Tingting's twin pregnancy is now the hottest news in the village, as twins are quite rare.
“Jianjun, what a blessing! Twins!” Aunt Li said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I was quite surprised. That's why I didn't want Tingzi to come to work."
"Now that you have three more mouths to feed, is that enough?"
"Now that Tingzi is pregnant with twins, we need to be even more careful. After I finish work, I'll go pick some wild vegetables whenever I have time. As long as the family is together, things will always be alright, and everything will pass."
"Tingting is quite lucky," the people working around her remarked.
Tingting is still in her early pregnancy, so she often goes to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. When she sees wild vegetables being harvested, she goes up the mountain herself. She can still catch small prey, but she doesn't dare to hunt big ones now that she's pregnant.
On the mountain, Jianjun had no idea that he had been accumulating a lot of wild vegetables, fish, and game by the time spring planting was over.
"My precious Zhuzhu, call me 'Mommy,' hurry up, my darling, do you hear me?"
"Mother, ahhh," Xiao Zhuzi started babbling incoherently whenever he heard "Mother."
When Jianjun returned and saw his son calling for his mother, he was incredibly jealous. "Take my son to him right away, baby, call me daddy, and daddy will give you something delicious."
"While saying this, he kept teasing Zhu Zi, calling him 'Dad, Dad, oh, my baby.'"
"Wife, my son can call me Dad now. He went up and kissed the pillar."
"Oh dear, I heard you. You're so happy. Go wash your hands quickly. I've fed our son some formula. You should wash your hands and eat too."
Today, Tingting prepared braised pork trotters, cod, and some boiled shrimp and clams for the family.
"Eat up, look how plentiful this is! It's really good. I've worked all day and I'm exhausted, but the meal is already prepared when I get home. You're such a good wife."
"Stop trying to comfort me, just eat your food."
"Honey, your belly has gotten quite big. It looks like when our Zhuzi was about to give birth. I was so worried about you."
"What could be wrong with me? I'm just a bit lazy and love to sleep. Also, this kid keeps kicking me, and my feet are swollen."
"Honey, you've really had a tough time. You haven't been up the mountain lately, have you?"
“Tingting, when Jianjun asked you that, you were also stammering in your answer.”
"I went there, but I just wandered around and didn't do anything."
Jianjun could tell from her expression that she wasn't telling the truth, but he was also afraid to scold her and risk making her angry. So he said, "Next time, don't go. It's too dangerous. I'm really scared of twins. How can I live without you?"
Tingting felt ashamed when she heard him say that, so she said she wouldn't go again.
Jianjun had just finished eating and washed the dishes, then put them in Tingzi's online storage. Just then, he saw his mother knocking on the door.
"Mom, what happened? Jianjun, your sister is back. Her face is covered in bruises. She was bullied by the Sun family."
Tingting overheard their conversation and went out, her belly protruding. "Jianjun, I'll go with you."
"Your belly is so big, don't go, stay at home."
“Tingting, after hearing what he said, I can only go back inside and stay there. I’m also worried about the child.”
"Mother, what happened? Why were you bullied?"
“You don’t know, his old lady is so difficult. Our Meili has been married into the family for two years and is still not pregnant. Then her sister-in-law keeps coming around, saying it’s Meili’s fault and saying bad things about her.”
"That old lady Sun is no good either. She says that our Meili eats for free and doesn't lay eggs. She's not even as good as a hen, which can at least earn some work points."
“My Meili couldn’t stand what they said, so she argued with them. How could Meili fight against their whole family by herself? She was beaten and covered in bruises.”
"What about Sun Daguo? Is he a dead man? How could he let people beat his wife like that? What was he thinking?"
"Don't even mention it. Sun Daguo was blocked by those brothers and they wouldn't let him pass. In the end, Sun Daguo broke free from them, opened the door, and let Meili run away. Only then did Meili go back to her parents' home. Otherwise, she would have been bullied to death by them."
"That old Sun family, Mrs. Sun, they have no respect for anyone. We brothers aren't even dead yet, and they're already bullying us like this. Just wait, we'll go find them later."
"Dad, you don't need to go. Eldest brother, second brother, take the things and go ask them. How can they bully our girl like this?" Jianjun was furious when he saw Meili's face covered in bruises and her mouth was covered in purple marks as she cried.
"Alright, Meili, I'll go and prove you wrong. I'll beat their whole family to a pulp."
"Brother, there are five brothers in their family. Although the big country can't do anything, there are still a lot of people in their family. Don't let them get hurt."
"Alright, we have to get an explanation no matter what. Otherwise, we'll go to the city and sue them. They're acting like they own the law."
