"I'm afraid she's waiting for you. You should be careful with your words when you're pregnant, or else something unexpected will happen."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Li Dahua and Li Xiangxia, mother and daughter, came over.

"Oh, that's perfect. Xiangxia is about to give birth, and I wanted to come see you."

"What are you looking at?"

"Grandma Xiangxia calculated it and said it's a boy. Can you take another look?"

"Auntie, I don't have the ability to do that. Since her mother-in-law has already let it go, there's no need to bother with it."

Li Xiangxia boasted, "My belly is pointed, so it's definitely a boy. You'd better hurry up. If your next baby is also a girl, don't let anyone throw a pot at you."

She spoke without restraint and gloated.

Li Mingqing was speechless.

Everyone told him that if he didn't have a son, no one would throw pots at him, and it was too early for him since he was only twenty.

By then he will be dead, so whatever happens will happen.

Li Dahua nudged Li Xiangxia lightly with her elbow.

This would be effective if told to others, but Li Mingqing is not the kind of person who keeps giving birth just for the sake of having a son.

"Haha, then give birth to seven or eight sons."

I won’t tire you to death.

The whole family depends on Zhu Huamao's salary. He has so many children and wonders how he will support the family in the future.

She will be the one to suffer when the time comes.

"Right, you can see that I'm carrying a boy in my belly. I feel relieved when you say that. It seems that it is really a son."

"It will be dark soon, you should go back quickly."

If you don't get along, there's no need to talk too much. Every time Li Xiangxia comes back, she comes to cause trouble.

She had already turned around and left, but when she saw Sun Jiaxue coming out, she came over to talk to her again.

Li Mingqing closed the door quickly.

"Brother Mingqing, who is it?"

"Li Xiangxia and Auntie came over and said a few words."

"She should be giving birth soon, right?"

"Yeah, she's about to give birth and she's still quiet."

Li Xiangxia returned to the county town early the next morning.

If you didn't know, you would think she came here just to cause trouble for him.

I heard from the team leader that she gave birth to a son on the same night she returned.

Li Mingqing could imagine what she would look like in the future.

The days are getting hotter day by day, and the dog days of summer are about to arrive.

I don’t know what wind brought Zhou Jingli here.

"Ming Qing, I have something to talk to you about."

"I definitely can't help you with your problem."

"I haven't heard what it is yet. Only you can do this."

When Li Mingqing heard this, he knew it was not a good thing.

"I think the old couple of the Zheng family treat you differently. If you go and say a few good words to me, maybe my request will be successful."

It really is the case.

"Not at all."

"There's nothing wrong with talking about it."

He speaks so confidently that if you don't know him, you might think he is a good person. If it's so simple, why doesn't he go himself?

"I don't have such great ability, you should find someone else."

"No one else in the village has this ability except you. They will definitely listen to what you say. When the task is accomplished, I will definitely thank you very much."

"Don't I know what you're thinking?"

"Why are you making such a fuss about just saying something? I'm not asking you for money."

Yu Huaizhi happened to come over.

He came specifically to see Li Mingqing.

Just as the summer harvest was over, he and Wang Zhiqing planned to build a house.

I have been busy with the house site that the village chief approved for me last time and haven’t had any time to work on it.

"Ming Qing, I came here to ask if you know anyone who can haul bricks. We're planning to pick a good day in a couple of days to start building the house."

“When do you use bricks?”

"It's just these two days, I just happen to be free."

"I'll give you an address and you can go there directly."

"OK."

Zhou Jing stood aside, his back teeth almost broken.

He had no money to build a house, so he tried every means to marry into the family in order to live in a new house.

Look at others who just use bricks to build new houses.

Li Mingqing knew from the look on his face that he must be feeling very upset.

Without saying another word, he turned and left.

Yu Huaizhi asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"Nothing, that's just how he is."

Wang Mudan was chatting with Sun Jiaxue on the side.

"Jiaxue, your house is so well-maintained. I want to build our new house like this. It feels so comfortable."

"It will be almost finished in seven or eight days."

"Niuniu looked like you at first, but the older she gets, the more she looks like your Mingqing."

"My eldest sister-in-law also said it a few days ago. She takes after her father."

Two days later, Wei Yong and Wei Yun each pulled two large carts full of red bricks.

While everyone was there, Yu Huaizhi said, "Construction will begin the day after tomorrow. Folks who are free can come and help. It's 20 cents a day, and a meal is provided at noon."

When they heard that they had both money and food, they all signed up.

If you stay at home and have nothing, but if you work hard, you can earn money and have food to eat. Everyone can figure this out.

Wang Dazhu glanced at Liu Jiajia with dissatisfaction.

Look at Wang Zhiqing, his family must have given him a lot of money, otherwise they would have just built a mud house.

We are all educated youth, so why are there such huge differences between us?

"What are you looking at? It's you who's incompetent. It's already good enough for me to live with you in the City God Temple. What else do you want? It's your blessing to marry me."

"I won't argue with you outside for now."

Almost all the villagers who were capable of doing heavy work came.

Wang Dazhu and Zhou Jingli looked at each other in confusion, and then looked away in confusion.

Li Mingqing was targeted by two people as soon as he came back from riding his bicycle.

Before I could say anything, I saw Wei Yong coming over with a big bag.
