As she spoke, Su Jiaojiao clutched her stomach in discomfort.

In the end, the captain still approved the leave. No matter what, he couldn't let someone suffer to death!

No sooner had Su Jiaojiao left than Chen Shengnan arrived.

The brigade leader glared at her; "You're not here to ask for leave too, are you! You educated youth, you're all so fussy and difficult, not one of you is easy to deal with."

"Captain, I'm here to ask for leave for Su Li. She has something to do today and has already gone to town."

Meeting Chen Shengnan's unyielding gaze, the captain was truly furious! What had Su Li promised him yesterday, and what had she done today?

She has two coins every day, and she won't settle down until she's completely exhausted.

“I’m telling you, she didn’t ask for leave herself this time, so I’m going to deduct ten work points from her. You can talk to her about it when she gets back.”

Chen Shengnan nodded and walked out of the brigade leader's house.

Su Li was already on the oxcart when Su Jiaojiao saw her, and her heart skipped a beat.

Why is Su Li everywhere?

Su Jiaojiao was worried that Su Li would say something she didn't want to hear, so she turned her face away.

Su Li, however, did not go as she wished; "Su Jiaojiao, why do I feel like your belly is bigger? Could you be pregnant?"

Su Jiaojiao; that bitch, she really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

Upon hearing this, the old women on the oxcart immediately stared at Su Jiaojiao's belly.

"You know what, Su Zhiqing's belly does seem to be getting bigger. Could she really be pregnant?"

Su Jiaojiao forced a smile; "Auntie, no, my stomach has just been a little bloated lately, that's why it looks bigger."

Su Li scoffed, "This is the first time I've ever heard of gas causing a stomach to swell up. That's really rare."

Another old lady chimed in, "Yes! I feel uncomfortable when I have gas, but my belly hasn't grown at all. Su Zhiqing, when did your period start? You might be pregnant without even knowing it!"
