Chapter 175 Are You Pregnant?
"Hmm." Old man Zhou took the last puff of his cigarette.
Fell asleep contentedly.
The days are really getting more and more comfortable.
The family no longer lacked food and drink, the drought was relieved in time, and the mountain goddess gave them water from the earth's core.
Good things happen one after another.
The autumn examination is coming soon. Dalang will definitely pass the exam and become a scholar. The Zhou family will have another happy event.
When the time comes, we’ll have to hold a grand banquet.
Invite the whole village to a buffet! Let the whole village be happy with the Zhou family.

A few days later, a notice announcing the annihilation of Sheshan Village was posted in Longquan Town.
The villagers all knew about it and applauded.
Zhou Lang went to look for Zhou Qinan on purpose.
"Nephew, I have good news for you. The Sheshan stronghold that attacked our Taohua Village last time was wiped out by the government. Now everyone can finally rest assured."
Zhou Qinan smiled and said, "That's great! These bandits should have been wiped out long ago to get rid of harm to the people."
But the smile doesn't reach my eyes.
Too forced.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to tell and would think that he really approved of it.
Only Zhou Lang could see his bitterness.
Zhou Lang patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, it's great! The government is really powerful this time. There are no robbers. It will be safer for you to take the autumn exam this year. Nephew, study hard and pass the exam to become a scholar for our Zhou family."
"Okay, Fourth Uncle, I will do my best." Zhou Qinan nodded with a smile.
"To celebrate the annihilation of Sheshan Village, we are having meat today. Your grandfather asked me to bring you pork head, chicken thighs, and boiled eggs. Eat them while they are hot..."
Zhou Qinan put it away calmly.
"Thank you for your kindness, I'll trouble you to deliver it for me."
"Stop being polite. We are all family."
…
After annoying Zhou Qinan, Zhou Lang left feeling refreshed.
Zhou Qinan watched Zhou Lang's back disappear with a smile on his face. Under his sleeves, he clenched his fists tightly, trying to control his emotions.
The smile gradually faded.

"vomit!"
In the tofu shop.
Ruan was doing something when she suddenly vomited.
Everyone was shocked.
"What's the matter, Madam Ruan?"
"Why do you look so bad? Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest."
There are quite a few people in the tofu shop, all of whom come to work making tofu.
Ruan bent over and retched several times.
Mrs. Zhou was not there, but Lin Shiqi was there and hurried to help Ruan up.
"Second sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
Ruan covered her chest and said, "I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy and nauseous..."
When everyone heard this, they said, "Feeling sick? Could it be that you are pregnant?"
"You look haggard. You look this haggard when you first get pregnant. Sister Ruan, are you pregnant?"
"Is this month coming?"
Ruan was startled.
Then he showed a look of joy and bewilderment, "No, he didn't come..."
Could it be that she is really pregnant?
I calculated the date and it seems like he hasn't come.
I had my period last month.
Is eating incense ash really useful?
Before Lin Shiqi could say anything, everyone started congratulating Ruan.
"That's it, she must be pregnant."
"Now that you're pregnant, you must make sure to rest! Don't go to work. It's important to protect the fetus." Let Ruan rest, and there will be a vacant position in the tofu shop. They can find their own daughter-in-law to come in and work, which is a good thing.
"Yes, yes, yes, this time, maybe it will be a son, Sister Ruan, you will have hope for the rest of your life."
The more Ruan listened, the happier she became.
He also became more energetic. "It's not even a stroke yet, but thank you all for your kind words."
Lin Shiqi always felt something was wrong, but she had no experience in this area and couldn't get a word in.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou came into the room.
She was naturally happy to hear these words.
If Ruan is pregnant and the second wife gives birth to a son, then there will be a successor.
Which elder doesn’t want his family to have many children and grandchildren?
"Second brother's wife, go back to your room and have a rest. Tell me if you want to eat anything and I'll make it for you in the evening. From now on, the chores in your room will be left to the second brother..."
Ruan blushed and nodded slightly.
Wang also rushed over after hearing the news, "Congratulations, my second brother and his wife. This is something we have been waiting for for a long time. Hey, last time I went to the temple fair with my mother, I drew a fortune stick, and it worked!"
As she was speaking, Ruan started vomiting again.
There was a black-gray unknown substance in the vomit.
And he vomited so violently, as if he was going to vomit out all his internal organs.
The more Lin Shiqi looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
She suggested, "Mom, let's ask a doctor to take care of my second sister-in-law. Is she too tired from working recently? If she is really pregnant, please prescribe some medicine to protect the fetus..."
In the past, Mrs. Zhou would have insisted that there was no need to invite her. Which woman would not get pregnant? Who had not experienced vomiting?
Now that the family is wealthy, and thinking about the fact that the second wife has not given birth to a son yet, the couple are almost obsessed.
In addition, Ruan's condition seems to be a little bad. Everyone in the family is gaining weight visibly, and Ruan has lost a lot of weight in the past two months...
Then he relaxed, "Okay, go ask the doctor to save the fetus."
Ruan didn't know why she felt a little panicked when she heard this.
"Mom, no need. It costs money to see a doctor. I can just cry and go over..."
Mrs. Zhou's words were as good as gold in the old Zhou family. "I don't need you to pay for the money from the flower shop, don't worry."
I asked the fast runner in my family to go to the next village to ask for help from a doctor.
Wang accompanied Ruan back to the house to rest.
Everyone in the tofu shop was congratulating Mrs. Zhou in advance, saying that the Zhou family was going to have another baby.
Mrs. Zhou was very happy. She gave each person who worked today two extra cents as a gift, which made everyone happy.
Everyone looked at Lin Shiqi again, "Your fourth son's wife should be pregnant soon. The four Zhous are handsome and well-educated, and the fourth son's wife is also pretty. I wonder how pretty and smart a baby she will give birth to in the future."
"That's right, it's really exciting! Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're both going to be very attractive."
Lin Shiqi was shot even when he was lying down.
Mrs. Zhou loved to hear these words, "Fourth Brother's wife, your second sister-in-law is pregnant now, you and the fourth brother should hurry up!"
Lin Shiqi could only pretend to blush and turn away.
Everyone burst into laughter.
When there are many people, they tend to talk a lot.
What's more, everyone thought it was good news, and before they knew it, half the village knew about it.
Zhou Laoer had just returned from delivering goods and heard the good news.
He walked into the room excitedly, picked up Ruan and kissed her several times.
"Wife, are you really pregnant? Wife, you are so kind..."
"This time, we will definitely give birth to a son! It's worth all the hardship you've endured. Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you right away. Whether it's flying in the sky or running on the ground, as long as you want to eat it, I'll get it for you..."
