"How so?" Shen Fenghua asked, puzzled.

"Two useless chicks in exchange for five eggs, isn't that enough?"

Grandma was quite content, saying, "That's just how relationships are."

Don't be too calculating with people who deserve it.

After saying that, she looked at Shen Fenghua and said, "Alright, that's enough. Hurry up and stop squatting here, or you'll get a stomachache later."

Shen Fenghua stood up, glanced around, and asked, "So what should I do now?"

"Whatever you want, just don't squat," Grandma said as she got up. "I'll go and stew your medicine."

Shen Fenghua: "..."

The smile on her face vanished instantly; that medicine was truly unbearable for humans, it was excruciatingly bitter.

"Grandma~"

"Listen to me, go back and lie down."

Shen Fenghua began her wonderful days of eating, drinking, and sleeping. During this time, some people came to visit her. Those she knew welcomed in, and those she didn't know also exchanged a few words with her.

Sister Niu also came over with Li Yanran. Looking at Shen Fenghua lying on the kang, her body thin and frail, she felt a pang of heartache. "My goodness, what happened to you? Oh dear, your face is so pale, it breaks my heart to see you like this."

Shen Fenghua looked at Sister Niu and pouted, "It's not easy for me to keep this little thing alive. It's only right that it suffers a little."

That's bullshit!

Shen Fenghua is holding a grudge now. She's worried that Li Xiu'e, that wretched girl, won't fall into her hands, or she'll make her pay.

Sister Niu placed the peach shortbread she had brought on the table by the kang bed. "I originally wanted to get you some brown sugar, but my good-for-nothing husband lent out the precious brown sugar coupons. I was so angry."

She patted Shen Fenghua's hand, "Don't worry, there isn't any now. But after you give birth, I'll definitely get you some brown sugar. You can make do with this bag of peach shortbread for now. I heard that pregnant women have a good appetite, so it won't hurt to have some snacks."

Shen Fenghua laughed, "Hey, sister, how could I not trust you? What kind of relationship do we have? I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Take the peach shortbread back with you. There are still boys and girls at home who are growing. Take it back for the children to eat."

"Keep it if I give it to you," Sister Niu said reproachfully. "It's nothing valuable. You don't even want this little bit. Do you think you don't like my things?"

Shen Fenghua's eyes widened. "Sister, that's a heartless thing to say."

Upon hearing this, Sister Niu laughed, while Li Yanran was already clutching her stomach, laughing uncontrollably.

Shen Fenghua was left alone, looking completely bewildered, not understanding what these two knights found so funny.

Anyway, just be happy.

After chatting for a while, Sister Niu said mysteriously, "Feng Hua, you haven't been there these past few days, so you don't know, Li Xiu'e has been having a tough time these past few days."

Shen Fenghua's pregnancy was big news, after all, she was a beauty in the steel factory, and a beauty with a secure job for life. Many people were watching the developments of this beauty who couldn't have children.

When she and Qi Ye were together before, there were many rumors circulating about them, saying that one of them couldn't have children and the other couldn't conceive, and most importantly, that they were both good-looking.

Some people said, half jokingly and half sarcastically, that the two of them were a perfect match.

Now that Shen Fenghua is pregnant, it's a powerful slap in the face. Some gossipy people, upon hearing the news, felt a sense of disillusionment with the world.

When asked why he hadn't come to work, they asked again.

Oh, so it's for preventing miscarriage.

Why are we trying to protect the pregnancy?

Then, through a series of twists and turns, Li Xiu'e was also dragged into it.

Now everyone has found an outlet for their anger, and all sorts of foul language is directed at Li Xiu'e. As for the reason...

Compared to Shen Fenghua, they still disliked Li Xiu'e more.

Shen Fenghua at least has some real skills, and she has made great contributions to the factory. What about Li Xiu'e? She's good for nothing, but she's number one at sucking up to powerful people. When she walks around the factory, she looks down on everyone.

They don't even look at people properly.

If this continues, the number of people offended will be far more than just one or two.

In addition, the factory director called her into his office and gave her a severe scolding, saying that she was arrogant, looked down on others, was domineering, and was not conducive to unity.

The factory director was already serious, and this incident made Li Xiu'e lose all face. During this time, everyone could make fun of her, and she lived in constant fear.

Speaking of this, Sister Niu sighed, "I don't know how many times I've cried in the office these past few days."

Shen Fenghua felt no remorse whatsoever. She was the one who was arrogant and domineering, deliberately causing trouble. Now she was in this predicament, which she could only blame herself for.

If you know you're wrong and can correct it, that's fine. But if you know you're wrong and still continue down this dark path...

Then don't blame me for not giving her face.

“It’s good to cry,” Shen Fenghua said with a smile. “If I can use this opportunity to cry out all the water in my brain, then I’ll have accomplished something great.”

After saying this, Shen Fenghua put her hands together and chanted "Amitabha".

Sister Niu laughed heartily after reading it, "You're a mischievous one too."

Li Yanran laughed, "Who says it isn't?"

"By the way," Sister Niu glanced out the window mysteriously, "where's your husband?"

Shen Fenghua was taken aback, then came to her senses and asked honestly, "We're on a mission, so what?"

"Oh dear, it looks like you've had a tough time."

Shen Fenghua nodded in agreement. It was indeed hard work. Going up the mountain to hunt at this time was a mix of danger and opportunity.

"I'm just curious, what's going on with you two kids? Could it really be divine intervention, or is it the reward for doing good deeds?"

It can't be that you can't have children + are unable to have children, or that you can have children, right?

If this equation holds true, it would be a truly great achievement.

It can save so many broken families.

Shen Fenghua chuckled, "There's no miracle here. Although my body was damaged before, the doctor clearly stated that the chance of me getting pregnant was slim. Slim means there's still a possibility."

"And where's your man?"

Mentioning Qi Ye, Shen Fenghua was both amused and exasperated. "It was all a misunderstanding. The doctor must have given him the wrong report. He's perfectly healthy and has no problems at all."

Sister Niu kept sighing, "Great, great! What do you call this, Feng Hua? You've finally reaped the rewards of your hard work."

Having a family and escaping the dangerous Shen family, they even brought their maternal grandmother from the countryside to live with them. Their life is truly prosperous and enviable.

"I've suffered too much in the first half of my life," Shen Fenghua said with a slight smile, "but now the tables have turned, and it's finally my turn!"

"..."

.

"Snap!"

"Qi Ye, watch out!"
