Zhao Qingyan felt helpless about this. She only hoped that her children would grow up quickly and be able to run and jump so that she could teach them martial arts.
That way, at least we won't have to grab the child on the ground every day.
Even if the mansion is kept spotless, you never know where an earthworm or some other little creature might come from.
Zhao Qingyan is most intolerant of all kinds of insects.
As Zhao Qingyan was looking forward to her child growing up quickly, she suddenly realized that her period seemed to be late.
Quickly, someone was summoned to fetch the royal physician. Half an hour later, the physician bowed and congratulated her, "Congratulations! Congratulations, Madam, you are pregnant!"
The first time it was called "good news," the second time it was called "surprise," but for Zhao Qingyan, the third time was more accurately described as "frightening."
Having planned to have only two children, Zhao Qingyan was now suddenly pregnant again, leaving her feeling utterly dejected.
These kids are all incredibly clever; she's never experienced the joys of raising them.
Who knows what kind of little monster this third one will be? Will it be even smarter than its older siblings?
Zhao Qingyan was pondering this in her heart, so she was in a low mood all afternoon.
When Xu Dongsheng returned home after being dismissed from his post, he heard the servants congratulating him as soon as he entered the courtyard.
After asking around, he learned that his wife was pregnant again, and he immediately grinned from ear to ear.
However, upon seeing Zhao Qingyan's lack of interest, he wisely adjusted his expression.
When Xu Dongsheng learned the reason why Zhao Qingyan was unhappy, he almost burst out laughing.
"Everyone else hopes to have a smart child, but why does my wife complain that the child is too smart and has no fun?"
Don't say those words again, or the children will be heartbroken if they hear them.
If the wife likes cute little dolls, she should visit her parents' home more often; her two younger brothers-in-law are quite well-behaved.
They laugh easily when teased, and I heard the youngest one has already started talking.
It's just a bit infuriating.
His father-in-law taught him to call him "Daddy," but he actually replied with "Yes." This infuriated his father-in-law.
Zhao Qingyan was also happy.
"Yes, those two little ones are indeed very cute, but a bit naive. If they're still like that when they grow up, they'll be easily fooled."
Xu Dongsheng thought to himself,
"Those two kids are smarter than other people's children, okay? They were fooled, and now they're even taking advantage of their father..."
After mentally grumbling about his two brothers-in-law, Xu Dongsheng decided to talk about something else to distract Zhao Qingyan.
"You shouldn't worry so much. Based on the Zhao family tradition, your two brothers-in-law are definitely not mediocre."
I heard about a case of a village being wiped out at the government office today. Sigh, these ordinary people just can't get away with trying things without any ideas.
"Would you like to hear this, Madam?"
Even though Zhao Qingyan had downloaded all sorts of movies and TV series in her space, she had already watched them countless times over the years since she came to this world.
As for books, even if she just flips through one when she's bored, she'll eventually finish it. Besides, there are quite a few reference books that aren't her type.
Hearing from Xu Dongsheng that there was a case, I was naturally willing to listen. It would also be a way to add some color to my otherwise bland life.
"This story takes place in the suburbs of Beijing."
There was an old woman who was used to being frugal.
The kind of person who wouldn't bear to waste a single grain of rice.
But in the countryside, with crops everywhere, it's normal for there to be rats.
The old woman naturally hated rats, so she asked her son to buy some rat poison.
As luck would have it, the rat poison was actually wheat soaked in poison.
That day, she was picking wheat to cook when she saw a large rat dart past her, and the old woman became furious.
They quickly went to find rat poison.
She was planning to poison the rats. Perhaps she was walking too fast, because she tripped and fell, landing right on the wheat she was carrying, mixing the rat poison into it.
The grain had been mixed with rat poison. Most people would have thrown it away, but this old woman couldn't bear to.
She then decided to pick out the poisonous wheat.
They were all wheat, and the color was similar, so she couldn't tell the difference. In the end, she simply stopped picking and just washed the wheat a few more times before putting it in the pot.
It's said that the porridge they ate was the thickest they'd ever had in years.
The family had only been eating for a short time when they started having stomach aches.
The old woman hadn't been feeling well lately, so she only drank half a bowl of porridge and that was it. As a result, her symptoms of poisoning were the mildest.
He crawled to the door, called the neighbors, and asked for a doctor.
Fortunately, they received medical attention in time, and the doctor proved to be quite skilled. After taking the medicine, only the old woman's husband died.
Zhao Qingyan was extremely shocked.
"That old woman must be blaming herself to death. Her husband is gone, and she still has to spend money to treat the whole family."
Xu Dongsheng nodded, "Don't rush, let me continue, this isn't over yet."
The old woman couldn't bear to waste the remaining half-pot of porridge, so she fed it to her chickens. As a result, all the chickens died.
Zhao Qingyan's eyes widened in shock. "No way?"
Xu Dongsheng nodded.
"The old woman was even more heartbroken when the chicken died, and even the death of the old man did not bring her to her senses."
When someone in the family passes away, a funeral is naturally held.
At the funeral banquet, the old woman used the dead chicken as food.
As a result, everyone who had eaten at her house was poisoned.
The matter escalated, and the villagers were furious. They sued the old woman and her family. And so, the whole story came to light through interrogation.
This is the most significant and bizarre case in the history of our Divine Dragon Kingdom since its founding.
Zhao Qingyan was startled by what she heard.
"This village annihilation case is clearly a very tragic case, but why do I feel like laughing when I hear about it?"
"It can't be true, right? You made it up to make me happy, didn't you?"
Xu Dongsheng put his arm around Zhao Qingyan's slender waist and said, "When have I ever made up a story to fool you? It's true."
So, when I teach our children in the future, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, I must also teach them these common sense things for daily life.
Otherwise, there's no guarantee that a second old woman won't wipe out a village.
