Shen Fenghua: "..."
Well, she actually used this trick.
Putting everything else aside, there have been some positive results.
Looking at Li Yanran, Shen Fenghua couldn't hold back any longer and urged, "Speak up! What happened next? What happened after that?"
Things became much simpler after that; luck can't last forever, just like it is now.
Last time, the weather wasn't particularly cold, but Xiao'e was frozen for half a day after jumping down, almost dying, but she managed to escape with her life. However, this time he had no intention of learning from his mistakes and simply repeated the same thing.
It seems like they're stubbornly trying to express a certain meaning.
My plan is fine. It didn't work last time, but it will definitely work this time.
Perhaps they were reckless and didn't consider the consequences or the weather at all.
This time it was indeed a success. The battalion commander didn't know the inside story, and Xiao'e did look quite pitiful. He was also getting on in years and it was time for him to get married, so he reluctantly agreed.
But fate did not smile upon Xiao'e this time.
Her body was already broken, and then she went into the water. On top of that, the battalion commander promised to marry her. After experiencing extreme joy and sorrow, her body was overworked and she collapsed.
Once he fell, he never got up again.
He had a high fever for three days, which ultimately killed him.
Shen Fenghua: "..."
She was somewhat astonished, and even a little confused about Xiao'e's thought process.
Although Xiao'e was despicable, it's still quite heartbreaking to think that a living person was lost just like that.
"What was he thinking? In this weather, how dare he go into the water and splash around like that? Even if he wanted to scheme against someone, he could have gone up the mountain, broken an arm or leg, and had someone carry him down. If an outsider saw them and confirmed that they were indeed in close contact, the marriage would have been finalized."
Li Yanran: "..."
She glanced at Shen Fenghua and said, "You're pretty quick-witted."
Shen Fenghua snorted arrogantly, "Please, I'm just too lazy to use my brain usually, I'm not an idiot."
Xiao'e's situation is rather difficult to comment on.
Shen Fenghua sighed. Li Yanran thought about it and felt quite bad too. Looking at Shen Fenghua's big belly, she sighed and changed the subject.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this bad luck," she said, raising her hand and touching Shen Fenghua's stomach twice. "Is the baby not bothering you?"
"She doesn't cause any trouble and is quite well-behaved."
When her child started moving, she was overjoyed, overflowing with maternal love.
She later realized she had been too optimistic.
This little thing is always causing trouble, day and night, hitting one thing after another.
Whether it was a brother or a sister, they ended up in a full-blown fight, determined to prove who was superior.
Later, I don't know what happened, but it became much quieter. Although it was still fussy, it didn't hurt anymore.
Is your stomach tight?
When Shen Fenghua was a young woman, her waist was so slender that a man with slightly larger hands could wrap his arms around her.
Her slender waist has now become that of a heavily pregnant woman, her tight skin stretched taut – one can only imagine how uncomfortable that must be.
Mentioning Shen Fenghua brings endless sweet memories.
Pregnancy and childbirth are inherently difficult for women, but Qi Ye's understanding and consideration for her feelings are truly admirable.
"It's alright," Shen Fenghua said softly. "I didn't feel anything before, but later when I was feeling tense, Qi Ye would use snow cream or something to massage my stomach. My belly became moist and not dry, which made me feel a little better."
Li Yanran looked at Shen Fenghua and sighed, "Goodness, you really are..."
It seems she was overthinking it; she had originally planned to teach Shen Fenghua some secret techniques.
Now it seems there's no need for her at all. That young couple, especially Qi Ye, are very thoughtful.
"It's just a bit expensive."
That's true. A woman's face is only a tiny bit big, but her belly is a different story, especially when she's carrying two children.
If Shen Fenghua were to apply a jar of face cream to herself, she wouldn't even use three jars a year.
But in just over a month, four cans have already been used up.
A jar costs three yuan, and the expense on the face cream alone is twelve yuan, which is equivalent to a person's weekly salary.
Fortunately, her family still had some savings; otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to spend it like that.
Li Yanran wanted to laugh, "Fine, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to find Grandma. Let's have a good meal together tonight."
With Qi Ye on a mission and He Jun on a long-distance trip, neither of the men in charge of the two families were home, so Li Yanran thought it best for the women to get together as well.
“Sure,” Shen Fenghua sat down, rubbing her belly, “Then I’ll shamelessly wait to freeload.”
"Get lost," Li Yanran laughed and scolded, "Even if you wanted to help, I wouldn't dare let you lend a hand. If you did, we wouldn't be able to eat tonight, we'd just be drinking the wind."
Hahahaha.
The dinner that night was naturally very substantial, and the first thing the children did when they got home after running around all day was to take a bath.
Steaming hot water was placed in a large bucket, and the children went in one by one.
I was halfway through washing when it started raining.
Seeing the raindrops, Li Yanran quickly took down all the clothes hanging in the yard. By the time the child had finished washing up and everything was tidied up, the rain outside was so heavy that it was impossible to see the road.
Li Yanran looked at the rain, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Shen Fenghua was serving soup when she saw Li Yanran's furrowed brows. She said in a light tone, "Oh, it's no big deal. Perfect, you can stay at my house tonight."
He Dongdong was the happiest when Shen Fenghua said this.
"Really, godmother?"
Shen Fenghua smiled and said, "You brat, when have I ever lied to you?"
Grandma chimed in, "That's right, Yanran, why don't you stay? Look at this heavy rain, Dongdong just had a bath. If he gets wet on the way back, he'll suffer."
Li Yanran thought about it and agreed. Besides, the two families already had this kind of relationship, so why be so dramatic about this?
"Okay, then I'll stay here for the night."
Shen Fenghua was delighted, "If you live with me, we sisters can talk to each other at night."
"Hmph, that's quite right. I think you just want me to serve you when you get up at night."
"Hehehehe! You have no idea how many people are eager to serve me, but I don't like it at all."
"What a terrible thing to do..."
In the small courtyard, through the continuous rain, the warm yellow light inexplicably exuded a cozy atmosphere.
A few noises came from outside, quickly drowned out by the soft sound of rain. But Big Yellow in its kennel twitched its ears and meowed.
It stood up, looked at the rain outside, reached out its little white glove to catch some raindrops, and then rushed out into the rain.
