelief, “Has Yu ‘Er gone crazy? Why would she keep the child? How will she get married in the future?”

Xiao Mingyu lectured, “Second sister, Yu ‘Er is still young, so she is impulsive. So you and second brother should guide her to the right way.”

Mother Xiao said very calmly, “Yu ‘Er had a dream. She dreamed of a child who often questioned her why she didn’t want him. If she refused to take him, he would haunt her forever.”

“Ah?” Xiao Mingyang and his wife were a little dumbfounded again. The rural people were still quite superstitious. For example, the elders would tell the gender of a baby from the mother’s dream. Or someone who had been childless for a long time would dream about Bodhisattva, and then not long after, she would be really pregnant. All these were superstitions.

Xiao Mingyang and his wife were real rural people. So they were also superstitious. When they heard Mother Xiao, they felt shocked and incredulous.

“Second Sister, how can that be?” Xiao Mingyang asked in disbelief.

Mother Xiao calmly shook her head and said, “But that’s the truth. This child is fated to be with Yu ‘Er. If we insist on aborting this child, it will be a sin.”

Xiao Mingyang and his wife were silent. Then, Xiao Mingyang asked worriedly, “What about Yu ‘Er’s future?”

Mother Xiao said, “If a man really loves Yu ‘Er, he won’t mind the child. If he does mind, then he never loves Yu ‘Er. Instead of marrying Yu ‘Er to someone who doesn’t love her, I’d rather keep her by my side forever.” Mother Xiao paused and said, “Mingyang, Chunhua, your second brother and I have decided to protect the child in Yu ‘Er’s stomach. If Yu ‘Er can’t marry because of it, then we’ll keep her by our side forever. After we’re too old, she still has her little brother.”

Xiao Mingyang sighed and said, “If that’s the case, Chunhua and I will help shield Yu ‘Er and her child too. When Xiao Xiaohui grows up, he’ll look after his eldest cousin.”

Mother Xiao was touched, “Ming Yang, Chunhua, thank you so much!”

“Second Sister, we’re family. Why so formal?” Xiao Mingyang said seriously, “Yu ‘Er is my niece. Chunhua and I only have one son, Xiaohui. So we treat Yu ‘Er like our daughter. Naturally, we have to protect her.”

Liu Chunhua nodded. “That’s right, second sister. We are a family. We care about Yu ‘Er like she’s our daughter. So her child will be our grandchild too. We’ll definitely look after them.”

Mother Xiao nodded with tears in her eyes.

Liu Chunhua thought of something and immediately said with a serious expression, “Since Yu ‘Er is pregnant, she shouldn’t tire herself out. We’ll help her do as much work as we can.”

“That’s right. Yu ‘Er shouldn’t drive so often either.” Liu Chunhua added, “Mingyang knows how to drive now. He can drive her anywhere she wants to go.”

Xiao Mingyang nodded. “That’s right. Yu ‘Er can depend on me. I wouldn’t want any accident to happen to Yu ‘Er and her child when she was driving.”

Mother Xiao said, “You’re right. In the future, we’d better let Yu ‘Er drive less.”

Xiao Lingyu felt refreshed after sleeping for an afternoon. She got up from the bed and stretched. She realized that the room was a little dark.

She thought the sky had fallen, so she immediately walked out. Then, she realized it was already nighttime. She looked around the house and realized the house was home. Mother Xiao, Liu Chunhua, and Xiao Mingyang had returned to Taoyuan Village.

Xiao Lingyu combed her mind, and she believed she heard her mother mumble something about them going back home first. They didn’t want to bother her since she was sleeping. They would bring the harvest tomorrow. Mother Xiao had left some food in the fridge. If Xiao Lingyu was hungry, she could heat them up on the stove.

Xiao Lingyu felt a little speechless. ‘So I’m abandoned? Then again, it is too late to drive home now. I might as well stay here.’

She rubbed her stomach and felt a little hungry. She took out some vegetables from the fridge and heated them up in a steamer.

After she had her dinner, Xiao Lingyu felt a little tired again. She yawned and went back to bed. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Lingyu muttered to herself, “Why am I so sleepy when I’m pregnant? I don’t think this was the case in my previous life…”

When Old Master Gong arrived at Xiao Zhengyang’s house, he saw the happy faces and asked, “Mother Xiao, the vegetables are all sold out again?”

Mother Xiao nodded and said, “Yes!” Then, she asked, “Elder Gong, what do you wish to eat tonight? I’ll cook some for you!”

“Then, I won’t be polite with you.” Old Master Gong said, “Can you make me a braised pork?”

Xiao Wang immediately said, “Old Master, you can’t eat too much meat, especially fatty meat.”

Old Master Gong was immediately unhappy. He said, “Why can’t I eat meat? I feel much better already. I can control my own diet.”

Xiao Wang had always been very serious about Old Master Gong’s health. He insisted, “Old Master, you need to listen to Doctor Huang. Doctor Huang came yesterday and said that even if your physique had improved, you shouldn’t eat too much meat yet.”

Old Master Gong, “…”

I want to slap this man!
