Chapter 314
Ye Fuyue laughed. "The baby in her belly is truly precious. After being married for so long, there's still no sign of pregnancy. Zhou Jinmei must have been tormenting her a lot. Now that she's finally pregnant, she must be careful. If she does miscarry, who knows if she'll have another chance to get pregnant."
Shen Yao suddenly looked at Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue thought Shen Yao had heard the deeper meaning in her words.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yao said, "Don't you want to have a daughter? We should hurry up, Ye Fuyun is already pregnant."
Ye Fuyue looked at him sideways: "Which night did you not seize the opportunity?"
"You can catch it now." Shen Yao said.
"You want to do something bad while Haohao Ranran is away, right?"
"This isn't a bad thing; this is a good thing."
As he spoke, Shen Yao's hands became restless.
By the time the two of them finished their work, it was already an hour later. Shen Yao hurried to take a nap, otherwise it would be time to go to work in the afternoon.
Ye Fuyue lay on the bed and closed her eyes. She originally wanted to take a nap, but suddenly she thought of something.
She was supposed to have her period last week, but it's been delayed for a week. Could she be pregnant?
Ye Fuyue was afraid that she had made a mistake, so she waited for another week. Seeing that her period had not come yet, she went to the hospital.
When she came out of the hospital, she was holding a test report in her hand, which showed that she was indeed pregnant and was just six weeks pregnant.
Ye Fuyue was both happy and a little sad about this result.
She returned to the compound thoughtfully.
Cui Li was sitting in front of the house, mending clothes and watching the children play.
Seeing Ye Fuyue looking worried, he said to her, "Fuyue, you're back from outside! What happened to you?"
Ye Fuyue smiled and shook her head: "Nothing, maybe I didn't get enough rest, so I'm a little sleepy."
"It must be tiring to take care of Haohao and Ranran. Taking care of one child is hard enough, and you must be tired to take care of two." Cui Li said.
Ye Fuyue smiled and didn't explain, but she noticed Caixia playing with Huan Di, Lai Bao and Zao Er.
After not seeing her for a while, Duan Caixia had grown taller. Her clothes were obviously much shorter, revealing part of her wrists and ankles.
As Duan Caixia and Zaoer played, Ye Fuyue discovered that there were faint bruises on Caixia's arms and legs.
"Caixia, where did the injury on your leg come from?" Ye Fuyue pointed at the injury on Caixia's exposed leg and asked her.
Caixia was startled and looked at her leg. Seeing the wound on her leg exposed, she quickly pulled up her trouser leg to cover it.
"I did it... accidentally..." Caixia said timidly and stammeringly.
Ye Fuyue and Cui Li still didn't understand something, and they looked at each other.
Caixia must have been abused.
When Zhao Yuan was around, Caixia had never had such injuries on her body, and Duan's mother and Duan Dawei didn't seem like the kind of people who would beat children.
Caixia's injury was caused by either Old Man Duan or his new wife, Old Lady Tao.
As if to verify Ye Fuyue and Cui Li's guess, Old Lady Tao's voice rang out faintly: "Caixia——"
Hearing this voice, Caixia trembled all over.
She looked in the direction of Old Lady Tao and called out timidly, "Grandma."
Old Lady Tao glanced coldly at Ye Fuyue and Cui Li, then smiled at Caixia and said, "Go home with grandma."
Caixia didn't want to go back, and said weakly: "I want to play for a while longer."
Old Mrs. Tao extended her hand to her, the smile on her face seemed to deepen a little, but her eyes were actually cold: "Be good, go home."
Caixia didn't dare to say anything more and could only trot over and hold Old Mrs. Tao's hand.
When Old Lady Tao was walking towards the Duan family with Caixia, she gave Ye Fuyue and Cui Li a big look.
Ye Fuyue and Cui Li looked at each other in confusion.
"This old lady Tao doesn't seem to be a pushover." Ye Fuyue muttered softly.
"Aunt Donghong's house is right next to the Duan family. She said she often heard Caixia crying. If Duan's mother and Duan Dawei tried to help her, old man Duan would yell at her." Cui Li said in a low voice.
Ye Fuyue sighed and said to Cui Li, "Not every stepmother or stepgrandmother is like yours."
Look at Huan Di, he is wearing clean and fitting clothes, and he looks rounder than when he was a child. It is obvious that he has been well raised by Cui Li.
Cui Li smiled shyly.
Old Mrs. Tao took Caixia back to the Duan family.
As soon as she entered the Duan family's door, her face changed immediately. She pushed Caixia hard on the back and pushed Caixia to the ground.
The horrifying memories of the past came flooding back. Caixia cried, stepped back, and kept begging: "Great-grandmother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time..."
When Mrs. Duan heard the noise, she ran out of the house, squatted beside Caixia, and said to Mrs. Tao, "Mom, what's going on? What did Caixia do wrong?"
Old Mrs. Tao sat on the chair with a cold face. She poured herself a glass of water, drank it slowly, and then said quietly, "Ask her."
Duan's mother looked at Caixia.
Caixia sobbed and said, "My great-grandmother asked me to come back. I should have come back immediately. I shouldn't have said I wanted to play for a while longer."
Duan's mother was heartbroken and helped Caixia up from the ground: "She is still a child. Who doesn't like to play at this age? Caixia is a sensible child. She won't play outside all the time. When she has played enough, she will come back on her own."
"You mean, it's not her fault, it's mine?" Old Mrs. Tao looked at Duan's mother coldly.
"That's not what I meant. I..."
Mrs. Tao interrupted Mrs. Duan and said, "If you are dissatisfied with me, just tell your father directly. I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
"What's wrong? Who is dissatisfied with you? What do you want to tell me?" Old man Duan came in from outside with his hands behind his back.
"Old man..." Old Mrs. Tao's expression changed instantly. She ran to Old Man Duan in a pretentious voice and started to complain: "I asked Caixia to come back, but she said she wanted to play for a while longer. I got upset and wanted to teach Caixia a lesson for a few days. But your daughter-in-law said that Caixia was a sensible child and that children her age all like to play."
"Hmph, what's so fun about being outside? A girl of her age should help with more housework. She spends all day thinking about playing outside. Her mind has become wild, so how can she get married in the future?" Old man Duan scolded Caixia with a gloomy face.
He then said to Duan's mother, "You too, are already a grandmother, how can you always spoil Caixia? Caixia doesn't have a mother now, you should teach Caixia how to behave and do things."
Duan's mother knew that Old Man Duan would always stand on Old Lady Tao's side no matter what.
She nodded timidly and took the opportunity to say, "Dad, I will teach Caixia a lesson. Look, Caixia's clothes are too short. Let's make her two new clothes."
