"I've calculated the days, it should be... more than half a month left." Jiang Liu stroked her belly with one hand, feeling the real presence of the child inside her, and couldn't help but smile.
However, her smile was faint and tinged with melancholy.
"Your calculations might not be accurate," Cuizhu muttered softly. "Miss, please be more careful. We're about to give birth, can you please stop buying things?"
Looking at the young lady's faintly smiling yet melancholy face, she felt a pang of sadness.
Her daughter has a quirk: whenever she's in a bad mood, she likes to go on a shopping spree.
Now, she's not only buying things for herself and her child, but also adding a lot of things to her own collection.
The young lady doesn't care about the money, but she's heartbroken.
No matter how rich you are, you can't afford to spend like this.
"It's not advisable to go out for more than half a month." Qiu Dazhi spoke in a serious and scholarly manner.
He thought his second sister-in-law was really carefree.
He had heard Zhang Yuyan say that Madam Zhang spent most of her time in the house during her pregnancy and until she gave birth.
His second sister-in-law is already so far along in her pregnancy, yet she's still wandering around aimlessly.
Jiang Liu was amused by Qiu Dazhi's tone of voice.
She smiled and asked, "Fourth Uncle didn't go to the academy today?"
"No, I didn't go. The academy is closed today."
Qiu Dazhi spoke with a somewhat shy smile. He was still a little reserved in front of his second sister-in-law.
"Where's Ah Xu?" Jiang Liu had completely forgotten about it.
"Ah Xu led his two classmates back to the village, presumably to practice swordsmanship with his master."
Going back, when Qiu Xu was mentioned, Qiu Dazhi was disdainful.
But now, when Qiu Xu is mentioned again, he feels a little envious.
Ah Xu had only been studying for a little over a year when he passed the imperial examination for the first degree, which was much better than what he had achieved.
Moreover, Ah Xu is skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Having become Li Zheng's disciple, A Xu had long forgotten the weak and easily bullied skinny boy he once was.
Ah Xu's dislike for him made him somewhat sad.
After all, he hadn't been friendly to Qiu Yan and her two siblings before; in fact, he had been quite harsh with them.
He also admitted that he had been selfish, arrogant, and conceited in the past...
Upon closer examination, there are a whole host of shortcomings.
If he hadn't lost his mother, he wouldn't have known that he was pitiful, pathetic, and utterly destitute in this world.
After losing his mother, he suffered from depression for a long time.
It was the help of his second and fifth brothers that made him realize the existence of family ties.
"Second Sister-in-law, get in the car. Are we going to Baiyang Courtyard or back to Qingyun?" Qiu Dazhi asked Jiang Liu.
"I'm not going," Jiang Liu said with a smile, shaking her head.
"I'll go to another one."
"Still shopping?" Qiu Dazhi was a little reluctant, but he saw Jiang Liu already walking towards her family's children's clothing shop.
"Miss, weren't the baby clothes already prepared? You didn't forget to prepare clothes for both the baby boy and the baby girl."
Cuizhu had no choice but to follow along.
“Miss, even clothes made in your own home still have a cost, right?” Cuizhu was genuinely worried that her young mistress would squander all her savings.
Her daughter is used to spending money lavishly.
Qiu Dazhi had no choice but to stop the carriage outside the shop and wait quietly.
Jiang Liutong's clothes were laid out, and Cuizhu was carrying quite a few more bags and packages.
All of them are clothes for babies to wear through the winter.
With Qiu Dazhi's help, the clothes were placed into the carriage one by one.
“Miss, if we buy any more, our carriage will be full. You're pregnant, so let's go back. What if you go into labor…”
"It should be about ready." Jiang Liu interrupted Cui Zhu, looking at the little clothes in the car with a satisfied smile.
She wondered, what exactly is her child lacking?
After all, it was her first time giving birth, and she had no experience.
