Chapter 104 Shen Su gets carried away
On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Shen Su, who had studied hard for a whole month, finally returned home. At this moment, he still didn't know what was waiting for him.
"Cha, where is the young mistress? Is she at Manman's place?"
Shan Cha did not answer the question, but said, "The girl said you should go to her place when you come back."
Shan Cha followed Shen Yuan's instructions and didn't tell Shen Su about He Ying's pregnancy.
"Are you still keeping me in suspense?" Shen Xu immediately left his yard and went to his sister.
Shen Yuan was leaning on the couch with his legs crossed, reading a storybook, his legs raised and humming a tune he had heard from somewhere.
Shen Su walked over and sat down next to his sister, taking the script from her hand.
"Where's your sister-in-law?"
"My sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' home." Shen Yuan put down his legs and rushed over to grab the book back.
"Go back to my parents' home?! Did you make her angry?"
"What are you talking about? How could my sister-in-law be angry with me? If she is angry, she will only be angry with you."
"Me? I haven't been back for a month, what can I do?" Shen Su was now like a monk who was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Shen Yuan teased her brother for a long time and could no longer hold back and had to tell the truth. She really wanted to quickly see her brother's reaction after he knew the news.
Shen Yuan stretched out his hand to his brother and said, "Give me fifty taels, and I will tell you why my sister-in-law went back to her parents' home."
"You..." Shen Su held back for a long time, and finally took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and slapped it hard on his sister's hand, "Dad is much more generous to you than to me, and you still want to blackmail me. Tell me now!"
"The reason is...my sister-in-law is pregnant, and you are going to be a father!"
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, the expected scene of jumping three feet high, screaming, or laughing out loud did not happen.
Shen Su seemed to be frozen in place.
"Brother?" Shen Yuan waved his hand in front of Shen Su, "You are not stupid, are you?"
"Sister..." Shen Su trembled and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Is it necessary for me to lie to you about this?"
"I'm going to be a father? I'm going to be a father! ... I'm going to be a father!!!"
"Ahhh Shen Su, don't go crazy, let me go!!"
Shen Yuan didn't hear Shen Su's scream, but she was the one who screamed instead.
Shen Su was so excited that he picked up his sister and swung her around...
Shen Yuan's shout called Qingdai and Baizhi who were outside in. After they came in, they were both startled by Shen Yuan.
Fortunately, he was still thinking about his wife, and quickly put down his sister who was almost thrown unconscious.
"Did the diagnosis that day show that you are pregnant? How many months is the baby? How is your sister-in-law's health?" He asked a bunch of questions and before Shen Yuan could answer, he hurried out.
"I have to hurry and bring your sister-in-law back!"
"Wait for me, I'm going too!" Shen Yuan quickly got down and put on his shoes and followed, "I've already agreed with my sister-in-law, I'm going to pick her up too."
On the carriage to the He family, Shen Yuan, who was sitting opposite Shen Su, could no longer bear it...
"Brother, can you stop laughing? It's frightening."
Shen Xu: "Hehe, I'm going to be a father hehe..."
Shen Yuan rubbed her arms speechlessly, planning to go home tonight and tell her father to buy more land for the family, because her brother, who was so stupid, would never pass the imperial examinations.
After the brother and sister arrived at the He family, they went to meet the old lady of the He family, He Ying's grandfather, according to the rules.
"How come you're here so soon? Yingniang hasn't even been here for a few days."
But towards Shen Yuan, the old man was very kind.
"Manman is here too? Go play with Yingniang in the back and have dinner here."
"Okay, Weng Weng, then Manman will go out first." After saying that, she didn't care about her brother and went out directly.
Every time his brother came, he would be tested on his homework, and Shen Yuan was used to it.
"Sister-in-law, I miss you so much. Aunt, I miss you too. It's been a long time since we last met. How come you look younger? Who would have guessed that you're going to be a grandmother?"
As soon as Shen Yuan arrived, he made Mrs. He smile happily, and immediately held her in his arms and kissed her.
"Girl, you haven't been to your aunt's house for a long time. I'm afraid you have forgotten your aunt."
"How could that be? I'm here now. Sister-in-law, my brother is here too. He's at Grandpa's place."
"Tonight, how about staying one more night? Manman, you don't have to go back tonight. Stay at your aunt's place for one night and come back early tomorrow morning. I often ask someone to clean your room."
She had been giving instructions every day, but now that she knew her daughter was leaving tomorrow, Mrs. He felt that there were still many things she had not said.
"Okay, I'll stay here tonight."
"Okay, okay, auntie will ask someone to clean up your room and ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. You two sisters can talk here."
Mrs. He has been so happy these days that she has been smiling non-stop.
"Manman, you're staying here. Can you send someone to tell your father?"
"No, before my brother came back, my father told me that if he came to pick you up, I could stay here for one night if I wanted."
Before He Ying married into the Shen family, Shen Yuan often stayed overnight at the He family, and the He family even reserved a special yard and room for her.
"Sister-in-law, is the child well behaved? Are you still vomiting?"
Speaking of the child, He Ying's smile became even gentler. "The child is very well behaved. I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
"Sister-in-law, I think you are more beautiful now." Shen Yuan was not exaggerating. She really felt that her sister-in-law now seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light.
"Ying Niang!"
Shen Xuxing rushed in from outside and interrupted the conversation between the aunt and sister-in-law.
As soon as Shen Xu entered the room, he first looked at his wife's face, then he looked down at his wife's waist which was still slender. The couple had not seen each other for a month, and it was a happy occasion. And because she was pregnant, they naturally had a lot to say.
Shen Yuan felt like he didn't need to eat sweets for three or four days, and he was overwhelmed by the sweetness.
She waved to Yingchun beside her, and the two of them retreated, leaving the space inside for the couple who had not seen each other for many days.
"Yingchun, will this baby be born in May next year?"
"Miss, it should be April. They say that pregnancy takes ten months, but usually the baby is born before ten months. I heard this from Madam these past two days."
"So that's how it is... April, April is better. The weather won't be too hot then, so my sister-in-law won't have too much hardship during her confinement."
"Yes, Madam said the same thing two days ago."
"I hope my brother will get a good score in the imperial examination, so that he can stay in the capital and serve as an official."
If he is assigned to a post outside the province, it can be somewhere nearby. But if he is assigned to a place far away like my cousin, the children will be young at that time, and the couple may have to be separated.
"Don't worry, young lady. Both the old lady and the old man praise my knowledge. I'm sure you'll pass the exam."
"Yes, I will!"
Shen Yuan also nodded. She had to have confidence in her brother.
