Chapter 362: Five Thousand Food Expenses

Yang Jiabao looked at his wife with a puzzled look on his face. "Well, Manman, it's not right to say that about me. I still have to save my face."

"What's wrong with this? I think this is the best idea. We can then cover it up and release some small news later. Everyone will definitely believe it." The more Jiang Xinbai thought about it, the better he felt that this excuse was. It was better than cursing himself to get seriously ill.

"Yes, I also think this excuse is good. For men, this aspect is very important. It is possible for you to look for doctors everywhere." Chen Hongyu also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's settled. Use this as an excuse and don't let anything slip." Jiang Xinbai made the decision immediately.

"Everything has been decided without even asking me if I agree or not. I tell you, this won't work. I don't agree." Yang Jiabao looked humiliated. This was more painful than cursing him to get a serious illness.

Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her eldest son and replied lightly, "Objection is invalid. We are three to one. It's settled."

"mom……"

"Don't shout. If you want Manman to give birth to the baby safely, you can just bear with it a little, okay?"

Now that things have come to this, what else can Yang Jiabao do? He can only smile bitterly and agree.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinbai seemed to have thought of something, and he became serious, reminding them: "I'm telling you, it's best to keep Manman's pregnancy a secret. Hongyu, just tell Guohua, and don't tell anyone else. I'll also tell Jinsheng, and I won't tell anyone else. The fewer people who know, the better."

"Hey, I won't even tell Guohua. He loves drinking. I'm afraid he'll blurt out everything after drinking too much. It's better not to let him know."

Although Chen Hongyu knew that her husband would not do that, she decided not to tell him just in case.

"Well, then you decide for yourself. Also, Jiabao, don't tell your grandparents, especially your second aunt. She's not a very kind person, and I'm afraid she'll tell you about it, so try not to let other people know. I'll just let you bear the reputation of being 'incompetent' for now."

Yang Jiabao nodded hopelessly, thinking, "No" then "No"!

Back in his hometown, Jiang Baoguo thought about it and decided to go to the chicken farm to find his wife after hanging up the phone.

"Lotus, Lotus, come here, let me tell you something." Jiang Baoguo waved and said immediately after finding his wife at the chicken farm.

Wu Hehua glanced at her husband and said, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. I'm busy! Look, there are so many eggs if we don't pick them up in one day. You don't know how to pick them up, and I have to do it every time."

"Hey, we always pick them up in the evening. Why are you in such a hurry? Come here, I have something important to tell you." Jiang Baoguo said as he pulled his wife out of the chicken coop.

"What's the important thing? Tell me!" Wu Hehua put down the basket and washed her hands in the pool.

"Xiao Bai called just now and said that Jiabao's wife, Manman, is pregnant and wants to hide with us. I agreed. What do you think?"

Wu Hehua glanced at her husband and said, "Haha, you've already agreed, and you're still asking me what I think?"

"Hehe, I just thought you would agree. Besides, Xiaobai said he would give you money when the time comes. After all, you might need to cook for Manman later."

Hehe, at worst he can just give money to his wife and think of it as his younger sister paying for it.

When Wu Hehua heard that she had to pay, her face lit up and she quickly said, "Oh, Xiaobai is so polite. We are all family. What's wrong with cooking a meal? Why does she need money? But if she insisted on giving me money, I reluctantly accepted it. But where does Manman live? It's not safe at home, right?"

"Xiaobai said that he lives in the house over there on the chicken farm. You can clean that place up in the next few days, put out new sheets, and make it clean." Jiang Baoguo said as he pointed to a small two-story bungalow not far to the left.

"Live here? Is it okay? It smells very bad." Wu Hehua was a little hesitant. It's okay for normal people, as they can hardly smell anything. But it's different for pregnant women. Their sense of smell is magnified more than ten times, so they will definitely smell the stench of chicken. It will be a real pain in the ass if they do that.

"Okay, Xiaobai and the others said it's okay. They are avoiding the family planning policy now, so there's no need to be so particular. Also, you should talk to Hongyan and the others about this, but don't tell anyone else. We are all family, and nothing can go wrong." Jiang Baoguo reminded with some concern.

Now the chicken farm is run by their entire family. Fortunately, they didn't hire any outsiders, so it should be kept secret.

Ten days later, after Yang Jiabao had arranged everything, he took his wife and boarded the train back to his hometown. Of course, Jiang Xinbai also accompanied them, while Yang Jinsheng was left behind to look after the store.

In order to avoid being seen by acquaintances, the three of them waited until dark before entering the village.

Jiang Baoguo and his companions who were waiting at the entrance of the village saw the three dark figures and immediately responded, "Xiaobai, is that you?"

"Brother, it's us."

"Oh, that's good. I was just worried that you couldn't find the way. Let's go back. I'll take you to the chicken farm from another road. We're afraid we'll be seen here." Jiang Baoguo said as he took the luggage from the little sister's hand.

"Oh, okay, big brother, you are really thoughtful." Then the few of them followed and walked for another twenty minutes before arriving at the chicken farm.

Wu Hehua had also been waiting in the house. When she saw Jiang Xinbai and the others come in, she quickly smiled and said, "Oh, you're finally here. You must be hungry! I'll go make some noodles right away. Wait, it'll be quick."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Look, I've kept you so busy. It's really annoying." Jiang Xinbai said a little embarrassedly.

"Well, it's okay. We are all family, so let's not be picky." Wu Hehua smiled and waved her hand, then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Yang Jiabao looked around, then stood up, took his uncle's hand and said, "Uncle, I'm really going to trouble you this time."

"Hey, why are you still being so polite to your uncle? Come, come and see. I have arranged your room on the second floor, so that someone won't see you at first sight when they come." Jiang Baoguo led them to the second floor and pointed to the innermost room.

Xu Manman carefully glanced at the room, nodded with confidence, and said with a smile: "Uncle, thank you and aunt."

"Look, you two have said don't be polite, just live here peacefully. Apart from your family, no one will come here. There are a few dogs at the chicken farm. If a stranger comes, they will bark. We can be prepared. It's okay."

Jiang Baoguo thought of everything he could think of, and even cleaned up the cave he had found on the mountain before, and put some dry food in it, just in case he was really discovered and would have a place to hide. Of course, he hoped that he would not need it.

"Xiaobai, the noodles are ready, come down and eat!" At this time, Wu Hehua's voice came from downstairs.

"Hey, sister-in-law, we'll be down right away." Jiang Xinbai said as he walked down first.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, you guys eat! If it's not enough, there's more in the pot." Wu Hehua also smiled politely. Who wouldn't like a sister-in-law who is rich and capable!

They were really hungry, so the three of them quickly finished their noodles. Then Jiang Xinbai urged Yang Jiabao and the other man to go upstairs to sleep, while he continued to stay in the living room and chat with his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"Brother and sister-in-law, Jiabao and his friends will probably be staying here for the whole year. Here is 5,000 yuan. Take it as their food expenses."

Jiang Xinbai said as he took out a stack of money from his bag.
