She washed two more apples for Su Ruobai and put them on a plate.

Xiao Yichen wiped the water off his hands with a towel and said gently, "I'm going to Mom's house. I haven't been there for several days!"

Su Ruobai continued reading her book, replying without looking up, "Okay, drive carefully."

After everyone left the house.

Su Ruobai continued reading.

However, the book remained untouched for a long time.

The cool evening breeze blew into the room through the gauze window, driving away the stuffy heat.

However, it could not dispel Su Ruobai's current agitated state of mind.

Xiao Yichen has been acting very strangely lately.

To put it nicely, he was always with her; to put it bluntly, he was always monitoring her.

Monitor her whereabouts and her behavior.

Even if he transforms this behavior into attention between husband and wife, or care between lovers.

But it was too deliberate.

And his eyes also changed.

In particular, he would sometimes secretly eavesdrop in the corner!

What exactly happened?

Could it be that Xiao Yichen also suspects that the child is not his?

If that's the case, then she'll have to think of something to do!

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiao Yichen walked with a steady gait.

He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was churning like a volcano.

He didn't know what the consequences of his actions would be, but his loyalty to his country and people compelled him to do so.

Thinking of this, my already firm resolve became even more unwavering.

We arrived at my parents' house.

Aunt Xiao and the others had just finished eating.

The four eggs are helping to clear the dishes.

Aunt Xiao sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), rubbing her back, chatting with her husband.

I looked up and saw my precious little one.

She immediately stood up with a beaming smile and walked to Xiao Yichen's side: "Where's Xiao Su? Is she walking slowly? Is she behind us? Why aren't you helping her out?"

Xiao Yichen touched his nose, feeling a little guilty as he thought about what he had done: "No, she was reading at home."

Aunt Xiao's smile vanished instantly, and she sat back down on the kang (a heated brick bed) to continue massaging her lower back.

With a look of disgust: "Then what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yichen: No, can't there be any mother-son affection left?

"I've come to see you all."

Aunt Xiao waved her hand dismissively: "There's nothing to see. Your dad and I are doing just fine."

"Your nephews are doing well too; the autumn harvest is just around the corner. Once the grain is ready, things will be even better! There's nothing to worry about."

Xiao Aimin was puffing on his pipe.

She looked at her son very carefully.

The more I looked at it, the more I frowned over the bumps between my eyebrows.

"His mother, go and prepare some things. Xu and Zhou are getting married in a few days. See what we can give them."

"Perfect timing! Go ask your second son's family what they'd like to send. You two can discuss it."

Aunt Xiao retorted impatiently, "What's there to discuss? A one-yuan gift will suffice. We're not related by blood. Why bother with a gift?"

Xiao Aimin frowned even more deeply: "Just go when I tell you to, hurry up!"

Aunt Xiao was displeased when she heard this. She had just finished eating the meal she had cooked, and this was happening, especially in front of her son. What was she trying to do?

"What am I going to..."

She turned around and saw the expression on her old man's face.

Aunt Xiao got off the kang (a heated brick bed) dejectedly and left.

Well, it seems like this is another shady business.

Once only the father and son were left in the room, Xiao Aimin finally spoke: "Tell me, what happened?"

Xiao Yichen smiled, puzzled. "What's wrong, Dad? What are you talking about?"

Xiao Aimin immediately slammed his pipe down on the table: "I know you too well. The moment you bend over, I know what kind of shit you're going to take!"

Unfortunately, the attack missed, and Xiao Yichen reacted quickly to dodge it.

Xiao Aimin also did not linger in the fight.

He pulled the pipe back in and continued puffing away.

Then he said, "When you're on vacation, you spend eight out of ten days out traveling, visiting friends and comrades."

You've been back for several days now, and you've been staying home with your wife every day. Even though Xiao Su is pregnant and needs extra care, what you're doing is way too obvious!

Tell me, what exactly happened?

Xiao Yichen put away his playful and amusing smile.

He sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), his shoulders drooping.

I feel a bit down.

Xiao Aimin's eyelids twitched when he saw this scene.

Enraged, she jumped up, raised her pipe to hit him: "You heartless bastard, you don't really doubt Xiao Su's child, do you? If you dare to divorce me, I'll break your legs."

Xiao Yichen hurriedly ran out the door, shouting as he ran, "Dad, what are you thinking? How could I possibly divorce Xiao Su!"

As soon as she stepped out of the house, Aunt Xiao chased after her with a laundry stick, saying, "You heartless wretch, do you even have a heart?"

You just got married, and you ran away before even entering the bridal chamber, leaving Xiao Su with so much humiliation.

You're such a jerk, sneaking back in the middle of the night without your own parents knowing, and now that you're pregnant you're denying it!

I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard! Tell me, did your boss introduce you to his daughter or niece? Are you thinking of getting a divorce and marrying someone else?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen was torn between crying and laughing, but seeing his mother wielding a thick stick with such force...

Xiao Yichen could only beg for mercy: "Mother, where did you hear this from? There's nothing at all, my father was just making things up!"

Xiao Aimin, who was standing at the door watching his wife scold their son and refilling his pipe with tobacco, said: "You've grown up, haven't you? You dare to say your own father is talking nonsense? Old woman, hurry up and teach this unfilial son a good lesson!"
