"Just tell me if you need anything, I'll do whatever I can to help you."

Yuan Yi was touched, but remained calm: "Thank you."

At the weekend, Lin Dong took Niu Aihua back home.

Just as he thought, the old women in the village were in an uproar. When they saw the couple coming back, they all muttered something.

"Hey Lin Dong, where have you been these days? I heard from your mom that you went to live with your wife at her parents' home."

"Lin Dong, you're a man, how can you live with your wife? It's embarrassing if you tell anyone!"

"That's right, no matter how good my father-in-law and mother-in-law's home is, can it compare to my own home?"

Looking at these women who could do fucking, Lin Dong wanted to refute, but the other party was his elder after all, and if he said something unpleasant, he would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, aunts and sisters-in-law. Aihua just missed home, so I took her back for a while. It's not as weird as you say. Whether it's my own parents or my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they are my parents and people I should respect. Please don't say anything nonsense."

Everyone laughed and joked, and didn't explain the matter too clearly.

An old lady pointed at Niu Aihua's belly and said, "Oh, your belly is so big. How many months pregnant is this?"

"It's almost four months." Niu Aihua replied.

Generally, the pregnancy is not noticeable before three months, but after three months the belly slowly starts to grow.

Niu Aihua was already fat and had a lot of fat on her belly, so others just saw that her belly had gotten bigger, and those who didn't know thought she had gained weight.

The old woman looked at Niu Aihua's belly and said, "They say a belly that's pointed when expecting a son is pointed, and a belly that's round when expecting a daughter is pointed. But this belly isn't pointed at all. Could it be a girl?"

Unexpectedly, hearing this made Niu Aihua unhappy.

"Aunt, what do you mean? Are you cursing my son like that?" Niu Aihua patted her belly and said with great certainty, "I'm pregnant with a son. Please don't curse me!"

Niu Aihua also has some patriarchal ideas.

The old lady shut her mouth quickly after being confronted by Niu Aihua, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.

Although she was a junior, the old lady didn't dare to say anything. After all, Niu Aihua was still pregnant. If anything went wrong, her old woman Shen Hongyan would start making trouble again.

Niu Aihua was very unhappy about what was said and pulled Lin Dong away.

Seeing the young couple walking away, the old women who had just been there gathered together and started gossiping.

"Bah! What an attitude! Do you really think you're the boss just because you're pregnant? As if everyone has been pregnant and given birth before, what's so great about that!"

"Exactly, am I wrong? Her belly is round, she deserves to give birth to a girl!"

"Hurry up and move back. Only when they come back will I hear quarrels every few days. You have no idea how bored I've been these days!"

"Lin Dong is such an unfilial son! He even said his wife missed her parents' home? What excuse! What son wouldn't go back to his own home on New Year's Eve and take his wife to live with his father-in-law?"

"If the couple had come back a little later, they would have brought back a child named Niu!"

When it comes to the eldest branch of the Lin family, there are endless topics to discuss.

On this side, Lin Dong and Niu Aihua returned home, and Shen Hongyan was working at home.
