Chapter 104 Stung by a giant wasp
A loud bang.
Yagyu Gen's forehead was broken, and he fell to the ground.
Blood was flowing freely. Before long, he gradually recovered from his dizziness, lay on the ground, and looked up at the top of the tree.
There was a very large hornet's nest on the top of the tree.
The hornet's nest, which was about to collapse from his impact, landed directly on his chest.
Yagyu Gen was stunned. His eyes widened and his mouth gaped open, and he was so shocked that he couldn't move.
Until the wasps poked their heads out one by one.
"ah!"
Yagyu Gen pushed aside the hornet's nest on his chest, screamed as he got up, and ran forward like a madman.
This time, he didn't return to the big tree, but ran all the way towards Cheng'an County.
However, it was followed by a swarm of hundreds of large wasps.
The hornets swarmed around him, stinging his head, his buttocks, and his neck.
The pain was so intense that Yagyu Gen stomped his feet, and his screams filled the once quiet path.
If anyone heard this, they would definitely get goosebumps.
The giant hornet stung Yagyu Gen all the way.
When he returned to the Mo residence, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he collapsed in agony on the threshold of the Mo family home.
The next morning, Du Wanchun returned to the shop with Zhou Feng and Zhang Qiuhe.
Zhang Qiuhe opened the shop door, checked the incense in the shop, and then prepared to do business.
In Cheng'an County, many women have always run businesses. For example, the owner of the teahouse next door, Madam Xu, is also a woman, as is the owner of the jewelry shop on the street, Manager Li.
Perhaps because they were both women, they felt a sense of kinship and took good care of Du Wanchun's business, while also feeling great pity for Zhang Qiuhe, a pitiful woman.
As soon as the teahouse waitress saw that Zhou's incense shop had opened, she immediately handed two large meat buns to Zhang Qiuhe, saying, "Qiuhe, here, give this to Xiaoyao'er."
Zhang Qiuhe quickly declined, saying, "Thank you, Manager Xu, but my youngest son and I have already had breakfast."
Xu Niang knew she was just being polite, so she directly stuffed the buns into her hands and said with a smile, "You've already eaten, but you should eat more. Look how thin you and your youngest son are, just skin and bones!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to greet Du Wanchun in the shop, "Sister Wanchun, are you still experiencing morning sickness lately?"
Du Wanchun came over and said, "No, I can eat anything these days."
Looking at her still-flat belly, Xu Niang said with expectant eyes, "That's good. You must take good care of yourself. Manager Li and I made a bet."
"A bet? What kind of bet?" Zhang Qiuhe quickly asked.
The woman, dressed in bright orange, smiled radiantly and said, "I'll bet ten taels of silver that Wan Chun's baby is a boy."
As she spoke, she glanced at the jewelry shop next door, “Manager Li bets twenty taels that she’s carrying a girl! If it’s a girl, I’ll give Manager Li forty taels; if it’s a boy, Manager Li will give me twenty taels.”
Zhang Qiuhe finally understood. "Manager Xu, how can you be so sure that Sister Du is carrying a boy?"
As she spoke, she looked at Du Wanchun beside her.
The woman, fanning herself with her fan, said with a smile, "That's easy, sour for a boy, spicy for a girl!"
Zhang Qiuhe suddenly realized, "That's right, when I was pregnant with my youngest child, I also craved sour foods."
Du Wanchun quickly laughed and said, "That doesn't seem very accurate. I heard my mother say that she liked spicy food when she was pregnant with my husband!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Niang almost hesitated, but quickly reiterated, "No, it must be a boy. I won't change it."
Zhang Qiuhe chatted with them, her complexion noticeably better, and said with a smile, "No rush, Sister Du will give birth in a few months, and we'll know after she gives birth."
The woman waved her fan and said, "That's right, then let's wait patiently."
After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to reach out and touch Du Wanchun's belly through her clothes.
Du Wanchun looked down, her eyes crinkling with a smile. She said, "As long as the child is healthy, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
Xu Niang turned around and said goodbye to them, then returned to her shop to prepare for opening for business.
Not long after the woman left, the Zhou family shop welcomed its first customer.
The customer, heavily pregnant, slowly walked towards the shelf displaying the incense pills. "Shopkeeper, are these incense pills suitable for pregnant women?"
“Yes, yes, it’s usable. Our shopkeeper is also pregnant, so the incense made in the shop won’t harm the fetus,” Zhang Qiuhe explained, glancing at the newcomer.
The pregnant woman turned out to be the same woman who had accompanied Yagyu Genrai that day, the second young lady of General Mo's family.
