Mountain top.
Mu Achen's family.
As soon as the news of Saintess Amo's return reached the orchard, almost all the aunties who were resting by the fire in the greenhouse after their shift came over.
Heiwu Village and Quedong Village, dozens of aunties.
The first thing they noticed when they entered was that, as if they had all agreed beforehand, their eyes were all fixed on Amo's belly.
How could Amo not understand the implications?
After all, Mu Achen had made a big fuss at the Starry Sky Fruit Forest.
This is not--
When the aunties saw that Amo's belly was flat, although they didn't say anything, the subtle look in their eyes made Amo's heart ache a little.
It wasn't that the women from the two villages were disappointed in her, but rather that they were all looking forward to seeing her and Achen's child.
after--
Upstairs, Amo changed into her Miao clothes while listening to her mother's nagging, without saying a word.
But what her mother said next made her feel dizzy.
“Amo, you have a long vacation, so put in the extra effort! As for Achen, his mother has already been secretly taking care of him.”
"But don't worry, even if Achen has some hidden problems, his mother and the old women from the Bai Miao side will cure him. Every Miao doctor in our Miao family has a secret recipe."
"Besides, Achen is still young. At most a year, his mother and grandmothers will guarantee you the best Achen."
"You can do whatever you want then, but at least one of each kind is required."
"The more the better! Ah Chen's branch is small, and our family is not short of money. Not to mention what you two have, your mother has saved some more for you."
"You all go about your business, and your Miao children will be taken care of by their mothers."
Upon hearing this, Amo, who had already changed into Miao clothing, sat in front of the dressing table and asked, both amused and exasperated, "Mother, who said Achen has a problem?"
"Don't you have any?"
"Of course not."
"That--"
Mother was displeased and pointed directly at Amo's belly, saying, "Since Mu Achen is fine, why isn't there any reaction here?"
Upon seeing this! Upon hearing this!
Amo's face was completely flushed.
"Mother, I know you're worried, but please don't secretly feed Ah Chen those things!"
"Also, don't rush Ah Chen. He's a man, the future Miao King of our Miao region, and the pillar of my little family. Don't put any mental pressure on him."
"As for what you're talking about, I've discussed it with him."
Although Amo also wanted to have a baby sooner, Achen wanted it to be two years later, so she had to listen to Achen.
Therefore, she didn't want Achen to be misunderstood by the Miao aunties in this regard, even though it would have some impact on her as well.
But Tang Amo didn't care.
"Amo, what are you and Achen really thinking?"
“Mother, please give us a little more time! Look how busy Achen is right now, and I also have to take care of things outside for him, helping him with his grand plans for the Miao family’s development, and so on! If I were pregnant now, it wouldn’t be a problem normally, but when I’m about to give birth, I’d have to take care of the pregnancy, and then Achen would have to manage both inside and outside the home, with such a heavy burden on his shoulders. What if he collapses under that weight? What would happen to Amo?”
"Amo--"
After fixing her hair, Amo got up and sat down next to her mother, taking her hand and saying:
“Mother, I know you and all the Miao people hope to see the new life soon, but right now, Amo has to take care of Achen!”
"Whether it's you and Father, or our future child, the only ones who can truly accompany Ah Chen and me to the end, until the very end of our lives, are each other."
Hearing this, Mother sighed and patted Amo's hand, "Alright, alright, Mother won't urge you anymore! Mother knew you would protect that Hun Miao boy, but you can't keep dragging this on like this, can you?"
"It's not about procrastination, it's about waiting until we're done with this year or two!"
"Besides, isn't this giving you more time to prepare, Mother? Otherwise, when you meet Xiao Chen or Xiao Mei, you won't have all the gifts ready!"
"Hey--go ahead and protect him! Just keep protecting that good-for-nothing Mu Achen!"
Mother sighed again and said, "When he can go into the mountains, make him something nutritious and bring it to him. Tell him that Mother won't urge him anymore, and that he shouldn't hide from Mother whenever he sees her from afar."
"Is Ah Chen avoiding you?"
"That's right, he's been hiding for over a month! But Ah Mo, I heard they spent over ten million to get into the Starry Sky Fruit Forest. Ah Chen is really bold."
"Mother, don't worry, Ah Chen knows what he's doing!"
"Alright then! Once you're done tidying up, go do your thing. I'll help Duoduo feed her chickens, ducks, and geese."
Feeding chickens, ducks, and geese?
Amo was taken aback. "Didn't Achen kill those chickens, ducks, and geese?"
“He doesn’t have time. His mother and auntie feed him every few days. He’s grown up now. When Duoduo saw him just now, she couldn’t stop smiling.”
As her mother walked to the door frame, she turned around and said, "By the way, I've tidied up the house for you, but I don't know where to put those things in the back room downstairs. Your father and uncles said those things are very expensive, a case of wine costs several thousand, so I didn't dare touch them. Go and see where to move them and let your brothers and uncles come and move them. Don't let the house be a mess."
"Okay, I'll go check it out in a bit."
Half an hour later--
Amo led Arui to the back room on the first floor.
Snap--
When she turned on the light and saw the variety of things piled up in the room, she was still dumbfounded, even though she was mentally prepared.
Not only Amo, but also Abao and the uncles who were called to move things stared wide-eyed.
Miao Lang, in particular, who had helped Ah Bao and the others move things that day, was filled with unease.
