Chapter 167 Laying Eggs

"This is indeed good news worth celebrating!"

Hearing Gu Yanfei's words, Gu Yanxiao looked at Su Xiangwan with a big smile and said, "My wife is really amazing!"

Seeing him say this in front of his family, Su Xiangwan felt a little embarrassed and said, "The exam hasn't even started yet, and you're already praising me like this. What if I don't pass? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing!"

As Gu Yanxiao spoke, he took off his coat and washed his hands before coming to Niannian and reaching out his hands: "Good Niannian, come here, let Daddy hug you!"

Now Niannian recognizes people.

When she saw Gu Yanxiao return, she called out to him in a loud "ah ah" sound.

She clearly wanted Gu Yanxiao to hug her.

Seeing that he had finally reached out his hand, she quickly raised her two little hands and went to meet him.

Holding his son, Gu Yanxiao looked at Su Xiangwan with pride and said, "Wife, you're so smart. If you can't pass the exam, then no one else has any hope!"

Su Xiangwan was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by his nonchalant attitude.

Okay! Just based on what he said, she absolutely has to get into this university.

...

The news of the resumption of the national college entrance examination quickly spread throughout the country.

For a time, the whole country went crazy.

Those educated youth who wanted to return to the city but had no way to do so were overjoyed.

Within a single day, all bookstores, scrap yards, and any place where textbooks and review materials could be bought were snapped up by the frenzied crowd.

In Bakeshu Village, Xia Yi, exhausted after searching through all the bookstores, scrap shops, and secondhand markets without finding any review materials, dragged her weary body home.

As soon as he entered, he saw Tong Yaozu staring at him with a gloomy face.

"Xia Yi, where did you go?"

Xia Yi snorted coldly and said, "What business is it of yours what I do when I go out? You can go out drinking and playing cards every day, but I can't go out for a walk?"

"How dare you talk to your man like that? He can do whatever he wants. Do you, as his wife, have the right to speak like that?"

A sharp voice rang out; it was none other than Tong Yaozu's mother, Li Xiangdi.

Xia Yi stopped and looked at Li Xiangdi with disgust.

Compared to Tong Yaozu, who was idle and indulged in drinking, gambling, whoring, and smoking, she disliked Li Xiangdi even more, who, despite being a woman, belittled women and helped men exploit them.

Li Xiangdi, haha, even his name is disgusting.

Li Xiangdi met Xia Yi's gaze and shouted sharply, "What kind of look is that, Xia Yi? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?"

"Turning the world upside down? Which world? Is it you? Or Tong Yaozu?" Xia Yi scoffed and asked.

Li Xiangdi's face immediately changed, and he was so angry that he was about to jump up and down. He pointed at Xia Yi and shouted, "You little slut, I think you've taken the wrong medicine today. How dare you talk back to me! Yaozu, beat her up! A slut like that will climb the roof if you don't beat her for three days. If you don't beat her into obedience, she won't know her place!"

Tong Yaozu, who was sitting to the side, heard his mother say this, took two steps forward, raised his hand and slapped Xia Yi: "Who told you to talk to my mother like that? I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"

The slap left Xia Yi completely stunned.

Since marrying Tong Yaozu, we've been arguing all the time—a small argument every three days and a big argument every five.

But all of that is based on just talking.

This is the first time I've been beaten.

"Tong Yaozu, you hit me?" Xia Yi covered her burning face and looked at Tong Yaozu in disbelief.

"So what if I hit you?"

Before Tong Yaozu could speak, Li Xiangdi said with a cold smile.

"You barren hen! You've been married into the Tong family for half a year and there's not a single sign of pregnancy. All you do is eat for free. You should have been beaten long ago!"

Li Xiangdi looked at Xia Yi with disdain.

Yaozu is the only son of the Tong family, and he is the one who is to carry on the family line.

She had been carefully selecting her daughter-in-law for a long time.

They all chose women with big breasts and big butts, the kind that are obviously good at bearing children.

Ironically, these women's own precious sons all say they don't like them.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that she had her eye on Xu Yirou, who was working at the educated youth settlement.

At first, Li Xiangdi didn't think much of Xu Yirou.

They were clearly from the city, yet they were poorer than the farmers of Bakushu Village.

Even when it comes to physical labor, he can't compete with the daughters-in-law he chose.

Even though Xu Yirou became more and more capable later on, she was never favored by Li Xiangdi.

With such a small bottom and chest, she's obviously not someone who can easily give birth.

If you marry into their family, you have to give birth to a son, otherwise how can you carry on the Tong family line?

However, Tong Yaozu insisted on marrying Xu Yirou, so Li Xiangdi went along with it.

But to her surprise, Xu Yirou actually dared to look down on her Yaozu!

Li Xiangdi was so anxious that he wanted to cause trouble for Xu Yirou, but Tong Yaozu persuaded him to stop.

After all, Tong Liqun had repeatedly ordered that the villagers were not allowed to cause trouble for the educated youth.

Most importantly, Tong Yaozu said that he must marry Xu Yirou. If Li Xiangdi ruins his plans, he will never get married in his life!

This really scared Li Xiangdi!

That won't do.

If Yaozu doesn't get married, won't the Tong family line end?

How will she face the ancestors of the Tong family after she dies?

Therefore, Li Xiangdi no longer dared to pressure Tong Yaozu, and could only remind him from time to time in a roundabout way that he had to hurry up and get married and have a big, healthy son.

Unfortunately, Li Xiangdi did not expect that his family's Yaozu would delay for so long, but he still could not marry Xu Yirou, who was poor but hardworking.

Instead, he married Xia Yi, who was good for nothing and only knew how to eat.

You should know that the Tong family originally stored twelve large pumpkins, enough to last them the whole winter.

But after Xia Yi came to their house, she was defiled within a month.

Good heavens!

Just one month!

That spendthrift woman ate twelve pumpkins from the Tong family in just one month.

Those are twelve pumpkins!

What family could afford to support a daughter-in-law like that!

It was one thing for Xia Yi to have eaten twelve pumpkins, but her stomach showed no signs of pregnancy.

What family would want a wife who can only eat but not lay eggs?

Sure enough, things that come to you uninvited are never good!

Xia Yi was already furious after being slapped by Tong Yaozu.

Now, hearing Li Xiangdi actually call her a hen that can't lay eggs, how could Xia Yi possibly tolerate it?

He couldn't hold back any longer and exploded!

"Why do you say I'm a hen that can't lay eggs? What evidence do you have to prove that it's my fault I didn't get pregnant? Maybe it's your son who can't lay eggs?"
