Rong Zhengqing looked at her again. Judging from her belly, she was at most four months pregnant. She thought Song Zhi had been pregnant recently, but she never thought it was already eight months.

She calculated the time, looked at Song Zhi and asked, "Were you pregnant before going to the countryside?"

There was nothing to hide at the moment, so Song Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Looking at Song Zhi's unhurried expression, Rong Zhengqing was surprised and admired her at the same time.

She had been able to hide it for so long.

If she hadn't had some experience, she wouldn't have been able to tell.

Getting pregnant before marriage at this time will not only lead to criticism, but most importantly, it will also affect your family.

But from Song Zhi's calm look, Rong Zhengqing thought that she must have arranged everything long ago.

"You are carrying such a big thing alone, aren't you afraid at all?" Rong Zhengqing couldn't help but ask out the horror in his heart.

Song Zhi calmly put the test papers in order before replying calmly, "Don't be afraid."

She lowered her eyes and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes very gentle.

"I'm really looking forward to this baby, so I've been preparing for it since early morning."

Having said this, she looked up at Rong Zhengqing again.

"I don't want to implicate you, so you don't have to persuade me. I'll give birth outside. You know me. I won't let anything happen to myself or my child. You can go to Dongyang High School and review. Don't worry about me, and don't delay your studies for me."

If she gave birth in Ran Qiu's house, not only would her own reputation be ruined, but Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing, who also lived in Ran Qiu's house, would also be criticized, and the reputation of Ran Qiu, a bachelor, would also be affected by her.

Song Zhi didn't want to implicate them.

Hearing this, Rong Zhengqing frowned, still worried.

She has been working in the countryside for more than ten years and has relied on herself for everything, so she has developed a cruel and ruthless character. However, Song Zhi is the first person in such a long time who has taken care of her without asking for anything in return and has helped her move forward.

Since she has accepted Song Zhi's friendship, of course she must repay her well.

"It's still too dangerous for you to be alone. Besides, you need someone to take care of you during the confinement period. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will develop chronic illnesses."

Rong Zhengqing pulled her arm, sat down next to her on the bed, and insisted on staying with her.

"I've been in the countryside for a few years and have taken care of pregnant women. I have experience. Please let me accompany you."

Her stubborn words left Song Zhi speechless for a moment.

"If you don't let me accompany you, I won't be able to concentrate on my studies. This won't be good for you or me, right?"

Song Zhi opened her mouth and sighed helplessly, but she was very moved in her heart. She could see that Rong Zhengqing was really worried about her, and sincerity would eventually be reciprocated with sincerity.

After hearing her words, although Song Zhi was somewhat moved, he still did not give in.

What would happen to Nie Jinmei if Rong Zhengqing went to another village with her?

Although Nie Jinmei is usually noisy, she is actually very attentive and will definitely notice something is wrong.

Song Zhi was not worried that she would betray him, but he just didn't want to implicate her.

She didn't know that this was actually the best outcome.

Rong Zhengqing looked at Song Zhi's conflicted expression, and after a moment's thought, he knew what she was worried about.

"Does Ran Qiu know?" she asked uncertainly.

Song Zhi nodded honestly: "I know."

Hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed across Rong Zhengqing's eyes, and he felt even more depressed. From Song Zhi's expression, it was not difficult to tell that Ran Qiu was probably the first person among them to know.

How come Ran Qiu, a grown man, knows all about this?

Receiving her increasingly dissatisfied gaze, Song Zhi raised his hand and touched his nose in embarrassment.

She doesn't want to either.

Unfortunately, Ran Qiu happened to see her inspection list.

Ultimately, it was because she wasn't careful enough. If she had been more careful, they wouldn't have noticed.

Just when Song Zhi was feeling frustrated, Rong Zhengqing suddenly said, "Then only Nie Jinmei doesn't know."

She glanced at Song Zhi and asked, "Why don't you stop hiding it from her? Tell her about this, too?"

Song Zhi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he heard Rong Zhengqing say again.

"Ran Qiu still has three children to take care of at home, so let him stay at home to take care of them. Nie Jinmei and I can go and take care of you together."

"I'm alone..."

Song Zhi looked helpless and heavy-hearted.

However, Rong Zhengqing obviously said this not to discuss with her, and did not let her finish her words.

"Don't be so stubborn. Women are at their weakest when giving birth. How can you do it alone? It's convenient for the two of us girls to take care of you. Don't treat us as outsiders."

Rong Zhengqing stood up and looked at Song Zhi seriously, his tone firm and unyielding.

She stared into Song Zhi's eyes, her tone much lower, and her eyes were full of hurt.

"Song Zhi, don't you consider us friends at all? Is that why you are so distant with us?"

"Of course not."

Song Zhi answered immediately.

"Then don't refuse anymore."

Rong Zhengqing made a prompt decision and spoke immediately.

Things had come to this point, and Song Zhi naturally couldn't say anything more, but he was still a little worried.

"But Nie Jinmei doesn't know any of this. What if I tell her and scare her?"

Getting pregnant before marriage is no small matter. Considering Nie Jinmei's usual personality, Song Zhi was actually reluctant to let her know.

Rong Zhengqing glanced at her speechlessly and said unhappily, "She's not as fragile as you think. Don't forget that she's several years older than you."

It’s just that Song Zhi usually behaves more mature and looks more mature than Nie Jinmei.

Song Zhi curled her lips in embarrassment. If Rong Zhengqing hadn't said that, she would have forgotten that she was the youngest.

But she has lived two lives, and if you add the age of her previous life, she is much older than all of them.

"Okay, stop overthinking. I'll go get her in."

Rong Zhengqing's voice rang out again, bringing Song Zhi back to her senses. By the time she came to her senses, Rong Zhengqing had already pushed the door open and left.

It was still early, so Nie Jinmei and the three little ones played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the yard under the moonlight.

When Rong Zhengqing went out, he saw Nie Jinmei with her arms outstretched, desperately protecting the chicks behind her, making it impossible for the eagle Dabao to touch Erbao and Sanya.

"Sister Nie is so awesome, hahaha!"

"Lululu, you can't catch us!"

Erbao and Sanya held on tightly to the clothes of the person in front of them and hid behind Nie Jinmei, and did not forget to stick their heads out to provoke Dabao who was pretending to be an eagle.

Dabao was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and swore to catch them.

"Ah! Sister Nie, stop him quickly! Don't let him catch us!"

Dabao's sudden attack scared San Ya so much that she screamed. Fortunately, Nie Jinmei reacted quickly and stopped Dabao's attack again.
