Yes, I'm pregnant.
Su Miaoyan took the pregnancy test report, glanced at it, and then returned it. "Congratulations, sister-in-law."
Ma Yingchun forced a smile and said, "Thank you, sister. Okay, let's go in quickly."
Su Miaoyan was a little surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and followed the two into the courtyard.
This was her first time entering the neighbor's yard.
The yellow earth on both sides of the courtyard was cracked, and the walls were also somewhat old.
It's obviously not well cared for.
Once inside the courtyard, the basic layout was similar to that of her own home. Perhaps because Ma Yingchun had spent a considerable amount of time there, the place was filled with a strong sense of everyday life.
"Hey girl, want some fruit?"
Ma Yingchun picked up the apple from the table and handed it over.
The apple was very red, and there were still water droplets on it, so it was obvious that it had been washed.
Not wanting to refuse the other person's kindness, Su Miaoyan accepted it, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
He took a big bite out of the apple.
Unlike the sweet apples in the Omnipotent Space, the apples in my hand were astringent and old, and not crisp at all when I chewed them.
She practically forced herself to swallow it.
So this is how old the local apples are without the added spring water...
Ma Yingchun asked, "Little sister, do you think it's delicious?"
She also picked up an apple and took a bite, her expression unchanged, clearly indicating that she was used to eating it.
Forehead……
Su Miaoyan didn't know how to answer the question, so she laughed it off, "It's alright, just a bit dry."
Ma Yingchun nodded, "I think so too, but it's still very delicious. By the way, sister, where did you buy that apple you gave me in the Gobi Desert yesterday? It was really delicious!"
Su Miaoyan made an excuse, "I picked it up from the orchard floor. I didn't expect to find such a good apple. I'll try again next time."
Ma Yingchun had no doubts.
Thinking about how the young woman had casually picked out saplings that were all alive, he nodded in agreement, "Girl, you really have good luck."
Just then, Wei Deyao brought over two glasses of water and placed them on the table, saying politely, "Chief Lu's wife, I was afraid you don't like tea. If you feel thirsty, have some spring water!"
Mountain spring water is not commonly found in the military region.
Su Miaoyan immediately said, "Thank you, Battalion Commander Wei."
Wei Deyao waved his hand, put on his apron, and went to the kitchen to stir-fry.
Seeing that he had left, Ma Yingchun finally pulled her head back, unfolded the pregnancy test report she had put in her pocket, and placed it on the table.
Then, he let out a heavy sigh.
Su Miaoyan was slightly taken aback. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Ma Yingchun said softly, "Sister, I don't want this child!"
Su Miaoyan was bewildered.
She now understood why Ma Yingchun had been acting so secretly—she was trying to avoid Wei Deyao.
Su Miaoyan lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law, why?"
Ma Yingchun said, "I'm afraid that once I have a baby, I won't be able to send money home anymore. Everyone knows that raising a child is a bottomless pit; you need to eat, buy formula, and make new clothes..."
Su Miaoyan: "..."
Having a baby does cost money, but does that mean we can't just stop sending money home?
After thinking it over, Su Miaoyan replied, "Sister-in-law, I think Battalion Commander Wei also likes this child quite a bit. Why don't you discuss it with Battalion Commander Wei?"
Ma Yingchun shook her head vigorously, "No, no, if he finds out, he'll definitely argue with me."
"Then, sister-in-law, you're not going to hide it from him and secretly abort the child, are you?"
Ma Yingchun touched her stomach. "The only way to get rid of it is to go to the hospital. Once I go to the hospital for surgery, a family member has to sign the consent form. If Lao Wei doesn't come with me, I can't have the procedure done!"
So, they actually had that idea.
Su Miaoyan was speechless. In both her past and present lives, this was the first time she had ever encountered someone who would beat their child in order to send money home.
She hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, you should be careful about this. I heard that you can't just lose your first child. If you hurt your body, you might not be able to get pregnant again!"
What?!
Infertility?!
Ma Yingchun's eyes immediately lit up with panic.
She just doesn't want children now, but that doesn't mean she won't want them in the future.
Ma Yingchun sighed and calmed herself down. "Then I'll talk to Lao Wei again. But... sister, I'm pregnant now, so I can't plant trees with you anymore. You'll have to be careful on your own from now on."
Seeing that she had taken it to heart, Su Miaoyan thought that intimidation was indeed effective, and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law."
Before she could say anything more, Wei Deyao, a grown man, wearing an apron and carrying steaming dishes, walked out of the kitchen.
In a short period of time, perhaps because Ma Yingchun was pregnant, or perhaps because Su Miaoyan had arrived, Wei Deyao prepared one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.
As I put the dishes down, I went to the kitchen and brought over three bowls of rice.
The chopsticks were also ready.
Su Miaoyan took the food and said thank you. Seeing this, Ma Yingchun had no choice but to swallow her words.
What she didn't say was that on the way here, Wei Deyao had already said that he wouldn't be sending half of his salary to her family this month as a subsidy...
That's why her eyes were red.
She wanted to ask Su Miaoyan what she should do.
But seeing Wei Deyao keep putting food into her bowl, Ma Yingchun held back her tears and started eating.
Originally, Su Miaoyan could have gone to the post office by herself.
But yesterday, on the way back, Ma Yingchun suddenly mentioned that she also wanted to send a letter.
The two thought they could go together since they were going the same way, but Ma Yingchun had something to do in the morning and was delayed, so they moved the time to mail the letter to the afternoon.
Wei Deyao knew that the two were going to the post office in the afternoon, so after finishing his meal, he told Ma Yingchun and Su Miaoyan to hurry up and go.
On the way, Ma Yingchun looked at Su Miaoyan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back several times.
Su Miaoyan noticed it too, but didn't expose her, patiently waiting for her to speak.
But even after arriving at the post office, Ma Yingchun still hadn't said what she wanted to ask.
Su Miaoyan sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we've arrived at the post office. Let's go in quickly."
Ma Yingchun suddenly came to her senses, "Okay, okay."
Almost as soon as she stepped inside, the post office staff recognized Su Miaoyan as the capitalist's daughter who had come to mail a letter that day.
Thinking back to Professor Xue's speech that day...
The post office worker swallowed hard.
What should I do? I can't find that letter!
I just hope that Chief Lu's wife is here to mail a letter and won't ask about what happened that day...
But Su Miaoyan came specifically for that letter.
Seeing that the staff member who had previously given her a hard time was now much nicer, Su Miaoyan walked directly toward the person who had received her letter that day.
Zhu Xiaorui paced back and forth in a panic.
Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "Hello, I wanted to ask, did you mail the letter I gave you a few days ago?"
When Su Miaoyan said this, her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
Tong Mengyun, who was dealing with letters in the corner, lit up when she heard Su Miaoyan's words.
Great, Zhu Xiaorui is finally going to be in trouble!
