"Shut up!"
"These are all old, trivial matters. Why are you bringing them up now?"
Jia Zhangshi's words made He Daqing's face stiffen and turn red. He had indeed provoked Jia Zhangshi when he was in a hurry, but at that time Jia Zhangshi didn't think much of him, so nothing happened between them and the matter was dropped.
Now that so many years have passed, Jia Zhangshi still has the nerve to bring it up.
They're not ashamed at all!
"You think I'll shut up just because you tell me to? I won't! Come and hit me if you dare!" Madam Jia spat viciously at He Daqing: "You heartless bastard!"
Since she couldn't get past He Daqing, Jia Zhangshi simply stopped pretending and revealed her usual arguing demeanor, intending to have a good argument with He Daqing.
"Incomprehensible!"
He Daqing knew that arguing with Jia Zhangshi would only make him a laughingstock, so he gave her a few warnings and left.
"Furthermore, He Daqing, let me tell you, it's me who didn't fancy you, not the other way around!"
Jia Zhangshi shouted defiantly, then glanced at the middle-aged women still watching the commotion, and said irritably, "Are you all just bored and have nothing better to do? Get out of here!"
Why?
This statement immediately displeased the older women.
"This backyard isn't yours," the older woman scoffed.
The other middle-aged women chimed in.
"That's right, the yard belongs to everyone, we can stay as long as we want."
"Jia Zhangshi, what's the point of all this effort you've put into publicizing your affair with He Daqing these past few days? Do you really want to be Sha Zhu's mother?"
"Hahaha, there's no way Sha Zhu would agree to that. He doesn't even acknowledge He Daqing as his father anymore."
"Tsk tsk, she used to say she would stay widowed for Old Jia for life, but now it seems like she was just making things up."
The older women cricketed in front of Jia Zhangshi without any concern that she might suddenly attack them.
No matter how powerful she is, can she take on ten people at once?
If Jia Zhangshi dared to lay a hand on her, the women present would definitely teach her a lesson, especially those who didn't get along with her; they wouldn't hold back when pulling her hair.
After He Daqing clarified the situation, Jia Zhangshi's plan to jump over He Daqing's head was shelved.
Therefore, Madam Jia quieted down for a while, and the courtyard once again enjoyed a brief period of tranquility.
That morning, Chen Jun got up and made some chicken soup wontons, which Chen Xueru had specifically asked for yesterday.
But just as Chen Jun sent Lin Yao to wake Chen Xueru up, he learned that Chen Xueru was feeling unwell and didn't want to eat breakfast.
Um?
That's strange.
This was the first time Chen Xueru had refused a meal she had cooked.
"Brother, is my sister-in-law sick? She ate less yesterday and the day before."
Lin Yao, being a foodie, was more perceptive than Chen Jun. She noticed Chen Xueru's unusual behavior a few days earlier. For example, she used to be able to eat two large steamed buns, but recently she could only eat one. This was very different from her previous habit of not putting down her chopsticks until she was full.
And the chicken soup wontons smelled so good this morning, my sister-in-law didn’t even want to get out of bed, which is very strange!
Lin Yao was worried that Chen Xueru had a health problem.
"You eat first, I'll go check on your sister-in-law." Chen Jun patted Lin Yao's head, then got up and went inside.
Then they saw Chen Xueru lying on the bed, lost in thought.
Chen Jun first reached out and patted Chen Xueru's head.
The body temperature is perfectly normal.
"Honey, where do you feel unwell? Should I make you some medicinal food to help you recover?" Chen Jun said with a smile.
Chen Xueru shook her head in confusion: "I don't know exactly what's wrong. For example, my brain tells me I should get up and eat wontons, but my stomach tells me I don't want to eat them."
"Moreover, I've been a bit tired these past few days and always want to sleep a little longer. Yesterday, I slept for the entire afternoon at the store, but it didn't affect my sleep at all last night."
Chen Xueru didn't know what was wrong with her, so she could only tell Chen Jun about her discomfort.
Loss of appetite, excessive sleepiness?
Chen Jun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this.
If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Xueru is pregnant!
And it was a real pregnancy, not like Jia Zhangshi's, who was just bored and had nothing better to do.
Counting the days, the two have been married for some time now. Because they are both very young, they haven't made any special preparations during this time and have always done things as they please.
Thinking of this, Chen Jun couldn't help but grin.
I'm going to be a dad!
Great news! Incredible good news!
"How can you be like this? I can't even eat, and you can still laugh!" Chen Xueru pouted and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Chen Jun's waist.
Chen Jun smiled and grasped Chen Xueru's hand: "How can I not smile on such a joyous occasion! Honey, you're not sick, you've just welcomed a little baby here!"
Following the direction Chen Jun pointed, Chen Xueru suddenly sat up in bed, touched her stomach in disbelief, then smoothed her hair and asked, "Am I... pregnant?"
"It should be."
"Are you really pregnant?" Chen Xueru's sorrow instantly turned to joy, and she hugged Chen Jun and giggled.
"I'm finally pregnant! We've been married for so long and there's been no sign of pregnancy. I was starting to wonder if there was something wrong with me."
Chen Jun looked tall and thin, but he was the type who looked slim in clothes but was muscular when undressed. He was more energetic than a calf and could always make her beg for mercy. So Chen Xueru had no doubt that Chen Jun had any problems.
Since Chen Jun is fine, then the problem lies with her.
Now that I'm pregnant, it means we're both very healthy.
"Get up and eat something, then we'll go to the hospital for a checkup." Chen Jun looked at Chen Xueru, who was smiling like a hen, and patted her on the back.
Chen Xueru grumbled and refused to let go, and it took her a while before she finally got up.
After breakfast, the couple rode their bikes to the hospital.
"Hey, what's going on with you two today? Why are you only riding one bicycle?" Xu Damao asked curiously as he was getting ready for work.
"I'm going for a stroll!" Chen Jun replied casually, then pushed his bicycle out the door.
It's not confirmed yet whether she's really pregnant, and even if she is, Chen Jun doesn't plan to tell anyone.
"Hey, it's all because you leaders can just not go if you don't want to."
Xu Damao said enviously that if he could become the director of the propaganda department, let alone showing movies in the theater, no one would dare to say anything even if he put the equipment at home.
"Pah, what are you showing off for!"
Just as Xu Damao was imagining how great it would be to become the director, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.
Without even turning his head, Xu Damao knew that it was Jia Zhangshi spewing excrement.
Others might see Chen Jun and Chen Xueru riding a bicycle together as a sign of affection, but Jia Zhangshi was absolutely filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The Chen family had the most bicycles in the courtyard, while the Jia family didn't even have a single bicycle wheel.
